Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng were both frowning and not responding, Qin Huairu became even more anxious.

A bad premonition flashed through his mind, and he spoke again: "Why don't you guys say something..."

"Is he going to be punished again at the steel mill?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai did not refute what he had just said, Qin Huairu's heart jumped, and the bad premonition in his mind became stronger. He stared at Yi Zhonghai and asked again: "If you are really punished, then have your wages at the steel mill been reduced?"

It is impossible to hide such a big thing.

Moreover, there are many neighbors in the same workshop, and the news that you were punished in the same workshop will spread within two or three days.

Rather than letting Qin Huairu know about this from other people, it would be better for him to say it out loud himself.

He nodded immediately: "The fourth-level fitter was downgraded to a third-level fitter, and the monthly salary was also reduced by seven or eight yuan."

"Bang Geng was not punished, but his job was changed."

"In addition to continuing to learn locksmithing from me, you have to work as a porter in the workshop for one month every two months."

"Today is Banggeng's first day as a porter. The task is too heavy and he didn't finish it before the end of the day. So I helped him move the processed parts and have been busy until now."

"I'm almost half dead from exhaustion."

"Damn you steel mill boss! My grandson is going to be a leader in the future, why should he be a porter..."

"Yi Zhonghai, what do you do as a stepfather? Didn't you go to the leader?"

"no……"

"I must go to the head of the steel mill tomorrow."

"My grandson is going to be a leader in the future, or at least a senior fitter. How can I let him be a porter? This is too blind."

Seeing Bang Geng sitting next to him, hesitant to speak, Qin Huai interrupted: "Mom..."

"shut up."

"Wait until Lao Yi and Bang Geng finish talking."

"Bang Geng, you may be an apprentice, but you have Lao Yi as your master."

"I remember in a workshop, as long as there was a master teaching locksmithing techniques, there was no need to be a porter."

"Why would the leaders of the steel mill let you be a porter?"

Facing Qin Huairu's questioning, Bang Geng had no choice but to speak: "Mom..."

"The rules of the first workshop have changed."

"The workshop director said that we are all apprentices and we all get 18 yuan a month. Why do some people enjoy the comforts in the workshop while others work as porters and do the most tiring work in the workshop? This is unfair."

"We just made a temporary rule."

"As long as they are apprentices in a workshop, regardless of whether they have a master or not, they are all divided into three groups, and each group takes turns to work as a porter in the workshop for one month."

"I want my stepfather to ask the workshop director to give me a backdoor so I don't have to work as a porter."

"As a result, the workshop director showed no mercy and took advantage of the situation to punish my stepfather, demoting his work grade from level 4 to level 3."

“I also had to work as a porter in the workshop, otherwise I would face the penalty of having my salary deducted.”

"You can be lazy." Jia Zhang suddenly interrupted.

"We can't disobey our leaders, but we can slack off at work, so we won't be so tired."

"You are too honest."

"You're so tired after just one day as a porter. If you work for a month, you'll be exhausted and sick." Banggeng smiled bitterly and replied, "Grandma..."

"Do you think working in a steel mill is just playing house? You can do whatever you want?"

"How can I be lazy when so many leaders are watching me?"

"And the amount of raw materials and processed parts that porters have to carry every day is fixed."

“You can leave work only after completing the task.”

"If I really slacked off at work, I wouldn't be able to leave work now."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang didn't know how to respond.

She is just an old woman with no vision. She usually relies on her shamelessness and acts like a rogue in the courtyard, and it still works a bit. But when she really arrives at the steel rolling mill with a security department, her tricks are useless and may even get her into jail.

After all, the security department at that time was not the security guards of later generations. They not only had to bear the responsibility of protecting the steel rolling mill, but also had to perform various anti-espionage tasks and had high law enforcement powers.

If Jia Zhang really fell into their hands, they would be able to subdue her in one go.

At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly said: "Great..."

"Since the work of moving things is so tiring and the task cannot be completed within the stipulated time, why don't you, the workshop leaders, arrange a few more apprentices to work as movers?"

"This way you can get off work on time and not be so tired."

Facing Qin Huairu's question, an embarrassed expression immediately flashed across Banggeng's face.

Even Yi Zhonghai had a meaningful expression on his face, which made Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu look puzzled.

Seeing that Bang Geng didn't respond, Qin Huairu could only turn his gaze to Yi Zhonghai and asked in confusion: "Old Yi..."

"Maybe I just said something wrong."

"Bang Geng is so exhausted that he can't even finish the handling work assigned by the workshop leader during working hours. Why can't we assign a few more apprentices to be the porters?"

Yi Zhonghai could only smile bitterly and answer: "Huai Ru..."

“Not everyone is unable to complete the leader’s moving work.”

"All day today, only the stick terrier has not completed the transport work."

"The apprentices who are faster will finish the moving work half an hour before the end of the shift and wait in the workshop to rest."

After hearing this explanation, Qin Huairu's face immediately flashed with embarrassment.

Originally, he thought that the workload assigned by the workshop director was too much and Banggeng and his team could not complete it.

The fact is that the work tasks assigned by the workshop leader were not many, but Banggeng was unable to complete them because he was lazy. All the responsibility for Banggeng's late get off work lies with himself and has nothing to do with the factory leaders.

It was so embarrassing that Qin Huairu, who had just been complaining about the workshop leader, felt so bad.

Bang Geng was spoiled by Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, and he didn't think it was his fault. Instead, he said with an indignant expression: "Grandma, Mom..."

"You don't know..."

"These apprentices who work as porters either work in groups of two or three to move the raw materials and parts produced in the workshop. No one is willing to help me."

"Those parts and raw materials were packed in boxes, weighing dozens of kilograms. Without help, I couldn't move them by myself, so I didn't finish the moving work during working hours."

Qin Huairu frowned again and asked unhappily, "Didn't you report this to the workshop leader?"

"I reacted..." Banggeng answered helplessly.

"But the workshop leader said that forming teams is voluntary. If others don't want to form a team with me, he can't force them. He can only let me move the raw materials and parts by myself." (End of this chapter)
