The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 756: Dog-head guillotine, Yi Zhonghai’s four losses, Yi Zhonghai’s suspicion of Jia Dongxu
Inside the fitter's workshop.

When Jia Dongxu heard Yi Zhonghai's shout, he was stunned.

It was not until Yi Zhonghai shouted again that he reluctantly walked to the 6-meter shearing machine.

For nothing else.

Just because he has no idea how to operate this thing.

"Dongxu, start checking the shearing machine." Yi Zhonghai was not familiar with the shearing machine. Recalling Zhou Gong's operation, he pretended to check the lubricating oil, V-belt, and shearing groove.

"Hey, there are a lot of iron filings in this groove, which will obviously affect the cutting accuracy."

Yi Zhonghai smiled proudly, took out a small brush, and squatted under the shearing board to clean the groove.

Jia Dongxu rolled up his sleeves and pretended to check the gears, knobs, and switches.

"Why is there engine oil on this switch? This is so unrefined."

"Nonsence."

Spitting on the key switch, Jia Dongxu raised his sleeve and rubbed it against the key switch.

"Hey, now it's clean and shiny, snap"

The key switch was triggered.

Boom, boom, boom. Along with the rotation of the gears, the huge shear plate fell from the sky and fell straight towards the shear plate groove.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was still stretching his head to clean the shear groove!

Deputy Factory Director Chen was wondering about Li Aiguo's background and didn't pay any attention to Yi Zhonghai at all. By the time he noticed him, it was too late.

Li Aiguo was staring at Jia Dongxu at this time, wondering if this guy would die today.

When he saw the shears coming towards Yi Zhonghai's neck, his eyes widened.

Has the plot changed?
The workers who were watching were quite far away, so they couldn't help even if they wanted to.

Xu Damao clenched his fists excitedly: "Chop off the dog's head! Chop off the dog's head!"

In the blink of an eye, a big foot wearing black cloth shoes stretched out from the side and kicked Yi Zhonghai on the butt.

The one who took action was Zhou Gong.

He has not left after taking the assessment and is closest to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was kicked out and barely avoided the falling shears.

Even so, his scalp was still scratched by the shears.

This thing was extremely sharp, and the moment it fell, it took away a large piece of Yi Zhonghai's scalp.

There was a moment of dead silence in the machinist's workshop, followed by a commotion and exclamations.

Yi Zhonghai's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

His hands were shaking, and blood was oozing out from between his fingers.
Yi Zhonghai's body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, and a gurgling sound came from his throat, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Jia Dongxu stood there in a daze, his eyes wide open, staring at the falling shears.

Deputy Factory Director Chen was also terrified. If an accident occurred during the assessment, he, as the examination team leader, would also be to blame.

He strode over and kicked Jia Dongxu on the butt, knocking him to the ground.

"What's going on? You're being so reckless, this is no joke!"

Jia Dongxu burst into tears, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground: "I... I didn't mean to do that, I was just checking the switch..."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Chen became furious and was about to kick a few more times, but several examiners rushed up to stop him.

Deputy Director Li was very proud at this time. He stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said, "Ahem, Lao Chen, I know you are very angry, but I advise you not to be angry. Our exam still needs to go on."

Yi Zhonghai was still covering his head at this moment, he immediately stood up and said: "Yes, yes, we still have to take the exam."

Deputy Factory Director Chen was also shocked by Yi Zhonghai's spirit: "Master Yi, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Yi Zhonghai took off his coat and wrapped it around his forehead, waving his big hands and making a whirring sound: "I'm an old worker, this little injury is nothing to me."

If someone didn't know him, they would really think that he was just slightly injured and refused to leave the front line.

Unfortunately.
Ignoring the bleeding scalp, Yi Zhonghai called over another apprentice and was about to go over to continue the exam.

Deputy Director Chen was also preparing to announce that the examination would continue.

Li Aiguo walked forward with his hands behind his back.

He looked at Deputy Director Li and said, "Deputy Director Li, I didn't expect the discipline in your steel mill to be so lax. Processing container bodies is very dangerous. I think there is no need for us to cooperate."

Li Aiguo wanted to cancel the cooperation right from the start.

Deputy Director Li was not a fool and he understood it immediately.

