Zhang Yu rode his bicycle all the way to Hongxing Primary School.
"Young man, are you looking for someone?"
The old man at the door stopped Zhang Yu.
"Hello, uncle, I'm here to see Principal Yuan."
"Oh, you're looking for Principal Yuan! Then you can register."
Zhang Yu put away his bicycle and followed the old man to the guard room. He filled in his name, the house number of the compound, and his unit on the form.
"Young man, are you a worker in a steel rolling mill?"
"Yes, sir."
"What a coincidence, I used to be a worker in a steel rolling mill. Who is your master?"
"Really? That's such a coincidence. My master's surname is Ma, Ma Qingyong."
The old man looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.
"Are you Zhang Yu?"
"Old man, how do you know me?"
Zhang Yu asked with a puzzled look.
"Hahaha, it turns out it's really you. Good, good, good. You're such a good guy, with a talented person and a good understanding."
"Your master told me about you. My surname is Zhao. Your master has mentioned it to you."
Your surname is Zhao?
This surname Zhang Yu is so impressive. Master Ma once said that there used to be an eighth-level welder in the steel rolling mill named Zhao Zhongqiang.
I worked in the steel rolling mill before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, the steel rolling mill was still the property of the Lou family.
Master Ma was taught step by step by Master Zhao, who was Zhang Yu’s master.
"Are you? Are you the master?"
No wonder Zhang Yu doesn't know him, Master Ma has never recommended him. Zhang Yu only knows that his master is called Zhao Zhongqiang.
Fate is such a wonderful thing. I never expected that I would meet my master in this place.
The master laughed happily when he saw Zhang Yu recognized him.
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. With you as my apprentice, Xiaoma has a successor."
"I heard from your master that you are a fifth-level worker at a young age. Your master speculates that you can expect to be an eighth-level worker before you are thirty years old."
Zhang Yu's originally straight back suddenly became shorter. Fortunately, this was not before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Zhang Yu was not forced to kowtow!
"Hey, Master, that's an exaggeration. I still have to practice step by step. I can learn your skills for a lifetime."
"Your master is very capable. You are much better than your master. At your age, your master carries a flag and runs around every day."
"I've been working for several years, but I'm still stuck at level three."
Zhang Yu's mind changed and he knew what the master was going to do. There was a strike and demonstration at that time.
Zhang Yu just smiled and didn't dare to talk nonsense. If the master is not authentic and learns from the master, it will be easy for the master to hit him on the head.
The master saw that Zhang Yu didn't answer his words. If he knew this kid, he still didn't know what he was thinking.
"You kid is so boring. Are you afraid that your master will become like this? Are you afraid that I will imitate your master?"
"Hey, no, how could I miss you so much."
"Master, my master has been very kind to me. I don't think it's too late to repay me, so how can I talk nonsense!"
The master nodded after hearing this and approved of this young disciple.
As a teacher, it is the duty to preach, teach, and resolve doubts, and it is also the duty of the disciples to respect their teachers.
Master is also testing Zhang Yu in disguise. If Zhang Yu doesn't keep his mouth shut, he will talk nonsense.
The master will tell Master Ma immediately, so that Master Ma will immediately end the master-disciple fate.
"Okay, your master did not misjudge the person. He did a good job of respecting his teacher."
"Okay, I won't tell you anything else. Didn't you find Xiao Yuan? He is in the office. Go quickly!"
"Hey, Master, please rest, I will retreat first."
"Go away."
Zhang Yu carefully closed the door, put on a smile, took two steps at a time, and entered the campus.
When I was sure that I was out of the sight of the master, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yu is really afraid of saying the wrong thing. After all, seniority is here. If he makes the old man unhappy, the master appoints him to deal with it.
Zhang Yu came to Hongxing Primary School for the first time. He was not in a hurry to go to Comrade Yuan. He walked around the campus first and had a look.
Then I came to the principal's office, looked in from the window sill, and saw Lao Yuan reading the newspaper with a teacup in his hand.
This leisurely look is so different from the busyness of Comrade Lao Wang.
Lao Yuan also noticed someone on the window sill, turned around and took a look, saw it was Zhang Yu, and quickly waved to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu opened the door and said, "Dad, I see you are quite free!"
"How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Comrade Lao Yuan nodded immediately.
"Okay, who else is there?"
Comrade Lao Yuan has long wanted to go out and have a good time, call his old buddy, and have a good drink.
There are people watching over me at home, so I don’t feel happy drinking. The only time I drank happily was with Dad Zhang.
Comrade Lao Wang saved face for Lao Yuan that day and ignored him. As for Father Zhang, he originally said that he should drink less and less, but in the end he couldn't hold it in anymore and drank Comrade Lao Yuan to bed.
Because of this incident, Zhang’s mother often complained about Lao Zhang. When the in-laws met for the first time, she drank him up and laid him down, for fear of leaving a bad impression.
Facts have proved that Zhang’s mother was overthinking it. After Lao Yuan sobered up the next day, he took Lao Zhang and kept praising him for his good drinking capacity.
If Lao Zhang had to stay one more night and get drunk again, Mengyi should speak up and suppress this matter.
Lao Zhang saw that Lao Yuan also loved wine, so he invited Lao Yuan to come to the countryside to meet him when he had time. He would have enough wine.
Lao Yuan agreed happily, but with Comrade Lao Wang here, it was purely a delusion.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the countryside, but he's afraid that Lao Yuan will be embarrassed if he goes there. Comrade Lao Wang can see that Lao Zhang has a pretty good drinking capacity, and Lao Yuan is just looking for abuse.
Zhang Yu picked up the teapot on the table, went out to throw away the tea and rice, then made another pot of tea and poured it for Lao Yuan.
"My master will be with you tonight. Then, you two old friends, let's have some drinks together."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I can do it."
"It's been a while since I had a drink with Lao Ma."
"Your master's drinking capacity, hey, I don't even bother to say it, it's only half a catty at most, which is far behind me."
Half a catty? Let’s start with one catty.
Zhang Yu has seen both Lao Yuan and the master's drinking capacity. To be honest, Lao Yuan is at most a talkative king, and the master can drink two of them.
But as Lao Yuan said, it’s not easy for Zhang Yu to dismantle him.
"Really? It seems that you have a lot of food, Dad!"
"Haha, just so-so. To be honest, after so many years of running around in wine bars, this is the first time I meet someone I admire, and that's your dad."
"I really like Brother Zhang's drinking capacity, and I am also happy to drink with Brother Zhang. Our drinking capacity is not much different, and we drink happily."
What else could Zhang Yu say, he could only nod his head.
"Yes, otherwise I would say you are massive."
"Dad, when you get off work soon, just go to the state-owned hotel. I'll reserve a private room there. Just tell me your name and the receptionist will take you there."
Zhang Yu didn't want to listen to Lao Yuan's boast. I guess it was almost time for Mengyi to get off work. He stood up and walked out.
"Okay, why don't you just sit around and leave as soon as you come?"
Comrade Lao Yuan hasn’t had enough of it yet.
"Dad, Mengyi is about to get off work, and I have to pick him up."
"In the evening, during dinner, I can listen to your chat, okay?"
As soon as he heard that Zhang Yu was going to pick up Mengyi, Lao Yuan immediately stopped and urged Zhang Yu.
"Okay, okay, go pick up Mengyi quickly. Let's talk again in the evening."
