Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

In the evening, Shazhu came back pushing his newly bought bicycle.

When he passed by the front yard, he was seen by Yan Jiecheng. When he saw Sha Zhu's look, his eyes turned red with anger.

Although he didn't dare to do anything to Sha Zhu face to face, he snorted viciously after Sha Zhu passed by.

Yan Jiecheng will definitely remember this hatred of having his wife taken away from him for the rest of his life.

In the following days, He Daqing took some time to take Sha Zhu to buy some furniture, which was considered to be the decoration of Sha Zhu's two rooms.

Now the time has come to bring my wife back.

These days, Sha Zhu is cheerful when he meets everyone, except Xu Damao and Qin Huairu.

Since the incident between Qin Huairu and Xu Damao, they have been keeping a low profile. Qin Huairu doesn't often come to the pool to wash clothes anymore. She no longer wants to be called a laundry chicken.

Xu Damao basically spends most of his time in the countryside and rarely comes back.

Qin Huairu rarely shows up in public, and her belly is getting bigger day by day. She spends most of her time at Xu Damao's house and rarely comes out.

Before long, it was almost the end of the month.

This day is the steel rolling mill’s annual skills assessment.

The steel mill was much busier than usual that day. During lunch, everyone was discussing the morning assessment.

Generally speaking, the morning is the time for junior workers to be assessed, which is when the largest number of people are assessed, while the afternoon is the time for senior workers to be assessed.

Although the number of people taking the senior worker assessment is smaller, the assessment takes a little longer than that for junior workers.

He Daqing also heard everyone's discussion. After arranging for the three experts to have a meal, He Daqing returned to the office and had nothing to do. So he packed up and prepared to go to the assessment site.

He has not yet seen the specific operation of the senior worker assessment.

Because there are so many people taking the assessment, the factory has arranged a large workshop where everyone takes the assessment.

When He Daqing arrived, there were not many people left.

The junior workers who had completed the assessment went back to work. The remaining people on the scene were those who were preparing to take the senior worker assessment.

There are not too many of them, and most of them are older masters.

He Daqing looked around. Today's battle was quite big.

Director Yang personally led seven or eight people from the technical department to preside over the assessment. Some of them did not look like they were from the steel mill. They might have been invited from outside.

As he turned around, He Daqing saw Liu Pangpang in Liu Haizhong. Isn't this guy Duan Gong? Why is he here too?

He Daqing came behind Liu Haizhong and slapped him on the shoulder.

Liu Haizhong was watching the excitement when suddenly someone slapped him on the shoulder. He became angry and wanted to curse.

When I turned around, I saw that it was He Daqing, the scoundrel.

He Daqing said with a smile: "Old Liu, aren't you a section officer? Why are you still here watching the fun?"

Liu Haizhong replied unhappily: "I am going to take the seventh-level worker exam this time. We are only now starting to assess the sixth-level worker. We will take the exam later."

"Hey, Lao Liu, you are amazing. You are going to take the Level 7 exam. If you pass, won't your salary increase significantly?"

Liu Haizhong replied proudly, "That's right. I'm going to pass the seventh-level worker exam, just like Lao Yi. And our section workers will get an extra 1.5 yuan per month in subsidies compared to Lao Yi. By then, Lao Yi's salary will not be as high as mine."

"That's great, Lao Liu. If you pass the exam this time, will you treat me to a few drinks? I'll celebrate with you then. You'll soon be on the same level as Lao Yi. In our hospital, you'll be considered a high-income earner."

When he heard that he could be on equal footing with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong also said happily: "Okay, Daqing. After I pass the exam today, let's have a few drinks at my house with Lao Yan in the evening."

He Daqing patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with your long experience, you can easily get a level 7 worker. I'll wait for your good wine tonight."

Liu Haizhong was very pleased with He Daqing's compliment. His old face was almost as bright as a chrysanthemum.

The two of them were chatting there, and Liu Haizhong also introduced the assessment process and so on to He Daqing.

After a while, the assessment of the sixth-level workers was completed, and the next step was the seventh-level workers.

Since Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith, the assessment was also taken in the forging workshop. He greeted He Daqing and hurried over.

He Daqing continued to stroll and look around.

Just turned the crowd.

suddenly.

He Daqing saw someone sitting there who was beyond his expectations.

Isn’t this the old guy Yi Zhonghai?

Is his leg okay?

What is he here for?

Recently, He Daqing went to work and renovated his house. Recently, he was busy for Sha Zhu's wife.

I haven't paid attention to Yi Zhonghai's movements for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai has now become an ostrich, staying at home all day and seldom coming out.

Besides, they all live in the backyard now, so He Daqing doesn’t pay much attention to them.

He thought Yi Zhonghai was lying at home, but he didn't expect that the old guy would come to the factory today.

They are old neighbors, so He Daqing will definitely go over and say a few sarcastic words.

