Chapter 225 He Yuxiang's Treat
"The No. 3 furnace has just produced a batch of steel, and the scrap steel tank must be cleared!" The night shift leader patted the work log and shouted, "There is a batch of scrap in the east area of the material yard. The copper content is high and it must be sorted separately!"
He named a group of people.
This includes Chen Qing.
Director Ma hesitated to speak.
Even colleagues in the scrap steel department couldn’t stand it anymore: “The scrap steel troughs are needed urgently, and colleague Chen has just started working.”
The night shift leader yelled in dissatisfaction: "It's been a week, Comrade Chen, can't you adapt?"
"Let's go."
Chen Qing followed and helped.
The scrap steel was scorching hot, and when Chen Qing got in to process it, he felt like his whole body was being burned.
The people in the scrap steel department operated the operation skillfully. Chen Qing followed suit and used a pneumatic pick to break up the blocked slag blocks as required. The vibration made her palms feel like they were going to crack.
After it was smashed, Chen Qing followed the large team and carried the still warm debris by hand.
Fortunately, the machinery factory provided three pairs of gloves for the workers to wear during this process, otherwise her hands would have been disabled.
As everyone knows, Chen Qing did not delay everyone's progress and was busy until dawn. She felt so tired that she could sleep for three days and three nights.
The night shift leader observed Chen Qing's every move and saw that she learned quickly and worked no slower than the male comrades. She said nothing and did not ask the male comrades for help, which made him not know where to find fault.
"Workers Have Power" was played in the machinery factory.
The day shift is coming.
Chen Qing looked up and sighed, finally making it through.
She returned the gloves given by the organization, and then walked towards the entrance of the machinery factory wearing the gloves given to her by her colleagues.
I was too tired and didn’t get to be the first one to leave work.
Chen Qing walked slowly back home. There was a meal prepared by He Yuan for her at home. It was a big bowl full of fish, meat, and a bowl of pork rib soup.
Xiaoyu burst into tears: "I want to work for my aunt."
Chen Qing smiled at her and said, "Your aunt is not that fragile, and many people in the scrap steel department are doing this, so just get used to it."
Xiaoyu couldn't control her urge to cry.
He Yuxiang had never seen her so tired before, his eyes were slightly moist: "Why don't you sell your job? It would be nice to go home and sew clothes."
"I'm grateful for your concern, and I'm very happy." In her previous life, Chen Qing often stayed up late and came home empty. She would feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness, confusion, and exhaustion. But today, when she returned home, she had food, soup, and two little ones to care for. That was enough.
"It's time for you to go to school. Go to school quickly. I'm going to eat, take a shower and go to bed later."
He Yuxiang took his sister to school.
Chen Qing ate slowly, then took a shower, sat on the swing and waited for his hair to dry, but he fell asleep as soon as he sat down.
He Yuan came back at noon and saw her sleeping on the swing. He picked her up and took her back to the room to sleep. Chen Qing opened her eyes drowsily, saw the familiar person, and continued to fall asleep peacefully.
He Yuan put her on the bed and covered her with a thin quilt. He noticed that her hands were covered with blisters and his heart suddenly ached.
I went to the machinery factory hospital to get some medicine, and bought gentian violet, half a roll of gauze, and tweezers. Now Chen Qing is sleeping, so I can only wait until I get off work in the afternoon to treat her.
When he returned to the courtyard in the afternoon, Chen Qing had already woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze.
The sudden change in her schedule made her mind a little confused.
He Yuan came up to her, took out the prepared medicine and treated her blisters. He felt sad at heart, but couldn't find the words to comfort her, so he just made his movements extremely gentle.
When the tip of his tweezers touched the largest blister, Chen Qing shrank unconsciously and his mind became clear.
She wanted to scream out in pain, but Xiaoyu was standing at the door, looking at her with tears in her eyes, so she had no choice but to endure it.
When He Yuan applied the purple medicine on her, she made a claw-stretching expression to Xiao Yu: "Look, Auntie has a new claw."
Xiaoyu burst into tears.
He Yuan put down the tweezers to coax her, picked her up and patted her back: "What's wrong? Don't cry, your aunt is teasing you on purpose."
Chen Qing quickly said, "Yes, if you're afraid I won't play like that."
Her little Yu was very brave and just wanted to tease her, without considering the child's fear of dark colors.
Xiaoyu cried and sobbed: "I don't like the machinery factory anymore. I hate the machinery factory. They are bad. They bully my aunt. I hate them."
Chen Qing's heart was about to break. He came to her and said softly, "My aunt works in a machinery factory, just like you strive for first place in labor class. Although it looks very hard, if you want to get good grades, you have to work hard, so it's not a miserable thing."
Xiaoyu thought about the labor lesson, and then looked at her aunt smiling at her tenderly, and asked with a sob, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"That aunt is awesome!"
"Okay, I'm awesome." Chen Qing was amused by her: "You're awesome too."
Xiaoyu lay on her uncle's shoulder and smiled at her.
He Yuxiang watched silently, and magically felt that their family seemed to be becoming more and more complete: "I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy food today, come and eat."
Chen Qing was shocked.
The miser laid eggs?
"Why are you so generous?"
He Yuxiang's face turned black: "I don't want you two to die of exhaustion. It's up to you whether to eat or not."
“Eat, eat, eat.”
The three of them hurried to the dining table.
Comrade He Yuxiang spent a lot of money today and actually bought pork with preserved vegetables and beef with mixed mushrooms. Both dishes cost two dollars and fifty cents!
Chen Qing enjoyed the meal very much.
Because three people were picking food for her.
Chen Qing was full and seeing that He Yuan didn't look very happy, he came to him and comforted him, "Okay, okay, don't be sad."
He Yuan stood up and hugged her gently, saying, "It will be over soon."
Chen Qing nodded: "Yes."
Once her body adapts, she will be able to return to normal. At least the blisters on her hands will turn into calluses.
"So don't worry, I'm really good at adapting."
"you are awesome."
"You too, thank you for your hard work working overtime." Chen Qing said softly.
He Yuan held her for a while before letting go and said to her, "I'll pick you up to go to work in the evening."
"good."
The two walked outside.
Xiaoyu saw that her uncle and aunt were very tired from work, so she asked her brother: "When can we take over the job from uncle and aunt?"
"You pass the technical secondary school entrance exam and try to get a temporary job at the machinery factory." He Yuxiang tapped his sister on the head: "Did you sneakily eat pancakes today?"
Xiaoyu covered her mouth: "No."
Her eyes rolled around.
Didn't you rinse your mouth?
Why did my brother find out?
He Yuxiang said faintly: "He Yuting, if you keep eating things that make you angry, I will tell my aunt that you raise snakes."
"No!" Xiaoyu quickly stopped him: "I don't want to eat it anymore."
He Yuxiang snorted coldly: "That's better."
It’s all Maomao’s fault. He knew Xiaoyu liked delicious and crispy things, so he always bought them for her.
Seeing his sister looking listless, He Yuxiang didn't try to comfort her, but reminded her, "You haven't finished your homework yet, go and do it quickly."
"Oh." Xiaoyu took out her homework from her schoolbag and put it on the dining table to do her homework.
Chen Qing turned on the light for her and wondered whether he should buy desks for the two children to make it convenient for them to study.
