On Monday morning, when I stepped into the threshold of the security class, the master was already sitting on his earthen sofa. Fatty Zhang and Xiao Li entered the door with the ringtone of work, and deliberately avoided the master a little. Squad leader Xu came in and assigned the task, but before he could finish his speech, they turned around and went out.

The master and I had a task this morning to repair a parallel machine that had failed last night. The master led me into the workshop, came to the scene and explained a few words quickly, and then got into the machine by myself. I still stayed by a bunch of tools as usual, listened to the master's instructions, and handed in and out one by one.

The preservation worker does not only a dirty and tiring physical work, but also a meticulous job that requires cleverness and skill, because the parts of different machines need to be adjusted and the gear gap is appropriate, which requires both experience and patience and meticulousness.

When our master and apprentice work, the female workers are all watching from afar. The master is tall and handsome. Every time he walks in the workshop, he will attract a lot of hot eyes, so people will constantly introduce him to him. While we are working, the senior squad leader on duty came over and asked. The master replied under the machine that he would definitely repair it before get off work at noon.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, it is the handover time between night shifts and morning shifts. People start to come and go in the workshop, which is a bit messy. In fact, there are two working hours in textile factories, and now enterprises are still like this. Like us, who come and go back in the morning and go back in the evening, it is called "Changbaishi". Like ordinary party and government organs and institutions, they work eight hours a day. There is another type called "four shifts and three operations", which means that a workshop is divided into four teams, and people go to work 24 hours a day, personnel change shifts, and machines keep turning. Each team finishes two morning shifts, two middle shifts, and two night shifts, rests two shifts, and then comes back to work morning shifts. This is the case all year round, and it repeats itself.

The drivers were in "four shifts and three operations". Shortly after they had finished changing shifts, Squad Leader Xu ran over quickly. As soon as he saw me, he waved his hand and shouted, "Xiao Wu, stop for a while. Director Tong is here, and he wants to greet everyone for a meeting."

I patted the master's calves exposed outside the machine and shouted twice before the master arched his body from under the machine. He raised his face and looked at Squad Leader Xu in anger. He threw the 7-inch wrench in his hand into the ground. His two thick eyebrows condensed into a lump: "What's the time to start now? Is the machine still repaired?"

Squad Leader Xu did not care about the master's attitude, and carefully explained along the way, "It's not that I want to have a meeting, it's the workshop that makes way out. Hurry up, my Uncle Lu."

When my master and I returned to the security class, everyone was basically here. Fatty Zhang hurried behind Master Huang and drank hot water. Xiao Li was whispering to the people next to me. When the two saw me and my master walking in, their eyes flashed and hid aside. Senior Brother Xiao Cai secretly greeted me and signaled me to sit next to him. I was about to step over, but the master grabbed me and pressed it on his own soil sofa.

The short and fat Director Tong hurried into the door with the workshop documents. Squad Leader Xu quickly stood up and gave the two of them to the specially empty chair beside him.

"I'll call you all for a meeting today because something happened in our workshop last Saturday." Director Tong's voice was as sharp as an old woman. He was a little angry as soon as he opened his mouth. "Working hours destroyed labor discipline, and he was 'big breasts', oh, no, Liu Juan's family found the factory department and said that it was people from our security class who were playing hooligans and hit the child. He asked us to deal with it seriously, otherwise he would never get it..."

Everyone didn't know it at first, but it was not until now that they understood it. All the eyes of sympathy, teasing, despicable, and disaster-lost disasters gathered on me, Fatty Zhang, Xiao Li, and I felt my heart tremble and my spine was chilling.

Director Tong gritted his teeth and cursed for a long time with a grudge. Every word was like a heavy mountain, constantly pressing on my heart. I didn't know that I had committed such a great sin. My heart, which had been humiliated, collapsed completely again. I don't know when Director Tong stayed in his mouth, but only saw Squad Leader Xu handing a cup of hot tea with a flattering look. A pair of cold eyes swept across everyone and stopped on my face.

"This...Director Tong said, do you understand? Liu Juan's child in the laboratory was injured, and the family is resolutely lenient now. What should you do? Wu Ping, let me tell you first, what was going on at that time?"

Dozens of eyes were like dozens of sharp swords, throwing them all over, piercing my unhealed heart. I felt a little ashamed, and my throat was choked in shame, and I even said a word. I glanced at the master beside me, and he stared straight ahead with expressionless expression. I remembered his explanation last night, trying to endure myself, so that the tears that were rolling in my eyes would flow down easily.

There was silence around me, and a needle was quietly dropped, which could be clearly distinguished. Fatty Zhang drooped his head, and Xiao Li looked lucky. Seeing that I was twitching and unable to speak, Squad Leader Xu turned his eyes to the two of them helplessly: "If Wu Ping doesn't say it, just talk about it, what's going on?"

