High-profile, this was too high-profile!
Li Wuwei had never expected that he would actually be praised. This was to let everyone know that he had money and a job.
No, I have to spend this money. My salary today is 31.52 cents.
With the 100 yuan bonus, the amount was just a little awkward. It was still not enough to buy a sewing machine, but it would not be enough to buy a radio.
When he came out of the factory manager's office with a confused expression, he quickly sorted out his mood.
In the future, when they ran out of money, they could still come to the factory to earn rewards. It was no less than working.
As for saving these small inventions for his own use in the future, forget it. There would be too many opportunities to earn money then.
As long as they stood on the wind, pigs could fly.
"Li Wuwei, you're here. Congratulations, you've made a killing.”
"Look, there's even a certificate of honor.”
The eyes of the workers were red with envy. They might not be able to get the honor even if they worked in the factory for their entire lives.
"Brother!"
Qin Huairu shouted. This was her man, so let others be envious of him.
"Yes, I came to say hello and prepare to go back.”
He originally wanted to have lunch at the factory, but he did not want to be too high-profile today and affect his retirement life.
"Don't be like that, Li Wuwei. Your wife has already agreed to let you make another pencil sharpener.”
"Make one. The factory has already called for us to learn from you.”
The workers started to cheer. Li Wuwei had a joyous occasion today, so they couldn't do anything about it.
"Brother, I've already agreed.”
"Alright! It'll only take a short while."
Li Wuwei immediately handed the certificate to his wife. He rolled up his sleeves and found some small parts that he needed. When he looked up, he realized that he was surrounded by people. Yi Zhonghai was still standing in front.
"Everyone, sorry for embarrassing yourself."
He did not have stage fright at all. He simply made two sets and left one for his wife to use.
As the grinding wheel spun, he held a piece of steel in each hand and sprinkled it on the blade. Sparks flew everywhere and the blade was polished.
The rolling mill did not lack fragmented steel sheets, regardless of thickness.
The small parts were formed in his hands one by one. He also used a lot of tools, but he did it in one go. He did not polish it repeatedly, and he rarely used tools to measure the size.
With the previous experience, it was even faster this time. The workers felt their scalps go numb. This technique was really amazing.
"Guys, what are you looking at?"
Jia Dongxu returned to the workshop sullenly. Because he had taken half a day off, he only had 22.07 yuan.
His wife left him five yuan and took the rest.
He still had three days before the wedding, so he wanted to save it for his father-in-law. He also wanted to take things home in big and small bags like Li Wuwei.
"Jia Dongxu, don't mess around. Look at Li Wuwei making a pencil sharpier.”
A colleague reminded them not to affect their studies. They might even get a reward.
Jia Dongxu's face turned ugly. Why was Li Wuwei everywhere? But when he thought of the 100 yuan reward, he immediately squeezed into the crowd, wanting to learn from him.
However, Li Wuwei had already finished processing the parts. Then, he sat on the stool and assembled the two sets of parts together. In a moment, he had made two pencil sharpeners. The appearance was much more exquisite than the last time.
"Alright, one for my wife and the other for you to study.
I won't do it anymore in the future. Don't affect the performance of the pencil sharpening factory.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai was the first to take the pencil sharpeners. He had already prepared a pencil and tried it on the spot. It was just right, without any deviation.
This was simply inconceivable. Li Wuwei's grasp of size was too precise. Even he felt inferior.
Qin Huairu also happily took the other one, but in the blink of an eye, she lent it to the female workers to sharpen the pencil.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!
Oh right, Huai Ru, I'll give you this month's food allowance. It's five yuan. Everyone saw it. Don't say that I'm mistreating my wife.”
Li Wuwei gave the money on the spot. He planned to go back and borrow some money from He Daqing to buy a sewing machine. He would have enough money sooner or later.
"This Li Wuwei doesn't know how to give more to others. He got a hundred yuan bonus.”
"It's already not easy. I only gave Qin Huairu three yuan previously.”
"By the way, Jia Dongxu, how much money does your wife give you for food every month? Don't eat cold cornbread anymore.”
Some of the workers brought Jia Dongxu out for comparison. Who asked Jia Dongxu to have such a complicated relationship with Li Wuwei and Qin Huairu? They were also from the same workshop, so it was difficult to avoid them.
"I also took five yuan. My wife took more than seventeen yuan. I'm not like Li Wuwei, who spends so much money alone and doesn't know anything about the Gu family!”
Jia Dongxu was proud. He was better than Li Wuwei no matter what.
The workers shook their heads. You might as well learn from Li Wuwei. At least you'll get benefits and live well.
They didn't say anything and let Jia Dongxu be smug. They didn't have much money for their monthly living expenses, and they had to hand it over when they went home.