Deputy Director Li looked at Deputy Director Chen and said, "Old Chen, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu violated the safety operation regulations and made serious mistakes. I think they should be disqualified from continuing to take the exam."

Deputy Director Chen's face suddenly turned dark. He had personally promised the deaf old lady that he would take care of Yi Zhonghai.

However, the Qianmen Locomotive Depot wanted to cancel the cooperation at this time, and Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu really lost face.

He gritted his teeth and waved his hand at Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, you are disqualified from the exam. When you return, write a self-examination and submit it to the office."

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to give it a try and get the qualification of an eighth-level worker.

I was kicked out before the exam even started.

He became anxious at that time.

"Director Chen, it was Jia Dongxu who made the mistake, not me." Yi Zhonghai said, "You also know that my family is in financial difficulty and I am the only one who earns money.

I have an old woman to support, and I also have to support the old lady next door who has poor eyesight."

Li Aiguo was wondering why Yi Zhonghai wanted to snatch Qin Huairu's lines, but now he understood. He looked at Deputy Director Chen with cold eyes.

It seems that Deputy Director Chen is the one who supports Yi Zhonghai behind the scenes.

How could Deputy Factory Director Chen not understand that Yi Zhonghai was warning him? He immediately became angry and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you two, the master and the apprentice, have seriously violated the safety discipline. You will be suspended from work from today to reflect on your actions and attend a safety education class!"

Seeing that Deputy Director Chen was angry, Yi Zhonghai realized that he had completely lost the opportunity to take the assessment this time.

He glared at Li Aiguo fiercely, turned around and staggered out of the workshop.

Jia Dongxu jumped up from the ground and followed behind Yi Zhonghai: "Master, wait for me!"

"You still have the nerve to call me master." Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to give Jia Dongxu a good beating, but as soon as he lowered his head, blood flowed down his clothes.

Jia Dongxu took the opportunity to pull Yi Zhonghai's arm and said, "Master, I accept your beating and scolding. But let's go to the hospital now."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu, whom he treated as his son, but in the end he did not slap him.

"Dongxu, please be careful next time."

After Yi Zhonghai left, the assessment continued.

There are many talented people in the steel rolling mill, but the requirements for level 8 workers are too high.

In the end, only two masters, Zhou Gong and Huang Zhang, were successfully promoted from level 7 workers to level 8 workers.

There was warm applause.

Li Aiguo walked up, congratulated the two masters, and invited them to join the container production work.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot offered good treatment and this mission was an important one, so the two masters agreed without hesitation.

After securing the forgers, Li Aiguo entrusted Deputy Director Li to select a group of seventh and eighth level forgers and welders from the factory to participate in the production work.

Li Aiguo entrusted the on-site production management work to Master Zhou Gong.

"Master Zhou, how long will it take to produce the first batch of 26 20-foot containers?"

Zhou Gong took the cigarette from Li Aiguo and said with a smile: "With so many master chefs, we can complete the production work in two weeks."

With two weeks to go, it seems that it is time to put the application for a container patent on the agenda.

Li Aiguo was riding his bicycle to leave the steel mill.

However, before leaving, he called the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and applied for a batch of refined white flour and twenty big roosters.

Trucks loaded with supplies quickly arrived at the steel mill.

Li Aiguo found Deputy Factory Director Li and made a suggestion: "In order to ensure the nutrition of the workers, this batch of refined white flour and roosters should be given to the canteen for the workers in the centralized box production."

It has refined white flour and a big rooster, which is even more sumptuous than the meal in a small kitchen.

Deputy Director Li gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of the railway big brother, rest assured, these materials will never be wasted."

Although Deputy Director Li is not a good person, he is very capable in doing things, so Li Aiguo is not worried.

After chatting for a while, he rode his bike back to the studio.

By this time, the news of the special supply of materials had spread.

The workers in the workshop all looked envious and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

"We get 2 taels of cornmeal every day. We can even have meat at noon. Even the factory leaders get this much. The treatment of this production team is too good."

"Yes, if I were not only a fifth-level blacksmith, I would also like to sign up."

Liu Haizhong was hammering the chopping board when he heard the discussions and hurriedly called his apprentice over.

"Xiao Wang, what kind of meat? Can we have meat for lunch?"

