Starship Girl Express

Chapter 613 Textile Apprentice

And at this time, Nes’ mother continued to talk about her with her husband, introducing the story of Concubine Ka: "...The girl is small now, but there are models in front and back, and the family is well raised. When she grows up, she will have a good life. ...It's a pity that there are no people in the family, but their parents are leading cadres. Our family is a high-level cadre. It is a blessing to be able to marry back..."

Father: "It's a blessing or a blessing. Then talk to the director of the factory..."

Mother: "Go and go, talk about it, and talk about it, you think it’s our age? Your set still works? Besides, young people nowadays have to deal with objects first,'fall in love', When talking about emotional freedom, you old guy don’t understand... Then let our big dog and Erpi go, and see which other girl thinks..."

Father: "What you are talking about is... how about letting Hawa follow?"

Mother: "The girl is shrewd, she is a'genius and beautiful girl'! Although Hawa is as old as her, she is still a baby, and she is very skinny in school, which people look down on... The big dog can be regarded as her own. Yes, I was rated as advanced last year and should be worthy of... Nees, help your elder brother more, secretly, let alone missed the mouth, did you hear me, Nes, Nes—Neva egg! "

Ness quickly recovered: "Oh oh--"

Thinking of the past, and since Ka Fei came to the factory in the afternoon, Neesi felt that she was dizzy. Many questions were not clear, and she was very irritable, especially her mother’s enthusiastic attitude. It’s awful to eat... But since this period of time, I slowly let go. I often looked at Concubine Ka with a daze and smirked, thinking that after she became a sister-in-law, she would live in a room and go to school and work together. It’s easy to copy homework when someone is there, it’s good, it’s good to be a sister-in-law!

Concubine: "This thread...Ness, Ness——"

Ness: "...Faith Ka is an adult..."

Concubine: "Huh? What are you talking about? I have completed the coming-of-age ceremony, what's the matter?"

"Oh-" Ness quickly recovered: "Nothing is nothing, what did Ka Fei just say?"

"..." Ka Fei skillfully pulled the brakes, and then pulled down the sewing machine that was hung on the interlocking shaft, so that the automatically running equipment came to a complete stop: "I'm asking-what should I do if the thread is stuck? Here, here, in this position... The first time I sew such dense stitches, it's kind of..."

"Let me see." Ness bent over, and probed the fine silk and satin on the car. "Oh, this is a large-caliber artillery propellant bag. You must use a crimping method, otherwise it will open the thread... The seam is too tight, and the thread ends."

"It turns out I have been sewing propellant bags. It's no wonder that such a good satin can't leave seams..."

"Of course, it must be strong, tough and easy to burn. It's not that this kind of material is not good... The content of the overtime these two days is all this pocket."

Concubine Ca picked up the soft fabric on the sewing table and squeezed: "It's better than the clothes we wear..."

"Hey! Don't get dirty! It was checked out by the quality inspector. We are all unlucky on this thread!" Ness quickly stopped. When she checked the thread just now, she didn't take the fabric by hand, just poked her head over and stared. To view.

After hearing the words, Concubine Ka was so scared that she immediately put aside the silk and satin on her hand, staring at the part she had just rubbed, and said, "...no prints, no prints."

Neesi observes left and right: "Hmm, there is no mark..."

"...That, but... don't we necessarily have to touch the fabric with our wheelbarrow? What if it gets dirty?"

"You just pulled the brakes and connected the shafts! That's all oil on it, isn't it usually used by apprentices and handymen to pull it..." Niesi didn't lift her head, her face was about to hit the silk. Check on...

Concubine Cay closed her eyes and patted her forehead: "Oh! I forgot!"

These days, she does more work as an apprentice, so she has become a habit. Now that sewing has problems and needs to stop, she naturally does it herself.

Ness checked the linkage wheel of the sewing machine again, and stretched out her index finger to wipe it: "...Fortunately, mom, she has the habit of cleaning her machine before leaving."

Concubine took the scissors to cut off the thread, and the silk returned a little bit: "How can I sew without knotting? I can't start working here."

Nes: "Get up, I'll show you again..."

