Fengcheng old events

Chapter 99
Zhang Qing got off work the next day and brought a coworker back with him.

"This is Lao He, who is very good at making sewing machines. This is from my family." Zhang Qingzhi introduced it to the two people.

Lao He spoke slowly and softly, a few years older than Zhang Qingzhi, and about the same height as Zhang Qingzhi, a bit feminine.

Zhang Qingzhi went to make dinner, the fourth and fifth sons of the Sun family took Zhang Xingjun and Heihu to play in the yard outside, and Lao He taught Liu Guixin about sewing machines.

"This is an axial switch. Put down the cloth and move forward. You look at the stitches. If you want to pierce a few more times, such as the crotch, you can turn it up. Don't stop under your feet, you can't stop the needle.

When you pull it like this, you see, it sticks back.At this time, it is easy to break the wire and twist the wire when it stops.This is to control the speed, which is the size of the stitches. You see, this gear is a small stitch. Lift it up. Look, the stitches are big, right? "

Lao He sat on a stool to operate, and Liu Guixin stood aside and asked while watching. After Lao He talked for a while, he moved out of the way to let Liu Guixin operate.

"Your hand is too far forward, press the cloth with your hand and move forward along its strength, don't rush or push, let alone pull. When you send it to this place, you have to close your hand at the position of the lower box board, understand ? It’s dangerous to go any further.”

After Zhang Qingzhi finished cooking, Liu Guixin was able to handle Baba's cooking.

Old He got down and put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "If I were in the department store, I would definitely accept your wife as an apprentice, my soul, I'll understand when I say it."

Zhang Qingzhi was happy, happier than boasting about himself.

Liu Guixin asked: "Master He, why did you come into the factory again?"

Lao He waved his hand: "Call Lao He, don't call me master. At that time, there was a lot of sports, and the factory was safe, and my dad didn't dare to let me stay at the commercial port. You learn things quickly, you can learn cutting, and leave it to the left when you are free." The neighbors can sew a piece of clothing or something, and they can earn some pocket money."

Liu Guixin also put on his shoes and got off the ground, saying, "I really want to learn, but I'm afraid of being caught. I don't dare to make mistakes here."

Lao He said: "It's okay. Sewing clothes, fiddling with sewing machines, and mending these things are not in the tail of capitalism. They are legal labor production. People have to wear clothes, and not everyone can make and mend them. The fabrics in the store can't be repaired." If you can’t eat it, someone has to make it.”

Liu Guixin's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lao He nodded: "Really, otherwise I would have been arrested. I am repairing more than half of the machines in our castle. There are dozens of them. If you want to arrest me, you will be shot. Don't worry. If you want to Learn to tailor clothes and I will introduce you to an old tailor."

Liu Guixin nodded: "Learn, I will learn, and I will spend money to learn."

Lao He said: "There is no need to spend any money. You have to show your respect to the teacher, and you can just follow the study after you are done."

It was already dark after eating, so Lao He went home with his lunch box on his back.His home is on the tailings dam, and it takes more than an hour to walk from Zhang Qing's home.

There are clothing clubs and hair-shaving parlors in the fort, both of which are owned by state-owned collectives and run by the streets.There is also a bathhouse.Just behind the department store building, there is a row of large bungalows, which is also the center of the whole castle.

In fact, it is free for workers to shower and shave their heads. The factory also provides subsidies for non-staple food.Washing fees, non-staple food subsidies, are paid on a per capita basis. Although Zhang Xingjun has just walked, he has been living with two yuan and seventy cents a month since he was born.

Each workshop in the factory also has its own bath, and in addition, a bath ticket for the street bath is issued, which is for the family members.

But most of the family members go to the factory to wash.There is no one to take a bath in the factory bath, and there is no money, but there is a time limit for opening classes, and sometimes it is not so convenient.

The master tailor that Lao He mentioned is an employee of the garment club. The old tailor took two boxes of fruit and two packs of cigarettes from Liu Guixin, and did not mention the matter of recruiting apprentices. .These days I dare not accept apprentices, the four olds.

