Chapter 14: Homemade showers
Sioux City wanted a bathroom, or shower to be exact. In addition to his personal habits, he also hopes to improve the lives of the workers at the well station.
The work of oil extraction is tiring and dirty. Not to mention the work of crude oil leakage and underground maintenance, it is a normal outdoor operation, and at the end of the day, it is also full of dust.
But the well station of the oil production team only has a faucet, and the workers have stripped naked and poured it with a basin for many years, and there is nothing in the summer, and when the weather is cold, the cold water bath is enough to choke.
In addition, it is difficult to wash the oil with cold water, and if you don't want to run dozens of miles to the factory to take a bath, you can only endure the smell and fall asleep.
Oil extraction workers do the most basic and important work, but the conditions are the worst. Many people don't wait for retirement to be in Chapter 14: Homemade showers and insist on going to work.
Sioux City thought to himself, I can't change everyone's lives, but maybe I can change some.
Dou Wanshan also hoped that there would be hot water every day, but he could only shake his head and say, "People from our well team, who doesn't want to take a hot bath when they come back." But how expensive the boiler is, there is no money in the team at all. ”
Next to him, Lao Wu was picking his feet and said with a smile: "Su Gong is from the city, so I'm not used to it." However, we should have installed showers and boilers a long time ago. ”
Dou Wanshan thought about it and said: "We were more than halfway through last month, and I cried for two days with the factory director, maybe I could get a shower back, but there must be no boiler, so I can only use cold water." ”
"Lao Shi is a Pixiu, can he install a shower for you?" Lao Wu shook his head and said: "We have more than 20 oil production teams in the oil production plant, give you a set of showers, what about other oil production teams? ”
The more Su Cheng listened, the more wrong he became, and said: "We have our own tubing factory, what is the matter of producing a few steel pipes, how much can it cost to make a set of spray? ”
"How can you fix the boiler without it?"
"Get a tin bucket, put it on a high place, and boil the hot water, Chapter 14: Fill the homemade shower into the tin bucket, mix it with cold water yourself, and connect a pipe underneath, can't it be used as a shower?" Su Cheng said was actually the small bathhouse of the oil extraction team that he once used.
In later generations, oil production plants implemented the "five smalls" at the grassroots level, which were mobile small study houses, small medicine boxes, small sports fields, small toilets and small bathhouses. In areas with better conditions, toilets are equipped with septic tanks and bathhouses have boilers, but in areas with poor conditions, it is necessary to adapt to local conditions.
Dou Wanshan thought for a moment, but sighed: "Even so, Iron Sheet has to ask for money." We have dozens of people in the team, at least we have to make three iron buckets, counting the water pipes or something, at least four or five hundred yuan, three sets are one thousand and five, and there are also things to boil water, and they have to be replaced with large ones. Impossible, impossible......"
Su Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that everyone wants to take a hot shower? Let's take out a little ......bit of the double more than half of the bonus."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Captain Dou was startled and lowered his voice: "If you dare to touch everyone's bonus, as long as one person sues you, you won't be able to eat and leave." Taking a bath is everyone's business, and the bonus is a personal business, how can you mix it up. ”
Su Cheng looked at him speechlessly, and said for a while: "If you pay 10 yuan per person, you can take a hot shower all the time, isn't this happy?"
"It's not about money, it's about principle. If you follow your approach, will the team still have to pay for water and coal? Do you let yourself out?" Dou Wanshan said earnestly: "Xiao Su, you are still young, you have to think about things, sometimes things are very small, you are caught by someone, and your whole life is ruined." ”
In his opinion, if a good college student hadn't made a mistake of principle, how could he end up at the oil production station.
Hearing what the captain said was so serious, Su Cheng couldn't fight anymore, so he changed his tone and said: "Then let's find the factory, let them solve the shower matter, and then we will find a way to transform it...... Try not to spend money. ”
The latter sentence was added to the captain's stern gaze.
Dou Wanshan is a vigorous and resolute person, and improving the shower equipment is indeed a great thing, he saw the gap in the shift, and took the car back to the oil production plant.
Sioux City wasn't optimistic about his trip, but it was a necessary process.
In the evening, he spread out the table and drew a picture by himself.
Xiao Hei was in a room with him, seeing that the fine drawings were polluted by black pencils, and said with a heartache: "This paper is precious, right, can't you draw on straw paper?"
"I want to draw a pattern, how can I do it?"
"I know that the mechanical drawings, the old workers in the factory, all draw on straw paper first, and only when they are really useful, do they draw on white paper. "What Xiao Hei said is very serious.
Su Cheng was stunned when he heard this, but the pen in his hand did not stop.
There is an advantage to working in the oil production team, eating, drinking and lodging are in the well station, which is extremely economical, and there is no place to go if you want to consume.
Sioux City has no interest in saving money, and usually buys books and newspaper pens with the money left over from eating, and drawings are also one of them.
Xiao Hei regretfully touched the blank paper for a while, and saw that Su Cheng was gradually getting busy, so he looked at the book silently. He entered the oil field after graduating from junior high school, and at that time, it was said that it was better to be a worker than to go to university, because the length of service in the big pot was more important than the academic qualifications, and there were several more years of income. But when Xiao Hei worked until his peers graduated from college, the national policy began to favor academic qualifications again, and if he had no education, he could only be a grassroots worker for a lifetime, and he had to pick up books again.
Su Cheng painted for two days before Dou Wanshan came back in a huff, stripped naked, shook his arms and said: "Old Shi Tie Rooster, drag and drag, Lao Tzu is waiting for the hair." ”
"What did he say?"
"To go to meetings, to observe, to study, in short, not to give money. ”
This was a result that had been expected for a long time, and Su Cheng turned his head and said, "Then I said earlier, if we make our own showers, will they pay for the operation?"
"Coal and water? ”
Su Cheng picked up the drawings and said, "That's okay, I'll rest tomorrow, just go to Huayuan." ”
