On Monday, I got up early and went to the water table in the front yard to wash, the bright red room on the second floor was still not moving. Because there were still some debris in the security room, I wanted to take it away quietly, so I ate something and walked towards the factory.

It wasn't until work time, and the living area was quiet. I crossed the road and entered the factory. I walked under the green sycamore tree. I heard the monotonous sound of machines in my ears and felt a sense of intimacy that I had never felt before. I walked through the large workshop, came to the door of the security room, opened the hidden lock on the door. When I packed up my things and was about to leave, I couldn't help looking around the room, and finally landed on the earthen sofa. I felt a little nostalgic. I smiled for a while before I closed the door and left.

I hugged a small cardboard box and went to the power distribution room in front of the workshop. I gently pushed open the door. A master on duty raised his head.

"What happened in the workshop?" He thought I was asking him to repair the machine, so he stood up lazily with the electrician bag beside him.

"It's okay, I... I'm here to find Captain Xia." I saw that he understood what he meant wrongly, and hurriedly explained a little shyly.

"He just came to work, it's too early now." The master on duty glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said in a little puzzled manner.

"It's okay, I'm here to report, just wait for him." I put down the cardboard box in my hand.

"Where...you sit there, it's still an hour before going to work." The master on duty pulled me a bench and let me sit by the wall.

Just after 8 o'clock, Squad Leader Xia came. This is a middle-aged man in his forties. He heard that he used to be a mechanic on a naval submarine and moved to our yarn mill. His skills were very good.

"You are Master Wu's son? You were Lu Yu's apprentice during the preservation. Director Tong told me that you are welcome to our electrician team." Captain Xia was very friendly and greeted with a smile.

"I'm here to be your apprentice." After knowing that Captain Xia is familiar with his father, I felt a natural sense of intimacy in my heart.

"Don't be my apprentice, I've found a master for you." As Captain Xia was speaking, a gray-haired and clean-looking master walked in. Captain Xia grabbed him, "Master Liu, you are on the morning shift today. This is the Xiao Wu I told you. It turns out that the child of Master Wu, the electrician in our living area, comes here to report today, and I'll be your apprentice."

Master Liu looked at me with kind eyes and nodded: "Okay, just follow me."

Master Liu spoke in a soft southern accent, not as hard as the people here, so I quickly took a step forward, bowed deeply, and called respectfully: "Master Liu."

The early summer sun poured down from the skylight on the roof of the workshop, illuminating a huge workshop bright and warm. I followed the newly recognized Master Liu and patrolled around the workshop. Behind my butt was a brand new cowhide electrician bag, filled with new boards, vises, pens, screwdrivers, and a multimeter in my hand. From time to time, I would encounter the most spicy gazes of several small blockers, which made me feel a sense of vanity and satisfaction while shy and nervous.

"Hey-Hello, are you an electrician?" As I walked past a row of parallel machines, the big forehead girl she knew greeted me affectionately.

"I just came to the electrician class." I glanced at her rosy face that had not changed yet, and hurried over.

"Hehe, Xiao Meihua, are you interested in someone?" I heard someone laughing behind me.

"I just like him, how about you? Don't you like it?" The girl with a big forehead named Xiao Meihua was a cheerful person and admitted directly without any concealment. The girls' joking sounds made Master Liu hear it. He glanced at me jokingly, and my face turned red.

For a whole day, I followed Master Liu and basically figured out the work flow of the workshop electricians because it is necessary to ensure 24-hour power supply. The work and rest time of the workshop electrician team and the maintenance class is different. It is the same as the "four shifts and three operations" as the blocker. There are two masters in a class. If there are apprentices, we follow our master on duty. In addition to ensuring the power supply of the entire workshop, we have to go to the workshop to inspect every hour or so to see if there are any problems and safety hazards. Because all the machines in the workshop run 24 hours a day, once they break down and lose power, the blocker will come to the distribution room to find us immediately. The electricians on duty need to judge the circuit fault and repair it in time. If the motor is burned, they have to disassemble it, replace it with a backup motor, and send it to the electromechanical workshop for repair.

Master Liu is an old technician who came from Jiangnan in the 1960s. He is humble, has excellent skills, and is familiar with his father. He treats me very kindly. But I always call him "Master Liu", instead of just calling him "Master" like Lu Yu, because in my heart, "Master" has become my special name for Lu Yu.

In addition to Master Liu, we are on duty today, there is also Master Wan. Master Wan also brought an apprentice named Wang. Senior Brother Xiao Wang lives in the county town. He looks a little background and speaks very loudly. After get off work, the four of us went to the bathroom to take a shower. Master Liu and Master Wan went home. Senior Brother Xiao Wang asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. He said there was a new movie in the cinema in the factory today. Since the master left the security class, I have lost the source of my study and was worried about how to pass the time at night. Senior Brother Xiao Wang's proposal was immediately approved by me.

We both left the factory gate and came to the living area. At the entrance of the factory cinema, I took out my money and thought about going to the ticket purchase window to buy tickets, but was grabbed by Senior Brother Xiao Wang.

"What are you doing?" he asked disdainfully, holding my hand tightly.

"Buy a ticket, I'll invite you to watch a movie." I looked at him in confusion.

"What tickets should I buy? Let's go--" Senior Brother Xiao Wang pulled me and went straight to the stairs.

"Hey--your ticket." The thin man who was checking the ticket at the door reached out to stop us.

"Didn't you see it, from the electrician team?" Senior Brother Xiao Wang glanced at the thin man in dissatisfaction.

"I know you are from the electrician class, so I asked him for a ticket." The thin man pointed at me and said.

"He is also from the electrician class." Senior Brother Xiao Wang's tone suddenly rose octave.

"It's okay for you to watch the movie, but outsiders must buy tickets when they come." The thin man's voice also increased.

"Forget it, forget it, I'd better buy a ticket." Seeing the two of them choked, I hurriedly rescued the situation.

"Xiao Wu, just sit here and wait. Someone will invite you in to watch a movie later." Senior Brother Xiao Wang pressed me on the bench next to the door, and added sternly, "Don't leave, don't buy tickets, I'll go and come back."

Senior Brother Xiao Wang turned around and left. I sat there in great embarrassment, either leaving or not leaving. About less than ten minutes later, a noise suddenly came from the cinema.

"Damn it, the movie has just been released, why is the power outage?" The duty teacher of the cinema ran out and saw the thin man hurriedly shouting, "Go and call the factory and see what's going on?"

Just when everyone was making a fuss, Senior Brother Xiao Wang came back. He blinked at me comfortably and sat beside me.

"Oh, brother Xiao Wang, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The duty teacher hurried to us and saw Senior Brother Xiao Wang invite him with a warm look on his face, "This is Xiao Wu, I won't say much more. Let's go in and watch the movie."

Senior Brother Xiao Wang did not answer, stood up and looked at the thin man reservedly. The thin man who was checking the ticket looked angry and turned his face aside helplessly.

"Let's go in and watch the movie." Senior Brother Xiao Wang waved his head at me.

"This movie is good. Mr. Chen Peisi is so funny, and Liu Xiaoqing..." The master was leading us in front and chatting enthusiastically.
