Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Most of the people in the courtyard worked in the steel mill. After hearing what He Yuzhu said, they all burst into laughter. Xu Damao covered his stomach and said with a smile, "Apprentice, Master Jia. Oh, this nickname is much better than Zhuzi's nickname. I mean, Jia Dongxu, you are learning locksmithing from Uncle Yi Zhonghai." I remember it has been about five or six years. Even if you are an old sow, you should be a regular employee now.

Liu Gen hated Jia Dongxu for extorting money from him last time. If he hadn't been smart last time, his house would definitely be named after Jia. Liu Gen thought that if he didn't kick someone when he was down, when would he do that? He grinned and said, "Hey, Damao is right. Even if it's a pig, it should have gotten its way by now. Oh, if others didn't know this, they would think that Master Yi was stingy and didn't teach others well."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. There is a man in the yard named Liu Er. Liu Er has a good friend who is also Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. Liu Er's friend has been with Yi Zhonghai for longer than Jia Dongxu, and has been an apprentice under Yi Zhonghai for ten years. Although he is not an apprentice like Jia Dongxu, he is still at the level of a second-level worker after so many years.

Considering that Zhou Tie had already accepted another master as his apprentice some time ago, Liu Er felt that he must talk to his good friend tomorrow. If he wanted to get a high salary, he must have a better grade. This Yi Zhonghai was just following the idea of ​​teaching his apprentice to starve the master to death, which was really a bit too hateful.

Yi Zhonghai listened to the discussions of the people around him, and his old face flushed. Others may not know, but she knows herself very well. If the factory leaders had not made a rigid rule that each senior fitter must have several apprentices, he would not be willing to accept other people. In his mind, there is only Jia Dongxu as his apprentice, but this Jia Dongxu is really a hopeless case.

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said, "People like you who don't respect the elderly will definitely get their comeuppance in the future." Then, under the gaze of everyone in the courtyard, he left with a gloomy face, followed by Jia Dongxu and Yan Fugui. Zhou Tie laughed loudly. During this period, he followed a new master and no longer had to work under Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had lost face tonight, he quickly smiled and said to Ma Xiaoya, "Wife, go buy some wine. Master He, can you have a drink with me tonight? Let's buy some braised meat to try. I'm so happy tonight."

He Yuzhu thought about it and nodded. He felt that he still had to win over a group of people who were not on good terms with Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard. Xu Damao said with a smile, "Brother Zhou Zhuzi, you two can take me with you." Zhou Tie glanced at Xu Damao and said with a smile, "Hey, Damao, I remember you just turned 15 this year, is it okay to drink so early?"

He Yuzhu also nodded in agreement. If I drink too early, I will be in trouble. Xu Lide is in favor of his son drinking a little earlier. After all, his son is old now and will definitely come to live with his family in the future. If a man doesn't drink, is he still a man?

Seeing their father nod, He Yuzhu and Zhou Tie naturally would not refuse. The two also invited Xu Lide, who smiled and waved his hand and said, "You three are all young people, young people have a meal together, and I, an old man, will not join. Damao, don't drink too much, just drink in moderation, understand?"

The three of them naturally agreed. Besides, what Xu Lide said made a lot of sense. There were some leftovers at home today, and with the food he took out from the space, it was enough for the three of them to make snacks. Qin Huairu also dragged Ma Xiaoya into the house. The two women cooked a few snacks in the kitchen, and the three men started drinking in the living room.

Zhou Tie raised his glass and said to He Yuzhu very seriously, "Master He, I won't say much to thank you. If you encounter any problems in the future, as long as I, Zhou Tie, can do it, I will help you rain or shine. If I say no, I will not be a man of the old city. I finally got rid of Yi Zhonghai, that hypocritical man. Alas, it was really not easy."

Xu Damao asked curiously, "Hey, Brother Zhou, I'm curious about this matter too. Some time ago, it was said that you were kicked out of the master's school by Yi Zhonghai, and this matter has spread all over the steel mill." Zhou Tie was very angry when he heard this. It was Yi Zhonghai who was an unkind master. He had finally asked He Yuzhu to help him find another master. He didn't expect that he would ruin his reputation in the steel mill.

Zhou Tie shook his head helplessly, glanced at Xu Damao and said, "Da Mao, do you think that your brother Zhou is the kind of person who betrays his teacher and ancestors?" Xu Damao shook his head. Although he and Zhou Tie did not have a close relationship in the courtyard, he felt that Zhou Tie was not the kind of ungrateful person at all.

Zhou Tie took a sip of wine and sighed, "I have been with Yi Zhonghai for five years. The biggest characteristic of Yi Zhonghai is that he is hypocritical. He says one thing but does something behind the scenes. Do you know how I passed the exam to become a second-level fitter? I secretly asked other masters to teach me. Otherwise, I might be no different from a fake. The highest level of Yi Zhonghai's apprentices is only a second-level fitter. This old guy usually makes us work for him for nothing. The masters of other apprentices have to teach them a thing or two, but Yi Zhonghai is really too insidious."

"Every time I teach a technique, I teach that idiot Jia Dongxu. The rest of us can only watch with envy. Yi Zhonghai, that old bastard, has poor eyesight. I didn't expect him to pick such an apprentice. He's been teaching for almost ten years, and he's still an apprentice. To be honest with you two, I feel so happy every time I think of Jia Dongxu."

He Yuzhu sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. He did not expect that Yi Zhonghai would dare to do this for Jia Dongxu. He asked Zhou Tie, "Brother Zhou, I heard that Yi Zhonghai had played a trick on you. What happened?" Xu Damao also looked at Zhou Tie curiously and said, "Yes, Brother Zhou, tell us about it."
