Fang Dongping is clearly showing an attitude, although Chen Jianguo has a straightforward personality, but his brain is not stupid, he heard the door as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "There is no problem at all with Master Niu to follow, I must pay my salary according to the rules - no, you are a closed disciple of Fang Gong, if I come according to the rules, I will inevitably give a little less, Lao Jiang, how did you pay Master Niu a salary?"

Jiang Ronghua said truthfully: "I set the salary according to the standard of skilled workers, five yuan a day, and then Fang Gong helped me personally handle the production, and Master Niu helped to lay the hand, and I added five cents a day." ”

Chen Jianguo waved his hand: "Then I will also open two yuan a day's salary, come on, let's continue!"

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Chen Jianguo was so generous, and couldn't help but have a better impression of him. Fang Dongping on the side reminded: "Xiao Chen, forget it this time, you can't do it next time, I heard that your salary for your brother-in-law is only thirty yuan a month, and giving too much to others is easy to cause family conflicts." ”

Chen Jianguo waved his hand angrily: "Don't mention him to me, I can't wait to get rid of him, this kid can speak well with one mouth, but if he really wants to do a job, he will pull a thin belt, useless goods!"

Jiang Ronghua nodded: "This is true, your brother-in-law's biggest ability is to make trouble for you, and if it were me, I would have driven him away long ago." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't know much about this, and because he was young, he couldn't interject at all, so he could only listen to him, and while listening to him, he secretly thought to himself: If Uncle Chen really fires his unreliable brother-in-law, won't there be workers in his factory? Should I take this opportunity to find a long-term job?

Chen Jianguo scratched his hair with some annoyance: "Alas, forget it, let's still have a drink." ”

The three of them then pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and their drinks were very good, and they drank endlessly.

After all, Fang Dongping is old, no matter how much he can drink, his body bones are not as good as two middle-aged people, after more than half an hour, Niu Xiaoqiang saw that his speech began to be a little slurred, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Two uncles, my master has almost drunk, let's stop here today." ”

The two were also afraid that Fang Dongping would have something wrong with drinking, so they didn't insist. After the banquet was dispersed, Niu Xiaoqiang helped Fang Dongping into the house and lay down, poured a large glass of boiling water for Fang Dongping to cool down, and then went to rest.

The next morning, Fang Dongping woke up rubbing his head, and after drinking several cups of tea, he relieved himself, "Alas, I'm old, and my body is no longer good." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang persuaded: "Master, you can't drink so much wine in the future, what if something happens to you?"

Fang Dongping nodded: "It's true that you can't fight with others anymore." ”

After breakfast, Jiang Ronghua handed over his salary to the two of them, and sent them all the way to the road very enthusiastically.

Niu Xiaoqiang tightly clutched the salary of seven yuan and five cents, and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment arose in his heart. Although he used to make a lot of money selling fish, but that money has a lot of tricks, if he hadn't found the wild pond behind the mountain, naturally he wouldn't have been able to make money selling fish. But these seven dollars and five cents are different, they are the income of his labor, and the meaning is different.

Niu Xiaoqiang put the money in his personal pocket, looked up at the three-way intersection in front of him, and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

"Go to the right. ”

"Okay, sit down, let's go. ”

Fang Dongping's bicycle is also a 28 model, Niu Xiaoqiang has some short legs, and he can't reach it originally. Fortunately, Fang Dongping modified the bicycle and lowered the seat very low, otherwise Fang Dongping would have to ride the bicycle this time.

After earning the first salary in his life, Niu Xiaoqiang's motivation became more and more high, and he pedaled his bicycle quickly, and arrived at the gate of Chen Jianguo's factory in less than 20 minutes.

Chen Jianguo's factory looks slightly better than Jiang Ronghua's, at least the sundries piled up in his yard are neat and orderly, not very messy, which may have something to do with his former soldiering.

Taking advantage of Fang Dongping's efforts to go to the toilet, Niu Xiaoqiang supported the bracket of the bicycle and went to the yard to take a look.

There was a woman in her twenties who was washing clothes in the yard, Niu Xiaoqiang estimated that the woman who touched this woman should be Chen Jianguo's lover, but he was not sure, so he did not say hello.

After Fang Dongping came back from going to the toilet, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door. He had been here before, recognized Chen Jianguo's family, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liu, why don't you buy a washing machine, won't it be easier?"

The woman who was washing the clothes looked up, then stood up, and said with a smile on her face: "It turned out to be Fang Gong, please sit in the room, and I will go and lay egg noodles for you." ”

Fang Dongping smiled and waved his hand: "I've already eaten, don't be so polite, where is Xiao Chen?"

Chen Jianguo's lover wiped the laundry detergent foam off his clothes casually, turned his head and shouted at the house: "Jianguo, Fang Gong is here, you hurry up and come out to say hello." ”

Chen Jianguo walked out quickly and said in surprise: "I didn't expect the two of you to come so early, I thought it would take a while, let's go, I'll take you to eat something." ”

Fang Dongping once again showed that he had already eaten, and then said with a smile: "Aren't you in a hurry, let's hurry up and get down to business." ”

Chen Jianguo was not polite, and walked into the backyard with the two. The backyard is a simple factory built with steel bars and iron sheets, although the area is much larger than Jiang Ronghua's house, but there is only one milling machine.

When the three of them walked into the backyard, a young man under the age of 20 was sitting on the operating table of the milling machine reading a book.

Chen Jianguo yelled angrily: "Just read a book, why do you have to sit on the machine and read? Hurry up and get out of here!"

The young man was not angry, jumped off the operating table and walked out without looking back, and before going out, he said disdainfully: "Hmph, I see who has the ability to fix the machine." ”

Chen Jianguo smiled a little embarrassedly: "Fang Gong, my brother-in-law is so out of tune, don't be like him." ”

Fang Dongping smiled and waved his hand: "He's still young, what should I do with him? It's important to do things, you still tell me about the problem of machine tools." ”

Chen Jianguo nodded, pointing to the discus-shaped blanks piled up on the side of the milling machine: "I received an order for processing gears from Jiangbei Machinery Factory a few days ago, everything went smoothly at the beginning, who knew that after two days, the machine kept shaking, and there was no way to produce, no matter how I repaired it, it just couldn't get it right, so I could only ask you, the master, to go out in person." ”
