Chapter 19 Restart
Starting from the [-]th of this month, the boiler room will officially start construction.

The twelve handymen were divided into three shifts, and four people, Laishun, Jiao Da, Zhang Bing, and Zhao Yi, were assigned to one place.

Although the two were originally reluctant, they were still ready to take over Laishun and Jiao Da's errands because of the benefits Laiwang gave in private.

However, Laishun refused to do so. Instead, he insisted on taking charge of one boiler alone, leaving the other to Zhang Bing and Zhao Yi.

However, Zhang Bing and Zhao Yi did not really let Laishun do half of the work, and rushed to take over the trivial things.

As a result, Laishun was only a little harder than other handymen, but on the whole he was still able to handle it with ease.

This is because of the changing world over time.

Working as a handyman in the boiler room in the early years was indeed hard and tiring. Only the servants who were excluded or made mistakes would be assigned here.

However, as time went by, more and more people were thrown into "suffering". The number of handymen in the boiler room gradually increased from the initial six to ten, and this year it even increased to 12.

The work is still the same, but the manpower has doubled, and the work intensity is naturally far less than before.

Therefore, Laishun will feel at ease.

It's just that in his spare time, listening to the rumble of the four steam piston pumps, he can't help but have the illusion that he doesn't seem to have traveled to the Dream of the Red Chamber, but has become a state-owned enterprise worker in the 80s.

…………

The busy and boring time always passed quickly, and before I knew it, it had already arrived in late November.

That night, I caught up with the coal delivery. As usual, all the handymen went into battle, but Laishun and Jiao Da were left on duty in the boiler room.

No way, who makes this boiler inseparable from people?

What's more, Laishun was supposed to be in tomorrow night's shift, and if he was willing to come to take care of the boiler in advance, it was enough to be 'close to the people'.

Besides, in this old cannibalistic society, is it possible that the word 'fairness' really exists?
The handymen didn't believe it anyway, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with assigning errands like this.

As midnight approached, seeing that it was almost finished outside, I came to drop the coal shovel, wiped the sweat and turned back to the road: "Old man, next time you get up to work overtime at night, you don't need to come..."

"how?!"

Jiao Da scratched his neck and said angrily, "Do you think Grandpa Jiao is dragging you down?"

"How come you old man can't hear bad words." Laishun also stared: "No one is picking on you right now, right? Why are you joining in the fun?"

"I am happy!"

As Jiao Da said, he tapped the water pump with his fingers, and said proudly, "Besides, if Grandpa Jiao was not here, you all ate and hung up a few days ago."

This is true.

A few days ago, there was a sudden problem with a water pump. Laishun, a 'modern man', stared at him helplessly. He didn't want to get up and fix it easily.

According to Jiao Da, he led people to build the boiler room back then. As early as when Laishun's grandfather was still peeing and mud, his old man had dismantled several pumps.

At this time, seeing that Laishun was scolded, the old man became more and more complacent: "Who would have praised Lao Tzu at the time, saying that I have at least the level of a fourth-level worker!"

Fourth grade worker?
This name is really...

Laishun pretended to be curious and asked, "What does this fourth-level worker mean, and who is complimenting you? Look at your proud face, isn't that old Ning Guogong?"

However, Jiao Da was suddenly silent, lowered his head and fiddled with the buckle on the water pump, before shaking his head for a long while and said, "Dute mother has already passed the calendar, why did you mention him?"

This old man!

Usually, he likes to brag about how he was when he was young, but if he really wants to ask him about his past glory and deeds, the old man will push three and four.

However, I saw that he was not in high spirits, so I stopped arguing with him. I took off my jacket from the wall and said, "I'll go first, and you can rest early after you finish eating. We have to be on duty tomorrow night. Woolen cloth."

Telling Pan You'an that he doesn't have to prepare his own late-night snack, Laishun wrapped his padded jacket tightly and walked out of the courtyard door of the boiler room alone.

Walking through the private alley, I heard a beating sound in the Rongguo Mansion next door, and Laishun subconsciously looked across the wall, thinking of that Yang family for no reason.

