Liu Weihong led Qiao Lanshu to the entrance of the pickle workshop, looked at her with disdain, and said, "Go and report to Supervisor Tang of the pickle workshop."

With that, Liu Weihong turned and left. If she hadn't been afraid that the job transfer would go wrong and the factory director would see it, she wouldn't have bothered to bring Qiao Lanshu over.

After Qiao Lanshu came in, she went to ask someone about Supervisor Tang. Just then, Tang Wenxia, ​​who had just seen Wei Hongmei off, was standing at the door.

When she saw Qiao Lanshu coming over, she knew that she was the unlucky girl whose job had been taken over by Wei Hongmei.

I felt a little sorry for her.

She walked over and said, "You must be Comrade Qiao Lanshu?"

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "Yes, that's me."

Looking at her petite figure, Tang Wenxia said, "Let's go to the cutting and washing workshop."

In the cutting and washing workshop, they are currently mainly processing pickled radishes and Chinese cabbage.

The large radishes pulled from the mud have already undergone the first cleaning process by the machine.

Water resources are scarce in the north, and clean water resources are very precious.

The machine will recycle the water and simply rinse all the radishes with soil attached.

Then, the rinsed radishes are sent over by conveyor belt, where workers wash them carefully again. After they are cleaned, they are cut into strips and then pickled.

It's true that Wei Hongmei said the things she was moving were too heavy and the water was cold.

However, there are not many opportunities for female workers to carry things, and when they do, they usually work in pairs. They simply pour the radishes into the sink and let the machine mix them. Most of the time, male workers are responsible for carrying the radishes, while female workers are responsible for washing them.

After arriving at the washing and cleaning team, Qiao Lanshu immediately took out his knitted gloves from the pocket of his cotton-padded coat.

She first put on knitted gloves, and then on a layer of waterproof gloves, so that it wouldn't hurt when washing the radishes.

Tang Wenxia was a little surprised to see her like this. She said, "You're quite smart; you even know to keep warm."

Qiao Lanshu said with a smile, "Because the waterproof gloves here are all too big, I'll wear a knitted glove underneath, and that will fit better."

Tang Wenxia nodded without saying anything, and found a female worker in her thirties to take care of Qiao Lanshu.

Then Tang Wenxia left.

The female worker responsible for taking care of Qiao Lanshu was named Wang Xue.

Wang Xue wasn't a talkative person, but with Wei Hongmei gone and Qiao Lanshu coming in, it was obvious that Wei Hongmei had taken over Qiao Lanshu's better job because she found the work too tiring.

Wang Xue looked at Qiao Lanshu and comforted her, saying, "Since you're here, then do your job well. Don't worry, our washing and cutting work is quite tiring, but it's only for the next two weeks. After that, we'll be much more relaxed."

Qiao Lanshu knew that Wang Xue was trying to comfort her, but in reality, she was quite happy and not sad at all.

She smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Wang."

Seeing that she was petite, Wang Xue asked her, "How old are you?"

Qiao Lanshu: "Sister Wang, I'm 18."

Wang Xue asked with some surprise, "Judging from your accent, you're not a local."

It was really strange. Wang Xue worked in a factory and had basically no contact with educated youth from other places. She had never heard such an accent before.

Qiao Lanshu said, "I come from Guangzhou, which is in the southernmost part of our motherland."

Wang Xue led her to a large pool where everyone was washing radishes. The washed radishes were scooped up, placed on a conveyor belt, and then transported to the vegetable cutting workshop.

Wang Xue said admiringly, "Your short legs are really good at running."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Wang Xue smiled and said, "The water is cold. I don't know if you can stand it. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some warm, waterproof gloves. Then it won't be so cold."

As she spoke, she showed Qiao Lanshu her gloves. The gloves had a waterproof outer layer and a thin cotton lining. It was a very thin layer, but it was already very effective at keeping warm.

Qiao Lanshu didn't mention that she was wearing knitted gloves, she just nodded: "Okay, thank you, Sister Wang."

Wang Xue waved her hand: "From now on, I'll be your mentor, so don't be so polite."

Qiao Lanshu smiled and said, "Okay, Master."

Wang Xue really liked this little girl. She helped her wash the radishes, and after they finished washing the radishes, they went to another workshop to cut radish strips.

Some of the radishes need to be diced and pickled to make spicy and sour radish cubes.

One portion needs to be cut into strips, which are very appetizing salty and spicy radish strips.

The radish needed to be cut into even strips, but it was difficult to cut with gloves on, so everyone took off their gloves.

Wang Xue taught Qiao Lanshu for a while, then let Qiao Lanshu cut it herself.

She thought it would take Qiao Lanshu a few days to get used to cutting the radish evenly, but to her surprise, she had already cut the radish into even strips as soon as she started, and at a glance, each strip looked about the same length.

Wang Xue was stunned. She exclaimed, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, this is incredible! You cut it so perfectly!"

Qiao Lanshu said modestly, "It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master."

Wang Xue: "..."

Wang Xue herself doesn't even cut them that well, so how can she be a teacher?

They worked all morning, and at noon, Wang Xue personally led Qiao Lanshu to the canteen for lunch. After lunch, they rushed to finish chopping the remaining radishes and sending them to be dried, and then they could go home.

Qin Yuanzheng was very worried about Qiao Lanshu, so he drove over early, before it was time to get off work, and waited at the entrance of the food factory.

I wonder if his wife was harassed on her first day of work.

She's from out of town and doesn't understand the local dialect, so I don't know if there will be any problems communicating with her.

Most importantly, is she capable of doing the work in the factory?

Qin Yuanzheng was like a worried old father. He sat in the car, looking out the window from time to time, wondering why his little wife hadn't come out yet.

At this moment, Liu Weihong, who was leaving get off work on time, came out hand in hand with her colleagues from the factory.

Both of them saw Qin Yuanzheng's car. It was a military vehicle, so it was very conspicuous. In particular, Liu Weihong had been on a blind date with Qin Yuanzheng, so she was very familiar with his car.

A colleague next to me said, "Oh my, it's a military vehicle. This must be an officer of battalion level or above, right? When did we start having officers' spouses in our factory?"

Liu Weihong: "..."

Liu Weihong snorted coldly and said, "That's Commander Qin's car from the 21st Regiment, didn't you know? He's impotent, and he can't have children. Being his wife means you'll have a tough time ahead."
