Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At night, at Yi Zhonghai’s house.

After dinner, the aunt couldn't help it and asked.

"Zhong Hai, everyone else is taking the test today, why didn't you take it?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said.

"I thought you didn't want to ask anymore. Our original worker level is relatively high. We don't need to start from level 1. We can start directly from level 6."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, he felt a little proud.

This is just like a martial arts drama, where the first ones to appear are all minions, and the last ones to appear are the famous heroes. Yi Zhonghai belongs to the latter.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the aunt felt relieved. However, she suddenly remembered another question and asked hurriedly.

"What if I fail the Level 6 test?"

"If you fail the 6th-level worker exam, you can still take a downgrade exam, but this is unlikely because we were genuine senior workers at the beginning. Now we have to start the assessment from the 6th-level worker, which is a downgrade to a higher level."

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the aunt was completely relieved and did not disturb Yi Zhonghai anymore, because Yi Zhonghai was also reading a book. She only said one more word in the end.

"Go to bed early at night, don't stay up too late."

Only Yi Zhonghai was left, sitting there flipping through a book on benchwork.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was also reading books at home. Although Liu Haizhong's cultural level was not high, he still had some talent in the blacksmithing industry.

The relationship between talent and educational level is not absolute, otherwise Liu Haizhong would not have been able to pass the examination to become a senior blacksmith.

Tonight, there are many people like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who are preparing for the assessment and striving to get good results. After all, the example of Jia Dongxu is there!

It was late at night, and there were still a few lights on in the courtyard. Slowly, the lights went out, and slowly, more lights went out until dawn.

Early the next morning, several workers working in the steel mill in the compound went to work with panda eyes, looking like they had indulged in excessive sexual activities, and became a beautiful landscape in the steel mill.

A workshop in the steel rolling mill was about to be assessed. Director Wang was looking at the form in his hand with a frown on his face. The situation was not optimistic.

In the entire workshop, there are only twelve people left who have not completed the assessment. This also means that there can only be twelve workers above level 5 in the entire workshop at most, and all of them have to pass the exam.

While Director Wang was still worried, someone came to inform him to start organizing personnel and preparing for the Level 5 worker assessment.

Director Wang did not have time to think about it and quickly counted the number of people. There were a total of ten people taking the Level 5 worker assessment, and the remaining two were people who started the assessment from Level 6.

Because there were not many people taking the assessment, most of the members of the assessment team had already gone to Workshop 2.

After all the workers arrived, the examination officially began.

An hour later, the assessment was over, and what Director Wang was worried about finally happened. Ten people took the assessment, but only four advanced, and six were eliminated. This shows that the higher the level, the harder it is to pass the test.

After a short rest, the remaining six people continued the assessment. This time Yi Zhonghai also took the test. Yi Zhonghai did not brag. For Yi Zhonghai, becoming a level 6 worker was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

The assessment results for level 6 workers are out, with three people promoted and three eliminated. Director Wang is quite satisfied with this result. He only hopes to have a few more senior workers to make up for the shortage of mid-level workers.

During lunch, Director Wang gave special lessons to the remaining three people taking the assessment. After lunch, he also arranged a special place for them to rest so that they could recuperate and get good grades.

In the afternoon, after a period of intense and busy work, two people were promoted to level 7 workers and one was eliminated. Among the two who advanced, one was Yi Zhonghai and the other was Ma Zhanming, who was also a senior worker.

Next is the last assessment of the day. This assessment has attracted a lot of attention. Even Secretary Zhou and Deputy Director Yang came to the assessment site, hoping to see the first level 8 worker produced in the steel rolling mill.

The assessment officially began. Yi Zhonghai did not dare to take it lightly and began to concentrate on the assessment.

Both of them passed the theoretical exam, and the next step is the practical assessment. If they pass, they will become the first level 8 worker in the steel rolling mill.

When the examiner handed out the parts drawings, Yi Zhonghai kept looking at them until he understood all the details before he started working.

As time passed, the assessment of Yi Zhonghai and the other person was coming to an end, but the people at the scene were still waiting anxiously.

"Okay, the test time is up, please stop the operation."

Following the examiner's call to stop, Yi Zhonghai and the other man stopped the operation, handed in the parts, and waited for the examiner's final announcement.

Several examiners took the parts and took turns measuring them. After a while, two of them shook their heads slightly, and one of them said.

"The difference is 2 points. Unfortunately, I failed."

"Why……!"

The result of the assessment caused sighs from everyone present.

Since then, Yi Zhonghai and Ma Zhanming stopped at level 7 workers with a monthly salary of 86 yuan.

The leaders on site were helpless! It was just a little short, otherwise the steel mill would have to have two more level 8 workers, but they could accept it in their hearts, after all, their skills were there? If they worked hard for a few more years, they might be able to pass the exam.

Several leaders stepped forward to comfort and encourage the students, then left the assessment site. The remaining onlookers, seeing that the leaders had left, also dispersed one after another.

Seeing that everyone had left, Yi Zhonghai quietly packed up his tools and left the assessment site.

Yi Zhonghai was a little disappointed with today's assessment result, but he could still accept it. He also knew that a small mistake can lead to a huge difference. He could only study hard and strive to pass the 8th-level worker exam as soon as possible.

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai had not returned yet, but the assessment results had already come in, and several aunts gathered together again to discuss the results.

"Hey, have you heard? An old man passed the exam to become a 7th-level worker. I'm really envious of that old woman."

"That's right. I heard the salary is very high. These two have no children, how are they going to spend it?"

"No matter how high his salary is, it's his business. Why do you care how he spends it? Otherwise, you can ask your baby to recognize him as your godfather."

"Hahaha……."

This aunt's speech caused other aunts to laugh.

Several middle-aged women were chatting animatedly, but they didn't know that behind the wall not far away, another middle-aged woman could hear everything they said clearly.

The more they talked, the more outrageous they became. How could an aunt tolerate this? She walked out and scolded them loudly.

"You are a bunch of villains who gossip behind people's backs. What are you talking about? Speak louder so that I can hear it too."

The group of middle-aged women were dumbfounded. They were saying bad things about others behind their backs and were caught red-handed. What else can they say?

"My clothes haven't been collected yet. You guys chat. I'm leaving first."

One of the middle-aged ladies thought quickly, found an excuse, and ran away.

"Hey! I have to go back to cook. The head of the household is almost off work."

Everyone followed suit and soon everyone left.

Seeing that everyone had left, the aunt felt a little better, but the words of those people just now were still lingering in her mind.

Yes! There are no children at home.

How to do?
