The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

When the worker saw Yi Zhonghai coming, he didn't dare to talk to Qin Huairu anymore. Qin Huairu immediately started grinding the rod seriously.

"Huai Ru, put down your work for a moment, come here, I want to talk to you." Yi Zhonghai was Qin Huai Ru's master. He called Qin Huai Ru out of the workshop to talk to her, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

When I got outside the workshop, I asked, "Uncle, what do you want me to do for you?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's words, he first looked at her deeply, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a puff and said, "Huairu, I am your master and also your man's master, so, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

Qin Huairu was very confused when he heard Yi Zhonghai's serious words. He didn't know what the old man was going to say. "Master, no, you say it, I'm listening."

"Huai Ru, how long have you been in the factory?"

"Master, it's been a month."

"Well, Huairu, what have you learned this month?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's question, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai in confusion, and then replied, "Master, locksmithing is a bit difficult. I can only sharpen rods now."

Yi Zhonghai put out his cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "Huai Ru, you are the top shift worker, so you don't have an apprenticeship period. You are directly a first-level worker with a basic salary of 25 yuan a month, plus a subsidy of 25 yuan. Is this salary enough for your family?"

Qin Huairu listened to Yi Zhonghai's words and thought that he wanted to help her, so her eyes were like a tap, and tears immediately flowed out, "Master, hey, it's not enough. Every month, apart from the basic expenses of the family, there is nothing left. Wuwuwu~"

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu crying, he felt annoyed and thought, why are you crying? I haven't said anything to you yet!

"Huai Ru, now the three children are still young, and your salary is not enough. In two years, the three children will grow up, especially the stalks. They will eat a lot in two years, and the little ones will eat me to death. By then, I'm afraid your salary will be even less than enough. Have you thought about what to do?"

Qin Huairu didn't know what Yi Zhonghai was going to say, so she didn't answer and just cried.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Yi Zhonghai continued, "Have you ever thought about remarrying?"

Qin Huairu was shocked at first, then said, "Master, I have three children and a mother-in-law. How can I remarry? If I abandon both the children and my mother-in-law, that's possible, but I can't bear to leave my three children, wuwuwu." Qin Huairu was really a little sad at this moment.

"Then what do you think?"

"Master, I'm a woman, what can I do?"

"Huai Ru, if you can get promoted to level two, your monthly salary will be 34 yuan. If you can get promoted to level one again in two years, your monthly salary will be 43 yuan. Even if you can't get promoted later, this salary will be enough for your family."

Chapter 71 Qin Huairu's Dilemma

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Qin Huairu's heart moved. She thought, yes, if her salary increased, then all the current difficulties would be solved. Even if her children grew up and the cost of food and drink increased, she could completely cope with it with her salary.

But just as hope appeared in his eyes, Qin Huairu thought of the knowledge of locksmithing and felt a headache.

At this time, Qin Huairu also understood Yi Zhonghai's purpose, which was to persuade him to focus on learning technology.

"Master, I also want to study hard, but I get sleepy when I hear about locksmithing."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his stomach hurt. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down and said, "Huai Ru, there are many uneducated workers in the factory. Even many female workers are in the same situation as you, but they have all reached at least the second level. In fact, before the fifth level of fitter, it is a matter of proficiency. You just need to remember the tools and processes, slowly master them, and become proficient. There will be no problem with the exam."

Qin Huairu still said, "But, Master, what should I do if I can't remember it?"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry! Does this mean that he should find a way to get her promoted to a second-level worker? And then you continue to sharpen the iron rod every day?!

Yi Zhonghai was angry, and now that he had his own child, he asked, "So if you play and joke with the male workers, will your salary increase?"

Qin Huairu was also startled by Yi Zhonghai's sudden outburst. She immediately looked around and thought, fortunately, no one is nearby.

Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's reaction, and he knew that he had lost his temper just now, so he said, "Huairu, the workshop director and deputy director have come to me many times. You are getting the salary of a first-class worker, so you must do the work of a first-class worker. If you can't meet the requirements within a month, they will write an application to the factory to transfer you to the cleaning team. It's up to you! As your master, I have covered for you many times, but you just grind those iron bars all day long and don't learn anything else. Then you fight with those male workers. Huairu, don't forget, Dongxu just left not long ago! I will spend the next period of time teaching you the knowledge of a first-class worker. If you can't learn it, I can't protect you anymore."

Yi Zhonghai left after he finished speaking, leaving Qin Huairu standing there in a daze.

Qin Huairu was devastated and helpless. In the past month since she entered the factory, she had lived a good life. Although the salary was not high, she just sharpened iron bars every day and then went home. For some work that required strength, she only needed to act coquettishly to the male workers and hold their hands, and those male workers would help her do it. But now Yi Zhonghai was going to give up on her. What should she do? If she was transferred to the cleaning team, she would only have a basic salary of 18 yuan a month, and she might also be sent to clean the toilet.

