Scholars in the courtyard

Ran Qiuye also spoke to persuade.

"We have enough for our family! We can't take any more of this money!"

"That, like this."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao still handed the money to Ran Qiuye.

"We're getting married soon. Sooner or later, Qiuye will be in charge of this money, so let's put it in Qiuye's hands in advance."

"Besides, as we agreed before, we don't have to worry about getting married. Our family is still our family, so why should we separate it too clearly?"

Yang Xiaotao said it sincerely. Seeing this, Ran's mother didn't say much.

After all, this is their business as a young couple.

Ran Qiuye nodded solemnly, thinking to himself, this money cannot be touched.

After the money matter was resolved, laughter came from the Ran family again, which made Yang Xiaotao value this relationship even more.

After leaving Ran's house, Yang Xiaotao walked back to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu sending Yi Zhonghai out with smiles on their faces and good words in their mouths.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao at this time, Jia Zhang raised her eyes and said, "If you ask me, the first man in our hospital is very enthusiastic. He will lend a hand to anyone who has difficulties."

"Unlike some people, who like to eat hot food and drink hot food, and are selfish."

"Don't look at how much money you make, but you still don't get a dime. You're so petty, you don't know if you'll pay for the incense in the future."

As he said that, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao.

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong came in from the outside and heard what Jia Zhang said. Although he knew that this matter was aimed at Yang Xiaotao, as the second uncle in the courtyard, it was a disaster.

"Jia Zhang, what are you shouting for?"

Liu Haizhong originally lacked a sense of presence at this time. He was worried that Yang Xiaotao would seize power. Without his identity as the second uncle, how would he show off in the future?

After hearing this, he immediately said, "I, the second uncle, have never been behind on matters in the almshouse. What do you mean by this?"

Although Mrs. Jia Zhang looked disdainful, she did not dare to pierce the second uncle's bangs, probably because this guy could control her.

Just like last time...

"I didn't tell you anything!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang muttered, Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

At this time Yang Xiaotao sneered.

"Hey, the first uncle has sent warmth to the Jia family again."

"Sure enough, he is a great man and he is very righteous. I think this kind of good thing must be told to the street office and publicized so that everyone can feel the warmth of the great man!"

When Yang Xiaotao said this, Wang Dashan immediately responded, "Yes, such a meaningful thing should be regarded as a typical propaganda!"

The crowd booed, and Yi Zhonghai looked at Yang Xiaotao's face, which showed neither happiness nor sadness.

"As the elder of the courtyard, anyone who has trouble can come to me."

"I, Yi Zhonghai, will definitely not refuse if I can help! We all belong to the same hospital and have lived together for so many years. We need to be more considerate and tolerant of each other."

When Yi Zhonghai said this, the people in the courtyard did not continue to make noises. After all, Yi Zhonghai has done a lot as a master over the years, and most people still recognized it.

"Yes, everyone has seen what our uncles have done over the years."

"It's all over now. Go home and cook."

Looking for a sense of presence in his bangs, he quickly let people spread them out to avoid further trouble.

Everyone left, and Yang Xiaotao didn't stir up trouble.

It's not just once or twice that Yi Zhonghai finds trouble, he's used to it.

"waste!"

As he approached Jia Dongxu, Yang Xiaotao said disdainfully.

Jia Dongxu clenched his fists with both hands. If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, he would have charged at him long ago.

"Incompetence is not your original sin, but laziness is destined to be a waste!"

After that, he left, leaving Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang with angry faces.

Yang Xiaotao's words were not suppressed, and many people around him heard them.

Yi Zhonghai, who walked to the door of his house, didn't say much after hearing this, and just sighed.

He also saw Jia Dongxu's problem. As Yang Xiaotao said, laziness is the biggest problem.

However, he had already made a big bet on the Jia family and was reluctant to throw it away after all his hard work.

What's more, the fact that the Jia family has an heir, and the sensible Qin Huairu, comforts him.

Walking past Jia Dongxu, I was still expecting this guy to rush up and beat him up.

Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu still didn't dare.

This also made Yang Xiaotao repeat it again, waste.

In fact, Jia Dongxu is not stupid.

With Yang Xiaotao's current strength, force and power, who wouldn't be able to overpower him to death?

Therefore, Jia Dongxu could only bury this hatred deep in his heart, glanced at the playing stick, and snorted coldly.

"Ten years from now, I'll see how crazy you still are!"

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao freshened up and read as usual.

Time is like plain cold water, tasteless but cannot stop.

In the blink of an eye, July has arrived.

Corn was planted in the villages around Yangjiazhuang, and the farmers began to clear the fields, cultivate them intensively, and take care of the fields to the best of their ability, so that they could harvest more grain during the autumn harvest.

Yang Xiaotao is also improving his abilities.

After becoming an eighth-level fitter, Yang Xiaotao's job is no longer fixed, which gives him more time to arrange freely.

However, he did not forget the mission of the system.

Become an engineer!

After what happened with Li Huaide last time, Yang Xiaotao was on Xu Yuanshan's side, so he had to speed up the process and increase his strength on some things.

For this reason, Yang Xiaotao found Xu Yuanshan.

"You want to take the engineer exam?"

"Um!"

