Chapter 120 Just open your mouth and come
Darong has been working very hard in the new factory, so she gets along well with her new colleagues and leaders.
The work in the boiler room does not require constant running back and forth like in a textile factory. As long as the machines and instruments are stable, there will be some time to slack off while working.
The workshop director of Darong’s department is named Liu, a middle-aged man in his forties. He has never been to school, but he participated in the counterattack when he was young. After being injured and demobilized, he was assigned to the fiber factory as a small leader.
Because he is bald, his employees call him Liu Tuzi in private. Liu Tuzi is not a bad person, but his biggest problem is that he loves to drink. Once he drinks, he will curse people without thinking.
Everyone knows about his problem. On weekdays, when they see him coming to work with a red face, they try to avoid him as far away as possible.
Darong was working the night shift that day, and happened to meet Liu Tuzi who was on duty drunk and was inspecting the workshop in a daze.
When Baldy Liu entered the boiler room, Darong had just finished checking the instruments and machines. After confirming that there were no problems, she was sitting on a chair paddling in the water and flipping through a magazine.
"Xiao Yuan, what are you looking at?" Baldy Liu asked Darong as he stepped into the room.
"A stoker's book!"
Darong didn't expect that Baldy Liu would come up for inspection at this time. When she saw him come in, she had no time to put away the magazine in her hand.
After hearing the questioning tone of Liu Tuzi, Darong was actually very panicked and blurted out the answer without any hesitation.
Baldy Liu stood there with his eyes wide open. He really couldn't read, but there was such a big photo of a model printed on the cover. Darong's answer choked him and he almost sobered up.
"Liu Tou'er, why are you here at this hour? Come, come, sit down and have some tea..."
Xiao Jinzi, who was sitting in the cubicle, heard the noise outside and quickly stuck his head out. He glanced at Darong, holding back his smile, and interrupted to lead Liu Tuzi into the small cubicle.
The boiler room was hot and stuffy in the summer, and Liu Tuzi didn't want to stay in there for long. After chatting with Xiao Jinzi about safety in production, he got up and left. Before leaving, he took another look at Da Rong who was keeping her head down and silent.
"Rongzi, you are really something. What are you thinking...hahaha...it's too bullying...hahaha..."
After Liu Tuzi left, Xiao Jinzi looked at Darong with laughter.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Sister Guo, who just came in from outside, asked Xiao Jinzi who was laughing non-stop.
"This Rongzi took advantage of Liu Tuzi's illiteracy and called the magazine a 'stoker's textbook'. Liu Tuzi almost passed out from her insult."
While Xiao Jinzi was describing to Sister Xiao Guo what had just happened, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Darong and his group are a group of four people. Xiao Jinzi is also a young man who just returned from the army. Sister Guo is about the same age as Darong. There is also a squad leader, Master Li. The four of them always get along well.
"I'm not bullying him because he can't read. I was just too nervous and didn't have time to react. You can read the stoker's manual at work without getting scolded or having your salary deducted."
Darong also found it funny to be laughed at by Xiao Jinzi, and she explained to Sister Xiao Guo with her lips pursed.
"Where's Li Tou'er? Why hasn't he come in yet?"
Just now, Master Li and Sister Guo went to check the equipment together. Now only Sister Guo came back alone. Xiao Jinzi looked at Sister Guo with a sly smile and asked.
"Why don't you ask Tou'er Li yourself?" Sister Guo raised her eyebrows and exchanged glances with Xiao Jinzi, showing that she understood.
Tou'er Li is in his thirties and has a wife and children at home. However, there have always been rumors in the factory that he has an unclear relationship with a female colleague in the second workshop. Every time he works the night shift, Tou'er Li's whereabouts are always unknown for a while.
Darong didn't want to get involved in these boring gossips. Every time Xiao Jinzi and Sister Guo started chatting, she would just stand by and laugh.
With the help of Xiao Jinzi, Liu Tuzi managed to get away with a temporary spot check without any danger. Darong was very afraid of losing points and money at that time, so she never dared to slack off again after that.
After finishing her night shift in the morning, Darong pushed her bike into the front yard and saw Sibei sitting on the steps of her small kitchen. She frowned slightly, fearing that Sibei might get into trouble.
Ever since Sibeier resigned and started his own business, he has become busier every day than before, and the time they spend together at home is very limited. Waiting here early this morning made Darong a little nervous.
"Fourth generation, what's wrong with you?"
Only after seeing Darong enter the yard did Sibeier stand up from the steps. He nodded at Darong but did not speak.
Darong parked the car, opened the door and went into the house with Sibei.
"Sister, I'm in trouble..." Sibei closed the door and looked at Darong nervously.
Darong felt her heart rise up in anxiety and she stared at Sibei with a frown.
"Sister, Xiao Ling...had a miscarriage..." After hesitating for a long time, Sibei finally squeezed out these words.
"What?" Darong wasn't really surprised, but she was still somewhat shocked.
"Sister, I don't know what to do..." Sibei sat on the sofa with his head down, at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Why did you have a miscarriage? Can't you just get married if you get pregnant? What are you two doing?!"
Darong couldn't help but complain a little.
In fact, everything from Xiao Ling's pregnancy to her miscarriage were accidents. It would be abnormal if nothing went wrong for the two young people who were so passionate about being together every day.
However, after they found out they were pregnant, they had an unexpected miscarriage before the two of them could find a solution. Xiao Ling did not dare to go home, so Sibeier thought of asking Darong for help to think of a solution.
"She has had a miscarriage and needs to be taken good care of. She can't get sick. Fortunately, it's summer now. You can bring her over and let her stay in the next room first."
After thinking for a while, Darong still couldn't tell Darong's mother about this. After all, Xiao Ling hadn't married yet. Darong felt that if Darong's mother, who was so conservative, knew about this, Xiao Ling would never be able to hold her head up high in her life.
At that time, the living conditions in Nanjian were not good. Because the terrain was low-lying, water would accumulate during the rainy season. Even though every household had knee-high thresholds at the door, it still could not prevent the rain from pouring into the house.
Therefore, those who can afford it will save money to buy a house and move out. From time to time, there will be vacant dormitory houses, and the company will not redistribute these houses. The rule is that whoever occupies the house can use it.
When Darong moved in, it was somewhat due to favors that she was able to live here. But in the past two years, there has been no need for those polite formalities. As long as the second generation of Nanjian employees occupies the house, it counts.
However, this also laid a lot of hidden dangers for the neighborhood conflicts in the slum later.
