young friends come to meet

Yin Congnan agreed to his invitation.

He hasn't been to his house since he started training.Speaking of which, he did miss Mrs. Ye Kai's craftsmanship.

It was past seven o'clock when I left the factory.At this time in winter, the sky is already dark.They were wearing thick cotton clothes and walking on the open road, and they could all hear the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

Ye Kai felt very guilty because he hid Yin Congnan's notebook privately, and he didn't say anything along the way.Yin Congnan was the first to speak, "How are you doing?"

"Very good." As soon as Ye Kai spoke, he exhaled a cloud of white air, which slowly dissipated under the dim light of the street lamp.He added, "My aunt always asks me why you haven't come here recently."

"Aren't you here today? You should have said earlier that I can still buy something for my aunt."

Ye Kai shook his head, "My aunt doesn't care about this."

It was freezing cold, the two of them unknowingly quickened their pace, chatted a little on the way, and arrived at Ye Kai's house.

The aunt saw that Yin Congnan was coming, and welcomed him in warmly, saying that she had left a lot of food for Ye Kai, which should be enough for two people.Ye Kai was a little embarrassed, "You left me so much food, as if I was a bucket of rice."

The aunt said, "Boys, you should eat more. Xiao Yin, you should eat more too!"

"it is good."

Ever since Yin Congnan understood the temper of Ye Kai's family, he was no longer polite, as if he had returned to his own home.

After eating, Ye Kai went back to the room and took out the Shakespeare poems he found earlier.He said to Yin Congnan, "I looked it up in the dictionary, but I still can't understand it."

Yin Congnan saw that his notebooks were well protected by Ye Kai, and some even wrapped the book covers with calendar paper.He touched the book cover and looked at it.

Ye Kai said, "I don't have a cabinet anymore, so I can only put it on the floor and wrap it with a book cover to avoid getting dirty."

Yin Congnan smiled, and fixed his eyes on the few poems he copied down by hand.

He remembered that it was copied from an old magazine, in both Chinese and English, and there were only five sonnets in total.When he saw it for the first time, he felt the same as Ye Kai. He knew all the words, but he just couldn't read them.

He said, "All poems are like this, the word order will change a bit, and the grammar may not be completely rigorous." He pointed to the first line of one of the poems and said, "May I compare you with Xia Tian?" Then, he Read it in English.

Ye Kai followed behind him stumbling and repeating.

He looked up the dictionary by himself that day and tried to read it.It's a pity that he couldn't find the rhythm of the English poem at all, and it was very ugly to read that the preface didn't match the postscript.But today, listening to Yin Congnan reading aloud in his ear, the English poem has completely changed.Yin Congnan's voice is calming. Although Ye Kai still doesn't understand the words and sentences flowing in his mouth, because of Yin Congnan's reading aloud, they are endowed with a meaning beyond the semantics of the words.Like a song.It was Ye Kai's first time listening to an English song, and he didn't know what the song was about, but he thought it sounded good.

Gradually, he stopped reading along, and just listened to Yin Congnan read, one song after another.

The results of the excellent evaluation came out. Although it has not been officially announced, there have been various news that are close to each other in the factory.

No matter how much the factory leaders emphasized not to disclose the results of the selection, the news would still spread like wildfire, and everything would be revealed.This is the case every year. Before the commendation meeting is held, everyone knows the result well.

Ye Kai is not among the outstanding employees.

"How could there be no Ye Kai?" Ren Haoguang complained in the locker room.

Zhao Yongbao said, "Gong Zhao is an excellent party member. Then Ye Kai should be an excellent employee."

Ren Haoguang became more and more angry, "Exactly! If you want to say that in the past, it was not a democratic election, and it was fine not to give us young workers, but this year Ye Kai was elected by everyone. In addition, this year, which major event in our factory is not Our workshop has done the most meritorious service. Ye Kai is the only candidate for an outstanding employee, why not give it?"

Everyone else said the same thing, and everyone chatted lively in the locker room.

Only the person involved, Ye Kai, kept silent and changed clothes in front of the cabinet.

"Ye Kai, aren't you angry?" Ren Haoguang said loudly.

Ye Kai ignored him, changed his clothes, and was ready to go out to work.

Ren Haoguang persisted and continued to analyze, "I know! It must be because of Wang Dong."

"Our director? Why?" Zhao Yongbao asked in confusion.

Ren Haoguang sat on the bench and said to Zhao Yongbao next to him, "Look, Wang Dong didn't work well in aiding Africa. Everyone knew about his sudden transfer of personnel. Later, he also introduced imported equipment. No effort, it’s all Teacher Yin who is helping us. Not only Wang Dong, but also Jia Peng, throwing away the shopkeeper. Occasionally support us, just to get a good relationship. Think about it, they were candidates before, and the leaders, out of face, They have to be elected, this year they are not candidates, and those leaders who dislike the riveting workshop will definitely not choose Ye Kai."

Ye Kai couldn't listen anymore, "Haozi, there is no end to it. If you have so many twists and turns, you work hard, you become the factory manager, and give me awards every year."

"Ye Kai! I'm not worth it for you." Ren Haoguang was very aggrieved, "Don't tell me, I will strive to join the party next year, study business, and take an exam as a technician. It will not be a dream to be a factory director in 20 years!"

Zhao Yongbao listened carefully and said to himself, "I will not be 20 years old in 50 years, can you judge me every other year? I can get a few more grades of salary when I retire."

