Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

As the new workers are led by the experienced workers in the workshop to get in touch with various machines.

Among tens of thousands of new workers, there will always be some who stand out.

He is capable and hardworking, and cleans the machines used by the master every day.

If you are respectful to your master, have a good attitude and are willing to learn, the old workers of this era will also be willing to teach you.

After all, there are only a few people like Yi Zhonghai who have the skills but are unwilling to teach.

Most people are like Liu Haizhong, who are willing to teach their skills to apprentices.

You have satisfied the master, and the master is tired, so he needs time to drink some water, smoke a cigarette, or go to the toilet.

For simple parts, you open your mouth, or even when you don't open your mouth.

The master may let you try it out first. Just like Zhao Dahai at this moment.

Zhao Dahai and his group of workers were lucky.

While I was still in theoretical training, the automobile factory happened to pay salaries.

I was paid after just a few days of work and without doing anything.

Although the salary was not much, it was the first time Zhao Dahai received a salary in his life.

After leaving the workshop and following his master, Zhao Dahai hadn't learned anything yet, but he knew that his master loved to smoke.

As soon as I approached the master, I smelled smoke.

Smokers may not be able to feel the smell of cigarettes, but for non-smokers, it is quite obvious.

The master assigned to Zhao Dahai was named Cui. The workshop director took the three new workers with him and handed them over to Master Cui before leaving.

Master Cui just asked the three of them to stand aside and watch, and then he didn't say a word.

The three newcomers, including Zhao Dahai, all came from rural areas. It was their first time entering a factory and having a master.

Although it is a new China now, we no longer believe that a teacher is a father for life.

But the person in front of them is the one who will teach them skills for the next three years.

The three of them wanted to please their master, but they didn't know how to do it.

Master Cui was busy working. After all, the tasks at the automobile factory were heavy, and each workshop had tasks to complete every month.

That's all arranged. The workshop will assign tasks to the team, and the team will assign tasks to each person.

If you don't complete your task today, you must work harder tomorrow.

If you cannot complete the task, just work overtime on your own initiative. What if you don’t want to work overtime?

The longer you put it off, the more you have to do. The team's task is to count the items on Monday.

The tasks assigned to you are so poor that the squad leader is about to scold you.

Therefore, Master Cui is somewhat averse to training new workers.

Let's not talk about the apprentice starving the master to death.

It will delay my work. Master Cui is not slow and his skills are quite skilled.

The only thing that delayed production was my excessive smoking.

As a heavy smoker, Master Cui has to smoke from time to time.

There is no way, smoking is not allowed at the production site. If you want to smoke, you can only go to the smoking room.

At home, Master Cui would smoke two cigarettes in an hour.

For an old smoker like Master Cui, he would go out to smoke a cigarette after making a few parts.

I haven't smoked for an hour, and when I went to smoke, I couldn't stop at one cigarette.

If you meet someone gossiping in the smoking room, someone will be excited and give Master Cui a cigarette.

Well, Master Cui might not be back in less than half an hour.

Master Cui is in a bad mood right now because too many people gave him cigarettes in the smoking room yesterday.

The reason is simple. Because the community project has started, even the workers of the construction team are eating in the canteen of the automobile factory.

Many workers were very excited. After all, they were about to move into their new houses. And they were high-rise buildings. How could they not be excited?

Someone offered him a cigarette, and Master Cui, who was a heavy smoker, accepted it without hesitation.

As a result, I only worked for two hours in the whole afternoon, and the task was definitely not completed.

The more enjoyable it was when I was smoking, the more miserable I felt this morning.

Forty-year-old Master Cui, as a fourth-level lathe operator, is considered a pillar of the workshop.

As the highest-ranking worker in the team, no one cares how long he smokes as long as he completes his tasks.

After all, some complex parts require high-level workers to complete.

The squad leader is not stupid, so he would never dare to offend Master Cui easily.

But at the team meeting this morning, he was severely scolded by the young team leader who was in his early twenties.

Because yesterday, the team's tasks were all very simple parts.

The parts that the team leader assigned to Master Cui can be made by a second-level worker.

This is also the squad leader's deliberate attempt to please Master Cui. Please help me when I am in trouble.

When there are no difficulties, I will let you relax for a while. We should understand each other.

Who would have thought that Master Cui couldn't complete such a simple part.

As a result, the team leader was called by the workshop director and scolded early in the morning.

Now that he was scolded, he would definitely vent his anger on Master Cui.

It seems that I have been too indulgent to Master Cui.

Master Cui is working hard at this moment. Although the parts are simple, they still need to be made one by one.

Not only that, this is yesterday's task after all, and there are a lot of tasks for today next to it.

Master Cui had been wanting to go out and smoke for a long time, but if he didn't complete the task today, he would be scolded again tomorrow morning.

When I thought about the young team leader who usually bowed and noded to me, he scolded me in front of so many people in the team in the morning.

Master Cui was extremely angry, but he was indeed in the wrong, so he could only bear it.

Therefore, Master Cui was in no mood to pay attention to the three apprentices assigned to him.

Zhao Dahai looked at his master's busy figure, especially the burnt yellow spot on his index finger.

I touched the pack of Daqianmen cigarettes that I bought this morning with great reluctance.

I want to get closer to my master and give him a cigarette to improve our relationship.

But looking at the master's gloomy face, he hesitated again.

The parts produced by Master Cui are indeed simple, just a simple gear shaft.

Chamfer the corners, turn the end face, and drill a center hole on the end face.

Then turn it over and repeat on the other side.

The chamfering requirements are not high, just check it with your eyes. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the overall length is within the required tolerance range.

After less than half an hour of reading, Zhao Dahai had understood it. Then he picked up the process drawing on the workbench and started to look at it.

The theoretical training was not in vain. At least Zhao Dahai could understand the drawings of the simple process made by Master Cui.

Zhao Dahai already knows how to use a caliper to measure the entire length. Zhao Dahai feels that if all car factories produce parts like this, he might have to become a regular employee in advance.

Master Cui glanced at Zhao Dahai and at least he knew to look at the process drawings, which showed that he was thoughtful.

But it was the first time for everyone to meet, so they were not familiar with each other. To say that Zhao Dahai had good intentions was just that.

After the three apprentices stood there for an hour, many workers had already taken them to the smoking room.

Master Cui also wanted to go, but after looking at the parts, he estimated that it would take another half an hour to complete yesterday's task.

After hesitating for a moment, I thought to myself that it was the last bit of work I had to do before going to the smoking room.
