Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up, washed up as usual, and then heated up the steamed buns. After eating, he began to read.

Now all he can rely on is this happy learning system, and he just hopes that he will not become a nerd in the end.

As for outside, it's too cold, so it's better to stay at home.

The same goes for the people in the compound.

Except for those who have something to do, everyone stays at home to avoid going out and suffering from the cold.

In the front yard of the third uncle's house, the third uncle went out early in the morning with a fishing basket and a fishing rod. He was angry last night and was frozen in the middle of the night, so he didn't sleep well.

Since I couldn't sleep, I simply got up early, grabbed a good spot, dug a hole and fished first.

Fishing is considered an important source of livelihood for many families these days, and the fish caught in the market are also popular because they do not require a ticket and can be exchanged for something.

Just like the eggs laid by hens in the countryside, those who enter the supply and marketing cooperative naturally need a ticket, but those who do not join the supply and marketing cooperative naturally do not need a ticket.

Although it is more expensive, it is still available.

Regarding these, the people in the street office also know that as long as they don't go too far, they don't care. After all, people have to live.

Yan Fugui went out on the front foot, and the door of Jia's house behind him also opened.

Last night, Mrs. Jia Zhang said she wanted money, and Qin Huairu naturally remembered it in her heart.

Don't go out early in the morning and try to come back at night.

Of course, she wouldn't go back empty-handed. As a bride returning home for the first time, she had to get something.

Originally, she wanted Jia Dongxu to go back with her, but wouldn't going back now put a burden on the family?

What's more, you have to buy things. If you buy less, you can't get rid of it, and you have to spend money.

After much thought, I decided to go back alone.

In his arms, he held a pack of White Rabbit toffees, which were in hot demand at this time. Not only did children like them, but adults also liked them.

You can give gifts to others with ease.

This bag was given to me by my uncle when he got married. Mrs. Jia Zhang was reluctant to give it to the people in the yard, so she put it away and put it to good use this time.

In addition, there was a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, which he went home to honor his father.

Qin Huairu wore a scarf and walked towards Qinjia Village in the north wind.

After Qin Huairu left, a while later, Xu Damao, who was wrapped tightly, ran out of the backyard. When passing by the middle courtyard, he first glanced at Shazhu's house, and then spat in the direction of Yang Xiaotao's house.

"You two wait for me!"

After saying that, he ran out of the yard.

At the first uncle's house, watching Xu Damao leave, Yi Zhonghai held a cup and walked unsteadily to the second uncle's house.

He had something to talk to Liu Haizhong. Tomorrow was the day for the grading assessment. Those with corrupt thoughts and morals would not be able to pass easily.

The north wind howled in the yard, getting stronger and colder.

Yang Xiaotao read books for a day, reading everything left over from junior high school. He didn’t know much about books, only mathematics and Chinese. As for English? nonexistent.

However, I found a Russian book from the pile of books. I couldn't understand it, so I lost interest.

At dinner time, Yang Xiaotao went to Uncle Chen's house for a meal. Although it was just steamed buns and cabbage gangsters with pickles, Uncle Chen also took out half a bottle of sorghum wine. The two drank for a while, talking about what happened yesterday, and asked Chen The uncle is very high-minded.

Go home, read a book, and sleep.

The system's experience points have been raised to 23 points. After reading the high school textbooks, it is estimated that it can be raised to 100 points.

From now on, I can only find books to read.

One night passed, Yang Xiaotao got up, drank some corn paste, and then took Yang Wei with him to go out.

The sky is a bit gloomy today, and it's probably going to snow. This is the second snow since the beginning of winter. Each snowfall is colder than the last, and it's probably even colder during the Chinese New Year.

A lot of people got up in the courtyard today, and they just washed up and walked out of the courtyard.

Because today is the day for the grading assessment of the steel rolling mill.

Among the crowd, the elder Yi Zhonghai was there. People kept saying hello along the way, and he responded to them one by one, showing the appearance of an elder.

Behind him, Jia Dongxu and Shazhu were in high spirits and full of confidence in this assessment.

Yang Xiaotao followed the crowd towards the steel rolling mill. There were more and more pedestrians along the way, and he met an acquaintance from the workshop and said hello.

Everyone was talking and laughing, hoping to succeed in the assessment this time, get more money and notes, and live a good year.

In the crowd, Yang Xiaotao walked together with acquaintances.

He inherited his father's position and was a fitter apprentice in the third workshop.

Several people around him were from the third workshop, among them Zhou Peng was on one side.

In addition, there is also the team leader of his station, Wang Fa, an old fitter in his thirties, who will also take the fifth-level fitter assessment today.

"Xiao Tao, how's your practice going?"

Wang Fa has a kind face and is kind to others. He is a good old man in the workshop and speaks with a friendly tone.

In the group, he took more care of Yang Xiaotao and sometimes taught him step by step.

Of course, because of Yang's father's incident, many people in the workshop turned to Yang Xiaotao. This was not because of pity, but because of the unique feelings of this era.

