At the door of the third workshop, Er Mazi couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard Xu Qing's words. The happy expression on his face suddenly froze, and was replaced by the previous nervousness and uneasiness.

My mood, which had calmed down a little, suddenly felt like it was rising in my throat again.

Because what Xu Qing said was not unreasonable.

After all, I have seen Chen Xiaojuan’s third sister and Er Mazi before.

If I were a talkative master, what happened last night might not have happened.

It's just that Section Chief Ma of the Security Department has already agreed to him. Although it was for Xu Qing's sake, he still gained some hope for him.

Er Mazi let out a long sigh, tilted his head outside the workshop, and stared straight at the factory gate.

However, the factory gate is now deserted, with no one around.

Er Mazi let out a breath, let go of Xu Qing's shoulders, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, lowered his head, and walked towards the vise where he was working, with an uneasy glance.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the morning. When Xu Qing and Er Mazi walked out of the workshop and went to the canteen to eat, the sun was hanging high in the sky.

It was indeed a sunny day, so clear that not even a single cloud could be seen, only the clear blue sky and the howling cold wind. But at this time, under the warm winter sun, the coldness was melting and dissipating like the remaining snow on the ground.<

/p>

Compared with the previous days, the weather was much warmer. Everyone in the factory ran out and rushed to the canteen while enjoying the hard-won warmth in winter.

As soon as Er Mazi came out of the workshop, he separated from Xu Qing and ran quickly towards Chen Xiaojuan's workshop.

After being on tenterhooks all morning, he was almost tortured. At this time, it was natural for him to quickly inquire about the situation.

Xu Qingze, his master Lao Zhang, and other workers in the workshop walked to the canteen together.

In fact, Lao Zhang had already noticed that Er Mazi was restless today, but he didn't ask what was wrong.

Firstly, Ermazi is not his apprentice, so Lao Zhang can't care about him. Secondly, there is a workshop director in the workshop, so Lao Zhang is too lazy to worry about it. Besides, Ermazi usually just idles around and doesn't want to make progress.

Although he is much better than Zhao Erlunzi, when compared with Xu Qing, he seems to be very unsatisfactory.

Now that Lao Zhang is over fifty, he doesn't bother to get involved in the trivial matters of everyone in the workshop. As people get older, their temperament becomes indifferent. He has seen many things before, so he naturally doesn't care.

Only when something big or important happened, would he come forward and say a few words.

What's more, Er Mazi is still a generation behind him.

In Lao Zhang's eyes, Er Mazi is no big deal as long as he doesn't poke a hole in the sky.

At the moment, Lao Zhang only cares about his apprentices. In any case, Xu Qing is the one he is most satisfied with among his many apprentices.

He was planning to marry his sixth daughter to Xu Qing, so of course he had to be careful.

Lao Zhang clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the big sun in the sky. He secretly thought to himself, over at the workers' newspaper, the people who came in the past few days have been gone for several days. In a few days, there should be newspaper articles from the factory.

The news comes out.

I am afraid that my apprentice will be in the newspapers when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang suddenly laughed and turned to look at Xu Qing beside him, feeling more and more that he was a good young man.

......

During the meal in the cafeteria, Xu Qing and his master, Lao Zhang, sat together.

Xu Qing still eats steamed buns and cabbage.

The food for apprentices is naturally a little worse, but Xu Qing doesn't care.

Just eat what you have. Nowadays, whoever dares to be picky may starve to death sooner or later.

Lao Zhang ate white flour steamed buns. His seniority was there, his salary was high, not to mention his grade, and the food was relatively better.

But it's not much better. As for the vegetables, there's just a little bit of oil, one or two more pieces of meat, and the rest is nothing. The rice soup is all cooked in the same pot, so there's no difference.

Xu Qing lowered his head and ate the steamed buns with big mouthfuls, picking up the cabbage. Lao Zhang looked at it, broke off a piece of steamed buns, and put it in Xu Qing's bowl.

"Boy, are you full after eating the steamed bun?"

Hearing Master Lao Zhang's words, Xu Qing looked at the extra white steamed buns in the bowl, raised his head and smiled innocently.

"Master, you are full. Don't worry, I will eat two steamed buns to last until I get off work."

Lao Zhang looked at Xu Qing, shook his head with a wry smile, said nothing more, and ate his meal.

At this time, Er Mazi had just made a meal and came over with a lunch box.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Xu Qing knew that Er Mazi had just gone to see Chen Xiaojuan and was afraid that he had not heard the good news.

But due to the large number of people in the cafeteria, Xu Qing did not ask how it was.

It wasn't until after finishing the meal that Lao Zhang left first, that Xu Qing and Er Mazi left the cafeteria and started talking in a low voice.

"Xu Qing, I think I'm going to die today. Xiaojuan said that her third sister and her mother will definitely come to the factory."

Er Mazi pulled a face, his eyes full of despair.

Xu Qing frowned and thought: "Er Mazi, don't panic, just calm down. Nothing happened this morning. If nothing happens in the afternoon, it means that Section Chief Ma has suppressed the matter for you.

”

When Er Mazi heard Xu Qing's words, his frown relaxed slightly, and he turned towards the factory gate and looked anxiously again.

After the factory bell rang in the afternoon, Er Mazi, who had been anxious all day, collapsed to the ground with a pop.

The co-workers around him thought Er Mazi was exhausted.

And Xu Qing knows that Er Mazi is not tired at all, but is completely happy to survive the disaster.

Nothing happened the whole day, and Er Mazi escaped for the time being.

Xu Qing walked up to Er Mazi, saw Er Mazi grinning silly, raised his hand to help him up, and walked out of the workshop together.

Outside the workshop, everyone in the factory was already walking towards the factory gate in small groups.

Er Mazi said to Xu Qing with a grateful face:

"Brother, I really want to thank you very much today. Come on, please go to a restaurant."

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Forget it, you'd better go back and discuss with your parents quickly how to solve the problem completely. We don't have to go out to the restaurant. We'll talk about it later."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he paused and then said: "By the way, Er Mazi, you have to thank Section Chief Ma. If he hadn't helped you suppress the matter today, you might have become 'famous' in the factory.

”

Er Mazi nodded quickly and said, "Isn't that right? Thanks to Section Chief Ma and you, otherwise, I would really be in trouble today!"

As Er Mazi said this, he reached out and took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Qing to express his gratitude.

Xu Qing took the cigarette and asked Er Mazi to leave quickly.

Er Mazi stopped talking and said to Xu Qing, "See you tomorrow."

Then Sayazi rushed towards the factory gate.

Xu Qing took the lighter out of his pocket, lit the cigarette, and watched Er Mazi's figure turn into black dots in the blink of an eye. He smoked and calmly walked towards the factory gate.
