Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After returning home, Zhou Tian poured rice, flour and coarse grains into jars respectively, and placed the peanut oil in the kitchen. He went upstairs to see that Sanxiao was still quietly doing his homework, so he went downstairs with peace of mind.

I went back to my bedroom, picked up the book and started studying again.

After reading for a while, he felt his eyes a little sore. He looked outside and found that it had already darkened. Putting down the book, he tiptoed upstairs and opened Sanxiao's room. When he saw that Sanxiao had already fallen asleep, he returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes, and fell asleep.

The next morning, after continuing to go to school at the third primary school, Zhou Tian came to the steel rolling mill.

As soon as he entered the workshop, he heard many people in the workshop still discussing what happened yesterday, Tuesday. Zhou Tian shook his head. He knew that within a month, the storm caused by Tuesday's incident in the factory would probably not calm down.

He went straight to his workstation, turned on the machine tool, picked up the parts that had already been sent to him by the apprentice, and started processing them without distraction.

He did not participate in the gossip among his fellow workers. For him, it would be better to practice his locksmith skills instead of spending that time.

After all, machinist skills are related to one's job. If one can reach the eighth level of machinist skills before taking the college entrance examination, it will be of immeasurable help to him in the future.

Especially now that many precision parts are blocked abroad, they need to be rubbed by hand. The better the fitter's skills, the greater the role they can play.

Naturally, he didn't want to waste time and energy.

With full concentration, soon, parts were processed one by one under his hands. With his current benchwork skills, the speed of processing parts was getting faster and faster, and the precision was getting higher and higher. In less than an hour, he completed his task for the day.

During lunch, he told his master Liu Wuming about his thoughts last night and asked for his master's opinion.

After all, he was just a software engineer who had just entered the society in his previous life. Whether in life experience or in dealing with people, he was far inferior to his master.

He hopes that the master can give him some constructive advice!

After listening to Zhou Tian's words, the master was silent for a while before saying, "Xiaotian, I know you have good intentions and want to help your fellow workers. This is actually a good thing!"

Then he frowned and said

"But you have to do everything within your ability. Are you sure you can really transform the current machine tools into better ones than before? Besides, the factory is now owned by Boss Lou. If you damage a machine tool, Boss Lou will lose a lot of money. Are you sure he will let you do this?"

After listening to his master's words, Zhou Tian fell into deep thought. He couldn't tell his master that he had a cheat and could guarantee that the machine tool would be better than before after the modification.

Moreover, he had not shown any talent in machine tools. If he went to Boss Lou now and said that he wanted to modify the machine tools, Boss Lou would probably think he was hysterical.

This is no longer a question of agreement or disagreement, but a question of interests. Capitalists themselves pursue interests. If a machine tool is damaged for the sake of Zhou Tian, ​​then there is no need to say more about this issue.

What's more, in this era, due to the foreign blockade, the importance of machine tools is incomparable to later generations. Every machine tool in the factory is treated as a treasure.

Zhou Tian figured out everything, and couldn't help showing a disappointed look and said: "Master, you are right, it seems that I thought it was too simple!"

Seeing the expression on his beloved disciple's face, Liu Wuming couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Xiaotian, we can't just look at the surface of many things. Master, I believe that since you raised this question, you must be able to do it, but we can't afford the consequences!"

"I understand, Master!"

Zhou Tian looked at his master and nodded heavily. It was indeed just as his master said. Now was not a good time to take out the machine tools for transformation, especially before the public-private partnership. As a businessman, Lou Jiancheng valued profits.

Of course, it cannot be said that Lou Jiancheng might agree, but in this situation, Zhou Tian does not want to gamble, especially since he knows Lou Jiancheng's final outcome better. He would like to have less contact with Lou Jiancheng if possible, and he tries not to have any contact with him.

After dinner, Zhou Tian and his master returned to the workshop.

Since Zhou Tian had completed his tasks for the day, he found a corner and continued reading.

Time flies when he is studying. Before he can come to his senses, the bell for the end of get off work has already rung.

Picking up his backpack, he and his master left the steel mill together, and Zhou Tian went to night school. After all, he had promised his teacher to take an exam every month, so he still needed to take it.

When he arrived at the night school, Zhou Tian walked in naturally. Perhaps because he had been there many times, the guards did not stop him.

After entering the teacher's office, Zhou Tian paused slightly, and saw that the teacher was talking to a strange old man. Both of them were having a very pleasant conversation and burst into laughter from time to time.

