Back to the Red Age

Chapter 91: Only Recruiting Sons, Not Disciples

As soon as the door opened, a strange odor mixed with sweat, foot odor and various other smells hit his face. Li Jianjun's face suddenly changed. He couldn't hold it in anymore, and he vomited all of a sudden. .

Qin Ming had already been vaccinated by Yang Qingguo and Li Jianjun, and he didn't have high expectations for this single dormitory. But he was shocked when he saw the dormitory of the steel rolling mill. The small room of more than ten square meters has two large kangs. There were messy piles of dirty clothes, bedding, smelly socks and other things. Two ropes were pulled in the middle, and they were covered with all kinds of clothes.

Qin Ming does not have high requirements for accommodation, but those who can live in such conditions are not ordinary people! .

He closed the door with his backhand, "Sister Jun, we are not in a hurry about the dormitory. Let's go get the work clothes first."

Dark blue suit, this is the most fashionable mainstream clothing in this era.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ming, I really didn't expect those brats to make the dormitory like that." Li Jianjun felt a little embarrassed. She had a good impression of Qin Ming, and Qin Ming was a task assigned by the factory director himself, so she naturally I want to get things done, but the dormitory just now was already the best.

"It's okay, Sister Jun. We workers are busy building a new country every day. It's normal for us to have no time to take care of the trivial matters of life. I understand."

Men these days rarely know how to do laundry and cooking. They are all rough guys and are not proficient in these things. Without a woman around to take care of them, wouldn’t it be a messy life?
However, this dormitory seems to be unlivable. Qin Ming himself can't stand the strange smell every day. He might as well go home and live there every day. He is also riding a bicycle, so he is not too tired.

On the first day of reporting, Qin Ming did not rush to the workshop. Instead, he asked Li Jianjun to take him around the entire steel rolling mill until he had a clear understanding of the terrain inside. After finding out clearly, he would start work tomorrow. He took his leave.

When he came out, the uncle was moving a small mazaar to sit under the steps of the front room to bask in the sun. When he saw Qin Ming, he waved to him.

"How are you, young man? Where have you been assigned?"

"In the first workshop, learn fitter work," Qin Ming calmly took out two more cigarettes, "Uncle, are you familiar with this workshop?"

"If you want to talk about something else, my old man may not know. But if you want to talk about the fitter in the first workshop, old man, I know a little bit about it."

"The best fitter in the workshop is Master Yi. He is a level [-] fitter, and I heard he is approaching level [-]. Then there is Master Zhang, who is also a level [-] fitter. The rest are level [-] and level [-] fitters. It’s time for a fitter…”

The guard uncle was quite familiar with the situation of the masters in the workshop. Qin Ming asked about the situation in other workshops. The guard could almost answer the question. Was he asking about me?

"Uncle, please tell me which master is suitable for me to be my apprentice?"

"If you want to learn a craft, go to Master Li. Although he is only a sixth-level fitter, he still has the basic knowledge he needs to teach. Moreover, he is kind to his apprentices and cares about them. Master Zhang is also good at it, but he is strict with his apprentices. Let's Many young apprentices in the factory have been scolded and cried by him, but they can also learn real skills, and Master Wang..."

"That's not right, sir. Master Yi has the highest level of work and the best skills. Why not ask him to become your apprentice?" Qin Ming raised his own question.

"Master Yi, he needs to pass his test before he can accept a disciple. However, his family's situation is special. No one can pass his test in these years."

"Oh, what did you say?" Qin Ming looked curious, but he was already wary. Any abnormal situation might cause problems.

"This..." The uncle hesitated for a moment, and Qin Ming calmly stuffed two more cigarettes into his mouth, "Uncle, I have a brother who also wants to be a fitter..."

Brothers were born out of nothing. The uncle did not suspect anything and just smoked a cigarette as usual. "Master Yi is also a pitiful man. His wife cannot give birth. It is said that she has taken a lot of medicine but there is no movement in her stomach. He is A good man, he didn't divorce his wife because of this, but kept spending money on her medical treatment. In order not to burden her, and he didn't plan to adopt a child, he planned to find a reliable apprentice to teach his craftsmanship, and then provide for him in the future. What do you think? How can a normal person agree to this? Although they are both teachers for one day and fathers for life, they are only half sons after all. He wants to treat someone as his son, who dares to take over?"