The time is approaching 27:30, and it’s almost time for the night shift. Since there will be school classes tomorrow, student workers are forbidden to work overtime after the night shift. Recently, the textile factory has not been too busy, and overtime has only opened half of the production line.

The overtime period is generally around 29 o'clock. Under special circumstances, student workers will work up to this point. Although it is clearly stipulated that students must leave the factory at 27:30, the policy is a policy and there are various special circumstances. For example, front-line supplies are tight, bombing warnings, and time is needed to complete work.

In this type of time when all mobilization is required, student workers will also stay to help. 29 o'clock is also considered a "night shift". After all, in the case of air raids, there is a high probability that the school will close the next day, allowing students to help with affairs at home. .

It's the limit until 29 o'clock, and it won't work anymore. The country has not yet squeezed the future. Children must rest and grow up.The overtime hours are only at 36 o'clock at the latest, that is, the clock is never turned. This is due to the military’s curfew, no matter how tight the construction period is, it is impossible to work overnight. This is a hard rule that has been handed down since the beginning of the Hundred Years’ War.

Such specific matters belong to a certain kind of "common sense", and there is no clear text, nor can it be specifically stated. You must experience life in this environment to understand this information.After working in a textile factory for so long, Concubine Ka slowly learned through her own observations that her father worked overtime until late, and as a good baby, she consciously went to bed at 29 and 30. My father had to work until the next day before coming back. I now know that he should have left work before 36 o'clock and rushed home. He wandered in the street after 36 o'clock and would be stopped for questioning.

On the day of Concubine’s coming-of-age ceremony, it didn’t dawn early in the morning and rushed to the Temple of District 12 at about four o’clock. There were many barricades along the way, but no one interrogated her. This is not to say that she is harmless to humans and animals. Everyone loves flowers and cars, but every time she encounters a checkpoint or a patrol team, she takes the initiative to meet her. In addition to showing her identity and purpose, the most important thing is to ask for directions.

It was also my father's order that when I saw the soldier, don't dodge, and greet me, and say whatever it is... It's about the route and asking for directions when discussing the itinerary.

Concubine Cao thinks that the soldiers are the most kind people, so she won't be evasive. She would salute when she saw it since she was a child... Then he asked Concubine to go home alone at night. His father asked Concubine to walk on the road with street lights, even if it was a curfew. The road will also be lit with headlights, which is convenient for patrolling and setting up cards, and at least there will be no wrestling and falling into the gutter if there are street lights...

Street lights can be ten times brighter than home lights. Due to power restrictions, each household must control the number and wattage of light bulbs. The lights must be turned off before the curfew. There are only three lights on the ceiling of Ca Fei’s house. The dim light barely reads. Basically nothing can be done at night, so important things have to be done before dark.

And the lights in the textile factory are ten times brighter than the street lights. They shine on the sewing table with more sunlight. Every corner of the factory building is bright. It makes Ka Fei feel that it is the same in daylight, and even wants to read a book in the factory. It's not that noisy here, and the mechanical sound is always ringing.

On the wall at the end of the factory building, there is also a large round clock that can be seen anywhere in the factory. There is a special, not-so-bright lamp shining on the dial.

Nes raised her head and glanced at the time: "Get off work soon."

Concubine: "Hey, I'm sewing, don't look around."

"It's okay, I can do this job with my eyes closed! You have to get to this point, relying on the feeling in your hands... it's thin and thick. I feel the pulling force of the sewing needle and thread. My mother said A story says that a senior worker was blinded by a bomb, but he could still touch the army robe with his hands!"

"so smart?"

"No, my mother is only a level 5 mechanic, so that trick will sway me, senior mechanic... I dare not think about it..."

"Yes, I heard my father say that the senior engineers there are better than his director."

"Hmm..."

"Ness, Ness..."

"Huh? Aow, what's the matter?"

"You seem to be in a daze lately? Are you sick? Or is your period coming?"

"You just came! Hmm..." Nes glared at Concubine Ka, and then began to hesitate again, annoyed.

She can’t tell Concubine that she is thinking about how to help her brother send a date invitation. The two of them don’t know each other at all. They have inquired before and asked Concubine if she remembered the last time she went to play at her house. I met her family members during the big pot meal, but it turned out that Concubine only seemed to have an impression of a few little guys.

