Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Jia Dongxu nodded, and Yang Chong smiled and said, "Director Duan, Dongxu and I are not only from the same yard, but also neighbors across the wall. I came to work in the steel mill because of Dongxu."

Jia Dongxu was stunned. Duan Dagang asked curiously, "Why? Didn't everyone say that you joined the factory because you could get pork for the factory? I heard that the meat that everyone eats every day, such as pork, rabbit meat and chicken, is all caught by you, Yang Chong, in the mountains."

Yang Chong smiled and said, "Yes, what I meant is that many people in our hospital work in the steel mill, so when I killed the wild boar, I thought of the steel mill. As a result, I sent the wild boar to the steel mill, and I didn't expect that I would also be sent to work in the steel mill."

Duan Dagang laughed: "Well said. It's a good thing that Dongxu is your neighbor, otherwise the workers in our factory wouldn't have the good fortune to eat wild boar meat."

Yang Chong said: "At that time, I was still carrying heavy bags outside, and I envied Dongxu for being able to learn locksmithing from Master Yi in the steel rolling mill. Now that I have finally arrived at the steel rolling mill, I really want to see how Master Yi and Dongxu work."

Duan Dagang said, "You must be joking. You are a buyer, a big shot in front of the factory manager, and you envy those who work in our fitter workshop?"

Yang Chong said seriously, "Director Duan, I'm not kidding. I've always envied fitters because you are a skilled worker and the most proud type of worker in the factory. If I have a chance in the future, I really want to work in our fitter workshop. Director Duan, please don't think I'm stupid and reject me."

Duan Dagang laughed and said, "You speak so highly of our fitters, how can I not want you? Okay, let me say this, if you, Yang Da, a purchaser, get tired of doing purchasing and want to come to our fitter workshop to experience life, as long as the factory director has no objection, I, Duan Dagang, will always welcome you here."

Jia Dongxu felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened. What was he envious of? Can a fitter eat meat every day? This guy was clearly showing off in front of him. He didn't want to listen any more: "Director Duan, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go change my clothes and get back to work."

Duan Dagang waved his hand casually: "Okay, go change your clothes."

Jia Dongxu left. Yang Chong looked at his back and said to Duan Dagang, "Director Duan, since I have the opportunity to come to our fitter workshop today, can you let me see how Dongxu and Master Yi work?"

Duan Dagang said carelessly, "What's the problem? Come on, as long as Yang Da is not busy, I'll take you around."

He is in a very good mood now. When he came to work this morning, he met Yang Chong at the factory gate.

Originally, the two men were not familiar with each other, but Duan Dagang knew that this man was now a celebrity in the factory. He had brought a lot of pork, rabbit meat and other things to the factory and had solved major difficulties for the factory. Director Yang had praised him several times at meetings and asked everyone in the factory to learn from him.

They had met a few times before, but they just said hello and walked away. But today, Yang Chong took the initiative to come over and chat with him for a few words.

During this conversation, he found out that Yan Jiecheng, a new worker in his workshop, had been admitted to the factory with the help of Yang Chong.

Just now, when they passed by a deserted place, Yang Chong stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his pocket and said, "Director Duan, Xie Cheng and I are from the same courtyard, and we have a very good relationship. Please take care of him in the future. By the way, I shot a lot of pheasants yesterday, and I kept two at home. I will send one to your home after get off work so that your sister-in-law can have a taste too."

Who doesn’t like someone who can get things done like this?

Duan Dagang naturally would not refuse this small request, so he waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see you."

The work of a fitter is very extensive, mainly using hand tools and machines for machining, finishing and assembly, including grinding, filing, drilling, tapping, assembly and repair. It is not as simple as taking a vise and knocking twice.

There are also many working equipment in the workshop, such as lathes, drilling machines, grinding machines, etc.

The use of these work equipment also has technical levels. Equipment such as lathes and drilling machines require a relatively high technical level. Level 1 and 2 fitters are not allowed to operate the machines. They are only qualified to use some manual tools for filing, or operate some low-tech equipment such as grinding machines.

