Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

When he got home from get off work that day, Sun Zhengdong immediately told Sun Zhengguo the good news.

"Brother, today, Brother Ji Guo and I both advanced."

"Good, very good, very good. You've been promoted to an intermediate worker this time, and it will be much easier to get a house in the future." Sun Zhengguo praised with a smile.

"Hehe!" Sun Zhengdong said with a silly smile: "Brother, actually I want to thank you."

"Thank me?"

Seeing Sun Zhengguo's puzzled expression, Sun Zhengdong quickly explained.

"Brother, you don't know that this time there is an acquaintance among the examiners. He should have given Jiguo and me some leniency."

"Oh! Who is it?"

Sun Zhengguo also went over the name in his mind, but he had too many acquaintances in the Ministry of Metallurgy and couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Brother, it's Zhao Guoping who followed you before. He is also one of the examiners today. The questions I picked are all the simplest ones."

"This Zhao Guoping!"

Sun Zhengguo smiled. He had never thought about asking for any reward for his good deed, but he didn't expect that the other person still remembered the favor!

"Okay, I get it, but you still have to study hard in the future. Don't let these external factors stop you from making progress."

Sun Zhengguo was afraid that his cousin would become proud, so he finally gave him a beating.

"Got it, big brother."

Sun Zhengdong is an honest kid. He believes whatever his elder brother says. Once you call him elder brother, he will be his elder brother for life. Anyway, it is never wrong to follow his elder brother.

Wang Aifang was also very happy tonight. When she thought of what Lin Wencui had said to her, her heart was burning with joy.

Who wouldn’t be jealous of the two rooms in the front yard that Yan Bugui used to own?

The only drawback is that given her family's situation, it might not be easy to get two rooms, and the best she could get was the wing room.

"Hey~! Let's see what God has in store for us!"

Wang Aifang shook her head helplessly, feeling secretly regretful in her heart.

The next morning, Sun Zhengguo was still the same as usual, running around to be an examiner.

At this time, a big drama was taking place in the steel rolling mill, which was the 8th-level worker assessment.

Normally, an 8th-level worker assessment is nothing big, but the steel mill takes it seriously!

Since Sun Dajiang left, the steel rolling mill has not produced a level 8 worker, which has become a laughing stock in the industry.

Director Yang learned from his mistakes and in order to save face, he made full preparations for today's assessment, determined to take off the label of "turtle" no matter what.

"Secretary Chen, how are the preparations going? Has Engineer Wang given in?"

Inside the office, Director Yang was still making his final "efforts".

"Don't worry, leader. Engineer Wang has already agreed. But in the end, it still depends on the worker's ability. If the worker is incompetent, there is nothing he can do in front of everyone."

Secretary Chen reported truthfully.

"That's fine. As long as he can show some mercy, I think someone should be able to pass the exam and become a level 8 worker." Director Yang said confidently.

Because the factory has paid a lot for this assessment. If no one passes the exam to become a level 8 worker under such lenient conditions, they deserve to be called bastards.

The assessment officially began at 8: in the morning. In order to show his importance, Director Yang came to the platform in person, hoping to get what he wanted.

The first assessment today started in the fitter workshop. There were only two people taking the assessment from the fitter workshop, one was a master named Ma and the other was Yi Zhonghai.

Half an hour later, both of them had passed the theoretical test, and the next step was the practical test, which depended entirely on skills, of course, a certain element of "luck" was not ruled out.

For example, when the test questions were being drawn right now, Master Ma drew a part of intermediate difficulty, which was considered lucky, but not by much.

However, Yi Zhonghai was "extremely lucky" and directly drew a part with the lowest difficulty. It was really enviable and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a lucky man.

In fact, only Yi Zhonghai himself knows whether he is extremely lucky or not.

Because he and the chief examiner this time, Engineer Wang, had known each other before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so he understood everything.

After drawing the topics, the two began to work on them. Master Ma was quite skilled at this job. Although the task was difficult, he did not find it difficult at all.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai has done a good job. The difficulty has been lowered now. If you still can't do well, you might as well not take the exam.

Director Yang and other leaders who were watching were also very excited at this time.

"Chief Zhang, I think the two masters did a good job. You are an expert. What do you think?"

When asked this by Director Yang, Section Chief Zhang was also confused. How could he tell it apart with the naked eye?

But since the leader asked, of course I can't say that. Section Chief Zhang is not stupid, and he knows exactly what the leader wants to hear.

"Director Yang, the two masters are skilled. I think this assessment will be a good one. We can wait and see."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing his leader laughing heartily, Director Zhao from the fitter workshop would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

"Director Yang, these two masters are the backbone of our workshop. Judging from their performance today, they may all pass." Director Zhao began to take credit.

"Director Zhao, this is also because you led the team well. If they pass the assessment this time, it will be a great credit to you as the director!"

Director Yang also hinted at it, but he didn't say what the specific contribution was, leaving it up to you to figure it out.

"Thank you, Director Yang. This is all thanks to your leadership."

"..."

"..."

Half an hour later, because Yi Zhonghai's parts were of lower difficulty, he had successfully completed them and handed them to the examiner.

The examiner took the part and measured it carefully. The part had a minor flaw, but it was barely passable. It all depended on the examiner's opinion.

Engineer Wang read the evaluation report, pretended to ponder for a while, and then put a check mark on the back. In order to make it more convincing, he spoke to the two examiners next to him.

"Although this part has a small flaw, it is still good enough to be used. It's not easy for the workers. I have passed this test, but I wonder if you two...?"

When the two examiners heard this, although they didn't know what the trick was, they didn't object and one after another ticked the box on the evaluation report.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai successfully advanced and from now on, he also joined the ranks of level 8 workers.

After Yi Zhonghai succeeded, Master Ma also completed the parts. After inspection, they were completely qualified. I don’t know how many times better they were than the previous one.

Since Yi Zhonghai was able to advance, there was no reason for Master Ma to be unhappy. Engineer Wang was not stupid enough to suppress him. After all, the steel mill had also given him a gift.

"Bah bang bang...!"

When the results were announced, there was warm applause.

Director Yang didn't expect that today would not only be a good start, but also a double hit.

With such good results as a foundation, I believe there will be good news in the following assessments.

As the highest leader on site, Director Yang would definitely step forward to give praise and encouragement.

Yi Zhonghai and Master Ma also expressed their gratitude and said that they would work hard in the future to strive for further progress.
