Chapter 292 Sifting Through the Trash
Yan Yan sat on Qin Yunzhou's shoulders as she entered the school, immediately attracting the attention of many children.
Even some parents who were dropping their children off at school were surprised to see Qin Yunzhou like this.
They all knew each other to some extent since they lived in the same residential compound. In their eyes, Qin Yunzhou seemed to be gentle and approachable, but in reality, this was the kind of person who was the most difficult to approach.
Who would have thought that she would have this side to her children?
If his soldiers saw this, they'd probably think they were seeing things.
……
Xu Sui rode his 28-inch motorcycle to Nanshan Machinery Factory.
This machine factory is too small and dilapidated, it has nothing, so it will be quite difficult for them to build their first agricultural harvester on their own.
The materials needed to build this harvester are very difficult to collect.
However, since Xu Sui dared to make a promise, she wasn't afraid at all of failing to complete the task.
Actually, it's nothing much.
If you don't have the materials, then go find the discarded materials. Just like rummaging through the trash, dig out all the precious things and take out everything usable. Grit your teeth and piece it together, and you'll eventually be able to gather all the materials.
If there are no suitable machine tools, then make them with your own hands. Use a hand file to file the shafts little by little, and use a file to correct the gaps in the gears. If the precision is not enough, then adjust it again and again, and you will eventually succeed.
In short, when you encounter difficulties, just face them head-on and bravely overcome them.
Xu Sui has risen from nothing more than once, and now she is simply walking the same path again.
The first thing Xu Sui did upon arriving at the factory was to go to Factory Director Hao and obtain his approval to use discarded parts and various scraps that were no longer needed in the city.
After many years, Xu Sui has returned to her old profession, rummaging through trash, picking up trash, and collecting useful things.
To make it easier to collect trash, she specially changed into a blue work uniform today, put her hair up, wore a hat, and wore work gloves, while pushing a small cart.
Xu Sui first pushed the cart to the abandoned warehouse in the factory where garbage was usually piled up.
We ran into Ma Honghua before we even reached the warehouse.
When Ma Honghua saw Xu Sui's outfit and the little cart she was pushing, she was stunned for a moment.
"Technician Xu, what are you doing? Why are you dressed like that all of a sudden?"
She remembered that when this person came yesterday, he was wearing a dress that was rarely seen in their area. He was dressed fashionably and beautifully, which attracted the attention of many young men in the factory.
If she hadn't explained to those people that Comrade Xu already had a girlfriend and even a child, they probably would have chased after her and started dating her.
Although Xu Sui's outfit today wasn't ugly, it was vastly different from yesterday's. If it weren't for her beautiful face, she probably wouldn't have recognized her.
Xu Sui looked up and saw the person coming, blinked and smiled, and continued pushing her stroller forward.
"I'm going to pick up trash, Red Flower, do you want to help me?"
Ma Honghua was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously exclaimed, "Picking up trash?"
"Technician Xu, are you kidding me?"
Despite the small size of their factory, the factory manager and the two technicians are the highest paid.
Especially Technician Xu, she graduated from university and at a young age, she has already reached the finish line for many people, directly becoming a level 14 technician.
Their factory technician, Liu, has been working for so long, almost 50 years old, and he's only at level 14.
Technician Xu's salary when he first arrived was already comparable to Technician Liu's; he earned more than fifty yuan a month.
This is already considered a very, very high salary.
If people with this salary go to picking up trash, then wouldn't those who only earn about 20 yuan a month have to pick up trash even more?
Xu Sui thought for a moment, "It's not exactly a joke, I really am going to go and rummage through that pile of scrap materials in our factory."
Although Ma Honghua didn't understand, she thought that since Technician Xu was highly educated and capable, she must have her own reasons for doing so.
So he nodded, "I understand. I'll go with you. I don't have anything to do today anyway."
Soon, the two pushed a cart to the abandoned factory building inside the machinery factory and began to search through it.
Of course, it was mostly Xu Sui who was rummaging through the items, while Ma Honghua was helping her.
After all, she has to personally control what she needs.
Discarded plowshares, made of manganese steel. This one is usable; this one works, this one is also useful, this one is no good, it has to be thrown away…
Xu Sui is very fast at rummaging through the trash. She can tell in almost a second what is usable and what is not, and then puts the useful things she finds into her cart.
Before long, she had filled a small cart to the brim.
Ma Honghua, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised to see Xu Sui rummaging through the garbage heap with great skill and speed, as if she were in her own home.
This is completely at odds with her beautiful and fashionable appearance.
Ma Honghua couldn't help but ask, "Technician Xu, how come you're so skilled? You didn't actually go through the trash before, did you?"
Although this place isn't a garbage dump, it's pretty much like one. It's full of discarded items, and nobody usually comes here.
Xu Sui nodded seriously, "I really did flip through it."
She rummaged through countless garbage dumps when she was a child, some even dirtier and messier than this one. Those garbage dumps were real garbage dumps, where you could possibly find all sorts of sticky, smelly things.
Ma Honghua laughed, thinking Xu Sui was joking with her, and didn't take it to heart.
In her eyes, Xu Sui was beautiful, fashionable, had fair skin, good temperament, and a high level of education. She was clearly a girl raised by a wealthy family, so how could she have fallen so low as to rummage through trash?
Not long after, Xu Sui found two small carts full of things and pushed them all to her workstation.
He then took out his toolbox.
This toolbox is very heavy and full of all kinds of files, rulers, screwdrivers, and other tools related to technicians. It even contains some tools that fitters use.
That small workstation was almost entirely filled with all sorts of discarded parts and materials, many of which were covered in yellow rust and some were even crumbling.
Xu Sui buried herself among the discarded materials and began working frantically with her toolbox.
This job is physically demanding, especially since there aren't many skilled fitters in the factory; everything falls to her. She does it herself.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Sui's forehead, unknowingly wetting the stray hairs in front of her forehead.
But she didn't notice at all, and instead focused all her attention on her work.
……
After a long day of work, Xu Sui would have continued working if Technician Liu hadn't come over to tell her it was time to go home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Sui really wanted to keep working. Although the work was hard, it made her feel fulfilled, and she liked this feeling of being high.
But then I realized it would be dark, and it wouldn't be good to ride a bicycle.
Xu Sui gave up the idea of continuing to work overtime, and there was also a very real problem: the factory was too poor and simply couldn't afford electricity.
So even if she were willing to stay and work overtime, she wouldn't have the opportunity.
She rode her 28-inch motorcycle back to the family compound, and it was already dark.
As soon as Xu Sui entered the family compound, she spotted a familiar figure at the entrance.
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the corners of her lips had already turned up slightly.
"Why are you here?"
