After a simple rebirth

Returning to my life as a summer intern, I still suffer more from work.

That boy came later than Fu Ying, but learned faster than Fu Ying. The model that Fu Ying could make 120 times, that boy could make 150 times. Fu Ying, who was last, deserved to be scolded.

The regular workers who were paid by piecework were all making larger models, because the unit price was higher and they could earn two or three hundred yuan a day, while Fu Ying was always making the smaller ones. But it didn't matter, as they thought, Fu Ying was paid by the hour, so there was no conflict of interest.

But one night when Fu Zhe wanted to get off work at 8:30 and was about to abduct Fu Ying, their team leader pulled her aside and spoke earnestly.

"You are paid by the hour for your summer job, so you have to work overtime to get higher pay. It was fine that you didn't work overtime on the weekend last time, but why are you leaving get off work so early these days like your brother?"

"Team leader, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest for a while. It's just right to do some summer homework."

"It's okay to take a break, but you are the older sister, you should persuade your brother. Boys grow faster when they endure a little hardship. You can make more money to support the family during the summer vacation so that you can live a better life."

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to him. I'm really tired today. I've been pulling the line so hard that my hands are cramping. You see, I can't even keep up my speed today."

Since Fu Ying said so, the team leader had no choice but to let her go, but he did not forget to tell her,

"Then remember to work overtime this weekend!"

Fu Ying nodded and said, just add it, we’ll talk about it later.

We did work overtime on the weekend, but all the people in the winding group were transferred to the assembly group to help, because they said they were too busy with assembly and had to ship the goods quickly.

Fu Ying followed an older sister named Tang to help. Fu Zhe made that sister very happy and also took care of her at the same time.

She just helped to fix the silicon steel sheets, and then used a ruler to mark the fixed thickness, and put them in groups. Then, according to Sister Tang's request, she folded the edges of the insulating paper and put them in place.

In fact, Fu Ying felt that the time spent helping out outside passed much faster than in the winding group, but Fu Ying listened to the arrangements. The good thing about summer jobs was that she didn't have to face doing a lousy job that she didn't know how long she would have to do.

Two days later, Fu Zhe suddenly spoke to Fu Ying mysteriously.

"Second sister, I heard that your winding group is going to be disbanded, and everyone will be split into other groups."

"No way, there are still so many goods. I see they are working overtime every day."

"We can't produce so many coils even if we work overtime. The assembly department needs thousands of them, but they can't wind them. I heard that they have already purchased them from outside. The new coils made today were bought from outside. Sister Tang and the others said that they are easier to knock in than the ones you wound."

Fu Ying nodded. The production was indeed in an awkward situation. Fu Ying had also heard from her team members that their production speed could not keep up with the demand. However, the coils were based on orders. Although they would wind some coils in the off-season and reserve them, it was impossible to match the orders.

This resulted in the problem that when they needed something urgently they couldn't come out and had to purchase it from outside, and during the off-season they had slightly more staff than the quota.

There are seven people in the winding group, including Fu Ying's summer job, which is almost as many as the number of assemblers.

But none of these have much to do with Fu Ying, she can work anywhere.

Moreover, a group will not be disbanded so easily, as there are so many machines in it. The winding coils are needed for experiments by the R&D group, and there are other small orders, which cannot be purchased entirely from outside.

Fu Ying just let Fu Zhe do his work, don’t interfere and don’t spread rumors, let them decide the management matters themselves.

Fu Zhe nodded. He just wanted to listen to the gossip and tell Fu Ying about it.

Towards the middle of August, the winding group did not work overtime for two consecutive days because there was no urgent need for coils, and the people who were transferred to provide support also went back.

On Monday, the team leader told Fu Ying that it was busier outside, so Fu Ying would be transferred out to help first. As long as she was not notified, Fu Ying would provide support outside first.

Fu Ying nodded, and followed Fu Zhe to the assembly every day to help Sister Tang.

One day, Fu Ying had some free time and went to the toilet quickly.

There is a staircase next to the toilet, which is also the safety passage. Smoking is not allowed in the toilet, so those people smoke in this position.

Fu Ying happened to take a look when she passed by and saw Fu Zhe puffing out smoke.

Fu Zhe was originally sitting on the stairs. He immediately stood up and called her "Second Sister". He felt like he wanted to explain but couldn't find the words.

Fu Ying ignored him and continued to go to the toilet.

After Fu Ying came out, she continued to be busy, and Fu Zhe didn't dare to come over. It was not until the lunch break at noon that he took the initiative to talk to Fu Ying.

They originally planned to take their lunch home, thinking they could lie down in bed and take a nap, but it was too hot and sunny to go home at noon, so they simply ate in the factory and washed the lunch boxes, without having to worry about forgetting to bring them.

Then they would sit in the workshop and sleep on their arms, or find a cardboard to lie on. This is what they learned after they saw someone sleeping in the workshop.

Although the factory has dormitories, they are six-person dormitories for naps. Fu Zhe said it was boring to lie on the bed, but he didn't want to bring a mattress because it was too troublesome.

