On the night when my father left, an important news was broadcast on the loudspeakers in the county town. The provincial party committee decided to restore the reputation of Comrade Lu Jingqiu, who was persecuted to death in the ten years of turmoil.

The next day, when people in the workshop were still talking about this news, an announcement of "Appointing Comrade Lu Yu as the factory secretary" was posted in the publicity column at the entrance of the factory.

In the workshop preservation class, as soon as the old Master Huang got to work, he sat on Lu Yu's earthen sofa and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "This boy Lu Yu, the hard life has ended."

"He has lived a hard life, but he has only been in the village for a few days?" Fatty Zhang rolled his eyes at the old Master Huang, "We have been digging food in the fields for generations, and we have been a hard-working and tiring maintenance worker in the factory for the rest of our lives. We are the hard-working and hard-working maintenance workers."

"That is, the preservation worker can be promoted to a cadre, so that we will never dare to think about it in our entire life!" Another thin master also said.

A bunch of Mao Xiaoli curled his lips: "A thousand words are ten thousand, but people are different from others. My uncle said that Lu Yu's mother was rehabilitated and she just became the Organization Minister in the Prefectural Committee."

There was no sound in the room, and Fatty Zhang's face turned purple, "Everything is nonsense, dragon gives birth to dragon, phoenix gives birth to phoenix, rat gives birth to babies, and only holes can be made. It has been the same since ancient times."

"You gave birth to a son, you don't even need to punch a hole. You have opened all the holes." Old Master Huang saw Fatty Zhang's angry look and couldn't help but tease him.

"That's right, the holes in the factory lead to your yard." The others also burst into laughter, making Fatty Zhang so angry that he was like a pig blowing, and gasping for breath.

Before getting off work in the evening, the short and fat Director Tong and the follower's clerk came to the security class. In everyone's surprised and puzzled eyes, Director Tong's pair of green bean eyes stopped on my face: "Don't be busy leaving, now, I'll announce a decision in the workshop."

Director Tong's stupid words made everyone a little confused for a moment. Xiao Li licked his face and walked up without knowing it, hugging Director Tong's short and thick neck: "Boss Tong, what's the big deal? Are you going to think about deducting our bonus this month?"

Before Xiao Li finished speaking, the security class started to chaotic. Fatty Zhang and Master Huang couldn't help but walk forward to argue with Director Tong.

"Director Tong, you just think about deducting money from us and sucking the blood and sweat of us who do coolies all day?"

"If the workshop really dares to do this, don't blame us for going to the factory for trouble?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Director Tong's pair of mung bean eyes widened, and he stammered his neck in anger, and broke free from Xiao Li's hands, "You bastard, 'a tug of hair', if you make trouble like this, you will not punish you, and you will deduct your bonus. Don't blame me for not giving your uncle face!"

When Squad Leader Xu saw that Xiao Li was making a fuss, he quickly stopped everyone and smiled at Director Tong with a flattering look: "Director Tong, Xiao Li usually plays with the ball, don't be as good as him."

Squad Leader Xu turned his face, glanced at everyone, and said sternly: "Don't make trouble, listen to Director Tong's speech, who said he would deduct everyone's bonus? It's shameful to spread rumors!"

Everyone gradually became quiet. Squad Leader Xu directed Senior Brother Xiao Cai to move a chair and wanted to ask Director Tong to sit down. Director Tong was still angry and waved his hand red: "Forget it, just stand and say it like this, just a few words. This... I think everyone may know the news that Comrade Lu Yu was promoted to the factory department, so based on such an actual situation, after research and decision in the workshop, I prepared to make corresponding adjustments to Comrade Wu Ping's work..."

Before Director Tong finished speaking, Fatty Zhang became excited and started shouting at Squad Leader Xu: "Old Xu, I won't take this Wu Ping anymore. If you find a master for him, just look for Lao Huang. Now a little Cai is enough for me to worry about."

Xiao Li heard Fatty Zhang's yell and stabbed me in a disaster: "Look at your popularity, I said you can't get along with Lu Yu, right? You are not a member of him at all. Can you still rely on your power and pretend to be a turtle grandson and bear?"

