"It's disgusting!"

Losmachenko put his hand in his pocket, and looked down at a truck not far away driving quickly in the alley, and the wind that brought it up kicked up a cloud of dust, so that he couldn't help but turn his head slightly and cough, and scolded secretly: "This group of damned bureaucrats should go to court-martial!" ”

But he just cursed secretly, sighed heavily, and continued to walk forward with his hands crossed. He didn't have much time to waste, knowing that the factory he was working in had already started, and he needed to rush over to repair the machine so that the factory could meet today's production targets as soon as possible.

That's right, he's a factory maintenance worker, and he has a skill that everyone envies at the moment, at least in the eyes of others. Los Machenko strode into the factory, and the male and female workers nodded at him with smiles on their faces, and he also cheered up and saluted them in return, just a group of ordinary workers, what kind of arrogant demeanor could he make?

"Of course, for the guy in front, it's really a little disgusting!"

Raising his head slightly, he looked at the pot-bellied factory director standing there with his hands on his back, he couldn't help but squint slightly, he didn't know why, as long as he saw the arrogant fat face, he felt a wave of nausea gushing out of his stomach, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "It's really damned!" ”

"Oh, Comrade Losmachenko, the machine in warehouse No. 3 has broken down, in order to ensure the progress of Soviet production, hurry up and repair it!"

The factory director also saw Lomaschenko and immediately patted his round belly, but the rough worker's clothes on his body made him frown slightly, but he still stretched out and looked happy, and kept saying to him: "Do you know, today the leaders will come down to inspect our factory, if we can show the best side, I am afraid we will be rewarded by the superiors!" It's exciting to think about! ”

Losmachenko couldn't help but pout, just nodded to the factory director, and walked towards warehouse No. 3. Of course, he knew what the factory director meant by the commendation, especially the so-called verbal reward from the leader, which was not at all comparable to the affirmation of the factory director's work.

"In order to get out of here, I really tried my best!"

With disdain on his face, Losmachenko strode towards warehouse No. 3, of course, he knew that his self-regarded factory director was fed up with staying in this small factory, and he didn't know how much he had spent, so he wanted to work in a big factory in Odessa or Kyiv. Thinking of this, Losmachenko couldn't help but shake his head disdainfully, and said, "What a guy who forgot his ancestors!" ”

He and the director of the factory were classmates, lived in Tsarist Russia as a child, because by chance, he successfully became an apprentice in the factory, and after the Russian Civil War, he was also prosperous for a while because he was a good worker who "actively supported the revolution and took the initiative".

"It's just that I'm a little depressed now."

Rubbing his stomach, Losmachenko couldn't help frowning slightly, in the past few days, the supply and marketing cooperatives have reduced their personal food supply, in order to feed his wife and daughter, he only ate a small half piece of bread and a bowl of mixed vegetable soup this morning, remembering when he was a workers' representative, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Bureaucracy! ”

At that time, he was reluctant to continue to be a workers' representative, because he was not used to some bad habits inherited from Tsarist Russia, so he chose to become a maintenance worker. But after becoming an ordinary maintenance worker, he found that the officials who used to be quite polite to him now ignored him, and even his classmates, who had grown up with him, began to have those disgusting habits.

"Good morning, Mr. Losmachenko! I'm so glad to see you again! ”

However, when he walked into the third warehouse, a thin figure jumped out, wearing a rather ill-fitting wide overalls, and when he saw Losmachenko, he waved his hand quite excitedly: "I know where the damaged machine is, I'll take you there!" ”

"Well, I'm really bothering you, little Shushkovich."

Looking at this little guy, Losmachenko couldn't help but smile, as the youngest guy in this small factory, Shushkovich is still quite popular, especially the down-to-earth style and young language that likes to laugh, and is an elf-like existence in the whole factory. Losmachenko made a gesture of invitation to him and said with a smile: "Please lead the way, little comrade!" ”

Little Shushkovich nodded immediately, led him to the front, and smiled quite contentedly, the freckles on his little face were a little red, obviously quite proud of Losmachenko's name. However, he still touched his head, turned his head to Los Machenko and said: "Sir, I am not a member of the Communist Party now, not even a member of the Komsomol ..."

"But you're still a good boy of the Young Pioneers!"

Reaching out and touching the top of little Shushkovich's head, he took out a worker's cloth hat in his arms, put it on the little head, looked at the stunned appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "This is just a loan to you, it's too dirty, but it's not for you." ”

"Oh, Mr. Los Marchenko, can I go in and learn how to repair the machine?"

Little Shushkovich's eyes widened even more, and he couldn't help but gently hold the work cap on his head with his hand, looked at Losmachenko in surprise and said: "I will really study hard, and then make my hometown better!" He said, paused, and said even louder: "It is better to be like our Soviets!" ”

"Well, sweet boy."

Stopping at little Shushkovich's words, Losmachenko couldn't help but laugh even more, gently reached out and rubbed his work cap, and said with some emotion: "If everyone is as cute as you, then what if I give him all the hats?" ”

As he walked, he walked towards a machine in warehouse three, which looked like an abyssal beast. But looking at the silent appearance, Losmachenko sighed slowly and said: "Little Shushkovich, follow me to learn to repair in the future, and be a person who contributes to society!" ”

"Ha, of course, my hometown is still very poor, but it is not sad!"

Little Shushkovich nodded excitedly, remembering a news from his hometown, and couldn't help but say to Losmachenko: "There is a real Communist Party member in our hometown, who distributes food to our relatives, just like the supply and marketing cooperative, but it is even better than the supply and marketing cooperative!" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Losmachenko shook his head, not taking it seriously, just continuing to walk forward, life had already honed his edges, and he regarded this so-called rumor as a better policy at best. However, looking at the excited appearance of little Shushkovich, he still shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's so good? ”

"Well, he said to go socialism with Ukrainian characteristics! It is our own Communist Party of Ukrainians! ”

Touching the back of his head, little Shushkovich said to Losmachenko: "This is what our people there told me personally, and they have to tell me not to tell others, that this is a very important secret!" He looked at Losmachenko with a smile and said, "But I think Mr. Losmachenko is a good person!" ”

"Socialism with Ukrainian characteristics? The Communist Party of Ukrainians? ”

Losmachenko was slightly stunned, this is not a slogan that ordinary people can say, and he also frowned instantly, glanced around, and found that there was no one before he lowered his head and looked at little Shushkovich, and said solemnly: "That's right, little Shushkovich, remember, except for me, don't talk about this anymore!" He gritted his teeth, still looked at little Shushkovich and said, "This is an agreement between us, an agreement between men!" ”

"Okay..."Little Shushkovich was slightly stunned, he also remembered what his relatives told him to keep secret, and couldn't help touching the back of his head, but looking at Losmachenko's solemn appearance, he still nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Losmachenko, I won't tell anyone else!" ”
