Chapter 10 The Silly Pillar Who Eats Alone

Inside the first workshop.

Silly Zhu was startled by the sudden intruder. When he saw the appearance of the intruder, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Jia Xudong, you must have done this on purpose!"

"I, I, I was joking just now." Jia Xudong seemed a little afraid of Silly Zhu. He laughed twice and wandered out of the workshop as if nothing had happened.

Silly Zhu looked at Jia Xudong's back and spat, "Bah, Qin Huairu is as beautiful as a flower. It's a waste to marry such a weakling."

Li Donglai was installing the spring. His fingers paused and the spring slowly contracted.

He lowered his head and quickly installed it again.

Guo Daqianzi flattered Silly Zhu: "That's right, Jia Xudong is a waste. He has been in our steel rolling mill for nearly five years and is still only a first-level fitter. Every year in the technical competition, he is ranked last in the whole factory.

Our No. 1 workshop is the benchmark workshop of the steel rolling mill. If it weren’t for Yi Zhonghai’s protection, Liu Mingyi would have kicked him out of the No. 1 workshop.”

"Master Yi and Jia Xudong's father worked together in the past, and they had a deep relationship, so they accepted Jia Xudong as their apprentice." Silly Zhu didn't want others to say bad things about the master.

...

It seems that Qin Huairu, a city husband, is not only a mama's boy, but is also not popular among his co-workers.

But this seems to have nothing to do with me. The most important thing for me now is to take root in the capital and raise my sister.

Li Donglai, who calmed down and felt at ease, was very nimble with his hands and feet and assembled it in a matter of seconds.

"Okay, these materials are only enough to make three animal traps." He stood up and hesitated.

The animal trap is a metal object forged from a steel plate, similar in appearance to a mouse trap. There is a shining steel nail in the center, connected by a buckle and a spring. Just place the animal trap in the grass and place it inside.

If you put food on it, your legs will be pinched by wild wolves passing by.

Looking at the animal trap on the workbench, Li Donglai shook his head.

The materials provided by Guo Dapizi are not suitable. A real animal trap can break the legs of a wild wolf.

"Let me see!" Silly Zhu opened the trap, found a steel rod and stretched it under the trap, gently touching the mechanism.

"Crack! Dang!"

The cold light flickered, and Shazhu took a step back in fright. He pulled out the steel rod, and there was a crater on it.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Hey, this mouse trap is too powerful!"

These words made Guo Daqianzi confused: "Master He, didn't you say this was for catching rabbits? How come it turned into a mousetrap?"

Silly Zhu realized that he had exposed his mouth, and was too lazy to explain. His eyes widened and he quibbled: "Can't you catch rabbits if you catch mice?"

"Do you still want to eat rabbit meat?"

"I think..." Guo Daqianzi also realized that he had been fooled, but there was nothing he could do about this gangster.

It can only be regarded as a wasted effort.

...

After leaving the workshop, Li Donglai and Shazhu stood by the flower bed.

Before Li Donglai could speak, Shazhu sneered and said: "Brother Donglai, give me all three mousetraps, and I promise to share the mice I catch with you."

"It's okay. You came up with this idea anyway. I'll help you. If you earn money in the future, just remember to treat me to a drink." Li Donglai also saw through it. This bastard had no intention of giving the rat to him.

Instead of arguing with him, it's better to be a favor and earn more food during lunch.

Over time, it adds up to a considerable amount of money.

Li Donglai could only hold back this breath.

There is no way, the situation is pressing, and you must be careful before you officially become a regular employee.

From Li Dong's point of view, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is a small society with all kinds of people and intricate networks of relationships.

Take the cook in front of me as an example. He relies on his good cooking skills to be able to talk to the factory leaders.

If he has bad intentions, he can cause huge trouble to himself, who is just a little 'intern', just by talking.

The experience in his previous life told Li Donglai that the king of hell is easy to meet but the devil is difficult to deal with.

This cook is just a standard brat.

Forget it, endure for a while and the sky will be brighter, even if it is not for yourself, you must also think about your sister.

