Chapter 32: Cousin
Zhou Jianhua suddenly saw his cousin Lin Dongming, and then remembered that Lin Dongming was working here.
Lin Dongming is the eldest son of Zhou Jianhua's uncle Lin Yongliang, three years older than Zhou Jianhua, graduated from Tonglin Commune Junior High School two years ago, and failed to go to the county seat to study in high school, but was arranged by Lin Yongliang to enter the commune machine repair factory as an apprentice.
Lin Dongming's grades in junior high school were very good, and it was a pity that he didn't continue to study in high school, but as a child from a rural family, it is a very good opportunity to finish junior high school in this era and enter such a social enterprise.
It's just that Zhou Jianhua and Lin Dongming don't live in the same place, and they don't study in the same school, and in the early years, they only occasionally went back to the commune with their parents to visit their grandparents during the winter and summer vacations or during the New Year's holidays, and then went to their cousin's house to meet each other, and there were not many intersections. The two families have a lot of contacts between the elders, especially in the past few years after Zhou Jianhua's father passed away, Lin Yongliang has helped Zhou Jianhua's family, Zhou Jianhua can go to Tonglin Coal Mine to work this winter vacation, and Lin Yongliang helped find Chen Guodong, director of the Management Committee of Tonglin Commune, Zhou Jianhua has the opportunity to enter Tonglin Coal Mine as a seasonal worker.
In fact, Lin Dongming had already seen Zhou Jianhua, but he was still an apprentice, so it was not good to drop the sledgehammer in his hand and leave the rotary tillage knife that was being forged on the fire to greet Zhou Jianhua, but because Zhou Jianhua did not come alone, but entered the house with the two leaders, and seemed to be talking about work, and Lin Dongming also found that whether it was Director Fan Hongquan or Master Zuo Manfu, their expressions and postures when communicating with Zhou Jianhua were very respectful, which surprised Lin Dongming.
Father brought home two catties of fish and a good cigarette a few nights ago, saying that Zhou Jianhua showed his skills in the coal mine to repair the winch and won Director Chen's bonus before buying, at that time he was still skeptical, but he didn't expect to meet his cousin in the machine repair factory today, and he still came with the two leaders, looking at the way they talked, obviously has nothing to do with himself, is he the legendary young master who solved the problem of rotary tillage production technology?
Lin Dongming was thinking about these things, while waving a big iron hammer with another apprentice to forge the forging billet that the master held with iron tongs, at this time he heard Zhou Jianhua's shout, so he turned his head and nodded at Zhou Jianhua with a smile on his face full of sweat, and continued to knock on the billet that was about to run out of fire a few times, and when the master clamped the blank to the red furnace and calcined, Lin Dongming put down the hammer and came over.
Zhou Jianhua also walked over to his cousin with a smile, looking at his cousin who was getting stronger and stronger, Zhou Jianhua couldn't help but pick up his fist and beat his cousin's thick shoulder twice and said, "Cousin, you are really an out-and-out man now!" Do you have a girlfriend? "In these days, in the countryside, nineteen years old is already the age when you can talk about marriage.
"Huh...... Not yet. How did you get here? Lin Dongming is still as calm and gentle as he was when he was a student before.
"Secretary Cai asked me to come here to take a look, there are some production things that need to be communicated with each other." Zhou Jianhua said modestly.
Lin Dongming stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Jianhua's shoulders and asked in a low voice: "Listen to Master Zuo, our rotary tillage knife has improved the production process under the guidance of a young master, is that person you?" β
"Hehe, it's me!" Zhou Jianhua replied: "Actually, I also happened to know this, so I said it casually, the key is that the masters in the factory are more experienced, so there will be such a result." Are you okay here? When will you be able to complete the disciples? β
"Alas...... It's hard to say...... Lin Dongming raised his eyes and glanced at the few leaders who were looking behind Zhou Jianhua, and stopped talking, hesitated a little and asked in a low voice: "Jianhua, where did you learn these skills?" Why haven't I heard that you have such a great ability before? β
"Hehe, it's not a big skill...... I have read some of this knowledge in my own books - if you are interested, you can also learn it yourself. Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile.
"Learn on your own...... May I? Can you learn what you are by self-study? Lin Dongming found it unimaginable.
"Absolutely!" Zhou Jianhua replied unequivocally: "If you are interested, you can find some professional books to learn, no matter what you learn, you will have the opportunity to use in the future." β
"Oh......" Lin Dongming still looked dazed.
