Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 12 Ambition
Yu Wenzhen, who had already returned to the courtyard, had no idea that the teachers almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.

He is now preparing dinner with Lu Shuqin.

"Bumimasa, how did you do in the entrance exam?"

While kneading the dough, Lu Shuqin did not forget to care about Yu Wenzhen.

Although she knew that Yu Wenzhen's grades had always been good, all parents in the world are like this. Even though they knew the result, they still wanted to ask again and again.

"It's still the same."

Although the transcript has not been sent yet, Yu Wenzhen is still very confident about his grades.

In every monthly exam during his first year of technical secondary school, his score never dropped a point. He got full marks every time.

So what constrains him is not knowledge but the upper limit of scores on his transcript.

"Bumjeong is back."

As they were talking, Yi Zhonghai came back with a lunch box. His face was flushed and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Lu Shuqin took the time to glance at Yi Zhonghai and asked with interest, "What are you so happy about?"

Yu Wenzhen was also a little curious, as it was rare to see Yi Zhonghai in this state.

"It's nothing."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "The team leader of our workshop is about to retire, and Director Ding recommended me."

Yu Wen Zheng looked at Yi Zhonghai in surprise, with a thoughtful look on his face.

This didn't happen in the original drama.

Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter until his retirement.

Although the team leader is not a cadre position, he is still an official of some kind, and receives a subsidy of five yuan a month.

Yi Zhonghai was only promoted to level eight last year.

Lu Shuqin said in surprise: "That's a good thing."

"It's not even a decision yet. It's just a recommendation. The final decision will be made by the factory leaders."

Yi Zhonghai was modest in words, but he was still somewhat proud in his heart.

There are only two senior workers in this hospital, one is Yi Zhonghai and the other is Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong has always been obsessed with being an official.

If Liu Haizhong knew about this, he would be jealous to death.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt very comfortable.

Let your bangs just think about replacing me, your uncle.

Now that's good, I became an official before you, you will be jealous of me in the future.

Yu Wenzhen thought about it and made a rough guess.

He thought it was probably because of his relationship. When he went to the steel mill, many people knew about his relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

Among them was Ding Shigui from the first fitter workshop.

I guess someone else was recommended in the original book.

But now that there is Yu Wenzhen, a potential stock, Ding Shigui cannot turn a blind eye to it. He is probably just doing him a favor.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's happy expression, Yu Wenzhen didn't intend to say anything.

It’s still early now, it’s only 1962.

Moreover, team leader is just a title, not a rank, so he is not an official and is still a member of the working class.

Therefore, even if a storm comes in the future, Yi Zhonghai will be fine. At most, he will lose his position as team leader.

However, since Yi Zhonghai is still relatively young, Yu Wenzhen feels it is necessary to remind him so that he can make progress.

"Uncle, I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Wenzheng put down his work and walked over to sit opposite Yi Zhonghai.

It was rare to see Yu Wenzhen so serious, so Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but adjust his attitude and pretend to listen.

"Have you ever thought about further upgrading your job level?"

Yu Wenzhen's first words were a powerful blow.

You can tell from the expression of Yi Zhonghai on the opposite side that he is obviously shocked.

Does Yi Zhonghai want to be promoted to a higher level?
Of course I do, even in my wildest dreams.

But the tenth-level technician exam is too difficult, and there are too many things to master, including blueprint reading, drawing, machine maintenance, inspection, etc.

He currently has no problem reading blueprints, but he has not learned anything else. It’s not that he doesn’t want to learn, but that he doesn’t have the way.

Yi Zhonghai deliberately asked hurriedly, "Wen Zheng, do you have a solution?"

"Uncle, the reason why you can't be promoted to a higher level must be because of your limited knowledge, right?"

Although Yu Wenzhen was asking questions, his tone was very affirmative.

After spending such a long time together, Yu Wenzhen has almost figured out what kind of person Yi Zhonghai is.

He seems to be a peaceful and nice person, but he is also ambitious.

If there hadn't been some restrictions, he would have seized the opportunity to move up.

"You're right."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and nodded.

"Okay then. I'll go out."

Yu Wenzhen stood up and walked out the door, leaving Yi Zhonghai stunned.

Didn’t you say there was a solution? Why did you leave?
Fortunately, Yu Wenzhen didn't make him wait too long, otherwise he would have been anxious.

"You must learn these books during my two months of summer vacation."

Yu Wenzhen placed several books in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then he spread out a few books and took a look.

"Basics of Mechanical Maintenance", "Introduction to Mechanical Maintenance", "Principles of Mechanics"...

There are five books in total, all related to machinery, from entry to maintenance. If Yi Zhonghai can finish reading all of them, he will be able to pass the 13th-level technician exam easily.

"This……"

Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed.

He has no problem reading books, the key is how to understand them. It is useless to just memorize mechanics.

"Don't worry. I'm here for you."

Yu Wenzheng grinned and said, "I will be your teacher for the next two months."

"OK."

Yi Zhonghai burst into laughter and said, "Then I, as a student, will have to trouble you, the teacher."

Yi Zhonghai is actually not old-fashioned, but rather very open-minded. Of course, this also depends on who he is talking to.

If it was Shazhu, Jia Dongxu, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

From today on, Yi Zhonghai’s learning journey began.

Siheyuan, Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai’s study task started the day after Yu Wenzhen went on vacation.

However, Yi Zhonghai has relatively little time. He only has time after get off work and on holidays. Except for Sundays, he basically starts studying after dinner every day.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai's memory was still pretty good. Plus, he knew that Yu Wenzhen only had two months of vacation, so he studied very hard.

It has been almost half a month since the summer vacation, and Yi Zhonghai's learning progress is still remarkable.

Yu Wenzhen would occasionally test him on questions from the knowledge he had taught, and Yi Zhonghai would always answer them very well.

It can be said that he is worthy of being the youngest eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. His brain is much better than that fool in Liu Haizhong.

According to his current learning progress, it is estimated that Yi Zhonghai will be able to finish learning the books brought back by Yu Wenzhen before the entire vacation.

It is said that the steel mill's semiannual promotion assessment is approaching. Yi Zhonghai's hard work in studying may be related to this matter.

It is worth mentioning that just a week ago, the promotion of Yi Zhonghai to production team leader was finalized, and the factory even made a special announcement about it.

Yu Wenzhen still remembers clearly today the dark face of Liu Haizhong when he came home from get off work that day.

The noise coming from the backyard that day was particularly intense. I heard that the two brothers of the Liu family were beaten badly.

However, beating children has become a normal thing for the Liu family, and people in the courtyard have long been too lazy to care about it.

Only a deaf old lady would sigh: Parents are unkind and children are unfilial.
