6. Old motorcycle
At that time, the interest rate for bank deposits was still very high.
In order to absorb funds, some banks can pay 10% of the interest for ten years.
But Takasaki can't deposit money in the bank, he will need money soon.
Because according to the time of his previous life, he would marry his wife this winter.
He was waiting for that special moment.
Before that moment came, he had to sell enough silver dollars to exchange for money to buy a commercial building in the city. He didn't want to let his wife suffer because of buying that building, just like in his previous life.
In addition, getting married also costs a lot of money, and he doesn't want to marry his wife so hasty and simple, just like in his previous life, that would be too sorry for her.
At that time, the best house in the city was only 500 yuan per square meter. The one they bought was a house with a 75 square meter two bedroom and one living room, which cost less than 40,000 yuan.
However, at that time, he only earned more than 400 yuan a month, and his wife only had 300 yuan. Even if they didn't eat or drink, they had to save six or seven years to save.
For this house, they saved up for two years, spent only his wife's money every month, saved his salary, and with the sponsorship of their parents, they had just saved enough of the down payment of the house.
Two people, 300 yuan a month, have to pay rent, water and electricity, and bear other unexpected consumption, and it is difficult to support until the end of the month.
Sometimes when my wife has no money, she has to eat pickles.
In this life, Takasaki planned to buy a bigger house and make his wife live a much happier life, so he had to save enough money before getting married.
The factory did not ask everyone to buy shares. He first paid back the three thousand dollars his mother gave him for the money he sold the silver dollars.
It’s not easy for a family, and parents don’t have high salaries, so they have to support their younger brother in college.
Since he has the opportunity to make money, he will try not to burden his family.
He made a rough calculation and even bought a house, decorating, and the cost of getting married would cost about 100,000 yuan.
He needs to sell another thousand silver dollars to make up the 100,000 yuan.
Selling 1,000 silver dollars in the antique market in this small town can easily attract others' attention and make others remember him. Because the cash register shops are limited, he does not want to sell them to vendors who set up street stalls at a cheap price.
Let others notice that they have so many silver dollars, they will definitely cause trouble.
So, when the factory was resting on Sunday, he took a bus to the provincial capital, pretending to be a vendor who came from the countryside to sell cashiers, and went there to sell some silver dollars.
The provincial capital pays more attention to silver dollars, and the prices of eight years and three years are different. If the silver dollars have signatures, one piece is worth thousands of yuan.
This is the knowledge he has gained after he has been there many times and has communicated with others.
At this time, he realized that the valuable silver dollars now will be more valuable in the future. He tried to sell the most valuable ones for eight years, the least valuable ones.
It was eight years old. In the antique market in the provincial capital, one can be exchanged for 150 yuan, which is much more than selling it in Tangcheng.
But the amount of silver dollars he wanted to sell was too large, so he didn't dare to sell them all in the provincial capital.
Sometimes, he goes elsewhere.
He has been to any counties and cities around Tangcheng, who can travel around bus or train in a day. He has also sold silver dollars from 80 to 150.
As the silver dollar sold more and more, the money in his hands became more and more, and he was getting closer to the goal of 100,000.
And the special moment he was waiting for soon arrived.
June 4, 2000 was a Sunday, two days later, the Dragon Boat Festival will be on the 6th.
At that time, there was no such thing as a Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
Tangcheng Gauge General Factory has not much production tasks for each branch. It is impossible to rely on the tasks of the general factory to support the two hundred people in the branch factory.
Therefore, each branch factory will independently go to society to take on some work that they can do according to their own situation, try to earn some money, and pay their employees.
In this case, everyone works with pieces and gets their salary, so they don’t care about Sundays.
If you do one more, you will get one more money. In terms of production processes, most workers also have to work on Sundays.
Workers come to work, and some people have to be on duty for maintenance assistance positions like management and Takasaki.
On this day, like before, Takasaki and Liu Jin were on duty.
And when Takasaki came back from time to time, he was waiting for this day.
It was still nothing in the morning, so Gao Qi and Liu Jin were sitting opposite the fitter's workshop playing chess.
Equipment repairmen, if the equipment is not broken, they have nothing to do, and they won’t care about them even if they play chess and poker branches, as long as they don’t delay things.
One morning, the two played five games, and Takasaki lost four games.
"Brother Gao, are you not in the state today?" Liu Jin laughed at him.
Liu Jin is a famous chess player, and he regrets the chess king. He usually has difficulty winning one game, but this time he won four games in a row.
On this day of the previous life, they also played chess all morning. Has Liu Jin beat him? Gao Qi can't remember it. But what is certain is that Liu Jin will never win him in four games.
Gao Qi's heart was not in the mood for playing chess with Liu Jin in the mill workshop. He was just repeating the things of that day, striving to be exactly the same, fearing that something would change or something would happen.
