Siheyuan Great Craftsmen
Chapter 22 White Widow
Zhou Tian left the office and just walked downstairs, he saw the workshop director squatting downstairs smoking. His slightly fat body looked a little funny.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Zhou Tian walked behind the director and coughed softly a few times.
"Master Zhou, you're out. How's that? Is that a good thing?"
When the workshop director heard the coughing sound coming from behind him, he stood up and wanted to curse, but when he saw it was Zhou Tian, a gossipy look appeared in his eyes and he asked.
"That's a good thing. The factory manager promised me that my salary next month will be 800,000 yuan per month!"
Zhou Tian smiled and said softly.
"Then congratulations, Master Zhou!"
The workshop director heard this but didn't care about it. After all, his monthly salary was not less than that of the master chef, so for him, the 800,000 yuan salary was naturally not a big deal.
"How about it, Master Zhou, I said it was a good thing!"
"Ok!"
Zhou Tian nodded and smiled: "The director's mouth is indeed blessed!"
"Hahaha! Master Zhou is joking!"
Chatting and laughing, the two walked towards the workshop.
Back in the workshop, Zhou Tian continued to polish the gun barrel patiently, while the workshop director walked around the workshop and left again.
"Xiaotian, are you okay?"
Before he knew it, the dinner bell rang. Zhou Tian stopped what he was doing and saw his master coming over and asking.
"It's okay, Master, it's a good thing!"
Zhou Tian said with a smile.
"It's good news. I heard from Xiao Wu that the factory director asked you to come over this morning?"
Master Liu Wuming asked in a low voice.
"Yes! The factory director asked me to go!"
Zhou Tian nodded, then looked around and said, "The factory manager told me that my salary will be 800,000 next month!"
"Eight hundred thousand?"
Master Liu Wuming was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhou Tian and asked, "Is it true?"
Zhou Tian nodded and said, "It's true."
"My goodness, your salary this month is almost more than double what the master makes!"
Liu Wuming immediately felt envious. He was not envious of his apprentice Zhou Tian's salary, but of Zhou Tian's speed of promotion. He had just been promoted from intermediate master to master master, but he didn't expect that this time it would be even more ruthless. It had only been less than ten days since his promotion, and his salary had been increased again. This speed, even an airplane could not catch up, right?
"Master, I hope you can keep my salary increase a secret. I don't plan to let anyone in the yard know!"
Zhou Tian said in a low voice.
Although increasing wages is a good thing, especially in this era before there are restrictions, in the final analysis, many people hate what they have and hate others for what they have, especially the people in the yard. The last time their wages were increased, they became master chefs, and that's why they were not targeted by the yard.
A big part of the reason was that Zhou Tian's ruthlessness in the past few years made the people in the courtyard very afraid of him and they dared not target him anymore. Another reason was that Zhou Tian had three burdens at home. They knew that even if Zhou Tian became a master chef, he would have a monthly salary of more than 700,000 yuan.
But it's just enough to live on, not enough to be jealous, at most a little envious. But if the news of the salary increase gets out, it will definitely be a big deal.
Of course, this is only for the next few years. I am afraid that by the end of 52, when prices outside stabilize, people will start to be concerned about his salary. So this year, he must start to buy necessary things for the house step by step. Later, he can say that the money has been spent, and he should also try his best to dispel other people's excuses to borrow money.
If that doesn't work, he might have to bring his grandparents into the city and let them deal with them. With the wisdom of the two old people, it would be easy for them to deal with these beasts.
He didn't want to have too much contact with the people in the yard and disrupt his plans. It would be better for him to study more with this time.
"Okay! Master will keep it a secret for you! Well, let's go, let's go eat!"
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer workers in the workshop, Liu Wuming became anxious and urged.
"Okay master!"
Zhou Tian nodded, picked up the lunch box, and walked towards the cafeteria with his chef.
After dinner, Zhou Tian and his master returned to the workshop, and Zhou Tian continued to process parts. He was not impatient at all, because he knew that if he was more careful with the gun barrel, our soldiers would kill one more enemy on the battlefield of the peninsula.
He knew that he could not abandon his younger brothers and sisters to join the army, so he could only support the front line in his own way.
It was almost time to get off work when he finished today's tasks. He couldn't help but stretch, rub his sore wrists, turn off the machine tool, sit beside it, take out a book and start reading. Now with the increase in tasks, he has much less time to read. He must race against time to use all the time he can to study, waiting for the bell to ring.
It was not until the bell rang outside that he stood up, went to his master's workstation and shouted, and the two of them walked out of the steel mill together.
After saying goodbye to each other, Zhou Tian walked towards the courtyard alone. Not long after he walked away, he saw Uncle He Daqing whispering something with a young woman in her thirties at the entrance of an alley.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tian was a little stunned.
"Is that the legendary White Widow?"
He couldn't help wanting to go forward, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he pretended not to see it and continued walking towards the courtyard.
However, he couldn't help but become alert in his heart, because he remembered that the reason why there was intrigue and corruption in the Siheyuan was also the reason why He Daqing left.
Although he didn't know why He Daqing abandoned his son and daughter and left to help the White Widow, many fan fictions said that it was to avoid classification.
But Zhou Tian knew that this statement was totally untrue, because he once asked He Daqing, and He Daqing once said that their family had cooks during his grandfather's time.
As for their ancestors, according to He Daqing, their ancestor was a servant of the heir of Tan family cuisine. In this case, it is not true that He Daqing was trying to avoid the issue of his background.
Then there is only one reason left, that is, He Daqing was plotted against, and the only person in the yard who could plot against He Daqing's family was an old lady in the backyard.
Speaking of the old lady in the backyard, he had also seen her. On the surface, she was a kind old lady and he could not see any problems with her at all.
He usually saw the Zhou family's children were also kind and amiable, he didn't believe that the old lady could be so bad, but he also knew that you can only know a person's face but not his heart.
Many people who look kind on the surface may actually be beasts in private. It is hard to say. However, for Zhou Tian, no matter what kind of person the old lady is, he will not have much contact with her.
So on weekdays, Zhou Tian also taught his younger brothers and sisters not to have too much contact with the old lady. As a result, the relationship between their family and the old lady has been that of ordinary neighbors until now.
And now the old lady doesn't come to the house and force people to eat meat like in the fan fiction.
"Looks like I need to warn Uncle He!"
Zhou Tian shook his head and thought to himself, he didn't expect that such a smart man like Uncle He would fall in love with a White Widow and even help her to get involved.
"Forget it. I was planning to wait a while before mentioning it to Uncle He, but I didn't expect Uncle He to get to know the White Widow so soon!"
