The morning sun shone through the mottled leaves onto the courtyard path, and Qin Huairu was in a hurry to go to work as usual. However, just as she was about to step out of the door, a voice came from behind: "Qin Huairu, come here, your uncle is calling you!"

It turned out to be an old lady standing at her door waving at her.

The aunt didn't know what was wrong. When she woke up in the morning, Yi Zhonghai didn't get up. The aunt looked at him and said, "It's almost time to go to work, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Yi Zhonghai himself was not upset, but he knew that according to the usual principles, the steel mill would definitely announce the list of qualified candidates today, and Yi Zhonghai would be angry then.

So Yi Zhonghai looked at the aunt and shook his head: "Okay, my head hurts a bit, go find Qin Huairu and come over, I have something to say to her."

Although the aunt was unwilling, she didn't say anything in the end and went to look for someone. After all, the family still depended on Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai was not around, what would they eat?

The aunt also knew that it was her fault that she did not give birth to a boy or girl for Yi Zhonghai, so she did not say anything else.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know what the uncle wanted to talk to her about. But thinking about how the uncle usually took care of her family and how many things at home needed his help, she stopped and turned to walk towards the aunt, saying, "Okay, aunt, I'll be right there."

When she came to the aunt, Qin Huairu asked, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

The aunt just smiled and said nothing, then turned and walked out of the house. Qin Huairu saw this, although she was full of suspicion, she still walked into the house to find out what was going on.

Yi Zhonghai was lying on the kang, looking a little pale. Qin Huairu hurriedly walked up to him and asked with concern: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head gently, sighed and said, "Alas, I am old and useless. I have caught a cold. Huairu, please help me ask for leave from the factory."

Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai must be pretending to be sick at this time, but she didn't say anything. After all, Yi Zhonghai was really hit hard by Gu Nan.

Qin Huairu quickly nodded and agreed. After comforting him with a few words, she turned around and left to go to the factory to ask for leave for Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai felt something else. He was not lying at home simply because of a cold, but because he was very angry after the conflict with Gu Nan yesterday. He thought that if he saw Gu Nan again today, he would be so angry that he would die. So he simply used the excuse of being sick to rest at home for a day, out of sight, out of mind.

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she went to work. After all, she was now a first-level fitter and her salary had also increased.

Although Yi Zhonghai was angry, Qin Huairu herself was also very angry when she heard that Gu Nan was promoted. However, after knowing that she had become a first-level fitter and her salary had increased, she was naturally very happy.

At the same time, Gu Nan had already arrived at the steel mill. As soon as he entered the workshop, Ma Jiefang came up to him and seemed to have something to say. But before he could open his mouth, the loud speaker of the steel mill suddenly sounded: "Dear workers, please pay attention. The test results of the steel mill employees will be announced below..."

Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and listened. Undoubtedly, as the youngest eighth-level worker in the history of the steel mill, Gu Nan's name was the first to be loudly called out by the announcer.

Before Ma Jiefang opened his mouth to speak, the workers gathered around him, all looking at Gu Nan, and shouting, "Hey! Gu Nan, I heard that you have been promoted to an eighth-level fitter. We have to celebrate! How about you treat everyone to a meal?"

Ma Jiefang listened to the noise of the crowd, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, waved his hand and said: "Alright, alright! Everyone, stop making trouble, didn't Gu Nan treat the guests last time? What, haven't you eaten enough? Besides, Gu Nan is a family man now, he has to live, he can't treat everyone to food and drinks every day!"

When the workers heard this, they burst into laughter. One of the older workers said to Ma Jiefang with a smile: "Hey, Master Ma, you look at yourself as a master. Now you are not as good as your own apprentice. Don't you feel a little bad?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Jiefang, far from being angry, laughed heartily: "Hahahaha! You guys, what do you know? This is called 'the pupil surpasses the master', don't you know? Seeing my apprentice is so promising, I am so happy that I don't have time to feel sad!"

Gu Nan, who was standing aside, felt warm in his heart when he heard his master defending him like this, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He nodded readily and said, "Okay! Since everyone is so supportive, I will definitely treat you! It just so happens that I will be holding a wedding soon, so you must come and honor me when the time comes!"

Ma Jiefang knew very well that Gu Nan was a man with his own ideas and opinions. Seeing that he had already agreed, he said no more, but just smiled and nodded at him to show his approval.

Seeing this, the workers around cast envious glances at Gu Nan one after another. Some couldn't help but exclaimed, "Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Nan, you really have a double blessing! Not only have you achieved success in your career, but you have also solved your lifelong affairs!"

However, at this moment, Ma Jiefang shook his head gently and said slowly: "Hey, what you said is not quite accurate. As far as I know, this is a triple happiness. Gu Nan is going to be a father."

The workers at the steel rolling mill were not like the neighbors in the courtyard. They sincerely wished Gu Nan well, and Gu Nan was really happy.

Gu Nan also decided to do the same as last time, in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. This time he didn't need to do it himself, after all, he had an apprentice.

Qin Huairu was originally very happy to hear that she had become a first-level fitter, but when she heard what Gu Nan said, she suddenly became unhappy. After all, why should all the good things come to Gu Nan?

Qin Huairu planned to publicize this matter in Siheyuan, and then see if Gu Nan would invite everyone in Siheyuan to dinner.

The day passed quickly. In the evening, Ran Qiuye insisted on checking the wound on Gu Nan's body, but she didn't expect that the wound had already healed.