Fu Ying had also gone up there, but her dormitory might be occupied by someone long-term, and the door was locked, so she couldn't even get in. The most important thing was that her dormitory was on the sixth floor, and she had to climb three more floors to get to work. Fu Ying didn't want to climb so much, so she simply went back to the workshop.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting near the workstation.

"Second sister, I seldom smoke."

"When did you learn it?"

Fu Ying thought Fu Zhe had not yet learned how to smoke, but she didn't expect that he had already learned it. Judging from the way he held the cigarette and exhaled smoke, it must have been quite a while.

Maybe because all the men around me smoke, I don’t have anything against smokers.

Fu's father didn't agree with Fu Zhexue smoking, but this kind of thing is not a matter of agreement or disagreement. Let alone the influence of schoolmates and friends, Fu's father himself is an old smoker and can't quit smoking, not to mention that Fu Wei is young and his addiction to smoking is even worse than Fu's father.

In this kind of environment, isn't it normal for Fu Zhexue to smoke?

"I learned it when I was in the first grade of junior high school, when I went out to play with Yang Jie and the others." Fu Zhe replied.

Fu Ying suddenly realized that she thought Fu Zhe learned this skill after he dropped out of school in his previous life, but she didn't expect that he had learned it a long time ago. It seems that he is not addicted to smoking. She has never found him smoking secretly in his hometown for so long.

"Smoking is a bad behavior. It harms your body. For me, it forces me to inhale secondhand smoke, which also harms my body.

But it is not a criminal act, and you don't have to feel guilty or as if you have made a big mistake.

Some people think that smoking and drinking are necessary social activities for men, but this varies from person to person, and everyone has the right to choose their own hobbies.

I won't judge you for smoking, it's your right, but I hope you think clearly whether you really like this way of smoking. "

Fu Zhe nodded, thinking that Fu Ying would scold him, but Fu Ying only said these words.

Seeing that he understood, Fu Ying lay down and fell asleep.

A week later, one or two people occasionally came out to help with the wire winding. They must have been even more idle. They also told Fu Ying that the new boy had been absent from work for two days. They didn't know if he was not going to work anymore.

Fu Ying was neither surprised nor not surprised. She heard from them that they had asked the boy and learned that his family owned a factory and he ran out to work because he didn't want to inherit the family business nor study.

Now he couldn't bear the hardship of working in a factory, and he didn't know whether to go home and work in his own factory, or to go to school. But Fu Ying didn't know him well, so she just listened to him.

For the rest of the time, Fu Ying helped with the assembly.

To be honest, in terms of learning things, I learned more about assembly, because it can be done in any position.

Fu Ying was assigned to fold the insulation paper, cut the insulation paper according to different sizes with a machine, and help Sister Tang to knock on the motor and measure the resistance. She also learned that the coils should be assembled in order from small to large.

One day during dinner, Fu Ying couldn't help talking to Fu Zhe.

"Fu Zhe, aren't you assembling now? Do you know how much Sister Tang earns a month?"

"She has been an employee for many years. I heard she was promoted to a senior position. She earns at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month. If she works overtime a lot, it can be over 10,000 yuan."

"Yes, it sounds high, right? But the prerequisite is that you have to be an experienced worker and willing to work overtime every day.

Think about the engineers on the fourth floor. They have academic qualifications, knowledge and skills, and their initial salary is already 6,000 yuan, not to mention that they will be promoted to higher levels in the future and have longer working experience, so their salary will only go higher.

Sometimes what mom says may be too straightforward and boring to listen to, but the idea is right. I would like to take this opportunity to advise you. You are about to enter the third year of junior high school. After high school, we definitely want you to go to college. If you can graduate from college, your salary will definitely be higher than that of ordinary workers. The salary of graduating from a key university is different from that of an ordinary university.

It doesn’t mean that you will definitely have a high salary after graduating from university. This is definitely not absolute, but it does mean that you will have more possibilities.

Take my brother-in-law for example. He is about to be promoted to team leader, and he has been doing this for six or seven years. He is a very experienced worker. If he had education and was in another position, he would be promoted even faster. But suppose he doesn't want to work in this factory anymore, or the factory has closed down, and he still wants a high salary, so he can only work in this industry, because he has no other skills.

But with a university degree, people will believe that you have the ability to learn and know more, so even if you don’t have experience, it’s not such a big problem. Although you have to start all over again to gain experience if you switch to another industry, it’s easier in the end.”

"Yeah, I know." Fu Zhe nodded seriously.

Fu Ying knew when to stop. To be honest, Fu Zhe might not be able to make a name for himself in society, but he doesn't have to worry about interpersonal relationships.

After finishing work on the 25th, Fu Ying and Fu Zhe stopped working. Wang Jun was already waiting for them to have a holiday, and he sent Wang Cong and them back together.

Originally, the salary was not due until next month, but Fu Ying couldn't wait that long and her mother didn't have time to come and collect the cash, so after negotiating with the HR department, the company was willing to pay these summer workers in advance.
