Chapter 107: Level 7 blacksmith, second in the courtyard.
"Eighty-four."
It was past lunch time, and the people who were being assessed had not come out yet. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Old Xu came out of the workshop. After coming out of the workshop, he walked in front of Xu Dongsheng. Although Xu Dazhuang still looked calm, he couldn't help but tell Xu Dongsheng about his salary when he came in front of him, and the pride and sigh in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Dad, congratulations. Let's go back and celebrate."
Although it was expected, after hearing it with his own ears, Xu Dongsheng was sincerely happy for Xu Dazhuang. This was not just a matter of salary, but also a matter of honor and social status. So Xu Dongsheng immediately congratulated Xu Dazhuang upon hearing it, and then took Xu Dazhuang to go back to celebrate.
"Dongsheng, you go back first. Two engineers and a level 8 worker came this time. They are both top-notch technicians. After the assessment just ended, they invited us level 7 and level 8 workers who passed the assessment to have a meal together."
When Xu Dazhuang heard Xu Dongsheng say that they were going to celebrate, he immediately asked Xu Dongsheng to go back and prepare, and he would come back to celebrate with him in the evening. Now the technicians and engineers in the factory invited these newly promoted workers to have dinner together, and everyone agreed, so Xu Dazhuang naturally would not refuse.
"Okay, no problem. I'll go back and prepare the food for you. I'll cook you a few big dishes."
Xu Dongsheng nodded. This was Old Xu's social event, so he would not stop it. Then he told Xu Dazhuang and told him to go without worry.
"You must be Master's son, Senior Brother Dongsheng, right? My name is Liang Yongshun, Master's apprentice."
Seeing this, Xu Dazhuang went to the canteen. Xu Dongsheng was about to leave when a man who looked to be in his thirties came up to him and greeted him. Xu Dongsheng looked at the man in his thirties who called him "senior brother" and immediately felt that he was getting older.
"Uh, hello, you are my father's apprentice, are you taking the Level 6 exam?"
Xu Dongsheng looked at Liang Yongshun in surprise, and then asked.
"Yes, Master passed the Level 7 exam, and I passed the Level 6 exam. All of Master's current apprentices are above Level 4. Brother, you didn't see it. At that time, Engineer Xu looked at Master's operation and said directly that Master could barely pass the Level 8 exam. Among the Level 7 workers, Master is definitely this one."
Liang Yongshun talked about Xu Dazhuang and his fellow apprentices with his eyes full of pride and honor. At the same time, he mentioned Xu Dazhuang's assessment today. As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up and said that Xu Dazhuang was amazing.
"That's great news. Both you and my dad have passed the test. My dad is very good at this. He has achieved everything he has today with his own hard work. I believe that you, my senior brother, will become a level 7 worker sooner or later."
Xu Dongsheng said to Liang Yongshun with a smile.
"Thank you for your good words. I believe I can do it. Well, Brother, I will go back first. I will go back and tell my wife about the great event today. I will bring my whole family to thank Master another day. Brother, if you need any help, just let me know. I live in the yard of No. 13 Shunxiang Hutong. When you need to find me, you can come to me or ask someone to come and tell me."
Liang Yongshun was very excited, and then he immediately told Xu Dongsheng that he was going back and would thank Xu Dazhuang another day. Xu Dongsheng welcomed him, and then he and Liang Yongshun left the steel mill and went their separate ways.
After leaving the steel rolling mill, Xu Dongsheng went home. Today, Xu Dongsheng was going to make a medicinal meal for Old Xu, so after arriving home, Xu Dongsheng started to get busy.
When Xu Dongsheng started to get busy, most of the people who had taken the assessment at the steel rolling mill today had asked for leave and came back. No matter whether they passed or not, everyone came back to at least report to their families.
"Dongsheng, your dad is amazing. He almost passed the eighth level test. If he passed the eighth level test, he would be the first eighth level worker in our hospital. He would be a person that the factory director would have to bow his head to. However, the seventh level is already secured. Uncle Dazhuang is the second seventh level worker in our hospital."
Xu Dongsheng had just started cooking when Han Desong from the yard entered the yard. When he saw Xu Dongsheng, he immediately told Xu Dongsheng excitedly that Xu Dazhuang almost became the first eighth-level worker in the yard today.
"Brother Song, you are not bad. Seeing how proud you are, I guess you have secured your fourth-level welder qualification, right?"
Looking at Han Desong, Xu Dongsheng smiled and said.
"Hey, I'm lucky. I performed exceptionally well today. I can't compare to Uncle Dazhuang. Okay, are you preparing for the celebration dinner? I'm leaving first. I have to go report the news. My wife is still waiting for the letter."
Han Desong said this and went to the Intermediate Court. He got promoted and his salary increased a lot, who wouldn't be happy?
Xu Dongsheng began to cook. He prepared eight dishes and a soup, and a big pot full of steamed white flour buns. As for why he had to cook so much, Xu Dongsheng guessed that this was the first time he would meet Old Xu's apprentices tonight.
I don't know how many people came back, but Xu Dongsheng should have counted at least half of them. That's more than a dozen people.
Sure enough, in the evening, except for Liang Yongshun who passed the Level 6 exam during the day, there were also those who took the Level 4 and Level 5 exams today. All the others came. There were thirteen people in total, and the big round table was almost full.
These are all level 4 and 5 blacksmiths, as for those who did not take part in this assessment, it can be said that, starting from today, Lao Xu has trained more than 30 level 4 blacksmiths for the factory. As for the blacksmiths who have been promoted, there is no need to count them. Now Lao Xu does not need to take apprentices anymore, as more than 30 apprentices have reached level 4, and it is time for him to take in apprentices.
Xu Dongsheng took out some good wine to entertain his fellow apprentices. While drinking, he told everyone that he did not choose the path of a blacksmith. They all talked about their own things and he called them brother or sister.
But unlike the lively atmosphere at Xu Dongsheng's house, the atmosphere at the second uncle's house in the courtyard was more solemn today. The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu did not dare to breathe heavily at all. They went to bed without eating, fearing that Liu Haizhong would give them a beating if he did not like them.
"You're asleep so early. I've been working hard outside all day, swinging a sledgehammer all day, and now you're back and you're sleeping without even a shout. I'm going to beat you two bastards to death."
However, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could not escape the leather belt. Liu Guangqi listened to the cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, his legs were shaking, but he could not say a word to help them.
Jia Dongxu's family is doing okay, though. Jia Dongxu has successfully passed the second-level fitter exam. From now on, Jia Dongxu's salary has increased from thirty-three yuan to thirty-eight yuan. This is just the pure salary. If you add the monthly bonus, it will be more than forty yuan. His life will get better.
There were a total of six families holding celebration banquets in the courtyard, but Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai's families were not among them. However, Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's master, and Jia Dongxu had passed the second-level fitter exam. As a master, he was naturally invited and sat in the upper seat. In this way, Yi Zhonghai sat between Jia Zhangshi and the aunt, which seemed quite similar at first glance.
