Very early in the morning.

After eating breakfast, Yi Chuanzong quickly packed away the bowls from his master's room. As soon as he went out, he was stunned.

"Why are you here?"

Yi Chuanzong asked with a surprised look on his face.

After asking, he noticed that the three apprentices were carrying things in their hands, including tobacco, wine, tea, sugar, vegetables and fruits, and eggs and cakes.

Seeing that he had spent a lot of money, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "Who are you? Are you getting rich?"

Gong Zhoujie chuckled and said happily: "Master, we have all passed the assessment! How is it? Our performance is not bad, right? You will be the apprentice of three fourth-level fitters in the future!"

Yi Chuanzong's face became particularly strange, and he asked: "Isn't it normal for you to pass?"

Gong Zhoujie looked startled, then he smiled again, "Yes, it's normal! It's normal! We follow the master, how can we not improve our skills!"

Yi Chuanzong smiled and shook his head and said, "Your master's wife is in the house. Come inside and sit down. I'll wash this bowl first." After saying that, he turned his head and shouted inside, "Tiger Lady."

We, our three apprentices are here."

Inside the room, Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth secretly, turned her head and her face became gentle, "Zhou Jie and the others are here, right? Come in quickly."

Yi Chuanzong grinned, nuzzled at the three of them, and walked towards the kitchen.

The three of them nodded and walked into the room, smiling and shouting: "Master's wife!"

Lou Xiao'e greeted warmly, "Sit down quickly, you three haven't been here for a while."

Liu Yuan and the other three looked at each other and could only smile bitterly.

In fact, they wanted to come and walk around, but Yi Chuanzong assigned too many homework.

Since their second visit after the Chinese New Year, the workload has doubled, even taking into account their holidays.

Yes, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, that is, don't come over if you have anything to do. This time, the three of them came over to take a look before Yi Chuanzong had time to assign homework.

Seeing the three people walking to the table, Lou Xiao'e looked slightly annoyed and said, "I told you, come here, don't buy so many things, your family is not rich. Put it on the ground first, and then clean it up after he comes in. Don't do it later."

That’s it, we have no shortage here.”

"Okay, Mistress."

Liu Yuan and the others put ordinary things on the ground, except for a stick of red plum cigarettes and two bottles of Erguotou on the table.

Just as Lou Xiao'e was about to pour tea for the three of them, Gong Zhoujie quickly reached out and took the teapot over, "Master's wife, we can do it ourselves."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and did not refuse. She was neither an outsider nor a disciple. She was not so particular. She glanced at the tobacco and alcohol on the table and said, "You three know his preferences. This person has many problems. He either likes to smoke or drink. He

I just stopped smoking, and I thought I could help him quit smoking for a few months, but now he's fine, and he doesn't have to suffer."

Gong Zhoujie and the other three smiled awkwardly.

Lou Xiao'e didn't mean to blame. After speaking, she asked with concern: "There is a promotion test for No. 7 in the factory. Did all three of you pass?"

Liu Yuan smiled flatteringly and said: "Yes! We have a master to teach us, so why not advance?"

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her head and yelled out the door: "You masters are not as diligent as you. In the past few days since I took leave, I have already taken root in that recliner. There is no need to look for it everywhere."

After hearing this, Shi Hang and the three of them smiled all over their faces. They not only lay down in the yard, but also in the factory.

Just when Lou Xiao'e wanted to take revenge and exposed her shortcomings in front of Liu Yuan and the others, Yi Chuanzong walked in and asked, "Are you talking bad about me again?"

Lou Xiao'e's voice stopped suddenly.

Gong Zhoujie and the others shook their heads with ambiguous expressions and said, "No, no, we are talking about the assessment."

Yi Chuanzong sneered and looked at Lou Xiao'e's expression of calmly drinking tea. Should he say that she had a guilty conscience or that she had a guilty conscience?

She must have said something bad about him!

He wiped his hands with a towel on the washbasin shelf at the door, then walked to the table and looked at Hongmeiyan and Erguotou for two seconds.

"Tsk."

"I almost forgot to smoke it when I saw this thing. You are so thoughtful and you also know that I like these red plums."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes. She had to listen to this man's words in reverse. She almost forgot that she was always thinking about him, but it just bought into his heart.

Yi Chuanzong then nodded with satisfaction, "The cigarettes are very good. You don't need to bring this wine. I bought a lot of it a while ago."

He likes red plums not because they are easy to smoke. In fact, the aftertaste is a bit astringent, not as tangy as Chinese cigarettes, which has a dull plum flavor. The main reason is that he smoked this cigarette in the 21st century and it tasted similar. He misses it very much.

.

"Master, as long as you like it, I won't bring any wine next time." Shi Hang said with a smile.

"No, no, no, don't bring me any cigarettes!" Yi Chuanzong waved his hands repeatedly.

