All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 782 783. Wen Xiaoqing moved out of the Yue family, family conflicts
Chen Yuemei and Lu Weidang have completely opposite personalities. Chen Yuemei is obviously a very introverted person. She even speaks in a very low voice. She keeps her head down when speaking and dares not look people in the eye.

Fortunately, her brother and two acquaintances, Yue Wenxuan and Yue Ruoyin, were among the people present, so she was able to remain calm. Otherwise, she would have been even more embarrassed and would have had difficulty uttering a complete sentence.

After the two finished introducing themselves, Yue Wenxuan said: "Considering that our department store has added two new generals, I plan to add a new project team, which is the data mimeographing project team.

I have already contacted other units for the task of mimeographing materials, and our department store has also added two new mimeograph machines. Lu Weidang and Chen Yuemei have both joined this new project team, with Lu Weidang serving as the project leader. "

Yue Wenxuan looked at Lu Weidang, "Weidang, do you have the confidence to do the job well?"

"I have confidence!" Lu Weidang stood up again with a look of surprise on his face. "When I was in junior high and high school, my teachers often asked me to lead others to complete the mimeographing of test papers. So, I have some experience in this job and I am confident that I can do it well. I promise to print the information clearly and completely without wasting paper and wax paper."

"It's good to have confidence. It seems that I have found the right person to be the person in charge of this project."

There is basically no technical difficulty in mimeographing documents. Even if you have no experience, after a little training and as long as you are careful, any normal person can do it well.

Yue Wenxuan chose Lu Weidang as the project leader not because he was optimistic about or trusted him, but purely to compensate Yan Xuejie.

Yan Xuejie exchanged her job at a state-owned factory for a job at a department store, and was determined not to accept the financial compensation from Yue Wenxuan. Yue Wenxuan increased Lu Weidang's salary in disguise, which was at least a token of his appreciation.

Letting Lu Weidang sit down again, Yue Wenxuan continued: "We have a heavy task to print materials. The project team only has Lu Weidang and Chen Yuemei. It is very likely that we will not be able to complete the task. I will add two more assistants to your project team.

In addition to completing their own work, Yue Ruoyin and Wen Xiaoqing will focus on the work of your project team in the future and be mainly responsible for the engraving of wax paper.

Both of you have good handwriting, and when you print on wax paper, it must be clear and neat, this is the only requirement for you."

Wen Xiaoqing also stood up and said, "I also helped teachers carve wax paper when I was in school, so I understand the methods and requirements for engraving wax paper. While making the handwriting clear and neat, I try not to waste a single piece of wax paper."

“I have never engraved wax paper, but I will humbly ask Sister Xiaoqing for advice and improve my skills as soon as possible so as not to hinder my work.” Yue Ruoyin also stood up and expressed her opinion.

“As long as you have confidence, I also believe that you can do this job well.

I will give the mimeographed materials to Lu Weidang later. We need to print 2,000 copies of this material. We have more time, so there is no rush. You don’t need to rush. The key is to ensure the quality of the mimeographed materials.”

After the short meeting, when the other people had left, Yue Wenxuan handed the Chinese knowledge materials that he had prepared long ago to Lu Weidang.

This document did not have a cover, so after reading it, Lu Weidang did not know that it was a set of college entrance examination review materials, and Yue Wenxuan would not deliberately point this out.

Lu Weidang was entrusted with an important task as soon as he started working, and he was eager to do a good job. After Yue Wenxuan left, he immediately gathered several people from the project team together and redistributed the tasks.

Although mimeographing documents may seem simple, it is actually very easy to cause various problems during the operation.

After assigning the tasks, Wen Xiaoqing and Yue Ruoyin received the first sheet of information to be engraved from Lu Weidang and prepared to start engraving the wax paper.

Carving on wax paper is not as simple as imagined. It is difficult to do it well without some practical experience.

Yue Ruoyin had never practiced this before, so she could only follow Wen Xiaoqing and humbly ask for advice from her.

Wen Xiaoqing took out the steel plate for engraving, spread the wax paper on it, and prepared to start engraving.

The steel plate used for engraving is not made entirely of steel, but a black steel plate is embedded in the middle of a rectangular wooden board.

Place the steel plate on the table, take out a piece of wax paper, spread it on the steel plate, pick up a stylus, and you can write on the wax paper.

Wen Xiaoqing demonstrated to Yue Ruoyin while saying, "Don't write too lightly, or the wax paper won't be carved through. Don't write too hard, or the wax paper will be easily carved through. You have to write with the right amount of force. An experienced person can write with just the right amount of force, so that the back of the paper is carved through without damaging the wax paper.

Carving wax paper depends entirely on the strength of your hands. After a while, your hands will become sore and weak, and you have to stop and rest for a while before picking up the pen to continue carving. "

After Wen Xiaoqing finished carving a line, he thought of his past experiences and said with some relief:
“Luckily it’s summer now and not winter.

