Zhou Hongbao looked at Niu Xiaoqiang intentionally or unintentionally, the two exchanged a look, and then Zhou Hongbao smiled and said: "Secretary Zhang, seeing the happy appearance of your husband and wife, my old subordinate is very happy, you have been single for so many years, and you have finally found your favorite life partner, don't say anything, I salute the two of you with a cup, I wish you a long life!"

Zhang Guangmao laughed: "Okay, borrow your auspicious words, let's toast!"

Liu Hui is always a little weak when facing Zhou Hongbao and Niu Xiaoqiang, because the two know her past very clearly. At this moment, after listening to Zhou Hongbao's congratulations, Liu Hui's heart became a little more steady, she didn't know how to drink, she looked very arrogant, and toasted with the two men.

Niu Xiaoqiang was thinking about such a question in his heart: If Zhang Guangmao knew that Liu Hui had worked in a song and dance hall, I don't know what he would think?

The wine was drunk until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and Niu Xiaoqiang was not drunk, which was a great luck. What should have been said had already been said at the wine table, so everyone was not hypocritical after the banquet was dismissed, and they went home to rest.

Niu Xiaoqiang originally wanted to go to Zhang Guangmao's house to rest, but Fang Dongping did not agree. He felt that it was a bit troublesome to run around at night, and the conditions of the guest house were quite good, so there was no need to toss back and forth.

Niu Xiaoqiang followed Fang Dongping's suggestion, went to open two guest rooms, and the two rested in the guest house for one night, and returned to Aoshan by boat the next afternoon.

The things that should be busy have basically been completed, and then the two put away their minds and devoted themselves to the field of machining.

Although Fang Dongping knew that Niu Xiaoqiang's machining technology was already very good, he still required Niu Xiaoqiang to operate the machine tool for four hours every day. Niu Xiaoqiang didn't have any opinion on this, but felt that this arrangement was very appropriate.

He has never been a blind and arrogant person, and he wishes that Master would teach him more experience and skills.

The life of the two finally returned to the previous state, the pharmaceutical factory and the flower water factory were handed over to the factory committee to manage, they didn't have to worry too much, they took turns to carry out machining, and the life was very leisurely.

At the end of the month, Niu Huahua and the three of them got their junior high school graduation certificates. The trio joined the Asian Machinery Factory as apprentices.

In order to expand production capacity and facilitate teaching, Niu Xiaoqiang asked Chen Jianguo to help purchase two other old machine tools. The condition of these two old machine tools is very good, because the whole industry is not in a good situation, so the price is also very low, so Niu Xiaoqiang is very satisfied.

After the machine tool was installed, Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping took turns to teach their disciples. Niu Xiaoyong is the most serious among the three, followed by Niu Huahua, and Niu Xiaodong's grades are the worst.

When this kid saw that the work of the flower water factory was so simple, he couldn't help but have the idea of slacking off. He felt that it was easier to work in a flower water factory, unlike a machine factory, where there was so much to learn.

That afternoon, Niu Xiaodong took advantage of the time to study and made a request to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Brother Qiang, can you get me to the Flower Dew Water Factory? I think the job over there is more suitable for me." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't think about it, and immediately refused: "Xiaodong, don't forget our previous agreement, how can you not abide by what you said?"

Niu Xiaodong said bitterly: "It's not that I want to break the contract, it's really because I'm not engaged in mechanical processing of this material, you can also see, I am the slowest learner among the three, which is already very revealing." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang stared at him with a smile: "Xiaodong, do you think I'm so easy to deceive? Don't think that you can fool the past by deliberately pretending to be stupid, in fact, I am like a mirror in my heart, your skills are the best among the three people, right, Xiaodong?"

Niu Xiaodong's expression looked very embarrassed, he originally felt that he was hiding so deeply, he would definitely be able to deceive the past. Unexpectedly, Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes were sharp-eyed, and he had already seen through his careful thinking.

"Brother Qiang, don't get me wrong, I'm not working against you, but I'm really not suitable for machining. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang knows that this guy has a clever head, and generally this kind of person has more ideas and is unwilling to work down-to-earth. If he could, he wouldn't mind transferring Niu Xiaodong away, but there was no suitable position for him in the factory at present, so he could only leave Niu Xiaoqiang in the machinery factory.

"Xiaodong, I'll tell you the truth, if there is a suitable position in the future, I can transfer you over, but now it's definitely not possible, no matter what, you have to honestly learn the machining technology for me, otherwise you will fall behind, understand?"

Niu Xiaodong understood as soon as he heard that the so-called falling behind meant being kicked out of this circle.

He had already seen Niu Xiaoqiang's ability, of course he was unwilling to give up this big tree, hearing this, Niu Xiaodong said with a bitter face: "Brother Qiang, why do you have to force me to learn technology? If I change positions in the future, the skills I have learned now will not be used at all, isn't this a waste of time?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said solemnly: "Do you think I really want you to learn technology? This is polishing your temperament, you are a little smart, but you are a little smart, but a little superficial, unwilling to work in a down-to-earth manner, always thinking about taking shortcuts, this kind of character is unacceptable, there is no free lunch in the world, if you always think about opportunism, you will definitely have no interest in the future, I don't like this kind of person, I have already said it very clearly, what to do you decide for yourself." ”

Niu Xiaoyong, who was working hard, couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Brother Qiang is so right, Xiaodong, you kid just likes to cheat and play tricks, if you don't educate you well, you will definitely end up in the rest of your life!"

Niu Huahua couldn't help but laugh coquettishly, and looked at Niu Xiaodong with teasing eyes. Although Niu Xiaodong was a little embarrassed on his face, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Niu Xiaoqiang. He nodded very sincerely: "Well, I listen to Brother Qiang, and I must reform myself well." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to raise the requirements: "Just say that you don't practice fake handles, since you have ideological awareness, then you should show me through practical actions, you only process two bearings a day now, I decided to double the number, Xiaodong, you have to work hard to perform." ”

Niu Xiaodong was instantly dumbfounded, smacking his lips and wanting to say something, but seeing Niu Xiaoqiang's stern eyes, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.

When the four friends got together again, they usually always laughed and laughed, Fang Dongping on the side had long been accustomed to this, he shook his head with a smile and didn't say anything.

At this time, Wang Xiaoshuang walked in quickly: "Xiaoqiang, Li Yu called you and said that he had something to report to you." ”
