"What time is it now?"
Li Huaimin asked for the time, and Jia Dongxu quickly replied,""Master, it's already 9 o'clock.”
"It's already so late?"
Li Huaimin counted in his heart. He had slept for seven hours. "It's been hard on the two of you. Hurry up and go home to rest.”
Jia Dongxu said to Silly Zhu," Zhu Zi, you should go back and rest first. If Master doesn't have an appetite at night, he doesn't need to eat. I'll help him wash up later and then go back to sleep."”
Silly Zhu was an honest person. Seeing that Li Huaimin didn't want to eat, he agreed and went back.
Jia Dongxu first washed the towel and let Li Huaimin wipe his face and body. Then he went to get some water and squatted on the ground to help Li Huaimin wash his feet.
Li Huaimin felt that he deserved it. After all, a master these days could be half a father.
A son washing his father's feet, wasn't that what he should do?
"Dongxu, this time, we both passed the exam together. Logically speaking, we should set up a few tables. How about this? When you get home, tell your mother that I'll pay for the banquet.”
" There's no need to make it too big. I'll be getting married to Qin Huairu in a few days. I'll invite a few acquaintances this time and then make it a big deal on my wedding day.”
The country's resources were scarce, and many families could not eat meat once a month. They were just waiting for something good to celebrate so that they could taste a few more mouthfuls of oil at the banquet.
Li Huaimin originally wanted to put the two banquets together, but he was afraid that people would gossip.
Therefore, he decided to make a small arrangement first. He invited the people he was familiar with in the courtyard and the workshop. The rest would be left for the wedding.
"Okay, but Master, I can't always ask you to spend money. I'm now a third-grade worker, and my monthly salary is more than 40 yuan. Why don't I pay this time?”
Jia Dongxu knew how to repay kindness.
He couldn't do such a thing.
Li Huaimin smiled and said," You're too polite with Master. You don't have to worry about spending money. You just have to learn the skills of a fitter and become a level eight worker like Master. Master will be satisfied. As for this small amount of money, Master can still afford it."”
Li Huaimin could be said to be super rich now.
Every day Jia Dongxu worked, he could get tens of hundreds of yuan in cash and notes as a reward.
In terms of spending money, there was really no need to be too calculative.
After washing his feet, Jia Dongxu went home to sleep.
Li Huaimin opened the disciple recruitment system.
Jia Dongxu had already finished his apprenticeship, but he was still Li Huaimin's apprentice. As long as he was still a fitter in the future, he would continue to contribute fitter experience to Li Huaimin, as well as a hundredfold monetary reward.
Apart from that, Jia Dongxu also gave Li Huaimin a gift bag.
Li Huaimin immediately opened the big gift bag.
[Congratulations, you have obtained a set of three-turn tickets.]
Li Huaimin was a little disappointed. He had thought that there would be some strange things in this big gift bag. He didn't expect it to be a bicycle, a watch, a sewing machine, a radio, and only tickets.
However, since it was an extra reward, Li Huaimin didn't care about it.
"It just so happens that we'll be getting married in a few days. With the sound of the third turn, Qin Huiru can get married in a more glorious manner.”
Although Li Huaimin had money and tickets now, this was the first time he had a set of three-turn and one-ring tickets.
These things were very precious now. It would be very embarrassing to be able to use one at the wedding.
…………
A night passed.
The next day, Li Huaimin didn't have to wake up with Jia Dongxu, he slept until he woke up naturally.
Pushing open the door, He Daqing was holding two stone blocks at the door to exercise. Beside him, Shazhu was doing horse stance.
"Da Qing, I'm still practicing."
Li Huaimin greeted.
He Daqing had just finished his practice. He placed the stone block on the ground with a thud and stood up. He said in a muffled voice,"That's right, Old Li. You've been waking up early every day for the past few days. I haven't seen you in the morning for a while.”
"Isn't this for the exam?" Li Huaimin said."Fortunately, I didn't work for nothing."”
He Daqing also laughed." Yeah, I really didn't expect you to pass the grade-8 worker without saying anything. Now, there are only three grade-8 workers in our factory including you. Now, you have to wait for Manager Yang to greet you first when you see him.”
Li Huaimin burst into laughter.
"Not to the point, not to the point."
"Oh right, to celebrate Dongxu and my success in the exam, I plan to set up a few tables in the factory and in the courtyard this afternoon and evening. I plan to hand over the food in the factory to the guest house. You can just go over and eat when it's time, but I'll have to trouble you with this table at night. I'm afraid I won't like the food cooked by others.”
"That's for sure. With a chef like me around, you're looking down on me if you let others do it.”
He Daqing agreed.
At this time, Jia Dongxu also came out. Li Huaimin and Jia Dongxu walked out together.
If they were in the front yard, Yan Bugui would have been waiting at the door.
"Old Li, don't forget what we agreed on before.”
Yan Bugui said with a fawning expression.
He was also worried sick about his eldest son Yan Jiecheng's job.
"Old Yan, don't worry. Although I can't guarantee it, it should be close.”
Li Huaimin didn't say anything, but this was his habit, not because he didn't have confidence.
In fact, when he had dinner with Manager Yang yesterday, he had already mentioned it.
Factory Manager Yang agreed very quickly. A Grade 8 worker was the treasure of the factory. It was nothing to arrange a person.
Not to mention that the Yan family already had a worker quota, they only needed to write a recommendation letter to recruit them. Even if it was a country bumpkin who didn't have a worker quota, as long as Li Huaimin opened his mouth, they would try their best to help him.
"That's great. Thank you, Old Li. I'll wait for your good news.”
Yan Bugui sent Li Huaimin out of the courtyard, then watched him walk out of the alley before returning to his own home with a happy expression.
They arrived at the rolling mill.
The workshop workers naturally came over to celebrate happily. Li Huaimin also announced on the spot that everyone in the workshop would go to the guest house for lunch.
The two workshop directors were also invited. Only Yi Zhonghai looked awkward.
Li Huaimin said that he was going to treat everyone in the workshop to a meal, so he was definitely included. However, with his relationship with Li Huaimin, would he be embarrassed to go?
Therefore, Yi Zhonghai spent the entire morning thinking about this matter.
If he went, he would lose face.
If he didn't go, wouldn't he become an anomaly if everyone went and he didn't go?
"Li Huaimin, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. You gave me such a big problem without batting an eyelid.”
Yi Zhonghai was a petty man, and he thought that Li Huaimin was also like him, scheming against others.
Little did he know that Li Huaimin didn't take him seriously at all.
It was just a meal. Yi Zhonghai's presence did not matter.
