"Dongxu! You're finally back!"

"Tell Mom quickly, have you secured your Level 3 machinist's certificate?"

Jia Dongxu was almost staggered by her!

With a look of discomfort on his face, he said, "Mom, please keep your voice down... I did pass the test this time, but I'm only a third-level worker. It's not worth making such a fuss."

"What? A level three worker isn't worth it?"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened.

He almost poked his son's forehead with his finger: "You are already a third-level worker now. If you work hard and strive to become a seventh or eighth-level worker like your master, then we won't have to worry about a good life."

she said.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, turned around and walked out, "No, we have to celebrate! I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few pounds of meat. We'll make dumplings tonight!"

"Mom! Don't go,"

Jia Dongxu quickly grabbed her and said, "Master...he didn't pass the eighth-level worker exam this time. It's inappropriate for us to celebrate like this."

Jia Zhangshi didn't care:

"If he failed the exam, it's his business. If you passed, it's your ability. Does that mean that just because he failed, we ordinary people can't live a good life?"

The words fell.

She shook off Jia Dongxu's hand and walked out of the yard proudly.

Meet the people in the yard.

I, Jia Dongxu, have passed the exam and from now on, I am a third-level fitter!

……

……

Different from the Jia family.

At the other end of the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's house seemed to be shrouded in a dark cloud.

Yi Zhonghai sat on the edge of the kang without saying a word.

An old lady came in with some freshly steamed steamed buns. When she saw him like this, her heart skipped a beat.

It was fine when I left home this morning.

How come you look like this when you get home from get off work?

She put the plate down.

He asked tentatively, "Zhong Hai, are the test results out? How are you...?"

Yi Zhonghai took a deep puff of his cigarette.

The voice seemed to be squeezed out from the throat: "Failed!"

“Didn’t…didn’t pass the exam?”

Big Mom was stunned.

She knew how many years Yi Zhonghai had been waiting for this eighth-level job, and this morning he had vowed to come back and celebrate in the evening.

How come you didn’t pass the exam?

"Is there something wrong? Or..."

"Nothing's wrong!" Yi Zhonghai interrupted her, his tone filled with frustration: "I just didn't pass the exam."

"Not only did he fail, but Lao Liu actually passed the seventh level this time!"

"His second uncle?"

The old lady finally realized, "Wasn't he level six before? And now he's level seven? Doesn't that mean he's on the same level as you?"

She sighed.

"It seems that the Liu family in the backyard is really shaking this time."

"Not only did Old Liu pass the Level 7 exam himself, but his son Guangqi also got a job as a cadre in the Ministry of Machine Building..."

however.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face became even darker, and he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart.

"Okay, stop talking!" Yi Zhonghai shouted in a muffled voice.

The old lady was frightened by his roar!

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's face turn pale, she didn't dare to say anything. She just sat down silently and picked up the needlework, but she couldn't thread the needle into the thread.

……

……

now.

However, the scene at Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard was quite different.

Second Aunt was busy in front of the stove with an apron on. The eggs in the pot were sizzling and the aroma of eggs instantly filled the house.

Obviously.

The smile on her face never stopped.

"Boss, please try it. I put two extra eggs in this dish today. Doesn't it smell good?"

Second Aunt carried the plate and put it on the table.

The smile in his eyes could be seen overflowing: "I knew you could definitely pass the seventh level!"

Liu Haizhong sat at the table.

He took a sip from the wine glass, his face flushed.

He picked up an egg with chopsticks and chewed it slowly, feeling so relaxed in his heart.

"Mother, let me tell you..."

"Guangqi really got it right this time!" Liu Haizhong put down his chopsticks and couldn't help laughing: "Old Yi really didn't pass the exam this time."

"I'm now at the seventh level, just like him. In the future, I'll be working in the factory or in the hospital..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

But the light in his eyes was very bright.

In this courtyard, Yi Zhonghai has been the boss for so many years, and he has the final say in everything. As the second uncle, I always seem to be a head shorter than him.

It’s better now!

In terms of rank, the two are equal;

As for sons, Yi Zhonghai had none, but his own son worked in the Ministry of Machine Building.

How can we compare this?

Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Second Aunt smiled and picked up some food for him: "In the past, when there was something going on in the courtyard, it was always Old Yi who made the decisions. From now on, it will be your turn to have your say."

Liu Haizhong chuckled and took another sip of wine.

I just felt very bright in my heart.

It seemed as if he had already seen that the next time the courtyard held a meeting, Yi Zhonghai would sit next to him and listen to his orders.

……

……

Compared to the bustle of the middle courtyard and the backyard!

This side of the front yard.

Yan Bugui was not a worker at the steel mill, so he had no say in the gossip about the grading exams and was not interested in it.

I just moved a stool!

Sitting in the shade in front of the door, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

But his eyes never left the piece of fat and lean pork in Jia Zhang's hand.

Wow, there is so much money.

He was thinking to himself, this old woman from the Jia family is a notoriously stingy person, why is she investing so much money today?

"Hey! What's the good day today?"

Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the few people in the yard to hear.

"Sister Jia is willing to cut such a big piece of meat?"

These words hit the mark exactly what Jia Zhang was thinking.

next moment.

Jia Zhang's triumphant voice followed, "That's right, this is a full four pounds of meat!"

"Look, today my Dongxu passed the third-level worker exam..."

"We have to celebrate anyway."

The last word.

Jia Zhang raised her chin and glanced at everyone in the yard.

The words were full of unconcealable arrogance:

"Look, in our courtyard, count one by one, is there any young person with more promising prospects than our Dongxu?"

Before he finished speaking, a loud voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Aunt Jia, it's too early for you to say that!"

Sha Zhu is tall and strong.
