Siheyuan: Days of bird abuse in Siheyuan

"What? You're applying for a Level 2 worker assessment?"

Workshop director Wang Zhiguo was a little surprised.

"Yes! Director, I have never stopped reading and studying over the years. My theoretical level is fine. Master Gang has given me guidance on my processing operations. I feel that my technical level has improved by leaps and bounds. It will be no problem for me to pass the assessment and become a second-level fitter."

Hou Weimin said without blushing or beating his heart.

Ok?

The qualification rate of your processed parts has only met the standard in the last two days. It was always unqualified before. But after Zheng Baoguo's guidance, you have made great progress?

Wang Zhiguo frowned and wanted to teach Hou Weimin a lesson not to be too ambitious.

"Director, Weimin's technical level has indeed reached the second level."

At this time, Zheng Baoguo, who came with Hou Weimin, also said this.

!

He was just afraid that Wang Zhiguo would refuse.

"Okay, since Master Zheng has said so, let Hou Weimin give it a try."

After all, as a former level 8 fitter, Wang Zhiguo believed that Zheng Baoguo would not lie.

Afterwards, after obtaining Wang Zhiguo's permission, Hou Weimin was taken by the technician to participate in the assessment.

……

"Inner diameter qualified!"

"Outer diameter qualified!"

“Highly qualified.”

……

The assessment for second-level fitters is also simple. There is no need for a written test for the theoretical examination. The technician will directly ask a few common sense questions that most second-level fitters will know. If you can answer most of them, you will be considered qualified.

Then they randomly picked out another drawing from several drawings and gave Hou Weimin the materials and tools required for processing. The drawing would be qualified if the parameters were within the specified range.

Today, Hou Weimin's practical level has reached level three, and it is not difficult for him to process non-special-shaped components.

When you are assessed as a senior fitter, you will need to process special-shaped parts, and that is when the true level of the fitter is tested.

After all parameters were measured, Hou Weimin was immediately announced to be promoted to a second-level fitter.

He was taken to the Labor Department.

After becoming a second-level fitter, the salary changes and personal documents need to be re-prepared.

……

After work.

Hou Weimin went to the grocery store to buy pork.

It's 80 cents per pound, but you need a meat ticket. If you go to the pigeon market or the black market, you need at least one dollar to buy pork.

Hou Weimin went there relatively late, and the so-called good meat in that era had already been bought up.

There was a large piece of meat on the chopping board with more lean meat and less fat, which was low-quality meat in that era. This was because supplies were fixed by tickets. Although life in the capital was much better than other places, the monthly quota of oil per person was not enough to eat. Naturally, people were willing to buy fat meat and take it back to refine oil for cooking.

I bought half a pound of pork, half a pound of eggs, and a portion of river shrimp.

Eggs are 37 cents per pound, and river shrimps are 90 cents per pound.

The total amount was less than two dollars!

Hou Weimin carried the food back to the courtyard.

"Wei Min, you bought so many things today?"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yan Bugui, who was holding a can of tea, saw the pork, eggs and river shrimps in Hou Weimin's hands. His saliva immediately began to water. Because he had a big family to support and his salary was not high, he almost forgot the taste of river shrimps and pork.

"Uncle, I've been promoted to Level 2 worker. I'm going to celebrate. Please come to my house for dinner tonight."

Hou Weimin said with a smile.

He knew that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were targeting him.

One of them is an eighth-level fitter and the other is a seventh-level welder. Although I have been promoted to a second-level worker, it is obviously unrealistic to confront these two people head-on.

Before you fully develop, it is important to have someone to help you.

Obviously, Yan Bugui is a very good choice.

"Okay, I will definitely come! Congratulations~ Weimin, your monthly salary can be increased to 36.5."

He said with a sour tone.

The courtyard house belongs to the collective assets of the steel rolling mill, and Hongxing Primary School is the affiliated primary school of the steel rolling mill. Yan Bugui is naturally aware of the salary grades of the workers in the steel rolling mill.

"In a few months, I can be promoted to a third-level worker."

Hou Weimin smiled and walked towards the backyard.

Yan Bugui smiled but did not agree.

To be promoted to a third-level worker, one must work for a few years after marriage to be eligible for promotion. It has only been a short time since Hou Weimin was promoted, but he is already thinking about being promoted to a third-level worker.

(Knowing that you must work for a certain number of years before you can qualify for a high-level fitter, this book has made some changes here.)

Some are too ambitious~

Qin Huairu has taken over Jia Dongxu's job for almost four years, and she is still a first-level worker!

