Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 2 Go to work

Wang Shi and the others hugged each other and walked toward the factory gate, with everyone talking behind them.

"Hey, look at how much the two of them earned in a day and a half, which is more than half a year's salary for temporary workers like us."

"They are skilled people. There is no point in envying them. If I give you a hundred dollars, can you repair it? Not to mention it has been repaired, but you have seen so many parts that have been removed. If I install them for you, there may be more."

How many parts will come?"

"So as the old saying goes, if you have a lot of money, it's better to defend yourself with one skill. If someone else's skills are there, you can only stare at them with envy." said squad leader Chen of the transportation team.

"Master, can't I just be envious? Envy is also a sin," Xiao Lin, squad leader Chen's apprentice, said.

Wang Shi and Lei Zi had one hundred yuan in their arms. They went to the supply and marketing cooperative and weighed two kilograms of white meat, a total of one yuan and eight cents, and four kilograms of cabbage, one yuan and six cents. "Okay, okay, let's go! Let's go!" Lei Zi saw it.

What else did Wang Shi want to buy? He was so frightened that he pulled Wang Shiqiang out of the supply and marketing cooperative, "You have to save money and spend it. If you spend it like you do, one hundred yuan won't be enough for you for a month. Besides, why are you so polite when you come to my house? Let's

Do you need to be so polite? I also know a little about your family's situation, and it is even poorer than mine." Lei Zi said.

"Money is earned, not saved, you know?" With just one hundred yuan, how can you become a millionaire? Even your dead salary of 38 yuan is only three to four hundred yuan a year. Damn it.

If I can save my life on this salary, I am afraid I will starve to death.

However, he also felt the sincerity of the other party, and Wang Shi felt warm in his heart, noting that he had brought him out in vain.

Lei Zi's house is a large courtyard house. It used to be a classic Beijing courtyard house for wealthy people, but now it is home to many families.

When Huang Guoqiang, Lei Zi's father, saw Wang Shi buying so many things, he scolded Wang Shi and beat Lei Zi, saying that Lei Zi did not dissuade Wang Shi and spent money lavishly.

The happiest ones are Lei Zi’s two younger brothers and one younger sister. The younger sister is the youngest, and she finally has meat to eat today.

When everyone saw Lei Zi and Wang Shi, strangers, carrying meat and vegetables, they cursed in their hearts, these prodigal boys.

Lei Zi's mother stir-fried a pound of pork white meat with cabbage, plus a Chinese cabbage, three dishes, one meat and two vegetarian. Wang Shi and Wang Shi had eaten a lot in the past day and a half, but they didn't eat much. It was the three naughty children who ate the most.

joyous.

In the process, Lei Zi's parents found out about the food they had eaten for the past three days. Lei Zi's parents were very grateful to Wang Shi. If nothing else, the food they had eaten for the past three days and a half was worth it.

"What, in just a day and a half, you just... made a hundred yuan?" Lei Zi's mother almost lost her seat when she heard Lei Zi say that the two of them made a hundred yuan in a day and a half.

"Auntie, yes, I think this is quite a bit." Wang Shi put the remaining ninety-six yuan on the table. Nine big unity cards, a light red one yuan and a dark green two cents were placed on the table.

I feel a bit like a wealthy person, and it’s a bit dazzling to see everyone.

No matter how you say it, you were a senior technician in your previous life. You worked hard for a day and a half to earn only a hundred dollars. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it.

"Leizi, this is yours. This is half of each person we agreed on in advance." Wang Shi took four big unity cards and gave them to Lei Zi.

"Shitou, what are you talking about? I'm just helping you with tools to do odd jobs. How can you divide it? I don't know anything about repairing cars. You did it all, Shitou. If I take this money, I will

Is Lei Zi still a human being? How can I hold my head high in front of my friends in the future?" After Lei Zi finished speaking, he picked up two large pieces of twenty yuan and said, "I only need twenty yuan, and the rest is yours.

Your family is poorer than mine, and you have many younger brothers and sisters, so I am satisfied with just one mouthful of food."

"This..." Wang Shi thought about the current situation of his family and was stunned for a moment. "That's okay. If anything happens in the future, the two of us will do it together. If nothing else, we can still guarantee that we will be able to enjoy good food and drink well." Now.

Their cars are high-end goods, and the technicians who can repair them are even better, and they provide delicious food and drinks wherever they go.

"What I want is your words." Lei Zi raised his glass happily when he thought about the food.

"Pah!" Lei Zi's father put down his chopsticks and stared at Lei Zi, "You bastard, you don't know how much you weigh, do you?"

"Father, what's wrong with me...?" Lei Zi was frightened when he saw his father getting angry and holding the twenty yuan in his hand in the air.

"Huh, you don't know what kind of thing you are. You have the nerve to take twenty yuan. You are a temporary worker in the factory and your monthly salary is only 15 yuan. How can you feel at ease with these twenty yuan?"

After saying that, he grabbed a big unity card from Lei Zi and gave it back to Wang Shi.

Seeing that Wang Shi had something to say, he stopped him and said: "Shitou, uncle knows that you and Lei Zi are brothers, but it is his great blessing that you can take him with you and learn how to repair cars from you.

It's like a master and an apprentice. This guy hasn't even started as a master yet. How can he get these twenty yuan? Have you ever seen an apprentice work for the master and share the money with the master?"

"This..." Master and disciple, I don't think so at all.

"Okay, okay, this matter is settled. You keep the money. If you can take care of this kid in the future, he will burn incense."

Wang Shi resisted again, but the other party refused. Lei's mother also agreed, and Wang Shi also put it away.

After buying so many things today and only getting ten yuan, Leizi's parents were already satisfied, especially the remaining pound of pork, which could be sliced ​​and stir-fried to make oil for a month.

At this time, the oil that ordinary people usually ate was lard, unlike later generations who ate vegetable oil, and the white pork meat was thrown away in the vegetable markets of later generations.

After eating at Lei Zi's house, Wang Shi returned to the courtyard not far from Lei Zi. This courtyard was where the army chief used to live after his father retired and worked in the capital. When he had free time, he gave his father a house. It was not big, only five

Sixty square meters.

Looking at the roof, thinking that he still had eighty-six dollars, Wang Shi thought about his future plans.

"Poor." Thinking of his family, Wang Shi suddenly felt that his burden was much heavier. As the eldest brother, how could he lead his family to live a good life in the future?

It is now 1979, the reform and opening up has not yet been liberalized, and individual businesses are not allowed. This time the two of them came out to do private work. Wang Shi told the factory that he had something to do at home, so he took a day and a half off and took his colleague Lei Zi out to do private work.

The next morning, Wang Shi and Lei Zi had breakfast outside. There were fried dough sticks and steamed buns with thin skin and large fillings. They were very substantial, unlike later generations, which only had a little meat filling.

After eating, the two returned to the factory to work.

Lei Zi was an apprentice in the factory, a temporary worker, and learned lathe from the master, who was also a close friend of Lei Zi's father.

"Thank you, squad leader. The family matter has been settled." Wang Shi's squad leader saw Wang Shi coming back and showed concern. Wang Shi felt very sorry. The two of them went out to do private work and took two days off on the pretext of having something to do at home.

The squad leader's surname is Xie. Xie Qiangjun is a rural soldier in his forties. He is an old subordinate of his father. His education level is only at the sixth grade level, but he has excellent military qualities. He has been on the battlefield and killed people.
