The next morning, Xiao Baoguo got up and stretched his body. He made some breakfast and prepared to go to work.
When he passed by the courtyard, he saw He Yushui coming out of the room.
Just as Xiao Baoguo was about to greet him, He Yushui turned around and ran into the room.
What was wrong with this girl's brain?
Xiao Baoguo cursed in his heart and then walked out of the courtyard house.
"Good morning, Gong Xiao!"
"Xiao Gong, you're early today."
As soon as he reached the entrance of the rolling mill, the workers of the various workshops who were also working greeted him.
Xiao Baoguo looked up at the gate of the factory.
At this moment, there were a few people hanging up slogans,'Hard work, self-reliance'.
"Xiao Gong, help me check if it's straight.”
Xiao Baoguo walked to the middle of the gate and said,""A little to my left. Good, this position is just right.”
After saying that, Xiao Baoguo gave the man a thumbs-up and walked toward the office.
Just as he reached the door, he saw Deputy Factory Manager Li's secretary running towards him.
"Xiao Gong, I finally found you. Deputy Director Li is looking for you.”
"Oh, I'll go after I put down my things.”
Xiao Baoguo pushed open the office door and walked in.
Xiao Baoguo was still the first to arrive at the office. As usual, he lit the stove and made himself a cup of tea to warm himself up.
When his body was warm, Xiao Baoguo set off for Deputy Director Li's office.
Dong dong--
"Come in."
"Master Xiao, you're here. Sit down."
Xiao Baoguo pushed open the door and walked into the office. Deputy Factory Manager Li greeted him warmly.
At the same time, she got up and poured him a glass of water. She placed it on the coffee table in front of Xiao Baoguo and said,"Master Xiao has been suffering recently. Come and drink some water.”
"Manager, may I know why you called me here?”
"I invited Master Xiao here mainly to ask you if the machine tools in the workshops under me can be modified first.”
Xiao Baoguo took a sip of hot water and looked at Deputy Factory Manager Li."" This isn't easy. We've already planned out the modification. We'll do it according to the order of the workshops, but now we're suddenly skipping a few workshops…"
Xiao Baoguo looked at him with a troubled expression, then lowered his head and continued to drink the water in his cup.
Seeing this, Deputy Factory Manager Li immediately said,"Master Xiao, if you feel that it's difficult, then forget it. I'm just asking. It doesn't matter if you change it sooner or later.”
As soon as the other party finished speaking, he slapped his forehead and immediately continued,"You see, I forgot the most important thing. Master Xiao, wait a moment.”
Deputy Factory Manager Li stood up and walked to his desk. He took out something from the drawer and brought it to Xiao Baoguo.
"I've already reported your recent situation to the higher-ups. The higher-ups were very happy when they found out and even specially praised you, Master Xiao.”
"Later, I used this opportunity to fight for you. The higher-ups gave me a watch ticket as a reward.”
Looking at the watch ticket in front of him, Xiao Baoguo reached out to take it and put it in his pocket. He didn't think it was too much.
Xiao Baoguo put away his watch ticket and stood up."How about this? After I finish modifying this workshop, I'll go to your workshop first.”
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll have to trouble Master Xiao then.”
When Xiao Baoguo returned to his office, he saw that the two masters had already arrived.
Xiao Baoguo greeted the two of them, picked up his toolbox, and walked toward the workshop.
Even if he had complete control over his own time after work, he still had to do what he had to do.
……
In the courtyard house, not long after Qin Huairu left for work, the stick sneaked out of the house.
This time, he didn't bring Little Dang with him. Instead, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative alone.
"Uncle Wang, take a 500 chime.”
"Oh, when did Qin Huairu become so generous?”
The salesperson did not forget to tease him as she took the money.
They were all neighbors, so they had some understanding of Qin Huairu's family, at least on the surface.
However, it was already the end of the year, so the salesperson didn't think too much about it. She reached out and took out a string of firecrackers and placed them on the counter. She didn't forget to remind the stick,"Take it back and put it away. Remember to stay away from the fire.”
"Got it, Uncle Wang."
The stick picked up the firecracker and immediately ran out. He replied to the other party and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After running out of the supply and marketing cooperative, the stick didn't return to the courtyard house. Instead, he ran to the east of the city.
After modifying another machine tool, Xiao Baoguo finished modifying the entire workshop. He took a few sips of tea from the worker beside him and began to pack his tools.
"Xiao Gong, my master asked me to tell you that he has something to tell you.”
