Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

The exam time soon arrived. Jia Dongxu was extremely nervous that day, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He frequently left the exam room and rushed to the toilet.

Seeing Jia Dongxu so flustered, Yi Zhonghai frowned and couldn't help but scold him: "Jia Dongxu, why do you always run out? Don't you know that the exam will be your turn soon?"

Jia Dongxu stopped and his face flushed. He didn't know what was going on, but when he thought about the exam, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to go to the toilet.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai and said helplessly: "Master, I don't know what's wrong. I just want to go to the toilet when I think about the exam. Master, I can't control it."

Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Dongxu's explanation and looked at his anxious look, knowing that he was overly nervous. Yi Zhonghai had never encountered such a situation before, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. He thought for a moment, trying to calm Jia Dongxu's emotions, and said, "Jia Dongxu, try to take a few deep breaths and relax."

Jia Dongxu nodded and took a few deep breaths according to Yi Zhonghai's instructions, but still couldn't relieve the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. He greeted Yi Zhonghai again and hurried to the toilet.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's back, frowning, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. He knew Jia Dongxu worked very hard, and he didn't want him to be affected by nervousness during the exam. However, Yi Zhonghai himself didn't have any good way to help Jia Dongxu, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this time, Huang Qiang, one of Yi Zhonghai's apprentices, was a little confused. He knew exactly how to deal with this kind of nervousness, but he was usually jealous of Jia Dongxu, so he didn't know whether he should tell them this method. Huang Qiang struggled for a long time, but finally made up his mind.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk towards Yi Zhonghai. Huang Qiang's face was a little nervous and hesitant, but his eyes also flashed with a hint of determination. He said, "Master, I know a way to solve Jia Dongxu's situation, but I don't know if it will work."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Huang Qiang in surprise. He had always known that his disciples didn't like Jia Dongxu very much, because he usually took good care of Jia Dongxu. However, he didn't expect that Huang Qiang would take the initiative to help in this situation.

A warm feeling surged in Yi Zhonghai's heart, and he said with emotion: "Whether it is useful or not, Master would like to thank you on behalf of Dongxu." His eyes were full of relief.

Huang Qiang was somewhat at a loss for words by Yi Zhonghai's sudden gentle tone. He waved his hands hastily and said awkwardly, "It's all my duty. No need to thank me, no need to thank me."

At this time, Jia Dongxu came back. Huang Qiang immediately told him the method of temple massage. Jia Dongxu tried it with half-belief and half-doubt, and found that this method was indeed effective. He felt much more comfortable in his stomach and his tension was relieved.

Jia Dongxu looked at Huang Qiang with gratitude in his eyes. He said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Huang. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to take the next exam. Even if I did, I might not pass it."

Huang Qiang felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jia Dongxu's sincere eyes. He recalled his initial hesitation and wondered whether he should tell him about this method. But now that he saw Jia Dongxu thanking him so sincerely, he instantly felt that his decision was correct.

Soon, the blacksmith exam was over. It was the turn of the fitter exam. Jia Dongxu and the other candidates passed. Time passed by little by little, and beads of sweat appeared on Jia Dongxu's forehead.

He concentrated on operating the cutting tool and carefully cut the steel. He did not dare to relax for fear that the cutting would fail.

Finally, the last step was completed. Jia Dongxu felt relieved and looked at the work he had cut out, and found that it was better than any of his previous practice. He was secretly happy and felt that he had a good chance of passing the exam.

..................................................................................

After all the fitters who were going to take the exam had finished, Guo Dapiezi handed the list to Deputy Director Li. Deputy Director Li took the list, glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows with a serious expression. He cleared his throat and prepared to announce the test results.

Deputy Director Li said, "The examination has been successfully concluded. The names I am going to read out below are all comrades who have passed the examination." His voice was sonorous and powerful, giving people a sense of unquestionableness.

"Jia Dongxu, Huang Qiang, and Li Hua are second-level fitters." Deputy Director Li read out the first name with a hint of affirmation and appreciation in his voice.

When Jia Dongxu heard his name, he showed a happy expression on his face. He looked at Deputy Director Li with gratitude in his eyes. He knew that his hard work had paid off, and this result was the best affirmation for him.

Huang Qiang and Li Hua also passed the exam successfully. They congratulated each other, their faces filled with joy and pride.

Then, Deputy Factory Director Li continued to read the list: "Wu Xiao, Liu Jia, third-level fitters."

Wu Xiao and Liu Jia also heard their names. Although they were not as happy as Jia Dongxu and the others, they still looked happy. They felt that their efforts were not in vain and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

The list continued to be read, and Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were announced as seventh-level fitters. When Yi Zhonghai heard his name, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong, he didn't expect him to come over too, he thought he was the only one who passed the level 7 test, it seems he needs to work hard to pass the level 8 test. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai laughed, as if he had seen the scene of himself passing the level 8 test.

Liu Haizhong looked at the smile on Yi Zhonghai's face with some disdain, thinking that he was not like himself. He was not so happy even after passing the seventh-level fitter exam. He was still more steady. It seemed that he should be the master of the courtyard house, but it was a pity that Yi Zhonghai got there first.

After the entire list was announced, there was warm applause in the examination room. Whether they had passed the exam or not, everyone was happy for their companions.

Deputy Director Li looked at the people whose names were called and they were all happy. Those who didn't hear their names looked a little disappointed. He understood the difference in their moods. In order to comfort them, Deputy Director Li said, "Comrades who didn't pass the exam should not be discouraged. Just consider this as gaining experience. You will definitely pass next time."

Deputy Director Li's words were full of encouragement and motivation. He hoped that those who had not passed the exam could learn lessons from their failure, keep working hard, and strive to achieve good results next time.

Then, Deputy Director Li spoke a lot of official words to boost morale and affirm everyone's efforts. After he finished speaking, he felt that there was nothing else he needed to deal with, so he turned around and left the examination room.

Guo Dapiezi had been standing by and observing silently. After Deputy Director Li left, he asked everyone to disperse and go back to the workshop to continue working.

On the way back to the workshop, Yi Zhonghai walked side by side with Jia Dongxu and Huang Qiang. He looked at the two apprentices with a satisfied smile on his face.

He said to the two of them, "You two did well this time and passed the exam in one try. However, don't relax because of this. You must continue to work hard to improve your skills. There are many more exams to come, and you must continue to pass them in one try."

Huang Qiang didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to encourage him, and he was very excited. He immediately assured Yi Zhonghai: "I know, Master! I will continue to work hard!" His eyes were full of determination.

Yi Zhonghai was satisfied with Huang Qiang's answer. He nodded in affirmation. Then he turned his gaze to Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu felt the master's gaze, raised his head, and answered honestly:

"Master, I was lucky to pass the exam this time. I'm not sure if I can pass it next time, but I will definitely prepare hard and strive for better results."

Although Jia Dongxu's answer did not fully meet Yi Zhonghai's expectations, he still chose to encourage his apprentice: "Master believes in you, you have made great progress. This time your salary has increased to 5, not counting the 33.29 yuan subsidy, which should be enough for your daily expenses. But you still have to spend money in a planned way and don't be extravagant."

When Jia Dongxu heard the amount of his salary, he was delighted. He had always been worried about the financial situation of his family, and now with this stable income, he felt that his life was better protected.

He thought to himself that after Qin Huairu's child was born, their family should be able to live a better life and no longer have to worry about food shortages.
