Chapter 546 Luck! (Seeking monthly votes)
"What are you talking about?"

When his most prized skill, the fitter's skill, was questioned, Wu Zhi became furious: "I was planning to participate in the Level 6 worker assessment this year, and if my skills aren't up to par, I won't even pass the internal screening at the steel rolling mill!"

"Then it's over!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled, waved away his two younger brothers who were crowding around him, warning them not to eavesdrop, and then lowered his voice to say, "Have you ever seen a honeycomb briquette?"

"Of course I've seen it!"

Seeing Wu Aiguo's reaction, Wu Zhi subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "This thing has been around for a while!"

"Why is it so rare to see something so useful?"

"The honeycomb briquette factories in Beijing don't seem to be producing much!"

"Wouldn't it be popular if there was a device that could be manually made into honeycomb briquettes, and that a single person could easily use it?"

"Of course! You know what that is?"

Wu Aiguo took out a pencil and a rough sketchbook from his desk and drew the manual coal generator with a few simple strokes.

"So, how complicated is it to make this thing?"

"It's not troublesome at all!"

Looking at the drawing on the draft paper, Wu Zhi's face was full of undisguised joy: "I can make it even without a machine!"

Cow ratio!

His father's confident tone involuntarily reminded him of the people in the western Gobi Desert who painstakingly grew mushrooms by hand.

"Once the factory is up and running, it will be easy to maintain normal operations simply by relying on orders from the many residents of the neighborhood!"

Wu Aiguo said with a smile, "If you could become a factory director, then Ai Dang, Ai Jun, and Ai Hong wouldn't have to worry about their jobs!"

"You're putting me on the hot seat!"

Wu Zhi was quite tempted, but couldn't make up his mind.

"Father, you need to make a decision quickly!"

Wu Aiguo said, "Such an opportunity is rare. At least I'm working in the city. If it were in the suburbs, I wouldn't say anything more!"

Then, when it's almost time, I wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, Wu Aiguo was not affected in the slightest and still got up early to exercise in the nearest park.

Old Li from the police station was also there, and the two even put their hands together.

"With your skills, you'd be an excellent police officer at the local station. It's a pity there aren't any extra positions available for you!"

"It's alright. I recently found a way to get into a factory, but I don't know if it will work out. Let's give it a try first!"

Wu Aiguo understood the subtext of Lao Li's words.

Isn't the concern that his martial arts skills are too high and he might go astray?

I had considered it before, but I rejected it outright later.

In this day and age, it's difficult to even travel without a government job.

Of course, he wouldn't agree to be completely tied down because of work.

That's why he initially thought about living in the countryside.

With a name on the village committee and a letter of introduction, one can still travel to many places.

But yesterday, he found a better place to go.

It's not that I'm trying to deceive Lao Li, it just depends on whether my own father is willing to help.
Breakfast was a bowl of egg drop soup, plus a large vegetable bun left over from last night.

It was cooled with well water overnight, but it didn't taste bad.

After instructing his younger sister to watch the house, Wu Aiguo carried a schoolbag and headed straight for Beihai Park.

When I arrived at the place where I first went fishing, there was no one there.

I looked around again, but there was no sign of any fishermen on either side.

The nearest fisherman was at least fifty or sixty meters away.

Without saying a word, he grabbed a long stick and went into the water.

He pretended to be fishing in the water, but actually touched the slightly loose rock in the water again. To his surprise, when he quietly moved the loose rock, there was something inside.

He quietly took out the brick-sized oil paper package and put it into the schoolbag he had brought, feeling great.

He casually caught two half-pound carp and hurriedly left with his catch, much to the dismay of the other anglers who had come to fish for him.

Instead of going home, they went directly to a secluded corner of the park.

Carefully opening the package, whose outer oil paper was almost soaked through, revealed a perfectly sealed, exquisite little wooden box inside.

After spending some more time, we finally opened the small wooden box with the mechanism.

The first thing that catches the eye is two large, golden yellow croakers.

It shimmered with golden light under the sunlight.

Wu Aiguo put it into his schoolbag before picking up the few pieces of paper from under the small wooden box with the mechanism.

They are all made of very precious Xuan paper, and they have also been waterproofed.

Then, the contents inside made him look surprised.

These three formulas for replenishing qi and blood are similar to the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup.

A prescription for strengthening bones is very precious.

The last one is actually a formula for strengthening the internal organs, which is definitely a treasure, whether in today's era or in modern times.

Unfortunately, the small wooden box contained nothing but these items, and there was nothing to prove its origin.

Perhaps the answer lies in the small wooden box with its mechanism.

He put the items back into the small wooden box, feeling quite pleased with himself.

I never imagined I'd be so lucky; even just going out to fish, I encountered something like the kind of good fortune you only see in novels.

Humming a cheerful tune, I went home, and at noon I had another delicious fish soup.

In the afternoon, he had no intention of going out for a stroll.

I moved a chair and sat upright at the doorway, adopting a horse stance, listening to the conversations of the aunties and sisters-in-law who stayed behind in the tenement.

Aside from everyday family matters, the most talked-about topic was the neighborhood's plan to build a repair shop.

The reason they were discussing it so enthusiastically was because they all had the opportunity to work in the factory.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as one can become a worker, their future livelihood will be secure.

However, they knew very little about the situation and were unaware of the specific regulations for the street-run repair shop; otherwise, they would have inquired about it long ago.

Clearly, this is the neighborhood committee starting to give advance notice.

This concerns official work, so there's no room for carelessness!

When it was almost time, Wu Aiguo went to the nearest vegetable market and bought some eggplants, green beans, and a wild rabbit.

When I returned, my younger sister, Wu Aihong, was already busy.

However, the little girl kept her head down, and the atmosphere in the room was quite strange.

When Wu Aiguo saw that Zhang Li seemed a little uneasy, he didn't say much.

The clear handprint on the stepmother's face says a lot.

When he finally saw his father, he was holed up in his room smoking and sulking.

"I've made up my mind. I'll do as you said, Aiguo. I'll submit the application tomorrow!"

Upon seeing Wu Aiguo, he abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with displeasure and resentment, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Well, I guess he got a lot of trouble at the steel rolling mill.

They're all men who do manual labor, so they don't hold back when they speak. Just look at how Sha Zhu talks on TV, and you'll know that even just talking can hurt people.

"Alright!"
