Chapter 67 Graduation Exam
early morning.
Zhao Yi arrived at the door of the repair shop. The trainees had already been waiting there, but they were not standing with the people in line.
"Morning, Master."
When the students saw Zhao Yi, they immediately greeted him.
Gu Jianhua took out the alcohol and cigarettes that his uncle had given him yesterday and handed them to Zhao Yi.
"Master, this is a little gift from me."
"What are you doing? Your salary is not high. These things are too expensive. Take them back."
Zhao Yi waved his hand. Fenjiu was 3 yuan, a can of malted milk was 3.5 yuan, and there was a pack of Daqianmen. This was almost half a month's salary for an apprentice.
Gu Jianhua offered the gifts twice more, but Zhao Yi took the cigarettes and said he would not accept the other two gifts. Only then did he realize that Zhao Yi was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.
"Okay, the three people who repaired the radio yesterday afternoon will follow me and watch this morning. The other three will go to the repair table and do it. As always, be bold and careful. Ask questions whenever you encounter something you don't understand. Don't be embarrassed to ask if you don't understand."
Zhao Yi said after opening the door.
Afterwards, Zhang Jun, Gu Jianhua and another student happily walked to the shelf, picked up the unrepaired radios and began to disassemble them.
Everyone was a little clumsy when using these tools for the first time, but young people are quick to adapt. Yesterday, when the three trainees didn’t understand and asked questions, I didn’t see my master getting impatient, angry, or swearing at them.
So the three of them asked questions whenever they encountered something they didn't understand. The situation was much better than yesterday afternoon. After asking questions frequently, each of them repaired two radios in the morning. They were very happy and proud, and were also glad that they met a master who was willing to teach them real skills.
Gu Jianhua followed another student to the state-owned restaurant as soon as possible, and soon came back with the braised pork and tofu soup that the two students had bought yesterday.
Zhao Yi smiled and nodded. Eating this student's food and not that student's food would always make people have some thoughts in their minds, so he might as well eat it with a thick face.
Zhang Jun walked back to the dormitory as soon as it was time to get off work. He was responsible for the meals of all the students, and the task of cooking fell on him alone, so he did not join Zhao Yi in eating the braised pork.
Zhao Yi took out half of the dishes and sent them home. He waited at the door for a while before Zhang Jing came back. Zhao Yi handed the braised pork to Zhang Jing and then went back to the repair shop.
Zhao Yi found that the gifts he received from those who came to repair their televisions could be sold for ten dollars on the black market.
Those people were really generous, and the gift they gave was at least three dollars. This morning, there was a worker who was repairing a TV, and it was just his turn. In order to ask Zhao Yi to help work overtime, he also went to the department store to buy a bottle of good wine.
A week passed in this dull life.
During this period, the six students basically did not need Zhao Yi's guidance on repairing the radios. The home appliances sent by the Transportation Department for repair could basically be taken away at noon. There were also fewer people queuing up from the regions than before. With the help of the students, Zhao Yi had a lot more free time.
"You guys should go back to work. I see that you have learned the skills pretty well. You have also seen TV repairs many times. Go back to your own units and try to repair a TV yourself. If you can't fix it, send it here.
Remember what I said at work, be bold and careful, and have the courage to try. Being bad in itself, no matter how bad you are, you can't be that bad, and you don't need a hammer to help you smash it. ”
Zhao Yi looked at several students and said.
"Master, can we really do this?"
Several students looked at Zhao Yi in confusion.
"Have you needed my help fixing radios a lot these days?"
Zhao Yi looked at everyone and asked.
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. Basically, they didn't need Zhao Yi's help anymore. Now in his free time, Zhao Yi was teaching everyone the names of parts and reciting the parts prices stipulated by the department store, or chatting about other things.
"That's it. Repairing home appliances won't be a big problem as long as you are careful. I'll go to Director Li's office and tell him about your situation later."
After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he walked towards Director Li's office.
Several students looked at each other and we all saw excitement in each other's eyes. Who would believe that they had graduated so quickly? If they went to be apprentices in a factory, they would not be allowed to do any work themselves until they had spent a year doing odd jobs.
The department store has all kinds of radio parts and can repair whatever is broken.
If it's not car repair, you need to be a fitter and grind the necessary parts yourself. As for these electronic parts, Zhao Yi can't make them even if he is asked to do it.
It is really difficult to learn how to repair cars nowadays. Even if the master teaches you everything and lets you do everything, you can't learn it without three to five years. You have to polish almost all the parts by yourself, just like rubbing them by hand.
This is because the industry is not developed enough, and it is impossible to popularize so many auto parts.
Many times when a nut is broken, you have to rub it out yourself with a tap.
Zhao Yi walked into Director Li’s office.
Director Li saw that the person coming was Zhao Yi and pointed to the bench opposite.
"Master Zhao, what's the matter with you?"
Director Li looked down at the report for this period, as well as the number of votes for the model workers voted for by the public.
"Director Li, all my students have completed their training. They no longer have any problems repairing radios. As for TV repairs, it's almost the same. They have also watched it many times.
Television repair services are rarely available in county towns, so I told them that if it can be repaired, they can try to do it themselves, and if it cannot be repaired, they can send it to me.
They can no longer learn anything here, so it would be better for them to return to their units as soon as possible to serve the local workers. ”
Zhao Yi opened his mouth and explained his purpose.
“Is this too fast?”
Director Li looked at Zhao Yi and said.
What I mean is, Zhao Yi, don't joke around. It's only been a few days and you've already mass-produced six students.
"Director, if you are worried, you can take a look at the radios sent by the Transportation Department tomorrow morning. I will not interfere or say anything. You can watch them repair it."
Zhao Yi said.
"Master Zhao, it's not that I don't trust you, this is really a little surprising."
Director Li waved his hand, signaling Zhao Yi not to think too much.
"So I'll go over there this afternoon and if there are any radios that workers bring in for repair, I'll personally check them and repair them one by one. If there are any radios that don't make any mistakes, I'll get a letter of introduction from the General Affairs Department."
Director Li smiled.
Zhao Yi knew that this was also the students' graduation exam, and wondered if Director Li would be nervous around them.
"OK."
Zhao Yi nodded.
Sure enough, just after work started in the afternoon, two people came to repair the radio.
Zhao Yi asked Gu Jianhua and a student to start first, while he went outside the store, and Director Li supervised inside.
Director Li didn't say anything, nor did he say it was everyone's graduation exam. He just came over occasionally to check on them.
