In the 1960s, Red Star Rolling Mill.
The dilapidated and mottled walls, the blue sky, and the posters everywhere formed this special and passionate era.
As it was nearing the end of the day, the factory's loudspeaker sounded.
"Mr. Xu Weiyang, the Grade 8 Welder of Workshop 5, has passed the engineer assessment today after working hard and learning cultural knowledge.”
"After the discussion of the various leaders, Xu Weiyang has been promoted to assistant engineer.”
" I hope that everyone will follow Comrade Xu Weiyang's example and work hard…"
Hiss!
The entire Red Star Rolling Mill was shocked by this news.
Everyone was stunned and in disbelief.
Everyone began to whisper, especially those unmarried girls. Their eyes were shining.
He even started to think about whether he should ask the matchmaker for help.
"This, how is this possible?"
"I can't believe it. Xu Weiyang has only been at the rolling mill for a few years, and he's already an engineer?”
"Master Yi Zhonghai from the first workshop has worked in the rolling mill for his entire life, but he's only a Grade 8 worker now. I heard that Xu Weiyang is only 25 years old.”
"I heard that the lowest salary for an engineer is 108 yuan. Xu Weiyang has a bright future.”
"I heard that Xu Weiyang is not married yet?”
"My daughter is pretty and can even work in the fields. I have to ask the matchmaker to go over.”
Advancing to an engineer was a big deal!
In addition, they had just gotten off work, so everyone was discussing this matter.
Many people's eyes even began to shine.
They were all thinking about their daughters or relatives to see if there was anyone suitable.
As long as she could get married to Xu Weiyang, she would definitely be able to bask in a lot of light in the future.
In this era, there was no such thing as a private enterprise.
Even small businesses were speculations, and they were existences that would definitely be resolutely attacked.
They were either farmers in the village or workers in the city.
In the era of the planned economy, workers and farmers had the highest status, and even officials were second.
Xu Weiyang was an engineer, so he was considered to have the highest status among the workers.
Not to mention, his salary was only 108 yuan.
……
In the fifth workshop.
"Wei Yang, you're amazing."
"I heard that you've been assigned to Master Wang as his disciple. You're rich now, kid. You must treat me!”
"Master Wang Tiejun is the number one engineer in our rolling mill. He often helps other units.”
“……”
Everyone surrounded Xu Weiyang and felt happy for him.
Even Xu Weiyang, who had become an engineer, was very humble and did not care at all.
Arrogance did not exist.
Thinking of the special era in the next ten years, any behavior that separated from the masses was courting death.
If you want to protect yourself, you have to blend in and even make most people believe you.
Otherwise, he would be dead meat if he were to casually put a label on you.
After packing up his tools, he walked out of the rolling mill while chatting and laughing with the others.
He went to Pigeon Market, the nearest market, bought two catties of pork, and headed home.
About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at a three-way courtyard house.
When he saw the gate of the courtyard house, Xu Weiyang sighed with emotion.
Yes, it was.
He was a transmigrator.
He had been in this world for twenty-five years. When he first transmigrated, he was in the state of an infant.
At first, he thought that it was just a simple rebirth. It was not until he was three or four years old that he realized that he had transmigrated into a world full of birds and courtyards.
After learning this, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
This movie could be said to be full of villains.
Each of them had their own schemes, all revolving around this so-called 'good person'. All kinds of schemes and plots were played out continuously.
There was only one theme, retirement!
Three stewards of the courtyard house.
Xue Bugui, the third uncle in the front yard, was stingy, while Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle in the middle yard, was good at moral kidnapping.
Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the backyard, was also a typical example of unkind parents and unfilial children.
The so-called foolish He Yuzhu was a bootlicker.
Other than that, there was also the white lotus Qin Huairu, the true villain Xu Damao, and the deaf old lady who was bent on protecting the silly old lady.
Xu Weiyang was just an ordinary resident in the backyard.
His father was a soldier who sacrificed himself on a foreign battlefield. His mother was a doctor, but because of his father's sacrifice, she was depressed for many years and passed away eight years ago.
Before his mother passed away, she had set him up with a partner.
Qin Huairu!
Initially, Xu Weiyang had rejected the idea. However, he thought that Qin Huiru had not experienced the things that happened in the original novel. Perhaps, things would definitely change for the better if she married him.
He had the confidence.
Who would have thought that Qin Huairu would change her mind after her mother passed away?
After she changed her mind, she married Jia Dongxu directly.
The reason was simple. Jia Dongxu was a first-class fitter with a salary of 23 yuan a month. He also had a mother to help out at home.
However, Xu Weiyang was different. His parents were not around. At that time, he had just entered the rolling mill and was only an apprentice. He only had 18 yuan a month.
For the sake of his life, Xu Weiyang would not say anything.
Everyone had their own choices.
However, in order to maintain her image, Qin Huairu did not want others to say that she was a gold digger. Instead, she started to slander Xu Weiyang.
Seeing that Xu Weiyang had no parents to protect him, Jia Zhangshi wanted to chase him out of the courtyard and occupy two rooms in his house.
Under Yi Zhonghai's moral coercion, the entire Siheyuan stood on Jia Zhangshi's side.
Yi Zhonghai was doing this for his retirement plan.
Of course, the most important thing was that Xu Weiyang had been too kind all these years because of his parents.
Therefore, the kind would be bullied.
Xu Weiyang exploded. He immediately called the street office, the factory security department, and even the military district.
Because his father was a martyr.
At that time, the commotion was quite big. In the end, the three elders in the courtyard were even scolded.
The matter came to an end just like that.
Of course, because of this incident, Xu Weiyang and everyone in the courtyard house had officially broken up!
Xu Weiyang did not care about this. He was too lazy to ease up with them. Instead, he began to focus on his welding skills because he knew that this was the capital he needed to survive in this era.
In her previous life, she was a science student and had a master's degree and a PhD.
What he lacked was the ability to get started.
After eight years of fumbling, he was now officially an engineer.
In the beginning, his reputation was not very good under the promotion of the courtyard house.
However, under Xu Weiyang's persistence, the eight years had been turned around.
"Yo, Wei Yang is back."
"I heard that you became an engineer. This is a joyous occasion for our Siheyuan.”
"When are we setting up a few tables to celebrate?”
As soon as Xu Weiyang entered the front yard, he bumped into Third Master Yan Bugui.
His eyes immediately fixed on the meat in his hand.
It was obvious.
The news that he had been promoted to an engineer had already spread throughout the Siheyuan.
Xu Weiyang's expression was calm.”
