Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Yuan Xia quickly found the crux of the problem, and as Yuan Xia expected, the gear of the machine base was broken.

Usually the problem of the machine base is either the gear or the bearing, but it is very rare for the gear to break, so it is no wonder that the machine cannot run.

This time, the bearings were severely worn, resulting in uneven loads when the rolling mill was working, which aggravated the wear of the gears and caused the gears to break.

Yuan Xia said: "Master Huang, the gear is broken, and the gear and bearing need to be replaced. Come and help me."

When Lao Huang heard this, he was a little surprised. He thought that this freshly graduated college student might be a nerd, but he didn't expect to find out the crux of the problem after a search.

Changing gears and bearings is a hassle. Yuan Xia does not know how long he will be alone. Of course, Lao Huang will not delay his work to test him. He calls Song Xiaoliang, and the three of them will replace the gears and bearings together, and lubricate them well. Oil.

By the way, Yuan Xia checked the other gears and bearings, and some of them were severely worn out. He asked Lao Huang if he wanted to change them, and Lao Huang said, "You might as well change them, so as not to break them again in two days."

So the three of them replaced another bearing with severe wear and lubricated it, and then restarted the rolling mill, and it was able to operate normally.

Song Xiaoliang gave Yuan Xia a thumbs up: "Brother Yuan, you are really amazing!"

Yuan Xia smiled and said: "Actually, the faults of the machine are usually those parts that are stressed. If the force is large and the wear is serious, it is easy to be damaged."

Song Xiaoliang nodded hurriedly.

Lao Huang glanced at Yuan Xia and said nothing.

Qiao Mingsheng soon knew Yuan Xia's performance and knew that he was a useful talent.

The other colleagues in the department also knew about Yuan Xia's ability. The students of key universities are not only a college student, they have real skills. The eyes that look at him are obviously more respectful.

Yuan Xia also gained a small follower, that is Song Xiaoliang.

Song Xiaoliang is Lao Huang's apprentice. Lao Huang is very capable and has high demands on his apprentices, but his temper is not very good.

Now that he has Yuan Xia, he is knowledgeable, capable, and has a good temper. He is about the same age as him, and he will not look down on him. He will explain patiently every time. Of course, Song Xiaoliang is willing to get close to Yuan Xia.

Yuan Xia saw that Song Xiaoliang had a good temper, he was smiling all day long, and he was eager to learn, as long as he came to ask, he would teach him.

On the other hand, Yang Sheng who lives next door to Yuan Xia, although the two are in the same department and are neighbors, their relationship is just a light nodding acquaintance.

Yang Sheng held his breath. He thought that when he just graduated, his level was not as good as that of Yuan Xia, but now he has been working for two years and has rich experience. His ability is definitely not comparable to that of Yuan Xia who just graduated, but His salary is lower than that of Yuan Xia who is still in the internship period, which makes him a little resentful.

The state has clear regulations on the wage classification of skilled workers. The internship period for technical secondary school students is 37 yuan, and 42.5 yuan after becoming a full-time student, while the internship period for college students is 48.5 yuan, and 55 yuan after becoming a regular worker.

They are all admitted based on their ability, so why are they divided into grades? Technical secondary schools are more difficult to pass than high schools. If you go to high school by yourself, you may not be able to pass the university entrance exam.Therefore, his attitude towards Yuan Xia even harbored some slight hostility.

But Yuan Xia didn't take him seriously at all. The Red Star Iron and Steel Plant was just a passing scene for him. He would naturally not refuse those who were willing to make friends. Will leave, and after a few years, the other party's name and appearance are forgotten.

Although Song Xiaoliang entered the factory half a month earlier than Yuan Xia, he knew a lot about the situation in the factory. The reason why he was able to enter the factory and the equipment department was because his second uncle was a small leader in the city .

This kid doesn't have much wealth, he quickly told Yuan Xia about himself.Only then did Yuan Xia realize that he was the so-called relationship householder.

However, Song Xiaoliang is also rarely sober: "My second uncle is my second uncle, and I am me. He gave me this convenience, so I can't waste this opportunity. I have to learn some real skills. He can't be a leader for a lifetime. No? I can't rely on relationships for the rest of my life, but I can rely on real skills for the rest of my life."

