Chapter 224(1/2)
: Eating melons in the era (36)
Qiao Weiguo was tricked into the boiler room by Old Man Qiao. At first, he was very depressed.
When he thought about it, the boiler room was just a place where boilers were burned, so what kind of future could there be?
Technology cannot be learned!
Human connections cannot be managed.
I can only guard the boiler every day, and become disgraced along with the old master who can only waste his time.
However, when Qiao Weiguo actually went to the boiler room, he realized that he was wrong.
What era is this?
The sixties!
An era that emphasizes dedication and sacrifice, and advocates "submitting one's head and being willing to be a coward"!
Even the leaders of the unit don’t go out to restaurants every day.
Eating in the canteen is the way to go.
Some people are reluctant to even go to the canteen and instead bring food from home.
Fortunately, in summer, the food brought in the morning can still be eaten at noon.
But when the weather is cold, the steamed buns and steamed buns are hard and cold, making it difficult to eat them.
If there are several cold days, the vegetable soup will freeze.
In order to have a warm meal, everyone would send their lunch boxes to the boiler room.
When Qiao Weiguo went to work in the boiler room, it happened to be late autumn and the weather started to get cold.
Workers from various workshops come in and out every day, and directors and leaders will occasionally show up.
Qiao Weiguo:......
In this small boiler room, there are more opportunities to meet leaders than in the workshop!
Good place!
Haha, Old Man Qiao thought he was "teaching" Qiao Weiguo a lesson and pushed him into a pit.
As everyone knows, this is putting Qiao Weiguo, who will be called a "social terrorist" (social terrorist) in later generations, into "heaven".
Within two months of going to the boiler room, Qiao Weiguo had figured out all the big and small people in the machinery factory.
He also established a relatively close relationship with the specific person he chose.
for example--
"Su Gong, bring your lunch box again."
When it was almost noon, Qiao Weiguo "respectfully" invited the master to have lunch, while he guarded the boiler.
A steady stream of employees delivered lunch boxes to the boiler room, and Qiao Weiguo was either polite or eager to greet them.
Among these people, Qiao Weiguo is obviously more enthusiastic about Su Zhenhua.
"Um!"
Su Zhenhua is in his forties, with fair skin, regular facial features, black-rimmed glasses, and messy short hair, but he does not look haggard or slovenly.
He is like a noble man who focuses on technology. Even though he looks a little downcast on the outside, his eyes are full of pure and burning light.
"Excuse me, Master Qiao!"
Su Zhenhua is wearing the work clothes of a machinery factory, but he wears it with a "fashionable" feel.
He has an elegant temperament and is very polite to Qiao Weiguo.
"Oh, Su Gong, you are so polite, just call me Xiao Qiao!"
Qiao Weiguo took the lunch box and helped put it on the pipe connected to the boiler, while chatting with Su Zhenhua with a smile.
"Gong Su, you are a little late today. Is your work not going well?"
"To tell you the truth, I have little education, so I admire you as an elite with talent, skills, and passion for serving the country."
Qiao Weiguo's words were not all compliments.
He really admires me.
Su Zhenhua is an older generation of overseas students who has his own technology patents abroad.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they listened to the call of the motherland and returned to their impoverished country without hesitation.
Su Zhenhua also donated all his family's property, leaving only a house to live in.
...Qiao Weiguo cannot make such a sacrifice.
But he will admire those who can do it.
In addition to admiration, Qiao Weiguo also has his own little thoughts.
Su Zhenhua is really a skilled person and also really knowledgeable and talented.
As for foreign languages alone, I am proficient in Russian, German and English.
If I could learn a little bit from him, I would definitely benefit a lot.
Of course, the entire era is quite special, and knowing a foreign language is not a good thing.
But, this matter also needs to be divided among people.
Su Zhenhua is a big capitalist and has flaws in his identity.
Isn't that Qiao Weiguo? Several generations of poor peasants have absolutely upright roots.
If he learns foreign languages, he may become a special talent in the machinery factory.
In addition, besides studying, Qiao Weiguo also knew that Su Gong had two daughters in his family.
The eldest daughter Su Anna is 19 years old and is studying in college.
Both talented and beautiful, beautiful and intelligent.
The natives of this era would despise Su Anna's poor background.
But Qiao Weiguo, as a person from later generations, would not be so "short-sighted".
The capitalist eldest lady is not comparable to the rich second generation of future generations, Bai Fumei.
The Su family is a famous family, and Su Anna should be considered a "daughter of aristocratic family"!
A person with such a background will be a goddess that Qiao Weiguo cannot reach in future generations.
With all kinds of little thoughts in mind, Qiao Weiguo was particularly attentive to Su Zhenhua.
Su Zhenhua is a technical geek, with a somewhat otherworldly feeling.
But he is not stupid and can feel Qiao Weiguo's enthusiasm.
However, Su Zhenhua didn't think much about it and just thought that Qiao Weiguo was really eager for knowledge and admired talents.
For such people who are eager to learn, intellectuals like Su Zhenhua have the habit of "becoming a teacher".
"You want to learn a foreign language?"
Su Zhenhua is pure and direct, and does not use euphemisms.
Qiao Weiguo:......
Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"Okay! I will take the time to teach you some. In addition, I have some books and notes at home. You can also take them to read more and memorize more!"
Su Zhenhua did not dislike Qiao Weiguo for being an apprentice boilermaker, but really regarded him as a young man who loved learning.
"Thank you! Thank you Su Gong!"
Qiao Weiguo thanked him repeatedly.
At noon, Su Zhenhua came to get a hot lunch box and took advantage of the meal break to teach Qiao Weiguo some English.
In later generations, Qiao Weiguo went to high school and had a certain foundation in English.
Therefore, when he was learning, he seemed to be very talented.
Su Zhenhua was surprised to see that he could memorize twenty-six letters so quickly and master some daily words - what a genius! This Xiao Qiao is actually a foreign language genius!
People who are good teachers often also love and cherish talents.
Originally, Su Zhenhua only wanted to teach briefly, but seeing that Qiao Weiguo was so talented, he really treated him as a student and taught him seriously and systematically.
Qiao Weiguo:......
Although he felt like "shooting himself in the foot", his relationship with Su Gong got closer.
Now it has developed to the point where he can deliver lunch boxes to Su Gong and study in Su Gong's office!
At the weekend, Qiao Weiguo even accepted Su Gong’s invitation——