I was worried about Concubine Ca's becoming a sister-in-law, but on the 1st of this week, my mother gave a death order to ask Concubine Ca to be out on the weekend. Ness thought that the time was still long, and she didn't know how to speak. I didn't pay attention to any one of them. How could it be the night of the 10th? It will be closed tomorrow. If you don't hurry to complete the task, you will be beaten home!

"That...Kafei!!!"

"His--what's the matter, suddenly so loud..."

"This is coming out to play!"

"Huh? Aren’t you busy every weekend before? Bringing younger siblings, washing clothes, picking vegetables, picking firewood, catching prawns, and bird eggs?" Ka Fei cocked her finger and counted the fun things Nes had done. .

"Oh, I'm free this time. Also, didn't you say you can't go as far as the mountain valley? There are shrimps and bird eggs in the city."

"It's too far, my father won't let me...but you don't take me with other fun things. Oh, are you stepping fast?"

"Oh oh oh oh -" Neesi frantically retrieved the rhythm of the sewing machine.

A production line, at least 20 linkage sewing machines, and a power mechanical shaft, as long as the sewing machine is hooked on the shaft, the sewing needles will start to reciprocate on their own. The factory production line is much cheaper than a separate manual sewing machine. However, different sewing tables may sew different products. Everyone's work progress and proficiency are different. At this time, you have to adjust the needle speed to suit you. This process is achieved by stepping on the pedal and changing the gear .

Ca Fei had already held the brake lever on the side with both hands. Once she found that Neesi could not adjust and could not keep up with the fabric speed, she would forcibly stop the sewing machine to avoid damaging the material.

Fortunately, after all, Neesi was considered a half-teacher, and as soon as he concentrated, he snatched the stitches back... After a sigh of relief, he stopped pushing too much, and started talking to Ca Fei after turning the speed to the slowest. Said: "Aren't you living alone? Zhengxiu can come out to play casually, right? How did you live these few Zhengxiu?"

"Well, go to the foundry for an internship."

"Huh? You don't want to come to the textile factory in the future?"

"No... I was heard by my dad's colleagues about my coming to the textile factory, so I asked Zhengxiu to go to their factory to see an internship...Before he left, Dad told me that his uncle and uncle were taking care of me..."

"You are really obedient, people are gone, do you do whatever you want from time to time?"

"Huh? Huh! Huh—"

Nes's bad boy remarks shocked Cafe.

"Anyway, are you going to study all day?!"

"No, uncles and uncles don't have so much time. They just take time to teach. I usually stay in the foundry library..."

"What's the difference with you at home, isn't it all about reading... and... I don't even know about you still being an apprentice in a foundry!"

"It's not an apprentice, and it doesn't count as any job. How can I put it...just like we were in the nursery when we were young, before we went to elementary school, my parents put us in the nursery on the top floor of the factory."

"Oh, oh! I see. I just put it in the factory and watched it, right? I was brought by my brother and sister when I was a child. I never went to the nursery in the factory... Oh, how is the nursery in the foundry? Isn’t it the same as here, just make room for the cotton warehouse?"

"No, we are the big conference room next to the factory director's office... They want to ask me to be the nursery'auntie' to help bring the children during the night shift."

"It's no wonder that the nursery school... you can indeed be a teacher, teaching children to read or something. In other words, when you were young, you didn't go to a special kindergarten?

"My family is not an officer, so it was good to be with my brothers and sisters..."

"Oh yes, the kindergarten outside is for military family members... Oh, no, isn't your mother from the military?"

"It's because of her mother that she took the younger brothers and sisters to the kindergarten of Dokimenrovara and they died."

"Eh! Why didn't you go there with you?"

"Hey—you curse me to death?"

"No no no no no, hehe..."

"Hey--" Kafei gave Niess a slanted look. "...I was very impressed. At that time, it was said that the three children were under too much pressure, so I left the eldest me down, saying that I was sensible and could be one. People...you don't know, when I sent my brother and sister away, I cried so badly, I didn't expect it to be the last goodbye."