"Pretending to be your mother's grandson!" I suddenly punched Xiao Li and almost staggered him.

"Lu Yu is gone, you kid dare to be arrogant?" Xiao Li was a little angry for a moment, but when he looked at me with a stern look, he knew that he could not make any profit, so he did not dare to fight back.

"Old Zhang, why are you making trouble? Who said Wu Ping wants to be your apprentice? He just wants to be your apprentice. Do you see yourself like a master?" Squad leader Xu was anxious and looked at Fatty Zhang with an angry look on his face.

Director Tong's emotions had calmed down, and he nodded at Squad Leader Xu in peace, thinking about finishing the rest of his words: "Okay, long story short, Lu Yu can't take his apprentice anymore. Wu Ping has no master. As Lao Zhang said, we are all very busy and don't want to take his apprentice anymore, so the workshop decided to transfer Wu Ping from the security class to the electrician class."

Director Tong's words, like a thunderbolt, suddenly shocked everyone. After a while, Xiao Li widened his eyes and asked with a puzzled look: "Director Tong, are you kidding?"

The security class was silent, and all eyes were staring at Director Tong. Director Tong's fat face seemed to have chicken blood, and it suddenly turned red. He glared at Xiao Li with his small green bean eyes dissatisfied: "Are you used to jokes? You can also joke about the organization's decisions!"

"Why?" Fatty Zhang suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Director Tong. "Even if 'one person is able to achieve the Tao, the chicken and dog are going to heaven' is not such a way of 'elevating', right? He... isn't Xiao Wu just an apprentice? Why can he go to the electrician class?"

Director Tong glanced at Fatty Zhang disdainfully and said a little unhappy: "You are talking nonsense again. Don't say these unprincipled words. This is decided by the organization and is the need of revolutionary work. You are also an old comrade, so how can you have so many strange words!"

"Then... let me do other revolutionary work? I don't want to do this bird preservation work anymore!" Xiao Li slammed the black hair on his cheek and shouted disobediently.

Director Tong knew that the public was unpleasant, so he nodded at Squad Leader Xu, raised his jaw at the "flying bug" who had already turned pale with fright, left the room with an emotional guardian, and hurried out.

Director Tong slapped his butt and left, the people who were originally making noise in the room suddenly lost their target and gradually disappeared. I stood in the crowd awkwardly, listening to everyone's talk just now, and for a moment I felt a little ashamed.

"Okay, everyone gets off work."

Squad Leader Xu made everyone disperse, Fatty Zhang and Xiao Li muttered, and the others began to pack up their tools and prepare to take a shower.

Squad leader Xu walked to me, patted my shoulder gently, smiled at me weirdly, and lay on my shoulder and said, "You are so lucky. You were not old enough to take over the shift. I just worked for two days and got transferred to the electrician team. In fact, it wasn't me who found a good master for you, but your father had found a good apprentice himself."

Squad Leader Xu's voice was not loud, but I knew everyone heard it. He did this on purpose. This was a man who had been experienced and had complicated scheming. He wanted to explain the reason in this way, so as to excuse me and block everyone's mouths.

Without the master, I felt empty. I packed up my tools alone, took my clothes and left the workshop. Senior Brother Xiao Cai followed me at some point and called me behind me.

"Why haven't you gone to take a shower yet?" I asked in confusion.

"I'm waiting for you. Wu Ping, we are friends, why are you so lucky? I followed a good master and transferred a good job." Senior Brother Xiao Cai said with envious expression.

"Senior brother, don't say that for now. The ancients said, 'It's a blessing to lose my horse'. This may not be a good thing. In fact, you can't understand the reason at all." I sighed.

"What's the reason for this? You kid have been studying recently and have been pretentious." Senior Brother Xiao Cai was obviously dissatisfied with my answer.

"Really, the reason here is not that I don't tell you, but that I didn't think it through for a while. Anyway, the ancients said nothing wrong."

Seeing that I did not pretend, but looked worried, Senior Brother Xiao Cai lost his words for a while. A group of female workers who had taken a shower came towards us, blushing and white-skinned passing by us. I looked at them empty, but I lost my usual heartbeat.
