(27) Overtime tonight
The master did not come on Monday morning, and Squad Leader Xu arranged for me to work with Fatty Zhang. I was extremely excited all morning. This uncontrollable happiness made Senior Brother Cai suspicious again. He secretly asked me with Fatty Zhang on his back: "What good thing did you encounter? Did your father tell you about his wife in his hometown?"
I patted his thin spine and said sympathetically: "I see you have been absent-minded these days. Are you looking for a wife?"
Senior Brother Xiao Cai pursed his lips and responded sweetly: "Don't say it, am I really looking for a wife?"
"Where?" I asked curiously.
"It's not decided yet, I'll tell you when it's settled." Senior Brother Xiao Cai kept it a secret, turned around and continued to work, and there was no further information.
It was not until noon that the master hurriedly entered the door and saw Squad Leader Xu saying sorry, but he didn't catch the shuttle bus back to the county in the morning. Squad Leader Xu smiled and said it was okay. Looking at Squad Leader Xu's flattering look, Fatty Zhang snorted dissatisfiedly. The master turned around and pretended not to hear it, but just frowned slightly, and asked me to take the tools to go out to work.
When it was about to get off work in the evening, Squad Leader Xu came to count the number of overtime work that month. After reading the overtime record, he asked who else had missed it? Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, he signed the record book and raised his head and clicked me: "Xiao Wu, please go to the second floor and send it to the workshop statistics room."
I have the least qualifications in the class of preservation, and I basically do the errands. I took the record book from Squad Leader Xu. I walked through the large workshop and climbed onto the second floor of the workshop. When I passed by the laboratory, I glanced at it sideways. In the half-open door, Liu Juan, big breasts, was joking with several female workers. I remembered that I was beaten by these women last time and still felt a vague pain in my heart.
He pushed open the door of the workshop statistics room and saw no sign of Xinhong. Only a middle-aged woman with a cold face was sitting behind a desk inside.
"Is Yin Hong here?" I asked softly.
"Why are you looking for her again?" The cold middle-aged woman didn't raise her head and curled her lips disdainfully.
"I haven't looked for her." I didn't turn around for a while and explained casually.
"I didn't say to you? She asked the factory to call him away and said Secretary Cui was looking for her." The cold and stern woman glanced at me.
"Secretary Cui..." I was shocked and couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Are you here to suppose the report? Put the things on her desk, and I'll tell her when I look back." The cold and stern woman added with a stern face and lowered her head.
I was a little disappointed when I didn't see Yin Hong. I remembered the words of a cold-faced woman. A secretary from a large factory with a thousand people directly found a female worker in the workshop. What would happen? I was suspicious and returned to the security class anxiously. Everyone was about to pack up their things and get off work. At this time, the phone number placed in the corner of the wall suddenly rang. Fatty Zhang answered it casually. Hearing the voice of Director Tong, he handed it to Squad Leader Xu standing beside him.
After hearing the phone, Squad Leader Xu was a little unhappy and turned his face to look at everyone and said, "Director Tong called just now. The coal delivery machine in the boiler workshop malfunctioned and the electromechanical workshop could not find anyone after get off work. The factory department asked us to help repair it and see who would like to go?"
Before Squad Leader Xu finished speaking, Fatty Zhang raised his hand and said, "I'll go, is it considered overtime?"
Fatty Zhang took the initiative to ask for overtime, which surprised everyone. Even Squad Leader Xu was a little confused and looked at his fat face with confusion: "Would you like to go?"
"Just count as overtime." Fatty Zhang agreed readily, "But I have to bring two people there."
Everyone didn't know what the bad idea Zhang had, so they stood there and looked at him blankly. Squad Leader Xu thought to hand over the task quickly, and then agreed: "Yes, except for Xiao Cai, do you think Xiao Wu can do it?"
"Okay." Fatty Zhang agreed in one go.
I knew I couldn't run away, so I looked at the master beside me with a bitter look on my face. The master patted my shoulder, turned my head and asked Squad Leader Xu, "The two apprentices are considered overtime, right?"
"It's considered overtime, of course it's considered overtime." Squad Leader Xu nodded and agreed.
