On the eve of the National Day in 1971, the factory added many production tasks to the workshop. The task of the model room was generally completed, but the sand casting section included the cupola and casting process, which had a serious shortage of labor. According to the relevant regulations at that time, the working class must be the master of the house and the spirit of industry learning from Daqing. If there were difficulties, they could not rely on foreign aid and find their own solutions. In order to resolve this conflict, the leader of the workshop also made a decision. We won't ask for help from the outside. We'll make adjustments within the workshop. All the young people in our model room will be transferred to the sand room as reinforcements to alleviate the temporary shortage of labor.
Since it was the workshop leader's decision, we didn't say anything else. We each found a set of work clothes and put them on. We immediately gathered and lined up. Our target was the sand room. We ran forward and soon arrived at the sand room. Together, they made up the sixth class. (Sand cleaning class) wore blue-black canvas gloves on his hands and a fire-proof and dust-proof hat with a wind eye on his head. He held a small hammer in his hand. With the dust all over the workshop, they began the intense work of cleaning the sand and casting.
In fact, we came to the casting workshop to reinforce the sand room. It was not just to clear the sand, but also like a commando team. They would do any job and arrive at once. In those years, wasn't there a common saying? It is called calling for it to come, to fight, to win.
During this period of time, almost all the young people in the workshop have gathered in the sand room. Many of us are cleaning the sand and cleaning the various casting parts that are cast every day. These casting parts were buried in high-temperature molding sand. Everyone. Standing in the sand and dust filled with the high temperature of the casting, several pairs of shoes on his feet had been burned. He used a sieve to sift out the casting from the hot sand and dust. For small casting parts, we will use shovels and hammers to clean the sand and soil on the casting parts. Then, we will transport them to a storage yard outside the workshop for natural cooling and aging treatment. The big casting pieces were tied up with steel wire ropes and hung in the air. After that, they were shaken and impacted by sledgehammers and air-compressed vibration guns. After the sand and soil on the large casting pieces were cleaned up, they were transported out of the workshop by the help of the senior brothers who drove the forks. They were piled up in the open-air yard outside the workshop according to categories for natural cooling and aging. All day long we were waving shovels and sledgehammers, and sledgehammers that never stopped. He fiddled with all kinds of wire ropes and was busy in the workshop all day long.
We worked from morning to afternoon, and often worked overtime at night. All day long, we were immersed in metal powder and other dusts. Under the illumination of the iodine-tungsten lamp in the workshop, everyone's clothes reflected light. Everyone's eyes were shining, and there was nothing clean on their bodies except dust. We often feel that our noses are dry and our nostrils are black. After working in the sand room and sweating, he was soon baked dry by the high temperature in the workshop. As soon as everyone took a break, they would quickly take a big teacup and drink water. He was so thirsty that he drank a big cup of tea. It was the kind of large tea vat that had a picture of a vast world with great potential. Drinking water once was about 0.6 kilograms.
At that time, there was no overtime pay. What we apprentices received every month was not called salary. It was an apprentice allowance. It was only 18.5 yuan per month. At that time, the food in the workshop was not bad. We ate and lived in the factory, the canteen, and the dormitory. However, in the workshop, we saw that all the leading cadres in the workshop could set an example. They took the lead in the workshop and consciously set an example. They worked hard day and night. We could only be unwilling to fall behind.
In fact, in those years, when the workshop needed to work overtime, there was no need to mobilize. As long as it was the call of the party branch, everyone would take the initiative to fight for it, afraid that the leader would not want to go. Those who did not go would have opinions about the leader, as if the party branch looked down on them, afraid that it would affect their political life.
Compared to the work we did in the countryside, the physical work in the sand ploughing section was not too tiring. The main reason was that we had mechanized equipment. There are two cranes running back and forth in the workshop. Many large-scale casting parts are lifted by the cranes. We then use tools to remove the sand and remove the high-temperature sand that sticks to the casting parts. The hot sand could cook the eggs in the lunch box.
Actually…The most unacceptable thing was the dust in the workshop. At that time, there were not many fans in the workshop, let alone air conditioning. To be honest, he was not afraid of being laughed at. We really don't know what air conditioning is. He only mentioned something about air conditioning in the document. No one knew what the air conditioner looked like.
