Watching Xiao Dongping leave, Qin Hai asked Ning Mo and the others worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, Lao Xiao drinks a lot." Ning Mo said disapprovingly, "Those who are engaged in supply and marketing are the ones who hang out at the wine table all day long. When my father was in office, there was a lot of business in the factory, so there was no time during the week when Lao Xiao didn't drink.
Drunk two or three times? I'm just worried that when he gets home, Mrs. Xiao will probably punish him again when she sees him smelling of alcohol."
"Hahahaha." Yu Haitao and Miao Lei both laughed happily. Apparently Xiao Dongping's inner fear was a recognized joke in the factory.
"By the way, Ningmo, tell me what is going on in our factory." Qin Hai said. After this conversation with Xiao Dongping, he found that the situation at Qingfeng Factory was not optimistic.
The relationship was quite complicated, so I thought of understanding the situation first.
Not to mention how Ning Mo and others introduced the people and sophistication in the factory to Qin Hai, they only said that after Xiao Dongping left Weimin Restaurant, he returned home. As soon as he entered the door, his wife He Yumei smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body.
, a pair of phoenix eyes stood up: "Where have you been drinking again!"
"In the Weimin Restaurant." Xiao Dongping threw the things in his hands aside, sat down on the wicker chair, and said, "Yumei, make me a cup of tea."
"Going to drink again! Are you reluctant to take the bus in Hongze and save money to buy wine secretly?" He Yumei asked Xiao Dongping angrily while taking a thermos bottle to help Xiao Dongping make tea. She is typical
She was both angry with her husband for secretly drinking, and felt sorry for his usual gluttony. Seeing Xiao Dongping smelling of alcohol and looking tired, she naturally couldn't bear to ignore him.
Xiao Dongping waved his hand and said: "I saved fifty cents, but I didn't use it to buy wine. Today's wine was invited to me by the fat man from Factory Director Ning's family. He was serving wine at Weimin Restaurant to treat someone who had just arrived.
I have benefited greatly from the technical school students who registered in our factory. Good guy, 6 dishes, 3 meat and 3 vegetarian, the fat man is really willing to spend money."
"What kind of technical school student is he worth? Fatty spends so much money to treat him to dinner?" He Yumei's curiosity was aroused by Xiao Dongping. She heard that her husband saved money but did not use it to buy wine. She felt resentful towards her husband again.
A few points missing.
"I can't figure out where he came from, but this young man really has a lot of trouble. No, I have to go to Lao Leng's house and tell him about the rotary tiller blades..." Xiao Dongping said, and planned to get up and go out.
He Yumei stopped him: "Why do you go to someone else's house in the middle of the night when you smell like drunk?"
"Yes." Xiao Dongping sat down again, turned to the inner room and shouted: "Xiaojun!"
His son Xiao Xiaojun responded, and Xiao Dongping ordered: "Go to Uncle Leng and Uncle Xiang's house, ask them to come to me, and say that I have something to discuss with them."
"What's the urgent matter? Can't we discuss it at work tomorrow?" He Yumei asked.
Xiao Dongping said: "It's an urgent matter. This kind of thing cannot be discussed at work. Xiaojun, go quickly."
Xiao Xiaojun glanced at his mother and saw that her mother showed no objection, so he ran out to find someone.
After a long time, the technical section chief Leng Yuming and the production section chief Xiang Jiyong arrived at Xiao Dongping's house one after another. When they saw Xiao Dongping's face, they laughed and cursed together: "You old Xiao, don't you?"
Are you drunk again and want to drag us into chatting? You go to bed when you are drunk. Are you afraid that Xiao He will scold you and drag us into intercession? "
Xiao Dongping, Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong are of the same age. They were the three generals under the old factory director Ning Zhongying. They cooperated a lot at work and had good personal relationships. Leng and Xiang both knew that Xiao Dongping was addicted to alcohol.
He also knew that his wife would scold him if he drank, so he joked about it.
He Yumei was already used to this kind of joke. She poured water for Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong, asked them to sit down, and then said: "What Lao Xiao drank today was the wine invited by the fat man from Director Ning's house.
I heard there is another technical school student, ask him."
"Xiao Mo invited you to drink?" Xiang Jiyong was a little surprised, "What's going on?"
Xiao Dongping told Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong what had happened while drinking, especially highlighting Qin Hai's extraordinary qualities. Leng Yuming and Xiang Jiyong looked at each other in disbelief.
