"I won't teach anymore. I won't take any apprentices from now on. They say that teaching an apprentice will starve the master to death. I had no choice but to take apprentices because the factory had a strict requirement. Now that He Xiaotuan has joined the factory, why should I train him as a rival if I don't pass on my skills to him?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Taozhi felt like she was being cheated. "Then the electrician grading system doesn't look at who's ranked higher in the factory or who's valued by the master. It's just based on the level of pay. Besides, there's no such thing as grading anymore. Everyone gets the same salary. If you take on more apprentices, your work will be easier in the future."
He muttered nonchalantly, "You don't understand. When I was learning my trade, I served tea and water to my master and his wife, cleaned toilets, and waited on them for three years before I learned the real skills... Apprentices nowadays don't respect their teachers. They think they can learn by paying a little money. No way! What do you think of me?"
After all, he was feeling aggrieved.
Why can others learn the skills so easily that I had to suffer so much in the past?
Wang Taozhi glared at him. Couldn’t she see through his little thoughts?
"Times have changed. You didn't learn for three years, only two and a half at most. Besides, your master didn't find you a job, did he? You should do more work."
I think your team leader's skills are not as good as yours. You should show off more in front of the leaders, give guidance to the newcomers, and gain a good reputation as a friendly comrade. Next time, you might even be the team leader. A few extra dollars a month to supplement your meat consumption will be great!
He Chunsheng's temper flared up, and he firmly disagreed. "I can't do flattery just for a few dollars."
Wang Taozhi tugged on his arm and twisted it. "A few dollars? He Chunsheng, from the way you sound, you seem to be quite extravagant lately. You wouldn't even be bothered by a few dollars!"
She grabbed his collar and dragged him back to the room, her hands groping in the pockets of his old work clothes. "I'm wondering why I keep smelling cigarettes on you these past few days. Tell me the truth, where did you get the money and tickets to buy cigarettes? How much private money did you hide?"
"No, I went to the machine repair shop to help out a few days ago, and someone gave me two. Don't bother looking at me. It's so broken, where can I hide the money? Help me fix it later."
"No, you are capable, don't you? Go get your own needle and thread!"
Seeing that her elder brother was about to get into trouble, He Ruixue prayed silently for him and went back to the house.
He Xiaotuan realized that something was wrong and had already sneaked away with his wife, leaving only the two little ones. They poked their heads out from behind the dining table, opened their big round eyes, and looked towards the master bedroom with curiosity.
I'm afraid it's a sign of getting beaten.
He Xiaojie sighed and sent them to bed.