When Teacher Yan saw Zhou Tian who was hesitating, he waved his hand and said, "Xiaotian, come here. I'll introduce you to an old friend!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian walked to the teacher's side and looked at the strange old man. He saw that the old man looked very thin, but exuded a bookish air and gave people a gentle and elegant demeanor.

"Xiaotian, this is the principal of Peking University High School, just call him Mr. Zhang!"

Teacher Yan first pointed at the skinny old man, then pointed at Zhou Tian and said to the skinny old man: "Old Zhang, this is my new student Zhou Tian!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

When Zhou Tian heard the other party's identity, he did not dare to be negligent and immediately bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhang.

"Hello to you too. By the way, Old Yan, is this Xiao Zhou the guy you showed off to me last month?"

The thin old man seemed to remember something when he heard Zhou Tian's name, and couldn't help but look at Old Yan and asked.

"Ahem! What do you mean by showing off? Did I show off?"

Mr. Yan coughed a few times when asked by the thin old man. Especially when he saw that his student also cast his eyes on him, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"No way, I remember you came to me to brag that you had accepted a gifted student, and you asked me for a set of first-year high school exam papers, saying that you wanted to test Xiao Zhou's ability. It seems that you are talking about this kid!"

The thin old man seemed not to notice the embarrassment on Old Yan's face, and continued to ask with a smile.

Elder Yan was immediately speechless after hearing what the skinny old man said. He glared at Zhou Tian who was laughing at the side and said with his hands spread out, "Anyway, I didn't say anything wrong. So, what do you think of the result of that paper?"

The thin old man seemed to be at a loss for how to respond to what Mr. Yan said. He did not expect that his good friend would have such a shameless side. However, when mentioning the test paper, he could not help but look at Zhou Tian, ​​and an expression of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"It's really good. If the test paper was really answered by this kid in front of me, I can only say that this kid's learning talent is really extraordinary!"

As a school principal, the thin old man has seen many geniuses, but it is rare to find a student like Zhou Tian who can get full marks on the high school examination just by self-study.

Especially after knowing that Zhou Tian had never been to school, his admiration for Zhou Tian became even stronger.

He believes that if such talents are cultivated, they will be able to make great contributions to the country's development.

"That's it, then do you think I was wrong?"

Upon hearing that his old friend had acknowledged his student's talent, Mr. Yan couldn't help but reveal a smug look, which made Zhou Tian, ​​who was standing beside him, want to laugh.

After all, ever since he became Mr. Yan's disciple, he had always seen his teacher with a serious look on his face, but he had never seen him like this before.

However, he also knew that the fact that the teacher could behave like this in front of Mr. Zhang showed how good their relationship was.

"Humph, you can be so proud of yourself, but are you sure this kid can do so well in the exam this time?"

Mr. Zhang suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.

Old Yan, who was feeling proud, was stunned when he heard what Old Zhang said. He then looked at Zhou Tian and said with a smile, "Of course I'm not sure. But if he does well in the exam, I will keep my promise and let him continue to study on his own. But if he doesn't do well in the exam, then he can forget about getting any benefits from me!"

"How about it, Xiaotian, tell me yourself, are you confident about this exam?"

Good god! Zhou Tian was suddenly shocked and speechless at the teacher's words. He didn't expect that the teacher would transfer the pressure to him before the bet with the elders even started, and even threatened him in his words.

How should he answer this? If it were someone else, he would probably have been uneasy. Fortunately, it was Zhou Tian, ​​and he had the memories of his previous life. He was confident about the high school knowledge. After studying for this period of time, he gradually caught up with Russian, and his political literacy also improved significantly under the teacher's usual guidance.

If it were someone else, it would be hard to say. After all, if he didn't have such an incredible talent, he probably wouldn't dare to agree to it.

"Teacher, I am sure!"

Zhou Tian met the teacher's gaze and nodded, his eyes full of confidence.

"Okay, let's try it! Lao Zhang, take out the test paper!"

Hearing that the student was so confident, Mr. Yan naturally would not hold the student back, and said to Mr. Zhang who was standing beside him.

Mr. Zhang shook his head and looked at his friend in front of him with amusement. He knew that since his friend said so, he must have his own calculations. Hearing this, he did not think any more about it. He took out several test papers from a black folder beside him and handed them to Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan took the test paper and gave it to Zhou Tian.

"Okay, go answer the questions!"

Zhou Tian took the test paper, nodded, and walked straight to the desk. He picked up a pen from the desk and sat down to prepare to answer the questions.
