If this love becomes a memory

【32】

"Scared you again? Why are you so timid tonight?" Xiao Yi teased.

The monkey regained his composure, calmed his heartbeat, and said, "I have nothing to be afraid of. I don't understand what you said."

"It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, you shouldn't take things you shouldn't take."

"What did I take? Didn't the factory director's office lose anything? The security department also said that it was done by people outside the factory."

"Did I mention that theft? I've been telling you about the strange things in the drawers of various departments." Xiao Yi laughed silently.Houzi didn't make a sound, hating himself for getting in so carelessly. He wasn't afraid to tell Xiao Yi frankly. After a few months, even if Xiao Yi went to report, as long as he refused to admit it, what could he do?He was just curious how Xiao Yi would suspect him, so he asked, "How did you think it was me?"

Xiao Yidao: "At first I didn't expect it to be you. It was the theft that exposed you. There were three people in the office at that time, the director of the factory office, the secretary, and me who was temporarily borrowing. We arrived at the office almost at the same time that day. After opening the door, we found all the drawers. All were pried, and the room was turned into a mess. Everyone counted their things. Except for the secretary who lost an old BB machine, nothing valuable was lost. The director reported to the company's security department. There are obvious signs of climbing on the wall at the back, and there are special laterites left outside the wall of the office building and inside the office. From this, it is determined that people outside the factory climbed over the wall, climbed up the drainpipe, and entered the room through the window to steal. Because Nothing was lost, the factory department asked the economic police to strengthen patrols, and all units pay attention to anti-theft, and this matter passed quickly."

Monkey giggled, he was always satisfied with his design. "Isn't all of this so reasonable? What's wrong?"

"When I was packing my things that day, I had a strange feeling. If the thief was doing it for money, why didn't he take the computer and camera? For a certain document? The factory office has no secrets. It's fun to play pranks? And the whole scene gave people a sense of Exaggerated impression, like my drawer, there is nothing in it, it is clear at a glance, why did it turn so messy, and pulled out most of it? There is also red soil on the indoor floor, it didn’t rain the day before, I don’t know what to wear The most strange thing is that there is a rope tied to the fixed bracket next to the drainpipe. If the thief climbed up from the drainpipe and went down the same way after committing the crime, what is the use of that rope? Hanging things Go down? The office didn't lose any big things. So, I checked the drain pipe carefully, and I understood it after seeing it."

Xiao Yi stood up and said to the monkey, "Go, go and see your masterpiece."

The two came to the back of the office building. In the darkness, the drainpipe looked like a long snake, fixed by several brackets in the middle, and stretched smoothly from the roof to the ground.Xiao Yidao: "Now you can climb a section and try."

The monkey looked at Xiao Yi suspiciously, put on a posture and began to climb, but it was in vain after several attempts.It turned out that the pipe was tightly attached to the outer wall, and it was impossible to hold it with both hands and exert force upwards.

"Now you should know where the flaw is?" Xiao Yi said again, then walked back to the steps in front of the building and sat down. "If there is any gap between the drainpipe and the outer wall, you can hold it with your hands, or climb up with foreign objects, but this pipe is naturally close to the outer wall, seamless, and several fixed brackets are separated. Nearly four meters, that is to say, it is impossible to climb to the window of the director's office on the fourth floor from below, but it is possible to slide down from above. I made a bold idea that the rope was actually used by thieves. To protect your own safety rope, the gentleman on the beam is quite safety-conscious. Am I right?"

The monkey screamed inwardly. In order to make the scene realistic that day, he did come down from the drainpipe, but before he got down, he looked at the dark ground and was a little apprehensive, fearing that he would fall by accident.So I found a rope, fixed one end to the bracket, tied the other end to my waist, supported the wall of the pipe, and slowly slid down the ground, but I didn't expect that the drain pipe could only go down but not up.He scratched his head and said, "I still don't understand, how could you think it was me."

