1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"No, no, I didn't damage his workpiece."

As soon as Yang Dapeng said this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and then he shook his head frantically and tried to change his words.

"Yang Dapeng, you keep asking me to borrow something. Now let me ask you, what is it that you want to borrow from me?"

"This……"

Yang Dapeng was speechless for a moment and looked at Chen Xiao's workbench, where there was a wrench. He pointed at the wrench and blurted out.

"I wanted to borrow a wrench from you."

"Borrow a wrench? Don't you have one on your workbench?"

Chen Xiao pointed at the wrench on Yang Dapeng's workbench and said.

"You clearly have a wrench on your own workbench, why are you asking me to borrow it?"

Yang Dapeng was just about to make up another lie when the leader stopped them with a sullen look on his face.

"enough!"

"After the assessment is over, each of you will write me a self-review. Now let's continue the assessment!"

After saying that, the leader turned around and prepared to leave.

"Leader, Chen Xiao beat me so badly. Is writing a letter of apology enough?"

Yang Dapeng felt that this punishment was too light for Chen Xiao, and that he would be disqualified from the assessment for fighting.

The leader stopped and said calmly without turning his head.

"If you don't accept, I will immediately cancel your qualification for the assessment."

"Write a letter of apology or cancel your qualification for the assessment. Yang Dapeng, you choose one."

After hearing this, Yang Dapeng lowered his head.

He was also thinking of being promoted to a level 1 fitter. The salary of a level 1 fitter was much higher than that of an apprentice. It was not worth it to give up the assessment for Chen Xiao.

After the leader left, Yang Dapeng returned to his lathe.

Chen Xiao took down the scrapped workpiece and replaced it with a new one.

If it weren't for Yang Dapeng, Chen Xiao would have passed the fitter test long ago.

With the experience from the first time, and with Yang Dapeng not coming to disrupt him this time, Chen Xiao quickly finished the two rough cuts of the workpiece.

After measuring the allowances of various parts of the workpiece with a caliper again, Chen Xiao directly started the lathe for cutting.

After a while, a conical workpiece with a shiny surface was completed.

Chen Xiao took it down and measured it with a caliper. The dimensions of each part were within the tolerance.

I looked at the time and saw that there were still five minutes left before the end of the assessment.

Chen Xiao looked at Yang Dapeng. He had now replaced the third workpiece. It was obvious that the previous two were scrapped.

Chen Xiao's mouth corners slightly raised.

"You just made my workpiece scrapped. Now it's time for revenge."

Chen Xiao quietly came behind Yang Dapeng. At this time, Yang Dapeng was concentrating on operating the lathe and did not notice that Chen Xiao had come and stood behind him.

Then Chen Xiao raised his right hand high and slapped Yang Dapeng's shoulder hard, shouting at the same time.

"Yang Dapeng!!!"

Yang Dapeng was so frightened that his whole body trembled. When he came to his senses, the workpiece on the lathe had been scrapped.

"Chen Xiao..."

"I'm not done with you!"

Yang Dapeng's face suddenly turned dark. That was his last workpiece, and it had a chance of passing the test, but now it was messed up by Chen Xiao.

He is completely finished in this assessment!

The machinist assessment is only conducted once every six months. If Yang Dapeng wants to take part in the next machinist assessment, he will have to be an apprentice for another six months.

In the past six months, the loss in salary alone is nearly one hundred yuan!

"Are you not done with me?"

"Are you angry now? Don't forget that I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

"If you want to fight, I'll wait for you in the woods behind the steel mill after get off work today!"

Chen Xiao had practiced Sanda for two years before traveling through time, so he could easily defeat a small Karami like Yang Dapeng in a one-on-one fight.

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder again and comforted him.

"Don't be discouraged, there will be another chance in half a year..."

At this time, the bell in the workshop rang.

Then the leader's voice reached everyone's ears again.

"The exam is over now. Everyone, turn off your lathes immediately. If I find anyone who hasn't turned off their lathe, their score will be canceled!"

As soon as the leader finished speaking, all the apprentices reluctantly turned off the lathes.

At this time, some are happy and some are sad.

"Hey... just a little bit, just a little bit. If you give me two more minutes, I will definitely pass the test."

"That was a close call. I was so scared. Luckily it was within the official travel allowance..."

"Why only three materials? If you gave me two more, maybe I would have passed."

……

Then, the leader took a caliper and began to measure the size of the apprentice's workpiece.

Although there was only one leader in charge of the inspection, the speed was still very fast.

After a while, he came to Chen Xiao.

The leader picked up the workpiece made by Chen Xiao and measured it carefully in his hands.

"Not bad, not bad, Chen Xiao, you did a great job on this workpiece."

Chen Xiao was confused at this moment.

Did he know this leader? He didn't say a word while inspecting other people's workpieces, but when it was his turn, he praised them profusely.

The leader seemed to have guessed what was in his mind and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Your mother Xiuqin and I have been co-workers for many years..."

boom……

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

Chen Xiao was shocked.

Was he a coworker who had known the original owner's mother for many years? I wonder if he was a serious or not?

Chen Xiao had just beaten Yang Dapeng and was ready to cancel his qualification for the assessment. No wonder the leader only asked him to write a self-criticism.

It turned out that the leader knew the original owner's mother.

At this time, the leader continued.

"Even if I know your mother, you still have to write this self-criticism."

After saying that, the leader left Chen Xiao and continued to inspect the workpieces made by others.

After a while, the leader completed measuring everyone's workpieces.

Then everyone was gathered together again and the assessment results were announced.

"The list of those who passed this assessment is as follows: Chen Xiao, Li Daniu, Wang Weiguo, Zhao Guoqing, etc., a total of 18 people."

"Those who didn't pass the assessment shouldn't be discouraged. Learn from the experienced instructors and strive to pass the assessment in six months."

Yang Dapeng clenched his fists and stared at Chen Xiao without saying a word.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao, he would have passed this assessment.

"Chen Xiao, you just mentioned the small woods behind the steel mill after get off work..."

"Okay, I'm just afraid you won't go again." Chen Xiao said with a disdainful smile.

"Whoever doesn't go is a grandson, just wait and see after get off work!"

After saying that, Yang Dapeng walked out of the assessment workshop directly. His name was not on the list of people who passed the assessment, so there was no point in staying there any longer.

As soon as he walked out of the assessment workshop, three people followed Yang Dapeng.

They are all Yang Dapeng's younger brothers.

"Brother Dapeng."

"Brother Dapeng."

……

Yang Dapeng nodded as if reviewing a military parade, and then spoke to the three of them.

"I'll be off work soon. The three of you will wait for me behind the steel mill."

"If I can't beat Chen Xiao in a one-on-one fight, then the three of you can come up."

The three younger brothers nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Brother Dapeng."
