Here comes my junior brother again
One day in late April, Foreman Yang went to the workshop office for a meeting. When he came back, he brought back 10 young men and women. As soon as they entered the model room, they immediately caused a sensation.
A few of them had met at the orchid field in the factory. A group of male apprentices who came first rushed up to us. Master Yang, the chief of the section, was shocked. He thought we were going to fight.
When he saw that we were together and were very close to each other, he smiled and interfered with us."Guys, stop joking around. Everyone, calm down and come over for a meeting immediately.”。The whole section sat together and held a short meeting for the new comrades. The section chief and the team leader expressed a warm welcome to the new comrades on behalf of all the comrades. Then, they assigned this batch of young people to the masters of the team.
This time, I gave my master another disciple. However, my master is visiting his relatives in Shanghai and hasn't returned yet. This new disciple is working with me for the time being.
That afternoon, when everyone was busy with work, my mother came to our model room to find the section chief, Master Yang, to do something. As soon as she entered the workshop door, she said," Master Yang, there are so many apprentices in your workshop. There were so many young people. It was quite lively.”
There was a soldier in the workshop who was transferred to civilian work. At this time, he suddenly added jokingly,"Now, not only have we increased the number of disciples, but we have also increased the number of masters. Didn't you see that even Shi Jianhua brought his disciple along?”
Suddenly, bursts of hearty laughter broke out in the workshop. This laughter made me very embarrassed and lowered my head. No one dared to look at me. I just kept my head down and busied myself with my work.
After March of this year, I heard many people in the factory say that behind our 40 new workers, there are still two or three hundred people who will be assigned to our factory, which is our model section. There were still more than ten people. He just wasn't sure. What kind of people would come?
Our factory was going to increase by two to three hundred people at once, and there were not enough dormitories to live in. In order to solve the problem of accommodation for the new workers, the factory leader decided:
1. Set up a steel structure around the basketball court in the factory, a bamboo mat wall, and a temporary house with an asbestos-tile roof.
2. Before the temporary housing is built, the new workers who will arrive will first go to Shiling Town near Chengdu to participate in drought relief. It can also be considered as labor training before entering the factory.
3. After the new workers enter the factory, they will temporarily live in temporary housing. After half of the entire Third Company and Second Company have moved to Tiaodeng River, the factory will reorganize the dormitories internally.
4. According to the next development plan of the factory, the entire casting workshop in the factory will be moved to the Tiaodeng River in the suburbs of Chengdu and a new workshop will be built. The entire Third Company would have to move to Tiaodeng River. Half of the workers and equipment in the machine shop had to be moved to Tiaodeng River to build a new workshop.
This group of new workers belonged to the second batch of workers. They were supposed to go to the machinery factory after a month of training in the Wuye Construction Company's new worker training class in Huayang Town of Shuangliu. Because the temporary housing of the workshop had not been set up yet. He had no choice but to let them go to Shiling Town near Chengdu to participate in the drought relief, which increased their labor training for nearly two months. They didn't arrive at the Wuye Machine Repair Factory in Tianhui Town until May Day.
This junior brother of mine is from Anshan in the northeast. His name is Zhang Youjun. When we met, we felt that we hit it off very well and quickly became friends. He took the initiative to cooperate with me and called me Master, Master, and made me quite embarrassed.
I told him again and again," You must not call me Master. I am also a disciple. Our Master is the same person. Our Master is still in Shanghai. You can just call me by my name or call me Stone like those people.”
Therefore, he started to change his words and called him Senior Brother instead. I wanted to humbly decline.
An old master behind me added,"If he calls you senior brother, just agree. You came a month earlier than him and are slightly older than him. You should still be qualified to be a senior brother.”
From then on, I became his senior brother. Of course, he used my tools when he worked. Under Master Yang's guidance, I used my spare time at night to install two woodworking saws for him in the model room.
During the day, Junior Brother Zhang and I worked together. After dinner, there was nothing else to do. We went to the model room to repair tools, sharpen planer knives, and sharpen saw blades. We continued to complete the work that we didn't finish during the day. Or reading a book.