At that time, we were all eating in the canteen. When it was time to eat, everyone took their lunch boxes and ran to the food stall in the canteen. No matter how big the cadre or the workers were, everyone was at the canteen's food stall, holding a meal ticket to get their own food and vegetables. Even if the higher-ups came to the factory to do business, they would find their own bowls and chopsticks at noon and go to the canteen to get food. This truly reflected the close relationship between the officials and the masses.
There was also the night shift, which was a common thing. After the night shift, we quickly found a place, fetched a few buckets of water, washed our bodies with cold water, and returned to the dormitory. She quickly seized the time to sleep. Some of them were hungry, and the night shift meals had been sold. It was really uncomfortable to lie in bed with an empty stomach. As a last resort, a few young people quietly slipped into the canteen and secretly took a few steamed buns back to the dormitory. They slowly roasted them. In our dreams, we smelled the fragrance of baked buns. The standard of this steamed bun was indeed not very good, but the fragrance of this roasted steamed bun was irresistible. As a result, everyone got up from their beds one after another. Everyone gathered together and fought over the roasted steamed buns to eat. The lively atmosphere was definitely different.
At that time, the party branch in the workshop was indeed playing the role of a battle fortress. Many young people applied to the party branch to join the party, asking the party branch to test themselves in the assault activities and give them the most important and complicated tasks. They all expressed their firm response to the call of the party branch to fight, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, not afraid of any difficulties and hardships. He was determined to complete all the tasks assigned by his superiors.
After more than ten days of hard work, our casting workshop finally exceeded the quota by 30%, completing the scheduled task given to the workshop by the factory. He was praised by the factory leaders. Especially for the comrades who went to the model room to reinforce, the leader especially emphasized and praised the 20 apprentices in the model section. We were very happy that we could finally return to the model room.
One day after the National Day, I was on my way to the model room. Before I reached the door of the model room, I heard a female apprentice in our model room from afar. I don't know what she was arguing fiercely with the deputy secretary of the Party branch in the workshop."You said that if my performance is worse than others, I might not be praised in the newspapers?”The deputy secretary smiled." Being praised and criticized are relative. There are only benefits and no harm in being stricter with you.”With that, he turned around and left the workshop.
The deputy secretary walked out of the iron gate of the model room and turned in the direction of the sand room. He was already far away. I then walked into the model room and carefully asked the female apprentice,"You were praised in the newspaper. How come we didn't hear anything about such a big thing?”The female apprentice smiled and said,"I'm not the only one who was praised in the newspaper. You were also praised." All the apprentices in our model room have been praised in the newspapers.”
She really confused me. I stood there in confusion and looked at the female apprentice."This is impossible. We don't know anything.”
The female apprentice laughed even more. She bent down and took out a copy of the Metals News from her workbench and handed it to me. On the front page of the newspaper, I saw this article. I can't remember the topic.
The main idea of this article was to introduce all the young workers in the model section of the casting workshop of the Machinery Repair Plant of the Fifth Metalworking Construction Company of the Ministry of Metalworking Industry. In order to respond to the call of the workshop party branch, they broke the boundaries of their work and supported the sand casting section to complete the production tasks of the workshop. He called on all the young workers in the smelting system to break the boundaries of their work and advocate multi-tasking.
In the article, the focus was on praising the young workers 'spirit of not being afraid of hardship and fighting continuously. He also mentioned that young workers should do one thing and love one thing. They should show that they are good at many things. For the sake of the motherland's social construction, they should work hard and not be afraid of difficulties. They should strengthen the sense of responsibility of the working class as masters of the country and be the masters of the enterprise.
At this point, I finally understood." Metalwork News " was a newspaper of the Ministry of Metalwork Industry. All the young workers in the model section of Wuye Machine Repair Factory, then: First of all, I was one of the young workers in the model workshop. Secondly, I was the only one who went to the sand casting workshop to provide support. Of course, I was also praised in the newspaper. Here, I was also praised by the newspaper.
When I was still immersed in the joy of being praised in the newspaper, a party branch member in our workshop suddenly came to the model room, walked straight to me, patted my shoulder, and found me from the model room. I inexplicably followed him to a corner outside the workshop to avoid the wind and sat down on an old concrete pre-cast beam.
