Past events in the machine tool shop

Cheng Yu's master's surname is Li, and his name is Li Yibo. He is in his fifties, and he holds a glass with red dates and tea leaves all the year round.He is a serious craftsman with excellent skills, and he can be called a half pillar of the machine tool workshop.It is said that the machine tool workers in the surrounding counties and cities are no better than him. If there are intractable diseases on the parts, some people will specially invite Master Li to visit.

But Li Yibo has never brought out an apprentice who can become a teacher on his own. First, young people can't bear this hardship. Many people can't stay for a few days and have to find easier jobs. Second, the equipment is now more advanced. Many people After learning a little bit of fur, go out and open a repair shop by yourself. The equipment is advanced, and the requirements for craftsmanship are not so high.

Everyone knows that it's not easy to be an apprentice, but Cheng Yu thinks that Li Yibo is a nice person. Although he looks a bit unkempt because of his black and white hair, he is really a good person.

Li Yibo has a job in his hand, which is a private job from outside. Almost every lathe worker in their workshop is taking private jobs. The director turns a blind eye to this, and sometimes organizes them to go collectively to the big factory. Do some private work to earn extra money.

There was nothing to do at work in the afternoon, so Li Yibo asked Cheng Yu to watch and let him watch and learn more.The other young people in the workshop chatted together in twos and threes. When Cheng Yu came out of the workshop to the lounge to fetch water for Li Yibo, they called Cheng Yu together. Cheng Yu glanced at the water glass in his hand in embarrassment.

"Master Li asked me to watch him work." Cheng Yu said.

Zhang Yongzhong waved his hand and said with a look of hesitation: "Then you go quickly, Mr. Li has only caught such an honest boy like you for several years, and he expects you to be his closed disciple."

Cheng Yu took the water and entered the door, and heard them talking about Li Yibo in a low voice: "I'm scared when I look at him, so I dare not be his apprentice."

"Look too closely, and I'm not a primary school student."

"Cheng Yu is an honest person, so Cheng Yu can stand this control."

Cheng Yu lowered his eyes, and was about to walk in quickly, when Zhang Yongzhong called him: "Get off work on time at night, don't forget what I told you at noon."

Cheng Yu doesn't know how to play billiards, and he doesn't really want to go, but he grasps the speed, Zhang Yongzhong's invitation, two or three times, he will accept the next time, lest they feel that he is out of group, too lonely, and finally isolated by the whole group .

The few times they asked Cheng Yu to have dinner and sing K together, Cheng Yu refused, and it was the third time they played billiards. Cheng Yu was still standing beside the lathe in a daze, thinking about what to do at night.

It's not that he has social phobia or social difficulties. People who come out of orphanages are more or less wary of the world, not to mention that Cheng Yu came here back then, which can be called a hasty escape.

Cheng Yu didn't want to recall the past, he shook his head and continued to watch Li Yibo work.Li Yibo noticed that his mind was not on this, and without turning his head, he said, "Didn't sleep at noon, okay? Go to my lounge and sleep for a while."

Cheng Yu quickly said: "No, no, I haven't woken up yet."

Li Yibo turned his head to look at him, and said: "I have a box of tea in the drawer of the lounge, grab some tea and refresh yourself."

Cheng Yu went to make a cup according to his words, and then continued to stand obediently beside Li Yibo holding the water cup. Li Yibo said to him, "The most important thing in our job is to concentrate and keep your mind steady. When you are thinking wildly, half of your hand will be involved."

Cheng Yu imagined the scene for a while, and was taken aback by the picture he had imagined, and took a step back unconsciously.

Li Yibo stopped the buzzing lathe, unscrewed the glass, and took a big sip of tea. "What, are you scared?"

Cheng Yu replied truthfully: "A little bit."

"If you're afraid to come to our workshop again, why don't you go directly to the sorting workshop? The wages are high and the work is easy. The only problem is three shifts. But don't you young people just like to stay up late?" Li Yibo said.

Cheng Yu whispered to him: "This is what I learned in school."

Li Yibo looked him up and down, and asked, "Learn this in school?"

Cheng Yu explained again: "It was when I was in technical secondary school."

Li Yibo showed an unexpected and reasonable appearance, and finally said: "I don't think you are very old, I guess you are about ten years old. So you studied in a technical secondary school."

His master said this, showing that he was interested in his past and wanted to chat with him, but Cheng Yu didn't answer his words, he just lowered his eyes and hummed.

Seeing Cheng Yu's reaction, Li Yibo didn't ask any more questions, the machine tool stopped, and there were only two people snorting and drinking tea in the space.Li Yibo took a big sip of tea, chewed the root of the tea and talked to Cheng Yu.

"Is it good? This tea."

Cheng Yu was puzzled and said, "It's delicious."

Li Yibo let out a muffled laugh: "My niece bought it. She went to Hangzhou on a business trip a while ago and said that I love tea, so she brought me two boxes of West Lake Longjing Tea."

Cheng Yu couldn't help sighing.West Lake Dragon Well tea is not a top-notch, expensive and rare tea, but it was bought by Li Yibo's daughter. He drank a cup to refresh himself, and he was inevitably a little restless.

The most important thing is that Cheng Yu heard that Li Yibo had a bad relationship with his children, and now he is raising a child adopted by a distant relative.Cheng Yu drank this tea, as if he had been involved in the intricate family affairs of Li Yibo's family.

And this was not what Cheng Yu wanted.