Sunday. I went to the Xinhua Bookstore on South Road of the People in the city center and bought a copy of Mechanical Drawing and a Wooden Model Manual. He brought it to the factory and placed it on the workbench. Zhang Youjun and I treated these two books as treasures. At night, he went to the model room in the workshop. He studied the two books hungrily. Especially that Mechanical Drawing book, which was of great help to us. It was based on the blueprints we came into contact with in our work and combined with the theoretical knowledge in the book. The combination of learning and application. It is indeed very helpful for us to improve our ability to read mechanical maps.
"When the other senior brothers saw these two books, they all wanted to rush to read them. We were also reluctant to lend them to others because we were afraid that others would lose them. I told them the address where I bought these two books. Soon after, I saw them reading the same two books. At that time, it was the period of the Ten Year Catastrophe, and such books were not easy to buy.
At that time, we apprentices seemed to be competing with each other. We worked nervously in the workshop during the day. He worked hard to learn and study techniques from the masters. At night, the lights in the dormitory were too dim, and it was very far from the city. There was no place to pass time around the factory, not even a teahouse. Everyone had nowhere to go in their spare time. We might as well do this and that in the model room, afraid that we will be outdone by others. Everyone wanted to have a good start at the beginning of their apprenticeship and strive for a good performance. He could grow faster in terms of technology and make rapid progress. It was so that the leaders of the workshop and factory would look up to him. He hoped that he could become the backbone of production as soon as possible.
In the evening, the leaders of the factory often come to our model room to take a look. He cared about everyone and chatted with us new workers. Master Yang often came to the model room after dinner. Doing some administrative work. For example, he had to make a material plan, fill in the daily attendance sheet, study and formulate a distribution plan, and so on.
After the middle of April, the section chief, Master Yang, distributed the blueprints one morning. Before assigning the tasks, he suddenly announced, From today onwards, Shi Jianhua was responsible for the attendance of the model team.
After I became the attendance officer of the shift. Every day, he had to draw circles and crosses on the work attendance sheet. After filling it out, he hung it on the wall for public supervision. Attendance staff was a thankless job, and no one was willing to do it. Master Yang decided to ask me to do it, but I wasn't mentally prepared. I wanted to say that I wasn't willing to do it, but I was afraid that Master Yang would be angry and offend him. He could only bite the bullet and accept it. The personnel in the workshop comes to me once a month to collect the forms. When Zhang Youjun saw that I was too busy, she helped me clean up the workbench and cleaned the environment around it.
Thinking back to that time, we all lived in the workers 'dormitory in the factory. We didn't need to look at our watches to go to work every day. As long as it was time to go to work, the radio station in the factory would play the recording of the charging horn. Every time the charging horn sounded in the factory, it meant that we were going to work. A few hours later, when they could hear the music of " The Party's Gratitude Is Greatest Than the Heavens and Earth," it meant that they had gotten off work. In the morning, when he heard the music of " The East is Red," it was time to wake up. During that period of time, her life was quite fulfilling.
Even though the salary wasn't high at that time, we apprentices only received 18.50 yuan a month. It was called the apprentice allowance. By the end of the month, he would still have five or six yuan left in his pocket. Everyone's food standards were basically the same. We're quite satisfied with our lives.
Our dormitory was next to the workshop office. After lunch, we went back to the dormitory and lay on the big bunk. We closed our eyes and took a nap. It was quite comfortable. She was also energetic when she went to work in the afternoon. However, there were also times when he really fell asleep after taking a nap. He did not hear the bugle call for work. The leaders in the workshop occasionally came over and saw that we were still taking an afternoon nap. They knocked on the door and woke us up. Everyone was suddenly awakened. They lifted their blankets and jumped up from the big bunk. They shouted," Oh no, I didn't hear the charge. Hurry up, hurry up."”Laughing loudly, they hurriedly grabbed their coats and rushed to their respective work stations.
At the turn of the spring and summer, the party organizations began to resume their organizational life across the country. Joining the Youth League was something that I had been looking forward to when I was in junior high school. After May Day in 1971, my junior brother and I submitted an application to the Youth League branch in the workshop at the same time. Soon, the Youth League branch in the workshop organized the young people who applied to join the League and set up a League Constitution Study Group. My junior brother and I happened to be in the same group to study. The two of us helped each other and did every task seriously in the team. He must not lose face for the team. He couldn't bring shame to his master.
The International Labor Day of 1971 was approaching. Not long after we started work, a travel-worn middle-aged man walked into our model room. He nodded at me when he saw me and walked straight to Master Yang. He greeted him with a strong Shanghai accent.
