Scholars in the courtyard

In the Yang family, Ran Qiuye put the food on the table and the two began to eat.

Yang Xiaotao felt the growl in his stomach, picked up his chopsticks and ate.

"Slower!"

Ran Qiuye said while picking up vegetables for Yang Xiaotao.

"Delicious, so delicious."

"Just lie to me, Aunt Chen said, your cooking is no worse than a formal chef."

"Just fool me!"

Ran Qiuye lowered his head, but Yang Xiaotao spoke seriously.

"That's different. You made it. It's extra delicious."

Ran Qiuye didn't speak, and the two of them ate quietly.

After finishing the meal, Ran Qiuye stood up and put away the dishes. Yang Xiaotao came to her side and hugged her from behind. Their bodies were close to each other, and their heads were pressed against their hair, making Ran Qiuye's body hot.

"I wish time would fly faster."

“It would be great if it’s October in a blink of an eye.”

Yang Xiaotao said softly, Ran Qiuye felt the heat and moisture on his neck, and his body began to weaken.

He turned around and threw himself into Yang Xiaotao's arms.

The two finally maintained restraint.

At this time, in this place, in this situation, the two people hugging each other feel the taste of love.

But he didn’t touch the forbidden fruit of love.

After a long time, Ran Qiuye left her arms, and Yang Xiaotao held her hand and walked to Ran's house.

Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, talked about the past, and talked about the future.

Soon, he arrived in front of Ran's house.

Tonight the moonlight in the sky is obscured by dark clouds, and a heavy rain is about to fall.

Arriving at the door, there was no one around.

Ran Qiuye stopped.

She knew that Yang Xiaotao would not go in.

Turn around, look up, and close your eyes.

"kiss Me…"

Uh~~~

For a long time, Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips and watched Ran Qiuye walk into the courtyard and disappear, then turned around and walked back.

Rumble

Click~~

A white thread flashed across the sky, followed immediately by a rumble that shook the surrounding area.

Yang Xiaotao quickened his pace and jogged all the way back to the courtyard.

As soon as I walked in, raindrops fell outside.

He sighed at how timely he came back. Before he could change his clothes, the system in his mind that had been silent for many days finally made a sound.

"Ding. Congratulations to the host, the happy learning system has been upgraded, please check!"

The sound sounded, and Yang Xiaotao had the urge to shout.

Finally there is some movement. For more than a week, I can't redeem things or get credits. Everything is just like a normal person, but I am always worried about it.

Fortunately, the storage space is still usable and the things inside have not been hacked by the system.

Now, it finally works again.

He walked into the house, sat on a chair, cleared his mind, and began to check the upgraded system.

"Ding, the main skill Fitter has met the upgrade conditions. The main skill can be upgraded to Engineer."

"Ding, the main skill is replaced. The fitter skill is a sub-skill!"

"Ding, the main skill engineer starts task release, and the host can activate the main skill only after completing the task."

After a few sounds, Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes, his eyes flashing slightly.

Sure enough, just like when turning on the fitter skill, you have to complete the task before you can use it.

"I don't know how many credits are needed this time."

Yang Xiaotao thought to himself and opened the activation task.

"Activation mission: The host becomes a ninth-level engineer."

"Task reward: Activate the engineer's main skill."

"Mission failed: None!"

The simple reminder made Yang Xiaotao feel even more stressed.

There is no credit requirement, which is the biggest requirement.

The system allows him to take the exam based on his own abilities.

You know, engineers and fitters are two different fields. The former starts as a technician and works his way up.

In other words, level eight fitters are not as helpful to engineers as those technicians.

Fortunately, there is no penalty for not becoming an engineer.

At most, I will be an eighth-level fitter for the rest of my life.

Yang Xiaotao thought about lying down, but the next second, he felt a little impulse again.

Why not give it a try?

This is based on your own ability!

System, what if?

Humans, after all, are insecure animals, so they have a stronger desire to control.

Yang Xiaotao was relieved that the system was back, but he had new challenges.

Then he glanced at the familiar properties panel.

Yang Xiaotao

Age: 23

Credits: 56

Skill:

Engineer (not activated)

Fitter Level 8. Fishing skill level 4. Level 4 cooking skills. Carpentry Level 2. Mechanical Proficiency (not turned on)

Exchange column: 5

Pets: Wood Elf, Chinese Pastoral Dog.

"A pauper again."

Looking at the credits, Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly.

Clean up and continue reading.

In this age without entertainment, reading has become the only pastime.

More importantly, you can also increase your knowledge and earn credits.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotao's life started to cycle again. The difference was that this time he was accompanied by a beautiful woman.

Even though they don't meet many times a week, the intimacy between the two increases day by day.

In mid-June, Yang Xiaotao finished his work, finished his meal after returning home, and then sat on a chair, ready to spend his "credits."

I found a few miscellaneous books in the past few days, added a wave of credits, and finally met the requirements for turning on the sub-skill Mechanical Mastery.

A total of one hundred credits, which is much higher than that of cooking and carpentry, and it shows that this child's skills are quite good.

With a thought, the sub-skill Mechanical Mastery is activated.

In an instant, a ding sounded, and Yang Xiaotao gained mechanical proficiency.

Mechanical Proficiency: Level 1.

