In short, Yi Zhonghai didn’t know that the factory leaders had so much confidence in him.

When Yi Zhonghai was answering the questions seriously, no one made a sound. After all, this was an important moment for him.

Two hours later, Yi Zhonghai finished writing and handed in the paper. The leader sitting in the center stood up and shook hands with Yi Zhonghai: "Comrade, the test paper will be corrected this afternoon, and you will get the answer tomorrow morning. I look forward to your good news."

Yi Zhonghai also shook the leader's hand: "Thank you, leader."

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Deputy Director Li took these leaders and Yi Zhonghai to the cafeteria for dinner.

Sha Zhu had already received the news in the kitchen and prepared all the dishes in advance. Most of the dishes prepared were cold dishes and stir-fried dishes, with only one or two soup dishes.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the canteen of the steel mill was very lively. A group of leaders sat around a large round table, chatting and laughing with each other, talking about trivial matters or discussing national policies.

On the other side, the experts were concentrating on discussing various professional knowledge, including Yi Zhonghai. After a long period of communication and learning with his daughter, he also had a certain understanding of these topics, and occasionally he could interject a word or two, which attracted the attention of the leaders and experts present. Everyone appreciated the knowledge and insights of Master Yi, and Yi Zhonghai was also very proud, and sighed in his heart that his learning was not in vain.

Soon, the dishes were served in the private room one after another. Including the leaders of the steel rolling mill and the leaders who came for assessment, there were about 15 people, so more dishes were prepared today, and Sha Zhu also followed suit to serve the dishes.

When Sha Zhu was serving the dishes, he was dumbfounded when he saw his uncle chatting and laughing in front of a group of leaders and experts. Sha Zhu made faces at the uncle.

Yi Zhonghai made an excuse and said he was going to the toilet and followed him out.

Sha Zhu pulled Yi Zhonghai to the back of the kitchen. He had too many questions in his mind, so he just asked directly: "Uncle, what's going on with you? Are you going to be the workshop director?"

"Okay, I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone. This is still uncertain! Zhuzi, do you hear me?"

"Well, uncle, you know who I am, Shazhu."

"Today I applied for the steel mill fitter engineer assessment, and I am taking the assessment today, so these expert leaders were all invited by the factory."

"Great! Uncle, I heard that it is very difficult to pass the test to become a machinist engineer, and the mechanical operations are very complicated. I didn't expect that you are really a person who keeps learning until you die. I really admire you." After saying that, he gave Yi Zhonghai a thumbs up.

"Silly Zhu, my result has not come out yet, so don't tell anyone. If you do, I'll be embarrassed if it doesn't pass. Wait until the result comes out tomorrow, and then I'll ask your aunt to prepare some meat dishes, and you can cook a good meal, and we'll celebrate together as a family."

"Don't worry, uncle. I will definitely cover my mouth to prevent it from talking nonsense. Then I would like to congratulate you in advance on getting what you wished for." Sha Zhu made a fist-holding gesture and said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't hold back his laughter and patted Sha Zhu's funny fist-holding posture, then turned around and went back.

After having lunch with the leaders, Yi Zhonghai went to his afternoon class.

When Yi Zhonghai got home from get off work in the evening, he sat on a stool and said to his wife confidently, "Mother, go buy more vegetables early tomorrow, buy some chicken, pork, and bring back some fish."

"Dad, you are so confident! Okay, I will definitely bring more money and tickets tomorrow morning." Seeing that her husband came back so confidently, the aunt felt relieved.

Yi Jiale threw himself into his father's arms with a smile, and raised his little head: "Dad, it seems that you are sure to pass this test."

Yi Zhonghai quickly hugged his daughter into his arms, held her on his lap, rubbed her face with his hands, and said with a smile: "Yes! Tuanzi, you are a great contributor to our family. If you hadn't been tutoring Dad, Dad wouldn't even understand some of the content. When you successfully skip a grade tomorrow, tell me a wish and Dad will make it happen."

Yi Jiale's eyes sparkled when he heard this and he couldn't wait to say, "Let's go see Teacher Guan and his wife this weekend! I haven't seen them for more than a month."

Yi Zhonghai felt a sense of swell in his heart and gently stroked his daughter's hair. How could he have such a pure and kind child? Without thinking twice, Yi Zhonghai immediately agreed: "Go see your teacher Guan and his wife. They should do it. Tuanzi, if you want anything else, tell Dad."

Yi Jiale shook her head slightly, with a shy smile on her face, and said softly: "Actually, there is nothing special, I just want to go see Teacher Guan and his wife." Her voice revealed a hint of embarrassment, because every time she went to visit her master, her family would bring some gifts and food. However, if she didn't visit, she was worried that the two old people could only live on corn porridge every day, and their health would get worse and worse.

Teacher Guan and his wife lived a very hard life. They were reluctant to even drink a little corn paste to fill their stomachs. The old couple not only had to help their children who were sent to the countryside, but also had to help their friends who were locked up in farms or cowsheds. Therefore, their own lives were extremely difficult. Despite this, they still adhered to kindness and justice and did their best to help others. This spirit of selfless dedication is very touching, but it also makes people feel sorry for their hard work.

Yi Jiale always gives more financial support to the Guan family within his means, which he does to help those who have contributed to the country.

"Okay, since this is what you want, then Dad will prepare more food."

Yi Jiale smiled with sparkling eyes and said, "Dad, I still have some money, and I can also support Teacher Guan."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, it must be his own daughter! She is always so kind-hearted, and obviously likes money so much, but she is not stingy when helping others. As far as he knows, his daughter always prepares ten or five yuan every time she visits her teacher, never empty-handed, and she also says that it is mainly to help those who have helped the country before. Giving a little more is not a problem, anyway, she has her father to support her.

Yi Zhonghai pinched his daughter's nose and said, "Okay, when the time comes, just give your money to Teacher Guan."

Yi Jiale nodded heavily.

Whenever Yi Jiale thought of those who had shed blood and tears for the country in the past and now saw this situation, he felt uncomfortable. He always wanted to do more. It would be good if he could help one or two more people. Things would get better in the future. As long as he persisted for a few more years and lived well, light would always dispel darkness.