If he hadn't thought that the change in the game of chess and the change in the past would have changed. He had forced himself to win in the last game and beat Liu Jin.
It was so easy to get off work that I went to the cafeteria to get a meal.
The only difference is that you don’t go to the single dormitory to get lunch boxes.
He no longer lives in a single dormitory, and the town where he bought the house was far away from the factory. He put the lunch box in his own drawer under the desk of the fitter's workshop, and directly made a meal and ate here.
After eating, lying on the bench to rest.
I had something in my heart, but how could I sleep? I felt that time was almost stagnant. I turned over on the chair, tossed and struggled a few times, and finally got up and sat and smoked.
I smoked one cigarette after another, and I smoked five or six in a row, and then I gradually lost my anxiety and work time was coming.
Half an hour after work, Yang Lianhai from the grinder's work section came over and said that his m131 outer cylindrical grinder was grinding his big head and let Gao Qi go over and see what was going on?
Exactly the same as in the previous life!
Takasaki let out a long sigh.
The big and small head is the tip of the tail seat, and it is just adjusted with a dial indicator, and it is not difficult.
However, this adjustment of accuracy is a meticulous job that Liu Jin can't do.
Takasaki took out tools such as copper rods, hammers, and allen wrenches from his drawer, and there were all dial-meter dry grinders, so he didn't need to take them.
"Brother Gao, am I still going with you?"
Seeing that he had taken the tools and wanted to go out, Liu Jin asked him.
Logically speaking, Liu Jin’s maintenance skills are not good, so he should follow him to learn it.
But this kid is not at all focused on this, and he will not learn even if he goes there, and he will only cause trouble.
When Takasaki first entered the factory, he followed his master to apprenticeship. The master walked in front empty-handedly, and he followed behind with tools.
When the master repairs the equipment, he has to concentrate on listening to the master's instructions, see what the master is doing and how to do it?
Only in this way can the master reach out to him and accurately hand over the tools he needs to the master.
He had to clean the parts removed by the master with kerosene and place them one by one in sequence.
In this way, when the master loads the parts up, he will hand them to the master one by one, so that he will not make any mistakes.
It was during this process that he slowly understood the structure of the equipment and how the master disassembled and assembled the equipment. He was able to work independently and eventually became a qualified repairman.
Liu Jin's generation is different from when he was an apprentice.
When he was apprenticing, he had to go to work at least half an hour in the morning, clean the workshop, go to the boiler room to fill the heater with boiling water, and wait for the masters to come to work, so there is hot water to drink.
It would be nice if Liu Jin was not late to work, let alone in advance.
Basic skills of fitters, files, hacksaws, chisels, and scrapers. This kid can't pick up any of them, and he can't even match a key.
Repair the equipment and get tools for the master, don’t even think about it, it’s good to follow it.
After repairing the equipment, he got greasy hands. Gao Qi had to fetch water and wash his hands for the master. He could only wash his hands after the master finished washing. Now he was the one who fetched water himself. Liu Jinning used the dirty water he had washed his hands, and he was too lazy to fetch new water.
Often, Takasaki couldn't stand it, so he went to fetch him water and came back to wash his hands.
Gao Qi was not willing to take him with such a living treasure. If the team leader Wu Youchen had not forced him to take Liu Jin, he would not have taken him.
At this time in his previous life, Liu Jin asked him this way. He only said the word "no need" and left with the tool.
In this life, he still said this and did this.
Yang Lianhai’s m131 is opposite the door of the milling workshop, and is diagonally opposite his wife’s m141w.
When he entered the door, he saw his wife standing in front of his grinder working, with a medium and short young man next to him.
The young man looked twenty-five or six years old, wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a floral short-sleeved shirt tied around his waist, and some white jeans and white travel shoes underneath.
This was Tang Cheng's fashionable outfit at that time.
The young man is named Zhao Guodong, nicknamed Lao Motorcycle, a worker at Tangcheng Measuring Gauge No. 6 Branch Factory, and is also a famous gangster in the factory.
He doesn't work normally, and the branch manager dares not provoke him, and he has to pay him more or less.
It turned out that Takasaki didn't know Lao Motorcycle, but he just knew that there was such a person in the factory. He knew Lao Motorcycle, which started today.
Takasaki pretended not to see the old motorcycle beside his wife, walked straight towards Yang Lianhai's m131 and began to dismantle the top shaft of the tailstock.
As soon as the bolts that fixed the top shaft were loosened, the sound of my wife's machine tool came to an abrupt end, and then there was a burst of crying.
"Why are you crying? I didn't care about you, so I'll give you a movie ticket."
This is the sound of an old motorcycle.
The original plot was that the old motorcycle was too close to his wife and was almost tied together. His wife wanted to bypass him, so he stretched out his arms to stop him and reached out to pull his wife.
Gao Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and with his temporary courage, he threw down the tools in his hand and walked over.