This is also the reason why Yuan Xia is willing to teach this kid, although he is a yamen, but he is not arrogant and domineering, nor does he cheat, he is a down-to-earth smart person.

Song Xiaoliang also told Yuan Xia some gossip about some factories. The factory manager was airborne. During the campaign, the original old factory manager was suspended for investigation because of his background.

Liang Hongchang, the deputy director of the factory, was acting as the director of the factory for several years, but his superiors did not give him a full-time job.Because he was promoted by the old factory manager, although his roots are young and his abilities are strong, this is his blemish.

The 79-year-old factory director was finally rehabilitated. He thought that Liang Hongchang would be promoted to the factory director in a justifiable way. In the end, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway. Tang Guofeng fell from the sky and became the factory director. Liang Hongchang returned to his deputy factory director and was only in charge of production. .It is said that Tang Guofeng also has a background.

Liang Hongchang has been in management for many years, and he is familiar with the situation of the factory, and the employees also trust him.

After Tang Guofeng came, in order to establish prestige, he carried out relatively large personnel transfers, transferring away those who could be transferred from Liang Hongchang's cronies, and changing jobs if he could change jobs.At the same time, in order to win people's hearts, they increased benefits, built dormitory buildings, and distributed bonuses and items to employees.

Song Xiaoliang lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the factory manager spent all the money that the deputy factory manager had saved for several years to replace the equipment, which made the deputy factory manager mad. But the employees in the factory are very happy, because everyone Got the money."

Yuan Xia couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. No wonder the Red Star Factory is so uncompetitive. The source is here.

Song Xiaoliang said: "It is also the intention of the factory manager that our department is arranged to work here. In the past, our office was not here, but in the building in front. It was not so hot. But the factory manager said that our equipment department is a front-line employee. You should work here in the workshop, and you can find someone as soon as something goes wrong. Because the deputy factory manager is from the equipment department, he was targeted."

What can Yuan Xia say, she can only admit that she is unlucky, why can she meet people like Xiang Fugui everywhere.

There is not much work in the equipment department, and it is only busy when the machinery breaks down and the equipment is regularly repaired and maintained. During working hours, as long as the equipment is not broken down, everyone sits and chats with tea.

In the office, only the ceiling fan is blowing. The factory floor is not high, there is only one floor, and the sun is shining directly. What a treat.

Yuan Xia suddenly realized that he came to the equipment department because of the intention of the deputy factory director, and he hadn't obtained the approval of the factory director. Will there be another twists and turns?

Yuan Xia expected that he would have more free time at work, so he had already thought of countermeasures. He brought several books and decided to read them when he was free, so he brought the books to the office the next day.

After reading only two pages, Zhang Cuilan from the personnel department came over: "Xiaoyuan, where are you reading? The factory manager is looking for you, come with me to the office."

He had no choice but to put down the book: "Okay, Miss Zhang."

Song Xiaoliang who was opposite him winked at him, Yuan Xia just smiled.

After leaving the office, Yuan Xia asked, "Sister Zhang, what can the factory director want from me?"

Zhang Cuilan said with a smile: "It should be a good thing, you will know in a while."

Yuan Xia is full of suspicions, she doesn't know Tang Guofeng at all, what good thing will happen to her?

When he entered the factory director's office, he saw Liang Hongchang, the deputy factory director, and Qian Youfu, the head of the personnel department. A bald, middle-aged man in his forties was sitting behind his desk. He must be Tang Guofeng. An unknown middle-aged woman.

"Director, I called Yuan Xia here." Zhang Cuilan said hello and left.

Tang Guofeng was smoking a cigarette, and the crazily spinning ceiling fan above his head couldn't dispel the thick smoke in the house. Yuan Xia took a deep breath: "Director, are you looking for me?"

Tang Guofeng knocked the cigarette on the ashtray, raised his eyelids and looked up and down: "You are Yuan Xia?"

"It's me." Yuan Xia said.

Tang Guofeng said: "I was not in the factory yesterday, and I didn't say hello to the personnel department in advance, so Lao Liang arranged for you to go to the equipment department. There are enough people in the equipment department, and the publicity department is short of people, so I have been waiting for you." A college student with good culture and calligraphy is here. You can transfer from the equipment department to the propaganda department."

