"He doesn't matter, does he?"

Watching Xiao Dongping leave, Qin Hai asked Ning Mo and them worriedly.

"It's okay, Lao Xiao drinks a lot." Ning Mo said disapprehantly, "Those who are engaged in supply and marketing are the ones who rotate around the wine table all day long." In the past, when my father was in office, there was a lot of business in the factory, so Lao Xiao didn't get drunk two or three times a week? I'm only worried that when he comes home, Mrs. Xiao will see that he is full of alcohol, and she will probably punish him again. ”

"Haha Yu Haitao and Miao Lei both laughed gloatingly, obviously Xiao Dongping's fear of guilt was a recognized joke in the factory.

"By the way, Ning Mo, what's going on in our factory, tell me a few of you." Qin Hai said that after this conversation with Xiao Dongping, he found that the situation of Qingfeng Factory was not optimistic, and the internal relationship was quite complicated, so he started the idea of understanding the situation first.

Not mentioning how Ning Mo and others introduced the people in the factory to Qin Hai, it was only said that after Xiao Dongping left the Weimin Restaurant, he returned home one foot at a time. As soon as he entered the door, his wife He Yumei smelled the strong smell of wine on his body, and a pair of Danfeng eyes stood up: "Where are you drinking again!" ”

"In the Weimin Restaurant." Xiao Dongping threw the things in his hand aside, sat down on the rattan chair, and said, "Yumei, make me a cup of tea." ”

"Go drinking again! Are you reluctant to take the bus in Hongze, save money and come back to buy alcohol secretly? He Yumei helped Xiao Dongping make tea with a hot water bottle, and asked him angrily. She is a typical knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, not only annoyed by her husband's behavior of secretly drinking, but also distressed by his usual gluttony. Seeing Xiao Dongping's drunken body and tired face, she was naturally reluctant to ignore him.

Xiao Dongping waved his hand and said, "I saved five cents, but I didn't use it to buy wine to drink." Today's wine was invited by the fat man of the Ning factory director's house, and he invited a technical school student who had just come to our factory to report for the sake of serving wine in the private restaurant, and I was considered to have been stained with it. Good guy, 6 dishes, 3 meat and 3 vegetarian, the fat man is really willing to spend money. ”

"What kind of technical school student, is it worth the fat man to spend so much money to invite him to dinner?" He Yumei's curiosity was aroused by Xiao Dongping, and when she heard that her husband had saved money but did not use it to buy wine, she felt a little less resentful towards her husband in her heart.

"I don't know where he came from, but this young man really has two tricks. No, I'll go to Lao Leng's house and tell him about the rotary tillage blades......" Xiao Dongping said, and planned to get up and go out.

He Yumei stopped him: "You are so drunk, what are you doing when you go to someone's house in the middle of the night?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Dongping sat down again, turned his head and shouted to the inner room: "Xiaojun! ”

His son Xiao Xiaojun came out in response, and Xiao Dongping ordered: "You go to Uncle Leng and Uncle Xiang's house, ask them to come to me, and say that I have something to discuss with them." ”

"What's the hurry, can't you discuss it when you go to work tomorrow?" He Yumei asked.

Xiao Dongping said: "The matter of burning eyebrows, this kind of thing can't be discussed when you go to work." Xiaojun, don't go yet. ”

Xiao Xiaojun glanced at his mother, and when he saw that his mother did not express any objection, he ran out of the house to find someone.

After a long time, Leng Yuming, the head of the technical section, and Xiang Jiyong, the head of the production section, came to Xiao Dongping's house one after another, and the two of them looked at Xiao Dongping's face, so they laughed and scolded together: "You old Xiao, won't you be drunk again and want to pull us to chat?" Go to bed when you're drunk, are you afraid that Xiao He will scold you and pull us to intercede? ”

Xiao Dongping, Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong are of the same age, and they were the three generals under the old factory director Ning Zhongying, and they cooperated a lot in their work, and their personal relationships were also very good. Leng and Xiang both knew that Xiao Dongping was addicted to alcohol, and they also knew that he would be reprimanded by his wife if he drank, so they made a joke about it.

He Yumei was no stranger to this kind of joke, she poured water for Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong, beckoned them to sit down, and then said: "Lao Xiao drank the wine invited by the fat man in Director Ning's house today, I heard that there is another technical school student, you can ask him." ”

"Xiao Mo invited you to drink?" Xiang Jiyong was a little surprised, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Dongping told Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong about the drinking just now, especially highlighting Qin Hai's extraordinary. Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong looked at each other, both of them in disbelief.

