Director Wang shook his head and said, "This year's electrician exam hosted by the district ended last week. Otherwise, with your initial knowledge of Chinese, you can really take the test if you study it. ”

After speaking, he shook his head with regret.

After Yan Jiecheng heard this, he said in his heart, okay. Although the circuit in this year is simple, the quality is poor, labor insurance is scarce, some protective measures are missing, and it is actually very dangerous to work as an electrician.

"That Aunt Wang...... Can I try lineman at the third rolling mill? ”

Director Wang shook his head regretfully and said, "Hey, although the line workers are regular workers, they have to be assessed in the rolling mill?" ”

It turned out that the third rolling mill was a public-private partnership with Boss Lou two years ago, and now the private sector has withdrawn and needs to be renovated and upgraded. Not only some of the rolling equipment from the northern neighbors, but also other facilities and equipment also need to be fully upgraded.

This would necessitate the construction of a railway from the rolling mill to the railway station for the transportation of ingots and products.

Come to think of it, the seven or eight cars in the rolling mill are not enough for logistics.

Therefore, it is mainly transported by rail.

"Aunt Wang, it's not a coincidence, I've been working for the Road Bureau for the past few months, and I've been learning about the route from the master inside every day." Yan Jiecheng looked at Director Wang and smiled.

Yan Jiecheng really asked a lot of questions from many masters in the past three months.

As an old colleague, seeing the old-timers of more than half a century ago, there are still many problems. For more than half a century, many technologies have been different, and the standards have been very different.

Besides, he is also suspected of flattery, hoping that others can see that he is diligent and studious, and give a job to a railway bureau.

As a result, everyone knows, the flattering eye was thrown to the blind.

It's lonely!

Director Wang smiled: "Good boy, wait for me here." Who made your kid sweet-mouthed, call me Aunt Wang. ”

As he spoke, he gave him a letter of introduction.

continued: "Don't let your kid call this aunt in vain, even if you don't pass the assessment, they will give you an apprentice status in front of me." ”

……

After Yan Jiecheng came out of the street office, he bought a pack of Xiangshan brand cigarettes in his pocket at the roadside supply and marketing cooperative. Rushed in the direction of the third rolling mill.

It's not too late, it's better to report early on the first day.

"Huh, Yan Jiecheng? What do you do here at the rolling mill? ”

Yan Jiecheng had just arrived at the gate of the rolling mill, poked his head into the gatehouse, and was about to show his ID to the doorman, when he heard someone shouting behind him.

Looking back, I saw Xu Damao following a man who was slightly older than the third master, four or five years old, and looking behind a man who was forty-two or thirteen, holding a cowhide box and coming out of the rolling mill.

Yan Xie Cheng said with a smile: "Da Mao, I'm here to report to the rolling mill, are you going out to show a movie with Uncle Xu?" ”

As he spoke, he said hello to Father Xu with a smile.

"Yan Jiecheng, have you found a job? Or a rolling mill? Xu Damao said with a look of disbelief.

"Ahem, ahem...... Congratulations. Da Mao and I are going to the countryside to show movies, so I won't talk to you more. Let your aunt stir-fry two dishes in the evening, let Da Mao take your yard, and you two drink some. Father Xu hurriedly interrupted Xu Damao's words and said to Yan Jiecheng with a smile.

When Xu Damao heard it, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, you must drink some at night." ”

"Definitely, definitely."

Yan Jiecheng responded with a smile. As the eldest son of the three masters, he must drink free wine.

Otherwise, Yan Lao in the family knew that he would not be able to enter the house. Do you believe it?

The three of them took a look at each other and went their separate ways.

"Uncle, this is my letter of introduction, I'm here to report." Yan Jiecheng handed over the letter of introduction, took out a Xiangshan cigarette and handed it to the uncle.

The porter looked at the letter of introduction and handed it to Yan Jiecheng. He lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Courtyard 95? A lot of your yard is from our factory. ”

smashed it, and then said: "This is different from other people's reports, others go to the personnel department or labor department first." You, you have to go to the transportation department to participate in the assessment first, and then report according to the assessment. ”

Then he said: "Of course, the personnel department is in charge of cadres, and the labor and management department is in charge of our workers' reports. ”

Subsequently, the uncle told Yan Jiecheng about the way to the transportation department. Finally, he admonished: "Don't walk around when you kid goes to the factory, don't ask people in time if you don't know the way, don't dare to walk around." ”

Yan Jiecheng looked around and grinned bitterly at the uncle.

You must know that there is a foyer outside, and there are two people standing guard with rifles on their backs, and the bright bayonets are shaking people's hearts.

Here in the porter, a pistol holster hangs on the wall behind the old man. I don't think it's about smashing walnuts.

Not far away, about thirty meters, it is clearly written about the Security Section.

Yan Jiecheng also knew that the state-owned factories in this period not only had the same security department as JC. The key is that there is also the armed forces, which are generally equipped with automatic weapons and mortars, and there are mountain guns at the point.

In my memory, in the eighties, the militia in the village, it was all equipped with semi-automatic weapons.

The years when all the people were soldiers are not talking.

"Section chief, someone has come to participate in the lineman assessment."

Yan Jiecheng went to the transportation section to explain the situation, and the clerk took him to the section chief's office on the second floor.

The head of the transportation section looked forty or fifty years old, the sleeve on the left was empty, and he looked at Yan Jiecheng with a serious face.

When Yan Jiecheng saw this section chief, he immediately admired it very much, it seemed that he was a demobilized cadre.

"Is it your kid who wants to take the lineman assessment?" The section chief said with a skeptical tone.

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said: "Leader, I graduated from junior high school and participated in the demolition construction of the ring line for three months, during which I learned from many masters. I also borrowed some books and studied on my own. It's not like I haven't had a job all the time, it just looks like our rolling mill is recruiting, so come and try it. ”

"Well, then tell me about the composition of our line?" The section chief asked casually.

Yan Jiecheng said: "Our railway lines are composed of rails, sleepers, track beds, connecting parts, turnouts, and reinforcing equipment. ”

"Well, that sounds like that. Xiao Zhang, you go and invite Deputy Section Chief Liu, Technician Cai, Master Wang, and Section Chief Chen of the Labor and Management Section to our conference room to conduct a cultural and theoretical assessment of Xiao Yan. The section chief commanded.

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng had a general understanding of the character of the section chief in front of him.

"Xiao Yan, sit." Then he threw a cigarette to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Smoke one." ”

Yan Jiecheng can't be rectified, this leader doesn't take himself as a leader, so I Yan Jiecheng can't do it.

Yan Jiecheng received the cigarette in a hurry, hurriedly walked to the section chief, and lit the cigarette for the section chief. Speaking of: "Leadership ......"

Before he finished speaking, the section chief said, "Xiao Yan, don't be nervous, don't be polite." My surname is Li, and everyone calls me Lao Li. ”

Yan Jiecheng is going crazy, this Lao Li, I'm afraid I don't want to call him Lao Li myself, Lao Li, you are a grandmother.

Yan Jiecheng echoed and smiled, but did not speak.

Section Chief Li smiled: "Xiao Yan, let's put it this way, as long as your theory and practice are not too bad, you will definitely be able to pass." ”

Looking at Yan Jiecheng's puzzled gaze, he continued: "You kid, but junior high school students, we are all big and coarse, especially in the railway workshop, a group of bosses, they don't know that it is a word when they fall down." ”