The woman said that she had to think about it for a long time, and then give herself an answer, but there was no more news after that.

Could it be...

Is it the benefit she promised, but it's not enough to make her tempted?
But even so, she should ask first, what is she going to ask her to do?If you don't ask anything, how do you know if the deal is worth it?

After thinking about it, Laishun couldn't figure out what Yang was thinking, so he had to leave the matter behind for the time being, quickly walked out of the private alley, and headed home in the dark.

Speechless all the way.

When he arrived in his own courtyard, he saw that the living room of the main room was still lit, and Laishun thought it was his mother who was waiting for him to go home again.

But when he entered the door, he was stunned.

The person waiting for him in Gayin's room was not his mother Xu's family, but the cheap old man - but when he went out after dinner, the cheap old man also went to the house.

"father."

Laishun couldn't help but wonder: "Aren't you going to be on duty in the mansion today?"

"It's temporarily pushed to someone else, you come with me."

Laiwang waved at him, got up and went to the Westinghouse.

Laishun naturally followed, and when he entered his bedroom, he saw several sacks lying on the ground, one of which had been cut open to reveal the rubber hose coiled inside.

"Father, have the materials been found?!"

Laishun's eyes lit up, he hurriedly squatted down and pulled out a piece, twisting and bending to measure the toughness.

"It was delivered to our house after nightfall."

Laiwang said: "I spent a long time scanning the capital and couldn't find a suitable one. Only later did I find out that the Xue family has several rubber plantations in the south."

"Is this made by the Xue family?"

"That's not it, it's from an old customer of his family."

After a pause, Laiwang added: "But if this can really happen, the Xue family has to come forward and take down the workshop."

Speaking of this, he asked nervously, "How about these pipes?"

"it should be OK."

Laishun nodded: "There is actually silk added to it, which is much better than those cheap ones."

Laiwang waved his hand: "Since it can be used, then make this pneumatic tire as soon as possible!"

In the past month or so, he can be regarded as a resolute, looking for the material for making the inner tube, while preparing the rest of the accessories first.

The tire is the easiest, just hollow out the solid tire.

Wheels are not difficult to make. The popular ones are still wooden wheels. Although they are not as strong as iron ones, they are very convenient to transform.

The gas mouthpiece has already been done by someone, but the valve core is not very easy to handle.

Later, I did not know where to find a cobbler, and made several substitutes with animal fascia. Although the cost was high, the effect was not bad at all.

Now that everything is ready, I just need to wait for Lai Shun to save them!
In fact, Laishun originally wanted to invent pneumatic tires in order to make some money and then try to 'redemption' from the Rongguo Mansion.

Now that there is no hope, it is inevitable that there is a lack of motivation.

Seeing that I was looking forward to it, I could only cheer up and say, "Then I will be early tomorrow morning..."

"and many more!"

Laiwang suddenly remembered something, frowned and said, "If someone looks at this in broad daylight, wouldn't it ruin our affairs?"

"Then night..."

"Neither!"

Laiwang denied it again: "In the middle of the night, a fire suddenly broke out in our courtyard. Isn't it suspicious?"

This is the care of chaos.

When I came to Shuntian to bake water pipes at home, I never saw him nervous.

Besides, the reason why such a big battle was made at the beginning was entirely because the flexibility of the purchased water pipe was too poor, and it must be heated as a whole before it can be re-plasticized.

But now this batch of high-end goods has already formed a circle in itself.

What Laishun needs to do is to measure the circumference, then heat the two ends together to form a closed ring, and then install the valve.

Of course, even if it sounds like such a simple step, I am afraid that it will take many exercises to be successful.

But he just explained the difference and explained the difference to the cheap old man, and then the cheap old man was relieved.

Immediately, he made a decision: "Since this is the case, there is no need to start a fire in the courtyard. You can do it directly in the kitchen!"

After a pause, Laiwang added: "Tomorrow, I will give Granny Hu and Shuanzhu a holiday, and let them come back when things are settled."
