In the early morning, spring rain began to fall outside the house. The drizzle was drizzling and falling quietly along the eaves.

Xu Qing came out of the house, looked at the thin layer of water vapor covering the wet backyard, and stood at the door of the house, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Since entering the factory, his thoughts have been almost entirely focused on passing the regularization assessment.

Now that I have become a regular worker, I have become a first-level fitter. Not only has I got rid of my apprenticeship status, but I no longer need to go to the factory in advance.

At this moment, Xu Qing took a bench and sat outside the door, smoking a cigarette, secretly planning for the future in the quiet spring rain.

In terms of work, the next step is to work hard to get promoted step by step.

From first-level fitter, to second-level, to third-level...

As for making money through other channels, Xu Qing does not consider it for the time being.

These days, you need to be safe and sound to live a good life. If you jump around, something could easily happen.

Xu Qing still has no plans to make a living as a second-rate dealer like Xu Damao.

Xu Damao is alone. If something happens, he has nothing to worry about.

Xu Qing can't do it. His three younger brothers and sisters are still young and still studying, so they all rely on him.

Moreover, if you want to do it, do it big, or endure it and wait until 1978.

Before this, Xu Qing would only work in the factory to earn money.

It's not that he is timid, but Xu Qing knows very well what will happen in the coming years.

The wind is about to blow, so why stand on the cusp of it and risk your life.

Although doing business is the most profitable thing, if the time is wrong and you take risks, the gains outweigh the losses.

Besides, I have just sorted out my family affairs and my life is gradually improving, so there is no need to worry about it now.

In terms of relationships, he and Ma Jinghong get along pretty well, and they haven't had any conflicts yet, but I don't know if they will in the future.

As for girls, it would be strange if they didn’t have any temper, didn’t cross bridges, and didn’t make trouble unreasonably.

Thinking of his partner, a bright smile appeared on Xu Qing's face. He turned around and went into the house, took out a pen and paper, and while there was no one around in the early morning, he sat at the door of the house and wrote a love letter to Jinghong.

Firstly, it was just right to tell Jinghong about yesterday's promotion to a full-time job. Secondly, last month, he was trained by his master, Lao Zhang, and worked alone in the workshop from morning to night, so he had no time to write letters.

Although I have been thinking about it in my heart, I didn’t have time to write until today.

After writing the love letter, Xu Qing folded it and put it in his pocket. He returned to the house again and woke up the three little ones from their beds. After they were dressed, the four brothers and sisters went out together.

The three little ones went to school, and Xu Qingze, Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong went to the factory together.

Today is Xu Qing’s first day after becoming a full-time employee, and I feel relaxed and comfortable.

Especially when he thought about the salary increase from twenty-seven and a half yuan to thirty-five and a half yuan, Xu Qing felt more and more hopeful about his life.

The spring rain is still falling, covering the entire Sijiu City, as if after the New Year, the whole world needs to be cleaned.

Silly Zhu was holding a cigarette in his mouth, while stepping in the rain in the potholes, chatting with Xu Qing and the second uncle from time to time.

Qin Huairu has already gone to the factory. She is still an apprentice, so naturally she has to arrive early.

Liu Haizhong took a puff of cigarette, shook off the raindrops from the front of his poncho, turned to Xu Qing and asked:

"Have the factory talked to you these days?"

Xu Qing understood why the second uncle asked, smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"No."

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Qing with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But he said nothing and continued walking along the street towards the factory.

Xu Qing doesn’t expect the factory to do anything to him because of what he reported?

If you have it, it’s good, if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter.

Men, in the end, you still have to rely on yourself.

Xu Qing will definitely fight for what should be fought for, but in this matter, Xu Qing can't fight for it and can only listen to the factory.

If you take the initiative to go to the factory, the factory may give you an answer, but in that case, it will definitely not be particularly good.

It’s better to let nature take its course.

Besides, Xu Qing doesn’t plan to work in the factory for the rest of his life, but in this current environment, it’s hard to do anything, and he’s tied up no matter what he does. The only way to do it is to be an honest worker.