"Master, you misunderstood. Only the masters who produce containers can eat meat. The meat is sent from the Qianmen Locomotive Depot." The young apprentice explained the matter.

There was some regret in the bangs.

As a sixth-level blacksmith, he was qualified to sign up for the container production work, but he was worried about being punished, so he avoided it in advance.

That's meat. Liu Haizhong has been eating cabbage and radish every day for the past six months and doing heavy physical work. He can't stand it anymore.

"Hey, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have offended Li Aiguo a while ago."

Liu Haizhong shook his head regretfully, picked up the hammer and started working.

Deputy Director Li also started working.

He asked his assistant to invite Nan Yi to his office.

The assistant looked around and said in a low voice, "Director, this time we have several hundred kilograms of refined white flour and twenty big roosters. Driver Li is not here to watch, so we can leave some and no one will notice."

"You are too young." Deputy Director Li waved his hand without further explanation: "Go and call Nan Yi over."

The assistant still didn't give up. He thought that if Deputy Director Li could eat the chicken thigh, he could also drink some chicken soup.

"Even if we don't have to do anything, there's no need to look for Nan Yi. This guy has a stubborn and bad temper, just like a stone egg. There's no need to give such a good thing to him."

The chef can always steal a little while cooking, and handling this batch of ingredients is like distributing welfare.

"I think Chef Liu from the second canteen is pretty good, very sensible."

Deputy Director Li looked at his assistant and said in a deep voice, “It is because Nan Yi has a bad temper and does not show favoritism that I gave him the task of handling this batch of ingredients.

Only this kind of person can withstand the pressure from other leaders and ensure that refined white flour and meat are put into the lunch boxes of those workers. "

After hearing this, the assistant looked at Deputy Director Li with new eyes and flattered him: "Director, you are so fair and just."

"Go quickly."

The assistant responded and turned to leave the office.

Deputy Director Li looked at his back, narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "What do you mean by 'the great man does not avoid his enemies'? This is called making the best use of people.

People like Nan Yi have a very stubborn temper and are difficult to get along with on a daily basis.

But it is just right for this kind of rigorous work.”

Muttering quietly, he tapped his fingers on the table twice and frowned, “This assistant has been with me for two years.

Knowing me too well, this is too dangerous.

Maybe it’s time to get a new assistant.”

Assistant Liu didn't realize that just a few extra words he said had already caused Deputy Director Li to be wary.

He came to the cafeteria and told Nan Yi about Deputy Director Li's decision. Although Nan Yi didn't know why Deputy Director Li would give him such a good thing, he agreed without hesitation.

At noon, the rich aroma of meat wafted through the steel mill canteen.

The dishes at the cafeteria window were divided into two pots.

One pot contains boiled radish and cabbage in water, plus black steamed buns.

The other pot is fragrant chicken soup with white flour buns.

The workers had not yet left work, and Jia Dongxu rushed in from outside.

"Oh my goodness, I'm so lucky today." Jia Dongxu immediately perked up when he saw the chicken soup and steamed buns, and shouted to Nan Yi, "Nan Yi, give me some chicken soup and steamed buns.

You don’t know, I was exhausted just sending Master Yi to the infirmary for treatment.”

Worried that Nan Yi would be stingy, Jia Dongxu added: "Master Yi is injured, quite seriously, you should get him a chicken thigh."

After saying that, seeing that Nan Yi didn't move, Jia Dongxu reached out to grab the spoon to scoop up the chicken soup.

Nan Yi reached out and knocked Jia Dongxu's hand away, and half a spoonful of chicken soup spilled into the basin and splashed onto Jia Dongxu's clothes.

"Nan Yi, what are you doing!" Jia Dongxu was furious.

Nan Yi ignored him, picked up the spoon and scooped two lunch boxes of radish for him, and handed him two black steamed buns.

Jia Dongxu: "Nan Yi, I know we don't have a good relationship, but you can't do this to me!

If you don't allow me to eat chicken soup, I'll go to the factory manager and sue you!"

Nan Yi put down the spoon and said slowly: "These meat dishes are prepared for the masters who make the containers!"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu's attitude softened immediately, and he smiled and said, "Master Nan, I know you are a kind-hearted person. My master is indeed injured and needs nutrition. Please give him some chicken soup."

