Chapter 170 Mechanic Apprentice
Sleeping soundly, Wang Yiyuan was awakened by a sudden and strong incandescent light. A hoarse voice could be heard in his ears, "Old Wang, Lao Wang, get up soon, we are about to go to work."
Wang Yiyuan was shocked and immediately sat up with the quilt. He rubbed and rubbed his hands hard on his face, especially his eyes, and then raised his hands and yawned a long time. He finally opened his eyes hard and looked at the bed where he was sitting. It was a steel two-story bed.
He suddenly woke up: This is Zhenjiang, and it is the dormitory of Xiao Xiaoxiao Textile Company.
Take out your phone from under the pillow, and Wang Yiyuan looked at the time displayed on the screen. It was fifteen minutes away at 10 o'clock in the evening. He vomited a long breath of turbid air and said tumblingly, how could such a small dormitory be equipped with such a high-power incandescent lamp?
Zhu Xuying's cousin was also named Zhu, and he was a mechanic at the evening shift of the printing and dyeing factory. Everyone called him Xiao Zhu, but he was actually a few months older than Wang Yiyuan. When Wang Yiyuan found him in the afternoon, he called him Master Zhu. However, Xiao Zhu was not used to this title and insisted on letting Wang Yiyuan follow the crowd, but still called him Xiao Zhu.
Each such dormitory in the textile company is about ten square meters. Because there are few dormitories, twelve people squeezed into one room. The rooms are dirty and messy, and the people live in them are all men. There is a special mixed smell that makes people want to vomit when they first enter.
However, the dormitory allocation is quite reasonable. Everyone who works for the evening shift stays together, and they are separated from those who work for the day shift, so it is relatively quiet. Wang Yiyuan went in for a long time before he finally got up. He was exhausted all day today, and he got up early, and was already tired. After completing the factory procedures, he ate a bowl of instant noodles soaked in boiling water in the dormitory, and then he went to bed.
Xiao Xiaoxiao's textile company is actually composed of two relatively independent parts, a printing and dyeing factory and a clothing processing factory. The company has a canteen and also serves meals at night. It is just because the orders are insufficient, and the evening shift of the clothing company has been cancelled, so the employees of the printing and dyeing factory come to the canteen to have dinner at night.
On the way to the cafeteria behind Xiao Zhu, Wang Yiyuan was still a little confused. Although he had a nap for a while, he didn't have much strength now. At the canteen window, he only had a bowl of porridge and took a small plate of pickles.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhu took two more meat bags and turned around and stuffed them to Wang Yiyuan. He whispered, "Old Wang, we have to do all night. If you don't eat more, the weather is still relatively cold now. Then it will be very cold and hungry, and it will be very difficult to bear at night."
After taking the bun, Wang Yiyuan smiled at Xiao Zhu gratefully. When he sat down in his seat, Xiao Zhu whispered to Wang Yiyuan, because of some special reasons such as environmental protection, the workers in our printing and dyeing factory have always been on the evening shift.
Wang Yiyuan paused for a moment and then understood. He asked Xiao Zhu in a low voice, "We are mechanics, and it should be auxiliary positions, and since we are on the evening shift, there will always be a place to take a nap, right?"
Haha, there are indeed places to take a nap, but for our lower-level employees, this is really not available. Those are the leaders. Xiao Zhu grabbed a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth and chewed it hard. He said, "Also, Lao Wang, you have to know that if you are caught, you will be fined 50 to 100 yuan. We may have to do it all night.
After dinner, the two of them went to the workshop. Before entering the workshop, they had to go to the cloakroom to change their clothes. Each of them had their own special box. They took out the special protective suits from the box and put them on before they could enter the workshop again.
Xiao Zhu took out a new set of protective clothing from his drawer and threw it to Wang Yiyuan, saying, "I know you are coming, I went to get an extra set of clothing a few days ago. Try put it on. If you think it doesn't fit well, I will change it tomorrow."
