Dinner was at Xiang Beifang’s house, an authentic Sijucheng delicacy, fried noodles with soybean paste.
Dry yellow sauce, sweet noodle sauce, deep-fried meat sauce, egg hand-made noodles, the main dishes are cucumber shreds, bean sprouts, Xinmei shredded radish, garlic, delicious!
Aunt Cui is a slightly fat middle-aged woman with a kind face and glasses. She is a level 5 clerk in the factory office. Her salary is 49.5 yuan, which is quite high.
Aunt Cui has a very gentle temperament, a good temper, and doesn't talk much, but she is by no means a mediocre person. A widow can work as a fifth-level clerk in a factory. Even if she has a foothold, she is definitely not an ordinary person.
Aunt Cui is happy to see Beifang making friends with Xiao Du and Huaihai.
They are all good children, and all of them are promising, especially Xiao Du. Although he has lost his parents, he is still the toughest. If nothing happens to Lao Du, he will survive for a few more years.
Xiao Du can gain a firm foothold in the army, and relying on the old Du family's foothold in the army, his future is limitless. After all, there are people and favors.
But even now, Xiao Du still has a bright future. By the end of next year at the latest, he will be the deputy section chief.
22 or 23 years old, an 18th-level cadre, with a salary of 87.5 yuan, which is really incredible.
Don't say that Aunt Cui is practical and utilitarian. Living in the real world, everyone is practical and utilitarian. This has been the case since ancient times.
As the saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor in the city, you have no one to care about.
The next day was a rainy day. It started raining at midnight, and it was quite heavy.
Comrade Xiao Du put on his raincoat and boots early in the morning and went back to the courtyard. He was a little worried about his new house.
When I got to the yard, I saw, hey, the house has been tiled. When I entered the house, there was not a drop of water. It was dry and transparent. Xiao Du was extremely satisfied.
Although the ground has not yet been made into terrazzo, the walls have not been whitewashed or painted, there is no suspended ceiling, and the doors and windows only have frames, the upper and lower drains and the layout of the house have been allocated.
The front and back are transparent, the lighting is good, and it looks very refreshing.
Just as he was looking at the house, Yin Laoliu ran in wearing a big poncho.
"Hey, Leader Du, are you here?"
"Master Yin, it's raining heavily, why did you come here?"
"Last night, I saw that it was going to rain, so I quickly sealed the roof. I was worried about the leakage, and most importantly, I was afraid that the drain would back up, so I hadn't raised the height yet."
"Hey, this is your craft, I've seen it all, and there's nothing wrong with it."
Comrade Xiao Du gestured with his thumbs.
"We just need this bowl of rice, and the wages and materials you gave us are sufficient. We must be careful. You haven't seen the furniture Lao Cui made. It took a lot of effort."
"Really? I didn't even see the furniture?"
"The furniture has been painted now, and it has a bit of a smell when it is left to dry. Aren't we afraid of disturbing other people in the courtyard? They are all hanging in the yard of Carpenter Cui's house. He has a shed in the yard, so he is not afraid of rain."
"Come on, you have taken the trouble. When the house is repaired, I will treat you to a nice meal."
"Hahaha, just lift it up."
"Master Yin, you haven't eaten yet. Why don't we have breakfast together?"
"Leader Du, I really ate it today. You can go alone. I'll set up a sewer platform today to prevent backflow."
"Okay, if you're tired, I'll leave first."
On a rainy day, there was no one in the breakfast shop. Xiao Du had breakfast, returned to his residence, changed into work clothes, put on his raincoat and rain boots, and rode to the steel rolling mill.
The rain is getting heavier and the water is getting deeper. Since many of the wires in the factory are exposed, there is a strong safety hazard. This is not the future, and the wires are very rough.
Although Comrade Xiao Du works the night shift, he still takes the initiative to help in the factory. Comrade Xiao Du still has this ideological awareness. After all, we are also party members.
