The third workshop of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant is where Xu Qing works.

However, it was empty at this time.

Because he is an apprentice, Xu Qing cannot make parts by himself using a bench.

My daily job is to help the master and other workers and deal with some unimportant details. At the same time, the master stands aside and studies while using the vise.

Therefore, Xu Qing comes half an hour early every day.

Think about it yourself.

After all, Master Lao Zhang also has to support his family, so he can't teach you step by step all day long.

In addition, teaching the disciples and starving the master to death is a principle that has existed since ancient times.

Although Lao Zhang is a good person, he only explains some core things, and Xu Qing has to figure out the rest.

However, Xu Qing has basically mastered the technical essentials of being a fitter in just half a year.

I just have to wait until next spring when the factory organizes the fitter assessment and pass it in one fell swoop.

Once you become a first-level fitter, your monthly salary can increase from 27.5 yuan to 35.5 yuan.

By then.

Life will be easier.

Then use the ‘split in two’ ability gained during time travel.

Cut the items you bought into two.

In fact, Xu Qing now uses this ability every month.

But even so, we are still struggling to make ends meet, struggling to make ends meet, and living on tight belts.

Behind him are two younger brothers and a younger sister, all three of whom are studying.

The expenses are surprisingly high.

The second brother, Xu Aiguo, is in the second grade of junior high school.

The third brother, Xu Fengming, just entered junior high school from Hongxing Primary School this year.

As for the younger sister, Xu Xiaoya, she is still in the fourth grade of elementary school. She is at the age of innocence and brilliance. She likes to wear two black braids and act coquettishly in front of the eldest brother Xu Qing.

The three of them are all in the stage of growing up, so nutrition cannot be ignored.

Xu Qing divided the white flour, corn noodles, eggs, and other things he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative into two, which could only alleviate the financial constraints of life.

This ability has a flaw, that is, it can only divide the original object once, and it is invalid for money. Food stamps and meat stamps are not a problem.

In fact, Xu Qing also thought about asking someone to borrow things and then use this ability to harvest wool.

But the problem is, firstly, some things using this ability will not work.

He tried the benches in the house, but they were of no use at all.

On the contrary, the white noodles that were scolded can be easily divided into two parts.

Besides, his parents are both dead now. Who would lend something to a half-grown child like him? After all, he is not yet an adult.

In addition, these days, everyone’s pockets are tight, and life is not easy for oneself, so how can one lend it to others?

Xu Qing once borrowed food stamps from Liu Haizhong, the second uncle who lived in the backyard. It wasn't much, just three taels.

As a result, the second uncle nagged for a long time, and not only refused to borrow it, but also persuaded the second aunt to come out and cry about poverty.

After that, Xu Qing never borrowed anything from anyone in the compound.

Fortunately, the three younger brothers and sisters are quite upbeat and have excellent academic performance. They come back with certificates of merit every now and then.

This relieved Xu Qing a lot.

Now that his parents are gone, Xu Qing, the eldest brother, has to take on the responsibilities of his parents.

Before anyone else came, Xu Qing used a vise to make a part by himself.

Although the precision is still not as good as Master Lao Zhang’s level.

But according to the factory's factory standards, it is already qualified.

After exhaling, Xu Qing wiped the hot sweat from his forehead.

When I looked up, I saw Master Lao Zhang, wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded shoes, standing at the door of the workshop with a hard door in his mouth and stamping the snow on his feet.

"Drink, kid, I didn't expect that it's snowing today and I'm here so early. I'm promising!"

Lao Zhang grinned, took a puff of cigarette, and saw the parts in Xu Qing's hand.

He immediately walked over.

He held it in his hand and played with it for a while. A hint of surprise suddenly flashed through his slightly squinted eyes.

"You did it?"

"Yeah"

Xu Qing nodded.

Lao Zhang laughed.

"Not bad, it's already very good, better than what Li Dahuzi did back then."

"Li Dahuzi, that little bastard, worked as an apprentice for three years and studied with me for three years before he could barely make a qualified job. I didn't expect that you surpassed him in just half a year, haha...

”

"After the New Year, when the factory takes the assessment next year, Master will sign up for you."

Xu Qing grinned and said nothing.

Lao Zhang continued to play with the parts Xu Qing had just made.

While smoking, I took it outside the workshop door and looked at it in the light.

After looking at it carefully for a while.

Lao Zhang was secretly surprised.

I feel that Xu Qing’s performance is almost catching up with him.

Whether it is the precision of the thread or the grinding, it is excellent.

It's not comparable to Li Dahuzi.

If he hadn't taken it out and looked at it, he would have almost been blinded just now.

Seeing that Xu Qing could master it in such a short period of time, Lao Zhang was very happy.

After all, the number of apprentices he has led are not only thirty, but also fifty.

But no one has been able to make such good parts during his apprenticeship.

He turned and glanced at Xu Qing, who was busy packing his things.

Lao Zhang suddenly fell in love with Xu Qing from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of which, Xu Qing is the smartest among his apprentices!

You can understand it in just one click, and you can understand it in just one explanation.

There is no need to repeat it a second time.

And he works seriously and is never lazy.

Compared with the apprentices I taught in the past, they are all better.

Looking at the snowflakes that are still falling in the sky.

Lao Zhang threw the cigarette butt into the snow.

Suddenly I remembered that Xu Qing seems to be seventeen this year.

After the Chinese New Year, you are now eighteen, almost the age to marry a wife.

I thought that Xu Qing was the smartest and smartest among the many disciples I had brought, and his temper was also to my liking.

Lao Zhang secretly thought: Otherwise, betroth his sixth daughter to him.

Although Xu Qing dropped out of school halfway, it is a pity that his parents are no longer here.

But I had a pretty good relationship with Xu Qing’s parents in the past, and since Xu Qing became an apprentice with me, I have been getting along well with each other during this period.

I didn’t notice anything bad.

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhang decided to go back and discuss the matter with his wife at night.
