Chapter 53 Level 1 Fitter
"Old Ding, I gave you a dollar this morning, and you didn't do any work, but you gave me fifty cents."
Jia Zhang stretched out her hand to ask for it.
"Ah? Didn't we agree on one dollar? Why are you asking for it back?"
Old Ding was startled.
"You just took my Dongxu to the security department and back to the hospital this morning. Did you contribute?"
"You didn't do anything, but you got one dollar. Don't you feel guilty?"
Jia Zhang shouted loudly.
Old Ding pursed his lips, feeling very reluctant, but still took out fifty cents in loose change from his pocket.
Jia Zhang grabbed it and put it in her pocket: "Okay, go and get busy."
Old Ding left in a depressed mood, and went out pulling a cart to continue looking for work.
Jia Zhang pulled a chair over and sat next to Jia Dongxu. Her nose felt sore when she thought about not having her son to support her in the future.
Apart from the few hundred cold dollars in her pocket, Jia Zhang felt that her life was meaningless and she was very confused.
The fragrance emanating from the Chen family's house brought Jia Zhang back from her trance.
She sniffed and thick saliva came out of her mouth.
So fragrant.
The food cooked by this little beast is so delicious. Why doesn’t Qin Huairu have such good cooking skills?
Jia Zhang immediately stood up and walked back home: "Qin Huairu, what are we eating today?"
"Mom, today we're going to have steamed buns made from two-grain flour, corn paste, and rice porridge."
"As for the dishes, there are spicy cabbage and shredded potatoes with vinegar."
Qin Huairu replied.
"Eating vegetarian food every day makes your mouth taste bland. Look at the Chen family, they eat meat every day."
"How is our family inferior to the Chen family? Why don't you learn from the Chen family?"
Jia Zhang looked very disappointed.
"Mom, you have to give me money."
"We only have eight dollars a month for food, so we can't afford to eat all kinds of delicious food."
"Mom, please give me fifty yuan from the compensation that the factory gives to Dongxu, so that I can have more money to buy groceries."
Qin Huairu complained.
"Useless stuff, that's the money my son risked his life for."
"No one can touch it. I want to save it for my old age. No, I want to save that money for Bang Geng's marriage in the future."
Jia Zhang's face changed drastically and she scolded angrily.
"Mom, what are we going to do with our food, clothing and daily expenses in the future?"
Qin Huairu's expression remained unchanged.
"Tomorrow we will go to work at the steel mill. We will get paid next month. It's still eight dollars a month for daily expenses, so we can't do without you."
Jia Zhang groaned.
"Okay, Mom, whatever you say is what I'll do."
Qin Huairu nodded and agreed.
Jia Zhang went out, stood at the door and sniffed a few times, feeling itchy in her heart.
You little beast, you eat meat and fish every day, let’s see how long you can finish eating.
Maybe he won’t live for many days, so he goes down to keep Dongxu company.
When someone from the Chen family died, the factory only paid 300 yuan in compensation, but my Dongxu paid a lot...
After cursing inwardly for a while, and thinking of the large pension her family had received, Jia Zhang felt a little relieved and went home to eat.
At noon, Chen Jianye went to work as usual.
"Everyone, listen to me."
Wang Lifa raised his hands high with a smile on his face.
People are happy when they are happy.
He got the information that the security department had already reached an agreement with the Jia family and that the Jia family would no longer block the door and cause trouble.
This is one of them.
The second is that the vacancies for successful promotion of fitters in the job transfer examination have been announced, and several fitters in a workshop have successfully advanced.
As a team leader, Wang Lifa was proud of himself.
Everyone gathered around Wang Lifa.
"In this machinist grade exam, several people in our class performed excellently."
"Comrade Chen Jianye, Zhao..."
Wang Lifa called out the names of the four people and paused for a moment before saying, "Congratulations, you have been promoted."
"Thank you monitor."
"Thank you masters."
The four people whose names were called showed excitement on their faces and expressed their gratitude one after another.
When a fitter is promoted to the next level, his salary increases by five to seven yuan.
The difference between the annual salary of an intern and a first-level fitter is RMB 60.
Sixty dollars can buy a lot of supplies, enough to feed a child.
