Chapter 63: The Carpenter's Wonder
Lu Xiaole's happy life continued.
During the day, he worked in a furniture factory, and at night he and his grandfather occasionally worked on the orchard.
If the orchard is too busy, he will also take half a day or a day off to help his grandfather with farm work, so that he will not be too tired.
As for the work in the furniture factory, he is even more comfortable and has become more and more skilled.
In the furniture factory, the most technical process is carpentry, and the other processes have no technical content, and anyone can do it.
The average carpenter, from the beginning to be able to make a simple table and chair, it takes three months to half a year fast, and as for some complex furniture, it takes more than a year.
But Lu Xiaole can see it, and he will be fine in a while, and he can make simple tables and chairs in less than a month after entering the factory, and in less than three months, he can make more complex furniture, and his craftsmanship is almost not under the two masters.
This made the factory director Song Chaoying very surprised and appreciated.
Although there are two masters in the factory, the best carpenter is still the factory director Song Chaoying.
Ordinary furniture, Song Chaoying didn't shoot at all, and the work was made by two masters.
Unless the customer requires a complex and cumbersome process, he will personally go into battle.
For example, the customer requires that the furniture be hand-carved with patterns such as landscapes, flowers and birds, and it is difficult for the master to meet the requirements.
It is because of Song Chaoying's excellent craftsmanship that he can stand out among the dozens of furniture factories around Gaozhuang and become the largest furniture factory, which is also his capital of "standing out from the crowd".
Song Chaoying found that Lu Xiaole was a "carpenter", and decided to teach him personally and train Lu Xiaole to become a "new generation force" in the factory.
In the process of personally teaching Lu Xiaole, Song Chaoying was even more surprised to find that Lu Xiaole not only taught him, but even far exceeded his expectations.
For example, when he learned to carve a pattern of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", he studied for a whole month before he was a little presentable.
But Lu Xiaole carved it out in less than a week, which was much more beautiful than the line drawing he carved back then.
Song Chaoying was even more puzzled in amazement: With Lu Xiaole's intelligence, why didn't he get admitted to high school back then?
Although smart people do not necessarily have good academic performance, people with good academic performance may not be smarter.
But Song Chaoying found that Lu Xiaole's comprehensive ability is very strong, not only has a strong learning ability, but also has a strong operation ability---- he is lazy and unwilling to do it, but as long as he wants to do it, there are almost no things that can stump him.
Song Chaoying also found that Lu Xiaole not only has a strong ability to operate as a craftsman, but also has a strong ability to learn the knowledge in books.
For example, a while ago, Song Chaoying lent Lu Xiaole a few medical books, and a few days later, Lu Xiaole came to return them.
Song Chaoying was surprised and asked Song Xiaole if he had finished reading it? Song Xiaole smiled and said that not only did I read it, but I also remembered it all in my mind, and I will slowly digest it in the future.
Song Chaoying didn't believe it, so she turned a few pages casually to test Lu Xiaole, but she didn't expect Lu Xiaole to answer fluently and without mistakes.
Song Chaoying had to admit that Lu Xiaole's memory was super strong.
If it is said that being a good craftsman does not mean that the academic performance is good, but within a few days, you can memorize all the boring and esoteric medical books in your mind, which explains the problem.
"With Lu Xiaole's ability to memorize medical books and memorize those non-esoteric junior high school knowledge, how could he not be admitted to high school?"
Song Chaoying asked Lu Xiaole this question with doubts.
Lu Xiaole just smiled: "Uncle, it's okay for me to memorize some idle books, but it's not okay to memorize some things in textbooks." As soon as I saw the textbook, my head was so big that I couldn't remember anything. ”
Song Chaoying was skeptical, and asked her daughter Song Xiulian this question.
"Xiaolian, Xiaole's memory is so strong, how was his academic performance back then?"
"His results weren't particularly good, he was only above average. He usually patronizes to play and not study, but when the exam is about to come, as long as he scrupulously spends time to revise for a few days, he will be able to improve his grades immediately. I persuaded him that with his cleverness, as long as he studied hard, he would definitely be the first in the class, but he just smiled and pretended to be crazy and stupid, so angry that I didn't care about him anymore. ”
Song Chaoying was even more puzzled:
"Since before the exam, he stepped up his revision for a few days and was able to improve his grades, but at such an important juncture as the high school entrance examination, why didn't he seize the time to review and strive to be admitted to high school?"
Song Xiulian hesitated for a moment and said to her father:
"I don't know, maybe he was crazy in the past few days and forgot to work hard."
Song Chaoying: "Then why doesn't he repeat his studies for one year and take the high school exam the next year?" ”
Song Xiulian: "When he was about to repeat his studies, his father and Li Shuying's affair was discovered by his mother, and his mother dragged his father to work in the south. In order to help his grandfather with farm work at home, he did not repeat his studies. He was worried that his grandfather was getting older, and if he fell and bumped into it, he didn't know it at school, and he wouldn't be able to take care of his grandfather if he knew. That's my guess, though, he never said that, but he certainly thought so. ”
Song Chaoying sighed: "This kid usually smiles, but I didn't expect him to be so filial." Hey, I've delayed this kid, if he can repeat his studies for another year, his future is limitless, and he is likely to do better than your brother. ”
Song Xiulian's elder brother Song Qingyun was admitted to a prestigious university with the third place in the county, which has always been Song Chaoying's proudest thing, and it is also the capital that he looks down on others.
Song Xiulian heard her father say that Lu Xiaole might do better than her brother in the exam, and she knew that her father was now impressed by Lu Xiaole.
She also knew that although her father was good to Lu Xiaole, because Lu Xiaole was not admitted to high school, her father looked down on Lu Xiaole in his heart, thinking that Lu Xiaole was an uncompetitive child.
Only she knows why Lu Xiaole didn't step up her time to prepare for the exam during the period before she was admitted to high school, but only she knows this reason, she can't tell her parents, and she can't tell anyone.
Song Chaoying was indeed impressed by Lu Xiaole, put away the arrogance of looking down on Lu Xiaole, and began to teach Lu Xiaole, preparing to make Lu Xiaole the "first carpenter" in the factory.
Lu Xiaole didn't know the conversation between Song Chaoying's father and daughter, and he didn't seem to feel Song Chaoying's change in attitude towards him, he was still smiling, as if he didn't care about anything, and he was a "free and optimistic faction", but in his work, he almost never made mistakes.
On this day, Lu Xiaole was working, and a woman walked over at the gate of the factory and entered the workshop.
Lu Xiaole looked up, his heart jumped, and the person who came turned out to be Chao Chunli, who had a "one-time love" with him.