A person who sacrifices his life for national property will be honored by his descendants.

It is also an honorable thing to help the descendants of the children of martyrs.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, I will definitely be able to pass this time!"

"Okay, just have confidence!"

Wang Fa patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.

Then the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the factory.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has tens of thousands of people and is considered a large factory in Forty-Nine City.

In this courtyard world, because it is the place where the protagonist exists, the steel rolling mill has a higher status and the scale of the factory is larger than in the history of the real world.

The entire factory is composed of production department, administrative department, personnel and logistics, security, transportation and other departments. In these four-nine cities, the factory pays well and the workers have high status. Many people can't get in even if they try hard to get in.

Therefore, every work station is an iron rice bowl, an iron rice bowl that can be succeeded by father after death and by brother by brother.

Among these departments, the production workshops are the most numerous, have the most workers, and are also the most popular.

There are ten production workshops in total, with varying numbers of people, ranging from one to two hundred people to three to five hundred people.

There is a director and a secretary in the factory. Further down there are four deputy directors.

Among them, factory director Yang Youning is in charge of administration and leads the overall situation, deputy director Xu Yuanshan is in charge of workshops one to five, deputy director Chen Gong is in charge of workshops six to ten, and deputy director Li Huaide is in charge of logistics matters.

As for secretary Liu Huaimin, he did not appear in the TV series, but how is it possible for a large company to have no secretary?

Yang Xiaotao also thinks that it may be the butterfly effect caused by time travel.

Under the production workshop, there is a division of labor, and each workshop has a director. Under the director, there are also many teams, led by team leaders.

Just like Director Sun whom I met at Jia Dongxu's wedding, he was the director of the first workshop.

Of course, the group leaders themselves are still workers.

The second uncle in the compound is also a blacksmith team leader.

As for the first uncle, as an eighth-level fitter, although he does not hold an official position, he has a high status. Even the factory director has to give him three points.

Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop and walked to the workstation.

He is a fitter apprentice. Although he holds the position, if he cannot become a regular employee within two years, he will be transferred to other positions because he cannot adapt to production.

The wages and benefits are naturally not as good as those in the workshop, and you may even be fired.

Dismissing a worker is no small matter these days, but dismissing a worker who cannot adapt to production can still be done.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao has already turned on the system, completed the activation task, and has reached the peak of the first-level fitter. It is no problem to face the assessment of the first-level fitter.

Slowly calm down, place the tools neatly, and wait for the assessment.

The kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

Silly Zhu wiped the table clean excitedly, and the several cooks participating in the assessment were also in high spirits.

As the saying goes, a cook cannot starve to death in a lean year. All of these kitchen staff have rosy faces and have no food at all.

There are three canteens in the steel rolling mill. There are dozens of people in each canteen, who circle around the pots every day, so there are several chefs in each canteen, which are also called chefs.

These chefs themselves all have levels.

According to national regulations, chefs are service personnel, so their levels are exactly the opposite of those of workshop workers. Level 10 is the lowest and level 1 is the highest.

Only when you reach level ten can you be considered a formal worker.

Now in the back kitchen, the highest level cook is only the seventh-level cook, and the remaining ones are all eighth-level cooks.

Therefore, if you want to be a chef, you must pass the assessment and become a level eight cook. Only then can you be qualified.

Of course, if you want to take part in the assessment, you also have to pay attention to your qualifications.

That is Silly Zhu, who is somewhat famous in the Four-Nine City, and has good skills. He is also a ninth-level cook. He was allowed to participate in the assessment after a message came from above.

Of course, with Shazhu's arrogance, he didn't even care about the chef in the factory.

Without him, his craftsmanship is just better than others.

At this time, several masters around were almost ready and waiting for the assessment to begin.

After Si Zhu finished cleaning up, he suddenly felt a tightness in his buttocks, then he apologized and ran to the toilet.

I got up a little late this morning. In order not to delay the assessment, I ate a cold bun. Who would have thought that now I would have a stomachache and I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Silly Zhu ran to the toilet and was seen by Xu Damao.

As a film projectionist, he was the only one in the entire factory to take the assessment, so after arriving at the factory, he quickly completed the assessment and passed it smoothly.

At this time, I was planning to go to the workshop to have a look. If Yang Xiaotao didn't pass, today's "backhand" would let him go first, but if he passed, he would naturally be relieved.

Who would have thought that when I got here, I would find Silly Zhu, and seeing that he was in a hurry, he should go to the toilet.

He also knew that Silly Zhu was participating in the assessment, and thought that a cook had nothing to show off. Even if he passed, he would only be at level eight, which was much worse than his salary.

However, as Si Zhu's enemy since childhood, happiness in life is based on Si Zhu's pain.

As long as he can cause trouble for Si Zhu and as long as Si Zhu is unhappy, Xu Damao will be happy.

As for the consequences, never mind.

If you can't beat me, just get a beating.

Anyway, you have been beaten to gain experience, so what are you afraid of?

I thought to myself, and didn't care about the workshop. Seeing that there was no one around, I ran to the toilet.
