When Jia Dongxu saw Liu Haizhong asking about him, he replied,""Hello, Uncle Liu. I just started working this morning.”
Li Huaimin also said,
"Dongxu is now my disciple. Young people are really smart. In less than a morning, he already knows how to operate the machine by himself.”
Liu Haizhong immediately understood. Li Huaimin and Jia Dongxu were both from the Central People's Court, so it was normal for them to take care of him.
"Dongxu, you have to listen to your master more in the future. He's a seventh-grade fitter, and we don't have many seventh-grade fitter here. Don't just be smart at work, you have to think more about your master in your daily life. Helping him wash clothes and buy a pair of gloves will be good for you.”
Liu Haizhong began to impart his experience in taking in disciples.
Every time he accepted disciples, he would say these words to them.
Jia Dongxu agreed.
In this day and age, disciples had to kneel and lick their masters 'boots.
Otherwise, if the master was unhappy, it would be a light punishment if he did not teach you the skills. If he made things difficult for you in front of the leaders, there were plenty of ways to make it impossible for you to be promoted.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I'll definitely listen to Master and think for him.”
"Alright, it's almost our turn. Old Liu, you eat first. It's time for us to get food.”
Li Huaimin saw that Jia Dongxu was a little nervous and interrupted the conversation with Liu Haizhong for him.
Soon, it was their turn.
The person who got the food was also an old acquaintance. It was He Daqing, who lived next door to Li Huaimin.
Seeing Li Huaimin, He Daqing also greeted him.
"Huaimin, I heard that you brought a disciple. You have to treat me to a drink some other day.”
As he spoke, he scooped up a large spoonful of vegetables and placed it into Li Huaimin's bowl.
It was twice as much as the amount of food he ordered for others.
"Why do we have to do it another day? Let's just forget about it today. I'll buy some meat home tonight, but I don't know how to cook.”
Li Huaimin laughed.
He Daqing was a little rough, but he didn't have any bad intentions. He was one of the people in the Council who was worth interacting with.
Moreover, chefs were very popular these days. Li Huaimin didn't know how to cook.
If he had a good relationship with He Daqing, he would not have to go out to find people when he had banquets or invited people to kill in the future.
"That's for sure. Just you wait and see, our Old He's craftsmanship is not just for show.”
He Daqing also laughed out loud.
Because there were still people waiting in line behind him, Li Huaimin didn't stay for long. After getting food, he leaned to the side.
Jia Dongxu also got food and called He Daqing uncle before leaving with Li Huaimin.
The two of them took the prepared food and returned to the workshop to sit on the base of the machine tool to eat.
Yi Zhonghai was also not far away. Like Li Huaimin and Jia Dongxu, they were sitting on the base of the machine tool, glancing over from time to time while eating.
Jia Dongxu's performance today was very good. Yi Zhonghai saw it and was envious.
"I'll let you teach Dongxu more things for me. When I go back to my hometown and find the daughter of the Qin family, Dongxu will still be my disciple sooner or later.”
Yi Zhonghai swallowed a mouthful of food and thought sourly in his heart.
After lunch, they rested for more than ten minutes.
The workers in the workshop continued their work in the afternoon.
Li Huaimin also continued to teach Jia Dongxu his operating experience. In this process, his own skills also improved at a hundredfold speed.
Soon, it was night time.
The bell rang, and the workers ended their day's work. With the Dongfanghong song echoing throughout the venue, they slowly and orderly walked out of the rolling mill gate.
"Dongxu, take the money and go to the butcher shop to buy some meat. Then, buy a few vegetables and two bottles of white wine.”
"Try your best to buy everything. Also, make sure to buy a few catties of rice.”
Li Huaimin casually took out some money and bills from his interspace.
These were the additional rewards Jia Dongxu had given Li Huaimin during his work today.
He was rewarded with 50 yuan and a variety of tickets worth about 30 yuan. The reward for this day was almost equivalent to Li Huaimin's salary for half a month.
"Alright, Master. I'll go now."
Jia Dongxu wanted to say that his master didn't need to spend money, but he had just started working and was penniless.
Even if he wanted to ask his master to spend money, he couldn't afford it.
He could only take the money and tickets that Li Huaimin gave him and run towards Dongdan Market like a gust of wind.
Li Huaimin returned home first.
Yan Bugui, that old miser, was already guarding the door. When he saw Li Huaimin come back alone, he asked with a smile,""Old Li, why don't I see your disciple? Did he lose Old Merchant's son?”
Li Huaimin didn't have any ill feelings towards Yan Bugui.
But he didn't have any good impression of her.
This old miser was too calculative. Although Li Huaimin didn't lack anything now, he didn't like to be taken advantage of.
"I told him to do something, so he'll probably be back later.”
After Li Huaimin finished speaking, he directly entered the courtyard.
When they returned to the central courtyard, He Daqing had not returned yet.
On the other hand, his son, He Yuzhu, was already cooking dinner.
"Zhu Zi, don't be so busy. Tell your dad that you and your sister will come to my house for dinner tonight.”
Silly Zhu wasn't as talkative as he would be ten years later. Under He Daqing's encouragement, he was still a little timid and shy.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before replying,
"Uncle, what's going on tonight?"
Li Huaimin smiled." It's nothing much. I just took Jia Dongxu as my disciple, so we're having a gathering with those who have a good relationship with each other."”
"Oh."
Silly Zhu replied with an 'oh' and only thanked him after a few seconds.
"Thank you, Uncle."
"You're welcome. You're busy at home now. I'll get Dongxu to call you when dinner is ready.”
Li Huaimin said with a faint smile.
It was hard to imagine that such a simple and honest idiot would become a boorish man who would beat people up in the future.
It seemed that the reason why there were beasts in this courtyard house should have a lot to do with the three unworthy elders in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai, who lived opposite his house, was the one who had the most to do with it.
Not long after, Jia Dongxu returned.
Li Huaimin asked him to go home and call Jia Zhangshi over. After all, Jia Dongxu was her son, and he would not let her off the hook for a meal.
If he asked her to come over earlier, she could also help wash the vegetables. Otherwise, he couldn't let Li Huaimin do this job.