Before Yuan Xia could speak, Liang Hongchang yelled in dissatisfaction: "Director, why are there too many calls in the equipment department? Including Xiaoyuan, there are only seven people in total, and one of them is just an apprentice who doesn't know anything. The propaganda department There are already five people, and there are as many people needed to carry out cultural propaganda as there are people in the equipment department?"

The middle-aged woman must be the head of the Propaganda Section. She said: "Comrade Liang Hongchang, what do you mean that cultural propaganda needs as many people as the Equipment Section? Isn't cultural propaganda important? Without cultural propaganda, the original source cannot be traced. Go in the opposite direction."

Liang Hongchang interrupted her impatiently: "Okay, WG is over! Don't make a show with me. If you think cultural promotion is important, then go to cultural promotion instead of production! Isn't that how it was done before? ? You call it perverse, putting the cart before the horse!"

The middle-aged woman blushed angrily at what he said: "Liang Hongchang, you, you..."

She talked to you for a long time and didn't say anything.

Tang Guofeng interrupted them: "Okay, don't say a few words! It's not that production is not important, I mean that the equipment department is not that busy. I think they usually sit in the office drinking tea, reading newspapers and chatting. So many people."

Liang Hongchang sneered: "Don't you want people in the equipment department to maintain the machines all the time?"

Tang Guofeng was at a loss for words for a while, which leader would not want the people in the equipment department to be idle, so that the machine would never fail: "That doesn't need so many people."

Liang Hongchang said: "Old Huang's old masters are all in their 50s and [-]s, and they will retire in a few years. They don't train new people now, and they will train them after they retire? Can you repair equipment, the factory manager?"

Tang Guofeng faltered: "There will be newcomers coming next year, and it won't be too late to go again."

Liang Hongchang said: "Can you guarantee that next year you will be able to recruit a student majoring in mechanical engineering from the University? Your publicity department needs people, where can't you recruit them? Students from technical secondary schools and junior colleges can do anything, and some students want to grab a professional counterpart from me. college students, are you hoping that the Red Star Factory will get worse and worse? If the production can’t be done well, I see what you are still promoting, and where do the employees’ benefits come from?”

The room suddenly fell silent, and Qian Youfu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked Yuan Xia: "Xiao Yuan, do you want to stay in the equipment department, or go to the promotion department? The office of the promotion department is in this building."

The implication is that the working environment of the Propaganda Department is much more comfortable than that of the Equipment Department, and it is far less dirty and tiring than that of the Equipment Department.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three people all stared at Yuan Xia, a fool would know how to choose.

Yuan Xia said: "I'm a mechanical engineering student. I can't write articles, and I can't write big characters well, so the publicity department is not suitable for me. I still want to work in the equipment department."

Hearing this, Liang Hongchang's eyes immediately showed approval. These insects have always been greedy for enjoyment. Who would be like them if they have ambitions? Just stop thinking about it. Let's go, Xiao Yuan, let's go back to work!"

Yuan Xia nodded towards Tang Guofeng: "I'm going back to work, the factory manager."

Liang Hongchang raised his hand, put it on Yuan Xia's shoulder, and led him away.

After leaving the office door, he patted Yuan Xia on the shoulder vigorously: "Young man has a good vision and is willing to endure hardships. I heard from Old Qiao that you are very capable, work hard, and have a bright future in the future."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, Deputy Director."

Liang Hongchang said: "You're welcome. Only those worthless people will think about doing easy jobs with few things as soon as they work. They don't know that is a real waste of life. In the end, they have learned nothing except flattering. They think I live comfortably, but all we see are their bent waists and bent knees. Standing on the money earned by their skills is called awesome."

Yuan Xia smiled and didn't answer, but some people take it as their skill to flirt, and get used to bending over and kneeling, but think that the standing person is a fool.

Liang Hongchang said again: "Xiao Yuan, you just have to work hard, and you don't have to worry about the evaluation of job titles. He Tang Guofeng dare not make things difficult for you, but I am here."

Yuan Xia was relieved: "Thank you, Deputy Director."

He came to work, firstly, for the purpose of transition, and secondly, for professional title evaluation, because starting a technology company requires not only capital, but also professional title, otherwise the license will not be granted.

Although Yu Xingyi has already obtained the title of engineer, the more titles the better.

