Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao didn't know that he had become the focus of discussion just now. At this time, he still directed everyone to hurry up and make progress.

Until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire textile factory was equipped with radiators as required. After Yang Xiaotao's inspection, the furnace outside the workshop began to add coal, the temperature of the water in the water tank gradually increased, and then the pressure pump started working.

Wang Fa led Zhou Peng and others to check the situation in the workshop. Under this kind of pressure pump, the water pressure is not low, and leakage problems are prone to occur.

Several people inspected carefully and immediately repaired the leaking areas when they found them. They either replaced the leather pads or re-reinforced them with linseed silk and lead grease, and the problem was quickly solved.

The steel rolling mill is also busy troubleshooting problems here.

In the third workshop, workers continued to move the formed radiators to the warehouse, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Similarly, the workload of the third workshop was also distributed to other workshops, and the workers were busier than before.

In the first workshop, Jia Dongxu was working hard at his station.

It's really about working hard.

Since the intensity of work intensified, Jia Dongxu felt that his body could not keep up with the rhythm. Especially since he could not eat well and sleep well at home, his already thin body really couldn't bear it under this intensity.

Coupled with the matter of the heating stove, it is even more shameless to see people in this workshop.

Now he feels ridiculed and looked down upon wherever he goes, and those looks at him make him feel even more uncomfortable.

"Dongxu, cheer up."

Yi Zhonghai also has a lot of tasks. In the past, it was okay to have three or two workpiece tasks a day. If the scrap rate was higher, the tasks could always be handed in. But now, there are as few as four or five and as many as seven or eight a day. If you want to complete it, you can only concentrate.

Just like that, I finished working overtime yesterday.

He also wanted to mention it to the director, but everyone else around him was like this, and he didn't want to be special. He just hoped that this kind of work intensity was only temporary, and it would be better after this period of time.

It was so busy these two days that I didn't have time to come and look after Jia Dongxu.

I finally finished my busy work today and took the time to take a look.

As a result, I saw Jia Dongxu looking like he was alive and dead, with his head hanging up, the workpiece in his hand was a mess, and there was a pile of scraps beside him, and he felt angry for no reason.

When Yi Zhonghai came over, Jia Dongxu kept his spirits up.

"master!"

"Um!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's dark circles and frowned, how could he work like this?

Jia Dongxu's team leader next to him was complaining. Ever since Jia Dongxu was born, their team has never won the honor of being an outstanding team in the workshop.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, was given face, but now, the team leader really couldn't bear it anymore.

He was just waiting for Yi Zhonghai to come over.

"Master Yi!"

"Look at these artifacts, look at what Jia Dongxu does in a day?"

The team leader shouted with anger, and the team members next to him also came over and started to accuse.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that he was denounced even though he just came over to take a look.

Looking at Jia Dongxu again, he just kept silent, looking like he was doing whatever he wanted, and he felt angry in his heart.

"What are you doing?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could say anything, director Sun Guo walked over.

Recently, that guy Wang Guodong put poison in the office. He didn't bother to argue with this guy, so he came to the workshop for a walk.

When I heard the quarrel here, I immediately came over to see what was going on.

"Director, look, this is what Jia Dongxu did today."

"Look, they are all first-class workpieces. I can produce such a simple workpiece with a 20% defective rate. What can our team do?"

The team leader complained, and other team members were also angry.

It's really unlucky to have such a teammate.

"Director, Jia Dongxu has something going on at home recently, maybe..."

Yi Zhonghai argued for Jia Dongxu, but Sun Guo just glanced at him and interrupted with his hand.

He has also heard about the affairs of Yang Xiaotao's courtyard. The people there are not easy to deal with, and there are people from their workshop here.

Jia Dongxu, he also knew about the heater last time, but it was Yi Zhonghai who came forward to give him the face to ask Xu Yuanshan for a note.

But this Jia Dongxu failed to live up to expectations, and the stoves he made had problems one after another. If he hadn't spent money to settle the problem in the end, he would have been caught long ago.

However, this incident also brought a lot of negative impact to him.

That abominable Wang Guodong...

After all, this is someone from his workshop.

"Okay, let's talk about this at home."

Sun Guo looked at the workpiece processed by Jia Dongxu with a cold face, and there was a burst of anger on his face.

"If you can't do it well, work slowly. If you can't finish it, work overtime."

"But what's the point of turning it into waste after you've done it? You're just wasting materials for me!"

Sun Guo yelled loudly, "I've made this a first-level artifact. How did you get to this level? Who opened the back door for you?"

Yi Zhonghai on the side lowered his head, feeling uneasy.

Sun Guo looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was silent, and felt that he had been too good to him before, and it was time to break things off.

"From now on, Jia Dongxu's work will not be included in your team's results. You will also see how many scraps are produced and the cost of materials consumed will be deducted from Jia Dongxu's salary!"

"This will always be the case!"

"Okay, great!"

Several people ignored Jia Dongxu and celebrated on the sidelines.

After Sun Guo finished speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Jia Dongxu's panicked eyes.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked after hearing this. When he looked at Jia Dongxu again, he felt helpless.

Nine p.m.

Yang Xiaotao finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the pressure pump was working normally and the temperature in the textile factory workshop had reached equilibrium.

So far, there have been no problems, and the task has finally been completed.

Zhai Jing, the director of the textile factory nearby, looked calm and kept moving his fingers in his pockets. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared on the inside.

In the past, every time winter came, the work efficiency of textile factories would decrease.

Especially around the Chinese New Year, it was extremely cold. Even if the female workers were wearing gloves, they could not withstand the cold. Every year, some people would get frostbite on their fingers, which made her feel distressed.

A furnace had been installed in a factory before, but a fire broke out. Fortunately, rescue was timely and only partial damage was caused.