He Daqing avoided the crowd, squeezed next to Yi Zhonghai, and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Old Yi, you said you are lame, why are you here to watch the fun?"

Yi Zhonghai staggered after being slapped by He Daqing. He turned around and saw that it was the old bastard again.

Yi Zhonghai angrily scolded: "He Daqing, this is a steel rolling mill, where we are assessed as fitters. What do you want me to do?"

"You are just a poor cook who only wields a big spoon. Why don't you stay in the kitchen? Why do you come here to join in the fun?"

He Daqing looked at Yi Zhonghai's frustrated look and said with a smile: "Old Yi, I think your ideological awareness needs to be improved!"

"People say that you never stop learning. Can't I come and learn?"

"You want to learn? Do you think we are just playing house when it comes to locksmithing? You will never be able to learn it even if you study for your whole life!"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, if a cripple like you can pass the exam to become a Grade 7 worker, there's no reason why I, a person with all four limbs intact, can't pass it, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry at He Daqing that his hands began to tremble.

He snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't want to pay any attention to He Daqing.

He Daqing still smiled and asked, "Old Yi, let me get down to business. What did you come here for today? Is your leg healed so quickly?"

Yi Zhonghai still ignored He Daqing.

He Daqing continued to say, "Old Yi, you are not here to take the test, are you?"

Yi Zhonghai was very impatient with He Daqing's questioning and replied angrily: "Why? Can't I come to take the test?"

Yi Zhonghai has worked as a Grade 7 worker for several years. Now all the Grade 8 workers in the factory have been transferred away.

There is only one eighth-level fitter and one eighth-level riveter in the entire steel rolling mill.

These two people were not transferred because they were too old and in poor health.

Now these two people are also the treasures of the steel mill. They don't need to do any ordinary work.

Now the two of them spend most of their time instructing their apprentices and studying drawings and techniques.

Even so, Director Yang and the factory leaders treated these two people as their treasures.

Yi Zhonghai came to take the test this time even though his legs were not healed, just to get an eighth-level worker.

After becoming an eighth-level worker, he would have a certain say in the steel mill. It would be easy to deal with He Daqing.

Besides, now that he has become an eighth-level worker, the street office cannot do anything to him if someone doesn’t give him face.

In this way, he is the local tyrant in the courtyard. It is not easy to deal with He Daqing's family.

With these thoughts in mind, Yi Zhonghai came to take the test on crutches.

After all, a fitter's main work is done with his hands, and with that minor injury on his leg, he can still hold on until the end of the assessment.

After knowing Yi Zhonghai's purpose, He Daqing finally got the answer he wanted.

As for Yi Zhonghai, the two of them had become mortal enemies. How could he let Yi Zhonghai take the test so easily?

If this old guy really passes the exam and becomes an eighth-level worker, it will not be easy to deal with him in the future.

After all, if an eighth-level worker gets into trouble, the steel mill will definitely ask about it. This is also the importance of eighth-level workers.

He Daqing was thinking about how to make sure that old man Yi Zhonghai would fail the exam this time.

A voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Master He, you are here too? How is it? Is the assessment at our steel mill lively?"

He Daqing looked back and saw that it was Director Yang who came over.

"Director Yang, you are so busy, but you still have to come to the site to preside over the assessment in person. It's really hard work."

He Daqing also smiled and spoke to Director Yang.

Director Yang said cheerfully, "It's not that hard. If only our steel mill could have more senior workers, I would wake up smiling in my dreams."

"I've only been here for a while, and I saw that quite a few people passed the assessment. I guess you gained a lot from this assessment, right?"

"Yes, this year's assessment is really good. Now the steel rolling mill can have many more mid-level and senior workers."

After Director Yang finished speaking, he turned to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master Yi, although I also want you to pass the eighth-level worker exam, can your legs really hold up? Why don't you go home and heal your injury before taking the exam? There's no need to rush."

Yi Zhonghai was a little jealous when he saw how familiar He Daqing was with Director Yang. But after hearing what Director Yang said, he became more determined to take the eighth-level worker exam.

"Director Yang, my leg won't affect the assessment. After so many years of hard study, I am still very confident that I can pass the eighth-level worker exam this time."

Director Yang was also very happy to see Yi Zhonghai looking so confident.

The addition of an eighth-level worker to the factory was also his political achievement. He would feel proud if he could talk about it.

So he said, "Okay, Master Yi, let's go over there now. The assessment will start soon."

As he said this, he was about to help Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "It's okay, Director Yang. I can walk by myself."

After saying that, he was seen walking forward with a cane.

Director Yang looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. This old Master Yi is indeed a master in the factory. This spirit of persistence is worth learning from.

He smiled and said to He Daqing on the side: "Come on, Master He. Let's go and see the assessment of the eighth-level workers. You can also witness how the eighth-level workers trained by our steel rolling mill are born!"

He Daqing was worrying about how to trip up Yi Zhonghai, and then Director Yang gave him an opportunity.

Does this count as inviting a wolf into the house?