"No way, a technical school student... When did Lao Long's students become so capable?" Xiang Jiyong muttered in a low voice. He himself graduated from an agricultural machinery technical school. Of course, that was in the 1960s. The current
Long Changsheng, the principal of the Agricultural Machinery Technical School, was Xiang Jiyong's classmate at that time. Xiang Jiyong knew only too well how capable the students trained by the Agricultural Machinery Technical School were.
"Old Xiao, that Qin Hai said he had the ability to improve the quality of our rotary tillage blades above the industry average. Did he say what kind of process he would use?" Leng Yuming was concerned about specific technical issues.
Xiao Dongping shook his head and said: "I'm not a technical person. How could I understand what craftsmanship he was talking about? So I didn't ask him. My views are somewhat similar to Lao Xiang's. I think a technical school student should not
Is it such a big deal?"
"But you clearly said that the quenching process he used can process 65-manganese steel farm tools so that they can cut bricks without curling their blades. I can't do this at all," Leng Yuming said.
Xiao Dongping said: "This is what Miao Lei said, but I didn't see it with my own eyes."
Xiang Jiyong said: "I know this child Miao Lei, he is not very good at lying. Besides, Xiao Mo and the others spent so much money to treat Qin Hai to dinner, it must be because Qin Hai helped them solve the problem, which can also explain this
The thing is true."
"You said he has already registered, where does he live? I'm going to find him now." Leng Yuming was a little overwhelmed and planned to talk to Qin Hai immediately to see if he had any tricks to improve the quality of the rotary tiller blades.
.
Xiao Dongping shook his head and said: "I think it's better to observe it first. If he says it casually, we will take it seriously, and it will make a joke. My idea is, can you two find a chance to go there tomorrow?
Let’s give him a test to see if he is really capable or is he just bragging. If he is really capable, wouldn’t it be better if we listen to him talk about how to improve the quality of blades?”
Xiang Jiyong pointed at Xiao Dongping's nose and said with a smile: "Old Xiao, your supply and marketing business has made yourself suspicious. You have to test something like this first. However, you are right, he is a new technical school student.
, if we act too anxious, it might have counter-effects. I see that you are not drunk, and your thinking is quite clear."
Xiao Dongping smiled and said: "I, Lao Xiao, have always been drunk and wise, otherwise I would have been tricked by others when I was not doing business."
Qin Hai, Ning Mo and others drank at Weimin Restaurant until nine o'clock in the evening, licking every plate clean, and then returned to the agricultural machinery factory with satisfaction, patting their bulging bellies. When they arrived at the family area,
Ning Mo and others went back to their respective homes, while Qin Hai fumbled his way back to the bachelor's building based on his memories from the day.
"Have you just finished eating?"
Hearing the sound of Qin Hai opening the door, Wang Xiaochen on the opposite side opened the door again and poked her head out, asking Qin Hai. Smelling the smell of alcohol emanating from Qin Hai, she frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Qin, you
As a fresh graduate, don't imitate fat people and live like others, or your salary won't even be enough."
"Thank you Xiaochen." Qin Hai replied gratefully. Although Wang Xiaochen's reminder was unnecessary for Qin Hai, the concern was sincere. In fact, Qin Hai and Wang Xiaochen just met each other in the afternoon, but unexpectedly
Wang Xiaochen confided in him like this.
"You must be from the countryside, too, right? I am from the countryside too. We country people cannot compare with the city people. Their family is from Qingfeng Factory, and they rely on their parents for food and drink." Wang Xiaochen said to Qin Hai seriously.
"Thank you for the advice, Xiaochen. I'm really here for the first time today. Ning Mo and the others are so enthusiastic, so it's not appropriate for me to refuse. I won't go eating and drinking with them in the future." Qin Hai expressed his determination.
Wang Xiaochen nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You came all the way from Hongze and sweated so much. Go to the water room to wash up. The water is a bit cold at night. I have some boiling water in the thermos. You can use it."
"No need, I'm used to taking cold baths." Qin Hai said. After that, he added with a smile: "It seems that I can't even call you sister. You really take care of me as a younger brother."
Wang Xiaochen smiled sweetly and said: "Didn't you say it yourself, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as the opposite door? You have just arrived, so feel free to come to me if you need anything. If you have anything you don't know, you can ask me. You are welcome."
