The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 60 Shaking Head
Yan Fugui did not publicize Liu Hua's background in the yard. This thankless task was not in line with his consistent principles in life.

Liu Hua threw the cigarettes into his own space, but kept the Moutai liquor in a secret compartment in the room. This was something he had put a lot of thought into secretly taking out.

Everyone has little secrets. Having a hidden compartment satisfies the curiosity of many boys. And how many boys hope to have a secret base that is unknown to others, just like a superhero.

After work, Liu Hua carried his tool bag and prepared to follow Ma Yushan around the workshop as usual.

"Hua Zai, you have been studying with me for nearly two months." Ma Yushan stopped him and said, "Your learning progress has far exceeded my expectations. Strictly speaking, you can now work on your own. I will assign the third workshop to you. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Carrying a tool bag, Liu Hua arrived at his base and greeted every worker with a smile: "Hello, I will be responsible for the maintenance of the third workshop from now on. Please let me know if you have any questions."

The director of the third workshop pulled Liu Hua into the office for a drink of water. If the third workshop wanted to be able to produce smoothly, he had to have a good relationship with the technical staff.

After chatting with the workshop director for a few words, Liu Hua wandered around the workshop with his bag on his back. Whenever he found any minor problems, he would help solve them in advance.

The director of the third workshop was very satisfied with Liu Hua's work attitude. He was worthy of being Ma Yushan's apprentice. Although he had won great honors, he was neither arrogant nor impatient at work.

After wandering around, Liu Hua came to the C position of this workshop. This place belonged to Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker with supreme glory. He operated the most stable and newest machine tools in the workshop.

Qin Huairu was operating the bed next to her. Logically speaking, Qin Huairu was still an apprentice and had no qualifications to operate a machine tool.

However, she inherited her husband's work position and length of service, and with the enthusiastic help of Yi Zhonghai, there was indeed one more machine tool in the workshop, which was the one that Jia Dongxu had operated before. So Qin Huairu, who had just been in the workshop for more than a month, was already able to operate it.

This made the other apprentices in the workshop jealous. They followed their master to remove burrs and move workpieces, wanting to touch the machine tools, but they didn't know how long they would have to wait.

But there was no way. The only level eight worker in the third workshop was Yi Zhonghai. When they asked for a machine tool, their master would scold them without hesitation.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you are Qin Huairu? I am not Yi Zhonghai, your master. I don't have the ability to let you operate the machine tool while you are still an apprentice. When I become an eighth-level worker, I will help you."

There was three parts of helplessness, three parts of sarcasm, and four parts of teasing in his words.

Liu Hua smiled and nodded to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai smiled back at him, and he was actually very happy inside.

The fact that Liu Hua was still willing to smile at him meant that the knot between them had been resolved, so he could let go and implement his retirement plan.

But we can only say that Yi Zhonghai was overthinking it. He has lived for forty or fifty years, but he probably still doesn't know what an awkward yet polite smile is. This smile was just a polite one.

After smiling at Yi Zhonghai, Liu Hua looked at Qin Huairu next to him. She was chamfering a short tube on a machine tool nearby.

Qin Huairu looked very skilled, but in fact, this was just a plan of Yi Zhonghai, as there were no CNC machine tools available.

All the production equipment are manual or semi-automatic, which tests the operator's basic skills. Yi Zhonghai only taught her one basic skill and asked her to practice it. This would easily cause Qin Huairu to lack basic skills, which would not be of any help to her in future grade exams.

While Liu Hua was observing, Yi Zhonghai was also carefully observing Liu Hua. He was afraid that Liu Hua would cause trouble for him. Facts proved that he was overthinking.

Liu Hua and Qin Huairu had no friendship, so he had no obligation to remind an irrelevant person. There was a joke about an old lady who lived to be a hundred years old and was still agile. The secret of her longevity was to mind her own business.

After watching for a while, Qin Huairu's movements were quick and efficient, just like when she was washing clothes. From time to time, she would pick up measuring tools to measure. The basic requirements for machine tool processing were still very clear.

Liu Hua turned and left, but as he left, he shook his head unconsciously. He felt sorry for Qin Huairu, another person who was controlled by Yi Zhonghai, a poor person.

Yi Zhonghai didn't see it, but Qin Huairu did. She secretly wondered why Liu Hua shook his head when he left. Did he see something?

Just because I was distracted for a short while, the movement of my hands on the machine tool became too violent, and the chamfer of a short tube was ruined.

Yi Zhonghai heard something wrong in the voice, turned around and saw Qin Huairu was still distracted, and immediately began to teach her a lesson: "Huairu, I've told you so many times that you must concentrate when you work. You must learn from your Dongxu's lesson. Our factory is now conducting safety production education, and you must remember every word."

Qin Huairu nodded, but in her mind, she kept thinking about why Liu Hua shook his head just now, and he shook his head after watching her operation.

Did he realize something, or was he shaking his head to express his pity for her? Like a spell, the action of shaking his head kept lingering in Qin Huairu's mind.

Liu Hua carefully toured the entire third workshop for the first time. In a small compartment in the third workshop, he found several machine tools that were covered with dust.

"Director, there are three machine tools in your small room, and they are all covered with dust." Liu Hua asked curiously, "Why don't you drag them out and let the new employees try them out?"

"Those are basically broken and cannot be repaired." The director shook his head. "These days, no one dares to waste so much money and let three machine tools gather dust there. If I really had three good machine tools, my production task would be much easier."

"Since it's a broken machine tool, why not send it to the scrap warehouse?"

"Your master told me to put it here. If a machine tool breaks down outside and needs a replacement part, go over there and see if you can get a spare part down."

"Then I can do whatever I want with it." Liu Hua said with a smile: "I'll try to see if I can fix it. If I can't, I can also gain experience."

The director of the third workshop nodded: "You can do whatever you want, as long as you pay attention to safety."