"No, a technical school student...... When did Lao Long's students have such great ability? Xiang Jiyong muttered quietly. He himself graduated from the Agricultural Machinery Technical School, of course in the 60s. Long Changsheng, the current principal of the Agricultural Machinery Technical School, is Xiang Jiyong's classmate back then, and Xiang Jiyong knows how much ability the students trained by the Agricultural Machinery Technical School are.

"Lao Xiao, that Qin Hai said that he has the ability to improve the quality of our rotary tillage blades above the industry average, did he say what kind of process to use?" Leng Yuming is concerned about specific technical issues.

Xiao Dongping shook his head and said, "I'm not engaged in techniques, how can I understand what he says?" So I didn't ask him. I have a somewhat similar opinion to Lao Xiang, I think a technical school student shouldn't have such a big ability, right? ”

"But you clearly said that the quenching process he used can handle the 65 manganese steel farm tools so that they cut bricks without curling the blade, which I can't do." Leng Yuming said.

Xiao Dongping said: "This is what Miao Lei said, I haven't seen it with my own eyes." ”

Xiang Jiyong said: "I understand Miao Lei, this child, he is not very good at lying. Besides, Xiao Mo and the others spent so much money to invite Qin Hai to dinner, it must be because Qin Hai helped them solve the problem, which can also show that this matter is true. ”

"You said he had already reported to work, where did he live? I'll go find him now. Leng Yuming was a little itchy, and he planned to talk to Qin Hai immediately to see what tricks he had that could improve the quality of the rotary tillage blade.

Xiao Dongping shook his head and said: "I think it's better to observe it first, he said it casually, we attach so much importance to it, and if we don't get it right, we will make jokes." My idea is, do you two find a chance to test him tomorrow to see if he is really capable or bragging. If he really has the ability, wouldn't it be better for us to listen to him talk about how to improve the quality of the blade? ”

Xiang Jiyong pointed to Xiao Dongping's nose and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, you are suspicious of supply and marketing, so you have to test such a thing first." However, you're right, he's a new technical school student, and if we act too anxiously, it may backfire. I don't think you're drunk, but you're thinking quite clearly. ”

Xiao Dongping said with a smile: "My old Xiao has always been drunk and clear-minded, or if he doesn't do business, he won't be cheated by others." ”

Qin Hai, Ning Mo and the others drank in the Weimin Restaurant until nine o'clock in the evening, licked every dish cleanly, and then returned to the agricultural machinery factory with a bulging stomach. When they arrived at the family area, Ning Mo and the others went back to their respective homes, while Qin Hai groped his way back to the bachelor building with his memories during the day.

"You've just finished eating?"

Hearing Qin Hai's movement of opening the door, Wang Xiaochen on the opposite side opened the door again, poked his head out, and asked Qin Hai. Smelling the smell of wine emanating from Qin Hai's body, she frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Qin, you just graduated, don't learn from fat people and them to spend all their time drinking, or your salary will not be enough to spend." ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Xiaochen." Qin Hai replied gratefully. Although Wang Xiaochen's reminder was a redundant move for Qin Hai, that concern was sincere, in fact, Qin Hai and Wang Xiaochen just met in the afternoon, but Wang Xiaochen didn't expect Wang Xiaochen to be so heartfelt to him.

"You should also be from the countryside, right? I am also from the countryside, we countrymen, we can't compare with their city people, their family is Qingfeng factory, and they rely on their parents for food and drink. Wang Xiaochen said to Qin Hai seriously.

"Thank you Xiaochen for your advice, today is really a newcomer, I would rather be so enthusiastic about them, and I am not suitable to refuse. I won't go with them to eat and drink in the future. Qin Hai expressed determination.

Wang Xiaochen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You came all the way from Hongze, and you sweated so much, go to the water room to wash." The water was a bit cold at night, and I had some boiling water in my thermos that you could pick up and use. ”

"No, I'm used to taking cool showers." Qin Hai said, and after that, he added with a smile: "It seems that I can't call you sister, you really take care of me as a younger brother." ”

Wang Xiaochen smiled and said, "Didn't you say it yourself, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as the right door?" You just came, if you lack anything, just look for me, and if you have anything you don't know, you can also come to me and ask me, don't be polite. ”