"Find out the problem of the drain pipe, and everything will be solved. Since you don't enter the office through the window, you can only enter the office through the door, and the door of the office is locked after work, and you have to use a key to open it. It is reminiscent of the strange things in the drawers of other departments, I don’t believe it is caused by foreign objects, the door and window drawers are well locked, because the perpetrator is proficient in locks.” Xiao Yi said and turned to the monkey. "I've been to your house twice, and found that your house has so many locks, almost all the drawers are locked. The first time your sister wanted to show me her photo album, but she couldn't find it, so she kept opening the drawers. The cabinet, and she used the same key to open those locks. At that time, I thought those locks were useless. After a closer look, I found that the locks were all right. Your brother-in-law Xie Sanli explained that after your sister got sick, she liked to go around Lock things, but you keep losing the keys, so you try to modify the locks so that my sister can open all the locks with one key. I have learned from fitters and made keys. It is also possible to share a padlock with a key. But how do you change the lock cylinder of different types of drawer locks and use the same key? I haven’t figured it out yet. So, for you, an expert, it’s easy to open the door and lock it , you have the conditions to commit a crime.

I also recalled a detail. Once you and Xie Sanli talked about the factory leader, you said that the factory manager smoked a certain brand of high-end cigarettes, because we don’t have such high-end cigarettes on the market here. Out of curiosity, I They all pay attention to the cigarettes the factory manager smokes, and want to see them.But I found out that he smoked 20 yuan or so, until I was seconded, and one day I went to his office to get documents, and there was a customer. He opened the cabinet, took out a cigarette, and said that he was reluctant to smoke after a long time. Just took out to entertain distinguished guests.That cigarette is the brand you mentioned. I wonder how you know that there is such a cigarette locked in the factory manager's cabinet?

Of course, this alone cannot be completely sure that you did it, that the rope you used as a safety rope betrayed you.The rope tied next to the bracket is tied with a knot. I saw your sister operate this kind of knot. It is very beautiful. It looks like a dead knot, but it is actually a loose knot. It is completely different from the knots tied by the people around you. Your sister said It was taught by your father when you were a child.But the knot on the rope is a little different from your sister's. The small circle that your sister turned out is to the right, and the small circle is to the left, which is exactly the same as the way to tie the shoelaces on your feet. Look at the pried open one. For the chest of drawers, the power point is on the left, because you are left-handed.At that moment I concluded that the thief was you. "

Hearing this, Hou Zi felt a little frustrated. He had been playing freely for more than two years without being discovered by anyone. The only time he stole was that he thought the layout was beautiful and he had fooled the security office, but the woman in front of him saw it through. He immediately said : "Don't be a thief, it sounds so ugly, I didn't steal anything."

"Then what happened to the secretary's BB machine?"

"The secretary was talking nonsense about losing some BB machine. There was none at all. He might want to blackmail the factory office to send him one."

"It's still not right, you must have stolen something." Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the director of the factory office bought a safe the next day after the incident, and you have been gloomy for several days. It's not that simple to fake a scene. Why? You are a big man, dare to do it or not?"

The monkey sighed, and said with a wry smile: "For more than two years, I have visited the desks of the leaders and managers of the Seventh Factory, peeking into too much filth and injustice. When it comes to money, there are tens of thousands of people in the official drawers I have never touched the piles of high-end cigarettes and alcohol in the cabinet. This time, they went too far. They spend all day drinking, eating, drinking, gambling, and messing around with money, which is called investment. In the end, the company The business situation is not good, but it is said that it is caused by the workers, layoffs and diversions, why have no officials been moved? Damn, this is a state-owned enterprise, and the workers are the masters.”

"What did you steal?" Xiao Yi interrupted impatiently.

"I said I didn't steal it, I took it." Monkey retorted plausibly, "I took 8000 yuan from the director's drawer in the factory."

"Why? Is there a problem at home, lack of money?"