If I go to clean the toilet, will anyone follow me? If I am transferred to the cleaning team, how will I get a good job in the future? Do I have to clean the toilet in the factory?

These thoughts played over and over in her mind, but from beginning to end, she never thought about how to improve her skills.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop and found the male workers who often surrounded Qin Huairu. He said, "I know that you guys often surround Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu is a widow. Aren't you afraid that the Women's Federation will find you? I tell you, I will teach Qin Huairu the skills next. If her skills cannot be improved, I will explain to the factory that it is because you guys often harass Qin Huairu that her skills cannot be improved. At that time, I will apply to the factory to send you to the sand shoveling workshop! I think, as an eighth-level worker, I still have some face and ability!" After saying that, without waiting for the few people to quibble or reply, Yi Zhonghai returned to his workstation.

Qin Huairu stood outside for a while and came back to the workshop. She happened to meet Yi Zhonghai talking to the workshop director Cao Ming. "Director, I have just told Qin Huairu that I will try my best to improve her skills in the next period of time. But she is just a rural woman and has no basic skills. Please give her a little more time for the sake of Jia Dongxu and me who died."

Cao Ming said, "Master Yi, I know it's not easy for you. Comrade Qin Huairu also has difficulties, but you also know that if she can't take over the locksmith job for a long time, I will also be in a difficult situation. However, what you said is indeed the truth. So, now it's the end of the month, I will give her two months, on September 1st, I will come to check her situation. If it still doesn't work out, Master Yi, don't blame me for rejecting your face, it means that either she is not suitable for locksmithing, or she is not enterprising and can't be a locksmith. Do you think this is okay? At that time, transfer her to the cleaning team, and you don't have to ask me for mercy anymore."

Yi Zhonghai could only nod, and Cao Ming returned to the office. Cao Ming himself was at level seven, and now he was only 40 years old. He had leadership skills, was serious and responsible.

Yi Zhonghai turned around and saw Qin Huairu, then walked over and said, "Huairu, you heard what Director Cao and I said, right? It's not that I, as your master, won't help you. Just like what Director Cao said, if you don't study hard, you can only go to the cleaning team."

"I understand, Master."

Qin Huairu originally thought that Yi Zhonghai had adopted a child and no longer relied on her family, so he wanted to give up on her. She was very resentful of Yi Zhonghai in her heart, but after hearing the conversation just now, she realized that this was true. She had to make a choice, whether to learn technology, or to join the cleaning team, or...

At this moment, Qin Huairu realized that money was really hard to earn. She thought of what her father once said: Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

Qin Huairu returned to her workstation where she was grinding iron rods. Although she had something on her mind, she still wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and chat with the male coworker she had just met. However, she found that she had called him several times, but he pretended not to hear her and went to greet the other workers, but they all avoided her. She observed that they all looked towards Yi Zhonghai. She guessed that Yi Zhonghai had said something to them, so they were avoiding her.

There was no other way, Qin Huairu could only grind the iron rod in loneliness, and the whole morning passed like this.

After lunch, Qin Huairu continued to sharpen the iron rod, and Yi Zhonghai came over and said, "Huairu, from today on, don't sharpen this iron rod anymore. I will teach you benchwork knowledge again. The rest of the way is up to you."

Qin Huairu reluctantly put down the iron rod, thinking, how nice it would be to sharpen the iron rod~

Yi Zhonghai first introduced the basic tools to her, and then introduced the machine tool and its basic structure and what each button did. At first, Qin Huairu wanted to argue with him, but she yawned while listening. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he couldn't hold it back any longer and yelled, "Qin Huairu, do you still want to do this? If not, just get out! I'm an eighth-level worker, teaching you step by step, and you're dozing off!? Do you think I have nothing to do!" After that, Yi Zhonghai returned to his workstation and drank water from an enamel pot to calm down the fire!

Although the workshop was noisy, Yi Zhonghai's voice still attracted everyone's attention. At this time, Qin Huairu stood there with a blushing face, and then ran out of the workshop with tears in her eyes and covering her face.

Cao Ming came out to check the situation. He asked two female workers to check on Qin Huairu first, then said to everyone, "What are you looking at? Have you finished your work?" Everyone lowered their heads to do their own work. Then he went to Yi Zhonghai, "Master Yi, what's going on? Why are you so angry?"

Yi Zhonghai put down the enamel pot heavily and said, "Director Cao, this Qin Huairu is really...really too outrageous! Oh!"

