Past events in the machine tool shop

Cheng Yu came to the workshop early. The design of the factory is linear. After a production process is completed, the machine tool workshop is at the very end.But Cheng Yu can arrive at the workshop almost 10 minutes earlier every day. He will clean up, boil a pot of boiling water for Li Yibo and Yang Heping, and then quietly wait for work.

Li Yibo also came very early. It can be said that before Cheng Yu came to the machine tool workshop, Li Yibo was the first person to come to the machine tool workshop. Li Yibo was also doing the cleaning and drinking water.

Cheng Yu once asked Li Yibo why he came so early because he politely chatted with him in the empty workshop. Li Yibo's answer was very simple. He was late due to bad weather or other reasons, so he has been used to getting up early and staying in the workshop early for many years.

Cheng Yu found it strange that even temporary workers like them in the factory's family area would arrange dormitories. Li Yibo had worked in the factory for many years, so he couldn't even get a flat in the family area.

After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing surprising. Although there are not many workers living in the city, there are quite a few people. Li Yibo is not the only one in the machine tool workshop who does not live in the family courtyard. It is probably just a difference in living habits.

After Li Yibo finished explaining the reason, he took the initiative to chat with Cheng Yu: "Why did you come so early today?"

Cheng Yu couldn't say that he didn't want to see his new roommate, so he found an excuse and said: "The heating in the dormitory is very hot, and the windows and the door were closed too tightly last night, and I was so hot that I slept in the middle of the night. Come on, wake up early."

Cheng Yu took the broom from Li Yibo's hand, and Li Yibo stood aside and said, "Our factory does not use central heating in the city. There is a boiler room in the factory, and the heating is burned by our own factory. In addition to providing heating for the family courtyard, we also need The production rhythm in the supply factory is three shifts, so it is very hot, and I will gradually get used to it in the future.”

Cheng Yu responded, and the two of them cleaned up the workshop. After a while, people came in twos and threes. When Zhang Yongzhong came in, Cheng Yu avoided Zhang Yongzhong's gaze, and barely avoided it once.

Winter is the off-season of the factory's production, and there is not much work to do in the machine tool workshop. Li Yibo's private work can be finished in the afternoon, so Cheng Yu is not allowed to watch, but Cheng Yu is eager to stay by his side.He had only offended Zhang Yongzhong the night before, and Cheng Yu hadn't figured out how to face him.

Zhang Yongzhong sat with a group of young temporary workers as usual, basking in the sun and chatting outside. Cheng Yu poked his head and looked out cautiously.

Li Yibo was taking a ruler to measure the size, waved his hand at him, and said, "Stand over there, it will block me." Seeing Cheng Yu moving his feet obediently, Li Yibo raised his eyes to look at him, and said amusedly: "You can do it just by looking at it." It's over, don't waste time with me, go play with them outside for a while."

Before Cheng Yu could speak, Meng Rui came in.Meng Rui is one of the few female workers in the workshop. The ratio of men to women in the machine tool workshop is very different. There are only three female workers including temporary workers, and Meng Rui is the oldest.

She is in her forties. Although she is engaged in machine tools, she looks young and well-maintained. It is said that her husband resolutely went into business when he was laid off, and made some money in the past two years. Be young.In addition, Meng Rui, who entered the factory at this time, was not wearing bulky overalls, but a cashmere coat that fell below the knees, and ankle-heeled ankle boots, which made him look even more fashionable and beautiful. Not of one world.

As soon as Meng Rui entered the workshop, he yelled at Li Yibo: "Master Li, just now my son's head teacher called and said that he had a fight at school, I have to go and see, can you help me with this job? "

The tone of her speech was discussion, but the meaning was not discussion at all. After all, she had already changed her clothes, and she just informed Li Yibo and the others.

