Just after the New Year, the people in Sijiu City have already begun to run for their livelihoods in the following year.

It's not like there is any vacation like in later generations, what is going to school after fifteen, everyone in this era is dedicating their youth, especially in the era when their living conditions are facing severe challenges, even if they are people in Sijiu City, they must prepare for life in advance.

Yang Xiaotao greeted the Zhou family brothers and sisters in the second year of junior high school, and also called several peers of the Wang family over.

Also coming with the Wang family's aunt asked her to help cook.

In this meal, braised pork, pot meat and roast chicken became the protagonists, which made Aunt Wang, who cooked, speechless, their men worked in the meat factory and had never eaten such a meal during the Chinese New Year.

A few children didn't think about it so much, the large piece of braised pork swallowed saliva when they looked at it, and after a big pot of stew, the whole room was full of meat aroma, and then the whole yard was filled with aroma.

Naturally, it attracted a burst of discussion.

Among them, Jia Zhang's eyes were triangular, and he sprayed feces in his mouth, but he was eager to go in and take a bite.

In the end, Jia Dongxu couldn't help it, so he asked Qin Huairu to take two taels of pork and send it to Silly Zhu, and ate it at Silly Zhu's house for lunch.

After the second year of junior high school, Yang Xiaotao continued to read books at home, but his days were also leisurely.

Of course, it would be nice if someone cooked for him.

In the third year of junior high school, Yang Xiaotao and Zhou Peng went to Wang Fa and other workers together, but they haven't started work yet, so naturally there is time.

Later, until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there was no meal in the past few days, and I went to Uncle Chen's house next door from time to time to eat, of course, I always brought things with me.

However, this year, Yang Xiaotao has a good relationship with several families in the yard, perhaps because he was already good friends with the Yang family, but he was frightened by the outbreak of Yang Xiaotao a year ago.

So far, Yang Xiaotao has his own small circle in this courtyard.

Uncle Chen's family and Wang Dashan's family are the core existence.

In addition, there is also the Zhou family, several workers' families.

These are not simple friends of wine and meat.

The warm and simple society made Yang Xiaotao feel a different flavor of humanity again, and unconsciously, the nostalgia for the previous life in his mind was fading, and these were things that Yang Xiaotao did not pay attention to.

On the sixth day of the new year, Xiaowei flew around the house in the morning, a little excited.

Today is a good day, the sun has come out early, and it is radiating temperature.

Xiao Wei ran into the window and flew to the door frame, greedily absorbing the energy in the light.

In the past few days, the entire house has been repaired by Xiaowei, and after the originally ventilated doors and windows were repaired, they were no worse than the double-glazed glass in the previous life, at least the cold wind could not blow in.

On top of that, the mottled table has flattened out, and the musty smell on the bed has disappeared.

What's even more incredible is that the cold as iron quilt turned out to be soft, like new cotton, and it was very warm on the body.

Not only that, the cotton clothes and pants worn on the body have not changed on the outside, but the cotton on the inside is like re-blooming, and the warmth has been improved several times compared to before.

Yang Xiaotao got up, opened the door and looked at the courtyard, feeling Xiaowei's excitement, thinking about how to use this small courtyard.

After all, this is in the courtyard, except for this ear room, there is no other place.

Moreover, this is the property that his father bought and really belongs to the Yang family.

Thinking of the value of such a small courtyard and such a house in this forty-nine city decades later, Yang Xiaotao wanted to go back to the house to offer incense to his father.

"It's still a little small, and when it opens, I must buy a few more sets of courtyards."

"When the time comes, standing in front of your children and grandchildren, you can proudly say, look, this is the country that Lao Tzu laid for you."

Yang Xiaotao fell into a state of obscenity, but was woken up by the cold wind.

"Let's earn money to fill our stomachs first."

Walked out the door, grabbed a bucket of water from the faucet and carried it home.

After a simple wash, I walked out of the gate with the people working in the yard.

In the crowd, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong walked together, behind Jia Dongxu and Silly Zhu, and then Xu Damao with a gloomy face.

This year, Xu Damao went back to the countryside with his father and mother, and only came back on the fifth day of the junior high school, at this time, he followed behind Xu's father, looked at Yang Xiaotao with hatred on his face, and when he saw the stupid pillar, he was a little dodgy.

Last time, Silly Zhu hadn't settled accounts with him yet.

He doesn't simply think that Silly Zhu swallowed this breath, he knows Silly Zhu that Silly Zhu is the kind of person who has revenge.

It's just a matter of time or night.

Thundered

Walking into the workshop, the familiar voice sounded again.

As a fitter, it is natural to be familiar with all kinds of related operations.

These mainly include chiseling, filing, sawing, scribing, drilling, reaming, tapping and threading (see threading), scraping, grinding, straightening, bending and riveting.

Of course, the simple summary is machining parts and equipment repair.

For Yang Xiaotao, equipment maintenance is too far away and too mysterious.

In the entire rolling mill, there are only a few dozen people who can repair the equipment, and those people are no longer fitters, but engineers above the eighth-level fitters.

Already qualified to repair the device.

Of course, from the eighth-level fitter to the ninth-level engineer, it is a trench.

Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would not have been an eighth-level worker for so many years.

Yang Xiaotao came to the workstation, wiped the vice clean, and then placed the tools neatly and put them in a convenient place.