Fatty Zhang's eyes were erratic and chuckled awkwardly. Xiao Li stroked the black hair on his cheeks, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and pretended to be innocent: "Don't you all look at us like this? Are you not the ones who are hurt by me and Lao Zhang? We were originally having fun with Wu Ping, but we didn't expect that this kid is so terrible, a little bite of the man, and he took the opportunity to rush into the arms of the 'big breasts'. We couldn't hold on, and finally ate someone's milk. That's what..."

Xiao Li's obscene words attracted ambiguous laughter. Seeing that Xiao Li wanted to continue talking nonsense, Director Tong lost his patience, "Stop talking nonsense! People say that the child is injured and requires 50 yuan for medical expenses. How many good things have we said before we didn't go to the police station. Now I won't say anything else, why do you pay for the money? "

"My mother, 50 yuan?"

"It's too dark to kill people?"

The room was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed. Squad Leader Xu waved his hands several times, but he couldn't stop the chaotic sound. Director Tong's fat face turned red. Squad Leader Xu quickly smiled and turned around and said loudly to everyone, "Let's do it like this, 50 yuan? Three people pay, Lao Zhang and Xiao Li 10 yuan each, Wu Ping... If you are the main perpetrator, just pay 30 yuan."

Before the Squad Leader Xu finished speaking, I didn't lift it up in one breath. I felt the darkness in front of me, and almost staggered from the stool. The master quickly grabbed my arm and fixed me firmly on the earthen sofa. I was so eager to cry. The apprentice only costs 12 yuan a month for the first year. I have not received a penny yet, so I will pay 30 yuan. If my father knows, will I still have a way out?

"Who wants Wu Ping to pay?" The master let go of my arm, threw the novel on the stool, and stood up slowly, "He is a primary school apprentice and doesn't even dare to eat hot rice every day. Where does it cost 30 yuan? If you really want to solve this problem, just deduct me, because I am his master!"

The master stared at Squad Leader Xu with a rebellious eyes, which made him look embarrassed twice, and he didn't know where to look. Squad Leader Xu glanced at Director Tong with help, but Director Tong pretended not to see him and ignored him.

"Brother Lu Yu, what money should you deduct? You are right." Squad Leader Xu grinned and said to the master with a smile on his face.

"I'm right? What's wrong with Wu Ping? Tell us all in front of Director Tong. Damn, if you have the courage to bully others, you should have the courage to support yourself. What kind of grandson is pretending to be a grandson now! Since you insist on letting Wu Ping be my apprentice, then I, the master, have to take care of my apprentice's business, and I will be sure to take care of it!" The master's tone was calm, but there was a solemn atmosphere.

There was no sound in the room, and no one was verbally speaking. I looked at the master with a trembling gaze, and my heart was filled with indescribable touch. I seemed to have never felt this kind of touch for my parents.

Director Tong looked embarrassed, Mung Dou's eyes rolled a little, turned his head and muttered a few words in Squad Leader Xu's ear, then pulled himself up and stood up: "The situation of this matter seems to be clear now. You can study and handle it yourself. Our factory department has a chance, so let's take a step first."

Director Tong turned around and left, and the follower's clerk hurriedly closed the small notebook prepared for the record and followed him happily.

Squad Leader Xu turned his face in a bad mood, glared at Xiao Li, who was still stalking his neck, and looked like he was not overwhelmed by the donkey, and spoke helplessly: "Just... Director Tong instructed that the workshop decided that this matter was mainly initiated by Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang paid 30 yuan, and Xiao Li also had a share, so he would pay 20 yuan. Wu Ping was passive, so he would be exempted, and the money would be deducted from his monthly salary and the meeting would be dispersed."

As soon as Squad Leader Xu finished speaking, Fatty Zhang and Xiao Li jumped up. Squad Leader Xu waved his hand in a shirk, frowned and ignored them, and walked quickly towards the door. Brother Xiao Cai, behind Fatty Zhang, made a victory gesture at me according to the habits of the Albanian guerrillas in the movie. Everyone stood up in a mess, packed their own things and prepared to continue working. The master told me, and then took the toolbox and left the door first.

"Don't make trouble with Lu Yu, boy." Xiao Li grabbed my sleeve and said viciously with a disobedient look on his face, "Do you know what he is? My parents are still counter-revolutionaries now."

"Let me go!" I snatched the live-on wrench of Senior Brother Xiao Cai and held it tightly in the palm of my hand.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Li didn't expect me to be like this. He was a little confused for a moment. After a moment of being stunned, he started to scream with a harsh and cowardly voice.

"If you dare to touch me again, I will fight you hard!" I suddenly shook Xiao Li's hand, waved the wrench, slammed on the chair where Xiao Li sat, and turned around and walked towards the door.

"I said Xiao Li, it seems that someone can remove your arm again."

Behind me, the old Master Huang laughed gloating.
