Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At dinner time, Lin Jiguo kept his head down and ate without saying a word. Lin Wencui looked at him and wondered, isn't her nephew the one who usually talks the most? What happened today?

"Jungguk, did you just bully your cousin? Why does your cousin look unhappy?"

Lin Wencui asked.

"Mom, how could I possibly bully my cousin? Didn't he get a promotion and a raise today? We talked about getting married, and I guess my cousin is thinking about getting married right now."

"Hahaha……."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, the kids burst into laughter.

Lin Jiguo became anxious when he heard this, "Sun Zhengguo, you you you..."

I talked for a long time but couldn't say it.

When Lin Wencui saw what had happened, she knew what had happened. She glanced at her son and turned to Lin Jiguo and said.

"Ji Guo, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. There is nothing shameful about it. Your grandfather and your parents handed you over to your aunt, so your aunt is responsible for you.

Don't worry, when this busy period is over, your aunt and uncle will help you find some connections to see if you can get a house, and then we will find you a wife."

When Lin Jiguo heard this, he was surprised that his wife was involved again. However, he did not dare to refute his aunt's words and could only nod helplessly.

Seeing her nephew nod in agreement, Lin Wencui stopped talking.

After dinner, Sun Zhengguo took a few people back to their room to play. After Lin Wencui finished washing the dishes, she saw her husband still drinking tea, so she asked.

"Hey! Dajiang, we were talking about housing allocation just now. I am an official now, can I get a room?"

"Don't even think about it. The houses are now allocated according to family. We already got a great deal when we allocated the houses in the first place. Don't even think about this good thing."

Sun Dajiang's words interrupted Lin Wencui's unrealistic thoughts.

But Lin Wencui didn't give up and continued asking.

"What if there is not enough space for my son to live in when he grows up and gets married?"

"When your son goes to college and joins the company, it will be easy to get a house. He is different from us, so you don't have to worry about it. Look at other people who have several families squeezed into one room. What should they do?"

Yes! There are several such cases in this compound. Lin Wencui no longer hesitated. The two chatted for a while about the daytime assessment and then went back to sleep.

In Sun Zhengguo's room, the three brothers were still lying on the bed chatting.

"Zhengguo, what's so good about getting a wife? Why do so many people want me to get a wife?"

After hearing what Lin Jiguo said, Sun Zhengguo's face was full of black lines, and he thought to himself.

"Is this guy stupid? What's so good about getting married? How can I answer you? You can't ask me to applaud, right?"

Sun Zhengguo didn't know how to answer, so Sun Zhengan, who was lying on the bed next to him, said.

"Cousin, you are so stupid. Isn't it good to have a woman? Have you ever tried to be with someone you like, and felt that heartbeat? Have you ever held a woman's hand? Have you ever kissed a woman's face? You don't know anything. Tell me, are you stupid?"

Sun Zheng'an asked three questions in a row, which shocked Sun Zhengguo. His brother is a talent! He is a person with a great story! Then he asked.

"Sun Zhengan, from what you said, you have tried it? Come on, tell me about it so I can learn from you."

"No, no, I haven't tried it. I'm just using an analogy. Do you understand?"

Afterwards, the room fell into silence. Lin Jiguo was still thinking about Sun Zhengan's words, and Sun Zhengguo didn't want to ask anymore, because even if he asked, his brother wouldn't tell him.

Slowly, snoring sounds were heard in the room...

……

The next morning, at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

At the electrician assessment site, Sun Dajiang was connecting the circuit board in an orderly manner. His movements were skillful and there was no sense of incongruity, which was pleasing to the eye.

Liang Dafa standing next to him was different. He would look at the drawing before connecting a wire. If he found any mistakes, he would dismantle them and reconnect them. He looked very flustered. Although the weather was not hot, a layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

After a while, the examiner looked at his watch, nodded to a few people beside him, and then spoke loudly.

"Time is up, please stop the operation."

As the examiner gave the order, Liang Dafa's heart sank instantly because he had not finished his homework.

But Sun Dajiang is different. His manual work has already been completed and he is just waiting for acceptance.

Several examiners quickly began to check, and soon the inspection was completed. He passed the test and advanced to the next round. The next round would be for level 8 workers. If he could pass it again, Sun Dajiang would become the first level 8 worker in the steel rolling mill.

But Liang Dafa didn't even look at his work. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was not finished yet.

The news of Sun Dajiang's promotion soon reached the ears of the leaders. Several leaders came to the scene at the same time to cheer for Sun Dajiang and hope that the first level 8 worker in the steel rolling mill could succeed.

When Sun Dajiang saw that all the leaders had arrived, he came out to say hello and then continued with the final round of assessment.

As usual, the theory test was conducted first. Sun Dajiang finished the test in a very short time, just over ten minutes. After the paper was graded on the spot, he passed the test. The next step was the practical test.

The last round of practical questions was difficult, but did not stump Sun Dajiang. After looking at the drawings, Sun Dajiang was sure that he would be an 8th-level worker today.

Putting down the drawings in his hand, Sun Dajiang began to connect switches and assemble circuit boards. The colorful wires kept changing in Sun Dajiang's hands, dazzling the onlookers.

Fifty minutes later, there were still ten minutes left to the scheduled time. Just when everyone on the scene was extremely anxious, Sun Dajiang had already connected the last main line. After checking that everything was correct, he raised his hand to indicate that the job was completed.

The members of the assessment team immediately began the acceptance inspection, and everyone on the scene fell into anxious waiting, and time passed by minute by minute.

Except for a few examiners who were constantly whispering to each other, everyone else was silent, waiting for the final result.

Finally, the members of the assessment team finished the inspection and handed the report with the results to the examiner. After reading the report, the examiner looked at Sun Dajiang again and said.

"After examination, the results were satisfactory and Comrade Sun Dajiang was promoted to Grade 8 worker."

"Bah bang bang...!"

“Ooooh…!”

There was thunderous applause and the workers on site cheered.

Secretary Zhou walked up to Sun Dajiang happily, held Sun Dajiang's hands tightly with his big hands, shook them vigorously, and said at the same time.

"Congratulations, Comrade Sun Dajiang. This assessment was successful and achieved a breakthrough for our factory. On behalf of all the employees in the factory, I would like to thank you!"

"Secretary Zhou, your words are too kind. Dajiang really doesn't deserve them. This is all due to the leadership of the leaders. I just fulfilled my responsibilities."

The two men exchanged some pleasantries, and Secretary Zhou spoke a few more words, encouraging them before leaving.

When everyone saw that the leaders had left, they dispersed, leaving only the workers from the electrical department, who continued to congratulate.

Looking at the brand new Level 8 electrician certificate in his hand, Sun Dajiang couldn't calm down for a long time.

I, Sun Dajiang, succeeded!
