Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After Zhou Tian said this, Liu Wuming, who had been planning to tease his apprentice, suddenly didn't know how to start, and could only slap him on the shoulder.

"You are still good at talking!"

The canteen's food serving speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, before the two of them could react, they had already reached the canteen window.

"Hey, it's Master Zhou and Master Liu! What are you planning to eat today?"

The aunt at the window saw Master Zhou Tian and his apprentice and asked with a smile on her face.

"Give me two steamed buns, a portion of stir-fried cabbage and meat, and a portion of radish soup!"

Liu Wuming pointed to the steamed bread and two dishes.

"okay!"

The aunt said something, picked up the spoon and scooped a full lunch box for Liu Wuming, handed it to Liu Wuming and then looked at Zhou Tian behind him and asked.

"Master Zhou, how about you?"

Facing Zhou Tian, ​​the aunts were very enthusiastic and asked. Although they were not well educated, they all knew that in the factory, skill level was the means to measure a person's future.

Zhou Tian has become a master chef in the factory at such a young age. He must have a bright future in the factory, so they naturally show their closeness to Zhou Tian.

"Auntie, you're too polite. Just give me two steamed buns with 200g of flour, a portion of meat and a portion of soup, just like my master!"

Zhou Tian smiled and said modestly that he knew that in this society, the more humble you are, the better your reputation will be among people. On the contrary, the more high-profile you are, the worse your reputation will be.

Everyone has a hatred of the rich. Similarly, everyone knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Don't underestimate the survival wisdom of any ordinary person.

Since he has chosen to be high-profile in the courtyard, he will naturally choose to be low-profile in the factory. He is high-profile because he doesn't want to pretend to be poor for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters. On the other hand, he also knows that as the national policies stabilize in the future, public-private partnerships will be implemented.

His salary is becoming more and more conspicuous in people's eyes, and even if he wants to keep a low profile, he can't do it.

But it’s different in the factory. Everyone in the factory is a worker. After the public-private partnership, everyone is the worker’s big brother. The status of the big brother is not just talk. It’s true. If you dare to report it, then you can expect to step down!

He needs to maintain his image among his coworkers. Even if things get bad later, maybe he can make a comeback by relying on the popularity and reputation he has accumulated in his daily life.

"Okay, Master Zhou!"

The old lady smiled and dug into the meat and vegetables with the spoon in her hand. Then she took out two steamed buns with 200g of flour and poured him a bowl of carrot soup. She handed him the lunch box and said, "Master Zhou, it's ready!"

"Thanks, Auntie!"

Zhou Tian took out the money and handed it to the other party, then he and the master turned around and sat down at an empty table.

The two of them put their dishes together, and Liu Wuming smiled and said, "It seems that you are popular among women. Now even the aunties in the cafeteria are serving food. I, your master, am also benefiting from you!"

"Master, I don't know how to respond to your words!"

Zhou Tian looked at Liu Wuming with a smile on his face and suddenly didn't know what to respond. Although nearly three years had passed, he had completely integrated into this era.

But influenced by his memories of his previous life, he gradually spoke more, but compared to the people of Sijiu City, he was still the taciturn Zhou Tian.

To put it bluntly, he still couldn't get used to the habits and rhythm of life in this old city.

In addition, he knew a lot about this era from his memories of his previous life. As for the specific situation, even though he had lived in Sijiu City for nearly seventeen years in this life, he was still so unfamiliar with Sijiu City.

After all, his living area is so small.

When he was young, due to the chaotic situation in Beijing, his family did not allow him to run around, so his activities were limited to the courtyard.

When I grew up a little, the Japanese occupied Beijing again, forcibly occupied the steel mill, and conscripted young men to work in the factory. My father also entered the steel mill at that time. The food distributed was just enough to keep people from starving to death. It can be said that at that time, life at home was almost a problem, and he had no time to visit Beijing.

Later, the Japanese surrendered, but my father's health was exhausted by years of hard work, and he finally died a year before liberation.

It was because of this blow that he awakened his memories of his past life. A year later, he took over his father's job and became an apprentice fitter in a steel rolling mill.

Because he knew that with the liberation of the former Soviet Union, factory workers would have the most stable jobs.

Liu Wuming couldn't help but be amused by his confused apprentice. He didn't expect that even though he had been promoted to a master chef, his apprentice was still so easy to tease.

"You kid! I won't talk about other masters, you know them all, but you still need to practice your mouth, hahahaha"

Liu Wuming looked at his apprentice and continued to laugh teasingly for a few times. Then he put away the smile on his face and looked at Zhou Tian and said, "And boy, you need to improve your cultural level!"

Seeing Zhou Tian wanted to speak, he waved his hand to stop him and said, "Your master and I know what you want to say. Isn't it just that you need to take care of your younger brothers and sisters? Although you can't go to school normally, the government is promoting literacy classes and night schools. You can't go to normal schools, but you can still go to night schools."

"And the master also understands that since the government is going to run a night school, it means that in the future, the requirements for cultural knowledge will become higher and higher. If you can get a diploma in night school, then your future will be much easier, and you may even be promoted to engineer!"

"night school?"

Zhou Tian was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the country already had night schools. He thought night schools would only appear in 53. After all, according to his memory in his previous life, it was not until 1953 that employees began to attend night schools.

"Master, I understand! I will go!"

Zhou Tian would not refuse to attend night school, and he also knew that his master was doing it for his own good. Although he had awakened his memories of his past life, it could be said that with his current level of education, it was enough for him to be a teacher in night school.

But after all, no one knows his true level. The most important thing is that since he plans to contribute to the country in the future, he naturally has to attend night school.

Thinking about this, the two finished their lunch and returned to the workshop with their own thoughts.

Zhou Tian was still processing the gun barrel, but in his heart he was thinking about what his master had just said. He still agreed with his master's words. He did not expect that his master had such far-sighted vision. Sure enough, no one who could survive in the old society was a simple person.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Zhou Tian and his master left the steel mill. He said goodbye to his master and went to the night school that his master had mentioned.

When he arrived at the night school, Zhou Tian was stunned when he saw the sign above which read "Renmin University of China".

"Boy, what are you doing?"

Just then, two security guards at the night school gate and a young man in military uniform and carrying a gun stepped forward.

"Comrade, I want to ask, is this a night school?"

Zhou Tian swallowed his saliva and asked

"Are you here to study?"

The young man in military uniform looked Zhou Tiandao up and down.

"I don't know either. I want to ask, are workers allowed to come here to study?"

Zhou Tian asked in confusion, he never expected that this would be the predecessor of Renmin University and the cradle of officialdom in later generations. To be honest, he had heard many bragging statements from his friends in his previous life.

He thought the other party was bragging when he heard that the first night school in the country was built to enhance the cultural level of cadres, but now it seems that they are right.

"What happened?"