But it is the opposite in the factory now. The old workers and the new workers are all serious apprentices. They respect their masters everywhere, and they have to visit them during the New Year and holidays. This has become a glorious tradition.

Zhang Qingzhi's master, surnamed Li, is over 50 years old, not very talkative, and has very strict requirements on his apprentices. He is one of the few eight-level fitters in the factory.

When Zhang Qingzhi is not on business, he still works in the workshop and learns skills from his master.At this moment, I am really learning crafts, pliers, large board files, calipers, squares, and talc pens. Many equipment parts are processed by workers with one file at a time.

There are three sorting workshops in the concentrator. Zhang Qingzhi is in the maintenance class of the second selection, which is just at the entrance of the factory gate. Then there are the third and fourth selection workshops, and the fourth selection is on the middle of the mountain.

The No. [-] workshop only left a name, and even the equipment and personnel have been moved to HD, Hebei, which later became the HD Iron and Steel Factory.

Most of the machinery and equipment in the second selection workshop are from before the liberation. They are the batches installed and used by the Japanese received during the liberation. They are a bit old, the maintenance tasks are heavy, and spare parts are almost impossible to buy.

"Qingzhi, fix this." Master Li handed a part to Zhang Qingzhi.

The old man has worked in the factory all his life, from before liberation to after liberation, he has dealt with pliers and files all his life, and he can't remember the apprentices he led. Zhang Qingzhi is one of the apprentices he is more satisfied with.

Steady personality, high obedience, willing to learn and work hard, practical.

"I'm going back soon. I can't do it anymore when I'm old. From now on, it's up to you." The old man walked around the room with his hands behind his back. This is the rest room of the inspection team and also the studio. There is a processing table in the middle, and everyone's lockers are placed against the walls around it.

The room was filled with a strong smell of engine oil, and the rumbling sound of equipment running outside came in.

"The file must be stable and flat. You can't take it back and forth. You need to file once. You must have a pattern in your heart." The old man tapped the processing table with his finger: "There must be something in the head. What kind of steel do you use? A few cents, how many lines need to be used, when to change them, and the included angle, all of these have to be well known.”

"Don't underestimate these few files," the old man pulled the iron stool down and lit a cigarette: "Whether the things you make can work, how long they can last, and whether they run smoothly, may be the difference in that file." .It's a big deal."

Zhang Qingzhi nodded and carefully measured the piece with a caliper.

"Now you are almost done with processing work, what is lacking is experience, you, find time to learn welding work, I originally thought that your side is almost ready to take you, but the list is down, I am afraid I will run out of time. "

Zhang Qingzhi said: "I will find someone to learn from, and I will ask you if I don't understand. Don't worry, master, I will definitely learn."

Old Li nodded his head and said: "Don't worry about others, in this group, there are not many people who can work hard, they are just dawdling. Today's young people are not as good as one generation after another. Let's be workers and work hard. Good is the key, you have to remember. Everything else is bullshit."

Zhang Qingzhi nodded in agreement, the old man looked at the piece in Zhang Qingzhi's hand, and said, "It's almost there. Let's go, I'll take you to fiddle with the motor."

The master and apprentice came out of the lounge, went down the iron-welded stairs, and went down to the magnetic separation side.

The huge magnetic separator rotates slowly, driving the black-red mineral powder water flowing below, and the iron fine powder that is absorbed is demagnetized and falls on the conveyor belt passing through the middle of the magnetic separator. Sent to the mine trough.

Old Li took a screwdriver and handed it to Zhang Qingzhi, pointed to the huge motor next to the magnetic separator, leaned into Zhang Qingzhi's ear and said loudly, "Go and listen to the difference between these machines."

In the huge factory building, the machines roared, and it was impossible to hear the voice of the voice unless it was close to the ear.

Zhang Qingzhi walked over with the screwdriver, put the blade of the screwdriver on the machine, put his ear on the wooden handle and listened carefully.

After listening to several machines, Zhang Qingzhi returned to Old Li: "Master, there seems to be something wrong with the bearing bush of the No. [-] machine. I didn't hear it on the No. [-] machine, but it seems to be a bit worn out. No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], etc. It's okay."

The old man was a little happy, showing his yellow teeth and smiling.