Li Yibo didn't speak, and neither did the other lathe workers in the workshop. Meng Rui seemed to be used to this kind of situation long ago, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Patting on the back, he said to him with a caring attitude like an elder: "Xiao Cheng, have you been here for so long and haven't done it alone? I will give you a chance today. I will put the blueprint here for you, will it be possible?" If you have any questions, just ask your master, or other masters in the workshop, everyone is very nice and will give you answers."

After she finished speaking, she patted Cheng Yu's hand, stuffed the drawing into Cheng Yu's hand as if encouraging, and left the workshop in a hurry.It's no wonder she skipped work so grandiosely. Today, Yang Heping was invited to Linshi to solve a surprise problem. The machine tool workshop is in a period of free-range breeding without a leader. Meng Rui, who doesn't like to sit on shift and doesn't like to work, is of course the first to bear the brunt Just slip away.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared from Cheng Yu's sight that Cheng Yu inexplicably held the blueprint in his hand and showed it to Li Yibo.

Li Yibo also shook his head helplessly, squinted his eyes and nodded his chin in the direction of Meng Rui's work station, and said, "It's over there, you can do it, it's not too difficult, and it can be done in half an hour."

According to Li Yibo's speed, of course it is within half an hour, but according to Cheng Yu's speed, this simple blueprint took him a whole morning.However, Cheng Yu was not annoyed by wasting time, after all, this time saved him from facing Zhang Yongzhong, otherwise he would not know how to make things difficult for him.

Cheng Yu showed the sample of the car to Li Yibo. Li Yibo weighed it in his hand a few times and said, "Not bad, although it's been a while, but it's very regular. After you get used to it, you can speed it up."

Cheng Yu embarrassedly rubbed the oil on his fingers, Li Yibo glanced down, put Cheng Yu's finished parts on the lathe, and said: "Go to my place and wash it with soap. , It’s about to seep into the skin, and after years and years, with a pair of rough hands, my daughter thought I had pricked my face when she was young.”

This is the second time that Li Yibo mentioned his daughter to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu thought of the gossip he had heard about Li Yibo's family, and hurriedly turned and left to wash his hands.

Li Yibo is a very good teacher and a very good person, the more he is like this, the more troubled Cheng Yu is because of the gossip he heard.

There are rumors in the workshop that Li Yibo's wife is a difficult Hedong lion. Li Yibo and his wife can't educate their children well. Now they use their pension money to raise relatives' children, which makes the relationship with the children worse.But how bad it is, the people in the workshop dare not say it in secret. It's just that family ugliness should not be publicized. It would not be very respectable for everyone in the workshop to talk about it secretly.

Lunch at noon was eaten in the cafeteria. It was almost time for lunch when Cheng Yu came out after washing his hands. Li Yibo asked him to take the lunch box with him to the cafeteria.

The two walked side by side to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is outside the factory, between the factory and the family home. You can only eat by swiping the employee card. However, when the production is the busiest, the children of the factory's dual employees will also come to the cafeteria to eat because there is no one to take care of them.

Cheng Yu and Li Yibo sat together, it was winter in the north, and it was a cafeteria, so naturally there was nothing delicious, potatoes and cabbage were indispensable for every meal.Today's lunch is stewed beef with potatoes, minced meat with cabbage vermicelli, fried cowpea with chili, fried cabbage, scrambled eggs with fungus, and seaweed soup.

Cheng Yusheng had a good meal and sat down opposite Li Yibo. Li Yibo glanced at him and asked, "Just eat this?"

Cheng Yu took a spoon and scratched the food box unconsciously twice, and said, "It looks a bit too oily, I don't have much appetite."

Li Yibo smiled: "The food in the cafeteria looks greasy, but in fact it is the clear soup with little water and no nutrition. You will be hungry after a while, so go eat more."

Cheng Yu wanted to refuse, but watched Zhang Yongzhong and his friends sit down with bowls from a distance, his eyes were about to glance at him, he got up quickly, and agreed: "Okay, I'll go now."

