Uncle Zhao drank some wine and his face was a little rosy. He coughed twice and said: "Mao Xiaoqiang has been absent from work too much recently. It just so happens that his father has been attending meetings out of town and has not been able to take care of him. It also happened that the inspection team from above recently came down to inspect the work. Click
When I arrived at Mao Xiaoqiang, I found that he was not there. When I found him, he was playing poker and gambling at a friend's house. For this reason, Mao Xiaoqiang wrote a 3,000-word examination and was temporarily suspended..."
Hearing that Mao Xiaoqiang was suspended, Zhao Minglan clapped his hands happily and said: "Great, that disgusting guy finally got his comeuppance."
Aunt Hong pushed Zhao Minglan and said, "What are you talking about? It's just a suspension, not a dismissal. Mao Xiaoqiang's father is Mao Jianhua. It's not like you don't know this."
"So what? Anyway, he won't compete with my dad this year, right dad?"
Uncle Zhao chuckled and nodded.
While Uncle Zhao was thinking that he was about to become an advanced individual, Ma Xiaoquan began to gradually get started with his work in the riveting factory. As the saying goes, with competitors, your progress will be greater. Because of the existence of Ma Liehuo, Ma Xiaoquan
He is usually very attentive when studying and working, but even so, he is still not as good as his father when it comes to getting started with work.
However, for detailed tasks such as drawing, Ma Xiaoquan fully utilized his advantage of graduating from a science and engineering university. For some of the relatively unfamiliar principles explained by Master Wang, Ma Xiaoquan almost understood them at first glance, which made Master Wang really happy.
After get off work in the afternoon, Master Wang invited Ma Liehuo and Ma Xiaoquan to the restaurant.
In the 1980s, almost all restaurants were state-owned. The food was delicious and very affordable, but you had to pay for food stamps every time you bought food. Of course, if you didn't have food stamps, you could just add an extra two or three cents.
Seeing the table full of food, Ma Xiaoquan and Ma Liehuo were stunned. Although Ma Liehuo was half a son, he usually only had meat and vegetables at home, and the food was limited. Now that Master Wang has prepared such a table at once, first
Not to mention how rich it is, whether you can finish it or not is another matter.
"Master, are you doing too much?" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Master Wang's bowl.
Master Wang poured himself a glass of wine, took a small sip first, and then said with a smile: "Today, your master, I am happy, so I will prepare this table. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. Take it back to the dormitory and eat it slowly. Your dormitory
Aren’t there two more?”
Ma Liehuo suggested: "Master, it will definitely taste better if you eat it now. How about I call those two over? Let's go together?"
Although Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin were not apprentices with Master Wang, Master Wang did not exclude them.
"Okay, then go ahead and call me. Xiaohu will stay and chat with me and have a couple of drinks."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand quickly: "Master, my drinking capacity is too bad, why don't I call you and my dad, oh no, you and Liehuo drink and eat first..." After that, Ma Xiaoquan stood up and prepared to leave.
seat.
Ma Liehuo stood up quickly, pushed Ma Xiaoquan back, and said with a smile: "Boy, didn't you see? The master obviously wants to have a drink with you first, come on, I'll call Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin.
"
Ma Xiaoquan gave a wry smile and could only bite the bullet and laugh.
After Ma Liehuo left, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the wine bowl and prepared to toast Master Wang. Unexpectedly, Master Wang waved his hand and motioned for him to put it down.
"Master, what's wrong? Is this the wrong wine?"
Master Wang shook his head, as if he had something on his mind.
"Master, if you have encountered something, if you can, tell me. If I can help, I will definitely help. If not, just treat it like me. What do you think?"
Master Wang glanced at Ma Xiaoquan meaningfully and did not answer him directly. Instead, he asked: "Xiaohu, tell me honestly, are you one of those people?"
"That group of people?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and asked, "Which group of people?"
Master Wang chuckled: "You people never tell the truth."
Ma Xiaoquan looked confused: "Master, if you have something to say, say it directly and don't beat around the bush, okay?"
Master Wang grinned: "Anyway, no matter whether you are part of that group of people or not, at least you are in the riveting factory now. I will take you with you, so you have to listen to me."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Master, just tell me what you want me to do for you, and don't care whether I am one of those people. Do you dare?"
Master Wang frowned: "Why don't you dare to do this? I can even risk my life, but why am I afraid of you?"
"Isn't that enough? Master, since you dare, what do you want me to do?"
Master Wang put away his smile, his face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Did you see the man in the black coat the day you and Lie Huo first entered the workshop?"