When we arrived at the south gate of the factory, we met Wang Xiao. He had just finished get off work and had a meal before rushing back to work overtime on his own initiative. They are all good comrades.
First, I went to the Equipment Department to pick up rubber gloves. These are a must-have, a life-saving tool on rainy days, no joke.
At this moment, Section Chief Hao has gathered everyone except those on duty at the door. There are a total of 38 people in the 3 departments, 31 people in total. Everyone has a very collective consciousness.
After the security department and the electrician team gathered together, they began to check each line. All workshops were powered off. On such a rainy day, a short circuit would be very troublesome and dangerous.
The investigation continued from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock. At this time, the rain had subsided and the entire workshop started to be powered on.
Even so, a leakage of electricity still occurred in the Western District's blacksmithing workshop, and a worker died on the spot.
This can be regarded as a major production safety accident. The responsible electrical engineering department, electrical engineering class, electrical engineering team, and those responsible for the investigation will all be investigated and punished.
Fortunately for the Southern District, after completing the investigation, everything went smoothly, there was no leakage of electricity, and the Security Department did not take a break, so they quickly assisted the Logistics Department in draining water and clearing out silt.
While Comrade Xiao Du was working, he actually saw Huang Guilin, who might have just reported for duty today. He was wearing a men's raincoat and rubber gloves and was helping to drain water outside the logistics warehouse.
When Xiao Du saw her working hard in the water, he was instantly furious. He reached out and picked her up. Without any explanation, he dragged her to a dry place at the door of the warehouse.
It's better to say he was lifted than pulled. Comrade Xiao Du was very strong, far beyond ordinary people. When he was furious, he failed to control his strength well.
Other workers and colleagues in the security department were stunned.
What's going on? Comrade Xiao Du has been at work for about 10 days, and he is always polite to his colleagues in the factory.
what is it today?
"Are you out of your mind? Where is the person in charge of this warehouse? Come forward!"
Xiao Du broke out and roared loudly. Huang Guilan stood there in a daze, with her entire left arm unable to feel. After being yelled by Xiao Du, her brain went blank.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat, rain boots and glasses ran over.
"Director Du, I am Zhou Ting'an, the custodian of this warehouse. What instructions do you have?"
"Zhou Ting'an, Huang Guilan is the warehouse coordinator and is assigned to you. You are her direct person in charge, right?"
"Yes, Huang Guilan is a newcomer who just came to report today. Director Du, what did she do wrong?"
"Look at her feet. She's wearing cloth shoes. If she steps in the water, are you responsible for electrocuting her to death? Where are her rain boots?"
"Ah, ah! I'm sorry, Director Du. I was busy distributing rainproof supplies just now. I was a little busy and forgot to distribute them to her."
"Hurry up and find your rain boots, why bother!"
Zhou Tingan ran away quickly.
At this time, Du Weiguo shouted to his colleagues in the security department: "Brothers, stop working now and start checking immediately. Anyone without rain boots or rubber gloves will be screened out immediately!"
"Yes, everyone knows the priorities and understands that this is a big deal, so they quickly went to work in groups to investigate."
"Huang Guilan, you are out of your mind. If you don't wear rain boots, if there is a power leak, everyone will die on the spot. All four children in your family will starve to death."
"Director Du, I was wrong. I'm sorry, I don't understand this."
"Didn't you study?"
"The previous schools in the village were just about reading and counting, but they didn't teach these things."
"Then when you have time in the future, learn more common sense. This is very dangerous and can really kill you."
"I, I understand."
"Okay, wait until you put on your rain boots while you work. Remember, your body cannot be directly exposed to standing water, neither your hands, arms, nor feet."
"Well, I, I understand."
Huang Guilan was already crying. Although her left arm hurt terribly from where Xiao Du had just pinched her, her heart was extremely warm and even boiling.
He cared about me, and even in Huang Guilan's simple understanding, Du Weiguo saved her life again.
