Lin Zhenhua's low-key performance gave Zhong Ruling a good impression, as a porter, Zhong Rolin doesn't have much heart, and his standard for evaluating a person's quality is whether he respects him. Porters belong to the relatively low-status jobs in the whole factory, so Zhong Rulin's attitude towards others is very sensitive. Lin Zhenhua became a porter himself, he was not annoyed at all, and he was also respectful to Zhong Rulin, which was enough to make Zhong Ruling feel that this young man had outstanding character.

Zhong Rulin took Lin Zhenhua back to the metalworking workshop, and while distributing the materials he received to various machine tools, he introduced the workers and masters in the workshop to Lin Zhenhua. Hanhua Machinery Factory is a medium-sized enterprise with more than 500 people, Lin Zhenhua as a child of the factory, the people he knows are also very limited, some of the names of the master he has heard, but only today by Zhong Rulin's introduction, he can match people and names.

The masters are more familiar with Lin Zhenhua, when Lin Zhenhua's parents were both killed in the accident, it was also a sensational event for the whole factory, everyone usually meets to discuss the situation of Lin Zhenhua's brothers and sisters, so he is no stranger. Of course, everyone is familiar with Lin Zhenhua, and there is another reason, which is more embarrassing, that is, Lin Zhenhua was famous for being naughty and mischievous in the factory, and he was arrested by Su Yongsheng, the chief of the security section, for a lesson in three days, and he also achieved some notoriety.

"Xiaohua, this is Zhou Houcheng, Master Zhou, an eighth-level lathe." Zhong Ruling pointed to an old worker who was nearly 60 years old and introduced to Lin Zhenhua.

"Hello Master Zhou." Lin Zhenhua bowed to Zhou Houcheng in a proper manner.

Zhou Houcheng nodded: "Hey, you are a child of the old Lin family, right?" Just returned from the army? ”

"Yes, I just got out of the army."

"Well, I've been a soldier for two years, and I've grown." Zhou Hou became enlightened.

Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to smile bitterly, in the past two days, the sentence he heard the most was "there is progress", there is no way, the original self is too unbearable.

Lin Zhenhua followed Zhong Rulin and bowed all the way, but he felt a little dizzy, and in a trance, he felt that there was a sad look passing over him, and when he looked up, he saw Yang Xin standing by a universal milling machine, looking at him secretly. Beside Yang Xin, there was a middle-aged female worker who was working on a milling machine, and Yang Xin was obviously helping her.

"This is Jiang Tiemei, Master Jiang." Zhong Rulin pointed to the middle-aged female worker and introduced it to Lin Zhenhua.

"Master Jiang." Lin Zhenhua still greeted politely.

Jiang Tiemei raised her head and glanced at Lin Zhenhua expressionlessly, then turned her head and said to Yang Xin: "Yang Xin, didn't you ask you to give me a caliper?" ”

Yang Xin was peeking at Lin Zhenhua, and when she heard Jiang Tiemei's question, and there was still some displeasure in her tone, she quickly withdrew her gaze and went to the toolbox in a panic to find a caliper. Jiang Tiemei reached out and picked up a caliper from the shelf next to her, and said dissatisfiedly: "Where did you look for it, you didn't see the caliper on the shelf?" ”

Yang Xin's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he said sneeringly: "Master, I didn't see it." ”

Jiang Tiemei ignored her, took the caliper and began to measure the workpiece on the milling machine. During the whole process, she didn't give Lin Zhenhua a good face.

Lin Zhenhua scratched his scalp and looked back at Zhong Rulin. Zhong Rulin also smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Master Jiang is like this, he has a bad temper." ”

"That...... Did I offend her? Lin Zhenhua also asked in a low voice.

Zhong Ruling shook his head: "I don't know about this, you go over...... Well, if there were, it was at least two years ago. ”

Lin Zhenhua glanced at Yang Xin with an apologetic gaze, feeling that he had burdened Yang Xin and provoked Jiang Tiemei to attack her. However, Yang Xin didn't dare to look at Lin Zhenhua anymore, standing beside Jiang Tiemei, carefully watching her every move, for fear of making some small mistakes.