"That's not true. If you don't take it, you don't take it. Do you think that the money came from the right way? With an office director, there are 10,000+ in the passbook. Where did he get so much money? And he obviously lost 8000 yuan in cash. Why? Hiding and not reporting? If I had known that he only reported to the company’s security department and not the Public Security Bureau, I wouldn’t have made such a big move, so I’d have taken it directly.”

"You, you don't know what to say." Xiao Yi stretched out his index finger, pointed at the monkey and stood up. "You have been in the ditch of the Seventh Factory for a long time, why is your head closed? It's a dynasty, and you are still the master of the house! How this world, this company, this factory will be changed is up to you and me. Flow can be left or right, and you can decide? Do you compare your dream of a big ghost in Spring and Autumn with someone else, can you compare? Not to mention that you have no evidence, even if the money really came from a wrong way, at most people will lose their jobs and dismissed. This mere 8000 yuan is enough to knock you out of your job and send you to prison."

"I know what you said makes sense, but I just can't figure it out," Monkey said.

"You don't need to figure it out. As a small worker, we have to put ourselves in the right position. All we can do is adapt to various changes, learn skills and skills well, straighten our backs, and look for opportunities to change our own destiny. I can't control what other people want, and I can't compare to it." Xiao Yi said, paused. "Also, I don't care what you did before. But now that you are my apprentice, I have taken care of some things. For example, your hobby of opening doors and locking locks will be limited to playing around at home from now on."

"You want to report on me?" the monkey asked with a playful smile.

"You know I have no evidence, and it's useless to report you. But I have a way to deal with you. If you don't believe me, try it."

"Do you threaten me?"

"Yes, I'm threatening you." Xiao Yi said seriously: "Think about it carefully, the security office may have done things hastily because they didn't lose anything. People can find you as if they were playing games. If something happens to you, what will your sister do? I heard from Xie Sanli that your sister committed suicide several times before she became ill. It was because of you that she survived, even if she lived like this .” After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he glared at him, turned and left.

Mentioning his sister, Houzi's heart became heavy, and he also slowly walked back behind Xiao Yi, the tall and thin figure in front stretched very long.That night, being threatened by a woman, or a woman younger than himself, who found out the secret, Monkey was very depressed, a little unwilling but also a little convinced.

After Hou Xiaoman was discharged from the hospital, he was sober for a while, and he resolutely proposed to divorce Xie Sanli. Monkey thought twice and stood by his sister. Knowing the inside story, he felt that her sister and Xie Sanli were together, which would be a kind of torture for both of them. .In addition, the Xie family gave a lot of love to the siblings in their childhood. Xie Sanli is only in his thirties, and he can still start a new life. Therefore, regardless of Xie Sanli's objections, the monkey helped his sister get divorced. Since then, the siblings have depended on each other for life. .

After Xiao Yi talked with Monkey that night, the two of them walked together at midnight during the middle shift. On weekday evenings, Xiao Yi took Monkey to play chess until late at night. Monkey was grateful for Xiao Yi's painstaking efforts.Slowly, not only Hou Xiaoman likes to go to Xiao Yina, but the monkey also runs there when he has nothing to do.

Once, Xiao Yi praised Hou Xiaoman's poem, Monkey said sincerely: "You are really patient with my sister, thank you, master."

"I'm not being perfunctory. Sister Xiaoman's poems are written better and better."

"Why can't I understand?"

"You didn't pay attention."

"Master, what do you think of my sister?"

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think."

"It doesn't matter what my sister has done or who she is. I only know that she is my only relative in this world." The monkey said: "It is my responsibility to take care of my sister in the future. So master, I will not do anything I shouldn't do again. "

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "That's good."

"Is it okay to just hide it from her like this? What if she gets tired of writing poems that day?"

"Then let her paint or do something else, you have to keep hope for her, let her have something to think about." Xiao Yi said.

