Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 127 Level Worker and Level Worker

Cui Mingliang so "deliberately" put in good words for Xiang Yunduan and worked hard to improve him, but he really had no other purpose.

To put it bluntly, it is very simple. Cui Mingliang values ​​Xiang Yunduan's ability, so he wants to support him.

Of course, whether it was the pair of gold-locked silver bracelets that Xiang Yunduan gave to his children before, or the fact that Xiang Yunduan could help him improve his political performance, these were also reasons, but the most important thing was the cultivation of a young junior.

Some things cannot be explained clearly. Probably in Cui Mingliang's heart, Xiang Yunduan was a young man who was completely discovered by him. He is also very capable. He has become famous several times within half a year of joining the factory. He also knows how to advance and retreat, and is also good at interpersonal communication. Very good at it.

Of course he would promote such a junior.

Collecting money is collecting money, but it does not mean that the person who collects the money only cares about money. The person who collects the money also has a love for talents.

After coming out of Director Wei's office, Cui Mingliang went to contact several other leaders privately. Since there was a meeting to discuss, there must be good communication before the meeting.

On the other side, Xiang Yunduan certainly didn't know that Cui Mingliang was running for him.

It is already a happy event for him to pass the assessment and become a third-level worker. In addition, today sixteen more apprentices have successfully passed the assessment of first-level workers, which can be said to be even more joyous.

"Let me see if Suli has learned the backflip!"

Qiao Mohe didn't know if it was because she had been enjoying herself like a fish in water in the past six months, but she looked more graceful and moisturized than when they first met.

In the darkness, it didn't take long for meowing sounds that were thrilling to the bones. They were long and short, high and low, intermittent and weeping, and I couldn't tell what the emotion was.

Therefore, the apprentices discussed asking him, the master, to go to the restaurant next time.

……

"Meow~"

He has been quite busy during this period, and he has not been to Qiao Mohe very often. When meeting him now, he couldn't help but feel distracted.

"Of course you need it. In addition to the couplets, you also have to write two blessing characters for me. By the way, doesn't Third Aunt know how to cut window grilles? Cut some for me too, and I will put them up at home. It will look festive." Xiang Yun Duan said.

"Is there something wrong, Third Uncle?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Although the workers are still at work, the courtyard has gradually become lively.

Because these apprentices passed the assessment and could officially become first-level workers after the new year, not only did their wages increase, but their status in the factory was also greatly improved, so they were very excited. Even though the price of this meal was not low, no one frowned. .

"Hey, have you been drinking?"

Although he drank a lot of wine, given his physical condition, he could only be considered tipsy at most. At this moment, he was just using the alcohol to have fun.

"Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? As the third uncle in this yard, I also have to serve the neighbors in the yard, so I decided to write this couplet for the people in the yard in the past few days. You must also do it, terminal. Do you need it?" Yan Bugui said.

At this age, she is most willing to box.

In the courtyard, every household has begun to prepare New Year's goods. Although they basically don't visit relatives these days, it is the New Year after all. After working hard for a year, they will more or less prepare something that they usually can't bear to eat. My family is relatively well-off. Maybe even make a new outfit for the child.

Fortunately, Qiao Mohe lived in a small courtyard with a single family. Even if the cat meowed until midnight, it would not affect other people's homes. If it were a large courtyard like the one where Xiang Yunduan lived, I am afraid that it would cause trouble this night. Public outrage.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk? You smell of alcohol!" Qiao Mohe said with a frown.

The place where he went to eat was none other than Fujude Roast Duck Restaurant, which he had not been to for a while.

Suli is the name of the civet cat he gave to Qiao Mohe.

As soon as he entered the yard, Yan Bugui came up to him, his little eyes looking straight at the thing in his hand.

Unexpectedly, things would turn around, and this time it was his own apprentice's turn to treat him.

Xiang Yunduan couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it.

"Drunk? Believe it or not, I'm even worse when I'm drunk? I have a set of Drunken Boxing, which I've never done before. I'll let you see it later, and I'll keep it in mind. After you see it, you'll get drunk too!" Xiang Yunduan reached out and picked it up! On Qiao Mohe's white, tender and soft chin, he said with a smile.

Today was a treat for the disciples, but they refused to let Xiang Yunduan pay. He said it was because of the filial piety of the disciples, so Xiang Yunduan didn't argue, but he paid for the wine.

Including himself, there were seventeen people in total, so he asked for a large private room and set up two tables.

Because the output of wine in this era is not high and the technology is relatively complex, the price is still quite high, much higher than that of liquor, even Maotai cannot compare.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about! There is no formality!"

"Oh, terminal, I said I haven't seen you back for a long time. It turned out that you went shopping in the store. What good things are you carrying in this hand?"

Affected by this atmosphere, Xiang Yunduan also began to prepare.