If it is winter and the weather is freezing cold, the hand holding the pen will be placed on the steel sheet for a long time. It will be freezing cold and the little finger will soon be frozen or even swollen. You have to blow on it with your mouth or rub it with your hands to warm it up before continuing to write.

I once had the experience of carving wax paper in the cold winter, and I still can’t forget that feeling.”

With Wen Xiaoqing's demonstration, Yue Ruoyin sat beside her and carefully carved a line. It was her first time to carve, and she had no experience. She either didn't have enough strength or punctured the candle. The practice was indeed much more difficult than she had imagined.

Wen Xiaoqing continued to give Yue Ruoyin guidance tirelessly.

She was required to concentrate fully when engraving the steel plate. If she made a mistake accidentally, it would be troublesome to modify it.

In order to calm down, the two moved and found a quiet room.

It is best to keep a quiet working environment when carving wax paper. Once you have finished all the trivial matters and calm down, you can carve calmly.

Now there was no one to disturb us and the room was quiet. The only sound was the squeaking sound of the iron pen scratching on the steel sheet.

Carving steel plates is not like writing with a fountain pen. You have to be meticulous and careful with each stroke. Sometimes you have to draw on wax paper, which requires even more careful carving. Therefore, the carving speed is relatively slow. It takes at least an hour to carve a piece of wax paper.

After Wen Xiaoqing finished carving a piece of wax paper, she immediately handed it to Lu Weidang.

Now that you have the engraved wax paper, you can start mimeographing.

Lu Weidang had operating experience, and although he hadn't done this job for a while, his movements were still very skillful.

He first spread the engraved wax paper on the back of the gauze frame of the mimeograph machine, smoothed it out, fixed it, and placed the mimeographed white paper under the gauze frame. He then used kerosene to mix the ink, making sure it was neither too thick nor too thin, and then dipped the roller in the ink and gently rolled it back and forth on the gauze frame. When the ink was evenly distributed, he rolled it a little harder, and the ink seeped through the traces engraved on the wax paper.

When you lift the gauze frame, a printed document appears clearly before your eyes.

Generally speaking, a sheet of wax paper can print about 200 to 300 copies of information and cannot be reused. If the number of mimeographs of a document is too large, you need to prepare several more sheets of wax paper.

This mimeographing job is actually not easy. When a piece of wax paper is printed to the point where it is unusable, I often feel sore arms and shoulders.

However, one must be careful when mixing ink and changing wax paper. Even so, ink often gets on hands, face, and clothes, which have to be cleaned after printing.

Engraving steel plates and mimeographing materials are actually hard work, not as easy as they seem. Especially for the mimeographing work, people from other project teams stayed away, and no one wanted to be pulled in to help. However, Lu Weidang and Chen Yuemei worked very hard, and neither in their hearts nor in their mouths, they had any complaints.

People in other project teams have long been accustomed to their own jobs. Only after comparison will they become picky.

The two of them had just returned to the city. For them, being able to return to the city and having a job was already very satisfying and surprising, so they were naturally full of energy.

Lu Weidang worked particularly hard. He had just started working at the new unit and was appointed as the project leader. This was both a sign of Yue Wenxuan's attention to him and an honor for him. He was even happier when he learned that the project leader would receive a five-yuan monthly position allowance.

In this way, his monthly salary was 23 yuan, which was a huge income for a young man like him.

Being entrusted with an important task right after joining the workforce and also being able to earn a high salary, Lu Weidang was of course very motivated at work.

Before dinner in the evening, Chen Yuemei called her younger brother Chen Xiaoliang over. It was unknown what she said to her. After the two finished talking, Chen Xiaoliang went straight to Yue Wenxuan.

"Brother Xuan, I think our department store has plenty of rooms. My second sister also wants to stay at our company. Do you think you can arrange it?"

Yue Wenxuan knew that Chen Xiaoliang's family was short of accommodation, so he said without any hesitation: "Then vacate one of the main rooms and let your second sister live there alone. Please take care of her during normal times."

Chen Yuemei was very happy when she knew she could stay at the company, and she couldn't wait to go home and move her luggage over.

She is an introverted person. Even if she is wronged by her sister-in-law at home, she dare not speak out. If she can stay at the unit, she can have less contact with her sister-in-law, which is what she wants.

Soon, Wen Xiaoqing and Yue Ruoyin learned the news from Chen Yuemei.

Yue Ruoyin didn't have any ideas. After all, the accommodation conditions at home were much better than those at the workplace, and they were also very close, so there was no need to move to the workplace.

But Wen Xiaoqing was moved.

She lived in Yue Ruoyin's house. Although the Yue family was very welcoming, it was not her own home after all, so she could not help but feel like a guest. If she could move to the company to live, she would naturally feel freer and more casual.