Because of the promotion to the first level of fitter, the assigned tasks are naturally heavier and more difficult.

In this respect, the work of fitters is more like distribution according to work, and good work is naturally paid high.

Compared with the later household contract responsibility system, it is much earlier.

Before the start of construction, Director Wang Guodong said a bunch of words as usual, and then in the excitement, everyone shouted slogans.

The whole third workshop is full of energy, and a group of workers are full of passion.

Yang Xiaotao took over the task assigned by Wang Fa and began to work.

For fitters, it's a physical job.

Fortunately, after Xiaowei's continuous energy feedback in the past few days, her physical fitness has steadily improved, as long as she eats to keep up, Yang Xiaotao estimates that in another year, her physical fitness will be first-class in this workshop.

The morning passed quickly, and Yang Xiaotao followed the workers into the canteen.

The factory also knows that the workers work hard, so the food has a lot of oil and water, although the taste is worse than that of the restaurant outside, but the ingredients will never be saved.

Yang Xiaotao was at the back, holding a two-tael vegetable ticket, a one-tael meat ticket and a two-tael steamed bun ticket.

These are paid together with the salary, but there are differences in different positions and different grades.

But purchasing power is universal in these four or nine cities.

Of course, there is also a type of food stamp, called the national food stamp.

This food stamp is literal and can be used throughout the country.

Because this food stamp can be exchanged for cooking oil, if you want to go out, you must exchange a certain number of national food stamps.

And this exchange ratio is not one-to-one, and sometimes it is common for two local food stamps of the same value to be exchanged for one national food stamp.

Yang Xiaotao took the food stamp, and with his 21 fitter's salary and single ticket, not to mention eating meat at every meal, even eating meat in the factory.

It's just that before I got close to dinner, I saw the stupid pillar standing in the window.

I thought of something in my heart, and I was a little tired, but I didn't take it seriously.

If you really want to disgust yourself, then don't blame him for revenge in the future.

At this time, Silly Zhu is not a chef yet, so he still has to do such things as cooking.

Silly Zhu also saw Yang Xiaotao, and the corners of his mouth curled.

The team quickly stepped forward, and it was finally Yang Xiaotao's turn.

Looking at the stupid pillar's smug appearance, Yang Xiaotao ignored him, took the lunch box and put it down, and shouted loudly, "One potato, one meat dish." Two steamed buns. ”

The corner of Silly Zhu's mouth pulled, snorted coldly, and then a spoon was accurately fished out, and a flat spoon came down, and a layer of meat was piled on top of the spoon.

Fat and thin, looking at it is full of temptation.

Silly Zhu held the spoon in the air and put it down on Yang Xiaotao's lunch box, but at the moment it fell, his wrist shook slightly, and the top piece of meat fell down.

Waiting for the rice spoon to be buckled in the lunch box, there was a layer of oily cabbage leaves on it, but there were only one or two pieces of meat in the original upper layer, which were buckled at the bottom, and others couldn't see it, only saw that the raised spoon was covered with meat, but Yang Xiaotao saw it clearly, and there were three pieces of meat in this meal.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, took the lunch box and left.

The silly pillar in front of the window was happy, and when Yang Xiaotao ate it, he found that it would be very uncomfortable if there was not much meat?

I was happy in my heart and continued to cook for others.

If you meet a good friend, play more; When you encounter an eyesore, you start shaking the spoon.

Especially Xu Damao, who got the same treatment as Yang Xiaotao at the window of the stupid pillar, looked at the stupid pillar and smiled proudly. Xu Damao could only return to his seat with a stinky donkey face, pulling the food, and his mouth was not a taste.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao on the other side, Xu Damao picked up the lunch box and came to the opposite side with a roll of his eyes.

"Xiao Tao, this stupid pillar is not a thing. I'll give me a piece of meat if I have a meat ticket or two, it's too much of a thing. ”

Xu Damao said as he looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao ignored him, finished eating quickly, got up and covered the lunch box to clean.

Xu Damao said that he was lonely, and angrily inserted his chopsticks into the lunch box, and the whole person became gloomy.

Yang Xiaotao ignored Xu Damao, because he knew that Xu Damao was not a good person, even worse than a stupid pillar.

With such a person, you may be betrayed at some point.

After eating, find a sunny place next to the vehicle to sit down, there is no central air conditioning now, the workshop is ventilated everywhere, and the body is warm when you get up to work, once you are idle or cold panic.

There was an hour and a half of meal break at noon, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Fa chatted for a while, and then took out a book from his arms and read it.

He also knows that it is better to rely on the system to improve the ability of fitters now.

As long as the credits are enough, the ability can be improved.

There was also a grading assessment in March this year, and he wanted to eat more meat.

In the afternoon, I continued to go to work, and it was another busy afternoon.

When the sunset and the factory bell rang, Yang Xiaotao put down his work and tidied up the workstation before walking out of the workshop.

The sky was gloomy, dark and depressing, as if rain and snow were brewing overhead, making Yang Xiaotao speed up his home.

Back in the courtyard, the lights of every house are lit, the smell of rice begins to rise, and there is a sense of fireworks in the world.

Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door and looked at the small mechanism laid before leaving, but no one entered his room.

Make a fire, warm the house, read a book, and tease Xiaowei.

Then, sleep.
