"Aiyo!"
The deaf old lady fell to the ground on the spot and cried out in pain.
Yi Zhonghai ran out of the house.
"Li Huaimin, you're too much of a bully. The old lady is so old, how could you hit her?”
Li Huaimin spat.
"Yi Zhonghai, you know that the old man is getting old, so you should take good care of your old deaf man. Your monthly salary is also more than 70 yuan. You can't afford to support an old man, but you still make him beg from house to house.”
Yi Zhonghai blushed." Li Huaimin, don't spout nonsense. How do you know that the old lady didn't come to my house for dinner? My family feeds more than anyone else. The old lady went to your house today to give you a chance to show her filial piety."”
"Pfft, how can she be worthy?"
"Although I, Li Huaimin, have lost both my parents, my family still has a genealogy. I'm not like you, Yi Zhonghai, a bastard who randomly picks up a beggar and treats him as an ancestor.”
Li Huaimin's words infuriated Yi Zhonghai.
At this time, the other people in the courtyard also came out to watch the show.
Jia Zhang-shi sneered at him from the side." Yo, what's going on? Are you begging on an iron plate? I say, Old Yi, you're being honest. The old lady is already so old. You brought her into our courtyard, so you should take good care of her."”
He Daqing also said,"
"That's right, Old Yi. You brought the old lady into our courtyard, but you let her come to our house every day to freeload food and drink. She didn't let you freeload and even got angry. Don't quibble. I saw everything that happened just now in the room.”
Yan Bugui walked over from the front yard, so he didn't see what happened at the beginning.
However, from their conversation, he could hear the ins and outs of the matter.
He said to Yi Zhonghai," Old Yi, you've indeed done a bad job in this matter. It's Old Li's own thing. Giving it to you is a favor. Not giving it to you is his duty. How can he snatch it away without giving it to you?”
"The old lady might be old and muddle-headed. As her nephew, you have to care more about her.”
Everyone was criticizing the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai.
The Deaf Old Lady lay on the ground and made a scene." You heartless people. You all think that I'm an old man who can be bullied easily. I don't want to live anymore. I'm going to die in front of your house."”
Seeing that Li Huaimin was unmoved, he shouted at Yi Zhonghai,"" Zhonghai, go and find the street manager. Let him see what kind of lousy neighbors he has arranged for me. I want the street to kick them out. Otherwise, I'll go to their street office every day to make a scene.”
Li Huaimin looked at the deaf old lady who was throwing a tantrum, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a disdainful sneer.
She turned around and opened the door to go home.
When Li Huaimin was eating, the deaf old lady was still making a scene outside.
By the time he was full, the Deaf Old Lady had already left, tired of scolding.
…………
The next day.
Early in the morning, the rolling mill hung up a banner welcoming the leader's assessment.
There were only two assessments a year. Most of the workers felt that their skills had improved, so each assessment was held on the weekend when the whole factory was shut down.
Although it was the weekend, those who did not register for the exam came to the rolling mill.
Since there wasn't much entertainment, it was quite interesting to watch everyone take the test.
"Did you guys hear? The leaders of the engineering department are supervising the exam this time. It's said that someone signed up for the Level 8 locksmith exam.”
"I heard that too, but our factory only has dozens of Level 7 workers. I've never heard of anyone taking the Level 8 exam this year.”
"I heard that this person seems to be from the First Mechanic Workshop. His surname is Li.”
"Master Li from Workshop 1? Li Huaimin, didn't he just take the seventh-grade locksmith exam last autumn? It's only been half a year, you can't be mistaken, right?”
"I heard it from someone. Maybe it's a mistake.”
There was a huge gap between a Level Seven and Level Eight fitter.
One was an ordinary worker, and the other was already in the category of a technician.
It was like a graduate student and a junior high school student. Not only was there a difference in actual operation, but there was also a difference in understanding and personal research of the operation of a fitter.
Yi Zhonghai also heard the news and scoffed at it.
He had stopped at Level 6 for two years and only applied for Level 7 this year after making preparations. Even so, he was still not confident, so he spent a lot of money to build connections behind his back.
Li Huaimin had only been in level 7 for half a year, and he was already trying to become a level 8 fitter.
This was simply a fantasy.
Soon, the assessment began.
According to the order, from the lowest level to the highest level, the assessment would be carried out in turn.
Of course, Li Huaimin was an exception. He was invited to a special workshop and was assessed alone under the watchful eyes of the title engineers and technicians.
"Li Huaimin, as far as I know, you only took the exam last year to become a Level 7 locksmith. Are you sure you want to challenge Level 8 now?”
The head examiner was a white-haired man in his fifties. Although he doubted Li Huaimin's strength, he didn't mock him.
"I'm sure."
Li Huaimin's attitude was firm, neither servile nor overbearing.
"Alright, in that case, get ready. We'll start the first round of assessment in ten minutes.”
…………
On the other side.
Without Li Huaimin by his side, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yi Zhonghai deliberately came to his side.
"Dongxu, how are the preparations?" I see that you're usually quite hardworking. Don't drop the ball at the critical moment. If you don't pass in the end, not only will you be letting down your own efforts, but you'll also be letting down your master's nurturing.”
Yi Zhonghai said that on purpose to create pressure for Jia Dongxu.
Little did he know that when Jia Dongxu heard Li Huaimin's name, it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
He looked at Yi Zhonghai provocatively.""Master Yi, don't worry. My master has already told me that there will definitely be no accidents in this assessment.”
"Hehe, then I wish you good luck.”
Yi Zhonghai grabbed his disciple and said to Jia Dongxu,""This is my disciple, Shi Qian. You two know each other. Today, Shi Qian will be in the same examination hall as you. When the time comes, the two of you can compare each other and see who has the higher score and comes out faster.”
"Only by competing with each other can we improve better.”
"Don't you agree, Dongxu?"
Jia Dongxu agreed.
However…
"Master Yi, Shi Qian is also taking the third-grade fitter test today?”
Level 3 fitter?
Yi Zhonghai was confused.
Shouldn't you intern fitter take the first grade?
Jia Dongxu looked at his stunned expression and felt secretly pleased. He deliberately pretended to be calm and said,""My master said that I'm already at the level of a third-grade fitter, so I'll just take the third-grade test.”
"Although I really want to improve together with Shi Qian, the premise is that he has to be on the same starting line as me.”
"Don't you agree, Master Yi?"