When you arrive in a new place, there must be a lot of new things. Yuan Xia wrote a letter to Yu Xingyi yesterday and sent it away, and today he wrote another letter about what happened today.This factory is surprisingly similar to the original bearing factory.

It is regular to write letters with family and friends, but not with Yu Xingyi. He writes whenever he has something to say, so he probably won't find it annoying.

Resting on Sunday, Yuan Xia went to the Water Conservancy Bureau to see if Ma Jianshe had returned.

Coincidentally, Ma Jianshe came back yesterday, and was extremely excited to see Yuan Xia. In Jianning, who has no relatives, it must be such a happy thing to have a friend who grew up with him since he was a child.

Yuan Xia heard him talk about his work situation, although he didn't say he was handy, at least he could handle it. There was a lot to learn, and his colleagues were willing to teach him.

Ma Jianshe is extroverted, and he is not a sneaky person. It should not be difficult to get along with his colleagues. Yuan Xia is not worried about his situation at all.

In the afternoon, Ma Jianshe followed Yuan Xia to the Red Star Factory. He was very disappointed when he saw the condition of the Red Star Factory. The location was so remote that it didn't look like a city anymore. It looked a bit like their agricultural machinery factory.

There is also Yuan Xia's office, it is hot to death at first glance, Yuan Xia is so good, she shouldn't live in such a poor place.

But there are also things that Ma Jianshe envies, Yuanxia's single dormitory and the factory's swimming pool.

Ma Jianshe's dormitory is for two people. Unlike the Red Star Factory, the Water Conservancy Bureau occupies a small area and there is no room for expansion. The newcomer can only share the room with other colleagues.

Ma Jianshe sighed: "I'm worried, I won't be able to get a single room when I get married, and our unit has no place to build a new house."

Yuan Xia looked at him: "I never heard that you have a partner."

Ma Jianshe blushed: "I mean in the future, I don't have a date now, but it doesn't mean I won't have a date in the future. I can't change my unit."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Think optimistic, maybe your unit will be relocated."

Ma Jianshe nodded: "That's right, there is always hope."

After a while, Ma Jianshe said: "I see that your colleagues are mainly men. Are there very few women?"

Yuan Xia said: "Not many. The workshop is full of menial work, and there are very few female workers who can do it. Female workers are mainly in the office, doing finance, personnel, logistics and so on."

Ma Jianshe pouted: "Isn't it difficult to find a partner?"

Yuan Xia said, "I didn't expect to find it in the factory either."

Ma Jianshe looked up at the sky: "To be honest, I didn't understand a little bit. It's fine if I can't find a partner in school, but why can't you find a partner in school?"

Yuan Xia said: "I didn't want to look for it. I couldn't find a place after graduation, and it didn't end up being divided between labor and Yan."

Ma Jianshe nodded: "That's true. But now that the job has been settled, I can find it."

Yuan Xia smiled: "Let's talk about it. If there is a suitable one, I will pay attention to you."

Ma Jianshe looked at him with a surprised expression: "It's not a mistake, you still introduce someone for me?"

Yuan Xia said with a smile: "No? Don't you believe my eyesight?"

Ma Jianshe shook his head: "That's not what it means, you should take care of yourself first."

"I won't look for it here." Yuan Xia said.

"Why?" Ma Jianshe widened his eyes.

"You will know in the future." Yuan Xia said.

Ma Jianshe asked again, but Yuan Xia didn't say anything, he didn't want to let Ma Jianshe know too early that he wanted to leave when he just started working.

Ma Jianshe had dinner here in Yuanxia before going back.

After seeing off Ma Jianshe, Yuan Xia went to the reception room to have a look, and sure enough, he had his own letter, which was Yu Xingyi's reply, exactly six days after he sent the letter.

The mail from the province can arrive in three days, and it takes exactly six days to come and go. That is to say, as soon as Yu Xing received his letter, he wrote a reply on the same day, and sent it early the next morning.

Yu Xingyi's letter was very long, and he wrote everything about everything, including study, life, and a large section expressing his discomfort with Yuan Xia's departure.

Seeing Yuan Xia smiling all over his face, he couldn't stop feeling sad, how could he get used to it, but they will meet again soon, so don't get bored of being together all the time.

