Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 45 Double happiness is coming

In the courtyard, a group of old women are sitting in the sun, wearing the soles of their shoes, doing homework, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Recently, under the influence of Qin Huairu, the relationship between the Jia family and the owner, Westinghouse, has been on the rise. Coupled with the assistance of the sewing machine and the usual small favors, the reputation of the Jia family in the yard has improved a lot.

Right now, Mrs. Jia Zhang is sitting among a group of people holding shoe uppers, slamming them on and off, talking about the latest things from time to time.

When old women are together, there is naturally a lot of gossip.

The third mom had a belly up, with a smile on her face, and a child's clothes were piled up in the basket in her hand, and there were some needles and threads next to it, obviously preparing clothes for the children.

An aunt next to her looked at her pregnant belly, "Third Mom, when will you give birth?"

The third mother rubbed her belly and smiled, "September and October."

"Oh, from now on, there will be another mouth in the family."

Although the third mother said so, she didn't feel miserable in her heart. Instead, she was full of maternal love because of the arrival of the child.

"What are you afraid of? Who doesn't have four or five children now?"

The second aunt on the side said that there are only three boys in his family, if it wasn't for Liu Haizhong's age and physical condition, she really wanted to have another one.

"That's right, after giving birth to a child, there will be food rations, and each person will be able to feed themselves by saving one mouthful."

"Yes, so is my family, what a pity."

The three big moms nodded as they spoke.

It's just that the thought of my man's calculations again in order to make a living makes me feel a little sad.

Their family is not as good as others after all, not to mention the first and second uncles, even the silly Zhu's life is worse than theirs.

"Oh, it's just that it's hard for Lao Yan. He has so little money a month, and he still has to manage the expenses of the whole family."

The third mother picked up the clothes and said with emotion.

The aunts didn't answer these words, it's really hard to recite every family's scriptures, maybe some people in this courtyard are well off, but most of them are the same, even worse than the Yan family.

Mrs. Jia Zhang listened, and a sharp laugh sounded.

"That's right, the third master is a people's teacher, and it costs 30 yuan to retire. It's not as good as a second-level worker in our rolling mill."

"If you want me to say, the third master should just change his career. With the help of the first and second masters of our hospital, it is definitely better than being a teacher."

"In this way, having several children is not the same as supporting them."

Jia Zhangshi was talking to herself, and Qin Huairu, who came over from the side, listened, and seeing the three mothers' expressions gradually froze, she quickly pulled her sleeves to let her say a few words less.

The third mother stopped talking after hearing this, and she also knew the welfare of the workers in the rolling mill, which was considered good in this city of Forty-Nine.

It's just that my old man has been teaching all his life, so it's impossible for him to leave the workshop.

What's more, it's really easy to enter a rolling mill.

Jia Zhangshi felt Qin Huairu's tugging, looked at the third mother with winks, and knew that she had said too much.

But she didn't take it to heart, it was just like this.

At this time, a young daughter-in-law suddenly said, "I heard that today is the day of the grading assessment, and I don't know if my guy can be promoted to the second grade!"

As soon as the words were said, someone immediately replied, "My family also participated. I have been nervous these days, and I have no energy in doing things."

"Is that boring? It's because of being tired."

"Go away, I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about the importance, as long as you pass, you can do anything!"

"What if it didn't happen?"

Someone interjected.

"No, it's been three years, don't go home if you can't pass it."

"Hahaha"

At this time, a man in the rolling mill was assessing at his work station, when the hand holding the workpiece suddenly trembled, which almost ruined the assessment.

When Jia Zhang heard about the assessment, he immediately became interested.

"Listen, my family, Dongxu, will also be assessed today."

"He said this time, he will definitely be able to pass, and then he will become a second-level fitter. That's 33 fast 5. There is also a meat ticket."

The more Jia Zhang talked, the happier he became, and he didn't care about Qin Huairu's eyes.

The three mothers on the side suddenly sneered.

"That's what you said last time."

Jia Zhang suddenly stopped talking, looked at the third mother and snorted coldly.

"This time it will definitely work. The old man has guaranteed the ticket. He is an eighth-level fitter. He is sure to be right."

After finishing speaking, he once again cast his triangular eyes on the third mother, "I think some people are just jealous and don't like others."

The third mother ignored her and continued to work.

At this time, Qin Huairu suddenly retched.

The sudden change, the aunts didn't react, even Jia Zhang was in a daze, thinking about what to eat this morning?

However, the third mother thought of something first, and quickly said, "Huairu, do you have it?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiazhang asked doubtfully, "Have you got it? What have you got? What did the three mothers say?"

The third mother ignored her and continued to ask.

"Huairu, have you been here this month?"

Qin Huairu thought of something, and his face was filled with joy, "Third Mom, it's been a few days this month, and I haven't come yet."

The third mother also laughed, "You, hurry up and have a look. Maybe, we need to add a pair of chopsticks at home."

At this time, Jiazhang understood something, looked at Qin Huairu's stomach, and counted the days, and these days, he heard the sound of bed boards a lot.

Surprised on his face, he quickly pulled Qin Huairu up, "Come on, let's take a look."

After finishing speaking, he and Qin Huairu walked to the small medical clinic outside the alley.

In the rolling mill, the secondary assessment is in full swing.

The questions of this assessment were as difficult as ever, and from time to time, the first-level workers who were assessed sighed and left their stations sadly.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao was not distracted, even if he was sure of everything, he still concentrated on processing, and the workpiece in his hand gradually took shape as time passed.

On the side, Jia Dongxu was restless.

Although the work in hand is still in progress, I always feel that there is something missing, as if my heart is not going well.

