The factory had an extra meal today, including red braised pork. Workers rushed into the cafeteria with their lunch boxes. When they arrived late, there was only soup, not meat.

Gao Xiaoguang didn't go to the cafeteria to get food.

Instead, he left the factory and returned to the courtyard. On the way, he saw that no one had entered the space, so he made a dish of braised pork, fried some vegetables, and put them in the lunch box.

Seeing that the corn in the black area was ripe, he harvested the corn with his mind, put some pheasant eggs in a cloth bag and left the space.

"Sister, I'm back."

Gao Xiaoguang walked into the side room. His sister stood up to greet him. He handed her the lunch box and cloth bag. "Sister, the factory has a snack today. It includes your favorite braised pork."

"Little brother, you are weak to begin with. You can eat this meat yourself. I won't eat it." Gao Xiaoshan, who was wearing a patched and floral dress, swallowed.

"I brought this specially for you. If you don't want to eat it, then I won't eat it either."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her younger brother, Gao Xiaoshan took out some cornmeal steamed bread and they both had a delicious meal.

After dinner, Gao Xiaoguang took out a letter of introduction and 9 feet of cloth coupons and handed them to his sister, and asked her to pack up. The two of them took the bus to the cotton mill.

When he arrived at the cotton mill, Gao Xiaoguang gave the guard a few cigarettes and showed him his work permit and letter of introduction.

More than ten minutes later, the master's wife Hou Guilan, who was wearing work clothes, took the two in.

Under the guidance of her mother, Gao Xiaoshan completed the employment procedures in half an hour. She smiled and held her work clothes and labor protection supplies.

Without telling his sister, he stuffed the envelope containing 20 large black coins into the hands of his teacher's wife and expressed his gratitude.

"Xiao Gao, I have informed the workshop director to give your sister three days off so that she can handle the household registration and food grain book." Hou Guilan said.

"Thank you, Master."

"Why are you being so polite to me, kid?" Hou Guilan pretended to be angry and had a stern face.

Gao Xiaoguang chuckled a few times.

"By the way, the textile factory is currently short of housing. Your sister will live in the staff dormitory first. When there are housing quotas in the future, we will allocate a house to your sister."

Housing is already tight in Beijing, and there are conditions for allocating housing. For example, if single Gao Xiaoshan wants to get a house, she must work for three years and get married before she can get one.

Gao Xiaoguang's housing allocation was specially approved by the leaders of the machinery factory.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master's wife."

After being given another cold stare by the master's wife, the three of them exchanged a few words, and Gao Xiaoguang took his sister to the department store and bought 9 feet of cloth and a pair of sandals.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of Erguotou, a bag of brown sugar, a pack of Dachan, and two bottles of canned fruit.

When the two were purchasing, Chief Engineer Wang of the First Ministry of Machine Building led several experts to conduct front-door acceptance inspection of the camshaft lathe.

"Old Wang, was this really designed by a technical secondary school student?" The gray-haired old man, about sixty years old, asked excitedly.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe it, but the technology level of the camshaft lathe in front of him is already ahead of its big brother.

"Ah."

Chief Engineer Wang was also very excited.

Combining multiple data, this camshaft lathe can not only improve the domestic automobile industry, but also improve textile and other equipment.

This lathe technology fills the gap in domestic machine tools.

If it weren't for Gao Xiaoguang's age and status, Chief Engineer Wang would have wanted to apply for the "First Class Merit" for Gao Xiaoguang.

"Old Wang, I have to criticize you. Young comrade doesn't understand, and you don't understand yet?

Keeping such a good comrade at the machinery factory would be a waste and a crime against the people. "No... I'll ask the leadership right now to transfer Xiao Gao to the ministry," said the gray-haired Chief Engineer Wu, indignant.

"Old Wu, forget it. The car factory had already contacted the leadership to transfer people, but Liu Dekui found out about it, and the two of them took the case to the senior leadership.

Liu Dekui refused to let him go.

You should have heard that when Liu Dekui was in the army, he was a troublemaker. If you try to steal his heart, aren't you afraid that he will block your door?"

Chief Engineer Wang also wanted to transfer Gao Xiaoguang to the department. He even wanted to take Gao Xiaoguang as his last disciple.

Otherwise, he would not have used his connections to allow Gao Xiaoguang to go to a polytechnic college.

Upon hearing this, Chief Engineer Wu frowned. He knew Liu Dekui's character very well. Back then, he was the one who protected his own children.