Reward: A pair of fault scanning glasses.

Once you are familiar with the mechanical structure, you can use glasses to scan to find faults.

After looking at it with my hands, a palm-sized, exquisite golden box appeared.

Yang Xiaotao opened it and saw a pair of ordinary black-framed half-pack glasses inside.

I pinched it with my hands and found that the frame was very strong, the lenses were spotless, and there were no fingerprints when I pressed them with my fingers. It was indeed a system product and must be a high-quality product.

After taking it out and putting it on, the line of sight is not affected, but the eyes feel cool and comfortable.

"Not bad, not bad. Reading will become easier in the future."

Yang Xiaotao simply wore it and read for a while, but after a while, he still felt uncomfortable.

If you are still not used to wearing glasses, put them away.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual.

Today, the steel rolling mill finally notified the specific time of the assessment.

It's the weekend of this week.

The assessment that everyone had been worrying about for more than half a month was finally over, and then there was another period of intense work, everyone wanted to get benefits from this assessment.

The hard days are over, and no one wants to look back and taste them again.

Even Jia Dongxu, after learning from the lessons of previous failures, has been working hard during these times.

She is no longer listless after work. She doesn't touch Qin Huairu after get off work. She eats well and strictly abides by her schedule.

This action made Yi Zhonghai feel happy, finally seeing Jia Dongxu making progress.

Both master and apprentice were full of confidence in this assessment.

In a tense atmosphere, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but get familiar with the feel at the workstation.

Although I have the experience of an eighth-level fitter and my body muscles have memory, the distance and time from the head to the arm, from the hand to the brain and then to the reaction can determine the success or failure of the workpiece.

What Yang Xiaotao has to do is to let the hand feel cooperate with the brain, so that every command can be transmitted to the hand as quickly as possible, and then respond quickly.

Practice, keep practicing.

Even if it is only a level 5 or 6 workpiece, it can gradually make his hand feel hotter. 202Expectations

"Is there an assessment tomorrow?"

On Saturday, Yang Xiaotao came to Yangjiazhuang to take Ran Qiuye back to Sijiu City.

The two of them took advantage of the night to return home, and Ran Qiuye asked from the side.

Yang Xiaotao put away the dishes and chopsticks. It was already nine o'clock in the evening when he got home. Both of them were hungry, so they simply ordered two packs of instant noodles to cope with the situation.

Hearing Ran Qiuye's words, Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Test tomorrow!"

"Are you sure?"

Ran Qiuye also knows the significance of rank assessment to workers. After passing it, not only the status will be improved, but also more money will be paid, and the improvement of life will be obvious.

Even though she knew something about Yang Xiaotao, she was a little nervous when it came to the end.

"That goes without saying. Just wait for the good news."

"I'll see you off later!"

Yang Xiaotao said affirmatively, with strong confidence in his words.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye lowered his head, with a blush on his face, and whispered, "No, I won't go back tonight."

Yang Xiaotao didn't react after hearing this. He didn't come back to his senses until he looked at Ran Qiuye's blushing face.

He walked forward in three or two steps, stretched out his hand, held Ran Qiuye in his arms and spun him around twice.

"real?"

"I can't lie to you! Or are you not happy?"

"No, no, no, how could I not be happy? I would rather have you here every night."

"Bah, what a beautiful thought."

Ran Qiuye's little fist hit her chest.

"It's so late, go to bed early!"

"Keep your spirits up and prepare well for the exam."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Okay, okay, go to bed early, go to bed early."

The inexplicable excitement in my body was even stronger than when I was in Yangjiazhuang.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, Ran Qiuye's face burned.

"You, you can't do that."

"What kind?"

"That's it, or I'll go back."

"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand!"

After the two said this, they quickly turned off the lights and went to bed.

Sparse voices sounded, except for the last step, Yang Xiaotao took advantage of everything.

In the Jia family, Jia Dongxu also lay down early.

As for Qin Huairu, she was resting with her child in her arms.

Jia Dongxu's performance in the past few days gave her strong expectations.

Lying on the bed, Jia Dongxu's mind was not at peace.

This assessment can be skipped. Although he didn't say it clearly when he came before, he still asked Jia Dongxu to seize this opportunity. After all, if he passed it earlier, his salary and benefits would be improved earlier.

You don’t have to wait year after year, just take it one day at a time.

There are many people in the factory who think this way, so Jia Dongxu is naturally unwilling to be just a second-level fitter.

Over the years, he has become a laughing stock in comparison with Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao's life made the Jia family even more jealous and hateful.

Especially when Qin Huairu abandoned Yang Xiaotao and chose him, it gave him a sense of superiority and made him want to overpower Yang Xiaotao in everything.

But in fact, Yang Xiaotao had already left him far behind.

Therefore, he has to pursue even more vigorously.

His assessment target this time was level three fitter, and he was self-aware of this.

A fourth-level fitter, he is still barely qualified.

However, if they pass the third level, as long as Yang Xiaotao fails the assessment, the gap between them will only be a little.

This advantage is not worth mentioning.

Two children can crush Yang Xiaotao's status in this courtyard.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu opened his eyes, swallowed his saliva while looking at Qin Huairu's plump figure.

Wait for tomorrow night...
