Chapter 95 Going to work
No matter what huge waves were stirred up secretly, Lin Yuxi was still an ordinary girl on the surface. She happily took her information and reported to the textile factory.
Linquan Textile Factory
In the 1970s, the textile factories were roaring with machines, and the air was filled with the fragrance of cotton and the smell of machine oil. Lin Yuxi stood at the factory gate, took a deep breath of the familiar yet strange air, and was full of expectations.
"Xiaoxi, I heard that you passed the exam to become a quality inspector in our factory? Are you going to come over to report for work?" A middle-aged woman in a blue work suit looked at Lin Yuxi and greeted her with a smile.
Lin Yuxi turned her head and saw that it was Aunt Zhang from her father's workshop, the elder who had watched the original body grow up. "Good morning, Aunt Zhang, I'm here to report to our factory today. I'll have to trouble you ladies to take care of me in the future!" Lin Yuxi smiled sweetly.
"Oh, you are such a sensible child. Don't worry, just tell me if you have any problem." Aunt Zhang smiled and patted Lin Yuxi's shoulder.
Lin Yuxi followed Aunt Zhang's footsteps and walked into the textile factory. Inside the factory, the machines roared and the workers were busy shuttling between the workshops. Lin Yuxi looked around and felt the unique atmosphere of this era.
I met a lot of acquaintances along the way. Most of them were neighbors who had watched me grow up.
"Xiaoxi, are you coming?"
"Hey, Xiaoxi! You really made your parents proud this time. I heard that your grades are the best in your batch? Not bad, keep up the good work!"
……
"Yuxi is here. Your dad was just talking about you, asking why you haven't arrived yet?"
Lin Yuxi smiled and nodded in response: "Yeah, I just arrived, I'll go find my dad right away."
She walked through the workshop and came to her father's office. Lin Jianye was checking the production report. When he saw his daughter coming in, he smiled with relief: "Xiaoxi, you are here. I have already informed the Quality Inspection Department. Come on, Dad will take you there to report in."
Lin Yuxi nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. Although her father didn't talk much, his love for his children was undiminished.
Quality Inspection Department
"Old Lin, is this your daughter? Yes, she looks energetic!" Liu Qi, director of the Quality Inspection Department, greeted Lin Jianye when he saw him reporting in with his daughter.
"Yes, Director Liu, this is my daughter, Lin Yuxi. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future." Lin Jianye said with a smile.
"Haha, Lao Lin, you are being too polite. Xiaoxi is so outstanding, our quality inspection department is really lucky." Director Zhao laughed heartily.
Lin Yuxi stood obediently by the side, listening to the two people's greetings.
"Okay, let's stop being polite. Yuxi, you will work in our quality inspection department from now on. If you have any questions, just ask, and everyone will help you."
"I know, Director. Don't worry, I will work hard in the future and try not to worry you."
Lin Yuxi completed the entry formalities and received her work permit and uniform. After she put on the uniform, she instantly felt like she had integrated into this big family.
"Dad, you go back and take care of yourself first. I can do it on my own." Lin Yuxi said to Lin Jianye.
"Okay, then Dad will leave first. If you have any problem, come to me and I will solve it for you!" Lin Jianye looked at his daughter worriedly, then left the Quality Inspection Department.
As soon as she entered the studio, Lin Yuxi was immediately surrounded by a group of enthusiastic colleagues. The older Liang Qiqi spoke first, and she looked at Lin Yuxi with a smile: "Yuxi, you are here! I have heard that you are a top student. Our quality inspection department has found a treasure this time. We will rely on you to take the lead in the future!"
Lin Yuxi waved her hands a little embarrassedly, with a blush on her face: "Sister Liang, you are too flattering. I am a newcomer and I don't know anything. How can I dare to accept such a compliment! You and the seniors have much more experience than me. I still have to ask you for advice and hope to get your guidance!"
Just then, a lively and cheerful young girl came running over. It was Lin Yuxi's neighbor and good friend Zeng Ling.
She hugged Lin Yuxi, excited like a child: "Xiaoxi, you really came to the Quality Inspection Department! That's great! I was worried that I would be assigned a partner who would be difficult to get along with, but I didn't expect it to be you. That's great! We can fight side by side again in the future!"
Lin Yuxi was also infected by Zeng Ling's enthusiasm and patted her shoulder with a smile: "Yes, from now on we will support each other and make progress together!" The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of expectations for the future.
With the help of Zeng Ling, Lin Yuxi quickly integrated into the work of the quality inspection department. Their team is responsible for checking the quality of cloth, and they need to carefully find defects on each piece of cloth to ensure that all the cloth leaving the factory is qualified.
Although the work is tedious, the two enjoy it. They carefully check each piece of cloth, not missing any flaws, to ensure that the cloth leaving the factory is of high quality.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for lunch. Zeng Ling took Lin Yuxi's hand and walked towards the cafeteria excitedly: "Xiaoxi, come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria to try our factory's specialties!"
The two walked into the bustling cafeteria and saw a long queue that had already reached the door. Zeng Ling pulled Lin Yuxi into the middle of the queue with familiarity, "Yingzi, here I come!"
A heroic girl turned around and smiled at the person who came. "Xiaoling, you're here!"
"Yingzi, this is my good friend and neighbor, Lin Yuxi. She will also be an employee of our factory in the future." Zeng Ling introduced enthusiastically.
"Hello, my name is Li Ying, nice to meet you." Li Ying smiled and extended her hand to Lin Yuxi.
"Hello, Sister Li Ying." Lin Yuxi quickly held Li Ying's hand, "Please take care of me in the future."
The people behind saw that they knew each other, muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and then stopped talking.
Zeng Ling smiled and whispered to Lin Yuxi, "Don't worry about it. Everyone is like this. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Every second counts when eating."
Lin Yuxi looked around and saw some inspirational slogans hanging on the walls, as well as a few yellowed old photos, recording the glory of the textile factory in the past. On the table in the cafeteria, there were several stainless steel lunch boxes, which looked quite old.
When it was the three people's turn to get food, Zeng Ling skillfully ordered a few dishes: "Auntie, give me three servings of braised pork, three servings of green vegetables, and three servings of rice."
The auntie serving the food looked at them with a smile: "Xiaoling, you brought a new friend today? This girl is so pretty."
Zeng Ling smiled proudly: "Yes, Auntie, this is my neighbor, who is new to our factory, her name is Lin Yuxi."
The three of them took their heavy lunch boxes and found an empty seat to sit down. Zeng Ling couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised pork and put it in Lin Yuxi's lunch box: "Try it quickly, this braised pork is the signature dish of our cafeteria, it's fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth."
Lin Yuxi took a bite and it was indeed delicious. She exclaimed: "It's really delicious, much better than what I make at home."
As they ate and chatted, Zeng Ling curiously asked about Lin Yuxi's newly found twin brother: "Xiaoxi, why didn't you mention that you have a twin brother before? Is he really your brother?"