Once, a platoon leader under his command killed a prisoner, and the commander wanted to punish the platoon leader. Liu Dekui blocked the commander's door and begged for mercy...

"Since we can't transfer people, let Comrade Xiao Gao go to the Northeast to provide support for a few days." Chief Engineer Wu made a compromise.

"Old Wu, you, you've really messed up your brain with scientific research."

Chief Engineer Wu frowned slightly, not understanding what was going on.

Chief Engineer Wang explained helplessly, "Let's not talk about the technical content of this camshaft lathe. Just looking at these material formulas, what do you think the leaders will do?"

Chief Engineer Wu reacted immediately.

Machine tools are the mother machines of industry, and materials are the backbone of industry.

Although Big Brother provided aid, it was not free of charge, and many technologies were kept strictly confidential.

The material formula submitted by Gao Xiaoguang can be used not only in machine tool manufacturing.

For example, alloy steel blade materials are also widely used in the military.

"What do you mean by that... small-scale production at the machinery factory?"

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is the only way for now." Chief Engineer Wang said with a little sadness.

……

"Little brother, this is such a waste of money. I can just wear work clothes on a daily basis. I can use this cloth to make some clothes for my parents." Gao Xiaoshan stood at the door of the tailor shop.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he has never seen his parents wear new clothes.

The clothes at home are new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years. Even so, the eldest brother wears them for himself, and I wear them for my younger brother.

As for my younger sister, she couldn't even wear her old clothes because they had oxidized and could no longer be worn.

My 5-year-old sister is still naked.

"Sister, you are a city dweller now. You only have one set of work clothes, so you must have some spare clothes." Gao Xiaoguang persuaded.

Gao Xiaoshan was concerned about money and cloth even more. In the countryside, you couldn't buy cloth even if you had money.

"Don't worry, I still have cloth coupons here. When you go home and move to the new household, ask your parents to come to the city and I will make new clothes for them." Gao Xiaoguang continued to persuade.

When Gao Xiaoshan saw her younger brother take out a handful of cloth coupons, she quickly asked him to put them away, fearing that he would be noticed by the Buddha.

After taking the measurements, Gao Xiaoshan did not return to the courtyard. Instead, she took her work certificate, cigarettes, alcohol, and brown sugar and took a bus back to Mentougou to transfer her household registration.

Back to Mentougou.

When Gao Jizu learned that his daughter had become a regular employee, he happily showed off a pound of Erguotou to his eldest son.

While celebrating at home, Gao Xiaoguang was called to the office by the factory director.

When he entered, he saw Chief Engineer Wang sitting in the factory director's office drinking tea.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, this is your enrollment certificate."

Gao Xiaoguang was a little surprised after looking at the enrollment certificate. Chief Engineer Wang smiled and explained, "I have contacted the Polytechnic Institute and you can directly join the 57th class. You don't have to go to school every day, but you have to take the school exams.

For the sake of your studies, you come to my house every night and I will give you extra lessons."

Gao Xiaoguang understood immediately and respectfully performed the etiquette of a disciple. "Teacher, I will study hard and live up to my motherland and your cultivation."

"Congratulations, Mr. Wang, for having a proud student." Director Liu congratulated.

"Hmph!" Chief Engineer Wang glared at him and said unhappily, "If you really want to congratulate me, then agree to let my student transfer to the department."

"hey-hey!"

Director Liu smiled naively, "Mr. Wang, the great master once said that regardless of the status of work, we are all serving the people wherever we are."

Chief Engineer Wang glared at Liu Dekui in annoyance, then gave Gao Xiaoguang some words of encouragement with satisfaction, asking him to find time to go to the school as soon as possible to complete the admission procedures, leave his home address, and then got up and left.

After seeing the teacher off, Liu Dekui handed two envelopes to Gao Xiaoguang. "Xiao Gao, I want to apologize first. After a meeting at the factory office, some comrades suggested that since you've only been working at the machinery factory for less than a month, increasing your administrative benefits would be a bit of a hassle..."

Therefore, your administrative request to raise the issue to the next level has been rejected. Compensation will be given for these two machine tool workshop performance indicators."

"Machine tool shop?"

"That's right! The superiors have already instructed that our machinery factory should add a machine tool workshop." Director Liu was full of emotion.

"Director, can we use the machine tool workshop work indicators to replace the indicators?"