Lin Zhenhua walked around the workshop, not only recognized the people in the workshop, but also observed the equipment in the workshop. The metalworking workshop is composed of two interconnected single-storey workshops, each of which is divided into two rows with various machine tools, such as universal lathes, universal milling machines, gantry planers, grinders, radial drilling machines, deep hole boring machines, etc., most of which Lin Zhenhua has seen in the internship factory of Huaqing University. Of course, the CNC machine tools that Lin Zhenhua is more familiar with are not visible in this workshop at all, and it was difficult to find a few in the country at that time.

Alas, it's really backward, Lin Zhenhua lamented in his heart, what tricks can he play with such equipment. It's a shame that these people are still squeezing their heads to be what kind of mechanics, and when the technology is making such equipment, can they have any sense of maturity?

"Xiaohua, you don't know these machine tools, do you?" Zhong Ruling saw Lin Zhenhua stunned when he looked at the equipment, thinking that he was shocked, "I've been a porter here for so many years, and I can only name these beds, I don't know what they do." You see, that one is called a lathe, and this one is called a milling machine, and I think they are about the same. ”

"Oh, I know a little bit about that." Lin Zhenhua said, "The main motion of the lathe is the rotation of the workpiece, and the movement of the tool is the feed movement. On the contrary, the milling machine has the main motion and the workpiece movement is the feed motion......"

His words almost blurted out, and there was no clumsy thought at all. Zhong Rulin didn't seem to understand when he heard it, but he vaguely felt that Lin Zhenhua could say it like this, and he should be a little sure. He was about to ask Lin Zhenhua where he learned this, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say in a loud voice: "That's right, young man, whose apprentice are you?" ”

Zhong Rulin and Lin Zhenhua turned around, only to see a tall middle-aged man standing behind them, about 40 years old, with a straight waist, quite a military temperament, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he was looking at Lin Zhenhua with interest.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know the middle-aged man, but Zhong Ruling hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man: "Director Zhu, oops, I didn't see you just now." ”

"Director Zhu?" Lin Zhenhua looked at Zhong Rulin with an inquiring eye, he was a child of the factory, and the factory leaders still knew more or less, but they never knew that there was such a director Zhu.

"My name is Zhu Tiejun, and I transferred to our factory last year to be the deputy director. You're new to the factory, right? Who do you learn from now? Director Zhu introduced himself.

"Report, my name is Lin Zhenhua, I am a veteran, assigned to work in our factory, I just reported today. I am...... Master Chung's apprentice. Lin Zhenhua instinctively made a stand up to Zhu Tiejun, and replied in the language habits of the army. However, when talking about whose apprentice he was, he still sank, because the porter is a general worker and has no skills, so there is no master and apprentice.

"Veterans?" Zhu Tiejun obviously had some closeness to Lin Zhenhua, "Which unit did you retire from?" ”

"Before I was discharged from the army, I was in the reconnaissance company of a certain army and a division." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"Oh, I happen to have a comrade-in-arms in a certain division. Your division must have participated in the self-defense counterattack, right? ”

"Yes! Our division fought all the way to Lang Son. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Tiejun said, "It's a pity that I changed jobs too early, otherwise I would have been able to catch up with this battle." You said that you just reported today, so who taught you the knowledge of machine tools you just mentioned? ”

In fact, what Lin Zhenhua just said is entry-level machining common sense, and any machine tool worker knows it. But it is not easy to speak so fluently, and Zhu Tiejun became interested in Lin Zhenhua because of this.

"Well...... Lin Zhenhua was a little speechless, "Report to Director Zhu, I was originally a child of our factory, so I know a little bit." Also, when I was in the army, I also learned a little. ”

"Well, it's a good thing to like to learn." Zhu Tiejun said, "You are now apprenticed with Master Zhong, that is, as a porter?" ”

"Yes."