Duan Dagang pointed at the lathe and said, "See? This machine tool was bought from the Russians. It cost tens of thousands of dollars. There are only a few of them in the state-owned factories in the whole city. It is the treasure of our factory."

Yang Chong curiously went forward and touched it, then asked, "This machine is so precious, is it true that ordinary people can't touch it?"

Duan Dagang nodded. "Yes, treasures like this can only be handled by level 8 workers like Master Yi and Master Liu. Oh, and there are also technicians from the technical department. There's nothing we can do. If a treasure worth tens of thousands of dollars gets broken, there won't be anyone to fix it. We have to ask the Russians to send someone over, and it costs a lot to fix it."

Yang Chong clicked his tongue twice and said, "Then I'd better not touch it. If I break it, I'll be a sinner, and I can't take the responsibility."

Duan Dagang laughed and said, "It's not that mysterious. If it can be broken by just touching it twice, how can we work? It's better to put it there for people to respect."

Yang Chong waved his hand: "It's better to stay away, for safety."

Then he asked Duan Dagang: "Director Duan, what do workers like Jie Cheng, who have just come to the workshop, usually do?"

Duan Dagang said: "They are not familiar with the operation of locksmith yet. They are not allowed to use the equipment. They are only given some tools such as pliers and wrenches. Their work is just to help the masters."

Then he shook his head and said, "Don't talk about them. Take Jia Dongxu for example. He has been in the factory for several years, but his skills are terrible. If it weren't for Lao Yi's protection, I would have kicked him out of the fitter workshop and made him clean the place."

Then he pointed to a grinding machine next to him and said, "I might as well give him a grinding machine and let him do some grinding and cutting work. There's no other way. Isn't this also to give face to Master Yi, an eighth-level worker?"

Yang Chong stared at the grinder: "That's not bad, it can be considered as a special position."

Chapter 77 Jia Dongxu is offline

"Director Duan, what is this grinding machine usually used for?" Yang Chong walked over, tilted his head and asked while looking at the grinding machine.

"Oh, he usually just cuts steel pipes, steel bars and grinds off some burrs. He can't do anything else. Even if he can do it, you wouldn't dare let him do it. You don't know, your neighbor is lazy and stupid. He can't do any work and always causes trouble for you. Alas." Duan Dagang said, shaking his head.

"No way, I think Dongxu is quite smart in the yard, he shouldn't be so dumb, right?" Yang Chong said as he bent down and curiously touched the grinder: "This grinder looks simple, it doesn't require any technical skills, right? Dongxu shouldn't be unable to use it."

Duan Dagang said: "People are different. Some people are not only stupid, but also don't work seriously. Anyone who meets such a person as his leader will be unlucky for the rest of his life."

Yang Chong straightened his back and said, "That can't be helped. Director Duan, you should relax a little. He might not work here anymore one day."

Duan Dagang said: "I'm so lucky. Sometimes I even dream about him being transferred."

While they were talking, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had already changed their clothes and were coming over here. Yang Chong slapped his head and said, "It's getting late. I forgot that the department has a meeting today. Director Duan, I have to go first. Let's talk later." He lowered his voice and said, "I'll give you the food after get off work this afternoon. Take it back and let your sister-in-law and nephews have a taste."

Duan Dagang smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the expense."

Yang Chong said, "What are you talking about? We hunted them ourselves in the mountains, and it doesn't cost any money. Besides, we are family now, so eating a rabbit is no big deal. Let's go." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu came over.

"Director Duan, why is Yang Chong here today?" Yi Zhonghai asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Duan Dagang: "Hey, I just found out that it was he who helped Yan Jiecheng buy the work quota to enter the factory. Isn't this the reason I came to see how he is doing?"

Yi Zhonghai looked around and asked, "Why did you leave without any idea?"

Duan Dagang said, "He has a meeting to attend, so he left because he couldn't wait." He turned around and looked around, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Where's Yan Jiecheng? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Jia Dongxu said, "I forgot to tell you, Director Duan, when I came here, Yan Jiecheng asked me to take a day off, saying that he had something to do at home and would be late."

