Chapter 43: scolding

"How can you be so careless this Tuesday? Aren't you causing trouble for me?"

After listening to Liu Wuming's report, the workshop director panted, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a disappointed tone, then looked at Liu Wuming.

"What was the cause of the accident? Was it his own fault or the machine's?"

After hearing this, Liu Wuming fell silent for a moment.

"Director, I don't know the specific details, because as soon as Zhou Er got into trouble, I had someone send him to the hospital. I'm afraid the specific process will only be known after investigation!"

The workers who were discussing nearby fell silent at this time, and everyone turned their eyes to the workshop director.

You have to know that the treatment for these two accidents is different. If it was Zhou Er's own fault, then according to past examples, the factory would at most pay him a sum of money and give him a workstation, which would not be a lot of money, only about three or four million. But if it was the machine's fault, then the matter would be complicated.

Not only does he need to pay compensation and a work station, but he also needs to bear the living expenses and hospitalization fees of Zhou Er's family. It would be fine if there is a child in the family who is old enough to take over. If not, then he will need to raise the child until he is 18 years old and then take over in the factory. The expenses involved are enormous.

Especially in March, the state issued the "Labor Insurance Regulations of the People's Republic of China". All factories have organized trade unions, and trade union representatives have already moved into the factories. The regulations on work-related injuries and disabilities have become legally binding. It is no longer the case that factories can handle things however they want.

The workshop director's face suddenly turned pale, and he helplessly ordered: "This Tuesday, forget it, Master Liu, you come with me to the hospital to check the situation first!"

"Okay, Director!"

Liu Wuming responded, and the two of them left the factory one after the other and hurried towards the hospital.

Shortly after the workshop director and Liu Wuming left, a team of investigators arrived at the workshop and began investigating the cause of the accident on Tuesday.

Soon, the results of the investigation came out, and the improper operation on Tuesday was exposed.

After get off work in the afternoon, the news of Tuesday's incident spread all over the factory. As everyone got off work, the news also began to spread throughout Nanluoguxiang.

When Zhou Tian returned to the courtyard, he heard many versions of what happened on Zhou Er. Some said that Zhou Er deliberately disabled his son because he wanted his son to take over. Others said that Zhou Er did so on purpose to extort money.

There are even some conspiracy theories saying that someone is deliberately framing Zhou Er, and the intrigue is comparable to the palace fighting dramas in previous lives.

In short, these versions left Zhou Tian dumbfounded. He had to admire these people for being able to report a work-related injury incident in such a dramatic and tortuous way.

As Zhou Tian just walked into the front yard, one of the workers from the ceramic factory in the front yard suddenly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.

"Master Zhou, I heard that the person who got into trouble was someone from your workshop. Do you think Zhou Er did that to extort money? Or was he framed?"

Looking at the newcomer, especially the burning gossip in his eyes, Zhou Tian was speechless.

"Master Liu, please stop asking around. The factory has already concluded that the worker was disabled because of improper operation on Tuesday. Please stop spreading such gossip!"

Unexpectedly, Master Liu just chuckled.

"I didn't say this, I just heard it from people outside!"

Zhou Tian shook his head helplessly, ignored him, and walked towards the backyard.

However, he could also imagine that what he said to Master Liu would spread throughout the street in less than half an hour.

It is also because people nowadays lack a large number of entertainment programs. Otherwise, they would not treat gossip as news or unusual events. Even after secondary processing, the original truth of the matter has been completely changed and unrecognizable.

After returning home, Zhou Tian felt mentally exhausted. To be honest, what happened today gave him a great shock, especially the sight of Zhou Er lying in a pool of blood and wailing, which made him somewhat alert.

Human life is too fragile. Steel rolling mills belong to heavy industry and there are many injuries and even deaths every year.

But after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so the impact on him was small. But today he saw with his own eyes the tragic scene on Tuesday, and for the first time, he had a new understanding of the danger of his job.

Especially since the person on Tuesday was a co-worker he knew, this kind of understanding cannot be compared with just listening to some data and rumors.

“Maybe, I should really do something for them!”

Zhou Tian stared absentmindedly at the locust tree outside the window that had grown green leaves, muttering to himself.

In fact, as early as a month ago, Zhou Tian had the idea of ​​modifying the machine tools. Now, after years of continuous wear and tear, the machine tools in the steel rolling mill have already had various problems.

If it were in the past, even if Zhou Tian had this idea, he would not take action now. On the one hand, it is because the steel mill is still a private enterprise and he does not want to add bargaining chips to Lou Jiancheng.

On the other hand, he knew that in a few months at most, Big Brother's experts would come to our country one after another to support the country's heavy industrial construction.

He also didn't want to help Big Brother's people.

But now he was a little hesitant. After all, there were still a few months left. If some unexpected things happened during these months, that would not be what he wanted to see.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask his master for his opinion tomorrow, as this matter was really big.

"Forget it, let's just read and study first, and we can talk about other things tomorrow!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Tian took out his books from his backpack, sat on a chair, and began to read attentively.

After a while, he was immersed in the knowledge in the book.

At the same time, in the space of my mind, the knowledge of electricians began to burst out continuously, and virtual scenes kept emerging, in which the operations and experience of electricians were constantly accumulating.

In a flash, more than half an hour had passed.

When Zhou Haosan came back from elementary school, he saw Zhou Tian reading a book in the room.

Zhou Hao made a gesture to his third brother and younger sister to keep quiet, asking them to do their homework first. He then turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.

During this period, since Zhou Hao was the one who was cooking the whole time, he had become much more skilled compared to the initial chaos.

Lighting the fire, warming the pot, cutting vegetables, a series of operations quickly became orderly under his hands. However, when he saw the rice and flour in the jar, he could not help but look at his elder brother who was reading intently, and shook his head.

Apparently, my brother forgot to buy rice flour again, so he could only steam Wowotou with corn flour.

After the food was ready, he called his third brother to help bring the food to the table.

"Brother, it's time to eat!"

Zhou Tian was watching intently and had no idea what was happening outside until he heard his second brother's voice in his ears.

"Know it!"

Reluctantly putting the book down, he stood up and walked to the dining table. However, when he saw the food on the table, he couldn't help but slap his forehead. Then he remembered that he had forgotten that the rice and flour at home had been eaten up, and only some corn flour was left.

When he saw his third brother looking at the steamed bread on the table with disgust, he felt a little guilty.

"What are you looking at? Don't you want to eat?"

Naturally, the third brother's expression could not escape the eyes of the second brother. Zhou Hao, who had just brought the pickles, became angry and shouted at the third brother Zhou Yu.

"I didn't say that!"

The third brother looked at his second brother humbly, lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"What's that expression on your face? Have you forgotten what we ate before? I think you've been eating too well recently! Nothing else matters! If you don't want to eat, just starve!"

Zhou Hao sat down and started scolding Zhou Yu.

"Okay, second brother, eat, third brother, little sister, eat!"

Seeing his third brother looking aggrieved, Zhou Tian couldn't help but say.
