Chapter 13 Deputy Director Zhu
Lin Zhenhua's low-key performance gave Zhong Rulin a good impression. As a porter, Zhong Rulin had little eyes. His standard for evaluating a person was whether he respected him or not.Porters belong to the relatively low-status jobs in the whole factory, so Zhong Rulin is very sensitive to the attitude of others.Lin Zhenhua himself became a porter, and he was not upset at all, and he was respectful to Zhong Rulin, which was enough to make Zhong Rulin think that this young man had outstanding character.

Zhong Rulin took Lin Zhenhua back to the metalworking workshop, and while distributing the materials he received to each machine tool, he introduced Lin Zhenhua to the master workers in the workshop.Hanhua Machinery Factory is a medium-sized enterprise with more than 500 people. As a child of the factory, Lin Zhenhua knows very limited people. He has heard of some masters’ names before, but it was only through Zhong Rulin’s introduction today that he was able to connect people with them. Match the name.

The masters are more familiar with Lin Zhenhua. Both of Lin Zhenhua's parents died in an accident, which was a major event that shocked the whole factory. Everyone usually meets to discuss the situation of Lin Zhenhua's brother and sister, so they are no strangers to him.Of course, everyone is familiar with Lin Zhenhua. There is another reason, which is more embarrassing. That is, Lin Zhenhua was famous for being mischievous in the factory. notoriety.

"Xiaohua, this is Zhou Houcheng, Master Zhou, an eighth-level lathe worker." Zhong Rulin pointed to a nearly 60-year-old worker and introduced Lin Zhenhua.

"Master Zhou." Lin Zhenhua bowed to Zhou Houcheng in a polite manner.

Zhou Houcheng nodded: "Hey, are you a child of Lao Lin's family? You just came back from serving in the army?"

"Yes, I just got out of the military."

"Well, after two years as a soldier, I have made progress." Zhou Houcheng said.

Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to smile wryly. In the past two days, the sentence he heard the most was "making progress".

Lin Zhenhua followed Zhong Rulin and bowed all the way, feeling a little dizzy. In a trance, he felt a sad look passing over him, and when he raised his head suddenly, he saw Yang Xin standing beside a universal milling machine, peeking at him. with him.Beside Yang Xin, a middle-aged female worker was burying her head in operating the milling machine, and Yang Xin was obviously helping her.

"This is Jiang Tiemei, Master Jiang." Zhong Rulin introduced the middle-aged female worker to Lin Zhenhua.

"Master Jiang." Lin Zhenhua still greeted him politely.

Jiang Tiemei looked up at Lin Zhenhua expressionlessly, then turned her head and said to Yang Xin: "Yang Xin, didn't you ask you to give me the caliper?"

Yang Xin was peeking at Lin Zhenhua at first, and when he heard Jiang Tiemei's question, and his tone was rather displeased, he quickly looked away, and hurriedly went to the toolbox to find a caliper.Jiang Tiemei reached out to pick up a caliper from the shelf next to it, and said dissatisfiedly, "Where did you find it? You didn't see the caliper on the shelf?"

Embarrassment suddenly appeared on Yang Xin's face, and he said dully, "Master, I didn't see it."

Jiang Tiemei ignored her and started measuring the workpiece on the milling machine with a caliper.During the whole process, she didn't give Lin Zhenhua a good face.

Lin Zhenhua scratched his scalp, then looked back at Zhong Rulin.Zhong Rulin also smiled awkwardly, and whispered: "Master Jiang is like this, he has a bad temper."

"Um... did I offend her?" Lin Zhenhua also asked in a low voice.

Zhong Rulin shook his head: "I don't know about that, you went... well, even if there was, it was at least two years ago."

Lin Zhenhua looked at Yang Xin with apologetic eyes, thinking that he had caused Yang Xin to be troubled and Jiang Tiemei had provoked her.However, Yang Xin didn't dare to look at Lin Zhenhua anymore, and stood beside Jiang Tiemei, carefully watching her every move, for fear of making some small mistake again.

