Chapter 589: Autumn Harvest Ends, Lili's Current Situation
a few days later.

The grand autumn harvest has finally come to an end.

"Finally I can take a break."

The masters came back one after another, and each of them stayed in the car and was too lazy to get out.

"I've been working harder these past few days than I have in a month. My body is about to fall apart."

"Yes, if there is such a thing again in the future, I will definitely not do it. This job makes my back ache."

"I can't stand it anymore. I'll go to the bathhouse and ask the master to give me a massage. If it doesn't work, I'll take a day off tomorrow."

The masters complained in unison.

The maintenance masters and apprentices couldn't help but feel happy when they saw how hard the driver was working.

Especially the apprentices, who usually have an attitude of superiority from their masters, but now they are complaining all the time, so they should work harder.

As long as you are not dead from exhaustion, you will work yourself to death.

"What's all the noise?"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Jinwu came out.

"Captain, you've come just in time. Look how hard we've been working. Can you give us a day off tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I'm so tired these past few days. I really can't stand it if I don't rest."

"That's right. If I continue like this, I'm afraid my body will collapse first."

The masters complained to each other, and Zhang Jinwu joked, "Want a holiday?"

All the masters nodded repeatedly.

"You wish! It's impossible to give you a holiday. If I give you a holiday, what will others think? Who will do the work in the factory?"

"Alas~" The master shook his head and sighed, not having the energy to argue.

"Besides, you guys are not doing this work for nothing. Have you harvested a lot of food these days?"

These words immediately made the masters dare not refute.

After delivering food for several days, some grain was left on the carriages, but the people at the grain station thought it was too little and were too lazy to collect it.

These are all cheap for the masters, and when added up, they can add up to about ten or twenty kilograms.

Although there isn't much left after removing the mud and shelling, there's still quite a bit, so it's not a wasted effort.

Zhang Jinwu changed the subject: "Although we can't take a holiday, the factory understands that everyone is working hard. Everyone can come to the transport team to sleep tomorrow."

"As long as you finish your work, you can sleep however you want."

"That's fine. It doesn't matter where you sleep. It's just a matter of changing the place where you sleep. It's a good opportunity to take a nap."

The masters nodded in agreement. They could sleep well in the noisy environment in the countryside, and they could sleep even better in the transport team.

The masters took a short rest in the carriage, and then hurried home after getting off the horse.

“Get off work and get off work!”

Li Kailang returned to the yard happily and ran into Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao patted the projector: "Can't you see this? I'm going to the countryside to show movies."

"You've only been back for a few days, haven't you? Why are you going back to the countryside so soon?"

Xu Damao explained: "Hey, isn't the autumn harvest over these two days? The villagers should also take a break, so shouldn't I show them a movie?"

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to rush to the countryside to show them a movie before dark."

After saying that, Xu Damao rode away on his bike.

“Damao Damao!” Sai Fengxian rushed out from the yard.

"Oh my god, let's go!" Xu Damao pedaled as fast as he could and immediately left the alley.

"Why are you riding there? You don't even take your stuff with you." Sai Fengxian looked at Xu Damao's back with a complaining look, with dry food, soap and other items in his hands.

"Hmph!" Sai Fengxian kicked her foot in anger and went home angrily.

"Hoohoo, I'm glad you didn't catch up with me. I was so scared."

Xu Damao patted his chest and felt relieved that Sai Fengxian didn't chase him.

He has been really exhausted these days.

"This time in the countryside, it should be less tiring than before."

Xu Damao now goes to the countryside to show movies. It is no longer as hard as before the autumn harvest when he had to travel to two villages a day.

Shaking his head, Li Kailang ignored Xu Damao and went straight back home.

the next day.

Early in the morning, the masters came to the steel rolling mill, sleepy-eyed.

I looked at the big sun in the sky. It was so dazzling and hot.

"Pfft!"

Patting the quilts they brought from the car, the masters looked left and right to see where they could sleep most comfortably.

You can only sleep sitting down in the car, you can't lie down, which is not comfortable at all.

The masters turned around with the quilts in their arms, trying to see where it was suitable to sleep.

Finally, I saw the apprentice room. The space inside was large enough and the environment was comfortable.

Immediately, he looked at the apprentices who were chatting in the room.

"Hey, you guys, tell everyone that you don't need to come here today. Our master has requisitioned this place, so you guys go out and get busy."

As he said this, he waved his hand to signal the apprentices to leave.

The apprentices were driven out by their masters without saying a word.

They just wanted to talk to the master, but the master was right in the crowd, so what could they do?

"Oh, it's better here. The place is big enough."

The masters found something to put on the ground and then fell asleep.

After a while, the snoring of several masters could be heard, but none of them was woken up.

"Alas, the place is full. I am a little late."