Before coming to Zhenjiang, Wang Yiyuan repeatedly reminded Xie Dong and Zhu Xuying not to reveal his identity to anyone. So even Xiao Zhu only knew that Wang Yiyuan was introduced by his cousin's brother-in-law, and he knew nothing about the relative of a colleague who was looking for a job.
The printing and dyeing factory has four main production workshops: bleaching, dyeing, printing and whole-installation. Each workshop is equipped with two maintenance services for each shift. If there are major problems, the eight maintenance workers on duty in this printing and dyeing factory work together to solve the problem.
As soon as he entered the workshop, Wang Yiyuan sneezes a big sneeze. He suddenly felt something uncomfortable in his nostrils crawling in, as if it was sticking to his nose, it was very itchy and irritating. Even the air here was the same, and the eyes were very uncomfortable at first, as if something was in his eyes, causing pain.
Xiao Zhu was calm and didn't care. He introduced that there would be a lot of dust in the printing and dyeing factory and that it might be exposed to chemicals. Wang Yiyuan followed, rubbed his eyes, nodded without making any sound.
These printing dyes generally contain elements such as mercury, arsenic, lead, etc., and most of them are volatile. Xiao Zhu then said softly that we will take part of our breath and enter the body, which is harmful to human affairs. Long-term work will lead to "pneumoconiosis", and chronic bronchitis and emphysema, so we must take labor protection measures.
It took a long time for Wang Yiyuan to adapt to the environment in the workshop. The workshop environment seemed relatively loose and messy. What impressed the most was that each aisle was filled with finished and semi-finished products of cotton yarn and grey cloth, as well as hot alkali and some chemical raw materials and chemicals that Wang Yiyuan could not name.
Xiao Zhu is responsible for the machine maintenance of the printing workshop, and he is partnered with Zhou Ji'an. This is a big brother who is almost forty, and he is also the master when Xiao Zhu entered the factory. He is not wearing protective clothing and can especially smoke. When Wang Yiyuan saw him, he felt that the cigarettes in his hand had never been cut off.
Lao Zhou looks obviously slippery. Basically, the mechanics work in the workshop is instructing Xiao Zhu to do it. His reason is also very sufficient, saying that he is to fully train Xiao Zhu's abilities. In addition, with Wang Yiyuan, an apprentice in mechanics, he is even more so.
Lao Zhou was basically in two places when he got free. One was the tool room for mechanics. There was a small house at the back of the tool room, which was a bed for temporary rest. The other was that after he woke up, he basically stayed next to those transfer printing machines.
Wang Yiyuan didn't understand Lao Zhou's approach at first. Xiao Zhu said that there were some girls who transferred the printing. My master had a good sleep and was ready to pick up girls.
On that night, the workshop machine was basically running normally and no major problems occurred. Wang Yiyuan and the others just patrolled back and forth in the workshop, and sometimes they joked with the operators and helped. One night was about to pass.
Xiao Zhu said, our factory usually only starts until around 6 o'clock in the morning, and if it doesn't turn on during the day, we will have nothing to do after a while. But today, a buddy from the clothing factory in front asked for leave, and I still have to go to his job as a substitute.
Then I'll follow you too. Anyway, there's nothing else to do after work. Wang Yiyuan smiled and asked, "Xiao Zhu, why did I see the workshop director or other supervisor come in for a night?"
Oh, you are talking about the director? They basically don’t come to the evening. If they are lucky, they might meet them in the cafeteria in the morning. Xiao Zhu said in accustomed to it that the factory director is the same. They are all in the same group. The workers who work are all stinking workers, how could they come?
Wang Yiyuan asked again, there were many workers in the workshop of this printing and dyeing factory at night, and no one of them came into the scene. If something really happened, who should I go to?
Don’t the leaders’ phone numbers be on the wall? There are team leaders, workshop directors, and production deputy directors, all of them are on it. It’s more convenient to call them? Xiao Zhu smiled and said, “Go, clean up and we’ll have breakfast.” None of these are ours, and we don’t have anything to do.