Lin Zhenhua walked around the workshop, not only recognizing the people in the workshop, but also observing the equipment in the workshop.The metalworking workshop consists of two interconnected single-story workshops. Each workshop is divided into two columns and various machine tools are placed, such as universal lathes, universal milling machines, planers, grinders, radial drilling machines, deep hole boring machines, etc. Lin Zhenhua has seen most of the equipment in the internship factory of Huaqing University.Of course, the CNC machine tools that Lin Zhenhua is more familiar with were not seen in this workshop at all, and it was difficult to find a few of them in the whole country at that time.

Alas, what a backwardness, Lin Zhenhua lamented in his heart, what kind of tricks can he play with such equipment.Fortunately, these people are still struggling to become some kind of technician. As a technician to operate such equipment, can they have any sense of maturity?
"Xiaohua, you don't know these machine tools, do you?" Zhong Rulin saw that Lin Zhenhua looked at the equipment in a daze, and thought he was shocked, "I have been a porter here for so many years, and I can only name these beds. , I don’t know exactly what they are for. You see, that one is called a lathe, and this one is called a milling machine. I think they are all about the same.”

"Oh, I know something about this." Lin Zhenhua said, "The main motion of the lathe is the rotation of the workpiece, and the movement of the tool is the feed motion. The milling machine is just the opposite. The rotation of the tool is the main motion, and the motion of the workpiece is the feed motion..."

His words were almost blurted out, without any intention of hiding anything.Zhong Rulin half-understood what he heard, but he vaguely felt that Lin Zhenhua was able to say that with some degree of certainty.He was about to ask Lin Zhenhua where he learned this, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say in a loud voice: "That's right, young man, whose apprentice are you?"

Zhong Rulin and Lin Zhenhua turned their heads and saw a tall middle-aged man standing behind them. He was about 40 years old. Looking at Lin Zhenhua intently.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know the middle-aged man, but Zhong Rulin hurriedly greeted the middle-aged man: "Director Zhu, oops, I didn't see you just now."

"Director Zhu?" Lin Zhenhua looked at Zhong Rulin inquisitively. He was a son of the factory, and the factory leaders knew about it, but they never knew that there was such a factory director as Zhu.

"My name is Zhu Tiejun. I transferred to our factory last year to be the deputy director. Are you new to the factory? Who are you learning technology from now?" Zhu introduced himself.

"Report, my name is Lin Zhenhua. I am a veteran. I was assigned to work in our factory. I just reported today. I am...Master Zhong's apprentice." Lin Zhenhua instinctively stood at attention to Zhu Tiejun, and replied in the language habits of the army .However, when it comes to whose apprentice he is, he still hesitates, because the porter is a general worker and has no skills, so there is no such thing as a master and apprentice.

"Veteran?" Zhu Tiejun obviously felt some closeness to Lin Zhenhua, "Which unit did you retire from?"

"Before I retired from the army, I was in the reconnaissance company of a certain division of a certain army." Lin Zhenhua replied.

"Oh, I happen to have comrades in a certain division. Your division should have participated in the self-defense counterattack?"

"Yes! Our division has fought all the way to Lang Son."

"Not bad." Zhu Tiejun said, "It's a pity that I changed my career too early, or I could have caught up with this battle. You said you just reported today, so who taught you the machine tool knowledge you just mentioned?"

In fact, what Lin Zhenhua said just now is the entry-level common sense of machining, and any machine tool worker knows it.But being able to speak so fluently is not easy, so Zhu Tiejun became interested in Lin Zhenhua.

"Well..." Lin Zhenhua was at a loss for words, "Report to Director Zhu, I'm originally a child of our factory, so I know a little bit. Also, I learned a little bit when I was in the army."

"Well, it's a good thing to like to study." Zhu Tiejun said, "Now you are apprenticed with Master Zhong, so you are becoming a porter?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to?"

"Yes, it's all revolutionary work. I obey the assignment." Lin Zhenhua said in a high-sounding manner. He didn't know Zhu Tiejun's character, so he felt that it was always right to speak some revolutionary language.