Duan Dagang frowned, thinking that he had only worked for a few days and he was already asking for leave. He was about to mutter something, but then he remembered the pack of cigarettes that Yang Chong had just stuffed into his pocket, and he swallowed his words back.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you're late. The new workers don't know anything, so being late won't delay anything. You guys start working." Duan Dagang began to arrange the work: "Lao Yi, take another look at the equipment parts drawings sent by the technical department today, and try to process those parts today to test the effect."

"Lao Liu, please take care of those warranty parts sent by Workshop 1. Don't delay production."

"..."

At the end of the arrangement, he looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "You, Jia Dongxu, go and finish cutting the angle irons that were not cut yesterday. Director Meng came to me yesterday and was very anxious. If you can't finish it this morning, you won't be able to eat lunch."

Jia Dongxu lazily agreed: "I understand."

Duan Dagang gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Okay, let's get to work."

Everyone dispersed and returned to their respective jobs to do their own work. Yi Zhonghai also went to the workshop office to get the drawings and began to study the drawings to prepare for processing parts.

Jia Dongxu did not go to work immediately. Instead, he lazily took the cup of water and went to the kettle to get a cup of water. Then he slowly came to the grinding machine.

There is a pile of angle irons in front of the grinding machine. They were delivered by the maintenance workshop the day before yesterday. They said they wanted to add a frame to the equipment in a workshop. These angle irons needed to be cut into various sizes and then taken to the welding workshop for welding.

Duan Dagang saw that this job required low technical skills and directly threw it to Jia Dongxu.

But the angle irons have been delivered for two days, and Jia Dongxu hasn't finished his work yet. The director of the maintenance workshop even came over yesterday afternoon to have an argument with Duan Dagang. It seems that Duan Dagang is also angry, so he has to work harder today.

Jia Dongxu took two sips of water, put the cup aside, started the grinding machine, picked up the angle iron and started cutting.

This job does not require any technical skills. You just need to draw lines on the angle iron according to the size, and then press the grinder to cut along the line.

Jia Dongxu felt that it was a waste of talent to ask an old worker who had been in the factory for several years to do such unskilled work, which was simply a lack of face for him and his master Yi Zhonghai.

I have to talk to my master later and ask him to talk about Duan Dagang.

By the way, I have to talk to the master and ask him to take out some more money to find someone to deal with Yang Chong. Feng Wu is unreliable. He took the money but didn't do the job. I have to find a reliable one this time. I must make sure that this guy breaks an arm or a leg, and at least he has to lie down at home for a few days.

Seeing him hanging around him today, as if he was demonstrating against him, Jia Dongxu felt very unhappy.

While thinking, Jia Dongxu pressed the grinding machine and started cutting the angle iron.

After cutting a few pieces, he felt something was not right. The angle iron looked a little crooked and the cut was not complete.

What's going on? Jia Dongxu muttered to himself, but seeing that there were only two or three left, he was too lazy to stop and check. He put another angle iron on and pressed the grinder again.

When Jia Dongxu pressed this button, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

An ominous premonition came over him, and the next thing he knew, his eyes widened in horror.

With a "bang" sound, the high-speed rotating grinding wheel just touched the angle iron and suddenly broke. A piece of the grinding wheel flew out and directly pierced Jia Dongxu's chest.

Jia Dongxu didn't even have time to scream before he fell on his back on the ground with a thud.

In the distance, Jia Dongxu, who had just come in from outside, happened to witness this scene. He hurried over, took a look and started shouting at the top of his voice.

"Someone, come quickly! Something happened to Jia Dongxu!"

"Uncle, come quickly, Brother Dongxu was hit by a grinding wheel!"

……

All the workers in the workshop came running over. Yi Zhonghai, who was far away, was also startled when he heard the voice: "Who is calling what?"

When he ran over and saw the scene in front of him, his legs went weak and he couldn't speak clearly: "How...how could this happen? Dongxu..."

Jia Dongxu in front of him was already covered in red.

Duan Dagang, who ran over after hearing the news, was the first to react: "What are you all still standing there for? Send him to the hospital immediately!"