Li Donglai felt that he was becoming more and more like Ah Q.

...

"Brother Donglai, you are such a loyal guy and so good at getting along!" Silly Zhu gave a thumbs up with joy and ran towards the courtyard with the mousetrap in his arms.

The earlier you catch the mouse, the earlier you can claim the bounty.

...

As soon as Shazhu walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he met Yan Bugui who was about to teach.

Yan Bugui is a Chinese teacher at Hongxing Primary School. There is a cafeteria in the school, but Yan Bugui goes home to eat at noon every day. Because he does not eat at school, the school will issue 1 tael of national food stamps as a meal supplement every day.

National food stamps contain oil, and 1 tael of national food stamps can be exchanged for 1.2 taels of local food stamps.

Yan Bugui saw Shazhu rushing forward with his head lowered, holding a shiny black thing in his arms, and his heart moved: "Yuzhu, let the third uncle see what you have in your arms."

"Look? I saw the look in your eyes, I'm afraid I can't pull it out!" Silly Zhu hugged him tighter subconsciously, "I tell you, this is the guy who makes money for me."

"Make money?" Yan Bugui's eyes lit up and he quickly followed behind Sha Zhu: "What's the way to make money? How about bringing the third uncle with you?"

Yan Bugui's life was very difficult. The six members of his family depended on his salary of 21.5 yuan per month, even for a grain of rice.

"Take you?" Silly Zhu shook his head violently, "Third uncle, you are too smart, I won't play with you."

Silly Zhu's words made Yan Bugui so angry that he almost dropped his plastic glasses.

The shit-stirring stick in this compound is really disgusting when it comes to angry words.

Breaking through the third uncle's interception, Silly Zhu got into the house and placed the mouse traps in the cupboard, under the bed, on the window sill, and placed a few moldy peanuts among the mouse traps.

Of course, these peanuts are also picked out from the mouths of factory leaders.

Oh, these mice are so cheap!

Now just waiting to count the money! Silly Zhu happily left the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

...

In the steel rolling mill hospital, Li Donglai did not feel depressed because of Sha Zhu's betrayal, but was overjoyed from ear to ear.

Because under the strong suggestion of his master, he was finally able to sit in the clinic.

The earlier you sit in for a consultation, the earlier you can pass your probation period, and the earlier you can receive your salary.

Li Donglai is now strapped for money and still owes Ding Qiunan 1 yuan and 1 catty of meal stamps.

Well, it seems that my licking skills are pretty good and I made the master happy.

Ding Qiunan looked at the happy Li Donglai and felt helpless.

According to her idea, Li Donglai should study for a while with her help.

However, Dr. Hu from the Department of Internal Medicine is pregnant. This is her fourth child, so she takes three days off.

With one doctor missing, all the doctors in the internal medicine clinic were overwhelmed. Dr. Jiao was so anxious that one doctor was left unused.

However, Ding Qiunan was a good master and decided to supervise Li Donglai personally to prevent him from making mistakes.

With Ding Qiunan by his side, Li Donglai didn't dare to use the Barefoot Doctor system at all, and could only treat patients honestly according to the medical books.

One afternoon, five had diarrhea and three had colds.

The most serious one was a worker in his thirties. He first had chills and then fever, his complexion was red and yellow, there was no trace of blood at the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was weak.

Without thinking too much, Li Donglai knew that he had malaria.

Malaria, also known as malaria, is a common disease in this era. It is mainly spread by mosquitoes. Severe cases can be fatal. Western medicine mostly uses quinine, and traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses Artemisia annua.

Seeing that the uncle welder's condition was not serious, Li Donglai wrote out a prescription: "5-10 grams of Artemisia annua, 5-10 grams of Scutellaria baicalensis, 5 grams of Anemarrhena, 5 grams of Cao Guo, 10 grams of Pinellia ternata..."

Well, Artemisia annua is the source plant of artemisinin in later generations.

...

Ding Qiunan looked on and nodded frequently.

The diagnosis is accurate and the medicine is just right. This young man has a bright future.

Should we take the initiative?

this is a big problem.
