As soon as the meal was eaten, Zhang Yongxin really wanted to find a place to rest for a while, but he saw that everyone hurriedly washed the lunch box, sandwiched it under his arm, and went to the workshop.

Zhang Yongxin, who was helpless, had no choice but to walk on his heavy legs and walk towards this road to heaven that he fought for himself.

As soon as I entered the workshop, some of them had already begun to be busy on the workbench, because at the end of the year, they had to catch up with a batch of jobs. Signs are hung on all sides of the workshop: "We workers have power!" "Sixty days of work at the end of the year, next year's output will double!" ”

The sore, swollen and sore fingers don't listen to the command, and the feeling of grinding the knife on their hands all the time. Zhang Yongxin shook his not very sober brain, should he pack his luggage and go home tomorrow?

But after thinking about it, when I left home to be a worker, I was vigorous in the village, and the seven aunts, eight aunts, and three aunts all knew about it, as well as my own mother, this woman who was so good at showing off, must be showing off in the village again.

If you give up going back like this, wouldn't that be a slap in her old face?

How this worker's quota came about, only she knows best. Back in the village, under the nose of the village chief, will he let himself go?

With these thoughts, she had to decide to stay.

In the afternoon, although Zhang Yongxin's hands did not do a few jobs, this made everyone not have too much good impression of her. When she went to the toilet, she heard a worker in the group whispering, "Isn't that newcomer also from the countryside?" Five big and three coarse, doing a job is like a big lady. The other took over the topic and said, "That's it, Miss's body is a slave." ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Yongxin really wanted to go up and refute a few words. But on second thought, for newcomers, more is better than less peace.

Pretend you didn't hear anything. Back at his workbench, the few people who had just spoken suddenly shut up.

Finally, it was time to get off work in the afternoon, the horn sounded, some groups still worked overtime, and others left the workshop one after another. Zhang Yongxin was just about to leave, when the inspector brought over a few components, saying that the burrs on them were not clean.

Then. An older worker, she took a few looks, and said that it was a novice's job at first glance. So the unanimous gaze saw Zhang Yongxin here. Before Zhang Yongxin could open her mouth, these elements were placed in front of her.

I had no choice but to put on my gloves again and start reworking all over again. Several others are gone. She was the only one on the worktop.

OK. There is a big melting pot in the workshop, and the temperature makes most of the workshop warm. Coupled with the constant exertion of my hands, I began to sweat all over my body. After more than an hour, the unqualified parts of these components have been reworked.

At this time, Zhang Yongxin's body and mind have begun to be exhausted, oh my God, this is the first day, how can the rest of the days be lived?

The stomach rang uncontrollably. She picked up the lunch box and went to the cafeteria, who knew that it would only be steamed buns and vegetable juice. Kind canteen master. gave her all the rest of the vegetable juice and let her soak it in steamed buns.

There is no way but that's it. The three steamed buns were warm, and there were a few cabbage leaves in the vegetable juice, just like that, making do with it, coaxing the stomach to be full.

Along the path of the factory area, I returned to the dormitory, where the three workers were all in the dormitory. The four people are Zhang Yongxin's oldest, and the other three are seventeen or eighteen.

Because we were going to live and work together, we got to know each other. Sun Zhaodi, who came from the countryside, gave a lot of gifts to the village chief; Liu Gaigai, suburban, graduated from high school, recruited by the factory; Chen Xiaoxia came in from the top shift, her father was not in good health and retired early.

These three people came more than a month earlier than Zhang Yongxin, so Zhang Yongxin tried to ask Chen Xiaoxia: "You came in at the top shift, why didn't you get a good job?" ”

Chen Xiaoxia sighed and said: "My dad has always been a sand turner, I can only do this when I am on duty, no way, my father is not in good health, and my younger brother is still young." ”

"And how long is our apprenticeship?" Zhang Yongxin asked.

Liu Gaigai said: "I heard the students who entered the factory early said that they were three months, six months, and one year, and they originally thought that they would be able to enter the big factory, but who knew that after they came in, they would also be apprentices." But I'm a high school graduate, so I'm sure my apprenticeship is short. Work for a while, then take the college entrance examination and go to a cram school. With this salary, you can support yourself. ”

Sun Zhaodi said: "For this quota in my family, my grandfather even sold the coffin board, saying that it was for me to be a city person, and I would persevere no matter how hard it was." ”

When Zhang Yongxin heard these words, his heart became more and more chaotic, and he could only take one step at a time.

We didn't talk for a long time at night, because of the fatigue of the day, we didn't have much energy to hang out. So he went to bed early at night, and Zhang Yongxin fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.

The next morning, Zhang Yongxin found that his hands were a little swollen and he could barely hold his fingers. Sun Zhaodi said: "It doesn't matter, use hot water to compress, and you will get used to it in a few days." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand for Zhang Yongxin to see.

These little hands are not big, but the palms and fingers are full of calluses. Zhao Di said: "This old callus is when I was doing farm work at home, and the new callus is here to grind." I also did burr work for about ten days. ”

Zhang Yongxin then understood that here, unless you are a college student, new workers are treated the same, and agricultural machinery factories are all dealing with iron. This workshop is mainly used to make components, which are then sent to another factory to be assembled into tractors, threshers, threshing machines, etc.

The four girls quickly cleaned up, put on their blue uniforms, and then ran to the cafeteria to eat. During the new construction period, the management is stricter, and you can't be late.

After breakfast, I rushed to the workshop and started the day's work.

Although there were too many dissatisfaction and grievances in his heart, Zhang Yongxin could only swallow it in his stomach. There are eight workers at a workbench, and the others are women in their thirties, so they joke with each other and do the work in hand. Director Wang kept walking around, knocking on the countertop, asking everyone to pay attention to the quality of the components in their hands.

Zhang Yongxin sometimes blushes when he is made by these jokes, and sometimes he laughs. Tedious and tiring work requires adjustment, and she understands that. If you want to mix here, you have to blend in.

To produce a batch of new parts, a small workbench was temporarily added to the work surface, which was to use a saw to see a hole in the middle of the element and then grind. So, there were two more men, both of whom were nearly forty years old.

Eight women, two men, this piece is lively. The work goes on and on, and the jokes sometimes escalate.

After a few days of work, although tired, after mastering certain skills, it is much stronger than at the beginning. (To be continued.) )