After entering the factory, Xu Qing separated from Shazhu and the second uncle, and then went to the third workshop alone.

In the workshop, Lao Zhang was already waiting for him.

Xu Qing passed the assessment yesterday, and the factory doesn’t know what arrangements will be made today.

Whether Xu Qing continues to stay in the third workshop or is transferred to another workshop, Lao Zhang does not know, nor does the workshop director.

However, there will usually be letters before the morning.

But until the afternoon, Xu Qing heard nothing, and no one came to the workshop to inform the workshop director.

According to the factory's practice, Xu Qing mostly stayed in the third workshop.

Xu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Er Mazi, Zhou Pingtai, the workshop director, Wang Dequan and others were also happy for Xu Qing to stay.

They have been together for more than half a year and have feelings for each other. If they were transferred away, they would not be able to let go.

Lao Zhang stood at the door of the workshop, smoking a cigarette, frowning slightly, with no expression on his face.

When a disciple becomes a disciple, he, as a master, is even more willing to keep his disciple by his side.

But Lao Zhang was thinking at this time, does the factory really intend to let the apprentices work in the workshop for a few years before being promoted?

How long has this been going on? The factory doesn’t even let out a fart. What kind of thing is this?

But there was no movement in the factory. Lao Zhang was dissatisfied and had no choice but to do anything.

Who knows what the leading cadres in the factory think about this kind of thing.

Lao Zhang couldn't think of a reason, so he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stopped trying to figure it out.

Let the factory do whatever they want.

Anyway, the apprentice is still staying with him in the third workshop, and Lao Zhang thinks it’s not bad.

When leaving the factory in the afternoon, Xu Qing handed the letter he wrote in the morning to Ma Jiefang.

Ma Jiefang stood at the door of the concierge, smiled, and at the same time reached out and took out a piece of paper.

"Brother Qingzi, I told my fifth sister last night about your job offer. She was so happy that she gave me this note early this morning."

Xu Qing took the note and carried it on his body. After chatting with Ma Jiefang for a while, he saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu coming over, so they left the factory together and headed back to the compound.

When he returned to the compound, the third uncle was squatting in the front yard. For the first time, he did not wipe his bicycle, but repaired the tire.

"Third uncle, the tire is punctured?"

Silly Zhu asked knowingly, causing Yan Bugui to roll his eyes.

"I saw it and asked, I don't know which bad boy scattered thumbtacks at the school gate today, which made me push my bicycle all the way back in the afternoon!"

Silly Zhu grinned, smiled, and reached out to pat the handlebars of the bicycle:

"Third uncle, what's the big deal? You don't get tired of riding a bicycle every day. You can just exercise by walking back."

Yan Bugui glanced at Shazhu angrily and was too lazy to argue with him.

Lower your head and continue to hold the screwdriver in your right hand, press the outer tire of the rim with your left hand, and try to pull out the inner tube.

Seeing this, Xu Qing squatted down and helped. Yan Bugui suddenly felt relieved. While pulling the inner tube, he complained to Silly Zhu:

"Silly Zhu, you boy should learn from Xu Qing's example. Just look at others and look at you, and you will know that you are causing trouble to people all day long, and you don't have any eyesight at all."

Silly Zhu curled his lips and sat astride the back seat of the bicycle, looking unconcerned.

It’s not that Si Zhu didn’t see it, but he didn’t want to help. The third uncle is stingy, so let him suffer on his own.

It only costs a few cents to repair a tire, but you still have to do it yourself.

And Xu Qing knew that besides wanting to save money, the third uncle was also uneasy about the people who repaired tires on the street. If someone did something wrong, the tire would be repaired for you and he would secretly do something for you in other aspects. In a few days,

God, we still have to go.

Another point is that the third aunt can't do this, and neither Yan Jiecheng nor Yan Jiefang can do it.

He had no choice but to put down his identity and start repairing the tire.

After Xu Qing helped Yan Bugui pull out the inner tube, he got up and headed back to the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard, Xu Fengming was holding a poncho and asking the old lady to help sew it. The little guy was naughty and spent everything.

He just bought a new poncho last year, but he already wore it out with several patches.