"It turns out that Lin Dongming is Master Zhou's cousin?!" Fan Hongquan also came over with a smile on his face at this time and asked, directly ignoring the "small" word of the original "Master Xiao Zhou".
"Oh, yes! We haven't seen each other in a while, so we didn't expect to meet here. Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile.
"Oh! After that, Master Zhou can often come to our machine repair factory when it is convenient, and you two can also get together often. Fan Hongquan said very insightfully.
"I have a lot of things to do, and you guys are also very busy, if there is nothing to do, I won't come to bother you often, hehe......" Zhou Jianhua also took the opportunity to say:
"However, if Director Fan wants to find me for anything in the future, he can ask my cousin to come to me at any time, so that we can get together a few more times."
At the moment when he saw Lin Dongming just now, Zhou Jianhua immediately had a new idea, his cousin had helped his family before, and now he should also find an opportunity to help his cousin.
Zhou Jianhua originally planned to come over today to help Tonglin Machinery Repair Factory put forward some suggestions for improving the production process, and try to help them come up with ideas as much as possible, so that they don't have to run around and waste energy in the future, but Zhou Jianhua now has a new plan, and he wants his cousin to benefit from this matter. It can benefit others and oneself, and it is a win-win situation for both public and private, which should not be too much, right? Zhou Jianhua asked himself in his heart.
"Oh! Okay! I'm going to have to trouble you a lot after that! Fan Hongquan said happily, thinking that it was really lucky, there was actually his cousin in the factory, and the relationship was brought closer, and it would be easy to talk to him if he wanted to help in the future, so he immediately became polite to Lin Dongming, patted Lin Dongming's shoulder with his hand and said happily: "Hehe, I will ask Dongming to work hard in the future." β
"Oh...... It should be ......" Lin Dongming replied sneeringly, a little dizzy feeling in his mind, when did Director Fan ever be so close to him?
Zhou Jianhua saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart that this method was really immediate, and then asked: "Director Fan, the temperature control problem of rotary tillage heat treatment we just talked about...... What are you going to do now? β
"Alas! ......" Fan Hongquan frowned again, sighed, bit his lower lip in a daze, couldn't think of a solution for a long time, couldn't help but knocked his forehead hard, looked at Zhou Jianhua with a sad face, and didn't know how to answer Zhou Jianhua's words.
If the cost is not much, Fan Hongquan may also fight the idea of the commune and ask Secretary Cai to help support it, but with so much money, he can't open this mouth, and Secretary Cai will not agree.
"Why don't I make a suggestion and see if you'll be okay?" Zhou Jianhua said: "To buy a regular heat treatment furnace, it is estimated that it will cost four or five hundred yuan, I estimate that this is almost worth two months of salary expenses of your entire machine repair factory, with your current situation, you will definitely not be able to come up with this money, and the commune may not be able to come up with so much money to support you, but it will not work without this equipment - or, find a way to make a simple and suitable heat treatment furnace." β
"Do it yourself?!" Fan Hongquan thought for a while and shook his head: "We can't do this, no one will do it......"
"I won't waste your time by bringing up things that I can't do." Zhou Jianhua looked at Fan Hongquan and said with a smile: "I can help you make one, but I estimate that the cost will be about 150 yuan." β
"...... will you do?!" Fan Hongquan asked in disbelief, and then sighed again: "Alas! Even if it's one hundred and fifteen, we can't get it out now......"
"It takes about three days to make a simple heat treatment furnace, including design, time to go back and forth to the provincial capital to find materials, production, and commissioning. More than 100 yuan, say too much, say a lot less, you have to think of a way, otherwise, I can't help you with the rotary tillage. Zhou Jianhua continued:
"Now, let me show you the hoe and sickle you just talked aboutβcousin, where are the hoes and sickles you produce, can you take me to see them?"
Lin Dongming was about to go back to his workstation to continue working, and when he heard that his cousin wanted him to find the workpiece together, he looked at Fan Hongquan, who immediately nodded and said, "Dongming, you can take Master Zhou to take a look - Master Zhou, then it's hard for you!" β
Fan Hongquan needs time to think about Jianhua's suggestion next week, not to mention that Secretary Cai is also here, so he can also fight Secretary Cai's idea.
In fact, Zhou Jianhua asked Lin Dongming to take him to see the product, the purpose was also to leave time and space for Fan Hongquan and Cai Zhongming to discuss this matter, so that they could get a certain result before they left the machine repair factory in the afternoon.