Yi Zhonghai was really anxious this time. He felt that Qin Huairu was so smart that she had a great chance of learning to be a third-level fitter. If she did not make progress, she could reach the second-level fitter within three years. Now that he had his own child, he wanted to live a good life, so he wanted to train Qin Huairu well and let her support the whole family by herself. But he did not expect that after saying so much to her in the morning, she was still like this in the afternoon!

Cao Ming was also speechless. He could see that Qin Huairu was very smart, but he just didn't want to learn. But his master was here, and he was an eighth-level worker. He could only say, "Master Yi, just do your best," and then shook his head and left.

Qin Huairu ran out of the workshop, half because her self-esteem was hurt. She was 28 years old and it was the first time she was reprimanded so severely, and in front of so many people. The other half was fake. She wanted to show the image of a weak woman to arouse sympathy.

While she was wiping her tears, two female workers followed her out.

"Xiao Qin, what's going on? Why did Master Yi suddenly get so angry?" The person who spoke was Sister Zheng, who was in her forties and a fourth-level worker.

woohoo~

Qin Huairu just cried, while Xiaolin on the side curled her lips. Her workstation was not far from Qin Huairu. She was 29 years old this year and was taking over her father-in-law's shift. Xiaolin had been in the factory for two years and was already a second-level worker. She had long been fed up with Qin Huairu who only knew how to grind iron bars all day and didn't learn anything. Although she didn't see everything that happened just now, she could roughly guess it.

"What else can I do? Master Yi, an eighth-level worker, has been working tirelessly to teach her, but she just yawns and doesn't listen at all."

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Qin Huairu felt resentful in her heart, but she still cried.

woohoo~

Sister Zheng had also heard some rumors about the pretty widow in the workshop. After hearing what Xiao Lin said, she had an even worse impression of Qin Huairu. So she said indifferently, "How can a fitter become a fitter without learning fitter skills? If you really can't learn it, just transfer to the cleaning team. They shouldn't be picky about people." Then she said to Xiao Lin, "Xiao Lin, I think Xiao Qin is fine. Let's go back to work." Then the two of them returned to the workshop.

Qin Huairu, who was still wiping her tears, hated the two people so much. Didn't they see that she was sad at the moment? Why didn't they comfort her more?

But at this moment, Qin Huairu felt even more deeply how difficult life was, and she was even more worried about her situation.

Chapter 72 Li Huaide Sets Sights on Qin Huairu

After "crying" outside for more than ten minutes, Qin Huairu returned to the workshop and then came to Yi Zhonghai, "Master, I'm sorry, please teach me again."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu with red eyes and said, "Huairu, it's not that I don't teach you, but you don't want to learn. You are actually very smart. Even if you are not suitable for learning locksmithing, it is no problem for you to learn to the second or third level, but..."

Yi Zhonghai was about to speak but stopped talking. Qin Huairu cried and grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm and said, "Master, uncle, please give me another chance."

Yi Zhonghai pushed her hand away from his arm, and then said, "I have just talked to you for so long, you should get familiar with it first. Director Cao has agreed to give you two months. During this period, I will spend one hour every day teaching you. How much you can learn depends on yourself." After that, Yi Zhonghai continued to work. As the only eighth-level worker in a workshop, Yi Zhonghai's processing tasks are often very heavy. Ordinary seventh-level workpieces do not require him to do it, but for seventh-level workpieces with higher requirements on precision and yield rate, he will be asked to do it. If it is a eighth-level workpiece, then he can only do it.

Now there is a batch of level 7 workpieces that need his help in the workshop. Fortunately, the number is not large, so he has the time and energy to teach Qin Huairu. However, this Qin Huairu makes Yi Zhonghai speechless.

He didn't think it was a big problem to see Qin Huairu slacking off. After all, if Qin Huairu made rapid progress, her job level would be raised, and her salary would be high, which would make it difficult to control her. But now he was eager to get rid of her and the Jia family, but he realized that Qin Huairu was like mud.

While making the workpiece, Yi Zhonghai sighed

On the other side, Qin Huairu returned to her workstation and tried hard to recall what Yi Zhonghai had just taught her. But she had been distracted and dozing off. At this moment, she really couldn't remember anything at all. Thinking that she might be transferred to the cleaning team, Qin Huairu stood in front of her workstation and cried anxiously, crying silently.

As luck would have it, Li Huaide came to a workshop to look for Guo Dapiezi and happened to see this scene. Qin Huairu had tears in her eyes, but she was trying hard not to cry out loud, which made people feel the pain in her heart. Looking at Qin Huairu's expression, Li Huaide felt a strong desire to protect her. If it wasn't here, but in his office, he would probably take her into his arms directly. Although he is lustful and doesn't like to use force, it doesn't mean he won't use force!

At this time, Guo Dapiezi's voice sounded behind him, "Director Li, you're looking for me?"

Guo Dapiezi is Li Huaide's lackey. Although Li Huaide is in charge of logistics, his ambition is not just logistics, he wants to control the entire factory!

