Chapter XVII
Since I graduated, the communication with the previous classmates is not so frequent, the changes in the social circle make the common topics available for us to communicate between us are less and less, at the beginning of those days, we will occasionally talk about daily life, talk about encounters, and then the most basic greetings are more and more luxurious, and later, the rise of WeChat slowly replaced our original social tools, people in QQ slowly became the so-called people of the past, and some students with good relationships later completed the transfer of communication software exchanges, But the interaction between us is more limited to likes in the circle of friends, and time blurs a lot of things that have been.
As for Lin Chuxue, it wasn't until that time that I realized that I didn't even have a so-called mutual friend with her, and it was not suitable for me to casually ask others about her, and the occasional interaction with her on weekdays was just a simple politeness. In the Chinese New Year's Eve, a year after I graduated, I called her in the name of New Year's greetings, and we didn't talk much, she was very smart, she knew my thoughts, and there was a deliberate distancing in the conversation, and I could hear it.
The three-year period of high school is about to expire, which prompts me to speed up the process of becoming a teacher, I need more time to hone my skills, do more practice to improve my skills, but most of the daytime needs to follow the arrangements of the masters, and I don't have much rich time, so from then on, I began to stay up late every day. Sheet metal spray workshop needs to work overtime frequently, which is especially different from other teams in the after-sales system, many times to do eight or nine o'clock to end the day's work, the master said that only in this way can ensure the on-time delivery of the next day vehicle, the construction schedule is a little tighter, in order to reflect the difference between the 4S shop and the repair shop on the timeliness, many car owners arrive at the store in the afternoon, the next morning to pick up the car, do not work overtime can not hand over the car, can not hand over the car company reputation is poor, the company's poor reputation will affect the customer's visit, If customers don't work, there will be less, and if there is less work, the company will not make money, and if the company has no money to make money, the wages of employees will be low, and business is like this, there is no way.
If the overtime before 9 o'clock was for the company, then after 9 o'clock it was purely for me, and every day after that, I would curl up at a certain station in the factory for a few hours after others got off work to continue my hard work, and those vehicles with long construction periods and not so anxious delivery became my experiments to improve my skills. Those days were boring, and I was quietly trying to surprise everyone.
The younger brother will work overtime with me in the first few days, we are driven by the catfish effect to improve each other a lot, and then he left, went to other 4S stores, he always thought that he was an apprentice, but almost every day of the day time was wasted on those trivial things, the practice of operating a process that he was not familiar with can only be carried out after work, plus without the guidance of the master, he can not accept it, and another reason is that the involution between me is too serious, if he works overtime for two hours, I must add three hours, he works overtime for three hours, I am at least three and a half. At that time, I was not deliberately targeting him, but I was just using my own way to express to the other masters the illusion that I was working harder than anyone else, which was a confrontation with them in another way. The two main reasons are that he gave up the reason to continue his studies there and decided to find a platform that is more suitable for his own development.
After the junior brother left, the masters also let go of the shackles on me, first of all, the boss said to focus on training, and the other reason is that the work I did slowly no longer need the finishing of others, and they are also willing to do the work that originally belonged to them, just like that, less than half a year, I came out of the division, nominally the second-in-command of the sheet metal spraying group, but the strength has been affirmed by almost everyone around me, a car from the entry to the factory basically does not need the participation of others I can complete it alone.
Not long after, the boss arranged for a relative of his own to be my apprentice, and by that time, it took me only about a year to go from getting started to proficient in the business of car painting, and the people around me no longer said that I was a little apprentice in the painting group, but the youngest master Ye in the group. Thankfully, I finally did what I needed to do before they graduated.
Not long after I finished my studies, I thought about leaving, I have completed the previous agreement with my mother, there is really no need to continue to waste my youth in an industry that I am not interested in, I have no direction at that time, I don't know where to go, what to do, the future is a general direction, I am only twenty years old, I still have a lot of possibilities, I need to think about it.
After the college entrance examination, I saw various graduation photos and pictures posted by my former high school friends on social platforms, graduation trips and blessing booklets from those around me, and they finally completed their respective upgrades. My sister was admitted to a local kindergarten teacher college as she wished; Fa Xiao Zhao Bing chose to be a full-time business student after graduation, but his unsatisfactory grades made him give up the fantasy of continuing to study; The bald head Qiang Zhiqiang seems to have achieved the position of the president of the student union in the third year of high school, and he used his position to find a girlfriend in the second year of high school, and his grades were not very good. Jianbin went to be a soldier, and he was interviewed by the school once in a fight in his sophomore year of high school, and decided to go to the army to take root in the same year, but he did not appear in their photos; Lin Chuxue also graduated successfully and went to a school in Taiyuan, as for where it was, she didn't say.
Around the National Day of that year, I submitted my resignation to the boss because I wanted to go back to the city near my hometown to develop, and Datong was not my destination after all. The boss rarely lost his temper with me, it is not easy to train an apprentice, the cost and energy wasted are difficult to measure with numbers, since ancient times, people have been saying, three years of apprenticeship, two years of service, I obviously did not do this in place. In less than a year, the salary rose from 500 at the beginning to more than 3,000 later, he thought that he did not treat me badly, but I chose to leave when I succeeded, his chill can be imagined. Seeing that he couldn't persuade me, he told me to leave if you want, I can't keep your big Buddha in this temple. On the day he left, he specially organized a dinner and told me that if I went out, I would come back if I thought I was good, and his eyes were full of loneliness. I was too selfish, and there was nothing in that place that I was worthy of staying, and he became the first person I felt sorry for after I left society.
In less than two years in Datong, I have not had the opportunity to go out and walk around, I should say that I have not thought that from the day I first arrived to the time I left, I was almost completely confined to the surrounding three kilometers, and later whenever someone asked me what was worth playing there, my answer was not very clear, not at all like the appearance of a young man who had lived there for a long time.
On the day I arrived in Taiyuan, I told Lin Chuxue the news that I had settled there, and I didn't ask her where she was, nor did I say that I wanted to meet her, but just told her that I came to her city, and I thought about it, if she dared to take a step forward, I would definitely accompany her to the end, and if she didn't go forward, I wouldn't go forward.