Looking back, Yang Xiaotao's work was half finished, but he hadn't even finished a third, feeling resentful in his heart, he immediately speeded up.

In the workshop, people kept failing and leaving, leaving fewer and fewer people.

Xu Yuanshan was chatting with several workshop directors. He didn't pay much attention to the assessment of this kind of junior workers. The most lacking in the workshop is workers above the fourth grade. These people seriously restrict the factory's production capacity.

"Director, we have lost two machines in the third workshop, can you think of a way?"

Director Wang spoke again, and several directors were laughing when they saw this. This old Wang has been looking for this matter for almost a month.

Xu Yuanshan also had a headache, and he took good care of this general under his opponent, but how could the rolling mill be obtained just by saying it?
They don't know what's going on in the country right now?

Apart from Big Brother in the north, where else is there to sell this thing?
Glancing at Wang Guodong, he said angrily, "If you ask me for it, who should I ask for it?"

Wang Guodong lowered his head and sighed.

"You also know where the machines in our rolling mill come from. If you want it, it depends on whether they will give it to you or not?"

"That's all, they were eliminated by others."

"Besides, it's not just our family who are staring at this area. Several factories in Luoyang and Chang'an are also staring at it."

Wang Guodong didn't speak any more, and muttered in his mouth.

"Then it's okay to send an engineer. The two rolling mills can be repaired no matter what."

After saying this, several directors all looked up at Xu Yuanshan.

Several rolling mills in their factory have been damaged over the years, and they have always been in the warehouse.

"Repair? What can I use to repair it?"

"The two ninth-level engineers in our factory said that domestic experts in this field are useless, unless they are experts from Big Brother who are familiar with the structure of rolling mills."

"This is even more unreasonable. It is better to improve the function of workers."

After hearing this, a few people felt that it was the eggplant beaten by Shuang again, and they were very depressed.

"The fitters in our factory are two thousand smaller, so there is no one who can repair them!"

Wang Guodong patted his thigh, very angry.

The same goes for everyone else. There are quite a few eighth-level fitters these days, but there aren't many ninth-level engineers.

After all, the two are not the same system. The eighth-level fitter belongs to the worker system, while the engineer belongs to the technician system. Naturally, workers are popular these days.

Among other things, an eighth-level worker is much better than an ordinary technician, and is respected everywhere.

If workers want to be promoted to engineers, they must learn theoretical knowledge and become cadres.

This is why most people don't want to be engineers.

"It's over, that's great!"

"Haha, that's amazing, brother Tao!"

At this moment, many people in the crowd sighed, and several directors immediately looked over.

Wang Guodong watched it for a while, and immediately laughed, "The one in our workshop, as you know, is Lao Yang's son."

"Old Yang? Isn't that just a few months? This kid is already level two?"

A workshop director said in amazement that he became a second-level fitter in less than four months after working hard. This speed and strength are very impressive.

Xu Yuanshan was also interested, and asked what was going on, Wang Guodong answered truthfully.

"This kid loves to study. He usually holds books while resting. Two days ago, he asked me to issue a certificate. I got a library card from the library."

"He loves studying so much, he is worthy of being a high school student, he is a good seedling."

"It's a pity that Lao Yang is gone. If he is alive, he should enjoy the blessing."

Everyone was chattering, but Xu Yuanshan remembered Yang Xiaotao who loves to learn.

Yang Xiaotao, Wang Fa and the others were polite, there was nothing to be excited about, but they couldn't be too normal, so they smiled.

After all, it's 33 bucks and 5 cents and more tickets anyway.

Ah~~~
At this moment, an angry cry suddenly came from the workstation, followed by a cry of pity from the crowd.

Yang Xiaotao looked, and saw Jia Dongxu's face was depressed, and a piece of the workpiece in his hand fell to the ground. It was obviously an operation error, and the workpiece was cut off.

Yi Zhonghai at the side shook his head, completely speechless.

Originally, Jia Dongxu was doing well, as long as it is completed according to the process, it will definitely succeed.

But just after Yang Xiaotao finished, Jia Dongxu was obviously eager for success, he omitted the steps that should have been performed, and directly increased the speed, and the result was like this.

Hearing the pity of the people around him, Jia Dongxu blushed, but he couldn't continue.

Time is running out.

Turn around, leave the station, and prepare to go home.

Today's assessment, there is no task in the workshop, and those who are fine are considered to be on vacation.

Yang Xiaotao talked with Wang Fa for a while, then they also left, ready to go home.

At this time, the weather has turned warm, and after the beginning of spring, he will also prepare to reclaim the yard.

While you have time, prepare in advance.

On the other side, Silly Zhu came out of the kitchen with a smile on his face. He finally passed this assessment.

Level [-] cook!
Thinking about going home to make something delicious, he saw Jia Dongxu's unlucky face, he stepped forward to say hello, and shared his joy by the way.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu didn't want to say much at all.

Sha Zhu didn't care, and kept nagging next to him, which annoyed Jia Dongxu even more.

One of the two didn't want to listen, and the other was anxious to speak, so they picked up the speed and arrived at the courtyard soon.

In the front yard, Jia Zhang held Qin Huairu's little hand, Qin Huairu looked shy.

"My Jia family, today is really double happiness."

Jia Zhang spoke loudly, for fear that others would not know.

At this time, someone asked which pair of happiness, Jia Zhang said proudly, "My son Dongxu passed the second-level fitter exam today, and life at home will be better. This is a happy event!"

"My family, Huairu, passed on the family line of our old Jia family. This is the second joy."

"Isn't it double happiness?"