For ordinary people, being able to get a promotion to a higher job level is something worth celebrating.
Other workers in the team also congratulated the four people who were promoted.
Chen Jianye hardly interacted with other workers in the team, and only a few people congratulated him.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Chen Jianye deeply, feeling deeply moved.
At that time, Jia Dongxu worked as a trainee fitter for three years. It was under his encouragement that he was able to transfer to a first-level worker with great difficulty.
Chen Jianye had only been in the job for ten days, but he was able to transfer smoothly without any help from anyone.
Yi Zhonghai can only say that the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs.
Now that Jia Dongxu is dead, his retirement plan has been disrupted, but Chen Jianye is a good candidate.
pity......
Faced with Chen Jianye, who had attempted to kill him before, Yi Zhonghai was really worried about letting him take care of him in his old age.
And it’s a big problem that Chen Jianye has a brain problem.
Maybe it will happen someday.
"It would be great if Chen Jianye was not ill and had no grudge against me."
Yi Zhonghai felt a little regretful. If he had known that Chen Tuntian was dead, he should not have done such a radical thing.
In this way, Chen Jianye would not pick up a knife to chop himself, and naturally he would not be hit in the brain by Sha Zhu.
When Chen Jianye comes to the factory to take over the job, he will definitely become his apprentice.
In this way, even if Jia Dongxu died, Yi Zhonghai could still train Chen Jianye to take care of him in his old age.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai sighed. There are some things that cannot be regretted.
"Everyone, work hard and improve your skills. I have told you many times that work is never in vain."
"I hope everyone can be promoted to a higher position. It would be best if our team could produce a few skilled fitters like Master Yi. Then I can rest assured."
"..."
Wang Lifa delivered a speech, encouraging everyone to work hard and hone their skills solidly.
The meeting was then adjourned, allowing everyone to return to their posts and work hard.
"Squad leader, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Chen Jianye followed Wang Lifa's footsteps and whispered.
"Let's hurry up next time."
"Jia Dongxu's matter has just been resolved, and my boss is disgusted with me in every way. It would be inappropriate for me to go drinking with you again."
Wang Lifa said sincerely.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll treat you next time."
"We agreed."
Chen Jianye did not force it.
"It's all right."
Wang Lifa raised his eyebrows.
Chen Jianye returned to his post and continued working.
He really wasn't too curious about how much money the Jia family would take from the factory as a result of the trouble.
It has nothing to do with him.
The Jia family can get more money because they are capable.
Chen Jianye just wants to upgrade.
In the afternoon, before the bell rang for the end of get off work, Hu Nanpeng came to check the parts again.
Chen Jianye took off his labor protection equipment and cleaned his workstation.
"Jianye, I really admire you."
"Jia Dongxu left, and everyone was talking, but you didn't interrupt and just kept working."
"You will at least be a level 6 fitter in the future."
Hu Nanpeng checked the parts while chatting with Chen Jianye.
"Uncle Hu, I'll take your good words and treat you to a meal if I become a level 6 fitter in the future."
Chen Jianye smiled.
"Of course I will. A level 6 fitter is a high-level skilled worker. I must treat him to a meal."
Hu Nanpeng followed up with what was said.
"Uncle Hu, are level 3, level 6, and level 9 workers different from the other levels?"
Chen Jianye suddenly remembered the message broadcast by the system in the morning, that the lottery can only be started when the skills reach level three or multiples of level three.
Level six is exactly a multiple of level three. Could there be a connection between them?
"That's certainly different."
"Intern fitters to level 2 workers are considered entry-level workers, level 3 to level 5 are intermediate workers, and level 6 to level 8 are senior workers."
"There is only one level eight fitter in our team, Lao Yi. The next level up is assistant engineer, or level nine, which is another path."
"But Lao Yi is old and slow to learn. His life is coming to an end."
Hu Nanpeng said casually.
These are the basics.
"So that's how it is. There is indeed a saying about level three, level six, and level nine."
Chen Jianye nodded.
Hu Nanpeng chatted with Chen Jianye for a while, waited for the bell to ring, and left on time.
All the old hands are like this, they run away as soon as they get off work and don't work for even a minute longer.
