According to Western custom, after marriage, the bride and groom should go on a carefree honeymoon. But Carol was not so blessed, and only two days after the wedding, Scrooge brought Carroll and his wife over.

"Carol, I'm sorry to bother you at this time." Scrooge said, "As a rule, you should be allowed to go out on your honeymoon." It's just that now, there are a lot of things going on in the family. So, I wonder if your honeymoon can be delayed a bit. Catherine - Is it okay for me to call you that? You're probably going to be busy for a while. Carol, I'm going to leave the steelworks to you, including the mines, the coking plants, the docks, the fleet, and so on. If you can't take care of it alone, well, Catherine can help you out too. In the past few days, you will follow me and familiarize yourself with the situation of the factory. Well, Catherine, I'm so sorry. But you also know that the biggest problem in our family now is the lack of manpower, but the opportunity for money cannot be let go. Therefore, for the time being, women can only be used as men, and men can be used as animals. ”

Carol and Catherine glanced at each other, and they both saw a kind of helplessness in each other's eyes. In fact, they had been mentally prepared for such an arrangement for a long time. However, like any newlywed, they are now in a time when they want to be together 24 hours a day, and they still have the illusion that there will always be a honeymoon without a honeymoon. However, it was only two days before Scrooge ruthlessly shattered their illusions.

However, both of them also understand that this kind of thing is not easy to shirk. So I had to nod my head and agree.

"Well, that's it. I'll take you to the steelworks early tomorrow morning," Scrooge said, looking at his pocket watch, with a wicked smile, "and I'll leave 18 hours to go, and I won't bother you to hurry up and enjoy life." ”

……

Early the next morning, it was just six o'clock, and it was not yet fully light. Carol and Catherine were called. They're going to the factory today. The factory is in the suburbs, and as managers, it is necessary for them to know the handover of workers in the first shift of the factory in the morning, so they must get up early.

"Scrooge is a vampire!" Carol muttered indignantly, reluctantly got up, and began to get dressed. Catherine also began to put on a little lighter clothes specially prepared for today's events. (Ancient aristocratic women were actually very sad, those nobles that looked complex and gorgeous, the weight was often very touching, and it is said that some dresses and other things weighed no less than a level 4 board body armor.) ）

It took a long time, and the two of them were freshened up, and they came to the table for breakfast. They were already sitting there and eating.

"It's really an American tyrant, and the family doesn't wait for dinner." Catherine thought to herself, "When I saw Scrooge before, I thought he knew a lot more etiquette than Carroll. And so it turned out. ”

Carol was used to it, and he sat down directly on the edge of the table, grabbed a piece of bread, and began to nibble on it. Only Catherine sat down seriously and asked Carol in a low voice, "Don't you wait for old Mr. MacDonald?" ”

"Ah, they've eaten it a long time ago." Scrooge struggled to swallow the bread in his mouth, and replied in a vague accent, "They wake up early when they're old." Recently, the old man has become fond of fishing, and they go to the lake early in the morning to fish. ”

"Then we can eat?" Catherine asked. She remembers that when she used to eat, she would always recite prayers.

"Of course, if the old man is here, we will first recite the prayer together, but not now." Scrooge said.

"Hmm." Catherine replied in a low voice, it seems that it is really not easy to get used to this family completely. As for changing it, maybe it will be up to the next generation.

Carol had finished his loaf of bread, and he yawned as he reached out to grab another loaf of bread.

Yawning is a contagious thing. So when Carol yawned, Catherine yawned involuntarily. I guess I slept a little late last night.

After eating, the three of them got into the carriage and drove towards the steel mill on the outskirts of the city.

……

"This is Mr. McCarthy, the director of the First Steel Plant." Scrooge told Carroll.

"Carol? Hello, Mr. MacDonald! Director McCarthy bowed slightly to Carroll.

