When they arrived at the mine, many villagers had already arrived at the mine after breakfast. They were all there, gathering in twos and threes, waiting for the time to go down to the mine.

These villagers are all workers who work in the wells. Now, Zhang Guoquan is also a worker.

When someone saw Zhang Guoquan, they shouted: "Guo Quan, it's Guo Quan who is here."

"Hey, hey, I don't want to call you Guoquan now, I have to call you squad leader Zhang."

"Yes, monitor Zhang."

The sudden change of title made Zhang Guoquan a little uncomfortable for a moment, and he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's better to call him Guoquan."

"Well, that's fine. It's what it is. There are rules in this mine. If we don't shout, Mine Manager Wei won't do it."

"Is that so? Then when you go to work, you can just call the squad leader. As for when it's time to leave work, you still call Guoquan. Also, although you said that the working time is not too long, you still have more time than me anyway.

Experience is in the well, and I still have to learn from you."

"Hey, the monitor is so humble. You are so smart, but you can't figure it out just by looking at it."

Liangzi stretched out his hand and signaled: "Okay, okay, don't make fun of Guoquan anymore. Let's get ready and go down the mine quickly. I don't know that mine manager Wei gave us a fatal order. We must complete the production of 120 tons of coal in one and a half months."

quantity."

As the squad leader, Zhang Guoquan was also preparing to follow the workers into the cages and down the well. He first went to the material room to get a headlamp and a safety helmet.

There is a dedicated person inside who is responsible for distributing it, and it must be returned when work is over. There is a clear stipulation on the wall that if it is not a fault of the material itself, but is damaged by man, compensation will be based on the price.

Zhang Guoquan was holding the miner's lamp and safety helmet and was about to leave. He lowered his head and glanced at the clothes he was wearing. He then glanced at the workers in front of him. When he arrived, Baige specially put on a clean cotton coat for him. He was afraid that he would be cold.

It would be better if it was drier.

They are different from other workers, who all wear dirty old cotton-padded clothes, all black, some are patched, and some have holes in them.

Zhang Guoquan called to the workers in front to stop.

"What's wrong, monitor?"

"Wear your overalls before going down."

"Working clothes? What are working clothes?"

Zhang Guoquan frowned. He originally thought that workers didn't wear work clothes because they felt uncomfortable wearing them. He was used to wearing cotton-padded clothes and it would save trouble if he could.

As a squad leader, he must strictly implement the system, so wearing work clothes is necessary. He does not need to dirty his cotton-padded clothes. Putting on work clothes, his energy is different.

Looking at the workers' reaction now, it's not that they don't want to wear them, it's that there are simply no work clothes for them to wear.

Zhang Guoquan bent over and looked at the material room. There was a young man inside.

"Hey, that master, we don't have any work clothes?"

"Work clothes?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "No, no."

"Okay, thank you, master."

"Squad leader, let's go. Wear any work clothes, just this one. Don't wear something so clean next time. You'll get dirty underneath. Just wear old clothes from home."

Zhang Guoquan nodded and followed the others to the cage area to prepare to line up to go down the well.

As the squad leader, a group of workers put him in front.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cage, he stopped and said, "Well, you go down into the well first. Brother Liangzi will wait for me here while I go to find Mine Manager Wei."

The worker didn't know why Zhang Guoquan suddenly asked Mine Manager Wei. He thought that this was Zhang Guoquan's first time going down the mine, and he should explain it to the mine manager.

A group of workers entered the cage first, while Zhang Guoquan went to the mine director's office and knocked on the door several times.

"Who is it?" Wei Guangming asked inside.

"Director Wei, it's me, Zhang Guoquan."

When the door opened, Wei Guangming hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it: "Oh, Guoquan, you're here. You didn't tell me in advance so I could give you a welcome ceremony and so on."

"Mr. Wei, you don't need to be so polite. I'm here to work, so just treat me as an ordinary worker."

"Hey, you still have a sense of what you say, unlike those workers who are more active than anyone else when they get off work. If they are asked to work overtime, it will be a hundred reluctances, and it will be all for you the next day.

I'm so lazy that I won't do a good job for you."

"Mine Manager Wei, don't worry, as the squad leader, I will manage it well."

