On Saturday morning, it happened to be Guo Guozhu and Wu Yingqiang's night shift. Their team left work an hour early today, because when it was almost dawn, the last furnace of steel of the night had already been baked. In Da Liu's words, "This is still too much worse, it's like this, if you can do it smoothly every day, it's beautiful." ”

Guo Guozhu and Wu Yingqiang took a bath in the workshop bathhouse and walked back. Guo Guozhu said, there is still something to do when he goes back early today. He didn't say what it was. He also said that Xiong Erbo came to his house the day before yesterday and told his mother that he was going to his house to look for him this morning. Wu Yingqiang didn't say anything. thought to himself, Xiong Erbo probably had nothing to do with Guo Guozhu. Lao Xiong originally liked to pull a gua, plus he had just graduated from a technical school and had just gone to work, so he had a fresh energy.

When they rode their bikes out of the factory gate, it was just in time for the morning commute. The two wide iron fence gates that were usually closed were let go early. You can enter and exit the main door of two Jiefang trucks in parallel, and at this time, it is blocked by a crowd of bicycles. When everyone came from the north and south roads of the gate, it was like a river rushing to a gate that suddenly tightened. When people ride to the gate, they all consciously get out of the car. Some people skimmed their legs off, pushed their bikes and walked a few steps, waiting for the two

After there was a cement buttress nearly one story high, I got back on my legs and got on the bike. Some people, maybe riding a bicycle for too long, have practiced a good riding technique, when the wind is galloping, skewed the car, driving to the gate battlement, only one leg——— mostly the right leg, from the saddle quickly left, just like a saddle horse athlete, just leave the left right leg on the ground like a dragonfly lightly, the left foot did not leave the pedal, and then the right leg in the air to draw an arc, re-sit on the car that did not slow down at all, swishing through the sculpture engraved with big characters in the middle of the factory, Disappeared into the roads that crisscross the factory area.

Guo Guozhu and Wu Yingqiang pushed their bicycles and carefully dodged the factory in the wrong direction by the gate. In the sound of a bell and a car chain box, someone shouted: "Guo Guozhu! ”

Guo Guozhu saw that it was Zhen Fengwei, a classmate of the machining class. Guo Guozhu passed through the crowd and promised: "Alas, go to work? ”

"Hey, you're off work?" Zhen Feng didn't wear a red jacket and stumbled off the car, like a fire, which looked very eye-catching in the bicycle group. She twisted her head as if she wanted to say something, but she was carried away by the traffic entering the factory.

Guo Guozhu and Wu Yingqiang walked out of the gate and merged into the bustling bicycle stream on work in the morning. Guo Guozhu thought about it and said to Wu Yingqiang: "Hey, it's different, people learn cold processing, but that's it, it's not good, I've only been working on the lathe for a few days, and it seems that I'm being transferred now." ”

When Wu Yingqiang heard him say this, his mouth moved, he didn't know what to say, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. After a long time, he asked: "Their class, have they all been assigned to the rolling mill workshop?" ”

"There are also those who are assigned to the rock loader, and there are some who are assigned to the drilling machine workshop. Anyway, it's all cold working. It's not bad. It's better than our hot processing. It sounds like Guo Guozhu is not interested in Zhen Fengwei's work in the machining class. Not very much in favor either. In fact, it is also true. Guo Guozhu is quite satisfied with working in a machine factory known as a factory with 10,000 people, for now. Of course, it would be even better if you could go to the cold working workshop. But that's impossible, because I learned smelting, and I can only do it in a hot processing workshop. Hey, take your time, there are more people who have the means, and there are more people who have the ability, how can you compare with others. Compared with the above, there is more than enough to be lower, compared to the descendants in the family courtyard and on the street, some are still from the countryside in the queue, and they are being transferred to the city. There are even some streets that are about the same size, and they are still working in the large collectives and small collective factories run by the streets. Hey, those small factories on the streets, compared with the big state-owned factories, are simply heaven and earth. Thinking of this, Guo Guozhu smiled. Wu Yingqiang looked at Guo Guozhu and thought, Guo Guozhu is really good, and he may really be able to make a section chief or even the workshop director do it in the future. Wu Yingqiang thought about it and laughed, he was not a joke Guo Guozhu, definitely not. After more than two years of getting along, they still know each other, and they have their own ambitions.

When he was about to arrive at the door of Guo Guozhu's house, Guo Guozhu asked Wu Yingqiang to go in and sit down, saying that maybe Xiong Erbo was also there. Wu Yingqiang said, don't go in, go home early and sleep for a while, I didn't see each other last night.

As soon as Guo Guozhu entered the hospital, he saw Xiong Erbo's 26 bicycle parked in front of his house from a distance. He shouted neither high nor low: "Old bear? When did you come here? ”

Xiong Erbo came out of the house, followed by Guo Guozhu's mother. Xiong Erbo smiled and said, "Just came here for a while, what are you doing, this is just getting off the night shift?" ”

"Hey, just got off the night shift, come in, come in, come in and sit. How are you? Didn't show up for work today? ”

"Come to work, it's just right, today the head asked me to go to the provincial hospital to do some errands, which happens to be not far from your home. There is no hurry. I'll sit down and leave, you just got off the night shift, hurry up and sleep for a while. ”

Guo Guozhu is like this to his classmates, who comes, warm reception, it doesn't matter whether he just got off the night shift or not. He guessed that Xiong Erbo had something to say to him, and he never looked at Xiong Erbo as an outsider, so he said bluntly: "Sit down, sit down, since you are not in a hurry, just sit for a while." That day, and machining ...... Alas, by the way, when I left the factory gate just now, I met Zhen Fengwei, she entered the gate, and Wu Yingqiang and I went out of the gate. I said hello, but I didn't hear what I said. ”

"Hey, I may be suing you, I'm here at your house."

Guo Guozhu's mother wanted to go out, and Xiong Erbo said with a smile: "You sit, don't be in a hurry to go, Guozhu usually doesn't sleep in the morning, and he doesn't sleep until noon." You're sitting. ”

Xiong Erbo hurriedly stood up: "Okay, auntie, you are busy." ”

Guo Guozhu's mother kept praising Xiong Erbo while walking out: "Alas, look at Xiong Erbo, the tutor is really good, when is it polite." ”