A master arrived late and saw this scene and had to change his sleeping place.

"Forget it, I'll just take two more steps."

Immediately, the other masters went to the training room, which had a good location.

Apprentices came to work one after another. Seeing many apprentices gathered at the door, I immediately went over to see what was going on.

"What are you doing? Standing at the door and not going in."

An apprentice pointed inside and said, "Look, the masters have robbed our apprentice room. How do we get in?"

"Hey, didn't the captain agree that we wouldn't let the master take our territory? How can this happen? I'll go talk to the captain."

"Just tell me what you are talking about." The other apprentices immediately stopped him.

"Didn't the captain say yesterday that Master can sleep wherever he wants today? We have no right to interfere. Is it useless for you to say it?"

He was unconvinced and said, "Useless? How could it be useless? This is what the captain said at the beginning. He can't go back on his word."

"We are apprentices. What's the point of talking? Rather than bringing shame upon ourselves, we should be honest and say less and make fewer mistakes."

Suddenly, a voice came.

"What's going on? Why are you all standing here?"

"Master Wang."

"Master Wang."

Mr. Wang nodded, and someone pointed at the masters in the apprentice room, "Mr. Wang, you see, all the rooms are occupied by the masters, we can't get in."

Old Wang stretched his head and looked at the masters who were sleeping soundly. "Okay, I got it. There will be no class today. You can do whatever you want to do."

"The masters came back yesterday and haven't washed the car yet. Go wash it and check if there are any problems with the car. If there are any problems, wait until the master wakes up and tell him."

After saying that, Mr. Wang turned and left, taking out his recliner to bask in the sun.

"Come on, since even Elder Wang won't speak up for us, let's just ignore it."

"That's it, let's just get down to work."

The apprentices quickly accepted the current situation and did not dare to report it even though they were dissatisfied.

The last person who dared to go against Mr. Wang and the master has suffered a miserable end.

As they spoke, everyone couldn't help but look at someone with pity.

He was already accustomed to everyone's stares and turned a blind eye to them.

"Director Yang, do you have any instructions?" Zhang Jinwu saw Director Yang and others coming over for inspection and asked.

"Nothing, just came to take a look." Director Yang said calmly. He didn't stop walking, but looked around the transport team.

"I went to see it."

The apprentice saw Director Yang and others go to the apprentice room to check.

As expected, Director Yang and others saw the masters sleeping soundly.

"This is outrageous! Someone dares to sleep in front of Director Yang during work hours." A workshop leader immediately scolded.

Director Yang waved his hand and said, "Captain Zhang, what's going on?"

"Isn't it the autumn harvest these days? The masters have been delivering food to the countryside these days, and they are exhausted. They were planning to take a leave to rest."

"But there are too many masters involved in this. If they all take leave, the factory will be in chaos."

"I don't want to think about this. You can let everyone come to the factory to sleep. It's better than asking for leave."

Director Yang nodded: "I know about this. I didn't expect the autumn harvest to be over so soon. You did the right thing. Don't wake up the masters."

Having said that, he tiptoed out of the apprentice room.

Director Yang's behavior made the workshop leader instantly turn pale as a pig.

"Okay, let's go to the next place and take a look." Director Yang led his men away.

Before leaving, Li Huaide instructed: "Let the masters have a good rest and don't disturb them if there is nothing to do."

"I know." Zhang Jinwu nodded and watched the leaders leave.

"Ah? Director Yang didn't care about this matter. It seems that there is nothing we can do."

"No hope, no hope. Let's just work honestly today. It's only one day, it's not a big deal."

"Yeah, it's autumn now, it's nice to be outside and enjoy the breeze."

The apprentices were greatly disappointed, but they still hoped that Director Yang could teach them a lesson.

If things don't work out, they also have a strong ability to comfort themselves.

Masters who sleep soundly in the factory are usually severely criticized, but this time there was a reason.

Besides, it's not just one or two masters, but most of the masters. If he offends the masters and they deliberately make trouble behind his back, there will be nothing he can do as the factory director.

The autumn harvest is over, but there is still work for them to do.

After the grain is counted, the masters have to be troubled to send it back to the village, and they also have to be troubled to transport the grain from the factory back.

"I don't know how the autumn harvest will be this year?" Director Yang muttered to himself.

In the current situation, he has the will but not the strength, and is constrained in everything he does.

the other side.

Scrap yard.

"Ding ding ding!!!" A series of loud knocking sounds.

It turned out that the person who made the sound was not a rough man, but a beautiful girl.

"Huff~" The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, hit the scrap copper and iron hard, and then sorted them into categories.

"I didn't expect Lili to be so capable. She learned the skill so quickly. It took me a month to learn it, but Lili learned it in just a few days."

