Chapter 28 The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and it is a small day when it is opened
but.
Li Weidong is a man with a system of ten thousand times experience.
Repairing a car once is equivalent to repairing a car 10,000 times.
Driving once is equivalent to driving 10,000 times.
Can you fail the exam?
"Brother Yong, my father secretly taught me how to repair cars and drive. How about you let me try it?"
Niu Yong frowned.
Theory is one thing, practice is another.
If you don't have a few months of familiarity with driving a truck, you won't be able to get started at all.
However, Li Weidong just helped the team earn a lot of parts, and it doesn't seem to be the case if he doesn't let others try it.
He thought for a moment and nodded: "You are really a bit stubborn like your father.
Our team has a repair shop and a training ground.
If you can successfully pass the practical exercise, I will take you to take the exam tomorrow."
Li Weidong: "Seriously?"
Niu Yong: "Everyone in the rolling steel mill knows that I, Lao Niu, keep my word!"
Li Weidong stood up and was about to go to the repair shop, but was stopped by Niu Yong.
"Wait a minute, we'll talk about the actual operation later. First, draw a drawing on how to modify the water tank.
The repairmen in the workshop probably can't handle it, so I'll find a few masters to help."
If the water tank is renovated as soon as possible, it will be able to carry more loads as soon as possible. Lao Niu can't wait.
Of course, Li Weidong couldn't refuse this request, so he took a piece of straw paper and started drawing with a pen.
The drawings he drew were horizontal and vertical, with neat specifications and clear annotations, just like the drawings made by CAD in later generations.
Niu Meng watched for a while and then quietly slipped out.
After Li Weidong finished drawing, she came in with an enamel jar of tea: "Comrade Li Weidong, please have tea. I was negligent just now, and now I formally apologize to you."
Seeing the serious look on the little girl's face, Li Weidong took the enamel jar: "I accept your apology!"
Hey, the color of the water in the tank is wrong, it's amber.
Take a sip, it's very sweet.
Scream, put honey!
The little girl won’t poke the needle!
Niu Yong next to him also noticed it and curled his lips: "I want to drink too."
"Go and pour it yourself!" Niu Meng stared and clenched her fists, scaring Niu Yong's face with a smile on his face.
Li Weidong was very happy to see this exchange between the two.
These siblings are really interesting.
...
When Niu Zhen got the drawing, he was so happy that he ran out in a hurry, his fat overalls legs twisted into twists.
Li Weidong followed Niu Meng towards the repair shop.
As soon as he left the office, he stopped and asked curiously: "Comrade Niu Meng, you are a girl, why do you want to come to the motorcade?"
It's not that he looks down on lesbians.
In this era, female comrades hold up half the sky. There are female comrades in every workshop in the factory. They work vigorously and even harder than male comrades.
It’s just that the business of running big cars is too special.
In this era, running a large car requires two drivers, one is the driver and the other is the assistant.
Sometimes the journey is long and you need to make do with a night in the wilderness.
Not suitable for a big girl.
Niu Meng also knew his concerns, lowered his head and whispered: "I eat more, and truck drivers earn more."
Eat more?
Li Weidong glanced sideways at Niu Meng.
He's 1.6 meters tall, has a thin build, and doesn't look like he's very capable of eating.
It is not easy to inquire about the privacy of lesbians.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Weidong also learned that Niu Meng joined the team half a year ago.
Her master is Niu Zhen, and he has obtained the Daizu Certificate.
The fleet has sixteen trucks, twenty-one official drivers, and more than thirty assistants.
There are five repairmen and two dispatchers.
The fleet is under the management of the Logistics Department, and the team leader Niu Zhen is a section-level cadre.
However, my father once said that Captain Niu joined the team after retiring from the army and was not a demobilized cadre, so he should be working on a job basis.
Niu Meng was chirping along the way, like a happy little swallow.
Seeing that Li Weidong didn't seem to know much about the situation in the steel rolling mill, she took the initiative to introduce it.
The steel rolling mill was formerly the Daxing Steel Rolling Mill in Loubancheng. After liberation, it was state-owned and merged with several small factories to establish the third steel rolling mill, which is a department-level unit.
There is a train track in the factory area entering from the east gate and crossing the factory. Small trains transport steel raw materials in every day.
There are forty or fifty various workshops, with the number of workers in each workshop ranging from 300 to 500.
There are management cadres such as workshop director, deputy director, branch trade union chairman, etc.
The factory has a complete organization, including the logistics department, factory office, power department, publicity department, material department, security department, etc.
The factory is self-sufficient in everything, including a staff hospital and children's school, with schools ranging from the first grade of elementary school to high school.
Affiliated units include a non-staple food factory, a tool factory, a labor insurance factory, and a hospital.
It can be said that from birth to death, the steel rolling mill can provide you with everything.
There are more than 20,000 workers in the steel rolling mill, and the number of workers including their families is estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000, which is comparable to the population of a small town.
...
While chatting, the two came to the repair shop.
The workshop is a single-story tile-roofed building. The blue brick walls are stained with black oil and shine with colorful brilliance under the sunlight.
The workshop was dimly lit, and as soon as I entered, I saw a dozen flickering red dots forming a circle.
In the center of the red dot, white smoke billows out, just like an incense burner in a temple.
Li Weidong's eyes widened. Who else dares to engage in feudal superstition in the factory?
The eyes gradually use dim environments and the pupils gradually shrink.
Li Weidong was speechless for a moment.
This isn't an incense burner. It's clearly a group of old drivers chatting together.
The incense burner in Rizhao produces purple smoke, and it lasts for a day as soon as it is turned on.
Those who drive these days are all heavy smokers.
First, the driver's salary is high and he can afford it.
Secondly, driving on the road requires high concentration, and smoking can relieve tension.
…
The veteran drivers gathered here because they heard that Li Weidong was about to take the driver's license test as soon as he joined the team, and they all came to see what was strange.
Hearing the footsteps, they stood up one after another, and three of them strode towards Li Weidong.
"Uncle Bai, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liu, why are you here?"
They have all been my father's good friends for many years.
The three old drivers with dark faces and gray hair looked at Li Weidong happily.
"I just came back from the car and heard that your boy has joined the team. Brother Zhen is no longer here, so we old brothers have to help you maintain the scene no matter what."
"I just heard from the repairman Zhang that you taught those two cans of highland barley wine a lesson in front of everyone. Brother Zhen would be so happy if he could see it."
"Ahem, today is my child's happy day, why are you talking about this!"
While chatting, an excited voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the factory area.
"Good news, good news. Today I would like to commend Comrade Li Weidong of our factory team."
"As soon as he joined the team, he successfully solved several car problems and got five boxes of spare parts from the FAW factory."
"In order to reward Comrade Li Weidong, the factory office has specially approved fifty kilograms of national food stamps. I hope Comrade Li Weidong can guard against arrogance and impetuosity and continue to contribute to the great construction of the motherland."
Fifty kilograms of food stamps, this was indeed a lot of reward, and the three uncles suddenly widened their eyes.
Li Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly reported his merits, not forgetting to get benefits for his subordinates. This Niu Yong is also a good person.
In the joyful atmosphere, he didn't notice that Niu Meng's eyes turned green.
