Unlike those who transferred their work relationships to the third line or the whole family moved to the third line, we participated in the construction of the third line and changed shifts every year. The first year, in '76, I was laid to a veteran stevedor by Liu Xinlin. At the end of 76, Lao Liu went home, and from my old unit, Fushun City Transportation Company, the fifth team of the car came a man named Xu Shanwen to lay a hand for me.
When I came from home, many people heard that I was going to work with Xu Shanwen, and they all worriedly reminded me that the old white haired man was not a fucking person, full of bad water, you have to be careful. I didn't think it was that serious. I guess he's the same age as my father, so he wouldn't have been cruel to me. Besides, when I was working, I was in front, heavy work and dangerous work was up to me, he only gave me a hand, can he still find out what is wrong with me?
Xu Shanwen is a native of Shandong, about one meter and seven heads, more than fifty years old, rectangular face, white hair, ruddy face, a dry cigarette bag, almost not leaving the mouth. A labor cloth overalls were washed clean, and a pocket watch was carried in the pocket of the jacket. Before Xuzhou moved, I took the time to invite him to drink a meal of wine, a mouthful of "Master Xu", a mouthful of "grandfathers", frequently poured wine for him, extremely enthusiastically gave him vegetables, and listened carefully to his instructions and teachings. The old man was very happy, very excited, and he smiled and told me a lot, well, it is definitely a universal truth. Listen to Chairman Mao's words, listen to the words of the organization, walk up the red line, live in the red, build the big third line, work well, strive for progress, and so on. I just kept nodding my head and saying yes. I thought, hey, this old man is good. Nor is it like they told me. I'm secretly glad that I can do a better job this year.
Anyone who has worked in a transport unit knows that the rules of the work of the convoy are that during the day, the drivers run outside like wild donkeys, the repairmen do nothing at home, they wander around, they sleep, drink, poke cats, and tease dogs; at night, the drivers hand over their cars, drink, punch, talk dirty, rip eggs and stir, lie on the bed, and think wildly; but the workshop is brightly lit and the motors are roaring. The repairmen pouted their butts and circled around the car, even if they did not sleep overnight, they had to fix the car to ensure that the drivers were out of the car the next day. Each performs its own duties and does not interfere with each other.
However, this Xu Shanwen was not like this. Early in the morning, drivers add water to the tank, the engine, and use the blowtorch to dry the car. He also took an axe to the car park and spun around aimlessly. No one knows what to do.
There is also a thing that makes me feel that this old man is very fucked, shady, pretentious, and unkind. As I said in the previous article, Liaoning was too poor at that time. Therefore, everyone rushed to go to the third line, not only good living conditions, high wages, but also to buy some rice noodles, oil and meat, grains and grains for the family, to help the family's life. When you buy these things, you have to get a box and bag and send them back.
One day, the driver, Elder Brother Yuan, brought a log more than a meter long and asked me to use a chainsaw to break into a plate and prepare to make a box. I didn't say a word, picked it up and went to the chainsaw table.
Busy with life, the old white haired man with a serious and gloomy face came over and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhang, who is this?" ”
"This is Big Brother Yuan's, and he wants to make a box." In Fushun, Elder Brother Yuan and Xu Wenshan are in a motorcade. Old Yuan was also smiling at Xu Shanwen next to him.
The old man didn't even look at the old Yuan standing next to him, and said coldly: "Xiao Zhang, when you came from the northeast, you just carried a luggage roll." In the past two days, the convoy has lost a lot of wood, you know? ”
What the is going on here! The elder brother Yuan brought more than one meter long logs, and the convoy was five meters long, ready-made plates. The implication of this old white haired man's words is obviously that Old Yuan's log is not good. At that time, the old brother Yuan was pale: "Brother, I don't do it!" "Pick up those half-pulled stubbles and go."
A few days later, Liu Yuzhen's eldest brother ,who was a member of the party branch of the team (introduced earlier), quietly asked me: "Have you offended the old white hair?" ”
I said, "No." The two of us worked well together. ”
"Then why did the convoy send you back to the northeast?"
yes? My head was big! Repatriation to the Northeast? What a sin that must be committed! I didn't do anything wrong.
Brother Liu Yuzhen comforted me and said, "Don't worry. I'll inquire again. ”
The next day, Liu Yuzhen's eldest brother told me that he understood. It turned out that after Xu Shanwen's old thing turned around in the depot, he went to the team secretary and the captain to report, saying something, this Xiao Zhang was too lazy, the driver was so busy in the morning, he didn't go to help, just sleep lazy, such a young man can't do it. The team leader couldn't help him from grinding and chattering like this every day, so he discussed it and really wanted me to go back to the northeast.
Liu Yuzhen asked me, this old white hair is not the most important thing, we Fushun City Transportation Company are famous. Well, don't you him, fix the water tank with me, okay? I listened, okay. Liu Yuzhen and I came out of the same factory, know me, and he is a man of integrity, he graduated from the red college before the University of Literature, and he has knowledge, I would like to be with him. Immediately and cheerfully agreed to come down.
Liu Yuzhen communicated with the team leader, and I quickly went to repair the water tank with The Old Brother Liu. This old white haired man secretly made a mistake and tried to drive me back to the northeast, but instead he fulfilled me and learned another craft. Moreover, repairing water tanks is far easier, safer and more comfortable than carpenter work.
However, the beam with the old white hair was also formed. In the end, this old thing was finally picked up by me fiercely and took revenge with an arrow. This is a later matter, and I will tell you in the next article.
