Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 2 Heaven Rewards Diligence
The third workshop of Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant is where Xu Qing works.

However, at this time it was empty.

Because he was an apprentice, Xu Qing couldn't make parts by himself with a fitter's bench.

The daily job is to help the master and other workers handle some unimportant details. At the same time, the master stands aside and studies while using the clamp table.

Therefore, Xu Qing would come half an hour earlier every day.

Figure it out for yourself.

After all, Master Zhang also has to support his family, so it is impossible to teach him hand in hand all day long.

In addition, it has been a principle since ancient times to teach apprentices and starve the master to death.

Although Lao Zhang is a good person, he only explained some core things, and Xu Qing had to figure out the rest by himself.

However, Xu Qing has basically mastered the technical essentials of being a fitter in just half a year.

Just wait until the spring of next year, when the factory organizes the fitter assessment, and pass it in one fell swoop.

Once you become a first-class fitter, your monthly salary can rise from 27 yuan to 35 yuan.

By the time.

Life will be easier.

Reuse the ability of 'dividing into two' obtained during time travel.

Divide the purchase in two.

In fact, Xu Qing only activated this ability at the beginning of last month, and he is not very clear about the specific use of the ability. Sometimes, he can't use it successfully.But it is always a good thing to have. Right now, he must use this ability to reduce the burden on his family.

But even so, he was still struggling to make ends meet, and had to tighten his belt to live.

There are two younger brothers and a younger sister behind him, and all three are studying.

The expenses are surprisingly high.

The second brother, Xu Aiguo, is in the second year of junior high school.

The third brother, Xu Fengming, just entered junior high school from Hongxing Elementary School this year.

As for the younger sister, Xu Xiaoya, she is still in the fourth grade of elementary school.It is the age of innocence and brilliance, and he likes to wear two black braids and act like a baby in front of Xu Qing, who is the big brother.

The three of them are all in the stage of body growth, so they cannot ignore nutrition.

Xu Qing divided the white flour, stick noodles, eggs, and other things that could be separated into two that he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, but it could only relieve the financial constraints.

This ability has a great flaw, that is, the original item can only be divided once, and it is invalid for money, food stamps, and meat stamps are fine.

This is what Xu Qing discovered by accident while using it.

The things distributed will be the same as the original ones, and the tickets will be exactly the same as the original tickets.

However, these tickets are only distributed by the factory when wages are paid, so Xu Qing usually has few opportunities to use this ability.

As for whether there is a limit to the number of times the ability can be used, Xu Qing hasn't figured it out yet, but it should be possible. After all, nothing can be used indefinitely, just like life has a length, but everyone is different.

In fact, Xu Qing also thought about asking someone to borrow things, and then using this ability to squeeze wool.

But the problem is, first of all, some things use this ability and it doesn't work.

He tried the benches in the room, but they didn't work at all.

On the contrary, the white flour bought back can be easily divided into two parts.

Besides, his parents are both dead now.Who would lend something to a half-old child like him, after all, he is not yet an adult.

In addition, in these years, everyone's pockets are tight, and their own lives are not good, so how can they borrow from others.

Xu Qing once borrowed food stamps from Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who lived in the same backyard. It wasn't much, just three taels.

As a result, the second uncle nagged for a long time, not only refused to borrow it, but also tricked the second aunt to come out and cry poorly.

After that, Xu Qing never borrowed anything from anyone in the compound.

Fortunately, the three younger brothers and sisters are more competitive, and their academic performance is very good, and they come back with awards every now and then.

This relieved Xu Qing a lot.

Now that his parents are away, Xu Qing, the eldest brother, has to take on the responsibilities of his parents.

Before anyone else came, Xu Qing used a clamp to make a part by himself.

Although the precision is still not as good as Master Lao Zhang's.

But according to the factory's factory standards, it is considered qualified.

Exhaling, Xu Qing wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

When I looked up, I saw my master, Lao Zhang, standing at the door of the workshop wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded shoes, holding a hard door in his mouth and stamping the snow on his feet.

"Wow, boy, I didn't expect it to snow today, and I came so early, I'm promising!"

Old Zhang grinned, took a drag on his cigarette, and saw the parts in Xu Qing's hand.

Immediately walked over.

After playing with it in his hands, a look of surprise suddenly flashed in his slightly squinted eyes.

"You did it?"

"Um"

Xu Qing nodded.