There is a queue in the cafeteria to eat. A few pots of vegetables are placed on a big table. It is a self-service meal. You can eat as much as you want. There are many people queuing up during lunch time. Cheng Yu is carrying the bowl and lined up to the end. I thought it would be better to line up for a while , just to avoid Zhang Yongzhong, and make a time difference with him.

While queuing up, another group of people entered the cafeteria. Compared with the workshop workers in overalls, this group of people was well-dressed and clean, and they were all working in the Office Affairs Building.Although they are employees of the same factory, there is still a huge difference between the workshop workers on the production line and the clerical staff in the office, as if they are already a level above the workshop workers.

Cheng Yu raised his eyes and saw a particularly eye-catching person among the group of people, Wu Weiran.

Wu Weiran is also very prominent among the generally tall northerners. In addition, he is wearing a black work jacket, which makes him look taller, longer-legged, and imposing.Wu Weiran is young and not bad looking. When he came in like this, although he was among the dozen or so people, he stood out from the crowd. Among the group of people who pretended to be very high-level, he was the real high-level.

Ninety percent of the people in the cafeteria had noticed Wu Weiran, and the young female colleagues were already talking head to head. Many people were asking who this person was, and why they had never seen him before.

Only Zhang Yongzhong caught a glimpse of Wu Weiran, snorted coldly, and stopped. At the end, he seemed to feel that he should not start too much, so he turned back quickly and continued to stare at Wu Weiran, wanting to see who Wu Weiran was.

But Wu Weiran didn't look away. He was surrounded by a group of people and sat down at a dining table, and then two people sat beside him and chatted with him. After a while, other people came over with a plate, and then talked with Le Start the meal happily.

Cheng Yu also returned to the dining table at this moment. He lowered his head to eat, and glanced at Wu Weiran's table from time to time. It's not that there are no plates in the canteen, but the reason why they have to bring their own lunch boxes every day is because there are too many staff in the canteen. There was a shortage of dishwashers in the factory, so the factory simply urged employees to bring their own lunch boxes, saving this step.Workers in the factory often joked that the dishes in the canteen are rarer than those in five-star restaurants, but today they can be used once.

Li Yibo ate fast, and he had already finished his meal. If he didn't go back to the dormitory, Cheng Yu didn't go the same way with him, so he was embarrassed to make him wait.Seeing that Li Yibo finished eating, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "Master Li, go back first after you finish eating, I will go back by myself later."

Li Yibo had no objection, and got up to leave. Cheng Yu quickly finished eating and left the cafeteria before Zhang Yongzhong and Wu Weiran.He walked fast all the way, December was already deep winter, it was so cold that the air seemed to freeze, only the cold wind cut the face.

As he was walking with his head buried, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Cheng Yu was taken aback, and turned his head to see that it was Zhang Yongzhong who he was more afraid of seeing.

Zhang Yongzhong swept away his old style, took no one with him, and followed him alone for a while, and asked him: "Cheng Yu, what are you hiding?"

Cheng Yu's face was gloomy, but he still said truthfully: "Because of what happened yesterday."

Zhang Yongzhong snorted, and said disdainfully: "I'm not that confused yet. Didn't that person come up to provoke him? It has nothing to do with you. Don't add drama to yourself. It seems like I'm bullying you."

Cheng Yu wondered why you kept staring at me without bullying, Zhang Yongzhong said again: "But don't be too complacent just because you saw me lose once, I was in an accident yesterday, do you remember?"

Cheng Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Zhang Yongzhong was just afraid of losing the face of the leader, so he complimented Zhang Yongzhong several times and promised not to underestimate Zhang Yongzhong, so Zhang Yongzhong let him go: "Come on, hurry back, I want Go smoke a cigarette."

Cheng Yu was let off by Zhang Yongzhong, and his heart jumped for joy. He even walked back to the dormitory much more briskly. When he walked downstairs, he raised his eyes and saw a tall figure. He folded his arms and looked in the direction of Cheng Yulai. With a narrow smile.

"Why? Being accepted by the boss as a younger brother makes you so happy?" Wu Weiran asked Cheng Yu not very friendly.
