Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

Is he just going to sit back and take the blame?

The higher you stand, the stronger the wind blows.

If something unexpected happens in the special workshop, it doesn't matter whether Lao Ma was involved or not.

Anyway, he'll definitely be the first one to be criticized and held accountable.

Not involved?

If I punish you for holding a position without doing any work, your crime will be compounded!

"Jianguo, I'll be going now. You guys keep busy." Old Ma said goodbye and headed to another workshop.

He can't be of much help here, and besides, he's just a director.

He can swallow his pride and work alongside his master, even though it makes others feel uncomfortable.

Your skills are not up to par. Should I tell you or not?

Tell me, you're a director too, big or small.

If I don't tell you, I can't do this job.

So, Old Ma didn't want to cause any trouble for anyone and just kept walking.

Feeling cheerful, Lao Ma wandered around helping out in other workshops.

He would lend a hand to anyone who was short-handed.

If an apprentice wants to learn something, he's happy to teach them.

The unity within the special workshop influenced more than just the individual workers.

His nominal position was also deeply inspired.

As long as you are willing to learn and work hard.

We'll teach you these tricks of the trade thoroughly.

He's a seasoned level six fitter, after all. If he can't teach the people in his own workshop, surely he can teach the people outside?

"Master Ma, can you tell why this keeps getting deformed?"

"Let me see... You kid, hold on tight. If you hold it like that, anyone would deform it."

"So, you have to straighten it up, and then twist it like this."

"Do you know how to use skill? Don't just use brute force like a fool. You have to be skillful, like this... Oh, right."

"Master Ma, could you take a look at this? I just can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."

After glancing at it, Old Ma said with a stern face, "Which master taught you this? Did he tell you that this job requires a mold?"

"And another thing, are you using those eyes as firecrackers? Isn't that right next to them your mouth? You only use it for eating?"

He gave the other person a thorough scolding, and the other person walked away with a sheepish grin and a scratch on his head.

When it comes to the old master chef's words, just listen to the 'essence'.

To make a good job, you need to observe carefully and ask questions.

The three essential elements are here!

The rest, beep...beep...beep...

"Hey, Old Ma's here again." The experienced workers in the workshop greeted Old Ma warmly.

This person is approachable and helpful.

He would occasionally give his apprentices some pointers, and he treated everyone equally.

At first, Lao Ma wasn't used to it when he first arrived.

It always feels rather awkward.

Later, the workshop director said that he should be treated as an ordinary fitter.

Plus, Old Ma is good at getting things done, so everyone is happy to take advantage of him.

He was also willing to explain his skills to his apprentices.

With such an open-minded attitude, who can say anything?

What, you're hiding your own shortcomings and won't let others teach you?

Besides, Old Ma didn't steal your apprentice.

I'll train your apprentice for free. You can't find such a good deal even with a lantern. Who would complain?

Before anyone knew it, Lao Ma had become the most popular person in each workshop.

Moreover, the style he brought from the special workshop also spread.

When everyone had free time, Lao Ma would like to tell them about what was happening in the workshop.

What kind of work? I can't say.

They might say something else!

The atmosphere among the group, the spirit of unity, the resounding songs, and the determination to face difficulties head-on.

Not only apprentices love to listen, but experienced masters do too.

Old Ma felt that even if he retired, he could still make money by becoming a storyteller.

If Yang Jianguo knew what he was thinking...

He had to give Li Yaoguo a heads-up first: "Old Li, someone wants to take your stall under the overpass."

dang dang…

The bell rang, and the busy workshop quieted down.

Groups of three or five workers walked out together.

If you're not even enthusiastic about eating, what do you expect to do?

"Master Ma."

"Master Ma, tell us more about Master Yang when you have time!"

"Yes, tell us again, we didn't finish last time!"

"I'm waiting to hear how Master Yang solved that difficult problem."

"Me too."

"I want to hear it too."

"Master Ma, tell us about it."

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic attitude, Lao Ma chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you all about it when I have time."

Just then, the song on the radio suddenly stopped.

"Good afternoon, comrades and fellow workers."

"I am the announcer, Yu Haitang."

"Today, we're going to have a... special broadcast..."

"We invited Master Yang from the special workshop to join me in reading the instructor's letter to everyone."

The workers in the factory immediately erupted in excitement.

Those wearing hats would grab them and throw them upwards.

Without a hat, pulling at her hair...

open.

He grabbed his coworker and jumped up happily, his cheers echoing throughout the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

In the broadcasting studio, Yu Haitang sat upright, her cheeks flushed as she looked at the simple, unadorned letter in front of her.

She memorized each sentence above over and over again.

The praise and descriptions of Yang Jianguo were of paramount importance.

It's not because I'm going to read this passage later.

Instead, the person being praised was sitting right next to him.

After the opening remarks, Yu Haitang gave him a look and pointed to the microphone, indicating that he was ready.

Yang Jianguo cleared his throat into the microphone.

The voices outside were clear. Yang Jianguo spoke up: "Fellow workers, comrades, I am Yang Jianguo."

"Oh my..." The cheers grew even louder, as if they wanted to blow the steel rolling mill upside down...

Yang Jianguo could only wait quietly as the cheers subsided.

He then spoke again: "It is an honor to receive a letter from my advisor."

"This is recognition and care for me personally, and also for the vast working class. We must..."

As Yang Jianguo gave his rousing speech, Yu Haitang's eyes lit up.

Why couldn't I have met him sooner?

It's great that we got there before Li Ying!

Chapter 140 Yu Haitang is craving it, and the whole factory is craving it too.

Looking at Yu Haitang beside me, who was reading the letter aloud with perfect pronunciation.

Yang Jianguo felt an intense sense of shame, comparable to being at a social death scene.

That's so awkward!

Imagine someone praising your merits in front of tens of thousands of people.

Although they are all quite practical, it still feels very embarrassing...

Yang Jianguo initially insisted on reading the letter himself, intending to have that part deleted.

But unexpectedly, it was just this one thing.

It even alarmed the top leader, who personally called him: "Jianguo, have you forgotten what I told you?"

We must be courageous in taking responsibility, dare to be the locomotive, and drive the rest of the train forward together.

This is what it means to be upright and honest, to stand tall and proud!

A timid, hesitant, and petty manner is unacceptable...

Then, the top leader assigned it to him.

He would read the rest of the text, while the 'important' parts would be given to the factory's announcer.

For this reason, the top leader even specifically asked the director of the publicity department.

If this announcer isn't very competent, then we'll send someone else.

The head of the publicity department immediately said that Comrade Yu Haitang was the most professional announcer he had ever seen.

He speaks clearly and articulately, possesses solid fundamental skills, and demonstrates outstanding abilities.

Only after the head of the propaganda department repeatedly assured him did the top leader abandon his plan to send someone personally.

As for Yu Haitang, she was lucky enough to be hit by a windfall.

Although the way it was hit was quite unexpected.

But the pie is real, and the benefits of eating it are real too.

What's there to choose? Let's do it!

"...to contribute one's own strength to the motherland and the people."

After Yu Haitang finished reading the last word, there was no movement in the factory for a long time.

This made her excited heart uneasy, and she leaned against the table and stretched her head out the window.

"what…"