Chapter 78 The Jia-Zhang Clan's War

It was too late to send him to the hospital. The grinding wheel had pierced Jia Dongxu's heart and he was dead before he could be reached.

There was blood all over his body and in front of the grinder.

The dead Jia Dongxu's eyes were wide open, as if to say that he was unwilling to die.

The co-workers around and the workshop director Duan Dagang all felt terrified when they saw it.

"Master Yi, how do you think we should notify Jia Dongxu's family?" Duan Dagang called Yi Zhonghai aside and asked with a worried look on his face.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale and he didn't speak for a long time.

From the workshop to the hospital, he was like a wooden man, as if the one who died was not Jia Dongxu, but himself.

Jia Dongxu is the fruit of his hard work for several years. Yi Zhonghai has invested countless efforts and money in choosing this person to take care of him in his old age. He is counting on Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

Now I haven't left yet, but Jia Dongxu is already dead.

All my years of hard work and money were wasted.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t even dare to think about what he would do in the future.

How could Jia Dongxu be so unlucky? He could lose his life by cutting an angle iron.

This is a job that even an apprentice can do well, so why does it become a soul-calling rope in his hands?

But how could the grinding wheel break? Was it because Jia Dongxu was just unlucky? Yi Zhonghai was puzzled.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Duan Dagang thought he was sad for Jia Dongxu, so he sighed and said, "Hey, Master Yi, the dead can't be resurrected, so don't be too sad. The most important thing now is to notify the family to handle the funeral. The leaders of the factory will be here soon. We have to notify the family first, and then negotiate compensation."

Yi Zhonghai nodded woodenly: "Let Yan Jiecheng go and notify them. He knows the route well."

Yan Jiecheng rode his bicycle and went there quickly. As soon as he got home and entered the yard, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Aunt Jia, Qin Huairu, let's go to the hospital quickly, Brother Dongxu is dying!"

Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes in the yard, dropped the mallet in her hand to the ground with a plop when she heard this. She turned pale and looked at Yan Jiecheng nervously: "Jiecheng, what did you say?"

Jia Zhang came out of the house and said, "Boss Yan, you are talking nonsense! My Dongxu is working well in the factory. What are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."

The third aunt was also shocked and quickly came out to blame Yan Jiecheng: "Jiecheng, don't talk nonsense, are you talking nonsense?"

Yan Jiecheng yelled, "Mom, I didn't say anything nonsense. Jia Dongxu was working in the factory and was hit by a grinding wheel. Director Duan asked me to come back to inform his family."

Before I could finish my words, I heard an old lady yelling, "Huai Ru, what's wrong with you?"

When I turned around, I saw Qin Huairu had rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground.

The people in the courtyard rushed forward, pinching her Ren Zhong and pouring cold water on her. After a long while, Qin Huairu finally opened her eyes: "Jie Cheng, you, are you telling the truth?"

Yan Jiecheng was about to say it again when the third aunt quickly said, "We'll know if it's true when we get to the hospital. Huairu, Aunt Jia, you guys should go to the hospital and take a look first."

An auntie also quickly said: "Yes, let's go to the hospital first."

So Qin Huairu didn't bother to wash clothes, and didn't even take the wash basin. She supported Jia Zhang and rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qin Huairu fainted again after taking a look.

Jia Zhang was very strong. She grabbed Duan Dagang and started to howl: "Are you the workshop director of Dongxu? Why did my son become like this? My Jia family only has this one son. Who will take care of me after he dies? I don't care. My son can't die in vain. You have to compensate me and take care of my retirement!"

Duan Dagang was overwhelmed: "Aunt Jia, don't worry, Dongxu's accident happened while he was working in the factory. The factory will not ignore it."

Jia Zhang became excited: "How can I manage it? I tell you, I won't agree to less money. My family, old and young, all rely on Dongxu's work to support them. And my pension money, you can't give me less."

Duan Dagang looked at Director Yang immediately, and Director Yang said, "Don't worry, Auntie, the factory will not mistreat employees and their families. We have clear regulations and compensation standards in this regard, and we will compensate according to the standards."

Jia Zhang stared at him and said, "Then tell me, how much compensation can I get for my son's death this time?"