After entering the room, Qiao Mohe first helped Xiang Yunduan sit on the edge of the bed, then went to fetch a basin of hot water. He first wiped Xiang Yunduan's hands and face, then washed his feet, and then quietly Quietly turn off the lights and go to bed.

Xiang Yunduan leaned on Qiao Mohe and said with a smile.

The footsteps of the New Year are getting closer and closer, and it is already the end of the twelfth lunar month.

Although Qiao Mohe said she was disgusting, she was very honest physically. When she heard that the little man was going to fight her with a "new boxing technique" that she had never fought before, she could no longer suppress her anticipation.

……

After dinner, Xiang Yunduan did not go back to the courtyard, but went to Qiao Mohe's house.

Everyone is happy with the meal.

The last time he came to this place, he invited his younger brother Xiang Yunlong's driver to dinner.

Walking in the alley, you can occasionally hear the sound of children setting off firecrackers.

After get off work today, he went to the department store and bought a new pair of leather shoes. At the same time, he also bought some dried fruits such as peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts to eat during the Chinese New Year.

There is nothing to say about the food. In addition to the roast duck, there are other specialty dishes on the whole duck banquet. The wine we drank was the same red wine we drank last time.

He is not planning to return to his hometown in Mentougou during the Chinese New Year.

During this period, he also took the time to go back, but his family members were quite busy and had to go to work every day. He didn't eat at home, but in the big cafeteria. When he went back, he didn't even see his family a few times, so he simply ate there. Not going back.

However, this situation probably won't last long. After the New Year, the big cafeteria will probably be disbanded soon.

It won't be too late for him to go back a few more times. During this period, he used the space of the Wolf Fang Pendant to stock up on a lot of things.

Forget about celebrating the New Year this year, just call your younger brother Xiang Yunlong over and eat and drink together.

Speaking of Xiang Yunlong, this kid has grown up a lot since he moved to Beiluoguxiang. Perhaps because he went on several long-distance trips with his master, he looks much more capable, and his previous out-of-the-box temperament has also restrained a lot. .

"Of course there is no problem with this, but, terminal, whether you are writing couplets or cutting window grilles, you need paper, and it's not just ordinary paper, it has to be that kind of bright red paper.

You also know the situation of the third uncle’s family. Are you somewhat proud of this?
The third uncle didn't ask you for money, but these melon seeds, peanut candies and the like..." Yan Bugui looked at Xiang Yunduan and said.

"What? Isn't it free? Third uncle, the service service you just mentioned, is this how you serve?

I'm talking about friendship with the third uncle, but you're talking about business with me here? Xiang Yunduan joked.

"Hey, how do you say this? How can this be called business? This is all for scholars. Talking about business is so insulting to politeness!" Yan Bugui said awkwardly, and then something about writing fees came out of his mouth. Such rhetoric. "Come on, I know you know how to scheme, third uncle. Don't worry, your benefits will be indispensable. However, you have to write the couplet better!" Xiang Yunduan responded.

Yanbu Gui was very happy to see that he had taken care of Xiang Yunduan. The business had been successfully negotiated for another family. If he could buy all the couplets used for the New Year in the yard, then the family would not have to buy peanuts and melon seeds.

……

"Oh, Master 1 and Master 2, have you two made a fortune together? Why did you buy so many things together?"

"Hey, is this a radio? It looks bigger than the one Xiang Yunduan bought before!"

"Is this bicycle new? It seems to be the Phoenix brand? It's made in China. I saw it in a department store a few days ago. I heard it costs 120!"

"Hey, second uncle, I've never seen you wearing this watch before. Is this a new one too?"

"Master, there is also a record player here!"

……

Not long after Xiang Yunduan entered the house, a burst of noise suddenly broke out in the yard outside. There seemed to be quite a few people talking. After listening carefully for a while, he realized that it was Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who had returned.

Hearing the radio and the watch and bicycle in his ears, Xiang Yunduan had some guesses in his mind. He pushed the door open and walked outside. It was just as he had guessed.

Yi Zhonghai lives in the middle courtyard and Liu Haizhong lives in the backyard. But the strange thing is that after they came in for a long time, they both stopped in the front yard and stopped going in.

Of course, it might be because both of them were surrounded by enthusiastic and curious neighbors at the moment.

However, that's not entirely true. At least Xiang Yunduan could see the hint of showing off in Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Xiang Yunduan appear, he couldn't help but raise his head with a slightly proud expression.

Sure enough, whoever spreads money knows the joy of spreading money.

In such a short period of time, when the neighbors who came over saw him, they all changed their title to "Grand Master". You know, during the period when he was deposed as a "Grand Master", when the neighbors saw him, they only called him "Lao Yi" or "Lao Yi". Master Yi's.

"The bicycle is new, the watch is probably second-hand, the radio is also new, and the record player is second-hand!"

Xiang Yunduan took a look at what Yi Zhonghai had brought back and made a quick judgment.