"Yes, what's wrong, master? Is that person wrong?"
Master Wang did not answer, but took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
"This is..." Ma Xiaoquan flattened the paper and looked at it, his eyes widened, "Master, this thing... we can't make it, can we?"
Master Wang took back the crumpled paper and said, "Can you see that too?"
Ma Xiaoquan hummed. In fact, he was more shocked, because the thing drawn on this crumpled paper could not be made in this era. Even the most powerful developed countries nowadays
, are impossible.
"Master, where did you get this drawing?"
Master Wang didn't hide anything: "The one in the black coat is for me."
"Is it possible for you to do it? How is this possible? The technological level of this era is simply not up to it. Even more than thirty years later, we can barely do it..."
Master Wang may seem like a rough guy, but in fact he is very thoughtful. When he heard Ma Xiaoquan mention the words "era", "technological level" and "more than thirty years later", he already had an idea for Ma Xiaoquan in his mind.
The initial judgment is that he is in the restaurant right now and it is not convenient for him to say anything more.
"It's not that I'm asked to do it, and I can't make it at all. They just asked me to make one of the parts. The picture you just saw is only a very small part of the thing they need to make.
This part requires complete manual polishing and manufacturing.”
Ma Xiaoquan wondered: "Don't foreign machine manufacturing have higher precision? Do they have to be polished by hand?"
Master Wang smiled mysteriously: "Xiaohu, sometimes don't look down on us people too much. With decades of craftsmanship, at least some skills can be used."
"Well, okay, master, what do you need me to do?"
Master Wang looked around and was about to say something when he saw Ma Liehuo leading Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin at the door of the restaurant.
Master Wang responded quickly. He waved to the three of them, and then he greeted them with a smile as if he had changed into a different person.
Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin were not Master Wang's apprentices, so they were a little reserved when it came to Master Wang's invitation to dinner, and they did not dare to take their chopsticks after sitting down.
It was Ma Liehuo who was going to cause trouble. He picked up the chopsticks and gave them to the two of them: "Eat, why are you standing there in a daze? Our Master Wang is not a tiger."
The two of them were startled and looked at Master Wang. Master Wang chuckled and said, "Li Huo is right, you all live in the same dormitory, and my two apprentices probably don't have much to worry about, so we all help and take care of each other.
"
Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin nodded their thanks repeatedly.
Master Wang said: "Master Zhao, who is taking you two, has something to do with his family recently, and he just asked for leave today. He was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you two when he left, so he entrusted me to tell you two. He may have to ask for leave for about half a month.
The two of you can only start by watching on your own. When you are busy working in the workshop, you can have a sharper eye and help with some materials. If you want to learn, you can come to my place and watch."
Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin sighed heavily.
"Okay, let's not talk about the factory, let's eat~~"
...
An hour and a half later, the drunk Ma Liehuo was carried back by Zhao Sidan and Wang Jianmin.
After Master Wang paid the bill, he invited Ma Xiaoquan to walk outside for a while.
Ma Xiaoquan didn't drink much during the meal. Although he had a low alcohol tolerance and was allergic, at least his head was still clear.
When I walked out of the restaurant with Master Wang, Master Wang lit up a cigarette and started smoking.
The topics that have not been finished before can be continued after Master Wang lights up this cigarette.
"Xiaohu, I think you can understand a lot of pictures, so I have to ask you to help me advise on how to do some tricks on this part."
"Eh?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned, "Master, what are you doing?"
Master Wang gave a bitter smile: "I was inexplicably involved in something I shouldn't have been involved in, and now I am being threatened, but I am unwilling to give in, so I thought..."
Ma Xiaoquan narrowed his eyes and thought carefully about Master Wang's motives. Although he didn't know what Master Wang was involved in, he could tell from his expression that it must be something very difficult.
"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, "As long as this part is polished by hand, there will definitely be deviations, so no matter how it is done, it will have a specified use time, and it may have been replaced before the problem occurs."
"What should I do? My son still..." Master Wang hesitated.
"Master, if you believe me, you can tell me what you are encountering now. Of course, if you still doubt that I am those people, then there is no need."
At this time, Master Wang had finished smoking a cigarette. Without stopping, he lit another cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled thick smoke.
"Actually...even if you are one of those people, it doesn't matter. After all, this thing is made for those people." Master Wang murmured.
Ma Xiaoquan did not explain anymore. This kind of thing became darker and darker. Besides, who were those people? He still didn't understand who those people Master Wang was talking about?
"Let's do it this way. During our weekend off this week, you come to my house for a casual meal and I'll chat with you."
