Li Huaimin laughed as he took the water.
He thought to himself that this Jia Dongxu had quite a good eye.
After finishing the water in the bowl, Jia Dongxu's apprenticeship was completed.
"That's it then. After you drink the water of apprenticeship, Dongxu, you will be my disciple in the future. You should go and take over as soon as possible. I will also inform the workshop.”Li Huaimin bade farewell.
Jia Zhang-shi still didn't get off the bed, but her attitude was much more enthusiastic.
"Old Li, there's nothing much to entertain you at home. In the future, our two families will interact more. I'll have to trouble you with Dongxu's work.”
"Master, let me send you off."
Jia Dongxu had already changed the way he addressed Li Huaimin. He politely sent Li Huaimin out of the door and watched Li Huaimin return to his room before closing the door again.
At the same time.
Opposite Li Huaimin's house, Li Huilan (Aunt Yi) was saying to Yi Zhonghai,"
"Old Yi, didn't you try to rope in Old Merchant to make him choose you as the manager? Now that Old Merchant is dead, his son Dongxu will definitely take over. I think you might as well take him as your disciple.”
Yi Zhonghai smiled."
"You're thinking the same thing as me. That's what I'm thinking too. There's one more thing you didn't think of.”
"Which part didn't I think of?" Li Huilan quickly asked.”
Yi Zhonghai said proudly,"
"Old Jia is dead, Jia Dongxu no longer has a father, and Jia Zhangshi has an old headache. Who knows, one day, he might also die. At that time, Jia Dongxu will become an orphan.”
"If we can't have children, we'll have to find someone to support us in our old age. Now that I'm taking him in as my disciple, when Jia Zhangshi dies in the future, won't he be a ready-made candidate for our old age?”
Li Huilan's eyes lit up.
" That's right, Old Yi. Dongxu has a good character and is well-mannered. I used to envy Jia Zhangshi for having such a good son, but…"
"What if Jia Zhang-shi doesn't die? Although his master could be half a father, he was only half a father. He was still inferior to his own son.”
Yi Zhonghai smiled and said,"
"You don't have to worry about that. Jia Zhangshi's headache isn't simple. Just taking that imported painkiller costs 15 yuan a month. Old Jia was a Level 5 worker before, so this 10 yuan is nothing to him. If Dongxu takes over, his salary during his internship is only 20 yuan a month.”
"If the Jia Zhangs don't die in three to five years, I'll just make the higher-ups hold back Dongxu's grade, so that he won't be promoted to a grade in two to three years. When they don't even have the money to buy medicine, won't they have to take the initiative to beg me to acknowledge him as their godson?”
"Who knows, Jia Zhangshi might force her son to change his surname to Yi in order to take the medicine.”
Li Huilan also laughed.
"Old Yi, you are right. With Jia Zhang-shi's character, she would definitely do this.”
Yi Zhonghai and Li Huilan both understood Jia Zhangshi's character.
"Alright, prepare breakfast first. I'll go to the Jia family's house.”
Yi Zhonghai stood up, pushed open the door, and walked towards the Jia family's residence.
When he arrived, he did not even knock on the door and walked in.
"Hey, Dongxu, I'm making breakfast. Where's your mom?”
Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who was cooking and asked.
"My mom is in the house. Mom, Uncle Yi is here.”
Jia Dongxu quickly got up and replied politely.
Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting on the brick bed, had already seen Yi Zhonghai. However, when she saw that he had come empty-handed, her face immediately fell.
Yi Zhonghai walked in.
"Sister-in-law Zhang, the dead can't be brought back to life.”
He thought Jia Zhangshi's face was dark because her man had just died.
"What do you mean by 'grief'? It's not like your man died. It's easy to say. Are you okay? If you have something to say, say it. If not, go back.”
Jia Zhangshi said coldly.
Yi Zhonghai was a little embarrassed by her retort.
However, she still licked her lips and continued," Mrs. Zhang, although Old Merchant is gone, you, Dongxu, and our neighbors are still in the same courtyard. Old Merchant and I were colleagues in the same workshop. If you have any difficulties, just let me know. I will try my best to help if I can.”
He had said so much nonsense, but he had not mentioned the matter of taking in a disciple.
Yi Zhonghai wanted Jia Zhangshi to take the initiative to mention it so that the other party would owe him a favor.
It was a typical example of standing up and standing up.
Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes. "You don't say. Our family is indeed in a difficult situation now. Old Yi, if you're kind, lend us some money. Ten or eight yuan isn't too little, and thirty or fifty yuan isn't too much.”
This made Yi Zhonghai feel very uncomfortable.
He did not dare to play any more tricks.
She blushed and said,
"No, Mrs. Zhang, it's not impossible to lend you and Dongxu some money, but this is not a long-term plan. As the saying goes, it's better to teach someone to fish than to teach them to fish.”
"I'm a Level 6 fitter now, and I'm considered quite skilled in the rolling mill. After Dongxu completes the succession procedures, let him take me as his master. I'll teach him some skills.”
"In this day and age, nothing is better than having a skill. If you have good skills, you can get an extra ten yuan every month.”
When Jia Dongxu heard about this, he said from outside,"
"Uncle Yi, thank you, but I just became a disciple of our courtyard's Uncle Li.”
Yi Zhonghai was stunned.
"Uncle Li? You mean Li Huaimin?"
Li Huaimin was a level seven fitter, one level higher than Yi Zhonghai.
However, Li Huaimin was a rather ignorant person. Unless the leader arranged an apprentice for him, he had never taken the initiative to accept an apprentice.
Could it be that Jia Zhangshi took the initiative to look for Li Huaimin and asked him to help take care of Jia Dongxu?
"Dongxu, Mrs. Zhang, Li Huaimin's grade is indeed higher than mine, but he's definitely not as good as me as a master.”
"What is the most important thing in teaching disciples? It wasn't that he had good skills, but that he had a set of methods to teach skills. Simply put, he had strong language skills.”
"Li Huaimin is a man of few words. Usually, he won't be able to do anything with just three kicks.”
"If you don't believe me, go to the factory and ask around. Which of Li Huaimin's disciples didn't finish their apprenticeship after half a year? My disciple will be promoted to a full-time employee in three months at the earliest.”
Yi Zhonghai patted his chest.
He was quite confident in teaching his disciples.
He thought that Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu would change their minds after he said that.
Who knew that Jia Zhang-shi still had a mocking look on her face: "Yi Zhonghai, don't bully me because I've never been to the factory before. If a disciple waits for the master to take the initiative to teach her, won't she have to wait for a long time? Which disciple didn't rely on following their master to secretly learn by themselves in order to learn something?”
"Li Huaimin is a level 7 fitter. He is just one level higher than you.”
"If you really want to help us, then take out some money. Otherwise, don't talk nonsense here.”
The Jia Zhang-shi did not give Yi Zhonghai any face at all.
After all, Yi Zhonghai was not the boss of the house yet.
He was not his son's master either.
