Chapter 14: Homemade Shower
Su Cheng wants a bathroom, to be precise, he wants a shower. In addition to his personal habits, he prefers to improve the lives of well station workers.
The work of oil production is tiring and dirty. Let's not talk about crude oil leakage and underground maintenance, which is normal outdoor work. At the end of the day, it is also full of dust.
But the well station of the oil production team only has a faucet. For many years, the workers have been stripping their clothes and pouring them with washbasins. It's nothing in summer. When it's cool, it's hard to take a cold shower.
In addition, it is difficult to wash the oil with cold water. If you don't want to take a bath in the factory for dozens of miles, you can only fall asleep with the stench.
Oil production workers do the most basic and important work, but the conditions are the worst. Many people are sick without waiting for retirement and have to insist on going to work.
Su Cheng thought that I can't change everyone's life, but I may be able to change some people.
Dou Wanshan also hoped to have hot water every day, but he could only shake his head and said, "Our well team, who doesn't want to take a hot shower when they come back. But how expensive the boiler is. There is no money in the team at all.
Next to him, Lao Wu was stingy and said with a smile, "Mr. Su is from the city and is not used to it. However, we should have installed the shower and boiler a long time ago.
Dou Wanshan thought about it and said, "We were more than half last month. I asked the factory director to cry for two days. Maybe I can get a shower back, but there must be no boiler, so I can only use cold water."
"The old history belongs to the dragonfly. Can I give you a shower?" Lao Wu shook his head and said, "There are more than 20 oil production teams in our oil production plant. I'll give you a shower. What about other oil production teams? If you buy a full set of furniture, it will not cost more than a million.
The more Su Cheng heard it, the more wrong it became. He said, "We have our own pipeline factory. What's the matter to produce a few steel pipes? How much can it cost to make a set of spray? Another thing, if you want to wash hot water, you don't have to use a boiler.
"What should I do without a boiler?"
"Gre a tin bucket, put it high, boil hot water, pour it into the tin bucket, mix it with cold water, and put a pipe underneath. Can't it be used as a shower?" What Su Cheng said was actually the oil production team's small bathhouse he once used.
Later generations of oil production plants implemented the "five small" at the grassroots level, which are mobile small bookstores, small medicine boxes, small sports fields, small toilets and small bathhouses. In areas with better conditions, toilets are equipped with septic tanks, and bathhouses also have boilers, but in areas with poor conditions, they can only be adapted to local conditions.
Dou Wanshan thought for a moment, but sighed, "Even so, the iron sheet has to ask for money. There are dozens of people in our team, and we have to make at least three tin buckets. Counting the water pipes and so on, it costs at least four or five hundred yuan, three sets are 1,500 yuan, and there are also things that boil water, and they have to be replaced with large ones. Impossible, impossible..."
Su Cheng turned his eyes and said, "Didn't you say that everyone wants to take a hot shower?" Let's take out a little more than half of the double bonus..."
"What are you talking about!" Captain Dou was shocked and said in a low voice, "If you dare to touch everyone's bonus, as long as one person sues you, you can't eat and leave. Bathing is everyone's business, and the bonus is a personal matter. How can you mix it up?
Su Cheng looked at him speechlessly and said for a long time, "Each person can take a hot shower all the time with 10 yuan. Isn't you happy?"
"It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of principle. If you follow your approach, will the team still have to bear the cost of water and coal? Do you want to let yourself out?" Dou Wanshan said earnestly, "Xiao Su, you are still young. You have to think too much. Sometimes things are very small, and you have been caught and ruined for the rest of your life."
He thinks that if a good college student hadn't made a mistake in principle, how could he have been exiled to the oil production station?
After hearing what the captain said is so serious, Su Cheng is not easy to argue. He changed his tone and said, "Then let's find the factory and let them solve the problem of the shower. At that time, we will find a way to renovate it... Try not to spend money."
The last sentence was added in the captain's stern eyes.
Dou Wanshan is a vigorous and popular person, and it is indeed a good thing to improve the shower equipment. He took the bus back to the oil production plant after looking at the gap of not being on duty.
Su Cheng is not optimistic about his trip, but this is a necessary process.
In the evening, he spread out the table and drew a picture by himself.
Xiaohei was in the same room with him. Seeing that the good drawings were polluted by black pencils, he said sadly, "This paper is precious, can't you draw on papyrus?"
"I want to draw a picture. How can I do it with papyrus?"
"I know the mechanical drawings. The old workers in the factory all draw on papyrus first, and only when they are really used, on white paper." What Xiaohei said was a matter of trouble.
Su Cheng was stunned, but the pen in his hand did not stop.
There is a benefit of working in the oil production team. The food, drink and accommodation are all in the well station, which is extremely economical, and there is no place to go if you want to spend money. At the end of the year, the salary is basically unchanged, and it is quite a leader.
Su Cheng is not interested in saving money. He usually buys the rest of the money as a book and newspaper pen, and the drawings are one of them.
Xiaohei touched the white paper for a while. Seeing that Su Cheng was getting busy, he read the book silently. He entered the oil field after graduating from junior high school. In that year, it was said that being a worker was better than taking the college entrance examination, because the length of service of the big pot rice was more important than his education, and he had a few more years of income. However, when Xiaohei worked until he graduated from a university of his peers, the national policy began to be inclined to academic qualifications. If he had no education, he could only be a grassroots worker for a lifetime, and he had to pick up books again.
After Su Cheng painted for two days, Dou Wanshan came back angrily. He took off his clothes and shook his arm and said, "Old Shi Tie's rooster, procrastinating, I'm waiting for my hair."
"What did he say?"
"You have to go to the meeting, observe and study. In short, you don't pay."
This is a long-expected result. Su Cheng turned his head and said, "As I said before, if we make our own showers, will they pay for the operation?"
"Coal and water? That's a promise."
Su Cheng picked up the drawings and said, "That's fine. I'm off tomorrow, just going to go to Huayuan."
