The next morning.
Zhang Zian was dealing with the customers in the shop when he saw someone push the door open, stick his head in, and say in a rough voice,””Brother Zhang, I’m here.”
It was welder Zhao, whom he had made an appointment with yesterday. There was an Electric Tricycle parked outside the door, and the compartment was full of all kinds of decoration materials that were needed.
Zhang Zian left the customers to the staff and walked to the door.
“Woof! There are so many people in the store … Brother Zhang, you don’t need to come out, we can do our own work. I just wanted to say hello to you. ” Welder Zhao said.
“How can we do that?” Zhang Zian followed her out of the shop.”Do you need any help?”
What surprised him was that electrician Wu was also there.
“Little Zhang, I’m here to help too.” Electrician Wu waved his hand.
Today, for the convenience of work, the two of them wore old and wear-resistant work clothes, labor protection gloves, and old-fashioned liberation rubber shoes, just like how they used to work in the factory.
Zhang Zian felt a little apologetic. Since they didn’t want money, he planned to treat the two to a nearby restaurant for lunch to express his gratitude. After all, it was a favor.
He even asked Wang Qian to go to the small store next door and bring a box of mineral water over. The weather was quite hot, and they were wearing thick clothes, so they would definitely sweat a lot.
When welder Zhao heard that he was going to treat him, he happily agreed.”Brother Zhang, do you have wine at home? Bring a bottle of wine, I haven’t had a drink with you before, the wine in the restaurant is too expensive!”
Electrician Wu frowned.”When we left, sister-in-law told you to drink less outside …”
“Aiya, what can a bottle of wine do? I’m happy today. It’s rare for brother Zhang to treat me, so I’ll make an exception!” Welder Zhao didn’t care.”Wu, don’t tell on me when you get back!”
Electrician Wu shook his head. He couldn’t do anything.
Zhang Zian remembered that there should still be some white wine left by his father in the wine cabinet. He didn’t drink it himself anyway, so he might as well wait for them to finish their work and leave with two bottles. This was also a way to make friends.
He went back to the second floor of the store and rummaged for a while. He randomly chose two bottles of white wine from the wine cabinet. The grade should not be too low, because his father always drank cheap wine in the past. He wanted to save the good wine for later, but …
He sighed and went downstairs with the wine.
Wang Qian had already returned with a box of mineral water.
Seeing the wine in Zhang Zian’s hand, welder Zhao’s eyes were firmly locked on the packaging of the wine. He clicked his tongue and praised,””Not bad, brother Zhang, this is good wine! For the sake of this wine, I won’t hold it against you for leaving first yesterday. ”
“Master Zhao, you can take the wine back for a drink, but don’t drink in the afternoon. If you drink and still ride an electric bike, it’ll be dangerous.” Zhang Zian advised her,”I’ll put the wine back in the shop first. You can take it with you when you leave.” Master Wu, you …”
Welder Zhao was quite happy because the two bottles were good wine, and he was a little reluctant to drink them.
“You don’t have to give it to me. I’ve already quit drinking.” Electrician Wu waved his hands.
“Alright,” he said.
Zhang Zian put the wine back in the shop and turned around. He saw welder Zhao and electrician Wu moving the decoration materials out of the compartment of the electric Tricycle, including the wood and waterproof paint for making the odor-proof Windows, as well as other Small Parts.
“I’ll help you move it. ” Zhang Zian said.
“No, brother Zhang, you can just go and bring a ladder here … Si …” Welder Zhao had just picked up a bundle of wood and turned to talk to Zhang Zian. Suddenly, he grinned and gasped.
“Master Zhao, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Zian asked with concern.
“I’m fine, just a small cut on my hand. It’s nothing. ” Welder Zhao’s hands held the wood, and he said,””Brother Zhang, you go and find a ladder.”
“Uh … If it’s not convenient, we can do it another day. I’m not in a hurry.” Zhang Zian advised.
Welder Zhao waved his hand impatiently and said,” I’m not a delicate young man like you, asking for leave every day when I have a headache or fever, crying for my mother in pain … For old bones like us, not to mention a small cut on our fingers, I had a pimple on my butt and had it cut off in the hospital. Because I heard that there was a batch of goods that needed to be completed urgently, I laid on the bed for three days before I was discharged and returned to the factory. When I rushed to deliver the batch of goods overnight, my workmates found that the back of my pants was dyed red, Those bastards even asked me if my period is here …”
He wasn’t bragging. Electrician Wu had corroborated the story. There was indeed such a thing. For the old workers in the factory, a small cut on their fingers was nothing. It wasn’t even considered a light injury.
Zhang Zian laughed helplessly. This could be considered a unique mark of the era. In their era, the sense of collective honor was more important than life. It was difficult for modern young people to understand.
The two old masters were wearing labor protection gloves, so Zhang Zian couldn’t see the condition of the wounds. Since welder Zhao said it was fine and just a small cut, he could only let him be.
In the past, when Zhang Zian’s parents were running the Pet Shop, the small cuts on their hands that were scratched by cats had never stopped. Sometimes they were so deep that the bone could be seen, but they still worked. As welder Zhao had said, young people nowadays were too delicate.
More customers came to the Pet Shop one after another, including fans of famous. Zhang Zian saw that the shop was tight on manpower, so he greeted the two masters and told them to ask for anything they needed, then returned to the shop to help.
The morning passed quickly. At first, Zhang Zian took time to go outside twice to take a look. He saw that the two of them were working well together, deftly, measuring the dimensions, sawing the wood, and making the waterproof coating. The work was carried out in an orderly manner. They really did not need the help of a layman like him. If he were to intervene rashly, he would only make things worse. In addition, the store was quite busy, so he did not come out again.
At noon, it was time for lunch. The customers and fans in the store finally left, and Zhang Zian and the staff had some free time.
“Um … The two old chefs have been busy for a long time. I’ll treat them to a meal later. You can order your own takeaway.” He said to his staff.
Wang Qian and Li Kun also expressed that they wanted to freeload food and drink, but he refused them mercilessly.
The last few customers left in groups. Zhang Zian stretched his back and thought about which restaurant nearby was suitable for a treat. At this time, he heard a commotion at the door of the shop and electrician Wu’s exclamation,””Old Zhao! Old Zhao! What’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
Zhang Zian’s heart suddenly tightened. He looked at the staff and rushed out of the door as fast as he could.
Welder Zhao, who had been full of energy before, was now sitting on the ground with a pale face and a head full of sweat. He was panting heavily. If electrician Wu hadn’t supported him, he might have fallen to the ground directly.
