December 5th. Today was the day of the annual technical job promotion assessment in the rolling mill.
Other than the various administrative departments, workers like fitter, blacksmith, boiler worker, plumber, and so on, as long as they met the promotion requirements, would undergo an official assessment today.
From the start of work, the various workshops began to work fervently.
Chen Yong had also arrived at the unit early today. As the section chief was responsible for supervising cheating, he was in charge of a team in the second workshop. There were several other department chiefs who came with him.
All the assessments were completed at three in the afternoon.
Naturally, some people were happy and some were sad. Some passed smoothly, while others could only come back next year.
In the second workshop that Chen Yong was in charge of supervising, there were many people from his compound who were here. Among them, there were people who participated in this assessment. Jia Dongxu was also among them, and he passed it surprisingly.
He didn't know if this kid was lucky or because he had recently taken Yi Zhonghai as his master and Yi Zhonghai had taught him well.
Perhaps it was because of some other reason, but Chen Yong saw that he was on the list of the last people who passed. It was clearly written on it: Jia Dongxu of the second workshop passed the promotion assessment. He was allowed to be promoted to a second-class fitter.
Chen Yong only found out about Jia Dongxu's apprenticeship to Yi Zhonghai after hearing Xu Damao's words.
It seemed that when the Jia family invited him to the wedding banquet that day, Jia Dongxu made a request at the wine table. At that time, Yi Zhonghai only said that he would consider it. After that, no one knew what happened. They only knew that he agreed to take this disciple in the end.
It was said that the two of them had even reported a apprenticeship ceremony.
However, Chen Yong had been in the quarantine area during the outbreak of the flu, so he did not see it.
Chen Yong didn't feel much about Jia Dongxu becoming a second-level fitter. It didn't affect him much anyway. He remembered that he died in an accident in the plot. Who would stare at a dying person every day?
Even if he didn't die, so what?
It was true that everyone lived in the same courtyard, but living in the same courtyard did not mean that they had to interact.
In the evening, at the Jia family's courtyard house.
"I knew my Dongxu was amazing. I knew he would be successful in the future since I was young. It wouldn't be a problem for him to take the third-grade exam next year.”
Jia Zhang-shi stood at the door of her house, showing off with a few aunties next door.
Xu Mingying was also standing outside the door, but she was not in the mood to listen to this. She had been married for half a month. To her, the most important thing was to find a chance to safely reveal her pregnancy.
She married into the Jia family for the sake of her child.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would never pretend to be gentle and virtuous in front of this old and stupid woman.
Just you wait, you damned old woman!
Recalling what she had experienced these days, Xu Mingying secretly glanced at Jia Zhangshi coldly.
As long as she could get through the pregnancy safely, she would see how she would deal with this old man and that good-for-nothing Jia Dongxu. He would listen to the old woman and she would have to deal with him as well.
"Mingying, did you hear me?"
Jia Zhangshi took the opportunity to show off and turned around." Your man is now a second-grade worker. Hurry up and steam our flour into steamed buns to celebrate Dongxu."”
Xu Mingying frowned slightly.
"Mom, didn't we agree that I would bring those white noodles back to my parents 'house the day after tomorrow? I can't go back empty-handed. Otherwise, the other families will laugh at me.”
"How can your return home be more important than helping Dongxu celebrate?”
Jia Zhang-shi said unhappily," Just do what I told you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Isn't it the same if you go back to your mother's house and bring some noodles? When I went back to my hometown last week, I brought Korean noodles with me, but no one laughed at me.”
Not only was Xu Mingying speechless by his shameless words, but even the aunties beside him were filled with admiration.
How could this be the same?
Jia Zhang's maiden family was in the countryside outside the city, and the village was very poor. She was very happy to have some noodles.
But how could Xu Mingying's family be the same?
The Xu family was from the city, and their family conditions were quite good. If they really took some Korean noodles back, it would be considered as deliberately mocking them. It would be strange if others did not laugh at them!
Xu Mingying was about to explode from anger.
However, for the sake of the child in her stomach, she could only suppress her anger and settle this score in the future.
"Alright, I'll do it now."
Seeing Xu Mingying obediently enter the house to make steamed buns, Jia Zhangshi smiled proudly." Look, if you want to find a daughter-in-law, you have to find someone like my Mingying. Not only is she from the city, but she also doesn't dare to go west when I say east. Aren't you envious?"”
When the aunties saw Jia Zhang-shi's smug look, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts. However, on the surface, they all smiled and repeatedly said "envy"!
At night, at Yi Zhonghai's house.
A middle-aged woman casually asked," I heard that Dongxu has been promoted to a Level 2 fitter?”
"Don't mention it."
Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly." I've been teaching him for half a month, but he hasn't improved at all. If I hadn't told Old Chen privately today that I would let one of his disciples pass and he would let me pass, how could he have passed this time?”
"Will that work?" A middle-aged woman was a little worried." If his skills are not up to standard, will he be able to do second-class work in the future?”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of him in the future. It's not a big problem. Besides Silly Zhu, only Dongxu is more suitable for this place. Silly Zhu's personality is too bad.”
"Sigh, it's all my fault. If I could give birth to a son and a daughter for you, we wouldn't have to do this.”
"Alright, alright, why are you saying this again? I don't blame you. In the future, we'll have Dongxu to support us in our old age. He even promised that if we have two sons, one of them will take my surname, Yi.”
It turned out that Yi Zhonghai had taken Jia Dongxu as his disciple because Jia Dongxu had promised to support Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age. If they gave birth to two sons, one of them would change his surname to Yi.
Actually, Jia Dongxu wasn't at a loss.
Yi Zhonghai was currently a Level 7 fitter with a monthly salary of 80 yuan. In a few years, he could even be promoted to Level 8. At that time, his monthly salary would be 99 yuan, not to mention the extraordinary status of Level 8 fitter in the factory.
One had to know that it was not easy to upgrade the worker level at this time.
It was usually very difficult to level up from level four.
Once a worker was promoted to Level 8, it was definitely the treasure of every factory. At this time, only some large factories would have Level 8 workers. For a key factory with a population of 10,000 like the rolling mill, there were no more than five Level 8 workers in the entire factory. One could imagine how precious it was.
Not only did Yi Zhonghai have a high salary, but he also had a high status.
He wanted Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age because he was worried that he would be unable to move or fall sick in the future. Jia Dongxu could help take care of him, so he didn't need Jia Dongxu to pay a single cent.
On the other hand, if Jia Dongxu really gave one of his sons the surname Yi, that child would be able to inherit everything that Yi Zhonghai and his wife left behind after their death.
Houses, money, connections, and even jobs. These were definitely worth a lot.
It was also because of this that Jia Zhangshi agreed to let her son support Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age. She also promised Jia Dongxu that they would have two children in the future and let one of them change his surname to Yi.
This was something that both parties knew.
Therefore, this matter could be said to be Zhou Yu hitting Huang Gai. One was willing to hit and the other was willing to suffer.
