Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 309 Quality Inspector

"You're wasting money and tickets again, kid. Why don't you buy some fatty meat to make some oil?" Wu Juan said with heartache as she looked at the five pounds of mutton in He Lai's hand.

"Mom, this mutton doesn't require meat coupons. My colleague bought it for me." He Lai explained.

"Is that so? That's good. Your colleague is really capable. He can buy meat without a ticket."

"No, mother, this meat was brought back by my son. Why don't you praise me but praise others instead?"

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"Oh, you, I'm too lazy to praise you now. You eat a lot of meat and fish every day. Now I feel distressed when I see you eating."

"Yushui, did you hear me? Mother feels sorry for you. Let's take it back and eat it."

"Oh." Yu Shui agreed, but still stood beside Wu Juan without moving, looking at He Lai with a smile.

"You little bastard, you finished eating outside and didn't let me eat anything. I'll punish you by making me cook a dish."

"Okay, Yushui, let's go. Help Brother Lai make some cold bean sprouts for Mom to try."

He Lai took the mutton into the kitchen and Yu Shui followed him with a smile.

After a while, He Lai brought out a large plate of mutton soup, and Yu Shui followed behind with a few small bowls.

Of course, this was made by the little chef Yushui, and He Lai was only responsible for making the fire.

"Mom, my cooking skills are good, right?" He Lai handed Wu Juan a bowl and asked with a smile.

"Okay, stop being naughty. Serve a bowl for your father as well." Wu Juan said with a smile after drinking it.

"I'm not coming here. Dad's not a woman who's just given birth." He Lai glanced at He Zhan and refused directly.

"Uncle He, this is for you." Yu Shui handed a bowl to He Zhan.

"Okay, okay, thank you Yushui." He Zhan took the mutton soup with a smile.

"Dad, Yu Shui just finished his exams and said he will definitely be admitted to a technical secondary school. It seems unreasonable for you not to express your opinion!"

He Lai laughed and taunted.

"Uh...Okay, Dad gets it." He Zhan suddenly felt that the bowl of mutton soup was a little hot.

……

A few days later, Shen Dandan came to He Lai again with an angry face.

"Didn't I tell you not to do that? Don't you understand? What on earth are you going to do?!"

"Uh, what do I do..."

"That's right, come on, what are you going to do, Sister Dandan, I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Before He Lai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Zhiwen and pulled out of the office.

"What's going on? Did you take that person away?" He Lai asked in surprise.

"Yes, he was transferred back by his father-in-law on the grounds of poor health. This kind of thing cannot withstand investigation. Once it is investigated, it will be exposed immediately. Moreover, his father-in-law also has some problems and has done a lot of bad things.

So my father sent the whole family to the northwest for labor reform."

Zhang Zhiwen recounted the entire story.

"Then why didn't you tell me? You caused me to be scolded by Sister Dandan. That bastard must have gone to find her. How shameless!"

He Lai was a little depressed. It was obviously Zhang Zhiwen who did it, but they were pointing fingers at him.

"I didn't have time to say anything. I was just about to tell you when Sister Dandan came up to question me."

Zhang Zhiwen was also helpless.

"Forget it, forget it, let's think about how to comfort Sister Dandan."

"How about treating her to dinner?"

"Okay, you handle it. I'll go to the workshop first." He Lai didn't want to face Shen Dandan now, so he could only hang out in the workshop.

"Uh, okay." Zhang Zhiwen also knew that he was speaking too slowly, so he had to go back and talk to Shen Dandan about dinner.

He Lai went to Liu Haizhong's workshop.

As soon as I arrived at the workshop, I saw Liu Haizhong inspecting the workshop and immediately went over to him.

"Second uncle, I'm busy!"

"Hey, Xiao Laizi, why are you leaving the workshop today?" When Liu Haizhong saw that it was He Lai, he stopped and started talking to him.

"Come down and see if anyone needs help. How's it going? Is production stressful?"

"It's OK. After all, they are all new machines. It shouldn't be a problem to complete the production task."

Liu Haizhong said with a smile.

It is comfortable to be the workshop boss. Everyone respects him. Now he only needs to coordinate the allocation of personnel and occasionally teach his subordinates some small techniques.

"That's good, Uncle Er, is my cousin in your workshop?"

"Yes, it's there, Master Lu is with it. Don't worry, I'm watching it, nothing will happen."

Liu Haizhong pointed at Wu Sheng who was not far away and said.

He Lai also saw Wu Sheng, who was helping an old craftsman move things.

"Don't look at it. Everyone goes through this. Moving things is the basic job of an apprentice. I can't give him special treatment just because he's your cousin. It won't be good for him to learn skills."

"Well, Second Uncle, you underestimate me too much. I understand this principle. I won't care, don't worry."

"Okay, okay, Second Uncle said the wrong thing." Liu Haizhong said with a wry smile.

He Lai chatted with Liu Haizhong for a while, then left the workshop and went to the assembly workshop.

Yu Li was seen at the quality inspection area at the back. A female quality inspector was teaching her how to inspect the grinding machine.

He Lai obviously didn't expect Yu Li to be here. Quality inspector is considered a good job. Although the salary is fixed, it is very suitable for girls and does not require any physical work.

"He Gong, why are you here? Are you here to see this grinding machine?"

When the female quality inspector saw He Lai, she immediately greeted him.

"Well, I'm just taking a look. You guys continue, continue." He Lai said awkwardly, and did not talk to Yu Li to avoid others talking about her.

"Okay, then take your time to look at it. I won't disturb you anymore." The female quality inspector smiled and stepped back.

After He Lai left, he started chatting with Yu Li.

"Yu Li, remember this next time you meet Engineer He, you have to be nice to him. He invented our mill. He's the boss here, and everyone has to listen to him."

The female quality inspector gave a thumbs up and started introducing the products.

"I understand, Master." Although Yu Li felt a little uneasy, she still agreed with a smile.

She was already very satisfied that she was assigned to the quality inspection department. After all, she had seen how hard the apprentices in the workshop worked, and it was not something a girl like her could easily adapt to. She didn't know if it was arranged by him.

In fact, Yu Li’s quality inspector must have a certain relationship with He Lai. After all, she was hired at He Lai’s invitation, so he would naturally take better care of her when assigning her to a job.

But she only has a junior high school education, which is above average among the working class in the steel rolling mill, so it is reasonable to arrange her in the position of quality inspector.

He Lai left the assembly workshop, thinking about Yu Li's matter, which had now been perfectly resolved.

After leaving the Yan family, Yu Li should have a better life in the future, and she won't have to worry about those pickles every day.

When reform and opening up begin in the future, this future strong woman will be of great use. After all, there are not many people with business acumen in this era.
