Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

It was already around 6 o'clock in the evening when Yi Zhonghai returned to the compound. Winter in the north always comes early, and it was already mid-October.

When he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by Yan Bugui again. He looked at his eyes and knew what he was thinking. "Old Yan, I collected this thing to prepare for laying eggs."

Yan Bugui also knew what Yi Zhonghai meant and did not stop him. When Yi Zhonghai was carrying the old hen and walking home and passing by Jia's house, he saw a figure flash on the window of Jia's house. Needless to say, he knew it was Jia Zhang.

After returning home, he explained a few things to Wu Xiulian and told her about the adoption. Wu Xiulian was also very excited, "Old Yi, it's a pity that it's not a boy. Why don't we wait a little longer?" Yi Zhonghai of course disagreed and said, "Both boys and girls are fine, as long as they can grow up safely. As for what will happen when they get old, I haven't thought that far. Anyway, since we have chosen to adopt, we must be responsible for the child. Whether she will take care of us in the future depends on her own conscience."

Wu Xiulian was relieved when she heard Yi Zhonghai say this! She had been feeling guilty for not being able to carry on the Yi family's legacy.

Wu Xiulian told Yi Zhonghai what happened in the yard today and rejected Qin Huairu's idea of ​​becoming her godparent. The deaf old lady really whispered to Wu Xiulian that Sha Zhu should take care of her in her old age, just as she said. But these didn't matter to Yi Zhonghai now! He was not afraid of offending the people in the yard, and he just needed to do his job well.

On Monday morning, Yi Zhonghai woke up early as usual. He got up, had breakfast, and went to the steel mill. He signed in and got meat and meat tickets. The four old hens in the space have started laying eggs, and some eggs have started to hatch! Now Yi Zhonghai rides a bicycle to work alone. Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu no longer get close to him.

Yi Zhonghai started working at his workstation. Director Yang's secretary came to inform Yi Zhonghai that he could take the eighth-level fitter exam. Yi Zhonghai then took Director Yang's car to the department to take the exam. There were indeed not many people who could take the eighth-level fitter exam, no wonder it was so rare. There were only seventeen people in total. As soon as the examiner told him to start, Yi Zhonghai began to answer the questions. He had already memorized the knowledge in his mind, so he answered the questions faster than others.

Even the examiner had no hope for Yi Zhonghai because he answered the questions too quickly and thought he had given up the exam.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to hand in his paper and leave the examination room. The examiners gathered around him and were curious about what he could write in such a short time. However, when they saw that Yi Zhonghai's theoretical answers were clear and logically organized, they were all surprised and remembered Yi Zhonghai's name in their hearts!

The afternoon exam was about parts processing. As soon as the start was given, everyone began processing. The examiner came to Yi Zhonghai and wanted to see how this comrade who had scored full marks in theoretical knowledge performed!

Yi Zhonghai knew that the examiner had come and was still processing the parts in his hands in an orderly manner. The examiner watched Yi Zhonghai working and nodded.

As the last process was completed, Yi Zhonghai was the first to complete it without any surprise! This time, even the big boss couldn't sit still and asked the examiner to pick up the caliper to measure. The result was of course passing, and the error was only 0.003. The examiner took a breath and shouted loudly, "Comrade Yi Zhonghai of Red Star Steel Rolling Plant passed the test." Director Yang, who was standing at the door, was also very happy. It seemed that the factory would produce an eighth-level fitter of its own.

As the exam was over, Yi Zhonghai and Director Yang walked out of the ministry. The secretary of the big leader followed them and called Director Yang and Yi Zhonghai to go to the leader's study.

When I arrived at the leader's study, I saw that the leader had been waiting for a long time and shouted, "Xiao Yang, congratulations, your Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is going to produce an eighth-level fitter. This must be Master Yi Zhonghai, he is indeed a rare talent."

After the big leader finished greeting and sat down, he instructed Director Yang, "Xiao Yang, you are also an old comrade in our organization. For rare talents like Master Yi, we must provide convenience and reward them generously."

Director Yang Aimin: "Boss, I will arrange it when I get back."

Hearing what Yang Aimin said, the leader looked at Yi Zhonghai on the side. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was not nervous at all, he became more and more impressed. "Master Yi, I hope you can make more contributions to the country and share your experience and technology with the steel mill."

Yi Zhonghai: "Okay, big boss"

After the conversation, Yi Zhonghai and Yang Aimin returned to the steel rolling mill. Yi Zhonghai had left an impression in front of the big boss.