After that, no one dared to bring up the stove.

This time she also heard about the heating stove by chance. Later, she went to an old classmate's house to take a look and immediately felt that this kind of thing would be very suitable for a textile factory.

To this end, she approached the leader of the steel rolling mill, but this item was so popular that many mills were waiting in line. It was impossible for her to jump in line.

She had no choice but to find the old factory director, and after some communication, she installed it.

Now it seems that this heater is really good.

After walking around the factory, the temperature was not only like a spring breeze, but it also made her sweat all over the hot spots of the cotton-padded jacket she was wearing.

I feel even more satisfied with this decision.

"Director Zhai, there should be no problem here. The specific operations have been taught to the comrades here. As long as there are no illegal operations, there should be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao walked over. The middle-aged woman in front of him had a calm temperament, just like Liu Huaimin.

"Okay, thank you so much to the comrades of the steel rolling mill!"

"Where, this is what we should be doing."

"We also have a maintenance team in the factory. If there is any problem, just make a call and someone will come to repair it."

Yang Xiaotao was polite, and Zhai Jing nodded with satisfaction, "Director Wang from your street office and I are classmates. We participated in the revolution together back then, and our friendship lies here."

"Ah, Aunt Wang and you are classmates! Haha... Then I'll lick my face and call you Aunt Zhai."

Yang Xiaotao said haha ​​and shamelessly tried to make connections. The director of this textile factory has a high status. Anyone who can hold a position here must have a background.

Yang Xiaotao's title, Zhai Jing, didn't bother her either. Besides, the young man in front of her was indeed a good person. If he hadn't already gotten married, her relatives would have really good candidates.

The two talked for a while, and Yang Xiaotao and others made sure there were no problems, and told the people in the security department of the textile factory what to pay attention to before preparing to leave.

Before leaving, the logistics director of the textile factory came forward to thank them and then gave each person a white towel.

Everyone was happy, and they didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.

But Yang Xiaotao's was more special, with a white towel and a pair of thread gloves.

As for the wages, they will be settled with the steel rolling mill and then paid into the wages.

Zhou Kui and others will also go to the steel rolling mill to collect wages.

Everyone was happy and left the textile factory at night and went back to their homes.

I rode my bicycle back to the courtyard, and before I entered the gate, I saw a figure walking towards the door.

If you look carefully, he looks a bit like Jia Dongxu.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was looking at the person coming, Jia Dongxu also saw Yang Xiaotao at the door.

For a moment, he stopped in place.

Yang Xiaotao clearly saw that it was Jia Dongxu, but it always looked a bit awkward like this.

From head to toe, there was nothing awkward about it, but it looked uncomfortable.

It seems like he has changed into a different person?

Yang Xiaotao frowned and looked at Jia Dongxu, but Jia Dongxu was scared to death.

On the one hand, he came back so late because he failed to complete the task and worked overtime in the workshop.

The most important thing is to use a steel rolling machine to press some scrap parts into iron sheets when no one is around, and then wrap them around his back with a cotton-padded jacket on the outside. In addition, he is already thin and blind, and he can really see without eyesight. Not coming out.

I was careful to hide it from the guard, and I was breathing heavily from exhaustion along the way.

Finally, we arrived at the door, but who would have thought that we would bump into Yang Xiaotao.

I was cursing in my heart why I didn't leave, my hands were scratched by the iron plate, and my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't stand.

When Yang Xiaotao saw Jia Dongxu standing there, he stared at it for a while, then turned back boredly and walked towards home.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief, then moved his body and walked home bit by bit.

When I walked to the door of the yard, the lights in the room were turned off. Wangcai heard a noise at the door and knew that Yang Xiaotao was back, so he didn't make any noise.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the house carefully and saw Ran Qiuye lying on the bed asleep. He didn't turn on the light and took off his coat in the dark.

Then he walked to the outhouse, tidied it up quietly, looked at the stove again, and then carefully walked to the bed.

He put away the books beside him, then lay on the bed and began to rest.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia and Zhang were snoring loudly. Qin Huairu was confused and woken up by the snoring, and then her stomach growled and she lamented on her face.

He stretched out his hand and remembered that Jia Dongxu hadn't come back tonight.

He got up and put on his cotton-padded jacket, added a coal stone to the stove, put a bowl of corn paste and a two-height steamed bun into the pot, and sat on the stove to heat it up. When Jia Dongxu came back, he would definitely be looking for something to eat.

After doing all this, there was a sound of gasping from the door. Qin Huairu was about to get up when the door was pushed open.

After a while, Jia Dongxu was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and drinking mush. Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu's hands, which were dented and had not yet recovered their blood.

This heart is both happy and sad.

My man is working hard for this family.

"Dongxu, it's so big, how can you lift it?"

"It's okay. It doesn't matter. I'll be back all the way. I'll get a bigger one next time."

Jia Dongxu drank the paste. His stomach felt warmer and his body felt better.

Then he saw Qin Huairu struggling to move the iron plate aside, with a smile on his face.

Perhaps because of the boom in sales of heating stoves, the price for scrap iron has doubled recently. It used to be one cent per pound, but now it's two cents.

This is definitely good news for the Jia family.

I glanced at the iron plate next to me. Such a large piece must weigh more than seventy kilograms.

Qin Huairu thought in her mind that she could exchange it for more than one piece.

"This time, you can buy meat for Bangge."

As he spoke, he showed admiration, which made Jia Dongxu enjoy it very much.

However, he did not dare to tell Qin Huairu about the factory's fine, otherwise the family would be sad again.

I secretly made up my mind to build a bigger one tomorrow so I could earn back the deducted wages.

After eating, Jia Dongxu lay down to sleep, while Qin Huairu was looking forward to what he should buy tomorrow with the money.
