Chapter 208, The Sewing Machine
"Master, I heard from the grapevine that our factory is going to hold a night school, is there such a thing?"
At the stall where Jiang Yan and Liu Haizhong were drinking, after Jia Dongxu finished eating, he came directly to Yi Zhonghai's house.
Now, Jia Dongxu is a little dissatisfied with the pretentiousness of his master Yi Zhonghai in this section.
His master Yi Zhonghai only had one apprentice before, and it can be said that he was loved by thousands of people, and he was not at all like other workers who helped the master for three years after apprenticeship, and he taught himself by hand.
But now the situation has changed, although he and his master Yi Zhonghai were transferred to the new factory, but their family was not assigned to the workshop.
What's more, my master didn't know what stimulation he had, except for accepting Yan Xie as an apprentice, he accepted three or four apprentices in one go.
It's also a little distant from yourself, and this love will shift.
Today, I heard from my co-workers about the fact that I ran a night school, so I came over to ask my master Yi Zhonghai.
"Who are you listening to?" Hearing his apprentice's words, Yi Zhonghai asked a little puzzled.
"Listen to what the co-workers say."
Hearing his apprentice speak, Yi Zhonghai nodded.
"There is such a thing, but I heard that it is to train new workers, and the knowledge of first- and second-level workers is basically talked about."
"Master, can I go and listen." Jia Dongxu looked at the face of his master Yi Zhonghai and whispered.
Hearing his apprentice's words, Yi Zhonghai's face froze, and after a while, he said to Jia Dongxu: "It's better for you to listen to it, and see what difference they have between what they have said and what I have said." It's not that there is a saying that the stones of other mountains can attack jade, and there is no harm in learning more. ”
Hearing that his master did not object to going to night school, Jia Dongxu's heart became happy.
When the factory went to night school before, Jia Dongxu wanted to go, but was stopped by his master Yi Zhonghai.
When I started to learn the second-level fitter, I felt that it was a bit difficult to learn without culture. At this time, Jia Dongxu regretted a little that he didn't go to night school.
You see, in the bangs that came back from night school, they are not a mixed bag.
"How is the blind date arranged for you by your mother?" Yi Zhonghai's culture brought Jia Dongxu back to his senses.
"It's almost time to get ready for the bride price!" Jia Dongxu said a little embarrassed.
"So fast." Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise, and at the same time felt a little unhappy in his heart, he had prepared a bride price, and he didn't say a word to his master! It's a bit too self-conscious.
Although I complained in my heart, my face was not as fast as mine.
"What's the climate in this girl's house?" Yi Zhonghai then asked again.
"Shidu over there."
"Rural," Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise when he heard the news.
Feeling that what he said was a little inappropriate, he opened his mouth to explain: "I don't mean to look down on rural people. I mean, if you marry him, your life will be very stressful in the future, you see that your mother is a rural hukou, and she has not eaten the supply of food now, it all depends on your monthly ration, if you are a person who has no ration, how can you afford it. ”
"I don't have to ask if I can't do it quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have come to ask the master, go to night school to study, I want to improve my level as much as possible, and if the salary is high, I can afford to buy food on the black market."
Speaking of this, Jia Dongxu smiled self-deprecatingly.
"I know that what you said just now is good intentions to me, but there is no way that the situation in my family is like this, there is only one room, and I have seen a few girls with jobs in the city before, but people look down on our family, and it will be over, this is not my mother asked the matchmaker to introduce me to a girl in the countryside, and people don't dislike me for poor conditions."
Hearing his apprentice's words, Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, he stood up and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.
"Starting tomorrow, come to me when you are resting, and I will tell you all the key points of the second worker."
"Wait a minute." After Yi Zhonghai said this, he left Jia Dongxu, who was a little overwhelmed, to sit there, but he turned around and returned to the house.
After a while, Yi Zhonghai walked back again.
"Here you go, those are!"
"No, I can't ask for it, writing things is too expensive, my apprentice Liu hasn't bought you anything, I really can't ask for this thing."
The thing handed over by this uncle, Yi Zhonghai, was not an identifying thing, but a sewing ticket and money to buy a sewing machine.
In this era, the sewing machine is a rare thing, and it is not easy for Yi Zhonghai, a sixth-level fitter, to get this thing, not to mention that he also gave out the money to buy a sewing machine.
"It's a waste to put this thing here with me, so you can take it! It's a wedding gift from your master and me. ”
"No, master, it's really not good, this is not a two-dollar thing, I have seen the ticket for this sewing machine on the black market, just this ticket costs thirty or forty yuan, plus the money to buy a sewing machine is almost two hundred yuan, too much."
Jia Dongxu's head shook like a rattle, then he resolutely did not accept it, in his concept, he had dragged down his master a lot, and now he was taking the money and sewing machine given by the master, and the other brothers knew that they were not alive anymore, what was the difference between them and sucking blood on the master.
"Listen to me." Seeing that his apprentice did not accept it, Yi Zhonghai was very happy, he really didn't misunderstand Jia Dongxu, this is a good boy who knows how to measure and know etiquette.
"I don't mean anything else to buy you a sewing machine, but you have called me a master for so many years, and I will give you a big piece when you get married, and others in the province can't see clearly, and I can't see my old face clearly!"
"This is also the fact that with this sewing machine, after getting married, your daughter-in-law can take a little work from the neighborhood committee, earn a little money to subsidize the family, and reduce your burden a little, you can't clean up the housework at home like your mother! Two people pack up the housework, do you have so many things to pack in your house? You see, no matter the eldest girl or the little daughter-in-law in our yard, as long as they are people who have no job, they will basically go to the neighborhood committee to get a little matchbox and go home to make paste to earn a little subsidy for the family. ”
Hearing his master say that his mother Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu did not refute it.
Her mother herself has a bit of a headache, and she is okay when her father is not dead, and she can be regarded as a good wife and mother.
But since her father left, she didn't know what to stimulate, people were a lot lazy, if it wasn't really unbearable, she basically didn't touch this work, just occasionally took the soles of her shoes, made insoles, and the insoles and shoes that appeared were basically sold by her, and the money from the sale was not seen by herself, and she was put away by her mother.
"Alright, let's do it! Your master, my salary is not low. ”
After Yi Zhonghai said this, he forcibly stuffed the sewing ticket and the money to buy a sewing machine into Jia Dongxu's hand.
"Okay, manly man, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are like something."
"Thank you, master." Seeing what the city stuffed into his hands, Jia Dongxu thanked him at the beginning, and there was basically no other way to express it.