"Ma Hua, kick this guy out." Nan Yi knew Jia Dongxu's rogue nature and was too lazy to talk to him.

"You are so good, Nan Yi. We are neighbors in the same compound. You don't even help me. You have no conscience."

Ma Hua picked up a kitchen knife and walked out. Jia Dongxu was startled and ran away with his lunch box.

Jia Dongxu returned to the infirmary with the lunch box. Yi Zhonghai had already been bandaged and a thick layer of gauze was wrapped around his head.

"Master, it's time to eat."

Taking the lunch box from Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai's nose suddenly twitched twice, and he suddenly squinted his eyes to look at the chicken soup stains on Jia Dongxu's clothes.

But he didn't say much, just took the lunch box and started eating.

It's so frustrating that I can only eat cabbage and radishes after suffering such a serious injury.

In the afternoon.

Because of his injury, Yi Zhonghai took two days off and returned to the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I met the third uncle.

The third uncle greeted from a distance: "Old Yi, how are you, have you become an eighth-level worker?"

"Well, there was a small problem during the assessment."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to explain, but didn't know how. Halfway through his words, he sighed, turned around and rushed into the yard.

The third aunt came out of the house and came to the third uncle's side: "Old Yan, what happened to Old Yi? Look at the gauze wrapped around his forehead, it seems that he is injured."

The third uncle looked deeply at Yi Zhonghai's back, then retracted his gaze, stared at the third aunt and said, "Who knows? Don't meddle in other people's business.

The matter of our Jie Cheng cannot be delayed any longer, old woman, I will go to the Yexi switch station tomorrow and have a good talk with Jie Cheng."

When it comes to Yan Jiecheng's matter, the third uncle becomes extremely angry.

The relationship between Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Guifang became closer and closer.

Yan Jiecheng sent a message back a while ago, expressing his desire to marry Zhang Guifang.

The third uncle had no objection to the marriage between Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Guifang.

Compared with Yu Li, Zhang Guifang is the daughter of the commune party secretary and can be considered the daughter of a leader.

But the third aunt reminded the third uncle that Zhang Jinsheng might be a stingy person.

If we become relatives with such a family, the Yan family will definitely be dragged down.

The third uncle recalled Zhang Jinsheng's behavior when he came to the courtyard to deliver something last time.

Also woke up.

I asked relatives and friends to inquire about Zhang Jinsheng.

You wouldn't know if you didn't ask, but once you asked, it scared the third uncle.

Zhang Jinsheng was a well-known stingy man in the local area, and the fellow villagers gave him the nickname "Zhang Laokou".

It is said that whenever the commune's manure truck passed by his door, Zhang Jinsheng would run out to smell it.

It is Zhang Jinsheng’s routine to eat one salted duck egg for half a year.

The more the third uncle listened, the more he felt that this person was not a good person and he must not have anything to do with such a person.

In addition, Zhang Guifang is a member of the cooperative and does not have an urban hukou. Even if she has children in the future, they will not be able to obtain an urban hukou or a food grain certificate.

So the third uncle decided to break up the couple.

but.

Yan Jiecheng, however, is a stubborn person.

In the letter, he expressed that he had fallen in love with Zhang Guifang and wanted to marry her.

During this period, the third uncle has been trying to persuade Yan Jiecheng, but Yan Jiecheng is hiding in the wild creek switch station and cannot come back.

This matter concerns Yan Jiecheng's future happiness, so the third aunt did not dare to be careless: "I will go to the street office to get you a letter of introduction, so that you don't get stopped by the commune when you leave the city. Also, did you inflate your bicycle?"

"Ride a bicycle? That's such a waste. After dozens of miles, the tires will definitely be worn out." The third uncle shook his head and said, "I heard that there is a commuter bus in the locomotive depot. I'll ask Aiguo about it tonight.

Oh, and there’s no need to prepare dry food. When we get to the switch station, there will be corn cobs nearby, so I won’t starve.”

"That's a good idea." The third aunt was silent for a moment and nodded.

Are you kidding? She has to endure enough with just Yan Laoshen.

If there were another stingy Zhang, how would she live?

The sun sets in the west.