Guo Dapiezi's voice brought Li Huaide back to reality. In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Huaide coughed and asked, "How is the thing I asked you to do last time? I saw that you didn't report to me recently, so I came to ask."

Li Huaide asked Guo Dapiezi to find out some things, but things were not easy to do. Guo Dapiezi said, "Director Li, it's not easy. I have tried several ways, but none of them worked."

Li Huaide also understood, and nodded and said, "If it really doesn't work, forget it."

After a few more words, Li Huaide said he was leaving, but he asked casually, "Who is that female comrade? Why haven't I seen her before?"

Guo Dapiezi followed Li Huaide's gaze and realized that he was talking about Qin Huairu, so he said, "Director, that was the wife of Jia Dongxu who died of a work-related injury some time ago. She has only been here for a month."

"Oh? I was wondering why I had never seen her before. What happened to her? Why did she seem to be crying?"

As a lackey, Guo Dapiezi naturally understood his master's temperament. "She couldn't learn locksmithing, so she was scolded by her master. And because she could only sharpen iron bars in the past month, Director Cao said that if she still couldn't learn, she would be transferred to the cleaning team. I guess she was crying because she was afraid of this." Guo Dapiezi whispered the three words "sharpening iron bars" with emphasis.

These three words almost made Li Huaide shiver on the spot. He coughed and said, "We should be more tolerant and helpful to the families of workers who died in work-related injuries. So, you observe her for two more days. If she still can't learn it, tell her to come to me and I will find a way to solve it for her." Then he patted Guo Dapiezi on the shoulder and left.

Guo Da Piezi naturally knew what his master meant. Guo Da Piezi was also a lustful man, but his position was not high, and he was not very courageous. Therefore, he was still in the stage of lust for the prey he had set his eyes on.

He also had ideas about this pretty widow, but he didn't dare to do anything because Yi Zhonghai was blocking him. Although he was the deputy director of the workshop, he was still very afraid of an eighth-level worker.

But today Yi Zhonghai seemed to have given up on Qin Huairu and no longer protected her, so Guo Dapiezi started to think about it. However, just as he started to think about it, his master also took a fancy to this piece of meat. He could only sigh in his heart that it was a pity and a pity, fate played tricks on him~

In the next three days, Yi Zhonghai did as he said. Every morning from 10:30 to 11:30, he would teach Qin Huairu the knowledge of first-class workers. He was very responsible and taught him over and over again without getting tired of it. Unfortunately, although Qin Huairu wanted to learn, he just yawned uncontrollably.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to get angry at first, but he suppressed it, and slowly he stopped getting angry. The reason was simple. He felt that as long as he taught her the knowledge in the next period of time, if she couldn't learn it, she would be transferred to the cleaning team, and it wouldn't be his fault. After all, he was teaching her tirelessly in public every day.

At 11:30 am on Thursday, today's class was over. Yi Zhonghai said, "Huai Ru, I have taught you the basic operations for three consecutive days. You can try to operate the machine tool simply and I will see how it works."

Qin Huairu was immediately at a loss, she simply would not let Yi Zhonghai teach her every day and let her review and think carefully, she was just slacking off and waiting for the end of get off work. She thought that if she could just muddle along like this, she could get away with it over time, but she didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would come to check the homework today!

She was about to start the machine in a panic, which frightened Yi Zhonghai so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He slapped Qin Huairu's hand away from the button and yelled, "Qin Huairu, did you do this on purpose? If you don't want to live anymore, go die and don't drag me into this!" Yi Zhonghai, who always gave people the image of a good guy, cursed and got angry twice in just a few days. This was rare.

Qin Huairu's right hand was slapped by Yi Zhonghai and it hurt. When she heard Yi Zhonghai's scolding, she burst into tears.

But this time no one sympathized with her. After all, during these three days, Yi Zhonghai's teaching was obvious to all. Some old people had never seen Yi Zhonghai teach his apprentices so seriously in more than ten years.

But Qin Huairu didn't even know how to operate a machine tool. If Yi Zhonghai hadn't fanned Qin Huairu's hand away in time, it would have been a small matter for Qin Huairu to lose his hand. The entire lathe would have had to be scrapped. At that time, even the workshop director and Director Yang would have found it difficult to bear the loss.

You have to know that at that time, all the lathe equipment in China were imported with minor problems. The engineers of the steel rolling mill could repair them themselves, but if they were scrapped, they could only spend money to hire someone from abroad to repair them, and there was no guarantee that they could be repaired.

As everyone was whispering, most people knew what had happened. As for Qin Huairu, except for a few male workers who had feelings for her, everyone else was disgusted with this sneaky Qin Huairu! After all, in this era, everyone agrees that labor is glorious.
