In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the north is roaring and snowflakes are falling.
Yan Jiecheng followed the sound of the drum tower bell and got up on time.
After getting up, I opened the door and saw another blanket of snow. This was the second time this year that I had to clear snow. Today, it was not so pleasant. I was in a hurry and had to go to work after finishing the work.
Every household and every unit should clean a section of the road in front of their door. This is for the convenience of themselves and others.
The temperature was low, and it might have snowed all night. Yan Jiecheng went to work after it snowed for the first time in this era. After the snow, the whole city seemed to be busy.
There are people plowing snow everywhere, some are organized by work units, some are organized by streets, and some are volunteering to serve the people.
Unsurprisingly, I was late. There were people cleaning the steel rolling mill everywhere. Yan Jiecheng rushed to the office first. He was not the last person to arrive. At least half of the people had not come yet.
Later I learned that when encountering special weather, there is no need to rush in. Safety comes first. Just work overtime in the afternoon when you arrive late and complete your tasks. I feel lonely when I am in a hurry.
Each department in the steel rolling mill has its own area that needs to be cleared of snow. There are only so many tools, and those who came early have already gone. The last time it snowed, Yan Jiecheng didn't know it. It was because he didn't want to delay normal production, so it was arranged on Sunday.
Worked overtime to clean up.
After the snow plowers left, there were not enough technical staff. They were assigned more work, and they couldn't hold their heads up when they were busy. At noon, they could only give Kaixin their meal tickets and lunch boxes and ask him to bring them back.
"Which canteen did you go to to get the food? Doesn't it look like it was made by Sha Zhu?" Yan Jiecheng asked.
"You can even eat boiled Chinese cabbage? This is the third canteen. There are a lot of things today, so I can just make it a meal."
"Let's not talk about cooking meat and vegetables. They can all be made delicious. The most important thing is these ordinary cabbages, radishes, and potatoes. Are you done with your work over there? Can you draw some pictures for me later?" Third
The cooking in the canteen is too perfunctory. The chef is a relative of the leader or something.
"Gong Liu has arranged a lot of work for me today. When I finish it, I will come over and help you."
"I'm in a hurry here. After you finish helping me, let's get off work early and invite you to have some mutton soup together."
At this time, all drawings were done by hand, which was very troublesome. Yan Jiecheng thought of using computer drawings again. Even if he was not proficient in using mechanical drawing software, these simple three-view drawings only took an hour or two.
After Zhang Kaixin finished his work, he came over to help Yan Jiecheng draw the picture. The two of them finally finished it during normal get off work hours. Today can be said to be Yan Jiecheng's busiest day at work.
The two of them came to a time-honored mutton soup restaurant. The store is not big. It is said to have a long history. The craftsmanship of several generations is now owned by a public-private partnership, but the craftsmanship of this small shop is still passed down.
Two people each came with four taels of mutton soup, a peanut, two sheep hooves, a mutton liver cut, and Zhang Xin asked for a kidney. He didn't know why a young man who didn't even have a partner wanted to eat kidneys. Yan Jiecheng secretly complained.
, isn’t it because you are angry enough to open your heart? Are all the single guys vain? Are you also looking for a widow to play with?
The mutton soup is boiled to a milky white color, with some chili pepper and vinegar, and is served with sesame seed cakes. After drinking the mutton soup, people will feel warm.
Yan Jiecheng didn't like drinking on an empty stomach in his previous life, and he also likes to eat something before drinking in this life. Just listen to what Zhang Zhang said honestly, Zhao Lei is doing a good job in the Ministry of Industry, and it's going smoothly. However, the two of them work in the technical department of the steel rolling mill.
Normally I have no contact with the ministry, so this relationship is basically useless.
Wang Liangtu was not short of words at the cannery, so he went to work in the cannery. The job was very good, and he found a partner in the cannery. Now he is waiting for the housing problem to be solved before talking about marriage.
Two of the four golden flowers in the class are already married. Kaixin is active in the class, actively participates in various activities, and has a good relationship with most of his classmates. Yan Jiecheng has a lot of things of his own to be busy with, but he also has to keep a low profile.
If you are a little transparent, you won’t get news like this as quickly as you open your heart.
"Even though we have a small number of people in the technical department, we are still divided into factions." Zhang Kaixin said with a mysterious face.
"We are a technical department, but it is not a department with real power. We are divided into factions!" This was the first time Yan Jiecheng heard this statement.
"It definitely has nothing to do with us little technicians. We have it at the engineer level. As far as I know, there is a group headed by Director Yang, a group that listens to the logistics deputy director Li, and a group represented by our section chief who only cares about technology.
of centrism.”
"Have the two people fought for power in the technical department?" Yan Jiecheng said that he knew about these two people. In the next ten years, these two people will be the powerful ones in the steel rolling mill. After Director Yang took power, Deputy Director Li became the leader.
"If we don't master these technical masters, how can we have the confidence to speak in the steel rolling mill? We won't be able to carry out our work."
"None of this will affect us. We just have to work hard. We have just started working in the factory and our internship period has not yet passed."
"Who do you think has the final say in the future steel rolling mill?"
"Who knows, whoever has the final say, we have to become a regular director first. Whoever can improve the efficiency of the steel rolling mill, contribute more to the country, and give us more benefits is a good factory director." Yan Jiecheng knew it but couldn't say it.
.
Unexpectedly, the two people have started fighting for the right to speak now. If it has been long enough, it may have started earlier.
"Our department is relatively close to graduating from the same school. Didn't you find that several seniors take good care of us?" Zhang Kai said heartily.
"Well, I've felt this too. It's the same everywhere in the school group. At least you won't suffer if you have seniors to protect you." A small department is just like a small society. Fortunately, I didn't choose the administrative route.
Without this kind of brain, no matter how good your memory is, it will be useless.
"Come, drink. I think it's good to study with Li Gong now. You should also study hard with Liu Gong. Liu Gong seems to think highly of you. If he can accept you as his apprentice, you can do the same in the future.
Engineer." Yan Jiecheng said.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Is that silly Zhu from the No. 1 cafeteria in the same courtyard as you?"
"Yes, he is from our courtyard. What happened to Silly Zhu?"
"What's his relationship with Widow Qin? Why did I hear that the two of them got together? They look like a couple in the factory!"
"It doesn't matter. Silly Zhu just sees the widow as pitiful and wants to help the widow's family."
"You said that an old bachelor and a pretty young widow got together, just to look pitiful. Do you think I believe it or not?" Zhang Kaixin said with determination as if he had seen it.
I don’t know if Xu Damao spread the news again, or if the news fermented naturally, and the technical department knew the gossip about the two people.