"The coal delivery machine is dangerous to operate at high altitudes, so you must fasten your seat belt." After the master told me, he deliberately looked at Fatty Zhang.
"Of course, of course, you must pay attention to safety." Fatty Zhang squinted his small eyes and smiled at the master a little charmingly.
After the team leader Xu arranged the work, everyone was relieved. When the security team was empty, Fatty Zhang took out a few meal tickets and asked Xiao Cai and I to go to the cafeteria to have dinner first. His abnormal behavior made Xiao Cai and I feel a little guilty and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Xiao Wu, take Xiao Cai and finish the meal quickly. The task tonight is not light. I'll prepare it first. After you finish the meal, hurry to the boiler room." Fatty Zhang forced me the meal ticket in his hand.
Looking at Fatty Zhang, she turned around and left with a smile. Xiao Cai and I didn't recover for a long time. This guy who was extremely stingy suddenly turned out to be normal today. It really makes people suspect that there is a trap behind him.
I couldn't care about that much, so I greeted Senior Brother Xiao Cai: "Let's have dinner. There are really few people in the security class who have eaten Zhang's meal tickets."
When we arrived at the cafeteria to buy meals, we found that this Fatty Zhang was too calculating. The maximum denomination he gave us was not more than 2 cents. Senior Brother Xiao Cai and I planned for a long time before buying four steamed buns and a plate of bean sprouts fried vermicelli. Senior Brother Xiao Cai ate and complained while citing, listing all kinds of discomforts he had with Fatty Zhang to apprentice. I heard that he was full of bitterness and felt more and more correct and happy that he was following the master.
After dinner, Senior Brother Xiao Cai and I left the cafeteria. In early spring, the temperature difference was large and the climate was unstable. A few days ago, it was warm and cooled again today. There was a cold air in the darkness. The boiler room was at the innermost part of the factory area, close to the southwest wall of the bathroom. We should have walked south, but out of dissatisfaction with Fatty Zhang's stinginess, I suggested that the two of them take a turn to eliminate food. Senior Brother Xiao Cai knew what I meant, so he agreed happily, and they walked north in the opposite direction.
The moon only revealed a curved body, and the dark blue sky reflected countless stars. Walking on the asphalt road hidden by street lights, except for the sound of machines coming from the workshop, the noise of the day was lost around me. I whistled. Senior Brother Xiao Cai sang softly with my song. This is an interlude in the Albanian movie "I would rather die than surrender". Everyone in our era could sing.
Go up the mountain quickly, warriors!
We join the guerrillas in the spring,
The enemy's doom is coming soon,
Our motherland is about to be free and liberated.
"Destroy fascism, freedom belongs to the people!" Senior Brother Cai raised his fist angrily.
"Destroy fascism, freedom belongs to the people!" I also raised my fist in the darkness.
The two of them were talking and laughing all the way, and before they knew it, they walked to the factory gate. Senior Brother Xiao Cai turned around and prepared to walk back, but I reached out and grabbed it.
"Let's go around here and go around the boiler room." I pointed to the Metasequoia Road leading to the factory and suggested to Senior Brother Xiao Cai.
"Okay, let that fat man Zhang wait a little longer." Senior Brother Cai nodded immediately.
There are only two street lights on Metasequoia Road, because this road is mainly carried by factory staff, and now there is no one after get off work, and it is a bit gloomy and a little scary. Senior Brother Xiao Cai and I stopped talking for a while.
The factory building was right in front of me. I suddenly saw two people pulling silently in the dim street light in front of the door. I suddenly felt excited and stopped quickly.
"Look at the front, is there someone fighting?" I said with a look of shock in the shadow of the tree.
Senior Brother Xiao Cai was startled and stretched his neck to look forward: "There is nothing, you are hysterical."
"Nothing?" I was still scared. When I looked at it carefully, the shadows of the trees were swaying and the lights were dim, so there was nothing left.
"You are a little abnormal these two days. Are you confused?" Senior Brother Xiao Cai looked at me in confusion.
Could it be that I had hallucinations? I muttered uneasyly in my heart, and glanced at the dark little building again.
Chapter completed!
