Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 7 Joining the Blacksmith Workshop
The next day, Zhao Xin returned to the house after his morning run and simply cooked some lean meat porridge.

When the meal just started, the third uncle was already eating steamed buns and getting ready to go out on his Erba Dagang.

"Uncle Yan is going to work!" Zhao Xin greeted.

"Yes, they are not as good as those of you in the steel rolling mill. Some of them are still asleep!" The third uncle smiled and got on the [-]th big bar and gradually walked away.

When Xin Zhao finished his meal, the people in the yard going to work at the rolling mill had already set off.The second uncle Liu Haizhong saw Xin Zhao also locked the door and immediately said: "Xin Zhao, let's go together, lest you don't know the way inside."

"Okay, thank you, Second Uncle." Xin Zhao said kindly.

Today he has to report to the steel rolling mill, and it is a good thing to have such a familiar person to guide him.

The steel rolling mill is a heavy industry enterprise, and its criticality is ranked high in the entire country, otherwise my future father-in-law would not hand it over.

A considerable part of the steel and other accessories produced here have gone into the Armed Forces. Perhaps a certain screw now forged is a part of a certain tank.

Liu Haizhong led Zhao Xin to the Human Resources Department, and Zhao Xin also presented his various certificates.

After applying for the entry and exit certificate, at eleven o'clock, Xin Zhao was taken to the junior forging workshop. There are three workshops like this in the entire rolling mill.

"Master Liu, this is the new blacksmith. Please take care of him." Someone from the personnel department greeted a master inside.

"Okay~" Master Liu agreed, glanced at Xin Zhao, and continued to do the work at hand.

Zhao Xin also came to Master Liu to watch.

Blacksmiths do not have much technical content. To be a blacksmith, you must first have a lot of strength. This is why Xin Zhao was able to obtain the status of a first-level blacksmith when he first joined.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, he has no problem being qualified as a first-level blacksmith.

The duty of the forge worker is to heat the metal material to a certain temperature and forge the workpiece or blank.

At this moment, Master Liu was wearing work clothes, with a towel hanging around his neck and a long clip in his hand.The other end of the clamp holds a piece of iron, and a certain part is being forged under the air hammer machine.

Xin Zhao sized it up, this Master Liu's hands are very steady, and that part is very similar to a piece of tank armor, of course it must be processed again.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the entire workshop. There were only 15 blacksmiths and himself in the workshop, so it was not crowded.After all, the most important things in the workshop are the furnace and various types of air hammer machines, as well as the pool for cooling.

Xin Zhao had already changed into work clothes, and he also received a new towel and an enamel cup.

Looking at the faucet beside the sink, Zhao Xin quickly stepped forward and wet the towel.In this environment, a wet towel is necessary, otherwise it will be too hot.

Next to him, he saw three hot water bottles and cups of the same model placed in a row with names written on them. Zhao Xin immediately put his cup among them, lifted the kettle and added water to it.

Filled all the water glasses and went to fetch water with two empty hot water bottles.

When he arrived, he asked about hot water being available at the faucet near the cafeteria.

When Xin Zhao returned to the workshop again, Master Liu was already taking a rest with a cup of water.

The two introduced each other, and perhaps Xin Zhao's actions of pouring and fetching water brought the two closer together. In short, in the following time, Master Liu patiently taught various things in the workshop.

During lunch, he took Xin Zhao to sit at a table.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Master Liu watched Xin Zhao skillfully forge a part blank, and was full of surprise in his heart: "Xiao Zhao, you have done it before!"

"No, but I was born in martial arts, and I was qualified as a first-class blacksmith when I first came here."

"No wonder, awesome, awesome."

The rolling mill starts work at [-]:[-] in the morning and ends at [-]:[-] in the evening, with a one-hour break between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-].

This is simply heaven compared to the so-called blessings of later generations.

The people in the same workshop breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the closing bell. Judging from their workload today, they were really busy. Of course, the main reason may be the heat.

Xin Zhao felt fine, maybe he was just busy for a while in the afternoon.

Xin Zhao went home directly. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a pile of adobe bricks outside his door.I didn't see the handover personnel at the brick factory, but I saw Lou Xiao'e.

"Xiao'e." A flash of surprise flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes.

"Brother Xin." Lou Xiao'e also shouted, but her voice was softer and her face was a little red.Xin Zhao knew this was because many people were coming in from the yard at this moment, and he immediately said: "Let's go inside first."

Open the door and lead Lou Xiaoe into the house.

After the two had a conversation, Zhao Xin found out that she had paid all the bricks.

Xin Zhao wanted to give it back to Xiao'e, but he didn't say anything, after all, that would be a big deal.

He took one of the keys out of his hand and took it from Lou Xiaoe's hand. I'll give you the key. Just go into the house next time you come.

"Yes." Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and he took her hand.

"Wait a minute." Xin Zhao let go of the hand holding the key and took the other hand.

He closed the door and pulled Lou Xiao'e to the bedside to sit down. He took out a cloth bag from under a tile on the ground.

Inside are sheets of unity, ten in total.

"Brother Xin, I won't take your money." Lou Xiaoe said quickly.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Xin pulled Lou Xiao'e to sit by the bed, then counted out six and handed them to Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the money in our house. I will keep the forty dollars and buy two bottles of wine in two days so that I can go see my parents."

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and nodded slightly, but did not refuse again.

"Okay, we have to open the door quickly, otherwise the people outside don't know what to think?" Xin Zhao got up, and Lou Xiao'e quickly followed.

However, the money was stored properly. Her family was not short of money, but she was actually short of money.Her parents have deliberately cut off her financially and will not give her much money.

Lou Xiao'e knew that this was for her own good.It’s hard to survive in this era of lavish spending, even if your family has gold bars and priceless heirlooms.After all, when going out to buy things, in addition to having money, you often also need to have tickets.

Zhao Xin opened the door and saw He Yuzhu outside talking to Xu Damao. He was gibbering, and it was not a good thing to say at first glance.

"He Yuzhu, what are you talking about?" Zhao Xin asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone is hiding in a golden house and doing it in broad daylight..."

Before he finished speaking, Xin Zhao flew up.One knee touches the leg, and the other hand pushes horizontally.

He Yuzhu had been knocked to the ground.

"If you want to practice with me, I'll accompany you, but don't talk nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense, it's obvious that you are in a room with your big girlfriend and you closed the door." He Yuzhu refused to accept, his chest was aching, he knew that this martial arts guy had done something secretly.

"That's my wife. I'll teach you a lesson today." Zhao Xin wanted to go up and hit him twice more, but when he saw Uncle Yi and the second uncle coming back, he stopped and took Lou Xiao'e back to the house, but this time It was not closed this time, after all, it was closed previously to withdraw money.

The two began to work together again, with Lou Xiaoe cooking and Zhao Xin moving soil.

There is no cement now, so it can only be replaced by fine soil turned into mud.

Xin Zhao had already spotted a place, and there was soil that could be used to mix the mud in a wasteland near the steel rolling mill.

I borrowed a rickshaw and only made two trips to transport it back.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e's food was also ready, and she cooked some noodles and fried two side dishes.

Lou Xiaoe asked Xin Zhao about his lunch meal. The food in the cafeteria was rice, so he made pasta in the evening.

After eating and drinking, it was already seven o'clock, and Zhao Xin sent Lou Xiao'e home.

After coming back, he started kneading mud and building a wall.

In this life, it is not the first time for Xin Zhao to build a wall, and he has done this job twice in the gap between martial arts training.

So even though he is still a novice, he is definitely good at building walls.
