In the end, Yi Zhonghai didn't go for lunch.
Originally, there were still some people in the workshop who didn't notice the conflict between him and Li Huaimin. After this meal, everyone knew about it.
Many people mocked Yi Zhonghai for overestimating himself, but at the same time, they recognized his character.
However, due to the other party's identity as a Level 7 fitter, there were some things that they definitely would not say in front of him.
When they got home at night, they had another meal.
Because it was working hours at noon, they couldn't drink during lunch.
However, the dinner at night was different.
Since Li Huaimin was the one who spent the money, Jia Zhangshi invited everyone she knew in the front and back yard. There were more than 60 people who set up eight tables. It was almost comparable to someone getting married.
However, to Li Huaimin, this small amount of money wasn't worth much.
However, it was hard for He Daqing. He and Silly Zhu had to cook for 60 people. This workload was really not light.
"Daqing, you've worked hard tonight."
Li Huaimin had already prepared a carton of cigarettes and stuffed it into He Daqing's hands without any explanation.
He Daqing would definitely not accept the money.
But giving cigarettes was another matter.
"Good brother, you're still so polite to me. However, I really can't bear to return this cigarette to you. I'll keep it for myself.”
Although He Daqing earned a lot, he had always smoked by himself.
Li Huaimin had given him this big front door, and it could be considered that he had sent it to his heart.
"I think you're the one who's being polite to me. You're still dawdling when it comes to giving cigarettes to brothers. I haven't thanked you for inviting you to organize a banquet for so many people.”
Li Huaimin patted He Daqing's arm. It was full of muscles.
After handing out the leftovers, the residents who had eaten their fill consciously cleaned up the tables and stools.
The deaf old lady in the backyard came uninvited and also had a meal. Li Huaimin didn't chase her away and even let her bring a few leftovers when she left.
What she did would only cause the people in the hospital to complain about her, and at the same time, it would also cause hostility towards Yi Zhonghai because of her. From this aspect, it was actually beneficial to Li Huaimin.
…………
The next day, Li Huaimin went to work while buying things for the wedding.
This kind of thing couldn't be done without a woman in charge. Jia Zhangshi from the middle court originally wanted to help Li Huaimin, but Jia Zhangshi wasn't reliable, so Li Huaimin didn't dare to use her.
Fortunately, there was still Yan Bugui's wife. Wang Chunmei was quite experienced in this aspect.
She made a list for Li Huaimin and muttered to herself, asking Yan Bugui to write it down.
Li Huaimin took a look and saw that there were 70 to 80 items, ranging from gongs and palanquins to red characters. He immediately felt a headache coming on. He could only give the money to Wang Chunmei and let her and Yan Bugui be fully responsible for buying the wedding items.
Yan Bugui still wanted Li Huaimin to help Yan Jiecheng arrange work. No matter how much he liked to scheme, he didn't dare to scheme against Li Huaimin at this time.
Therefore, Li Huaimin was relieved to leave this job to them.
On the other hand, Li Huaimin went to buy the three rings and one ring and directly hired a car to send them to the Qin family. However, these things weren't betrothal gifts, but were lent to the Qin family as dowry to give them face.
Qin Dashan and Wang Shiyan's eyes widened when they saw the sound of the third turn.
Their entire village only had one bicycle and one sewing machine, and only half of them were used.
Li Huaimin had gathered the entire set by himself.
"What kind of god-like son-in-law did the fourth family find? He's too rich.”
"Although it's lent to the fourth brother and his wife as dowry, the fact that they can afford these means that they're really rich.”
"I heard he's a Grade 8 fitter at the Red Star Rolling Mill.”
"So it's a level eight worker. No wonder. Otherwise, even if ordinary people had the money to buy three turns and one ring, they wouldn't be able to get these kinds of tickets.”
On this day, everyone in the village had gathered at the entrance of Qin Huairu's house. Countless pairs of envious eyes were staring at the decorations in the courtyard.
This made Qin Huairu and his parents feel very proud. Qin Huairu wished she could follow Li Huaimin home on the spot.
However, there were still three days before the wedding. No matter how anxious he was, he could only wait.
After returning to the courtyard house, Li Huaimin continued to get busy with the wedding.
He was on leave at home today, and the rolling mill was still operating normally. Coincidentally, the higher-ups had arranged for a difficult task today, which required him to make a high-precision mold.
Everyone knew that the most complicated part of a fitter's job was to make molds, especially precision molds. Typically, a fitter of level five or six would not be able to understand them at all. Only senior workers above level seven had the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of work.
Today's mold was too precise, and the difficulty of making it was quite complicated.
All the level seven fitters in the rolling mill were gathered in the first workshop. They worked for an entire morning, but they were still unable to make the mold.
"It's too difficult. Why is the mold so complicated this time? There were many details that I couldn't control.”
"I don't know what kind of equipment it is. Why did they give this kind of task to our factory?”
"What else could it be? It's because our factory produced a level-eight fitter, and the higher-ups think highly of us.”
The last sentence was said by Yi Zhonghai.
Although Li Huaimin had already passed the grade eight locksmith test, Yi Zhonghai was still unwilling to believe that it was true.
Today, he happened to encounter a difficult problem, but Li Huaimin happened to be absent on leave. This made Yi Zhonghai, who had a lot of inner thoughts, naturally doubt if Li Huaimin really had the level of a level eight fitter.
Could it be that he had received the news long ago, so he was deliberately hiding from the mold today?
"That's right. Master Li is now a Level 8 fitter. How can we not have him do this kind of work?”
"A mold that we, a level seven fitter, can't make might be nothing in the eyes of a level eight fitter. But why isn't Master Li here today?”
Only then did the other old masters remember that there was still Li Huaimin, and they immediately began to look for him.
Director Cao said," Master Li is getting married in two days. He took a leave of absence today to buy some things for the wedding. Marriage is a major event in life. Besides, the higher-ups gave us this mold task for a total of two days. We don't have to rush it. If we really can't figure it out, we can wait for Master Li to come back tomorrow."”
Yi Zhonghai could not wait until tomorrow.
"Marriage is indeed a big deal, but it's not the wedding day yet, right?"”
Director Cao was a little unhappy when he heard this." Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean? It's not like you don't know Master Li's family situation. He doesn't have any elderly or women at home. He has to take care of his marriage alone. Do you have any objections to taking leave to go back and work?”
Yi Zhonghai quickly said,"
"Director Cao, I don't have any objections. I'm just afraid that this mold is too difficult. If Master Li can't make it, we can set aside a day to think of another way.”
"Otherwise, if he comes back tomorrow and can't make the mold, it will affect our entire rolling mill. Who will bear the responsibility?”
