"I rushed to meet the factory director. When he saw me, he quickly pulled me aside.
I know what the factory director means, he just wants me to collect the iron first and prevent him from causing trouble in our workshop.
Sure enough, the factory director opened his mouth and said, "Old Zhang, this guy named Tie is a man. I personally recruited him into our steel factory at that time."
This guy is not only very strong, but he can also endure hardships. He is willing to work hard at anything. He loves to use his brain and knows how to adapt. He is a good young man.'
I laughed when I heard this and asked the factory director: 'Then if the seedling is a good one, why do you let him work in front of the furnace?'
The factory director also laughed and said, "Old Zhang, you don't understand now. What happened to the furnace worker? I also came here to work as a furnace worker."
Let me tell you this, if he hadn’t come to you to kowtow and become a disciple, I would have made him the stove chief.’
I said: 'Director, I set the rules for accepting apprentices, and no one can break them.
Then Dayan is still my senior sister’s biological daughter, so she still has to pass three tests!’
As soon as I said this, Tiezi's loud voice rang out.
‘If you have to pass three levels, you should go through three levels! I, Tie Gensheng, came from Shandong to the east of Guandong. If I didn’t starve to death, I would have already made money.
I offended you yesterday, and I want to apologize to you. I will kowtow to you three times and get rid of this apprenticeship ceremony.'
You dad, you are such a great guy, you kowtow every step of the way, and when you get in front of us, your forehead is covered with blood, but I was shocked again."
Tie Jun grinned, "Grandma, our old Tie family seems to follow my father. I even suspect that my hometown is from Sui County, Shandong."
"Hahaha, kid, how about saying that your dad and I are destined to be together? My hometown is really from Juye County, Heze, Shandong Province, not Zui County."
The three of them all laughed, and Anna felt that the Chinese language was profound and profound, and she smiled and gave a thumbs up.
After laughing for a while, Zhang Wan continued.
"Things have reached this point, and with the factory director in charge, there is no other solution except passing the three hurdles.
At this time, I felt a little sympathy for Tiezi. No one had ever broken through like him. They had to be apprentices for at least one year before they dared to break through.
So, I asked the factory director: 'Director, those words you just said were not lies to me, were they?'
The factory director was happy and said: 'You are an expert master, I dare to joke with you!
He has passed three levels and you have made a good apprentice.
I can’t get through, but I’ve got a good furnace manager, no matter what I do, I won’t pay for it!’
I nodded and said, 'Then I'll be relieved!'
After saying that, I shouted to the crowd: 'Everyone knows that I still have one apprenticeship. Today, I will not favor anyone.
I not only gave him a chance, but also gave the apprentice a chance. These three levels of mine have long been no secret. I am an apprentice and must be practicing them all.'
At this point, I looked at Tie Zi and said, "Your name is Tie Gensheng. I remember it. We saved each other yesterday. You said something ugly, but I won't argue with you."
Today, I will choose four more opponents for you. If you want to win, it will be very difficult, very difficult, but what I want to tell you is this.
If you can be my disciple, Zhang Chaosi, you must not be a coward. You don't know about my three levels, but everyone knows about them.
The test is about the basic qualities that a qualified welder should possess. If you are really good at it, then show it to everyone.’
Tiezi became happy when he heard what I said. He jumped up and shouted: 'Then I would like to thank everyone for testifying for me. No matter whether I win or lose, I will obey justice!
I am sincere and will not beat around the bush. If I hadn’t gone back to inquire about you yesterday and found out that you are a hero, I would not have worshiped my mother...'
Seeing me glaring at him, he knew that he had said the wrong thing again. He lowered his head and wiped the blood from his forehead. The factory director laughed, waved his hand and shouted: 'The playground has passed the third level!'
When we arrived at the playground, the number of people doubled again. The stands on both sides were filled with people. At first glance, it was completely dark.
You haven't experienced that era and haven't been in a factory, so you don't know.
Factory sports games and workers' skills competitions are the favorites of all workers. Their interest is no worse than watching "Shanghai Beach" in previous years.
This three-level pass was invented by me. The first level tests balance ability. You carry two bowls of water and cross three horizontal beams. Whoever has the fastest time and spills the least water wins.
Soon, four other apprentices who broke through the barrier were selected.
When I saw it, my dear, two sons of the workshop director and two sons of the deputy factory director all came out to bully your father.
Five people stood up, one person brought two bowls of water, and the factory director blew the whistle himself.
A whistle blew, and the four people rushed out. Tiezi looked at their backs and laughed, and I almost didn't curse him.
At this time, he picked up the big bowl, drank a big gulp, then poured another bowl of water over, and then ran out with the two big bowls.
As a result, one got stuck, one threw a bowl, one didn't have much water in the bowl, and one was as slow as a snail.
When Tiezi reached the finish line, he waited for the man to come over slowly, glanced at the bowl in his hand, and swallowed the water in his mouth.
Then, he put two large bowls on the rostrum and said, "I prepared this big mouthful for nothing. I won't use it at all."
The second level tests endurance. A plate of water is held horizontally. Whoever lasts longer and has more water wins.
Tiezi won this level more easily. If I hadn't told him to go ahead, he wouldn't have let go.
The last level is a mentality test. Use chopsticks to divide a large bowl of red and mung beans. Whoever divides the beans first wins.
From the beginning to the end, Tie Zi moved at the same speed, like a robot. No matter how loud the crowd shouted, it was as if he didn't hear it.
Those few were fine at first, but became more and more nervous as time went on. Two of them couldn't even pick up chopsticks.
Hahaha, over the years, I have brought more than twenty apprentices, and Tiezi is the only one I accepted on the spot."
Zhang Wan took a sip of tea, her face was filled with pride, and Tie Jun was also filled with pride.
"Your dad is a legend in Anshan Iron and Steel. He was the last to get started and the first to become an apprentice. He took the Soviet Pictorial and taught himself the vacuum diffusion welding equipment.
As a result, one got stuck, one threw a bowl, one didn't have much water in the bowl, and one was as slow as a snail.
When Tiezi reached the finish line, he waited for the man to come over slowly, glanced at the bowl in his hand, and swallowed the water in his mouth.
Then, he put two large bowls on the rostrum and said, "I prepared this big mouthful for nothing. I won't use it at all."
