Reborn in 1977, I will no longer be my brother's blood bag.

Chapter 162 She needs to make up for those 3 yuan.

Unit 3 completed its first night shift.

The next morning, the batch of goods that had been sitting in Workshop 2 for half a month were reloaded.

Several flatbed carts were parked at the factory gate.

The workshop director was counting things back and forth with a notebook between his fingers, his voice already hoarse from shouting.

"Who tied up that box in the back? The rope is so loose, it'll fall apart as soon as it leaves the factory!"

Old Guo came out of the workshop, his back still bent.

"I stayed up all night last night and didn't even have breakfast. Let me catch my breath first."

The workshop director took two boiled eggs out of his pocket and handed one to him.

"Eat. Don't turn around and collapse in the workshop, or it'll be on my tab."

Old Guo took the eggs.

"What about the other one?"

"mine."

"You didn't stay up all night."

I woke up four times during the night.

Sister Sun just came out of the door.

"You call that being afraid of losing your bonus overtime?"

The workshop director immediately put the eggs back.

"I'm not giving it to you anymore."

Sister Sun ignored him and gestured with her chin toward the outer wall of the factory.

"The bonus slip has been posted."

Everyone in the workshop rushed over there at once.

The workshop director was so anxious that he stomped his feet in frustration.

"The goods aren't all loaded yet!"

No one turned around.

A red paper was pasted on the wall of the factory.

The paste was still wet, and the bottom right corner was curling outwards.

The workers surrounded the area in layers.

"Old Zhao, can you check for me? Is it five yuan or six yuan on my back?"

"You're blocking my view, how can I see anything!"

"Don't push, you'll spill the paper, and Accountant Liu will start yelling again."

Sister Sun stood on the outer circle and, taking advantage of her height, quickly found the night shift group.

The smile on her face vanished instantly.

"Xiao Chen."

Chen Xiaomei stood at the back of the crowd.

"Sister Sun."

Sister Sun pushed aside the two people in front of her and squeezed to the wall.

Chen Xiaomei's name is in the third-to-last line.

Three pieces are missing from the back.

There were also a few smaller words next to it.

An operational error occurred last month.

Sister Sun reached out to peel off the red paper.

Accountant Liu rushed out of the office with her abacus in her hand.

"Don't touch it! I just put it on!"

"Why are they deducting money from my account?"

Accountant Liu adjusted his glasses and leaned closer to take a look.

"That's what was written in the report last month, and I calculated it according to the list."

"Unit 3 has a problem."

"That was discovered this month."

"It broke last month."

"Team Leader Sun, arguing with me won't help."

Accountant Liu pressed the red paper back onto the wall.

"I copied the list until dark yesterday afternoon. Now your workshop says it needs to be changed, so I have to redo all the accounts and forms."

Chen Xiaomei squeezed in and reached out to pull Sister Sun.

"Never mind, Sister Sun."

Sister Sun turned around.

"What did you say?"

"It's only three yuan."

"Weren't you waiting for this money to buy shoes?"

Chen Xiaomei blushed.

"It's okay to buy the shoes later."

"Your brother's pair?"

Chen Xiaomei remained silent.

Someone nearby laughed, "Her brother's feet grow fast. If it had been two months later, his old shoes wouldn't have been able to cover his heels anymore."

Chen Xiaomei looked down and kicked the base of the wall.

"I'm afraid I won't get the advanced award again this month."

Sister Sun turned around.

"What's so advanced?"

"Last time they said there was a problem with my operation, so the team crossed out my name."

Why didn't you say so?

"It's no use saying anything."

"Who says it's useless?"

The workshop director arrived at this time.

"What are you all doing here? The goods are waiting to be loaded."

Sister Sun pulled the red paper in front of him.

"Why is she keeping those three yuan, including her bonus?"

The workshop director glanced at it.

"The decision to take action last month has already been made."

"Unit 3 is malfunctioning."

"That was only clarified later."

"Was the machine faulty a later development?"

The workshop director was embarrassed.

"Sister Sun, stop beating around the bush. The advanced work group evaluation was all done last month, and now it's changed. Xiao Chen needs to make up for it, and other groups will come asking too. Will you explain this to them one by one for me?"

"Explain if it needs explaining."

"You make it sound so easy."

He pointed to the list with his finger.

"The disciplinary action was reported by the work team, and the maintenance team also signed it. Now it's all overturned, and we have to find people who were in charge before that."

Old Guo walked over, peeling an egg.

"Let's look for it then."

The workshop director glared at him.

"You still have things to do here."

"I know."

"Didn't you write last month that you couldn't find the problem?"

Old Guo held the eggshell tightly in his hand.

"Nothing was found."

"So what do we say now?"

"It's been found out now."

"You found it in one sentence, but what about the previous repair record?"

Old Guo took a bite of the egg and chewed it for a long time.

"I went there that night."

Sister Sun asked, "What did you figure out?"

"The temperature was high, and the lights flickered."

The workshop director suddenly raised his voice.

"Then why didn't you write it?"

"Even if I write it down, I can't be sure."

"What if you don't write it?"

Old Guo's face also looked grim.

"The machine can be turned on again the next day. I can't exactly point at it and say, 'Something inside must be broken.'"

Chen Xiaomei stood to the side, her lips moving slightly.

"Master Guo, when I said the yellow light was flashing that day, did you think I misread it?"

Old Guo held the remaining eggs in his hand.

"At the time... I didn't dare to admit it."

The people gathered around the wall were all watching him.

Old Guo threw the eggshells into the trash can.

"It's my fault for not investigating properly."

The workshop director was suppressing his anger.

"Now that you've admitted it, the repair team's records have to be changed."

"Let's change it."

"Do you still want to be recognized as an outstanding student in your class this year?"

Old Guo shoved his hands into his cotton-padded jacket pockets.

"Can Xianjin buy shoes for Xiao Chen?"

The workshop director was speechless for a long time after being cornered by him.

Accountant Liu was so anxious that he kept banging his abacus on the side.

"Are you going to change it or not? The list is only half up, and everyone in the office has come out to see what's going on."

Lin Xiuhe heard this sentence as she entered the factory.

She was holding the operation records from last night.

"What's wrong?"

Accountant Liu handed the red paper to her.

"Last month's accounts have been brought up again. Now the money needs to be paid, the procedures need to be changed, and the advance payments need to be recalculated."

The workshop director pointed to Chen Xiaomei's row.

"Unit 3 was out of service last month, and she was on duty then. It was treated as an operational error at the time."

Lin Xiuhe opened the record.

"Which day?"

Number 18.

She scrolled back a few pages.

The record for that day contains only one sentence.

Recovery after load reduction.

It's impossible to tell whether it's a machine or an operator.

Lin Xiuhe then looked at Lao Guo.

"Where's the repair team's notebook?"

Old Guo turned and walked towards the workshop.
