Chapter 191 No Hope
early morning.
Zhao Yi rode his bicycle to the garment factory.
As soon as he arrived at the maintenance office of the garment factory, Xu Chao had already prepared tea for Zhao Yi and placed a newspaper ordered by the garment factory on the office desk, knowing that his master liked reading newspapers the most.
In fact, Zhao Yi doesn't like reading newspapers either, but information is not well developed nowadays, and many things can only be known by reading newspapers.
"Master."
Seeing Zhao Yi walk into the office, Xu Chao shouted with a smile.
"Well, if there's something wrong with the workshop today, go and fix it yourself. If you can't fix it, call me again."
Zhao Yi nodded, walked to the desk and sat down. From now on, Zhao Yi was ready to let go of the sewing machines in the garment factory. After ten days of disassembly, he had completely memorized all the parts of the sewing machines.
A morning passed.
Xu Chao fixed all the minor problems in the workshop himself, while Zhao Yi stayed in the office reading newspapers and listening to the radio.
There is a radio in the maintenance department, which is used by technicians to entertain themselves when they have nothing to do.
When it was almost time to get off work, there was nothing to do in the workshop, so Xu Chao sat opposite Zhao Yi and looked at him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Just tell me what you want to say. I won't necessarily help you with it even if you tell me."
Zhao Yi looked at Xu Chao's expression and said with some amusement.
"Master, I would like you to ask Salesman Wang if he is willing to date me."
Xu Chao blushed and stammered as he spoke out his true feelings.
"I'm just your master, not the matchmaker you hired. Besides, there are so many girls in the garment factory. Why don't you ask the Women's Federation to help you? Instead, you ask me, a layman, to tell them. How can a grown man like me tell them about this?"
Zhao Yi rolled his eyes at his disciple and said with a pout.
"Then I'll go ask my master's wife."
Xu Chao immediately said happily.
Zhao Yi was speechless at Xu Chao's train of thought, but he was too lazy to care about it. As for whether it would be useful for Zhang Jing to say it, that depended on Wang Caini's nod, otherwise it would be useless no matter who said it.
Zhao Yi rode his bicycle back to the department store before getting off work.
Zhang Jing wanted to go with Zhao Yan, but a bicycle couldn't hold two people.
Zhao Yi came to the site where the carpenter was almost done with his work.
"Comrade Zhao is here. What's the matter?"
I was very happy to see Zhao Yi and the other two carpenters. Now their meals are brought to them by the neighbors on the street next to the department store. They built a canopy kitchen, as well as round tables and benches.
Some neighbors would also come over to repair furniture or add one or two extra stools.
At first they were reluctant, but later they asked Zhao Yi to help the neighbors with these things. After all, they were getting paid by Zhao Yi, and using his salary to do things outside of work, how would Zhao Yi feel? Of course, they were willing to help only after Zhao Yi asked them to do so.
The neighbors also knew that this was taking advantage of Zhao Yi, so whichever family he helped repair furniture for today would send him food, which would include meat and wine.
The two apprentices now like to repair furniture for others. As for the two carpenters, they don't have the time for that. They have to hurry and finish the work here.
"It's like this, I would like you to help me put a stool with a backrest and footrest on the back seat, otherwise my little guy doesn't want to ride a bicycle."
Zhao Yi looked at the two of them and said.
"It's a simple matter. We can finish it in half a day."
The two were very happy when they heard this.
Ever since his foot was pinched by the steel rim of a bicycle, Zhao Peng refused to sit in the back seat again. As for Zhao Xuanxuan, she only sat on the bicycle frame after seeing that Zhao Peng's foot had been swollen for several days.
Zhao Yi locked his bicycle and left it here, then walked towards the restaurant.
At this time, Zhang Jing pulled Wang Cai Ni to the temporary kitchen. There were only the two of them there. Wang Cai Ni was eating braised pork while Zhang Jing was talking about something with a smile beside her.
"Nizi, Xu Chao is a talented person with a good family background. He will be a formal worker in the future. You two are about the same age. I know Xu Chao is a good person. Do you want to try to get to know him?"
"Aunt, I don't have that in mind right now."
Wang Caini shook her head. She had just started working and all her future salary would belong to her. She hadn't even had a few days to enjoy the good life yet, but she was already in a hurry to get married and serve her parents-in-law. Wang Caini didn't want to do that.
"Understanding is not marriage."
Zhang Jing smiled.
Wang Cai Ni smiled and didn't say anything. Zhang Jing understood that Wang Cai Ni didn't think highly of this silly boy Xu Chao at all.
"Okay then, take your time eating. If there is a suitable auntie, she can help you check it."
Zhang Jing didn't disturb Wang Cai Ni from continuing to eat. She walked over to Xu Chao with a smile and shook her head as she came over.
"I said this guy is stupid. There are so many single female comrades at the garment factory, but he didn't ask the Women's Federation for help, but had to go far away to seek help."
As soon as Zhao Yi saw Zhang Jing shaking his head, he immediately knew that this kid was just being overly sentimental.
"That's right, Xiao Chao. The female comrades who just came in the second workshop are not bad looking and are also regular employees. You go to repair machinery for them every day. Are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to get along with them?
I think you just don't know the principle that the one who is closest to the water gets the moon first. ”
Zhang Jing looked at Xu Chao and said.
Xu Chao nodded, feeling a little depressed knowing that Wang Caini looked down on him.
After lunch, Xu Chao lowered his head and prepared to leave.
"Listen to me, kid. If you come here tomorrow without your own rations, I will kick you out."
Zhao Yi looked at Xu Chao and said.
"Got it, Master."
Xu Chao smiled and rode his bike back home as fast as he could.
"The bastard comes here every day to eat for free."
Zhao Yi cursed with a smile.
"What are you laughing at? How are you doing with your skills?"
Zhao Yi looked at his cousin Zhao Yan again.
"It's OK. I've gotten the hang of it. Now my sister-in-law helps me cut and I operate the sewing machine."
Zhao Yan nodded, but still wanted to laugh. Every time Zhao Yi asked Xu Chao to bring rations, Xu Chao never brought any. Instead, he brought some expensive gifts, but her cousin refused to accept them.
"Learn it early so you can make money when you go back."
Zhao Yi nodded and said.
"You can't learn tailoring without more than a month. Don't think you can do it once you start. You have to be able to know the body shape and size of a person at a glance."
Zhang Jing continued.
"It's not like I have to take the garment factory exam."
Zhao Yi waved his hand.
Although Zhao Yan is not a worker in a garment factory, she got to experience the internal benefits of the garment factory today.
I bought two defective sets of clothes from the garment factory, one set for myself and one set for Chen Yan. I only spent ten yuan on both sets, and I didn't even need any cloth coupons. I was very happy at that moment.
"How can you not know how to do this when a customer who comes to make clothes asks you to take their measurements?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"Don't you need a ruler to make clothes? If she learns by herself over time, won't she be able to do everything?"
Zhao Yi retorted.
"I can't argue with you in any field. You have many apprentices, but how can I teach apprentices without an amateur like you?"
Zhang Jing rolled her eyes at Zhao Yi and said.
"Yes, yes, I am an outsider in making clothes and I will not get involved in your affairs."
When Zhao Yi saw that Zhang Jing was about to get angry, he immediately smiled and apologized.
