Agricultural machinery stations not only need to repair tractors, but also threshing machines, threshers, seeders, etc. All agricultural machinery belongs to agricultural machinery station maintenance.
So it is true that Wang Hongjun said that they are too busy. The original plan was to recruit two people, but Wang Qu found that after recruiting Yan Qing, he worked quickly and well, and he especially liked to rush to work, especially various difficult problems. He liked to study the most, and You can definitely figure out a way out.
He can hold up two by himself.
So I simply didn’t recruit anyone else.
"Our unit is originally a small unit. Including the station manager and janitor Lao Li, there are only seven people in total. Therefore, the approved place is also small, and we can't accommodate more people."
Yan Qing is far away from home and lives in the employee dormitory of the company. There are three staff dormitories in the agricultural machinery station. However, the stationmaster, Wang Qu, and two other comrades are from the county town and go back every day, so they don't live here. As a result, the three multi-person dormitories have become single rooms, and no one would be willing to recruit another person to live in any of them.
So this is just right.
Of course, it is more in line with Yan Qing's wishes. Having his own room makes it easier to do whatever he wants.
The busy farming season is over and winter will soon come.
"There will be much less work in winter." Wang Hongjun said to Yan Qing, "There are also some people who can't find time to do maintenance during the busy farming period, so they will take advantage of this time to do maintenance. But those that can be delayed until now are generally not serious problems."
Yan Qing nodded to express his understanding. Their job was closely related to agriculture. They were busy whenever the crop fields were busy. There was no life in the fields in winter, so they just took it easy.
Yan Qing and Wang Hongjun were sitting in the office drinking tea, and he randomly picked out a newspaper to read.
It is now the end of October 1971, and newspapers have been reporting on China's restoration of its lawful seat in the United Nations in the past few days.
This is news that makes the whole country rejoice, but Yan Qing knows that restoring legal seats does not mean that they will really occupy a place in the world. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and they still have a long way to go.
At this time, the gatekeeper Lao Li ran in from outside. His legs and feet were not as neat as a man of his age, and his expression was very excited. "The county leaders have sent someone here!"
When the stationmaster heard this, he immediately went out to greet him. Wang Hongjun also took Yan Qing and went out to join in the fun.
The person who came was a young man, with a medium build, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a gentle temperament. He introduced himself as Fu, the secretary of the county party committee secretary.
After a conversation, Secretary Fu explained his purpose.
It turned out that the city leaders came to inspect the work today, and the car they drove broke down halfway. Fortunately, the place where the car broke down was very close to their county, only two miles away.
Cars were very rare in small counties in the 1970s. Apart from leaders, who could afford one for ordinary people? So their county doesn’t even have a car repair shop or a car mechanic. Even if the county leader's car breaks down, he has to go to the city to have it repaired.
But this trip takes time. The city leaders have to go back after checking the work today, so they came to their agricultural machinery station to ask if there is anyone who can repair cars.
The stationmaster turned his attention to Wang Qu, "Stationmaster Wang, haven't you repaired cars before? You are so good at repairing tractors. You know everything about it. You should be able to repair the boss's car, right?"
Wang Qu looked embarrassed, "I only know some basic skills. There is still a big difference between a tractor and a car..." That is the leader's car. If it can't be repaired and it gets damaged even more, he can bear it. Can you afford it? "
Secretary Fu said, "Don't be embarrassed, just give it a try. We are treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor now. Even if you can't fix it, it will be fine."
Wang Qu felt relieved and said, "That's okay, I'll try it."
At this time, Yan Qing suddenly said, "Can I follow you and have a look? To be honest, I just want to be a car mechanic, so I learned to repair tractors first. I also do a lot of research on cars. Maybe I can help. ”
Secretary Fu was confused, "This is..."
Wang Qu quickly introduced, "This is our technician here. His skills are no worse than mine. Moreover, this guy is really smart. Maybe he can really help."
"Then let's go together."
So Yan Qing followed Secretary Fu to repair the car.
He also brought Wang Hongjun with him.
"He didn't ask me to go. Isn't it good for me to join in like this?"
"It's okay. You are responsible for getting the tools and doing the work. No one will notice."
"But… "
When he still hesitated, Wang Hongjun kicked him and glared at him fiercely.
Why is this stupid boy so blind? This is an opportunity to show his face in front of the leader! Yan Qing has already pulled him, but he can still retreat!
Wang Hongjun was scolded by Wang Qu too much, but he understood what he meant instantly, so he calmed down and followed them obediently.