After she had this idea, she hesitated for a moment and then found Yue Wenxuan.

She said sincerely, "Brother Wenxuan, I just heard Yuemei say that she is going to move to the company to live, and I also want to come over and keep her company, is that okay with you?"

She was worried that Yue Wenxuan might misunderstand her, so she quickly explained, "I know everything is fine living at home, and I am indeed living happily these days. I will go back to visit Aunt Cong often in the future, but I still feel more comfortable living in the company dormitory.

Brother Wenxuan, can you understand my feelings when I say this? "

Yue Wenxuan could understand her feelings, so he didn't say anything to persuade her to stay. "I'm a little worried about Chen Yuemei living alone in the company dormitory. If you can move in with her, I won't have to worry about it. It will be more lively for you two to live together."

After getting Yue Wenxuan's consent and support, Wen Xiaoqing's originally conflicted expression suddenly turned into a bright smile.

After Yue Ruoyin knew Wen Xiaoqing's decision, she was of course very reluctant to let her go, but at the same time she could understand her choice, so she didn't force it. She just asked for an extra bed in their room, and if they had to work overtime or something particularly happy, she might live with them.

Wen Xiaoqing and Chen Yuemei of course welcomed Yue Ruoyin's request and they even wished she could move in with them.

After returning home in the evening, Yue Wenxuan personally explained the matter to his parents and did not let Wen Xiaoqing bring it up herself to avoid embarrassing her.

Cong Qiuhui was really reluctant to let go. After knowing her for some time, she particularly liked this girl, Wen Xiaoqing. Not only was she pretty, but she also had a very good personality. She was her favorite type.

But she could understand Wen Xiaoqing's feelings better and knew that she would definitely prefer to move out, so she only tried to keep her out of courtesy and did not force her.

Knowing that the matter was irreversible, Cong Qiuhui prepared some daily necessities for Wen Xiaoqing in a very careful manner. All the miscellaneous items added up to fill up a large box, which touched Wen Xiaoqing deeply.

When Lu Weidang saw his two female colleagues moving into the company dormitory, he was also attracted and wanted to move in as well.

But their family's accommodation conditions are good, and he has his own room when he returns home. If he also asks to move to the dormitory, it would obviously be suspected of taking advantage of the group.

Originally he was embarrassed to make this request, but after having two consecutive quarrels with Fu Shiting, he really couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, so he made up his mind to talk to Yue Wenxuan about this matter.

Taking advantage of the short break after lunch, he came to sit next to Yue Wenxuan and said a little embarrassedly:

"Brother Wenxuan, I see there is an empty upper bunk in the men's dormitory of our unit. Can I move in temporarily?

If there are other new employees in the company who need to live in the dormitory in the future, I can give it up to them.”

"The accommodation conditions in your home should be much better than the dormitory in our unit, right? Now your elder brother hasn't returned to the city yet, and you occupy a room all by yourself. Even I envy you. Why can't you think it through and actually want to come and live in the unit?" Yue Wenxuan asked directly.

If possible, Lu Weidang was unwilling to talk about the conflicts in his family in front of outsiders, but when Yue Wenxuan asked, he couldn't lie, so he scratched the back of his head and said:
"You also know that Fu Shiting and I have always had a bad relationship. Ever since I came back, she has been finding fault with me. I don't know where all her problems come from.

I will never tolerate her bad habits!
But it's not good for a man like me to always quarrel with her, as it seems like I have no tolerance.

I don't want to quarrel with her every day. If I'm in a bad mood, my dad will be unhappy too. Since I can't afford to offend him, I can just hide away, right?

I only thought of making this request when I saw that there was a vacant bed in the male dormitory of our unit."

Lu Weidang was worried that Yue Wenxuan would refuse, so he made a solemn promise: "Brother Wenxuan, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to take advantage, and I won't cause you any trouble. If our unit has new employees in the future and they want to move in, I will definitely give up this bed and won't make it difficult for you."

This was not a big deal, and Yue Wenxuan agreed to it readily.

It was not a big deal for Lu Weidang to move into the company dormitory. What interested him more was the family conflicts in the Lu family.

He really admired Fu Shiting's spirit of doing things right. Most people in her situation would never be able to muster such a righteous spirit.

She was originally a burden, most people would subconsciously keep a low profile, and she had just broken off the engagement, so normal people would choose to be more low-key. She was actually able to argue with Lu Weidang who had just returned to the city with a clear conscience. If she wasn't thick-skinned enough, she would never do such a thing.

In Yue Wenxuan's understanding of Fu Shiting, she is also a person who is particularly good at judging the situation. According to her style of doing things, she should not be so high-profile at this time.

"Fu Shiting seemed to have been avoiding people some time ago, but recently she seems to be going in and out without avoiding people. Has she gained some confidence again?" Yue Wenxuan asked casually.
