Early the next morning.

Li Chen stretched his waist, shook his neck twice, and looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already past seven o'clock.

Last night he vaguely remembered that the last time he looked at his watch was at half past eight, which means that he slept for almost eleven hours.

Li Chen, who had slept enough, saw that the room was empty, the bed of the first uncle was neatly packed, and the quilt was also put into the cabinet.

Li Chen folded the quilt and prepared to go to the yard to wash his face.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw an aunt with a big black circle under her eyes.

"Li Chen, you're awake." An aunt yawned and said listlessly: "Your uncle went to work, and before leaving, he asked me to take you to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy clothes, and then go to each house to recognize the door." ”

"The rice is in the pot, I'll make up for sleep first, I didn't sleep well last night."

Aunt Yi didn't care how Li Chen reacted, she went straight to the bed, changed her clothes and fell asleep, and in less than a minute, there was a slight snoring, obviously she didn't sleep at all last night.

Li Chen didn't care about him, and after washing, he saw that the cabbage and wotou in the pot were still hot.

It should be said that the food at Yi Zhonghai's house is really good, Wotou is not pure cornmeal, it is mixed with a lot of white flour, and it tastes good.

............

Yi Zhonghai went out early in the morning, and when he arrived at the workshop, the whole workshop was empty.

Yi Zhonghai found a comfortable position, put on a few paper shells, and fell asleep with his overalls.

As an eighth-level worker in the factory, naturally no one dared to wake him up.

Even the director didn't care about him, except for technical reasons, Yi Zhonghai has worked hard in the rolling mill for so many years, and there has never been such a situation.

There must be a reason for this.

It wasn't until the bell rang at noon that Jia Dongxu woke up the sleeping Yi Zhonghai.

"Master! Master! ”

Yi Zhonghai opened his eyes in a daze, and his whole person was in a state of chaos.

"Huh~? What's wrong? ”

Jia Dongxu stopped the movements of his hands, "It's time for the master to eat, it's time to eat!" ”

Yi Zhonghai suddenly became energetic, and only then did he realize that he was in the workshop.

"Ouch, I just want to stare at it, why don't you tell me to get up, what a delay!" Yi Zhonghai said with some annoyance: "Yesterday, the director gave me a few precision parts, which will be delivered tonight." ”

"Don't worry, master!" Jia Dongxu said with relief: "The director gave that batch of precision parts to Master Liu, he is a sixth-level worker, and there is no problem in handling it!" ”

Yi Zhonghai still feels a little guilty, he has been conscientious for so many years, and he has never affected his work because of his personal interests.

Even on weekdays, it is the master who is slightly injured and cannot get out of the line of fire.

In the early sixties, there were not a few eighth-level fitters in the whole capital, and there were more eighth-level trade unions in the northeast.

Yi Zhonghai has been able to go from the war years to today, in addition to talent, hard work and dedication are of course essential.

"Let's eat first!" Yi Zhonghai wiped his face with his rough big hand to make himself more sober, "I'll talk to our director when I come back in the afternoon." ”

"In one afternoon, I should be able to finish the rest of the work with Master Liu, but I really can't work overtime."

Jia Dongxu was very puzzled, in his eyes, Yi Zhonghai, as an eighth-level worker in the factory, would be lazy after resting for a while.

Anyway, no one dares to have an opinion, even if the director doesn't like it, when there are really special precision parts to be processed, don't you still have to beg Yi Zhonghai to do it.

This is also the reason why Jia Dongxu has worked under Yi Zhonghai for several years, and now he is only a regular, and he has not even been admitted to the first-level work.

He always thought that as long as Yi Zhonghai was in the factory, he would be able to suck blood on weekdays, and his life would definitely not be bad.

But Li Chen's arrival shattered Jia Dongxu's calculations.

.............

Near noon, an aunt woke up slowly, and saw Li Chen talking happily with the aunt in the yard from the window at this time.

Only Jia Zhang looked at each other coldly.

During the day, the courtyard houses are mostly filled with women and children under school age, and most of the men work in the rolling mills.

In the era of lack of entertainment, people are most enthusiastic about gathering around the mountains.

Seeing that Li Chen could get along well with the neighbors in the yard, Aunt Yi felt a lot more relieved.

Originally, I thought that Li Chen was from the countryside, and he was young, so it was difficult to integrate into the courtyard.

Aunt Yi didn't sleep all night, ate early in the morning and watched it early, and when she woke up, she could feel the hunger in her belly.

She was preparing a hot meal and walked over to the stove and reached out to see that the pot was hot.

The leftover wowotou and cabbage in the morning were steaming hot, and looking at the amount of wowotou, Li Chen hadn't eaten at noon.

"This kid!" At this time, an aunt's heart was warm.

"Li Chen~! Came back for dinner! Aunt Yi leaned on the doorframe and shouted into the yard.

When the other aunts saw the figure of the aunt, they greeted them with a smile.

"Aunt Yi woke up, this relative of yours is really good, the young man is very good!"

"You and Uncle Yi don't have children, you must be relieved to have Li Chen."

"This kid is benevolent and kind, I know that you didn't sleep well yesterday, and we chatted very quietly."

“......”

An aunt had a heartfelt smile on her face, who doesn't like others to praise their children.

Although Li Chen has just integrated into this family, except for snoring, an aunt is very satisfied with him.

Li Chen scratched the back of his head shyly, "Aunts, I'll go back to eat first, my aunt got up early in the morning, and she is probably hungry, and she can't let her wait for me to eat." ”

Li Chen walked to Yi Zhonghai's house in the praise of many aunts.

Jia Zhang's eyes turned white, and muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "What can I do if I am good, I am not biological, sooner or later I will give this person named Li Chen a whole out." ”
