The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 5 Obtaining the Electrician's Certificate

Several days passed in a hurry, and it was the day of the electrician's assessment.

I went out early in the morning to Aunt Wang in the street office, got the electrician assessment registration form, and took the bus to the worker's technical school.

Look at these people who came to take the electronic certificate test.There must be a small number of two hundred people.

As he said that, he walked into the queue and waited. The first subject of the assessment was the written test.

Only those who pass the written test can continue to take the practical test, and the electronic manual will be issued directly after the practical test is passed.

While waiting, a person came over.

"Xie Cheng, are you also here to test your electrician certificate?"
Looking back, they were really acquaintances. They were junior high school classmates with Yan Jiecheng, nicknamed Ma Sanshi, and named Ma Lei.

With Yan Jiecheng, there is also a person named Ding Sen, nicknamed Ding Sanmu.The three are best friends in school.

Yan Jiecheng: "Sanshi, you also come to take the electrician certificate test. With your family's conditions, your father didn't arrange a job for you?"

Ma Lei: "Hi! My dad is a clerk in a small power supply station."

"What other job can you arrange for me? Isn't this a temporary job for me at the power supply station?"

"My dad said that I can only be transferred to a regular worker if I have an electrician certificate. This is where I come here. What about you? You found a job"?
"Don't mention it, I've been doing odd jobs these days. It's not that our factory is recruiting electricians. You only need an electrician's book. Why don't I come to take the electrician certificate."

Ma Lei: "Okay, after the exam is over. Let's find a small restaurant to eat and chat. It's been more than three months since I graduated, and I really miss you."

Yan Jiecheng: "By the way, what did Miki do? Since I graduated, I have been busy looking for a job."

Ma Lei: "That boy Miki has been admitted to a technical secondary school, and now he is studying in the School of Mechanical Engineering. Let's talk after the exam. The exam is about to start."After speaking, he dragged Yan Jiecheng to the classroom.

Walk into the classroom, each person has a small table, and after everyone has sat down in their seats, the exam questions will be distributed.

Holding the test paper in front of me, I read it roughly. There are only ten questions in total, and none of them are difficult at all, at least I think so.

Pick up the pen and write vigorously in less than 10 minutes.

Then I read it again from beginning to end, and it was no problem to write the name.

I read it again carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, picked up the test paper and handed it to the front desk.

Then walk out of the classroom.The results will come out at 2:[-] pm, and those who pass the written test will continue to assess the practical operation.

After waiting for half an hour, Ma Lei came out.

Ma Lei: "Let's go to eat first."He dragged Yan Jiecheng to a small restaurant at the school gate.

I ordered two large bowls of rice, two dishes, and one soup, and it cost a total of one yuan and two cents.

Yan Xiecheng wanted to give the money, but Ma Lei refused to let him. In the end, it was Ma Lei who gave the money. There was no way that Yan Xiecheng didn't have enough votes.

While eating and talking, Shi Lei said, "That boy Miki performed exceptionally well in the exam. It's really good. He can get a technician's salary after finishing technical secondary school."

"Yeah, who told us not to study hard, and the electrician is also good. Are you in the same power supply station as your father?"
"Yeah, it doesn't matter to my dad in other power supply stations. My dad can take care of me in the same power supply station with my dad. What about you, what's the name of the factory you went to?"

"It used to be the No. [-] Steel Rolling Plant. It was renamed in [-], and now it's called Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant."

"That's right. That factory is pretty big, with about [-] employees. Such a big factory has much more benefits than ordinary small factories."

"It's okay. More than half of the 21 households in our compound have family members who work in the rolling mill. Our street director told me that as long as you have an electrician certificate to enter the factory, you will be paid 35 yuan a month for a first-class worker. Compared with others The type of work lost three years of apprenticeship time."

Ma Lei: "Yes, apprentices only pay 18 yuan per month in the first year, 20 yuan per month in the second year, and 22 yuan per month in the third year."

"You have earned an extra two hundred yuan a year for the past three years. How about the grade test, don't you need to wait? You can take the grade test every year, or will you be allowed to take the grade test after three years."

"I don't know. I haven't passed the exam for the electrician. Why think about it so much? If I can't get the electrician later, it won't be fun?"

Ma Lei: "That's right, let's go then? Look at the results of the written test, don't really fail."

Walking to the bulletin board at the school gate, he began to look for the names of the two of them.

In the list where the practical assessment can be conducted, I found the names of the two of them, and walked in happily.

Unlike the [-] or so people in the morning, the number of people who came to take the practical test in the afternoon was reduced by more than half.

There are only five steps in the actual assessment. Others don't know it, but I have completed it anyway.

After that, I got a small blue book, which is the electrician certificate!With this thing, I can go to work in the rolling mill.

After coming out of the test site, he saw Ma Lei waiting for him.

"You came out so fast, how is it? Have you passed the exam?"

Ma Lei took out the same small notebook and said, "It must have passed, you think my buddies have spent the past few months in the power supply station for nothing."

Walking and talking, Shi Lei came to an intersection and said: "Okay, now we both have official jobs, let's get together when we have a break." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands and left.

Back to the courtyard, just about to go in.

Uncle: "Waiting for solution."

"What's the matter, sir?"

Uncle: "Xie Cheng, you can't do odd jobs all the time! How about I help you find a temporary worker in a rolling mill? Let's do it first, and I'll become a full-time worker when I have a chance."

"Thank you, I really don't need it. I have already found a job and I will go to work tomorrow."

Uncle: "I heard from your dad that you are going to the machine repair factory? That factory is too small, with a total of more than 30 people, and the wages and benefits can't be compared with the rolling mill."

Yan Xiecheng: "It's not a machine repair shop. I really don't need to bother you. Aunt Wang from the street office found it for me. I've already agreed to report it tomorrow morning."

Uncle: "Okay, just find a job. The boys in our yard have jobs to do. It's better than going out and fooling around every day."

"Yes, you don't have to worry about the work of the young people in our hospital. You have to worry about finding a partner."

Uncle: "It's their parents, I don't need to worry about it."

Yan Jiecheng: "If you have parents, then your parents must be worried! Isn't this a person with or without parents?"

"Look, the idiot in our yard is 25 years old, not married yet, and doesn't even have a partner, so you have to pay more attention to him, not to mention the uncle, I'm home, my parents are waiting for me What about the news?"

"Okay, you can go back." After finishing speaking, the uncle walked directly to the middle courtyard."

When I got home, I saw Lao Mo sitting on the edge of the table drinking tea and listening to the radio.

"Dad, turn up the volume of the radio, who can hear it."

"Amplify your voice a bit, no electricity! Have you passed your electrician certificate?"

Yan Jiecheng handed the small blue notebook to Lao Cai: "Look what this is!"

"Hey! You really passed the exam! You don't have to worry about work now, let your mother buy some flour tonight and let's eat dumplings."

"Eat dumplings? Meat or eggs"?Yan Jiecheng said in surprise.

"What kind of meat, eggs, our family eats stuffed cabbage, your mother makes dumplings stuffed with cabbage is a must, absolutely thin skin and big stuffing."

"Hehe! Let's cook the cabbage directly? We even saved the flour." Yan Xiecheng said speechlessly.