"Dongxu, come over and learn how to make a pencil sharper. Once you know how to make it, it won't be a problem for you to take the assessment in the future.”
Yi Zhonghai took the pencil sharpeners apart and size all the parts. He recorded them down because he wanted to teach his disciples and improve his skills at the same time.
"First Uncle, I don't need it!”
Jia Dongxu's face was bitter. He couldn't learn everything from Li Wuwei. Couldn't he let others learn from him instead?
"I have to learn!"
Yi Zhonghai didn't give anyone a chance to refuse. He took advantage of the closing ceremony today. He had to have a lot of work to do.
"Alright then!"
Jia Dongxu was at his wit's end. He wanted to see what Li Wuwei was capable of, but he was soon dumbfounded. These small parts were too difficult to make.
……
On the other hand, Li Wuwei left the rolling mill and was thinking about where to find He Daqing. He was busy pedaling his tricycle every day and sometimes he would not be seen at night.
But today, it was time for him to borrow money. As soon as he reached the street, he saw He Daqing riding a three-wheeled motorcycle from the intersection in front of him. He was probably going back to the courtyard to eat and change shifts.
"Uncle He, what a coincidence!"
"Don't call me uncle. The moment you open your mouth, I feel that something bad is going to happen!”
He Daqing stopped the car. It was a Saturday, and business was good. He had earned a little more than one yuan and was one step closer to getting married.
"It's a good thing, of course it's a good thing. I'm going to buy a sewing machine.”
Li Wuwei stepped forward and gave out a cigarette.
He Daqing immediately lit it up and rested for a while. There was no capital to ride a three-wheeled motorcycle. It was just a waste of physical strength.
"Where did you get the money to buy a sewing machine?"
"Oh, I got my salary today. The factory even rewarded me with 100 yuan. You can lend me another 50 yuan.”
He had to spend the money. Otherwise, he would become a rich family in the courtyard and would not be able to look around.
"No, how did you get the reward? A hundred?”
He Daqing was stunned. You've already resigned.
"You're underestimating me. Do you see this? This is a certificate of honor.”
Li Wuwei handed the certificate over. The contents were simple, but the most important thing was the 100-yuan bonus.
After He Daqing saw it, he immediately went numb.
"No, you're so capable. You can make small inventions. You made a pen sharpier and earned a hundred yuan?”
"Uncle He, I'm very capable. Lend me 50 yuan and I'll return it to you in a few months. Anyway, you won't be able to get a wife in a short period of time.”
There was nothing wrong with what he said. Old He's family couldn't afford it. If he wanted to get rid of his single life, he had to either run away with the widow or save money to buy a house.
"I lent you 50 yuan, but I feel like I've suffered a huge loss.”
He Daqing was still able to take out fifty yuan, but he was unwilling. He had been in the hospital for forty years and had never lent money to anyone. He had made an exception for the last banquet.
"How about this? When you hold a banquet, I'll help you arrange it. The entire academy will have to follow the gift. No one can escape.”
Li Wuwei had grasped his weakness.
He Daqing said somewhat embarrassedly,""I'm looking for a wife. Even if it's my second marriage, it's not easy to hold a banquet!”
"What's wrong with a second marriage? True love is priceless! The rain was still so light, he needed a stepmother. Silly Zhu was only eighteen, he still wanted a mother to take care of him! Besides, Lao Cai also wanted to have a sister-in-law at home!”
Li Wuwei patted him on the shoulder. This Old He was still looking for a wife even at the age of eighty. He was still obsessed with this.
"Yes, Li Wuwei, what you said makes sense. Then I'll lend you 50 yuan. You have to return it to me as soon as possible. Who knows, I might be the one getting married one day.”
He Daqing had been hurt by the White Widow once. This time, he decided to learn from his father and find one nearby. He couldn't go out of the suburbs at the farthest. Maybe he could even make a big fat boy to be a companion for Shazhu and Rainwater.
"Let's split up. I'll go to the department store to choose a sewing machine.”
Li Wuwei hopped onto his bicycle and prepared to set off.
"Sure, when we get to the department store, I might be able to pull another job.”
He Daqing thought about it and did not come for nothing. Besides, the banquet was already planned. He was just waiting to find a wife.
In less than half an hour, the two of them met at the department store. After paying, Li Wuwei found a cart driver and asked He Daqing to help carry the sewing machine onto the cart.
Wouldn't the house be filled with big items? He could make a few more pairs of underpants and change them more frequently.
"Ah, Old He, did you buy a sewing machine? You don't even have a woman.”
Third Aunt felt that something was wrong. Uncle Ho had been going in and out of the courtyard before, and now he had brought Lao Cai out.
She followed him to the door and looked outside. There was a handcart with sewing machines on it. The He brothers and Li Wuwei were busy unloading the goods.