As for Liu Haizhong, he is no less generous, and his configuration is similar to that of Yi Zhonghai.

It seems that Liu Haizhong is quite rich. You know, Liu Haizhong is different from Yi Zhonghai. Not only does he earn less than Yi Zhonghai, but he also has three children to support.

But thinking about Yan Bugui being able to spend three hundred yuan at once, he felt relieved again.

The people in this courtyard cannot be underestimated.

Even the Jia family probably has some savings.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong showed off in the front yard for a long time before going back to their respective homes.

However, the sensation caused by the two did not fade, but became stronger and stronger.

When the neighbors gathered around his house to see what was new, Yi Zhonghai felt so satisfied. After all, he bought these things just to attract the attention of his neighbors, so that he could have the opportunity to regain control of his voice.

Didn't you hear that these neighbors started calling him "Uncle" again?

“Dear neighbors, I am no longer the boss in our yard, and you can’t call me that again in the future.

However, although I, Yi Zhonghai, am no longer an old man, if my neighbors are of any use to me in the future, just ask and I will not refuse if I can help! "Yi Zhonghai said very humbly as he was surrounded by everyone.

"Master, you are highly respected. If anything happens in the future, I will come to you again. You are worthy of being such a master!"

By the way, sir, my wife’s brothers from her mother’s family are coming to the house tomorrow. I want to take some brothers-in-law around the city. I wonder if you can lend me your bicycle? "Someone among the crowd of onlookers said.

Hearing this voice, Yi Zhonghai was not only not angry, but also very happy. He did not buy these things for his own enjoyment. What he wanted was to become a great man again.

At this moment, someone was borrowing a bicycle, which was exactly what he wanted. How could there be any reason not to borrow it? Immediately I borrowed the bicycle I just bought.

night.

Xiang Yunduan was about to get ready for bed when there was a knock on the door.

"Zhuzi, what are you?" The person who came was none other than Silly Zhu.

"What a happy event, brother. I'm here to come and have a drink with you!" Silly Zhu sneaked into the room with a lunch box and a wine bottle in his hand, looking happy.

"What are you so happy about? Are you talking about a partner?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"Hey, don't lift any pot! My brother has been promoted. He is now an eighth-level cook. From next year, he will control a big stove!" Silly Zhu said proudly.

It seems that Silly Zhu has also passed the chef's level assessment!
There are ten levels of cooks, with level ten being the lowest and level one being the highest.

Shazhu was still a ninth-level cook before, and could only help the master in charge of the stove. Now, not only has his level been improved, but he can also control a stove. No wonder he is happy.

The steel rolling mill is a large factory with ten thousand people. There are three workers' canteens alone, not to mention Xiaozao.

Naturally, there can't be only one stove in the cafeteria. There are three or five small stoves. Silly Zhu can be in charge of one, which shows that the craftsmanship is still recognized.

"By the way, let me ask you, has Yi Zhonghai also passed the work-level assessment?"

After having a few drinks with Shazhu, Xiang Yunduan suddenly remembered Yi Zhonghai's behavior today and asked.

At the end of the year, all factories are conducting assessments, and the steel rolling mill is no exception. Even the chef Si Zhu has been assessed, so the workers must be the same.

"Yes, don't you know? We took the assessment a few days ago, and the first uncle was promoted from the seventh-level fitter to the eighth-level fitter. The second uncle was also promoted from the sixth-level fitter to the seventh-level fitter." Silly Zhu said.

"No wonder! Why are you buying this and that all of a sudden?" Xiang Yunduan suddenly realized.

What he didn't know was that Yi Zhonghai had already had the idea to buy those things before the assessment, and was stimulated by him.

However, many things require tickets. Yi Zhonghai was awarded a bicycle ticket only after he became one of the few eighth-level workers in the steel rolling mill.

Coupled with the fact that he bought a radio ticket from other workers, the scene this afternoon happened.

As for Liu Haizhong, buying those things is purely to save face.

He didn't pass the eighth-level engineering exam this time, and was pressured by Yi Zhonghai. He was unwilling to give in. When he heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to buy those things, he was naturally unwilling to bow his head. After all, he considered himself to be the "number one" in the yard now. Can Yi Zhonghai shine alone?
"Oh, I am still complacent about being a fourth-level worker. I didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai is already an eighth-level worker!"

Xiang Yunduan suddenly felt that the wine in his hand was no longer fragrant.

He only got the news today. After Cui Mingliang's unremitting efforts, he was originally assigned a third-level work grade. After discussion at the factory meeting, he was made an exception to the fourth grade.

This was a complete surprise. I should have been happy, but compared with Yi Zhonghai, it was nothing worth mentioning.

Although Yi Zhonghai is a bit crazy, his craftsmanship is still worthy of admiration.

These days, level eight workers are very rare, especially for jobs such as benchwork that require relatively high skills.