The car has been towed to the county and parked in front of the county government office.
Wang Qu stepped forward to check it and found nothing wrong.
It would definitely not be that easy to find the problem. The driver knew some maintenance skills, but he didn't find it out. Wang Qu, who was at a similar level, naturally couldn't find it out either.
Wang Qu turned his attention to Yan Qing.
Yan Qing stepped forward and saw him knocking and then dismantling the car, dismantling it into pieces. He did things calmly, without any panic, and looked confident. It really looked like that.
After checking it, he said very calmly, "It was caused by a fault in the engine oil circuit sensor and a short circuit in the high-voltage wire."
Secretary Fu didn't understand. He only cared about one question, "Can it be fixed?"
"Yes!" Yan Qing said decisively.
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretary Fu smiled and said, "As long as it can be repaired, just tell us what you need. Our county will get it for you."
Yan Qing nodded, and then began his solo performance.
After more than half an hour, he said it was OK. The driver tried it and it turned on.
"Huh? Is it fixed?"
It happened that the city leaders and county leaders were returning from inspection work and passing by the gate. They happened to see this scene, so they stopped and asked.
Secretary Fu quickly reported, "Yes, it has been fixed."
"Didn't you say that there are no car maintenance workers in the county? Who repaired this?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament. A group of people was vaguely headed by him, who must be the top leader in the city.
Wang Qu and others secretly guessed.
Then they heard Secretary Fu say, "Mayor Gu, this is comrade technician from the agricultural machinery station. His name is Li Yanqing."
hiss! Turns out to be the mayor!
Mayor Gu looked at Yan Qing with a smile, "Have you ever learned how to repair a car?"
Yan Qing told the truth, "No, I have only repaired tractors, but I am determined to become a car mechanic, so I have studied car structural diagrams. As the saying goes, repairing cars is not much different from repairing tractors."
Mayor Gu laughed and said to the county magistrate, "I didn't expect there to be such a talented person in your county, and he is so young and looks very talented. He is a good prospect." Then he turned to Yan Qing and asked, "You Want to be a car mechanic? Our city has its own car factory, which is a leading company in the country. Do you want to try it? "
"think!"
"Haha, when they recruit people later, I will write you a letter of recommendation. Of course, this is just to give you a chance. Whether you can pass the exam or not depends on you."
"I will definitely pass the exam!" Yan Qing said confidently.
Mayor Gu smiled again, "Okay, young people must have the spirit of young people."
After a few words of encouragement, Mayor Gu and his party entered the county government.
After they left, Secretary Fu patted Yan Qing on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you have met a noble person! You have to work hard, otherwise all your ambitions will be empty words."
"Thank you, Secretary Fu, I will work hard."
On the way back, Wang Qu finally came to his senses and said with emotion, "I knew you would not be willing to be a tractor repairman."
Although Yan Qing is very calm and has never shown his ambition, gold cannot bury his light. A small agricultural machinery station will definitely not be able to retain such a genius.
"I didn't expect to encounter the opportunity so soon. The mayor will write you a letter of recommendation. As long as you don't let it slip, you will definitely be a sure shot."
Yan Qing nodded, "Thank you, Master Wang, for your cultivation during this period. Without you and Brother Wang, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Wang Qu waved his hand, "You are what you are today because of your own ability. I just happened to meet a talent like you. Okay, there's no need to say anything else. Let's go to a state-owned restaurant for a meal today. No one will compete with you this time. , I must let you treat me!”
Yan Qing smiled, "No problem."
Wang Hongjun finally came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile, "My brother is a bull, and he has caught the eye of the mayor! Then the future will be bright! I must celebrate, and I will kill you severely!"
Wang Qu slapped him on the head and said, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat! I thought you were going to work as hard as Yan Qing to get admitted to the city's automobile factory! In the end, you were going to be slaughtered He was stunned! How can people be so different!"
Wang Hongjun covered his head and avoided it, saying aggrievedly, "I haven't even figured out tractors yet, so I'm going to repair a car? Isn't this embarrassing!"
Wang Qu rolled his eyes angrily and didn't bother to care about him.
Yan Qing smiled at the side, watching the uncle and nephew making trouble.
After dinner, Wang Qu specially gave Yan Qing a day off and asked him to go home and tell his family the good news.
Yan Qing felt that the horoscope had not been revealed yet, so he was not in a hurry to tell his family. But since he had a day off, he took a trip back.