Old Zhang laughed out loud.

"Not bad, it's already very good. It's better than what Li Dahuzi did back then."

"Li Dahuzi, that little bastard, worked as an apprentice for three years and studied with me for three years before he could barely make a qualified job. I didn't expect that you surpassed him in just half a year, haha."

"After the New Year, when the factory takes the assessment next year, Master will sign up for you."

Xu Qing grinned and said nothing.

Lao Zhang continued to play with the parts Xu Qing had just made.

While smoking, he took it outside the workshop door and looked at it in the light.

After looking at it carefully for a while.

Lao Zhang was secretly surprised.

I feel that what Xu Qing is doing is almost catching up to his level.

Whether it is the precision of the thread or the grinding, it is excellent.

It's not comparable to Li Dahuzi.

If he hadn't taken it out to see, he almost punched his eyes just now.

Seeing that Xu Qing was able to master it in such a short period of time, Lao Zhang was still very happy.

After all, the number of apprentices he had taught was not fifty, but thirty.

But no one has been able to make such a good part during his apprenticeship.

He turned his head and glanced at Xu Qing who was busy packing his things.

Lao Zhang suddenly fell in love with Xu Qing from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of which, Xu Qing is the smartest among the apprentices he has ever brought up!
It's easy to understand, and it's easy to understand.

There is absolutely no need to repeat it a second time.

And he works seriously and never slacks off.

Compared with those apprentices he brought in the past, they are all better.

Looking at the snowflakes that are still falling in the sky.

Lao Zhang threw the cigarette butt into the snow.

Suddenly remembered that Xu Qing seemed to be seventeen this year.

It's the end of the new year, but it's only eighteen, and it's almost the age to marry a wife.

I thought that Xu Qing was the smartest and smartest among the many disciples I had brought, and his temper was also to my liking.

Lao Zhang secretly thought: Otherwise, betroth his sixth daughter to him.

Although Xu Qing dropped out of school halfway, it was a pity that his parents were gone.

But I had a pretty good relationship with Xu Qing's parents before, and since Xu Qing became an apprentice with me, I have been getting along well with each other during this period.

Didn't notice anything wrong with it either.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhang decided to go back and discuss the matter with his wife at night.

It’s lunch time in the cafeteria.

Xu Qing met Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu also saw Xu Qing, but he didn't know if it was because of what happened in the morning or what.

She took the initiative to pull Xu Qing in front of her and stood in the line.

This made Xu Qing feel a little embarrassed.

Qin Huairu put both hands on Xu Qing's shoulders and said in a low voice:

"It's okay, just stand here, don't be afraid."

Xu Qing didn't say anything when he saw that the person in charge of the meal window was Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu both live in the middle courtyard. Qin Huairu has Sha Zhu's support, so naturally he is not afraid.

Xu Qing ordered two taels of stewed radish with cabbage and two taels of corn bread with stick noodles.Holding a large enamel bowl, he found a table away from the entrance of the cafeteria and sat down.

Although the food is not very good, it can fill the stomach anyway.

The natural disasters that have not been completely eliminated at present have made the whole country very difficult, and it is a blessing to be able to eat corn bread.

Besides, Xu Qing is not picky about food either.

Anyway, no matter what you eat, it’s not all about filling your stomach in the end.

Taking a big bite of the steamed bun, Xu Qing picked up a large piece of cooked white radish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

After eating, my body immediately warmed up a lot, and the chill was dispelled.

Holding the bowl, Xu Qing poured another large bowl of rice soup. He said it was rice soup, but it was actually similar to a bowl of hot water, and the rice grains in the bowl could almost be counted.

However, Xu Qing didn't care, and drank it down his stomach.

Holding the bowls and chopsticks, he turned and walked out of the cafeteria.

At this time, the snow has stopped, and the huge factory area is covered with a layer of white snow, which makes this winter look even colder.

The northwest wind howled, and the snow that fell on the trees fell straight down.

Xu Qing tightened his cotton-padded jacket, held the bowl and chopsticks, and ran back to the workshop quickly.

　Thank you for your comments. The unreasonable parts have been modified.

　　Regarding the codes of various tickets such as food stamps, including bicycle tickets, etc., I have checked the information specifically, and some have codes, and some have no codes. They are not universal tickets, and the rules are different in each place.

　　This is my first time writing, so some places are not well thought out. Please bear with me. If found, I will make corrections in time.
