Chapter 83 Taking the opportunity
Yi Zhonghai looked down and wondered who else it could be except Jia Dongxu?
Before Yi Zhonghai could react, Jia Dongxu knelt on the ground, took two steps straight, and then hugged Yi Zhonghai's thigh and cried, "Master, you must save me."

Yi Zhonghai reacted immediately.

When Yi Zhonghai was chosen by the working group at the factory as the referee for the "investigation", his first thought was to take advantage of this opportunity to take control of Jia Dongxu and other people who were usually not very respectful to him.

It is normal for Yi Zhonghai to have this idea, after all, he came from the period before liberation.

At that time, they would do anything to learn some skills and increase their salary.

Apprenticeship in a factory is not like that of a craftsman. Craftsmen’s apprenticeship emphasizes the relationship between master and apprentice and father and son. Although apprenticeship in a factory also emphasizes this, it is still a little different.

It is not clear whether he had any income during the apprenticeship period, but after completing his apprenticeship, Jia Dongxu never gave a single cent of his salary to Yi Zhonghai.

Of course, Jia Dongxu is a special case because of Jia Zhang.

This is also the reason why Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to take apprentices like Liu Haizhong did.

It's a very simple thing. Before liberation, when apprentices like Jia Dongxu "graduated", it should have been the master like Yi Zhonghai who negotiated the salary with the foreman, and then the foreman should have negotiated the salary with Lou Bancheng.

For example, if the price was negotiated for twenty dollars, the foreman would take two dollars, and the master like Yi Zhonghai would also take two dollars, so Jia Dongxu would get sixteen dollars.

Then as long as Jia Dongxu continues to work in this factory, Yi Zhonghai can keep the two dollars.

Of course, foremen and masters generally would not be so merciful and would take more.

This was the hidden rule for factories to recruit apprentices before liberation, but after liberation, all these rules were gone.

The first thing the working group did when they entered the factory was to deal with the salary issue.

To protect the interests of ordinary workers!
Yi Zhonghai is not willing to do something that will bring no benefit.

He cannot be compared with Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong has three sons. When the three Liu family grow up, they will have troubles with the help of several senior brothers around them, so it is always much better.

But Yi Zhonghai had no descendants.

So Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Dongxu would definitely come to find him, but Yi Zhonghai did not expect Jia Dongxu to be so quick and so cowardly.

Yi Zhonghai had originally planned to find someone he knew, and let another master give Jia Dongxu a good beating in the name of caring about his apprentice.

Let this kid know his own weight and let him know that he is not qualified to escape from the protection of the Yi family.

But Yi Zhonghai really didn't expect Jia Dongxu to be like this.

Yi Zhonghai raised his eyes to look at Luo Qiaoyun who was sitting by the wall, and saw that she had a smile in her eyes and nodded to Jia Dongxu, but with an expression of contempt.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be ignorant and said calmly: "What could happen to your family? It's not like the sky is falling."

Jia Dongxu is extremely confused now, so he doesn't care about Yi Zhonghai's attitude.

But he said in a sad voice: "Master, that test, that test, I have no idea!"

Yi Zhonghai also sighed in agreement.

This made Jia Dongxu's hands cold and he broke out in cold sweats.

Jia Dongxu was protected too well by Jia Zhang.

It turned out that all the troublesome things outside were dealt with by Jia Zhang, and Jia Dongxu only needed to pretend to be a good boy.

It's not that Jia Dongxu is not smart, it's just that he has never experienced the ups and downs, so he is not that cunning. He shows all his joys and sorrows on his face, just like he looked unwilling to pay attention to Yi Zhonghai a few days ago.

Yi Zhonghai struggled for a while but failed to break free because Jia Dongxu was holding him too tightly.

Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "Let me go first, let me breathe. You are such a grown-up, but you have no sense of responsibility at all."

From Yi Zhonghai's scolding, it can be seen that Yi Zhonghai still regards Jia Dongxu as his junior.

It was a complicated mentality. He hoped that Jia Dongxu would be more mature, stable and responsible, but he was also afraid that Jia Dongxu would have his own thoughts and get out of his control. Jia Dongxu was frightened, but he let go of Yi Zhonghai's thigh.

Yi Zhonghai walked to the table and sat down, but said to Luo Qiaoyun: "Wife, is there any hot water? Make me a cup of tea. I have been in a meeting with the working group all day today, and my mouth is dry."

Jia Dongxu still had some sense, and immediately ran towards the thermos and said, "Master's wife, I'll do it."

·······
However, Qin Huairu has actually been paying attention to Jia Dongxu since he went to the Yi family. She didn't have any other thoughts, but she felt that Jia Dongxu had something on his mind and wanted to share his burden.

After all, they are husband and wife, after all, they are one.

So when she heard Yi Zhonghai entering the yard at the window, Qin Huairu couldn't help herself and got up in her small clothes and walked to the door of Yi's house.

When Yi Zhonghai criticized Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu heard it all.

She could imagine how Jia Dongxu was kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy and groveling in servility.

To be honest, this made Qin Huairu a little disappointed.

Which woman doesn’t want her man to be a responsible person?
······
However, when Jia Dongxu brought the brewed tea to Yi Zhonghai.

Looking at Jia Dongxu's eager eyes, Yi Zhonghai sighed again and said, "Dongxu, this time the working group may be serious."

Today, Jia Dongxu was frightened by everything. As soon as these words came out, Jia Dongxu's legs went weak again.

He held the table with his hands clattering, but said in a crying voice: "Master, what should I do? You have to help me."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head slowly and said seriously, "It's not like before. In the past, as long as you worked in the factory for a certain number of years, I would give the foreman some cigarettes and alcohol and he would convert you to a regular employee.

Do you think that's your ability?
That's because they give me face.

What have you learned in the past two years?

When other masters were working, the apprentices would stand by and watch how the masters did it.

For example, in the story about Liu Hai in the backyard, if the apprentice didn’t understand after reading it twice, he would be slapped in the face.

You know his apprentice, Xiao, Xiaolan, right?

Last time I got slapped in the face by Liu Haizhong, my face was swollen for a week.

What about you?

The master feels soft-hearted towards you because of the relationship between your father and me, but what have you learned in the past two years?
Now that you have some free time, why not find a place to take a nap?

You're crying to me now, what can I do? I'm still thinking about how to deal with being slapped in the face by those old guys.

Other people's apprentices are all skilled and filial, how about you? ..."

"Zhonghai!" When Luo Qiaoyun heard that Yi Zhonghai was about to take advantage of the opportunity, she quickly stopped him.

Luo Qiaoyun looked at Jia Dongxu, who looked as pale as death, and consoled him: "Your master is doing this for your own good. He is just disappointed in you. Dongxu, don't take it to heart."

After she finished talking about Jia Dongxu, she turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Zhonghai, Dongxu is still young. You have to teach him some things slowly...."
