Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Steel rolling mill, fitter's workshop number one.

While processing the workpiece, Sister Hua patiently explained the fitter's techniques to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu watched Sister Hua's work with unblinking eyes and listened attentively.

What frustrated Qin Huairu was that listening to the techniques of fitter work was like listening to gibberish. She had been working for a while, but she still knew nothing about fitter work and couldn't even do some of the simplest workpieces well.

Hua Jie was somewhat helpless. Qin Huairu was her most difficult apprentice to train. She had explained until her voice was hoarse, and Qin Huairu kept saying that she understood and comprehended it, but when it came to Qin Huairu doing it herself, she became completely clueless, which left Hua Jie speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that Qin Huairu's attitude was relatively good, and that Qin Huairu would respond with a smile when she said a few words to her, and that she always seemed to be humbly seeking advice, she would genuinely not want to teach Qin Huairu the fitter's skills.

Just as Qin Huairu was engrossed in learning fitter work, workshop director Guo Daliang walked over.

"Qin Huairu, come with me for a moment."

"They're here."

Qin Huairu took off her gloves and followed Director Guo to the director's office.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the office, Guo Daliang closed the door, leaving her somewhat bewildered. She didn't know why Guo Daliang wanted to see her. Was it because she hadn't been learning fitter skills well lately, and Guo Daliang wanted to reprimand her?

"Director Guo, is there something you need?" Qin Huairu asked, puzzled.

"Sit down, sit down and we'll talk."

Guo Daliang laughed and pointed to the chair in front of his desk.

During this time, Guo Daliang observed Qin Huairu every day. Qin Huairu was like a ripe peach, and every time he saw her, he felt an irresistible itch in his heart.

"Director Guo, I won't sit down. Please tell me what's on your mind," Qin Huairu said hesitantly.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Guo Daliang's eyes lit up when he saw Qin Huairu's grain bag. He grabbed Qin Huairu's shoulder and pressed her down into a chair before smiling and speaking:

"Qin Huairu, you've been learning fitter work for a while now. How's it going?"

Guo Daliang pressed Qin Huairu down into the chair without letting go, and spoke while holding her shoulders. As he spoke, a breath of hot air hit the back of Qin Huairu's neck, which instantly gave her goosebumps.

She shook her shoulder, which made Guo Daliang let go, her tone filled with anger.

"Director Guo, please show some respect."

"Cough cough."

Guo Daliang coughed lightly and laughed, "Comrade Qin Huairu, I'm sorry, that's just how I am. I'm especially enthusiastic towards new workers. It's just a habit. Don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu nodded, acknowledging Guo Da Piezi's statement.

"Director Guo, thank you for finding such a good fitter like Sister Hua for me. I'm learning very well from her now. Thank you for your concern."

Guo Daliang waved his hand and laughed, "It's my duty, it's my duty. As the workshop director, it's my responsibility to ensure that every worker in the workshop can learn skills from their mentor, improve their skill level, and make greater contributions to the factory."

At this point, Guo Daliang changed the subject: "Comrade Qin Huairu, when you first joined the factory, you were paid the first-tier regular worker's salary. There's something I need to remind you. In our fitter workshop, we give new workers a three-month probationary period. If you can't process the simplest workpiece on your own within three months, your salary will be reduced to the second tier, which is 22.5 yuan."

"If you still can't process the simplest workpieces on your own after three months, your salary will be reduced to the lowest level of 18 yuan. If you continue to be unable to process workpieces on your own, your job grade will remain at the lowest level. Do you understand?"

Guo Daliang has been going to see Qin Huairu learn fitter skills every day recently. He knows that Qin Huairu is still completely clueless about fitter skills, but it is indeed the factory's rule. If Qin Huairu is obedient, he can think of a way to prevent her salary from being downgraded, otherwise...

Hearing Guo Da Piezi's words, Qin Huairu nodded. Hua Jie had already told her about this rule, otherwise she wouldn't have worked so hard to learn fitter skills every day.

"Director Guo, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to learn fitter skills."

She had worked so hard to get the highest salary for a regular employee as soon as she joined the factory. If she had ended up like Yan Jiecheng, earning only 18 yuan a month, her family would have starved to death.

Guo Daliang nodded, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Huairu's grain bag, and said with a smile, "Okay, then you can go back first. If you have any difficulties at work, just come and find me."

Qin Huairu felt a little uncomfortable under Guo Da Piezi's gaze. Of course, she knew what Guo Da Piezi meant, but she pretended not to.

This Guo Da Piezi doesn't want to give anything in return, he just wants to take advantage of her. How can there be such a good thing?

"Thank you, Director Guo. I'll head back now."

Qin Huairu opened the office door and fled the office as if she were escaping.

Looking at Qin Huairu's back and her round, peach-shaped buttocks, Guo Daliang swallowed hard.

This can't be rushed. Since Qin Huairu is in his workshop, he'll eventually get her to throw herself into his arms.

......

I get off work at noon.

Wang Mazi found Qin Huairu and said with a fawning smile, "Comrade Qin Huairu, let's go have dinner together."

Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Brother Ma, I'll pay for lunch myself today. You have an elderly mother and a younger sister at home, it's not easy for you, how can I keep spending your money?"

Wang Mazi patted his chest heartily and laughed, "It's nothing. I'm a level three worker, and my monthly salary is 42.5 yuan. Your family is in difficulty, so it's only right that I help you."

Qin Huairu used a feigned retreat as a tactic, quickly refusing: "No, even if my family is struggling financially, we can't keep spending your money. You have a whole family to support. Let's go quickly, or the line will get too long."

"become."

The two walked and chatted, laughing and talking. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were a couple.

During this period, Sister Hua stopped having lunch with Qin Huairu every day after get off work.

I had previously seen that Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were cousins, and I thought I could benefit from Qin Huairu's influence and that Qin Jingru would give her more food. But it turns out that Qin Huairu herself doesn't even get that kind of treatment, let alone her.

Qin Huairu and Wang Mazi lined up at the food serving window. She didn't go to Qin Jingru's serving window, since Qin Jingru wouldn't give her extra food anyway, so it didn't matter where she served the food.

After waiting in line for five minutes, it was finally their turn.

"Jingru, why did you switch to the food serving window?" Qin Huairu asked.

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Do I need your permission to get food there?"

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly: "Jingru, I'd like three steamed buns, one serving of eggplant with minced meat, and one serving of cabbage."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu reached into her pocket, preparing to take out her money.

Just then, Wang Mazi, who was behind Qin Huairu, took the lead, took out some money and handed it to Qin Jingru, saying, "I paid for her share."

"No, no, I'll eat by myself, I can't afford to spend your money."

Qin Huairu quickly refused, but after rummaging around, she couldn't find any money or tickets. She then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Ma, I forgot to bring my money or tickets today. How about this, you lend me the money or tickets first, and I'll pay you back tomorrow."

Wang Mazi scratched the back of his head, smiled, and waved his hand, "No need, no need."