"Hey, if I hadn't said that you should have come a long time ago, the previous grudges would have been wiped out. We are all adults. No one should hold grudges. From now on, you will be your squad leader and manage the No. 1 mining area well to produce more coal.

Let’s take Yangjiazhuang Mining Area to a higher level.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. As the squad leader, you must take care of it for me below. Fight for it, oh, no, it is necessary. In one and a half months, the No. 1 mining area plus the No. 2 mining area must produce one for me.

One hundred and twenty tons of coal, this is a death order."

"What? Is there anything else?" Wei Guangming looked at Zhang Guoquan, who was unmoved, and felt that what he said had been in place. What was left should not be Zhang Guoquan, the squad leader, patted his chest and promised, and then immediately

Put it into production.

"Director Wei, regarding the output value of 120 tons, I will definitely urge it to be completed."

"Then what are you talking about? I'll just thank you here. Okay, you can go down into the well immediately. We have time to have a good chat."

"I came here just to talk to you."

"Oh?" Wei Guangming frowned: "Now is not the time for chatting. Every minute and every second is precious. You don't know that the output given to me by the county is limited and must be completed."

"It's just a matter of one sentence, and I'll leave after I finish speaking."

"That's okay, you say."

"I think we workers all wear our own clothes. Don't we even have regular work clothes in our mine?"

"Work clothes? Hey, why do you need those things? It's so comfortable to wear your own clothes."

"Miner Wei, that's not what you're saying. This is a mine. There is strenuous and sweaty work underground. Not to mention soiling your clothes, it also shows that our mine is not formal. Therefore, I think work clothes are still necessary.

, see if the mine customizes two sets for each person."

Mine Manager Wei shook his head up and down: "You read this from a book, right?"

Zhang Guoquan did not deny it. Wei Guangming said: "Okay, you are right to say that. As a squad leader, you not only have to manage the subordinates well, but it is also your duty as a squad leader to put forward your own suggestions for the entire unreasonable work of the mine.

, I promise you to get uniform work clothes for the workers as soon as possible."

Zhang Guoquan nodded slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.

Wei Guangming stopped him again: "Guoquan, I have a set of my own work clothes in my office. They are made in a big size and are just right for you to wear. I'll give them to you."

"No, I have to wear it with everyone else. I can't be an exception."

Wei Guangming shook his head as he watched Zhang Guoquan leave, closed the door, sat on his chair, and muttered.

"It's really a piece of shit. It's worth coming to me specifically for a little bit of trouble, just to clean up the useless ones."

When Zhang Guoquan came to the tank, all the workers had already gone down the well one after another, and Liangzi was waiting for him in front of the tank.

Seeing him coming, he quickly pulled up the iron curtain and said, "Guoquan, come in."

Zhang Guoquan walked in.

With a "crash", Liangzi put down the iron curtain, pointed at the buttons inside, and told Zhang Guoquan which was the up button and which was the down button.

Zhang Guoquan looked at each one a few times, and it was easy to remember. It had rising and falling indicators. He had seen it in the book given by Principal Tang.

As the cage slowly descended, Zhang Guoquan was mentally prepared in advance. Of course, he still felt weightless, but he was obviously less nervous this time than the last time he went down the well.

Liangzi asked: "Guoquan, what are you doing with Mine Manager Wei?"

"Let him customize two sets of work clothes for us. He always wears his own clothes. It doesn't look like he is working."

"He agreed to this?"

"I agreed. It's a reasonable request. There's no need for him to refuse to agree. It's not like throwing money away. This is also for the sake of the image of our mine."

"Look, you dared to make a request to Mine Manager Wei as soon as you came here, and he agreed. If workers like us asked him for such a request, he wouldn't even take a look at it. He might even think that we have too many things to do. Indeed,

, It’s not like wearing your own clothes all the time. After leaving the mine, it’s like running away. Besides, how many clothes do you have at home? It’s worth destroying like this.”

"It's okay. If we have any requests in the future, as long as they are reasonable, we can make them. We can protect our own rights and interests normally. As long as we tell him properly, it won't be a big problem."

Liangzi nodded and said with a sigh: "You are here at the right time. At least you don't have to swallow your silence anymore."
