"Xiaohua, do you have something to do at night?"

At the end of work that day, Yang Chunshan intercepted Lin Zhenhua, who had just come out, outside the door of the production area and asked him.

"Uncle Yang, I'm fine, what's the matter, you have something to look for me?"

"Well, there is a township enterprise, and there are some things to find someone to do, would you like to go with me to hunt pheasants to make some money?" Yang Chunshan said in a low voice.

Hunting pheasants is a common saying in the factory, which means making extra money. The workers of the Hanhua Machinery Factory have technology in their hands, and some small enterprises in the neighboring towns sometimes have to ask the workers of the Hanhua Factory to help them privately when they encounter technical problems, and this kind of help is certainly not obligatory. The factory leaders are also well aware of this kind of thing, but these workers do not delay the affairs of the factory, but only use their spare time to earn extra money, and the factory leaders are not good at interfering with anything. In the past few years, there were restrictions on workers doing private work outside, but now these policies have been gradually liberalized, and the factory leaders are willing to turn a blind eye.

Of course, when workers go out to do private work, it does not have no impact on their work. Some workers go to township enterprises at night to do work, work all night, and then rush back to the factory to work the next day. Some workers are even more excessive, secretly taking some small tools from the factory to help in the township enterprises, if this kind of thing is discovered by the factory, it will definitely have to deduct wages and circulate criticism.

Yang Chunshan is a welder in the factory, his skills are very good, and he is also quite famous in the surrounding township enterprises, and there are many people who ask him to do private work. Sometimes he can't finish the private work alone, so he has to invite a few workers to go together, and this time he invited Lin Zhenhua to go with him, naturally because of Yang Xin. Yang Chunshan has now begun to look at Lin Zhenhua as a son-in-law, and he invited Lin Zhenhua to do private work with him, on the one hand, to give Lin Zhenhua some opportunities to make money, so that he can have money to marry Yang Xin in the future, and on the other hand, he wants to use such an opportunity to examine Lin Zhenhua's character and ability.

"Uncle Yang, of course I'm willing to do anything that can make money." Lin Zhenhua said happily, "However, I am just a general worker, what can I do?" ”

"I heard Xiao Xin say that you learned milling in the army, and your skills are quite good. I'll take you out to see and see, and in case someone else has a job as a miller in the future, I can also introduce you there. However, this time it is an electric welding job, have you ever learned electric welding? ”

"Electric welding, I've learned a little bit, I can make a fire." Lin Zhenhua said extremely modestly that being able to ignite the welding wire is the first step of electric welding, and it is really not a skill. Of course, it is not so easy for people who have never been exposed to electric welding to ignite the welding wire.

"It doesn't matter, you can't chew too much, you can learn to mill well. In the area of electric welding, I will teach you a little bit when I have time, and sometimes it is enough to deal with things if I can do it. Yang Chunshan said, "You go back to eat, wait for me to call you, and we will ride a bicycle together." ”

The township enterprise where Yang Chunshan went to "hunt pheasants" was in Xiaogang Commune, 10 kilometers away from the Hanhua Factory, and the two of them rode bicycles and walked for about 40 minutes to come to this small enterprise called Xiaogang Agricultural Machinery Parts Factory.

"Master Yang is here." A man dressed as a farmer stood at the gate of the factory to greet Yang Chunshan and Lin Zhenhua.

"Director Mao." Yang Chunshan greeted the man, then turned his head and pointed at Lin Zhenhua, and introduced to the director of the Mao factory: "This is my apprentice, called Lin Zhenhua, I will bring him over to help." ”

"Oh, good, a famous teacher makes a high apprentice." The director of the Mao factory nodded to Lin Zhenhua, said hello, and then brought the two into the factory.

It is said that it is a factory, but it is actually a farmhouse, the east room is a workshop, there are two or three old machine tools that I don't know which factory has been eliminated, and the west room is a warehouse. There were some iron tools piled up in the middle of the yard, and because I had to work in the yard at night, I temporarily picked a 200-watt incandescent lamp with a long bamboo pole and shone it in the yard.

"Is that all these things?" Yang Chunshan pointed to the pile of iron tools and asked the head of the hair factory.

The head of the wool factory said: "That's it, it's all to be welded." You see, can it be done in one night? ”

Yang Chunshan estimated it and nodded: "Well, it's almost a night's amount, me and my apprentice." ”

"It's still the old rule, 4 yuan for big workers and 2 yuan for small workers, how about it?"

"No problem, it's all an old relationship."