In the first month, Yuan Xia did not return to Yuecheng. He came by accident. The high temperature vacation in the factory was released in July. He missed it. He only went back to Suyang on the weekend and took the train back on Saturday night. , Come back by train the next afternoon, go back to see grandpa and younger siblings.

One day in late August, Yuan Xia was explaining a mechanics problem to Song Xiaoliang in his office when he suddenly heard a colleague say, "Xiao Yuan, someone is looking for you."

Yuan Xia looked up and was overjoyed: "OK one?!" He quickly put down his pen, jumped up and ran towards the door, almost bringing the chair down.

As soon as Yu Xing walked in, he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's really hot here."

Yuan Xia pushed him to go outside: "Sit outside under the big tree, it's hot here."

Yu Xing glanced at him sideways: "Didn't you say that your working environment is in line with international standards? There is also a stereo symphony."

Yuan Xia laughed: "That's right, it's in line with Thailand. The Thai sauna is roasted at high temperature, which makes people sweat and makes the whole body feel comfortable. Did you hear a symphony?"

Hearing the roar of the machine, Yu Xingyi shook his head helplessly, and looked at Yuan Xia who had lost a lot of weight: "Why does this Thai sauna still have a slimming effect?"

Yuan Xia chuckled: "What evaporates is all water, which means I'm leaner now, look, it's all muscles." He showed Yu Xingyi the muscles on his arms.

Yu Xing patted his arm, his face full of distress, and he didn't know what to say.

They ran to the flower bed outside the office and sat down. A large, lush camphor tree just above them just brought them coolness, which was indeed much cooler than in the office.

As soon as he sat down, Yuan Xia ran into the office again, and took out the enamel jar he drank from: "Go ahead, drink water."

Yu Xingyi looked at the enamel jar that was bigger than his head, and laughed out loud: "Why is there such a big enamel jar?"

Yuan Xia chuckled: "Amazing, isn't it? I processed it myself, and then took it to the enamel factory next door to apply the enamel. Many people in our factory want it, and now the enamel factory plans to produce a batch of large-scale enamel cylinders. "

Yu Xing picked up the cup and took a sip of water, heaved a sigh of relief: "It's really convenient to drink water this summer."

"Yeah, I'm too lazy to fetch water all the time, it's enough to add water once a morning." Yuan Xia said, "Did you set off early in the morning? Have you had breakfast yet?"

Yu Xingyi said: "Eat, it's not so hot to go out early."

Yuan Xia grabbed Yu Xingyi's wrist and looked at the time: "We'll be off work in ten minutes, and we'll go to our cafeteria for dinner later."

Yu Xingyi said, "Where's your watch? Why don't you wear it?" Yuan Xia celebrated his birthday this year, and just in time for his graduation, Yu Xingyi gave him a watch, saying it was useful for him to work.

Yuan Xia took it, but never wore it.

Yuan Xia chuckled: "I'm so poor, how can I wear a watch?"

He has never worn a watch, and only uses the alarm clock to tell the time, why?It doesn't match his status. There are so many younger brothers and sisters in the family, all waiting bitterly for him to raise them. How can they have spare money to buy such a luxury as watches.

Yu Xing laughed: "Are you always planning to pretend to be poor?"

"At least you need to pretend here. You don't know. I told people that I had to support my grandfather and four younger siblings. Those bored elder sisters and aunts didn't give me a date. Song Xiaoliang was only 18 years old, and someone had already given him Zhang Luo is on a blind date. It's too scary, as if the meaning of life is not only to make money and eat, but also to get married and have children." Yuan Xia spread her hands helplessly.

Yu Xing smiled: "Then what is the meaning of life?" He was a little curious about Song Xiaoliang, because Yuan Xia also mentioned it in the letter.

Yuan Xia said: "Anyway, it's not just these, there should be higher pursuits, such as the cause of communism!"

Yu Xing smiled and patted him on the shoulder without commenting.

The two sat for a while, Yuan Xia said: "It's time to eat, I'll put the cup back."

Yu Xing followed him to the office, but was stopped by Yuan Xia: "Don't go, it's like a steamer, you stay outside."

Yu Xingyi watched Yuan Xia disappear into the office, and said to himself, he was a little hesitant when he told Yuan Xia that he would resign and work on his own. The working environment was obviously hot in summer and cold in winter, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving.
