Chapter 124: Poaching
It was another busy day. Being busy was one thing, but the most important thing was that it was dirty.
Zheng Guo dismantled and installed the lathe very carefully, and a lot of black oil got stuck on his body.
As for hands, needless to say, even after washing them eight or ten times, they are still black.
On Wednesday, Zheng Guo began to adjust and repair the three-axis lathe.
This lathe is much more complicated than a single-axis lathe, especially when installing the three-axis linkage. Even though Zheng Guo knew how to deal with it, it still took him rounds of adjustments before he got the three-axis lathe to the best condition.
In the afternoon, when Zheng Guo continued to adjust and repair the three-axis lathe, the second brother who was watching on the side suddenly stood up and greeted someone.
"Director Yu, you are here!"
Zheng Guo raised his head and saw a middle-aged man with short square hair and a simple and honest look standing beside him.
"Lao Lin, what are you saying hello to?
This must be your junior fellow comrade Zheng Guo.
Hello, Comrade Zheng Guo! "
As he spoke, Yu Gang stretched out his hand.
Zheng Guo grinned, "Director Yu, aren't you afraid that my hands will get dirty?"
Yu Gang smiled innocently, "It's okay, I just washed my hands these few days."
Yu Gang still insisted on extending his hand.
This is something Zheng Guo had not expected, “Handshake, wait until my hands are clean!
Senior brother, who is this Director Yu?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you.
Junior brother, this is Yu Gang, the director of our factory's maintenance department."
"Oh, Director Yu, hello!"
"Well, I hope I didn't bother you.
Comrade Xiao Zheng, please continue, don't worry about me! "
After he finished speaking, Yu Gang squatted down, looked at Zheng Guo, and lent a hand to help. After a few steps, Yu Gang's hands became black and sticky.
After several hours of hard work, another three-axis lathe was completed.
After the test, Lin Xueming was praised again.
"Comrade Xiao Zheng, let's go wash up!"
"it is good!"
After they finished washing, Yu Gang extended his hand again, and finally the two held hands.
Yu Gang took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Guo, then took out a match and lit the cigarette for Zheng Guo.
"Director Yu, you are too polite!"
Yu Gang smiled, "Comrade Xiao Zheng, I didn't expect you to have this skill.
Your small parts processing workshop is really something. You hid the fact that you can repair lathes.
If I hadn’t heard your director Lu Tao say something wrong today, and hadn’t come here to see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have known you were such a great Buddha.”
"Are you hiding something?"
"Don't you know?"
Zheng Guo shook his head. Yu Gang saw that Zheng Guo really didn't know about this and thought that Lu Tao kept it a secret because he valued his talent.
"Xiao Zheng, are you interested in joining our maintenance department? What we need most is talent like you!"
"No, no, Director Yu, I'm doing fine in the small parts processing workshop!"
Zheng Guo refused without a second thought. The reason was that the maintenance job was too dirty and he would have to sacrifice his new work clothes for the job.
He doesn't want to dance with black oil every day.
"what!"
Yu Gang was a little dumbfounded.
“Xiao Zheng, with your skills, it would be a shame if you didn’t come to the maintenance department.
The salary in our maintenance department is higher than that in the workshop.
Don't worry, if you come here, I will immediately apply for a team leader position for you. In addition to your salary, you will also receive position and job subsidies. At least you can earn an extra 20 or 30 yuan a month."
“Thank you Director Yu for your kindness, I really have no intention of changing my position.
Okay, Director Yu, I'll go get busy now."
After saying this, Zheng Guo took two deep puffs of his cigarette and then stamped out the butt.
Yu Gang couldn't believe it until Zheng Guo left. If Zheng Guo didn't agree, he would get an extra 20 or 30 yuan salary a month, which would be enough for the whole family to live on.
Yu Gang followed and saw Master Xu handing the enamel pot to Zheng Guo.
"Huh"
Master Xu has a bad temper and is especially strict with his apprentices. How could this happen?
When he came up to the two of them, he heard the master and disciple chatting about family matters.
"Xiao Yu is here!"
"Hello, Master Xu, we haven't seen each other for a while."
"Xiao Yu, let me say hello to you first. Don't even think about touching my apprentice!"
Yu Gang felt a little numb when he heard this.
"Ah! Why?"
Master Xu chuckled twice and said, "My little apprentice's future is not in your maintenance department. He will have a broader stage in the future."
"Oh ah!"
Yu Gang still couldn't believe that these words were said by Master Xu.
Zheng Guo laughed when he heard this, "Master, what kind of stage is it? Tell me first!"
Master Xu rolled his eyes at Zheng Guo and said calmly, "Chiseling, filing, sawing, marking, drilling, reaming, tapping and threading, scraping, grinding, straightening, bending and riveting, etc.
This stage is big enough! "
"cut!
Master, this is still a job for fitters!"
"Hahaha, you're a smart guy!"
Yu Gang on the side lost his composure, feeling that Master Xu was just teasing him.
No, such talents must be poached from the maintenance department.
Yu Gang already had an idea, but after looking at the sky and then at his watch, he realized it was time to get off work, and it was too late to find Director Yang.
Soon a new day passed.
As usual, Zheng Guo was pushed by his master to the gate while riding his bike. He then rode to the Daqianmen Tavern and took two plates of meat and vegetables home.
When he returned to the courtyard, the first person he ran into was Yan Bugui. Zheng Guo just glanced at him and pushed the cart towards the central courtyard.
"Hey!"
Yan Bugui looked at what Zheng Guo was holding, shook his head and sighed, then went back to the house.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Zheng Guo returned to the central courtyard, he saw a person sitting on the steps in front of his house with his hands on his head.
Hearing the sound, the man stood up immediately.
"Brother Zheng, you, you are finally back."
Zheng Guo thought for a moment, and with the help of the light from the opposite side, he could see clearly that the person coming was the little bastard Zhou Billy.
"Billy, it's you, wait a minute."
Zheng Guo locked the car and brought Zhou Billy into the house. He turned on the light and saw that the boy had a bruised face and a cut on the corner of his mouth. There were two dried tear marks on his face and his body was dirty.
"Billy, you're fighting!"
"Zheng, Brother Zheng, I, I didn't..."
As soon as Zhou Billy opened his mouth, he began to sob and his eyes were immediately filled with tears.
"It's okay, don't worry, just take your time!"
Zheng Guo scooped a bucket of water from the water tank, poured some hot water from the thermos, put an old towel into the basin, rinsed it and wrung it dry, then handed the towel to little Billy.
"Wipe your face first. I'll prescribe you a prescription to invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. Soak your face in it and the wound will heal in a few days."
"Brother Zheng, I..."
Zhou Billy still didn't know what to say or how to say it, so he wiped his face with a towel first.
"Have you had dinner tonight?"
"I……"
"It's okay, I'll cook first and we can talk about it after we eat!"
"No, Brother Zheng, I ate it!"
But at this moment, Zhou Billy's stomach made a growling sound and he immediately lowered his head.
Zheng Guo smiled and started to wash the rice. Then he spread the clean white gauze on the drawer and poured the rice in.
Yes, Zheng Guo has learned how to steam rice. It's like a piece of white gauze that turns yellow as time goes by.