Li Aiguo was busy in the studio all day and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

When I learned that the uncle was going to take the commuter bus to Yexi Switch Station, I agreed without hesitation.

"Uncle, there will be a coal truck heading to Yexi at nine o'clock tomorrow. Just find me at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot."

"Oh, that's great, thank you very much, patriotic."

The third uncle was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.

Seeing Li Aiguo was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and stopped Li Aiguo.

"Patriotic, I heard that on the railway, the families of railway workers can ride the train for free"

Li Aiguo was a little confused: "Isn't this a free ride?"

"The key point is that the commuter bus is free in the first place."

Seeing that Li Aiguo was still confused, the uncle had to give an example: "When the leaders of our school go on business trips, if they ride bicycles themselves, although they don't spend any money, they can still get a five-cent transportation subsidy.

Now that I'm riding a free train, shouldn't you give me the transportation subsidy?"

Li Aiguo finally understood and had to admire the third uncle's brilliant idea.

"You, go back to sleep now."

"It's not even dark yet, why should I sleep?" the third uncle wondered.

Li Aiguo didn't answer him, waved his hand and pushed his bicycle away.

"Hey, explain it to me clearly." The third uncle jumped up and down.

Xu Damao jumped out from the side and laughed: "Patriotism means that your idea just now is a daydream!"

Uncle Three: “.”

Night falls.

Lights were turned on in every household.

When Yi Zhonghai was injured, an aunt was so distressed that she burst into tears. She took out the only egg in the house and made him a bowl of egg porridge.

After Yi Zhonghai finished his porridge, he thought about what happened today and slammed the table in anger.

“This time I spent a lot of effort to ask the deaf old lady to come forward and persuade Deputy Director Chen to help.

I had already been promoted to level eight worker, so it was a foregone conclusion.

Unexpectedly, this kid Li Aiguo suddenly came to the workshop.

I think this guy did it on purpose!"

The lady had understood the whole process and advised: "Old Yi, you can't blame them for being patriotic. After all, they just wanted to select excellent fitters. It was Deputy Director Li who made the decision on his own."

"Deputy Director Li."

When mentioning Deputy Director Li, Yi Zhonghai's mood became even worse.

He had already established a relationship with Deputy Director Li.

Now, because he wanted to curry favor with Deputy Director Chen, he also offended Deputy Director Li.

Not promoted to eighth-level worker.

Offended Li Huaide.

injured.

I also had to write a letter of apology for violating safety regulations.

Yi Zhonghai felt like he had lost four games.

He was feeling depressed when Jia Dongxu brought Qin Huairu and half a pound of wild vegetables to visit Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai seemed particularly cold towards the two of them. Before they had chatted for a few words, he said he had a headache, stood up and went back to the house.

"Dongxu, your master is in a bad mood today, don't mind it." An old lady stood up and sent Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to the door.

"How could I be angry? Auntie, the master is almost like my father."

After Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu turned and left, an old lady lifted the curtain and came into the room.

She sat on the bed, looked at Yi Zhonghai who was sulking, and said, "Old Yi, what's wrong with you? Dongxu didn't do it on purpose. How can you blame him for the accident?"

Yi Zhonghai leaned against the head of the bed and squinted his eyes: "At the beginning, I also thought that Jia Dongxu didn't do it on purpose.

But at noon, he got some chicken soup and drank it secretly without leaving any for me, his chef.

It's enough to show that he doesn't care about me at all."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai's voice became lower and lower: "Although Jia Dongxu is only a first-level worker, he must know the safe operating procedures in the workshop.

I think he deliberately flipped the switch to chop my head off."

After hearing this, the aunt couldn't help but shudder: "Lao Yi, don't talk nonsense without any evidence.

Jia Dongxu has no reason to murder you."

"As for the reason, I have been suppressing him for these years and not letting him get promoted. Does that count as a reason?" Yi Zhonghai's face became more and more gloomy. "My original intention was for Jia Dongxu's good. It would have been fine if he didn't appreciate it, but he actually wanted to harm me.

Also, Jia Dongxu is so scheming now, I have to be more careful in the future."

The old lady took a deep breath and her face turned ugly.

She was a little confused. Everything was clearly going according to Yi Zhonghai's plan, so why did it turn out like this?
