Chapter 122 Good Mentors and Helpful Friends
Sure enough, Director Wang directly held a meeting in the factory.
Directly stated the method of fair competition for the team leader position this time.
All the staff of the six brigades had nothing to say. This was really fair and just.
So people who want to sign up as team leaders have already come forward. What we are asking is that everyone sign up actively.
In the end, a total of 34 people wanted to compete for the team leader position.
Of course, they are all female workers, and male workers have no say in this matter.
On the day of the competition, 34 people were locked in a room and made duvets individually.
Xia Zhi blinked at Zhao Hong, Liu Zhiyan and the others.
Don’t say anything, nothing else!
When we were making down jackets, everyone came to help.
The first down jacket was made by Xia Zhi alone, but when it came time to make the second and third down jackets, it was time to make down jackets for Liu Zhiyan and herself alone.
At that time, even female educated youths came over to help. Everyone also wanted to wear a down jacket, so they thought of coming over to learn from the experience.
I want to ask Xia Zhi to make down jackets, but I obviously know that there are so many of them and it’s not appropriate to ask them to make them one by one.
Most women can make quilts without any problem, but there are still differences between down jacket quilts and ordinary cotton quilts.
It's different from what they imagined.
People who have made down jackets obviously have different experiences in making down jackets and quilts.
Xia Zhi taught them many techniques for making down jackets, which are equally effective when used on down quilts.
She didn't expect that one day these would come in handy. Apparently all eight of their female relatives were competitive.
This can be regarded as unintentional planting of willows and willows.
Sure enough, 34 quilts were hung out according to numbers.
Hanging on a rope in the factory yard, all the female workers lined up to check it out for themselves. They could touch it, look at the stitching carefully, and finally selected 20 quilts according to their own ideas.
Of course, for the sake of fairness and justice, Director Wang not only invited the captain Zhou Zhengan, the deputy director of the down quilt factory, and the old master who came again, the four of them got four more votes as judges.
The yard of the factory area became lively and filled with 34 quilts. Many people were outside watching the fun.
The selection results ended smoothly amidst the noise.
The votes cast in the ballot box will be counted on-site to prevent others from thinking they are cheating.
The count started on the blackboard. After the 34 numbers, there were votes from all the employees, and 20 numbers were quickly selected.
After opening each number, the name of the maker is revealed.
Not surprisingly, Xia Zhi saw eight female educated youths, all of whom entered the 20 number.
Zhao Hong and the others were all a little excited. They never imagined that learning so much from Xia Zhi would actually be such a help to their future lives.
Who would have thought that I just made a down jacket, and it only helped me a little, and it would come in handy in the end.
Although they don't have many skills to learn, they can't stand it now and are naturally better than those women who have never made down jackets.
In fact, there were only eight female educated youths among the 20 people, and the remaining 12 were all local women.
They are ingenious and good at making clothes, so they obviously have more say and use their brains when making duvets.
As each name was announced, cheers erupted from everyone.
Apparently some people get what they want.
On the list of 20 people, there are names of people from their team.
Although the final result was not satisfactory, everyone was convinced because they did not cheat and they had no reason to refute.
20 selected group leaders formed a study class and began to learn production techniques from masters from Haishi.
The teaching process is only 15 days, and everyone is required to study hard.
Xia Zhi's performance is very outstanding, almost unparalleled.
The old master who taught them was named Li Gui.
I am 60 years old this year and have been a tailor for 55 years.
He worked as an apprentice in a tailor shop from the age of five until he started working as a tailor at the age of 30. He has been a tailor for 30 years.
In the beginning, he was just a tailor. Later, due to the domestic industrial reform, a garment factory was established.
Li Gui also became a master in a garment factory.
From being an ordinary worker at the beginning to becoming a craftsman and technician due to his outstanding skills, and now becoming the deputy director of a garment factory, it can be said that he has come step by step.
But he also had to admire the girl in front of him. She didn't look very old, but she was indeed very useful and dexterous.
The craftsmanship is even better than that of a master who has been working for decades.
Not only is the workmanship meticulous, but the most important thing is that this girl has a very good brain. Some of the suggestions and improvements she made in terms of craftsmanship definitely challenged her original rigid thinking, but the results were surprisingly good.
Among the students of the same period, this girl can be said to be outstanding.
Li Gui really appreciates Xia Zhi.
On the last day of the graduation exam, each of them made a down jacket on site, which also allowed all employees in the factory to see the results of their learning.
Li Gui said goodbye to all his students before leaving, and everyone was reluctant to leave.
Li Gui took Xia Zhi to a place where no one was around and said.
"Xiao Xia, you are the smartest child I have ever seen. The master really can't bear to have you buried here. Think about it. If you are willing, the master can discuss it with someone and our factory director after he goes back. You are transferred to work in a garment factory in Haishi."
“That’s where you develop.”
Li Gui really cherishes his talents.
Xia Zhi shook his head,
"Master, I said that I would contribute my youth to the construction of the frontier. This is my vast world.
Although being in Haishi may be beneficial to my personal development in the future, we need talents here, and we need people who are willing to sacrifice themselves and contribute to the development of this place.
Only by using my abilities here can I contribute to more people. "
"Master, the Northwest needs talents if everyone wants to live a good life.
This place can only become more and more impoverished. As you can see, all the conditions here are not as good as those in Haishi.
But although the people here work hard, they still work hard to change their lives with their hands. "
"I want to work side by side with them and work hard to change this place and create a brand-new Northwest, so that this agricultural reclamation area can truly be full of vitality."
Li Gui looked at Xia Zhi with admiration in his eyes, and had to admit that even he was in his mind.
Haishi people who treat all outsiders as country people will be moved by the selfless spirit of the girl in front of them with their high sense of superiority.
This is pure nobility.
"Okay, Xiaoxia, if you encounter any difficulties in this area in the future, just write to the master.
We have time to communicate more. The styles, fabrics, etc. that the master has access to in Haishi are more convenient than here. If you need any help at that time, just ask.
The master will definitely help you. "
Xia Zhi got a good mentor and friend.
This was something I didn’t have in my previous life.