The person who came was Yi Zhonghai's disciple. Usually, he would follow him around.
Hearing that Yi Zhonghai was looking for him, Xiao Baoguo nodded and returned to his office.
By the time he arrived at Yi Zhonghai's workshop, everyone in the workshop had already left for the cafeteria.
"Grandpa Yi, why are you looking for me?”
"It's nothing. It's just that you've been working in the factory for so long, and we haven't had a good chat yet. I just wanted to take advantage of the free time during lunch today to talk to you.”
Yi Zhonghai was one of the few Grade 8 fitters in the factory and was very respected by the people in the factory.
The people in the factory had a very good evaluation of him. They gave him titles such as technical backbone, moral model, and model husband and wife.
Usually in the factory, Yi Zhonghai always maintained his attitude as a technical backbone and earnestly completed the work assigned by the factory leader. When he encountered technical difficulties with his colleagues, he would also guide them, but he never fawned over anyone.
Ever since Xiao Baoguo entered the rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai had treated him the same way he treated the other workers.
If they bumped into each other on the way, they would greet each other humbly and politely, but there would never be too much communication.
Xiao Baoguo raised his eyebrows when he heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to talk to him today. Could it be that this old man had changed?
"Alright, let's have a good chat today.”
Although he did not know what the other party wanted to do, he still sat in front of Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai opened all the lunchboxes on the table and saw that there were many dishes inside. Xiao Baoguo looked at him in surprise.
"Are you surprised? I don't eat so well every day. You're only here today.”
Xiao Baoguo reached out his chopsticks and picked up two mouthfuls of food.
Since alcohol was not allowed in the factory, Yi Zhonghai brewed two cups of tea and placed them in front of Xiao Baoguo.""I heard from the old lady that you bring her food every few days?”
Xiao Baoguo nodded and swallowed his food."That's right. The old lady is alone. I'll just send some over.”
"It can be said that the people in the courtyard house watched you grow up. Sometimes, I even treat you as my own children.”
"It's fine if you guys have any conflicts or quarrels, but isn't it a little too much to drug someone and throw them into the cellar?”
Xiao Baoguo looked at him in surprise and said,""Master Yi, you're not suspecting that I did it, are you?”
"Didn't He Yushui already prove it? It's not right for you to suspect people so casually. I think you treat Silly Zhu as your own child, but the rest of us might not.”
Yi Zhonghai did not get angry. He said calmly,""I don't have any children in my life, and I watched all of you grow up. I admit that I'm biased towards Silly Zhu on some matters, but isn't that because of his father?”
"Back then, his father left the siblings behind and ran off with someone else. At that time, Shazhu always brought his sister over to eat.”
"That's why I hope that you can give in to Silly Zhu in the future and not always make things difficult for him. Yesterday, I talked to Rainwater and I can tell that she's interested in you. You don't want to end up in a bad relationship with Rainwater because of Silly Zhu, right?”
Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. Instead, he stared at Xiao Baoguo.
When the other party finished speaking, Xiao Baoguo put down his chopsticks and said,"Master Yi, if you have something to say, you can just say it. It's meaningless to beat around the bush like this.”
"Alright, then I'll be straightforward. I hope you can admit that what happened last time was a prank. Although the old lady and I came forward to suppress the matter, it will more or less affect Zhu Zi's reputation.”
"Don't worry, it's just a prank. I'll speak up for you at the assembly. As for the rain, I'll speak to Zhu Zi. How about that?”
Xiao Baoguo laughed as if he had heard a funny joke.
Seeing the other party looking at him with a puzzled expression, he said,"Master Yi, first of all, I have to be clear. For now, I only treat He Yushui as a friend. As for what will happen in the future, that's for the future!”
"Also, you asked me to take responsibility for this matter, but have you ever considered my reputation? There are many people in our courtyard who work in our factory.”
"You have to know that it wasn't easy for me to get my current job. What if my reputation is ruined? You can't side with him in everything just to let Silly Zhu support you in your old age.”
"No, you can't be said to be biased anymore. You're selfish. All your starting points are for your own future, right?”
"Finally, I'll say one more thing. Sometimes, you look at things too simply, whether it's people or things.”
After Xiao Baoguo finished speaking, he ignored the other party's ugly expression and stood up to walk towards the office.
Yi Zhonghai stared at Xiao Baoguo's back with a gloomy face. At this time, the people who had gone to the cafeteria to eat had returned to the workshop. Seeing everyone greeting Xiao Baoguo warmly, Yi Zhonghai looked at them thoughtfully.