The only reason he smoked Chinese cigarettes last year was because Sister Hua gave him two cigarettes. It was agreed at the time that it would only be those two cigarettes this year. Now it is considered a violation of the agreement.

He was somewhat worried about whether this year would go well. Not just two boxes, but two boxes would be fine!

Liu Yuan smiled ambiguously, "Okay, we won't bring any more." In fact, they felt that Yi Chuanzong was henpecked. Otherwise, how could he not smoke without cigarettes?

Yi Chuanzong didn't know what they were thinking. He put the cigarettes on the table inside, then walked to his wine cabinet with two bottles of wine and said: "I'm serious, you don't need to bring me cigarettes or wine."

Come on, let me show you my inventory! Let you gain insights!"

After saying that, he opened the cabinet door with both hands.

Liu Yuan and the others also watched helplessly. With a squeaking sound, the two doors of the cabinet were opened. The three of them were stunned, and then exclaimed: "Master, how much did you buy? Maotai, Fenjiu, Erguotou! Stop talking."

Forty bottles too, right?"

Yi Chuanzong placed Erguotou on the third floor. He happened to drink two bottles in the past two days, so two places were vacant.

He then closed the door, then turned around and grinned, "Forty bottles? You only saw the top, but are there two layers below this cabinet?"

Gong Zhoujie and the others were stunned. There are still forty bottles?

Yi Chuanzong came to the seat on the north side and sat down. He hugged his wife and touched her belly. He said calmly: "I bought one hundred and twenty bottles before, which is enough to drink for a while. I don't have a cellar here.

I can’t hold back any alcohol, so drink something fresh.”

Lou Xiao'e elbowed him twice. This person just loves to show off, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself. He is not a valuable thing that must be made known to everyone.

Yi Chuanzong did not talk about this anymore, but said with a smile: "Congratulations on your successful promotion. This month's fifty-two and eight dollars can be spent regardless of family status. There is no pressure in life. This fitter's skills can be considered to be at the forefront."

road.”

The three of them were a little excited. They had been apprentices for three years, and Liu Yuan had been working for four years. He had been working as a full-time worker for less than a year, and now he had become a fourth-level fitter. They were promoted faster than those masters!

Nowadays, the three of them are no longer under financial pressure at a young age, and their skills have reached a certain level. This has greatly improved people's confidence and level.

Yi Chuanzong nodded slightly when he saw the excited expressions of the three people, and continued: "The skills of this fitter are definitely important. This is the guy we eat from, and it can be regarded as a golden rice bowl. No one despises this thing."

"When I first started working and entering the factory, I put most of my energy into fitter work, and then started studying other things."

"You still have a lot of room for improvement now, and you should focus on improving your benchwork skills. I think you won't be satisfied with being a fourth-level benchworker, right? In that case, you can just lie down now.

Your craftsmanship is now close to that of a fifth-level fitter, and you will be able to do it for a lifetime."

"However, the money is indeed enough for you to spend now, but after all, I am still a little cautious. If you want to live so comfortably with me, you have to work harder."

Shi Hang immediately made a serious promise: "Master, we will not relax!"

Gong Zhoujie also said seriously: "Master, how can we lie flat? At least we can lie flat if we are like you."

Liu Yuan's eyes were a little persistent. He was the most miserable among the three. There were too few promotion places in 1962, and he was not successfully promoted to a full-time job in the third year.

He has endured the hardship of repeating a grade, and now that he has the opportunity to improve, of course he knows to cherish it.

What's more, after his skills improved, he drifted away. Now his mentality has changed, and even though he has not been pulled down, he is still afraid.

"Master, we will do whatever you arrange."

Yi Chuanzong did not speak. He nodded slightly, then frowned and began to think, while the hand on the table tapped the table rhythmically.

Lou Xiao'e turned her head and looked at Yi Chuanzong's face. This man rarely looked serious, but when he was serious, he had a unique charm that made people feel at ease.

However, it was rare for the three of them to see Yi Chuanzong in this state. In his contemplative gaze, even if his eyes did not fall on them, they remained silent for a while.

Liu Yuan and the others couldn't help but secretly thought: 'Sure enough, this is the true face of the master.'

'Once the master becomes serious, he feels so depressed!'

'Master, what will you do for us?'

No one bothered anyone. Yi Chuanzong pondered for a while and said: "Actually, according to my previous plan, I planned to let you advance to level four this year, level five next year, and level six the year after that.

I tried my best to pass CET-7 in 1966."

The eyes of Gong Zhoujie and the other three people suddenly widened. They were promoted to one level every year!

How many years does it take to reach level seven?

Stop making trouble, except for the master, there is no one in the whole country.

This is not ordinary difficult!

Yi Chuanzong glanced at the three of them, and then frowned slightly, saying that it was inconvenient to say something clearly.

If you can't get promoted in the spring assessment of 2006, there will be no chance for promotion in the future.