Xu Yuanshan looked at Yang Xiaotao, somewhat confused.

At such a young age, he has reached the pinnacle of being a worker, so he should be satisfied.

But now it seems that being a level eight fitter is not his end yet!

However, this made Xu Yuanshan more optimistic about Yang Xiaotao.

Just like reading books and learning English in the workshop before, people who keep learning, keep moving forward, and are not satisfied with the status quo are the people the country needs.

"Engineers are not easy to take the exam. In our factory, we can still find eight-level fitters, but there are only three engineers."

"Besides, engineers and fitters are different. I can't even explain what's going on here. If you want to take the engineer exam, you have to be mentally prepared."

Xu Yuanshan said seriously.

How could Yang Xiaotao not know how difficult it is to be an engineer?

Most engineers these days are promoted step by step from technicians, and becoming a technician has academic requirements.

People who are illiterate and cannot read the drawings should not even think about it.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao fits this point.

"I know this. I was in high school before, so I have some basic knowledge."

"I just don't understand the assessment methods for engineers, and I want some professional books."

"It would be best if there are test questions and answers from previous assessments!"

When Yang Xiaotao first started talking, Xu Yuanshan didn't think anything of it. He had heard of the assessment method, but he didn't have any professional books. Wasn't the final assessment question handed in after the assessment?

As for the answer, why don’t you announce the results directly? How can you give the answer?

"I'll find someone to ask about this for you. However, there are a few technicians in the factory. You can go and have a look when you have nothing to do. It can be regarded as understanding in advance."

"I will say hello to you about this!"

Xu Yuanshan finally agreed to Yang Xiaotao's request and would pay him attention to the assessment.

After leaving the factory director's office, Yang Xiaotao returned to the workshop to mention it to Wang Guodong, and then got into work.

Learning is just a business behavior outside of work, and the work on the job still needs to be completed.

In this way, two days later, Yang Xiaotao received a notice from Xu Yuanshan that he could go to the Technical Department to study and visit at any time. The director there also knew about Yang Xiaotao. Although he was surprised why an eighth-level worker came to him for an internship, he still followed Xu Yuanshan's instructions. Arrangements come.

It was the first time Yang Xiaotao came to the Technology Department. When he entered the door, he felt that this place was like an exchange in later generations. A group of people were lying on the table writing furiously, while others were walking back and forth with papers. There were obviously less than ten people but there was something special about it. The feeling of being overwhelmed.

"Gong Yang?"

Just when Yang Xiaotao was standing at the door, wondering whether he should go in, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over and said hello.

"Hello, I am Yang Xiaotao from the third workshop!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I'm going to Zhang Guanyu, the director of the technical department. Just call me Lao Zhang!"

Facing an eighth-level worker like Yang Xiaotao, Director Zhang kept his attitude low, but Yang Xiaotao did not dare to look down on him.

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

"I came to study this time with a pious heart! If you have anything to say, just say it. It's all for the sake of studying and fighting for the revolutionary cause. Please feel free to give me some advice!"

"Hahaha, okay. As expected of an eighth-level fitter, this level of awareness is high!"

"Come on, let me talk to you about this technical department!"

With that said, the two walked towards the director's office. The people in the room were still busy, as if they didn't see the two at the door.

Yang Xiaotao followed Director Zhang inside, and then told some about his own situation, which impressed Director Zhang.

These days, not many people have perseverance and perseverance.

Nowadays, many engineers have been promoted step by step from technicians. It is unheard of for Yang Xiaotao to "switch jobs" from an eighth-level fitter.

However, there are no exceptions.

For example, among the engineers in their steel rolling mill, some were granted the title of engineer under exceptional circumstances.

It's just that this seems to be more difficult...

Because of this, Director Zhang is more optimistic about Yang Xiaotao.

If you want to become an engineer, you must not only have sufficient theoretical knowledge, but also have rich work experience.

It is not easy for most people to reach the top on one road, and they still have to make achievements on another road.

Having both, time, energy, and talent are indispensable.

This is also the reason why most engineers are middle-aged and there are few young talents.

In this steel rolling mill, the three engineers are quite old. Moreover, if you really want to count, these three people were not trained by the steel rolling mill.

There is not even one engineer of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant with a good reputation.

Looking at the young faces beside him, he had to respect his identity as an eighth-level fitter.

Director Zhang has some expectations. Perhaps the rewriting of the history of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is just around the corner.

After that, Yang Xiaotao stayed in the technical department for most of the day. No one took him with him. He just followed Director Zhang and watched and learned. He asked questions when he didn't understand something and wrote down what he didn't understand in his notebook.

In the next few days, the entire steel rolling mill could see that there was a small follower behind Director Zhang. If you didn't know him, it would be okay, but if you knew him, you would be a little surprised when he knew that he was an eighth-level fitter.

Then Yang Xiaotao's desire to take the engineer exam was publicized by people in the technical department, and there was another uproar in the steel rolling mill.

For workers, the eighth-level job is already an existence that is beyond the reach of most people. How many people try their best to achieve this step, work hard and even forget to eat and sleep. It has become a curse that plagues them and is out of reach.

But in Yang Xiaotao's case, the end point pursued by others is just a platform on the road to his life.

Putting aside the differences, this vision alone is impressive.