As soon as Director Yang returned to the steel rolling mill, he went to a meeting without stopping. During the meeting, he wrote a report and handed it to the head of the Propaganda Department, asking him to report it. The head of the Propaganda Department did not dare to delay and went there immediately.

"Puff puff puff! Hello, hello! Congratulations to Comrade Yi Zhonghai from Workshop 1 for passing the Ministry of Industry's eighth-level worker examination and being promoted to eighth-level fitter."

As the three broadcasts were completed, the entire steel mill was in an uproar. For an eighth-level fitter, the monthly salary of 99 yuan plus a technical subsidy of 10 yuan must be at least 109 yuan. I dare not even think about it.

At the same time, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu in the forging workshop heard the broadcast and their faces turned green! Liu Haizhong thought, "I will pass the eighth-level forging exam sooner or later." Jia Dongxu thought, "Bah, if an eighth-level fitter can't teach me well, what kind of eighth-level fitter am I?" It must be said that Jia Dongxu has learned a lot from his mother Jia Zhang's personality since the death of his father.

In the third canteen, Sha Zhu naturally heard the broadcast, but he didn't feel anything! To be exact, this old man was getting further and further away from him.

In the Propaganda Department, Xu Wude applied for a job at the cinema a few days ago and gave his position to Xu Damao. When Xu Damao heard the announcement on the radio about Yi Zhonghai's promotion to level eight fitter, he was shocked and thought it would be better not to offend Yi Zhonghai.

A colleague next to him asked Xu Damao, "Is Yi Zhonghai from the same hospital as you?" Xu Damao nodded reluctantly.

After the announcement was finished, Director Yang's secretary came to call Yi Zhonghai to Director Yang's office. When they arrived at the office, Director Yang politely asked Yi Zhonghai to sit down, "Master Yi, you have brought honor to our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill today. I think you will definitely be an advanced individual this year. In addition, I will personally reward you with a sewing ticket and a watch ticket."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the bills that Director Yang stuffed into his hands and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for your cultivation, I will make more contributions to the steel rolling mill in the future."

Director Yang then said, "Master Yi, since you have passed the eighth-level worker assessment, you can focus on teaching your apprentices. How about this! You make a list of the people you want to teach and I will discuss it with the workshop director. In addition, are you qualified to be the team leader of a workshop?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Thank you Director Yang, I will definitely do my best as the team leader."

After the conversation, Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop. The workshop director Guo Dapiezi and other workers in the workshop showed respect to Yi Zhonghai. After all, he was the only level eight worker in the first workshop and he was the face of the workshop!

Yi Zhonghai, who returned to the compound in the evening, was the topic of conversation among the people in the compound after dinner. Yan Fugui's family said, "This old Yi quietly passed the examination for the eighth-level fitter. We should build a good relationship with him in the future! It will also make it easier for Yan Jiecheng to enter the steel rolling mill."

The third aunt said, "Old Yan, what's the point of thinking about this? Now that Yi Zhonghai has ignored the Jia family, how can he care about us?"

Yan Bugui glanced at the third aunt and replied, "You don't understand this. If he adopts a child, the child must go to school. He will definitely trouble me as a school teacher then. We should help him so that he can make requests at that time." After hearing what Yan Bugui said, the third aunt nodded and thought it made sense.

In the backyard of the Liu family, Liu Haizhong returned home with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes. He ignored his wife's call for dinner and asked, "Lao Liu, let's eat first! Yi Zhonghai is just a little luckier." Liu Haizhong heard his wife comfort him and temporarily put aside his resentment and started eating with chopsticks. The three sons beside him did not dare to breathe, and stood aside to eat silently. After eating, they returned to their rooms silently. During this time, the second aunt told Liu Haizhong that Guangqi was about to graduate and she would find him a matchmaker. Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said, "You can decide on these. Bring them back to me when the time comes."

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was still stuffing food into her mouth like a big fat pig. Jia Dongxu saw that his mother didn't work all day and ate a lot, but he didn't dare to say anything. After eating and drinking, Jia Zhang began to scold Yi Zhonghai. Qin Huairu said, "Mom, don't scold the old man. Now he is an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill and an old man in the yard. We often ask him to do so."

With a "slap", Jia Zhang slapped Qin Huairu and said, "You slut, what are you talking about? Why can't you scold him? His eighth-level fitter qualification must be fake. He can't even teach our Dongxu well!" Jia Dongxu, who was standing by, also thought that what his mother said was right, so he could only tell them to stop arguing and eat first!

When Banggeng heard his grandmother call him "uncle", he couldn't help but feel resentful, and his hateful eyes stared at Yi Zhonghai's house across the street!