When Zhao Yongbao spoke, everyone in the locker room was amused, and the oppressive atmosphere eased a lot.

Ye Kai shook his head, "Okay, let's go out to work. Also, don't talk too much, it's just a one-time evaluation, if we do it like this in the future, everyone will have a chance."

Ye Kai made sense, everyone nodded, and went to the workshop accompanied by the singing of Shanggong.

Today, Ye Kai took Ren Haoguang to get busy with cutting materials for the pipeline of a set of distillation equipment.I kept thinking about something else in my mind.It was never like this when he was working before.

It would be impossible to say that he was not affected by the outcome.But now Ye Kai, he himself can't tell what kind of mood he is in.Speaking of disappointment, he didn't seem to be there. The day he became the number one vote in the workshop, he knew it would be like this.It is said that he is finally relaxed, and he doesn't have to feel embarrassed because he has to set an example everywhere after being evaluated as an excellent employee, it seems that he is not.

He remembered Yin Congnan's conversation with him after reading the poem that night.From the poems, I talked about some differences in Eastern and Western cultures, and the differences in the way of expression between Eastern and Western people.Westerners are more direct, not only in expressing love, but also in other ways.They will give campaign speeches, they will directly express what they want, and for an oriental, this is too disrespectful.

Thinking of these words now, Ye Kai began to reflect on himself.Is it because I am afraid of feeling unseemly that I am afraid to admit that I really want to be evaluated.

No.Ye Kai quickly denied this.When he did everything, he never thought about these honors, and his pursuit was never in this.

"Secretary Ma." Yin Congnan knocked on the half-open door of the party secretary's office.Ma Guosheng, who was sitting in the office, raised his head, saw that it was him, and hurriedly called him in.

"Little Yin, sit down quickly." Ma Guosheng came out from behind the desk and greeted Yin Congnan to sit on the sofa. "What's the matter?"

Yin Congnan knew that he was abrupt, but he couldn't help coming after hearing the news of the results of the evaluation.

"Secretary Ma, I'm sorry, maybe in my capacity, I shouldn't be involved in these matters, but I still have something in my heart that I want to say."

This was the first time Secretary Ma had seen Yin Congnan who was so hesitant. This young man always spoke with confidence and reason. Why did he behave like this today.

"Xiao Yin, you can say whatever you want. We have worked together for so long and are still so careful. It seems alien."

"I want to ask about the appraisal."

Ma Guosheng laughed when he heard the appraisal, he really didn't expect that Yin Congnan cared so much about the appraisal, it seems that it is still difficult for people to escape the shackles of honor.

"Xiao Yin, don't worry, you have made such a great contribution to our factory. Although this evaluation cannot give you the title of our regular outstanding party member or outstanding employee, we have decided to give you a separate title. Rewards for honorary employees have been set up. The factory will not be ungrateful." After speaking, Ma Guosheng smiled with satisfaction.

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean to talk about my business."

Ma Guosheng's smile came back, and he looked at Yin Congnan puzzled.

In fact, Yin Congnan's coming so abruptly today has indeed violated some of his own standards of doing things, but if he didn't say these words, he would have violated his own heart even more. "Secretary Ma, is there no Ye Kai in the results of this year's evaluation?"

This time Ma Guosheng was stunned by the question.When Yin Congnan entered the office, he was looking down at the evaluation results in his hand, checking them one by one, and if there was no problem, he was about to arrange the work of the commendation conference.He began to recall, as if he did not see Ye Kai's name.

"Comrade Xiao Yin, what do you mean?"

Yin Congnan knew that Ye Kai's failure to be rated as an excellent employee was not anyone's responsibility, and it might just be the result of a misunderstanding and incomprehension.So facing Ma Guosheng, Yin Congnan was still very calm.

It's a pity that Ye Kai is a person who will never show off what he has done to others. If he wants to let the leaders see his efforts and achievements, Yin Congnan can only come forward.

"Secretary Ma, I don't know if you know Ye Kai, a worker."

Ma Guosheng smiled, "Although Ye Kai is an ordinary worker, he is well-known in our factory. It seems that Comrade Xiao Yin has a really good friendship with him."

Yin Congnan explained, "Please don't get me wrong, I didn't come here to ask him for honor because I have a good relationship with him."

Ma Guosheng was a little curious, and thought it would be good to spend some time listening to the overseas students' evaluation of the workers in his factory, "Comrade Xiao Yin, don't worry too much, just say what you have."

Yin Congnan's attitude was very correct. He didn't want Ma Guosheng to think that what he said next was due to personal affection.

"Ye Kai is indeed famous in the factory, but he has a lot of things that no one knows about except the people in the riveting workshop.

"He is not only the youngest third-level welder in our factory, but also the young riveter with the best skills in the riveting and welding workshop and the fastest reading of drawings. It was Ye Kai who took the initiative to propose a change when the aid project in Africa was running out of time. The layout of the workshop has achieved two parallel lines, which has improved production efficiency. When importing imported equipment, it was Ye Kai who fully supported me and went to other factories with me to inspect and help me formulate training materials suitable for workers to learn and understand. He is still in He made a small invention in the workshop and successfully applied for a patent. Now he is still learning English by himself. He is a very motivated, courageous and resourceful young worker.

"I may not know much about his past, but if it is this year's award, I think there must be Ye Kai."
