Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

The next morning, Sun Dajiang got up early and looked energetic, proving that he had a good rest last night.

Seeing his son practicing boxing, he went up to practice for a while for the first time. After the practice, the father and son went to wash up together and came back to eat together.

Seeing that his father was in good shape this morning, Sun Zhengguo gave him a lot of flattery, praising his father for his powerful punches and majestic presence, which made Sun Dajiang so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After breakfast, Sun Dajiang prepared to go to work. His brothers and sisters gave their blessings and wished their father a successful start.

After arriving at the steel rolling mill, most of his workers were present, including a few with panda eyes. Sun Dajiang gathered everyone together and once again made a general mobilization before the war.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the assessment team entered the factory, and the first to participate in the assessment was the electrical department.

Sun Dajiang immediately organized the personnel to take the assessment. After a while, twenty workers had sat at the examination table. All of them were junior workers, including Lin Jiguo. The remaining six were watching from the side.

The exam was very fast and the workers had basically handed in their papers before the allotted time had expired. After several examiners urgently graded the papers, all of them passed.

Next, they began to assess hands-on ability. For a Level 1 electrician, all they had to do was to learn the basics, such as troubleshooting some minor circuit problems and some basic wiring knowledge. These were not difficult for the workers on site at all.

In less than an hour, all the assessments were completed and all the electrician workers were promoted to level 1 workers. The assessment team then started the second round of assessments without stopping.

What the assessment team didn't expect was that these workers were like people with steroids, they completed the task extremely quickly and with a very high accuracy rate, and the second round was over in a short time.

After another round of passing, all the workers were promoted to Level 2 workers. Even the assessment team was amazed. Some workers in other factories passed the first round of assessment, but not a single one passed the second round.

The assessment team wanted to announce a break, but the workers disagreed. Isn't this a waste of time? They had to continue the assessment. There was nothing they could do. In this day and age, the workers have the final say. As long as you are willing and don't mind the fatigue, then you can continue.

In the following Level 3 worker assessment, some people started to be eliminated. First, four were eliminated in the theoretical test, and then another five were eliminated in the practical test. The assessment team saw this and thought, is this normal?

The morning assessment ended here, and the results were gratifying. There were a total of 2 people in the electrician department, nine of whom were eliminated, but all of them were level workers. The remaining people continued to take the assessment.

At lunch time, all employees in the electrical department enjoyed the small canteen treatment, and even Lin Wencui was called over.

Because the factory leaders had heard about the electrical department's achievements and had high expectations for them, and there were only a few people in total, they approved 15 yuan of funds to improve the food for the electrical department.

After everyone finished their meal, they left one after another. Sun Dajiang and Lin Wencui were the last to leave, and they happened to meet Sha Zhu who came to clear the place.

"Uncle Dajiang, Aunt Wencui, we have finished eating."

Sha Zhu greeted politely.

"It's Zhuzi who's here. We've all finished eating. I heard that your canteen also took part in the assessment this morning. How's your master?"

Sun Dajiang asked.

"My master will only join in the afternoon. You know, my master doesn't get paid based on his chef rank. He gets paid as the deputy director of the cafeteria."

"That's true. Otherwise, a great Sichuan cuisine master would have gone to the state-owned restaurant in the morning. After all, that's where his stage is."

After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he was about to leave. At this time, Sha Zhu stopped Sun Dajiang and said in a low voice.

"Uncle Dajiang, Aunt Wencui, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else. I also took the test today and passed as a level 9 chef. I'm now a formal employee."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Sun Dajiang and Lin Wencui were shocked. Logically speaking, Sha Zhu's situation was rather special and it was unlikely that he would take the assessment. But now, Sha Zhu not only took the assessment, but his work grade was also raised by one level.

"Uncle Dajiang, don't you believe it? Even I don't believe it. My master asked Director Li from the logistics department for it."

Sha Zhu explained on the side.

"Then your master is really good to you. You must repay your master well in the future. Your master must have paid a heavy price this time."

They were all from the same factory, and Sun Dajiang knew what kind of person the logistics director Li Huaide was, so he reminded Sha Zhu.

"I know, everyone calls me Shazhu, but I'm not really stupid. I can now tell who is good and who is bad. I will definitely treat my master well in the future."

Sun Dajiang nodded to show his agreement. Since Sha Zhu still had to clean the table, the few of them didn't talk much and left the cafeteria and went back to the office to rest.

In the afternoon, the assessment continued. Except for Sun Dajiang, all the others participated in the level 4 worker assessment.

What is surprising is that out of the sixteen people who took the assessment, only six advanced to the next round, and Lin Jiguo was on the list of eliminated people.

Seeing that Lin Jiguo looked unhappy, Sun Dajiang stepped forward and said.

"Ji Guo, don't be discouraged. How old are you this year? All in all, you have worked for less than two years. It's already very good to pass the exam to become a Level 3 worker. Try harder next time."

Lin Jiguo’s matter was just a small episode, and it was impossible for Sun Dajiang to comfort everyone one by one. The assessment is still going on.

The pace of the Level 5 worker assessment has slowed down. After all, it gets harder as you go along. After a period of intense busyness, only three team leaders are left with the final laugh, and the rest are all eliminated.

After a short break, the Level 6 worker assessment began. This was Sun Dajiang's first appearance. Sun Dajiang had no problem at all and completed the assessment easily, advancing to the next round.

Among the remaining three team leaders, one team leader Liang Dafa advanced with difficulty, while the other two team leaders were all eliminated and stopped at level 5 workers, unfortunately being eliminated.

At this point, today's assessment came to an end. Only two people from the entire electrical stock advanced, and the rest were eliminated.

Everyone packed up their electrical tools and left the assessment site.

After returning to the office, Lin Wencui and her niece arrived soon.

"Dajiang, it's time to get off work."

Lin Wencui shouted.

"Okay, let's go."

After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, several people left the steel mill and returned to the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Yan Bugui and others stood at the gate and gave Sun Dajiang a round of blessings. Sun Dajiang politely responded one by one and walked towards home.

After returning home, Lin Wencui cooked. Sun Dajiang had nothing to do, so he went to help. Lin Jiguo went to Sun Zhengguo to brag.

Lin Jiguo passed the exam to become a level 3 worker today, and his monthly salary has increased to 49 yuan. He urgently needs someone to talk to, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable keeping it in his heart.

"Zhengguo, isn't my cousin awesome? I passed the test today and got a grade 3 job, with a salary of 49 yuan. How's that? If you need anything in the future, just come to me."

Looking at his cousin's exaggerated movements and boastful expression, Sun Zhengguo was speechless. This cousin is also a talent! Every time he wants a salary increase, he has to talk to him.

Then, Sun Zhengguo joked.

"You should save your money! Didn't grandpa tell you to save it for marrying a wife? Be careful that people will complain about you for wanting to spend money recklessly when you have it."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, Lin Jiguo's face turned red instantly.

He just didn't understand why everyone would bring up the topic of getting married when talking about him.

Is it so good to have a wife?

Why not just try marrying one?