"That's right. Don't you see who taught Lili? It was me. I'm a great teacher, right?"

"Come on, stop bragging. With your mediocre skills, do you really think I don't know? It has something to do with your fear of speaking, but it's not a big deal."

"Hey, kid, if you can do it, you can teach me."

"Oh, please don't. Old Wu and I are not very familiar with each other. You are her uncle, so you teach her."

In the corner, two people were whispering about Lili who was working.

Bai Xiuwen was also watching Lili. In the first few days, Lili cried every day and did not work.

The people at the scrap yard were helpless about this. Both of their parents were in jail, and they, a group of rough guys, didn't know how to comfort them.

Someone found Bai Xiuwen.

"Xiao Bai, it's not a good thing for Lili to be like this every day. Why don't you go and comfort her? After all, you two have talked before."

Bai Xiuwen was in a dilemma: "I don't know how to start this conversation. I'm afraid that instead of comforting her, I'll make her angry."

"I think we should wait two days and see how things go. If it doesn't work, I'll go again."

Bai Xiuwen didn't know how to comfort her. He was a little timid about this matter, afraid that he would make a mistake and make the situation worse.

"Okay, let's take a look at this."

Since Bai Xiuwen couldn't help, everyone had to go find the stationmaster Wang Chengcai.

"Let's wait and see for a few days. If it really doesn't work, let her go home and come back when she feels better."

Wang Chengcai didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

"That won't work. We can keep an eye on Lili when she comes to the station. If we leave her alone at home, who knows what might go wrong."

"Stationmaster, you don't want to disappoint Old Wu. If something goes wrong, what will we do if Old Wu comes out?"

Having said that, Wang Chengcai had to get involved even if he didn't want to. Otherwise, if anything happened to Lili, he, as the stationmaster, would be involved.

He was also thinking about waiting until the situation improved, and then finding a way to get promoted and leave.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Wang Chengcai stared at Lili, who was sitting silently.

"Go call Lili over, I'll have a good talk with her and ask her what she wants to do."

I don’t know what Lili talked about with Wang Chengcai, but she seemed like a different person after she came out.

Since the conversation, Lili is no longer depressed and tearful.

Because I don’t have time, I’m busy from morning to night.

At this moment, Lili seemed to be reborn and become a new person.

"Lili, take a rest after finishing these tasks. Don't be tired all the time. It's not good for your health."

"Okay uncle, I'll take a break after finishing these tasks." Lili responded with a smile.

"That's fine, you manage your time well."

Lili noticed Bai Xiuwen watching her in the corner, but she didn't care and continued to work hard.

I don’t know why, but I feel very grateful to Bai Xiuwen and Li Kailang.

Especially Li Kailang, if he hadn't sent her parents to jail, she would not have been able to get over her previous relationship in a short time.

With younger brothers and sisters at home, she was forced by the pressure of life to look forward. Now when she thinks back on how she used to be like a pretentious little girl, she feels it was childish.

"Forget it, let's just leave everything to fate. I'll help when I can."

Bai Xiuwen no longer paid any attention to it and returned to his cabin to repair the machine that the station manager had assigned him.

Noticing Bai Xiuwen leaving, Lili's eyes were filled with calmness, without the pity she had at the beginning, nor the hatred of having been hurt.

"Oh, by the way, Lili, come out with me this afternoon and I'll show you around your territory so you can drive on your own in the future."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

"You're welcome. This was meant to be given to you."

After the uncle finished speaking, his companion beside him said, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to let Lili, a grown-up girl, go out?"

"What's inappropriate about this? Isn't this what our scrap yard is supposed to do?"

"But Lili is a girl. If everyone knew that she was doing our job, wouldn't it affect her marriage?"

Hearing this, her uncle suddenly realized that he didn't take Lili out before because he was worried that something might happen to her.

Immediately, the two of them went to find Wang Chengcai to talk about this matter.

"Why are you two making such a fuss? This is not a big deal. When Old Wu comes out, I will pass this job on to him."

"If a man brings this up, it means he doesn't like Lili at all. It's better not to talk about it, so as to avoid being hurt again."

"Yes." The two of them suddenly realized.

In the afternoon, Uncle took Lili to Lao Wu's territory to try to collect waste and bargain.

Just like when Master Xiao took Bai Xiuwen, her uncle personally took Lili on the trip.

"If you learn this skill, you will be able to make a lot of money in the future, but you have to make money slowly and steadily. Don't try to get rich overnight."

"Also, you are a girl, so don't go into the small paths in the future, to avoid running into bad guys. It's best to carry a hammer with you for self-defense."

"Got it, thanks for the reminder."

"Ah, I told you not to be so polite."

"Okay, uncle." Lili still said politely.

"Whatever you say."