"You can ask the director of McCarthy about the operation of the steel store." "It's ...... Well, this is the Stern engineer you know. ”

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Carol? Mr. MacDonald. ”

"This is ......," Scrooge said, first bringing in the main middle and high-level cadres in the factory to meet with Kroll. Regarding the fact that Kroll will be directly in charge of the factory instead of Scrooge, in fact, everyone has been prepared for a long time. So when Scrooge told them that Kroll would be in direct charge of the metallurgical system in the future, no one was surprised.

All morning, Scrooge took Carol and Catherine to work. First of all, he met with the managers of each department and asked them to introduce the work content and work of each department to Kroll. Then it was time to inspect the various important workshops of the factory.

Going to the workshop of a steel company to inspect is not like going out on an outing. There was a lot of heat in the workshop, and there was a lot of noise everywhere, so even Scrooge built a yì so that Catherine didn't have to go, and she could take a good rest in the office.

Catherine, however, said she was keen to see how steel was made. But Catherine herself understood that she just didn't want to be alone in this office. Catherine has always felt that among women, she can be regarded as a bold one, but suddenly coming to such a strange place, if there is no familiar person around, it is simply terrible. Therefore, she can only choose to follow Carol closely and never leave.

However, when she actually walked into the workshop, Catherine realized that she might really follow Scrooge's advice and stay in the office instead of running here. Because it was so terrible that he imagined it. They came to the ore crushing plant first. There was a loud rumbling noise that Catherine's scalp felt straight. Here, you can't talk at all, even if you are facing each other and yelling like a Taiwanese actor in a romantic drama in later generations, the person on the other side can't hear anything.

"No wonder he didn't bring the female secretary who had been with him." Catherine thought, "He would have felt sorry for his female secretary, but he had treated me like an animal." ”

In this environment, even an authentic brute like Scrooge couldn't stay long. He just took Carol around in a hurry and left.

After walking a long way, everyone regained the ability to speak.

"Oh my God, it's a terrible noise. I still feel dizzy. Catherine said palely, "How can the workers stand the work there all day?" ”

"Most of the workers who work here have terrible hearing." "There's no way around it." In fact, we have already adopted some measures to protect workers' hearing, such as shortening working hours and providing earplugs for workers. However, due to technical limitations, the effect is actually very limited. Scrooge replied.

"Catherine, do you want to go back and get some rest?" Kroll said with concern.

"No, no!" Catherine said, "If you can bear it, so can I." ”

Scrooge glanced at Catherine, who was making a determined appearance, in surprise, and thought to himself, "It seems that this woman has the potential to be used as an animal." ”

Then they visited the blast furnace and converter steelmaking, and the day passed.

When the sun set, Scrooge and his party finally returned home.

At dinner, a tired and hungry Catherine felt like her waist was about to break, and she had to work hard to make sure she didn't slip off her chair and onto the floor. However, old Joseph was present at dinner, so she had to brace herself to maintain the proper demeanor of a noble lady.

After Joseph Sr. had taken the lead in reciting the prayer, dinner began. In the tutors of the English aristocracy, casual conversation was not allowed at dinner. But MacDonald's family didn't seem to care much about this rule, for example, Scrooge asked Joseph Sr. about his fishing while eating, and Joseph Sr. completely forgot the rules when others mentioned his hobbies, and the father and son actually chatted at the dinner table.

"This is also ...... After running for a day, this guy is still so energetic, what a brute! Catherine thought to herself as she continued to maintain her graceful eating motion.

Soon the dinner was over, and the waiters came up and packed up the dishes. Everyone went back to their rooms.

If it had been yesterday or the day before yesterday, as soon as he got back to his room, closed the door, and closed the curtains, Kroll would have taken Catherine into his arms in a hurry, and then began to do the things that were embarrassing. Catherine would also be interested in these things. And then, today, when she entered the room, Catherine collapsed on the bed without even kicking off her shoes. As for her husband, he fell straight beside her like a dead body, and then snored with lightning speed.

"I'm going to the mine and the dock tomorrow, what should I do tomorrow!" Catherine burst into tears helplessly.