However, Zhu Tiejun was not moved by Lin Zhenhua's big words. He frowned and said, "Young man, if you have the opportunity, it's better to learn some skills. You should do your job first, read more books in your spare time, and find a master to learn." Learn technology. If you learn well, you can also become a technician in the future."

Lin Zhenhua didn't take Zhu Tiejun's encouragement very seriously in his heart. With his ability, he could play with all the machine tools in this workshop. Although he didn't dare to compare with an eighth-level worker like Zhou Houcheng, he was better than ordinary fourth-level and fifth-level workers. Should be no less.In fact, the basic operation of machine tools is not difficult. To become a senior technician, one needs to have rich practical experience, and the other needs to have the ability to comprehend machinery. Lin Zhenhua will not lose to anyone in the latter.

Seeing Lin Zhenhua's silence, Zhong Rulin quickly answered for him: "Director Zhu, Xiaohua will definitely work hard. He's very smart. It's a pity to be a general worker."

Only then did Lin Zhenhua come to his senses, and he followed Zhong Rulin's words and said, "Director Zhu, thank you for your encouragement. I will definitely study hard."

Zhu Tiejun nodded: "Well, I hope you don't embarrass us as soldiers."

Having said all this, Zhu Tiejun turned to other workers and began to ask some things about production.

"Director Zhu, good man." Zhong Rulin whispered to Lin Zhenhua.

"No way?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Didn't he say he only came last year? Why do you think he's a good guy?"

"I don't have airs at ordinary times. When I go to the workshop, I am completely equal to our workers. When I have a meeting with our workers, I can sit down with any iron lump, no matter it is dirty or not. If it is another factory manager, such a dirty place will definitely He refuses to sit." Zhong Rulin said.

"This can be regarded as a good factory manager, but you can't say that he is good based on this alone?"

"Also, he is fair. No matter who asks him to do something, he will do it immediately if he can do it, and he will do nothing if he can't. He will not accept anyone who gives him a gift. Think about it, he will not accept it. Li's factory manager, who else?"

Lin Zhenhua remembered that after he came back yesterday, countless people asked him to take something to give to the director in charge, so that he could be allocated a good job, so he couldn't help nodding: "Well, based on this, he is much better than that director Liang."

"That's right!" Zhong Rulin was very happy to see that Lin Zhenhua approved of his words, "Let me tell you one more thing, there is an old rightist in our factory named Bi Wankui, do you know?"

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "I've heard of this name before, it seems that he lives in a small dark room next to the pigsty, right?"

"It's him." Zhong Rulin continued, "During the Spring Festival this year, the factory leaders went to the workers' homes to pay New Year's greetings. When they passed by the pigsty, other factory managers said that he was an old rightist. Factory Manager Zhu said, what’s the matter with the rightists, and the rightists are also celebrating the new year, and then he took everyone to pay New Year’s greetings to Lao Bi. Lao Bi was so moved that he cried, saying that no factory leader had visited him for so many years. the first time."

"It's really not easy to be able to do this." Lin Zhenhua began to have some good feelings for Zhu Tiejun. In that era, everyone's political strings were still very tight. Zhu Tiejun was able to do this, which shows that in him In my heart, human dignity is far more important than political roles. Cadres who can do this are indeed rare.

"So." Zhong Rulin concluded, "He told you just now that if you learn some skills, you can become a technician in the future. Don't take it seriously. If you really learn some skills, Director Zhu will like you Yes, he went to the factory meeting and said that it is entirely possible for you to become a technician."

"Then should I give something to Director Zhu?" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile, "Twenty rings, grenades or something."

"Don't give it away." Zhong Rulin said solemnly, "If you have these things, give them to Director Liang. Director Zhu will not accept this."

"Then, Master Zhong, I'll give you this twenty rings first." Lin Zhenhua said, took out a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes from his pocket, and stuffed them into Zhong Rulin's pocket.