But after thinking about it, Yan Bugui still reminded:

"Wei Min, you still need to be down-to-earth and master your skills!"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle San, don't forget to come to my house for dinner tonight~"

Waving his hand, Hou Weimin continued.

As soon as Hou Weimin arrived at the central courtyard, he found two pairs of eyes looking at him, one of which was full of hostility.

They are Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

"Humph! The Jia family is in such a difficult situation, and we are all neighbors. I am willing to flatter the Third Master, but I don't help my neighbors in need. I really have no humanity at all."

He Yuzhu said sarcastically.

"Silly Zhu, who are you talking about?"

Even a clay figure can have some temper. Sha Zhu is always making trouble, so Hou Weimin is naturally unhappy.

"I'm talking to myself, so leave it to you!"

Sha Zhu glared at Hou Weimin.

Just a fool!

Let’s slowly settle the score for how you beat me up at the Jia family!

Looking at Yi Zhonghai who had been expressionless, Hou Weimin suddenly had an idea and stepped forward and said:

"Uncle One, I have invited Uncle Three to dinner tonight. You can come too."

Ok?

Looking at Hou Weimin who was looking at him sincerely, Yi Zhonghai's brain suddenly short-circuited and he didn't understand what the other party was planning.

"The weasel gives New Year greetings to the chicken."

The silly pillar sneered.

"Silly Zhu, the uncle is a respected uncle in our courtyard, how can you say he is a chicken?"

Hou Weimin said coldly.

hmm~

Hearing Hou Weimin's words, He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment. He had just been scolding Hou Weimin, but ignored the old man. For a moment, He Yuzhu didn't know how to explain, and pointed his finger at Hou Weimin:

"You, me, you, uncle, I just said this casually, aunt, don't fall for this kid's attempt to sow discord!"

"Alright, I know you didn't mean it, forget it, I received your kindness, let's just forget about the meal."

Yi Zhonghai said indifferently with doubt.

The relationship between the two of them in the Siheyuan is now as hostile as fire and water. Now Yi Zhonghai is planning to find a way to drive Hou Weimin out of the Siheyuan!

Of course, this is not an easy thing to do. We have to take it slow and plan for the long term.

Why treat me to dinner?

Want to sue for peace?

Haha~

Yi Zhonghai sneered in his heart.

"Since the first uncle is unwilling, forget it. I can only keep my gratitude in my heart. Thanks to the first uncle for helping me to be promoted to the second-level fitter~ Thank you, I will go back first, and the third uncle will come over for dinner later."

After leaving behind some murderous words, Hou Weimin turned and left.

"Hou Weimin, have you been promoted to Level 2 fitter?"

Yi Zhonghai was incredibly authentic.

"You sickly bastard, I can beat you ten times with one hand, how can you be promoted to a second-level fitter?"

He Yuzhu also said in disbelief.

"This is all thanks to you, Uncle, for recommending Master Zheng Baoguo to Director Wang as my master. Under his guidance, many of the things I had previously been confused about regarding machinist knowledge suddenly became clear to me. So this afternoon I directly applied for the machinist assessment, and luckily I passed the assessment. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Director Wang tomorrow."

Hou Weimin said with a smile.

Every year there are promotions for forgers and fitters in the steel rolling mill, so it is naturally impossible to broadcast the announcement every time. Only when apprentices are promoted to regular employees or workers are promoted to higher levels in their job type will it be announced on the radio.

If a first-level worker like Hou Weimin is promoted to a second-level worker, it would be a sheer waste of resources to notify him.

Ok?

Hearing Hou Weimin's confident words, Yi Zhonghai guessed that what the other party said was most likely true, and his expression instantly became gloomy and uncertain.

He never expected that the plan he made would actually help the other party. Yi Zhonghai felt like screwing the hell out.

Hou Weimin turned around and left. Thinking about what kind of mood Yi Zhonghai would be in at this moment, Hou Weimin's face brightened a little.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

He Yuzhu felt a sense of betrayal and looked towards Yi Zhonghai.

"Zheng Baoguo has always been an apprentice, and he has become gloomy since his right hand became disabled. I never thought that Zheng Baoguo could actually give Hou Weimin such good guidance."

Yi Zhonghai's tone was also full of regret.

Hearing that the old man did not "betray" him, Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes became more and more serious as he looked at Hou Weimin's back.

"Damn Hou Weimin, you'll get thirty-six and a half dollars a month from now on."

He said indignantly.