"No, families with difficult family conditions and many sons should still be willing to become teachers and support themselves in old age, right?" Qin Ming thought for a while and said, these days, it is important to have more children and more blessings. There are a lot of sons, but they are not harmonious. It’s quite a lot, and besides, everyone is generally not living well, and there are many people who don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. Master Yi is a seventh-level fitter, which is equivalent to the administrative level 18, and he can earn 87.5 per month. Such a high salary, He deserves to be treated as his son.

"That's true. Over the years, no one wanted to be Master Yi's disciple, but in the end they all failed his examination."

……

I have no children, and I am not willing to adopt a child. Instead, I test my apprentice to provide for myself in old age. This sounds too ridiculous.

has a problem!
On the way back to the village, Qin Ming was thinking about what Bao asked. He didn't pay attention to the big tree at the head of the village. He turned a corner and headed towards his home.This time, the villagers chatting under the big tree were not happy.

The news that Qin Ming was recruited into the steel rolling mill as a worker today has spread throughout the village. Everyone is stuck here. How could Qin Ming just go by like this? Seeing that he was about to run away, how many villagers were there under the big tree? He ran away to inform others, and the remaining people swarmed around him.

There were men and women, old and young. They all stopped in front of Qin Ming. Qin Ming had to stop the car and asked, "What are you guys doing?"

"Master Qin, we have all heard that you are now a worker in the steel rolling mill. This is a big happy event for our Hongliang Village. No matter what, we have to set up two tables. Can you invite everyone to celebrate?"

"This is the first worker our village has produced in so many years. You are the face of our Hongliang Village."

"That's it, Qin Ming. Auntie has known for a long time that you are the most promising person in our village. Don't let us down."

……

Everyone wanted Qin Ming to bleed and treat him with every word he said.

Some people even went too far and directly asked the chefs from Fengzeyuan to come over and cook.

"The food I ate the past few days was delicious. The temperature has dropped in the past two days, and I feel like my old bones can't survive it. Qin Ming, you told me that grandpa is old, and you don't have anything else to think about. I want to be able to eat Fengzeyuan’s food again. If you are so capable, you won’t fail to satisfy your little wish of grandpa Shu, right?”

Qin Ming finally understood that what these people wanted was shameless attention, a high hat, and then a moral kidnapping, which made Qin Ming unable to refuse, and in the end he could only treat him as a scapegoat.

"Uncle Wang, you said that your little piglet has grown to [-] pounds. It can be killed. It just so happens that while we are all here, we can help you kill it together. We can also have a meal of slaughtered pigs, right?"

"Aunt Li, that's not what you said at the beginning. I remember clearly that you scolded me for being a loser who relied on my family for a living all my life. My mother even fought with you because of this. You Why did you forget it so quickly?"

"Grandpa Shu wants to eat. It's easy. Let your eldest grandson take you into the city. Restaurants are everywhere in Sijiu City. You have worked hard all your life. When you die, let alone a Fengze Garden, just a state banquet. It’s also appropriate, I’m sure your grandson won’t refuse your request.”

The faces of those named by Qin Ming changed.

This little thing is really sharp-tongued.

Since you can't take advantage, don't blame us for being rude.

"Qin Ming, you are too cruel. My piggy is only a little bigger and you want to kill it. Are you still a human? You are too cold-blooded."

"You kid, I'm telling you that this is all for your own good. Why are you so petty at such a young age? Are you still arguing with your elders?"

"Unfilial! Today's young people are so unfilial!"

……

"I'm cold-blooded, I'm careless, I'm unfilial? OK, you can say whatever you want."

Qin Ming spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Originally, the district has invited me to attend a report meeting before the Spring Festival, and to serve as a role model to tell heroic deeds. I thought this was a good opportunity to bring glory to our village, and I also planned to take the opportunity to bring back some good girls to our village. , It’s a pity that my reputation will be ruined after today, and this report will be in vain.”

The people who had just spoken so enthusiastically were suddenly silenced like a big cock being strangled by their necks.