It's not surprising that Cheng Yu has only been here for more than a month, and even he can hear about Li Yibo's family discord, which shows that this matter is at least an open secret that everyone knows in the machine tool workshop.Cheng Yu himself really heard the discussion from other people in the workshop during lunch.But Cheng Yu himself heard that it was one thing, and Li Yibo told him another thing.

Cheng Yu's many years of living experience in the orphanage is that don't know too many secrets. If you don't want to be the leader to attract attention, you don't need to get too close to the leader, let alone listen to the leader's secrets.

Cheng Yu has suffered some losses and stumbled, and there are still some young people's curiosity and vitality in other things, but he never dares to make his own opinions on such things.

He was just bowing his head and thinking about it, when Yang Gong came in. As soon as he came in, he had a fiery atmosphere, and his voice was loud, even when he drank water, he was gurgling.

After Yang Gong finished drinking the water, he said loudly to Li Yibo, "Old Li, the tea is not bad. I just stole some to drink."

Li Yibo responded to him, saying, "You have to pay for what you drink, you can't drink for nothing."

Yang Gong bit the tea foam in his front teeth, half-closed his eyes, and said, "What's the matter, you can drink for nothing if you give it to the apprentice, but you can't drink it for nothing if you give it to me, it's too picky, Lao Li."

Li Yibo looked at Cheng Yu with a half-smile, and said, "It turns out that your kid turned his elbows out and opened a warehouse for him?"

Looking at his expression, Cheng Yu felt that he seemed a little serious, but not completely serious, but he couldn't say that he was joking, and he was in a dilemma for a while, and he couldn't speak.

Instead, Yang Gong wandered over with his teacup in his hand, muttering, "Look at you, I'm just kidding, I've scared Xiao Cheng, so I'll scare this apprentice away."

After Yang Gong walked away, Cheng Yucai whispered to Li Yibo: "Master, I didn't give it to you. I went to make tea for you just now. Before he left, he also came in. I didn't put it away."

There are a total of twenty people in the machine tool workshop, and there are only five or six apprentices, and the remaining dozen are regular workers.Lathe workers and electricians are the two major types of work in machine tool workshops. Fitters, millers and other maintenance workers are not as popular as lathe workers and electricians, so these two types of work also have the most employees.

Li Yibo and Yang Gong Yang Heping are lathe workers and electricians with the best skills and deepest experience, so apart from the workshop director, they share a lounge and don't have to squeeze together with a bunch of young people.In the workshop, the evaluations of the excellent and the advanced are usually pointed at Li Yibo and Yang Heping.

Although the types of work are different, everyone in the workshop knows that Li Yibo is definitely stronger in terms of technology, but Yang Gong is also the deputy director of the workshop, so no matter how you say it, Li Gong and Yang Gong are the two heads of the workshop.

Cheng Yu came to the machine tool workshop for only one month, but he already had a deep understanding of the specious and vague confrontation between Li Yibo and Yang Heping.Cheng Yu can always avoid the dispute between Li Yibo and Yang Heping, lest their city gate catch fire and bring harm to his innocent fish.

After Cheng Yu said this to Li Yibo, Li Yibo looked up at him, didn't say anything, just chuckled, and said: "Drink it, drink it, a cup of tea, what can you do."

Cheng Yu was a little ashamed for no reason, bowed his head and hummed, and honestly drank the water in his hand.After a while, he heard Yang Gong's voice again, and when he looked up, he had already walked up to him.

Li Yibo's work station is next to the main entrance of the workshop. When Yang Heping walked here, he happened to be able to see people sitting in twos and threes chatting together outside.

"Hey, come here, stop chatting and have a short meeting!"

Yang Heping's voice was quite loud, and he called everyone over. It was the afternoon when the sun was high, and it was a rare sunny day in winter, which made people very warm. Everyone wanted him to make a long story short and end quickly.

However, Yang Heping was full of airs when he was the deputy director of the workshop, and he even used an official tone: "Director Feng has gone to the party school for further study, and it will take three months. Everyone knows this, and I, the deputy director, will manage the three months. workshop."

Director Feng has been away for half a month, and two meetings have been held in this half month, and Yang Heping started with this matter every time, so no one in the workshop responded to this.Everyone looked at each other, waiting for his next words.

"Just now I went to the factory to hold an all-staff meeting above the director level. There are some personnel transfers in our factory. What has something to do with us is that a new chief of the propaganda department has arrived in the factory. The meeting will be held this month. The grassroots understand the basic production situation in each workshop, and when the time comes, our workshop will warmly welcome the new section chief, and you young people will be responsible for introducing it to the section chief."

Zhang Yongzhong was lively and talkative, so he couldn't help asking: "When will he come? Don't let us just squat outside and talk about him, people will come."

Yang Gong glared at him and said, "Then you won't say a few words less?"

Yang Heping looked around for a week, still worried, and finally turned his attention to Cheng Yu, he said: "Xiao Zhang is too unreliable, I don't worry, Xiao Cheng, if the new section chief comes, you will be responsible for receiving him. I will tell you the specific situation in private later, there is nothing else, let's end the meeting."

Everyone dispersed, those who should work did their work, and those who had no work squatted back outside to continue basking in the sun and chatting.Yang Heping stretched out his hand to greet Cheng Yu, and said, "Come here, I'll tell you."

They stood in front of the workshop gate, the afternoon sun was shining generously outside, and it also shone on the faces of Yang Heping and Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and Yang Heping's face could be seen very clearly under the sunlight, the lines and grooves on his face, the unshaven beard on his face, and his eyes that were radiant when he spoke.

Cheng Yu's heart seemed to be fumed, and he also became vigorous and energetic.There is no harm in coming here, Cheng Yu thought, at least life has indeed turned for the better.