"Would you like to?"

"Yes, it's all revolutionary work, and I obey the assignment." Lin Zhenhua said in a high-sounding manner that he didn't know Zhu Tiejun's surname and felt that it was always right to speak some revolutionary language.

Zhu Tiejun was not moved by Lin Zhenhua's words, he frowned, and said: "Young man, if you have the opportunity, it's better to learn some skills." You do your job first, read more books in your spare time, and find a master to learn technology. If you learn well, you can also become a mechanic in the future. ”

Lin Zhenhua was very dismissive of Zhu Tiejun's encouragement in his heart, with his ability, he could play with all the machine tools in this workshop, although he did not dare to compare with Zhou Houcheng such an eighth-level worker, but compared with the average four- or fifth-level worker, it should be no inferior. In fact, the basic work of machine tools is not difficult, to become a senior technician, one is to have rich practical experience, the other is to have the ability to comprehend machinery, Lin Zhenhua will not lose to anyone in the latter item.

Zhong Ruling saw that Lin Zhenhua was silent, he hurriedly replied for him: "Director Zhu, Xiaohua will definitely work hard, he has a very smart brain, it is a pity to be a general worker." ”

Lin Zhenhua reacted at this time, and then followed Zhong Rulin's words and said: "Director Zhu, thank you for your encouragement, I will definitely study hard." ”

Zhu Tiejun nodded: "Well, I hope you don't embarrass us as soldiers." ”

After saying this, Zhu Tiejun turned to the other workers and began to ask about some things about production.

"Director Zhu, a good person." Zhong Ruling said to Lin Zhenhua in a low voice.

"Won't it?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Didn't he say he only came last year?" Why do you recognize him as a good person? ”

"Usually there is no shelf, but in the workshop, it is completely equal to our workers. When we workers have a meeting, we can sit down with any iron bump, whether it is dirty or not. If you change to another factory director, you will definitely not want to sit in such a dirty place. Zhong Rulin said.

"This is a good factory director, but you can't just say that he's okay?"

"Also, he does things fairly, no matter who asks him to do something, he will do it immediately if he can do it, and he won't do anything if he can't do it. He won't accept anyone who gives him a gift. Think about it, which one is the factory director who doesn't accept gifts? ”

Lin Zhenhua remembered that after he came back yesterday, countless people asked him to take something to the director in charge so that he could divide a good type of work, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Well, with this, it is much better than that director Liang." ”

"That's it!" Zhong Ruling in was very happy to see Lin Zhenhua approving his words, "Let me tell you one more thing, there is an old rightist in our factory, named Bi Wankui, do you know?" ”

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I've heard this name, it seems to live in a small black house next to the pigsty, right?" ”

"That's him." Zhong Rulin continued, "During the Spring Festival this year, the factory leaders went to the workers' homes to pay New Year's greetings, passing by the pigsty, and the other factory directors said that it was an old rightist, and there was no need to greet him for the New Year. Lao Bi was so moved that he cried, saying that no factory leader had come to see him for so many years, this was the first time. ”

"It's not easy to do that." Lin Zhenhua began to have some good feelings for Zhu Tiejun, in that era, everyone's political strings were still very tight, Zhu Tiejun was able to do this, which shows that in his heart, human dignity is far more important than political roles, and cadres who can do this are indeed very rare.

"So." Zhong Rulin concluded, "He just told you that you can learn some skills well, and you can also become a technician in the future, so don't be inappropriate." If you really learn some technology, Director Zhu takes a fancy to you, and he goes to the factory meeting to talk about it, and it is completely possible for you to become a technician. ”

"Then should I send something to Director Zhu?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Twenty rings, grenades or something." ”

"Don't send it." Zhong Rumin said solemnly, "If you have these things, give them to Director Liang, Director Zhu doesn't eat this set." ”

"Then, Master Zhong, I'll give you this twenty rings first." Lin Zhenhua said, took out a box of Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket, and stuffed them into Zhong Rulin's pocket.
