Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

"Your master has a lot of connections in the factory, so why not let him..."

Jia Dongxu's expression flashed unnaturally as he listened to his mother's words.

"Mom, aren't you letting my master make a mistake? Xu Damao also did this kind of thing last time, and it's not like you haven't seen the embarrassing look afterwards."

Jia Dongxu still had a conscience, so he directly talked about the people from the security department of the steel rolling mill who moved out last time.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang's face turned bitter, but she said: "Dongxu, that's not what you said. That young boy Xu Damao is so arrogant in his work. It's normal for him to be caught. What is your master?" Don’t you know his temper? Besides, his abilities are definitely much better than Xu Damao’s, so there’s definitely something to be done with him.”

What Jia Zhang meant was to ask Jia Dongxu to go over and talk to Yi Zhonghai. In her opinion, nothing is achieved without success, and nothing will be lost anyway. But if Yi Zhonghai agrees, it will be a happy event in vain. In this summer, as the name of the Red Star electric fan becomes more and more famous, who will Don’t want to blow on an electric fan?

Listening to his mother's words, which also mocked Xu Damao's usual arrogance as a projectionist in the courtyard, Jia Dongxu's face became increasingly helpless. Isn't this matter obviously causing trouble for the master, but Jia Zhang's tough attitude makes it difficult for Jia Dongxu to refuse openly. Especially at this time, Banggan and Xiaodang also listened to grandma's words and came to pester Jia Dongxu.

"Dad, grandma said that if you can help me, please go and ask him."

"Yes, Dad, Xiaodang has never used an electric fan in his life. I want to use one too."

The words of the two children made Jia Dongxu's heart soften, and he immediately gritted his teeth as he looked at the large family.

"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with the master, but whether this matter can be done or not is another matter." Having made up his mind, Jia Dongxu walked out of the room.

Looking at this scene, Jia Zhang showed a satisfied expression.

……

In the middle courtyard, the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai and Yi Ma had just had dinner. Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a chair, and the aunt beside him was clearing away the dishes on the table.

"Did you just come back with fifty kilograms of fine grain yesterday?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly said.

The eldest mother nodded: "Yes, I also bought two kilograms of pork belly and stored them in the cellar."

The conditions of their family in the yard are definitely not bad, but due to various reasons, they do not eat particularly well.

"Go and clean up the house for the old lady in the evening, and bring twenty kilograms of white flour with you." Yi Zhonghai continued.

Now, it is certain that their family has no heirs, and the couple no longer have any other fantasies. In addition to cultivating Jia Dongxu as a pensioner, they also take care of the deaf old lady wholeheartedly, treating her like a biological mother.

First, as the oldest elder in the courtyard, a good relationship with the deaf old lady would also help Yi Zhonghai's status in the courtyard.

Secondly, this can be regarded as setting an example. He treats a deaf old lady with such care even if she is not his biological mother. With his words and deeds, Jia Dongxu will naturally treat his master with all his heart.

"Hey, let me clean up the house for the old lady now, so as not to delay her sleep if it's too late."

The aunt was of the same mind as her husband, and she would not say anything about this kind of investment. Considering that being too late would affect the old man's rest, the aunt put down her work first, went to the cabinet, and weighed two Pack up ten pounds of white flour.

As soon as she went out, Auntie bumped into Jia Dongxu who came to see Yi Zhonghai.

"Master's wife, is my master at home?"

Seeing Auntie, Jia Dongxu greeted her. "Here you are, come in Dongxu."

"Dongxu, please go in and sit down first. Mistress has something to do at the moment and will come to greet you later." The eldest mother also nodded towards Jia Dongxu.

"Hey, Master, please go and do your work."

Jia Dongxu greeted politely, and then walked into the room hesitantly.

"Dongxu, what's wrong? What's the matter? Is it because you're not sure about the assessment?"

Jia Dongxu is about to take the assessment for upgrading from level 2 to level 3 fitter. Yi Zhonghai thought Dongxu was worried about the assessment.

'Master, you are like this...'

Jia Dongxu bit the bullet and explained his purpose.

"Master, I just want to see if there is any way you can help me get this Red Star electric fan. My mother and two children are clamoring for this, and I can't help it..."

Jia Dongxu didn't have the same attitude as Jia Zhang to talk to his master.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed slightly.

With his mind, he could naturally understand that this matter was not Dongxu's original intention. It was indeed Jia Zhang who could do such a thing.

Of course he knows about the Red Star electric fan. Now there are even two workshops in the steel rolling mill dedicated to the production of the Red Star electric fan. The state-owned market was abuzz, and their steel rolling mill was in the limelight, and a lot of orders were placed within the organization.

Moreover, the price of the Red Star electric fan is indeed affordable. Let alone a sixth-level fitter. Under normal circumstances, with the salary of a third-level fitter, a family can afford this thing. But he also knew the situation at home as his apprentice. This cannot be viewed by ordinary working-class families.

Perhaps, you can still scrape together the money to buy an electric fan, but for daily use, it can be regarded as a waste. For the Jia family, buying this electric fan is definitely not suitable.

It’s not that they can’t enjoy it, it’s just that they don’t have the capital.

However, Yi Zhonghai had different ideas in his mind.

"Well, Dongxu, the electric fan in our factory is indeed a good thing. It's summer now, so it's normal for the children to want to blow it."

Listening to the master's words, Jia Dongxu felt even more uncomfortable: "Master, if it weren't for my helplessness, I wouldn't have come to you..."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "You are my apprentice, and I am your master. In the past, this relationship was closer than that of father and son. Your child has had a hard life. He has lost his father since he was a child. To be honest, I am both. I treat you like my son, so don’t say such polite words to me.”

Yi Zhonghai said on the surface, but in his heart he remained calm. This can be considered a classic brainwashing technique of his. He is not afraid that Jia Dongxu will trouble him. After all, if he owes too many favors, he will not be able to repay them. In addition, Dongxu's emotional temperament will make his own pension more and more foolproof in the future.

"Master." As expected, Jia Dongxu was deeply moved after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words.

Ever since I became a master of Yi Zhonghai, this master has been devoted to me and even my family. As the master said, it is better to be a father than a son, rather than a father and a son!

"Where's this electric fan? It's time to buy it. Go back and wait for news. The master will help you with this." Yi Zhonghai settled his words. He will definitely help with this favor. Of course, it will not be in vain. When he provides for himself in the future, that will be the time to recover the interest.

"By the way, you must practice your skills well during this period. When you pass the assessment, I will try to transfer you to the second workshop. Then the salary will be higher." Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai warned again. (End of chapter)