In this way, the two masters and apprentices played chess, talked and walked peacefully in their free time.Later, Huzi also came over from time to time, sitting and playing, and later, the goblin joined in, and Xiao Yi's place became a stronghold, and it became lively. In 2000, Huzi got married, and several masters and apprentices joined forces to lift Huzi to the position of chairman of the workshop union. That incident made Houzi admire Xiao Yi so much that he firmly placed the position of master in his heart.

Not long after Huzi became the chairman of the trade union, Xiao also asked Monkey about his future plans.The monkey thought about it seriously and said, "I plan to learn from other positions and compete for the small squad leader in the future."

"Well, according to the current way of doing things, the life of the workers will become more and more difficult in the future, so they have to move up." Xiao Yi said: "Next year a shift leader will retire, let's compete for the shift leader."

Although the bearded man is the first to succeed, the monkey still feels that it is unreliable. A shift worker can be the shift leader at the top.According to the usual practice, one has to learn all the positions to be eligible to compete for the small squad leader. After a few years in the small squad leader position, the relationship between all parties has been coordinated, and there must be a suitable opportunity before he can be considered for the shift leader.At that time, the monkey had only worked in the control center for more than two years, and had never learned other positions. He never thought about competing for the shift leader.

"Except for the older shift leader who will be retiring next year in the workshop, the other four shift leaders and ten junior squad leaders are all in their 40s and [-]s. I'm afraid there is no chance of getting promoted. If you are only a small squad leader, it is better to stay in the control position, because the small squad leader is only responsible for the production safety of the team. It’s all about it, and the income is not much more than the control position, so if you want to do it, you can be the shift leader, this time is a good opportunity.”

"But I haven't learned all the skills in my position, and I don't know how to manage them." Monkey said.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, our workshop director has been transferred for a few years, and up to now he still doesn't know anything about the workmanship on site. Isn't the workshop running well?"

"That's different. The director who doesn't understand production can be an official because he has a background. The workshop can operate because there are several deputy directors who understand production and five shift foremen."

"The reason is the same." Xiao Yi said: "As long as you are the shift leader, there will be two small shift leaders to assist you in production safety. You don't have to be proficient in each position, but you must understand, otherwise you will be dismissed by others. As for management, what is it? Management? It makes sense to be able to manage it well. Now that cats and dogs can be leaders and cadres, why can’t you monkey compete for shift leader? There are more than [-] people in a shift, what’s wrong with managing it?”

After Xiao Yi said this, the monkey also became more confident, and asked, "Then how can I be the shift leader? Do I go the way of the beard?"

"The road of Beard is not suitable for you. Nowadays, we pay attention to not playing cards according to common sense. Let's take the wrong path."

The so-called off-road refers to the six months when Xiao Yi used his spare time to study other positions with the monkey while squatting at the back door of the factory in turn. He discovered the economic problems of the workshop leaders from the vehicles leaving the factory and collected some evidence. Later, on a dark and stormy night, the master and the apprentice sneaked into the workshop office. Monkey unlocked the lock and Xiao Yi deciphered the code. In the astonishment of everyone, the ten small squad leaders who competed fiercely were exceptionally promoted to be the big shift squad leader.Then Xiao also asked him to keep the account books properly. If the current director is transferred in the future and there is a situation that endangers his shift leader, he can take the account book to someone in the branch factory department. Xiao also considered him very carefully.

After the monkey toured the scene, it was completely dark. He kept replaying the wisdom and courage of the master in his head, and couldn't help flashing back and forth the shadow of the master who he saw in the past few days grabbing bags with Duomi and crawling on the ground. Fat block.Thinking about going to the midnight shift tomorrow, he can go to Jiang Yicheng early in the morning the day after tomorrow, thinking to himself that he must seek justice from the master no matter what.At this moment, the cell phone rang, and it was Huzi calling, saying that he had arrived at the county seat