On the way here, Yang Chunshan had already introduced to Lin Zhenhua that this Xiaogang Agricultural Machinery Parts Factory was nominally a social enterprise of Xiaogang Commune, but it had been contracted by the director of the wool factory. In addition to the family of the director of the factory, there are only 3 workers in the whole factory, and no one knows how to weld. When there is welding work, the head of the wool factory has to accumulate it, and when it is about equivalent to a night's workload, he asks Yang Chunshan to deal with it once. Yang Chunshan has skills, is a big worker, and earns 4 yuan a night; Every time Yang Chunshan has to bring an apprentice to help, it is considered a small job, and it is 2 yuan a night, which is already a routine.

Who Yang Chunshan takes to do small work, the director of the Mao factory does not interfere, which is equivalent to giving Yang Chunshan a chance to do favors. What Yang Chunshan used to do, sometimes he brought his own apprentices, and sometimes he brought other workers with a better relationship, no matter who he brought, the other party would be very happy, because it was still very good to earn 2 yuan a night. Yang Chunshan gave Lin Zhenhua the opportunity this time and told him that when he had 2 yuan to earn, he had a kind of idea of grace in his heart, and he didn't think that Lin Zhenhua would feel that 2 yuan was not enough for his own effort.

After the director of the Mao factory and Yang Chunshan finished talking about the price, they went to do other work by themselves. Yang Chunshan pulled the welding machine that was placed aside, turned on the power, and began to work. Working for a private company is not the same as working in a state-owned factory, people pay for it, naturally they want you to do things every minute, and if you procrastinate, they won't look for you again next time.

Lin Zhenhua, as a small worker, is tasked with grinding off the rust on the workpiece to be welded with sandpaper, and then moving the workpiece to Yang Chunshan's side. When welding large parts, he is also responsible for helping Yang Chunshan support one of the workpieces. These jobs are not very technical, and they can basically be done by one person.

"Uncle Yang, drink saliva."

Lin Zhenhua brought a glass of water to Yang Chunshan, Yang Chunshan stopped the welding machine, took a sip of water, and asked, "How many workpieces have not been polished?" ”

"It's all wiped off." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"Wiped all right?" Yang Chunshan was a little surprised, he looked back, and sure enough, all the parts that needed to be welded on the workpiece had been wiped with sandpaper, and the grinding standards also met the requirements of welding, indicating that Lin Zhenhua was not opportunistic. Yang Chunshan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Xiaohua, you are quite diligent in your work." ”

"Hehe, Uncle Yang, you're tired too, why don't you weld for you for a while?"

"That's not going to work." Yang Chunshan shook his head, "These are not welded well, Lao Mao has to be anxious with me." Xiaohua, if you want to learn electric welding, come to me in the container workshop after work, and I will find some scrap iron for you to practice. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Uncle Yang, in fact, I also learned a little bit of electric welding in the army, you see that this piece is just an iron fence, and there are no too high technical requirements, I will weld a few points for you." ”

Yang Chunshan thought for a while, handed over the welding tongs, and said, "Okay, I'll see how well you learn in the army." Xiao Xin said that your skills are very good, I really don't believe it. Even if there is an opportunity to learn technology in the army, it is not as good as ......"

When he said this, he suddenly paused, he saw Lin Zhenhua gently touch the workpiece with the welding wire with the welding tongs, and then ignited the fire, a string of welding sparks splashed out, and a flat weld slowly flowed out under the welding wire.

"Uncle Yang, look at it, is it okay to weld like this?" Lin Zhenhua took away the welding wire, pointed to his work, and said to Yang Chunshan.

Yang Chunshan stretched out his finger and touched it back and forth on the weld that was still warm, and couldn't help laughing: "Good, good!" Next time you can take the money of the big worker. ”

"So, I'm qualified?" Lin Zhenhua asked, in front of Yang Chunshan, he didn't dare to be as arrogant as in front of Yang Xin, but he also knew that ordinary electric welding was really not difficult for him.

"Xiaohua, how long have you been learning electric welding in the army?"

"Hmm...... Let's go for a month. Lin Zhenhua replied that this time was the time when he participated in the welding internship in Huaqing Machinery Factory, but during that time, he not only learned this ordinary hand arc welding, but also had contact with submerged arc welding and gas arc welding. Some advanced welding techniques do not require workers to pick up the welding tongs at all, but are completely carried out by manipulators.

"It's really good to be able to practice like this in a month." Yang Chunshan said with satisfaction, electric welding is also a very experience and understanding of the surname of the technology, it is not difficult to weld two pieces of iron together, but to make the welded weld so smooth, it is necessary for the author to be able to grasp the strength of spot welding and the speed of the wire movement, it is indeed not easy to practice to Lin Zhenhua in a month.

"Come, are you sure of the rest of these things, if you are sure, I will leave them all to you to weld." Yang Chunshan said with great interest, he is now an old man who looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

"No problem, Uncle Yang, you can go to the side and rest, I'll be alone." Lin Zhenhua said.
