When it was time to change shifts, a lame worker who was cleaning entered the workshop, looking very out of place.
"Isn't there a clear rule that we can't clean during shift changes?"
“No!” Master Lu is an old employee in the factory. After retiring from the army, he entered a cadre school and was directly assigned to the steel plant half a year later.
He has seniority in the factory. If it weren't for his disabled hands, he would have no problem being made the factory director.
If he said there is no such regulation, then there definitely isn't one.
"Our factory has large workshops like this, which are very difficult to clean. However, the factory has high hygiene requirements, so we have to work wherever we can. Although it may seem like a cleaning job, it is not easy at all. We also have to help move waste materials..."
Master Lu talked eloquently. He really knew the steel plant very well. Take this accident for example. He knew all 31 victims. Some of them were second-generation steel workers, and Master Lu was very familiar with the situation of their fathers' generation.
In order to cooperate with Si Lu in finding the real murderer, the old man never kept idle, and kept telling these thirty-one people everything he knew, from top to bottom, inside and out.
Si Lu took a small notebook to take notes, while Jiang Chuanjun was responsible for pouring tea and water for the two of them.
Guo Xianda didn't leave either. After cutting the potatoes into shreds, he helped boil water and clean the pig's head.
Fan Dashao wanted to prepare pig heads, but removing the hair was not an easy job. He had poor eyesight and sometimes couldn't clean them properly. That was why he hadn't done it for a long time.
A coolie happened to come today and he was quite handy, so I just took out the pig's head first.
"Work hard, not a single hair can be left behind."
"Oh." Guo Xianda realized that he was just a small figure and anyone could subdue him.
"Baby, let me ask you, where are you from and why are you so hungry?"
While Guo Xianda was cleaning the pig's head, he chatted with Fan Dashao in a casual manner, "I am from Beijing, but my mother died early, and my father became a stepfather after he remarried! I went to the countryside for several years, and although I came back, I still have no job, and my family doesn't care about me, so I have no food to eat."
However, he was lucky to meet...
Uh, he still doesn’t know what the name of Lei Zi’s friend is!
Fan Dashao pulled him aside to talk to him in order to distract him and prevent him from hearing what Si Lu and the others were saying. But when he heard him talk about his life experience, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
If the eldest brother were still alive, his grandson would be about this age, right?
"Where are you staying tonight?"
"My household registration is at home, but unfortunately, they don't like me. They say there's no room for me at home, so I stay at my friends' houses, two days here, two days there."
At this point, Guo Xianda felt a little sad. Summer was still okay, but the hardest time was winter. The air was drafty everywhere, and there was not enough food to eat. He felt like he might freeze to death at any time.
After a while, the first pig's head was cleaned up. Guo Xianda handed the pig's head to Fan Dashao respectfully, "Here, I've finished cleaning it."
Fan Dashao had not thought that he could clean it up completely, but at first glance, hey, he did a good job. He took out a magnifying glass and looked carefully, and he really didn't find a single pig hair.
When Guo Xianda saw the magnifying glass, he was already speechless. Then, seeing him looking for the pig hairs one by one, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"My method of cooking pig head meat is different from others. The hair can only be plucked one by one. If you burn it with fire or scald it with water, you won't be able to make authentic pig head meat."
Is this even so?
Guo Xianda expressed his doubt. Does he really look like a fool and not very smart?
"Go, take care of the other two as well, just at this level."
"oh."
It's only right that someone who eats your food should be grateful for what he has done, so it's only right that he be asked to do some work.
Guo Xianda moved back and forth in the house and yard like a top. He not only took out the pig's head, but also cleaned the pig's large intestine.
It is not easy to wash pig intestines. It has a strong smell and cannot be put into the pot if it is not washed cleanly.
Fortunately, this kid is an honest person. Although he doesn't look very reliable, he does clean things up quite well.
“Not bad.”
Fan Dashao took out three dollars from his pocket and handed it over, "Don't think this is too little for your wages."
Guo Xianda refused to take it, "I will be satisfied if you can provide me with a full meal. Well, this little work is nothing." He waved his hand to refuse the money, but was afraid that the old man would really give him the money, so he ran out quickly.
Just then Si Lu and the others had finished their talk, and Jiang Chuanjun was helping Master Lu walk out, when they met again in the yard.
"You haven't left yet."
Guo Xianda smiled embarrassedly, "That's good..."
He reflexively wanted to call him a hero, but he felt something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words, "Brother, I helped the old man with some work, and I was about to leave. Then I, I'm leaving."
Fan Dashao chased after him and insisted on giving him money.
Guo Xianda didn't dare to make any big moves, for fear that the old man would be thrown out, which would be a big sin for him.
"What's going on?" Si Lu was confused. "I don't understand what you said."
Fan Dashao always does things according to his heart. This is the first time I see him so persistent and insist on giving money.
"Brother, this is what happened..."
When Guo Xianda told the story, Si Lu was left in tears and amused by the old man and the young.
"That's enough, you're so stubborn. Uncle Fan gave it to you as a token of his recognition of you. Take it! Just make yourself familiar with him this time. You can come back next time if you run out of food."
Guo Xianda glanced at Fan Dashao and saw a bit of tenderness in his eyes and eyebrows before he took it. "Thank you, thank you."
"Uncle Fan, let's go now."
The group of people left the courtyard, and the courtyard returned to peace.
It’s just so quiet that it’s a little scary.
Fan Dashao locked the door, put his hands behind his back, and went back into the house.
"You have shown your face in front of Uncle Fan this time. If you have no food to eat in the future, just come here! Uncle Fan is a good person. As long as you are diligent and have a keen eye, he will not treat you unfairly."
"Brother, you just introduced me to the old man like this, aren't you afraid that I might do something..." After all, his character is a gangster.
Si Lu smiled and said, "The old man's seven children are all martyrs. Do you really think that he lives here alone?" Who knows how many eyes are staring at the old man!
If he is bullied, it would be a slap in the face to the organization. They can't even take care of the hero's old father. Isn't that a shame to the heroic spirit?
"I see. Oh, by the way, brother, I don't even know your name!"
Si Lu glanced at him and said, "Go home quickly. I'll tell you next time we meet."
When Si Lu returned home, it was already completely dark. The weather was as hot as a steamer and the mosquitoes disturbed people's sleep.
Jiang Yan was waiting for him with the fan on...
