The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 85 Two Tables

"Your statement is quite ambiguous." Liu Hua said with great joy: "Who told you that I failed?"

"You didn't fail? Then why did you come out just now?" Li Huaide asked in confusion, "The last person to come out was half an hour earlier than you."

"I didn't expect them to put me last in line. When I went in, I found that my grandparents were there." Liu Hua said cheerfully, "After I went in, they asked me a lot of questions, and they got more and more in-depth. By the end, I didn't dare to answer them."

"Why? You must give a good answer. The higher your rank, the more honor our steel mill will have."

Liu Hua took out another pack of cigarettes from Li Huaide's pocket, lit one, and put the rest in his own pocket.

After taking a sip, he smiled and said, "You haven't thought about that. If my level is too high, do you think our steel mill can still be kept?"

Li Huaide slapped his head and said with sudden realization: "Hua Zi, you are really smart. If you were ranked higher, you would definitely be transferred to a research institute or university. However, it may not be a bad thing for you to go there."

"I can't be as free as I am in the steel mill when I go to those places. I can study whatever I want." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Whatever I want to study, you can agree unconditionally. I dare to be so presumptuous in other places. You will protect me in other places."

Oh, these words made Li Huaide feel warm in his heart. This child is so kind and righteous. His work was not in vain. The child remembered everything.

"Come on, come on, I'll treat you today." Li Huaide waved his hand happily: "Let's eat outside today, try something new, not Sha Zhu's old stuff."

As the driver started the car, Li Huaide suddenly remembered, "I haven't asked you yet, are you a level nine engineer? They are too rigid in their work. I think with your current level, level five or six shouldn't be a problem."

"You're flattering me. It's not that high. The engineer from the assessment team said that my level is good enough to be rated as a level 7 engineer."

Li Huaide knocked his thigh excitedly. Of course, it would be even more perfect if he knocked his own thigh. He didn't expect that this guy's physical fitness had not deteriorated after so many years since he came down from the battlefield, and he still had so much strength.

Liu Hua moved his legs away without leaving a trace, causing Li Huaide to miss and almost sprain his waist.

"But my grandparents rejected it." Liu Hua said with a smile: "My grandfather said that I am too impatient and need to calm down, so I will be rated as level eight for now."

"Who is this? Why is he so nosy?"

Li Huaide complained casually, but he immediately realized that the ones who seemed to be meddling in other people's business seemed to be Liu Hua's grandparents, so as a junior, he should not criticize them casually.

"Did your grandparents say no?" Li Huaide said in disbelief, "It seems that the two old people are really strict with you. Just listen to them. You should settle down in our factory. As long as I am in the steel mill, you will have the opportunity to show your talents."

The Hongbin Restaurant that Li Huaide invited to dinner was the same restaurant that Bai Zhanyuan wanted to invite his grandfather to. Bai Zhanyuan didn't get to try the Yanbaosan Dan, but Liu Hua did. There were also braised oxtail, casserole lamb head, and it was like honey.

Li Huaide personally sent Liu Hua back to the courtyard, and said hello before leaving: "You have been very busy preparing for the exam recently, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few days."

Liu Hua felt embarrassed when he said this. How could he be so busy that he didn't even have time to sharpen his sword before the exam? The day before the exam, he even drank two liang of wine with Sha Zhu.

"No need." Liu Hua was embarrassed to interrupt and said, "I will go to work as usual tomorrow. I just passed the engineer exam and I'm taking a break. People think I'm proud." "That's fine." Li Huaide nodded, "This won't affect your progress."

Yan Fugui saw Liu Hua getting off the jeep from a distance. Yan Fugui always had a sharp eye for such movements involving interests.

When Liu Hua entered the room, Yan Fugui said with a smile: "Hua Zi, aren't you going to take an exam today? How did you do?"

"No problem." Liu Hua said cheerfully, "This is not something that can be easily controlled."

"You really passed the exam." Yan Fugui said in surprise, "Then you can be considered a senior intellectual in our hospital. You're the first one. When Liu Haizhong's son passed the technical secondary school, he was so proud of it. Technical secondary school graduates who just joined the factory were only level 16 technicians, but you've become an engineer in just one year."

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth." Liu Hua said with a smile: "It's all because of the good training we received from the factory."

"You don't set up two tables for such a big wedding."

Liu Hua said jokingly: "Uncle San, you always set up two tables. I've never seen you set up two tables. Don't always think about having a feast. This is a bad habit. Revolution has never been about treating people to a meal."

Watching Liu Hua leave, Yan Fugui curled his lips and said, "You're still trying to teach me a lesson. I think you're even more stingy than me. Your salary is over 100 yuan, but you still don't spend a penny."

Since it was only a temporary verbal agreement from the examiner and there was no formal written notification, Li Huaide did not announce on the loudspeaker that Liu Hua had passed the engineer exam.

But once he got to work, people from the entire office, including the process office next door, came to inquire about him, and Liu Hua naturally had to show off.

Some people were genuinely happy for Liu Hua, while others felt jealous. This was human nature, and Liu Hua didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Anyway, Liu Hua gave candy to everyone who came. This is a custom, commonly known as sharing the good luck.

The steel rolling mill is not without engineers, but they belong to the process office. They are assigned here after college graduation. Those who passed the exam two years ago are still level nine engineers.

So at that time, the Equipment Office was always considered inferior to the Process Office, and the factory mainly produced spare parts, so it did not need very capable mechanical equipment engineers.

Now with Liu Hua, the equipment office suddenly felt proud, especially since Liu Hua was assigned as an eighth-level engineer. This was like the east wind overwhelming the west wind.

Li Huaide should be the happiest person. He came over three or four times in the morning, without saying anything, just looking at Liu Hua with a smile.

Although Liu Hua was able to become an engineer, mostly due to his own strength, Liu Hua became an engineer after working in the steel mill. No matter what, he said that it was the steel mill that trained him, and it was Li Huaide who trained him after he became the factory director, so the credit can be attributed to him.

Liu Hua looked at Li Huaide, who was laughing foolishly, speechlessly: "Uncle Li, if you really have nothing to do, why don't you go to the workshop and take a look? If you keep staring at me like this, others will think you have a problem with me."
