The stupid pillar stepped on the dirt under his feet and still had some movement, but Jia Dongxu was like a dead man, sitting there in a daze, not talking or moving.

Obviously, this assessment has not passed.

How many times?

He couldn't even remember it himself.

Anyway, every time I take the assessment, every time I hang, every time I hang up, every time I take the test again.

Now, the second-level assessment has become his nightmare and a threshold that he can't overcome.

Thinking of the old lady and wife who were eagerly awaited by the family, thinking of the eldest son who couldn't eat well, thinking of the child in his daughter-in-law's womb, the pressure of life, and the grief and indignation of disappointment, made him cry tears of hatred.

"Why can't you get by?"

"Why did it fail?"

"Why me?"

A series of riddles and doubts spit out from Jia Dongxu's mouth, and the resentful stupid pillar next to him was also speechless when he heard it.

He has the ability but no chance, but Jia Dongxu has the opportunity but no ability.

The situation of the two is not at all the same.

To be honest, Silly Zhu looks down on Jia Dongxu.

There is an uncle behind him, a master, who has not been admitted to the second level in the past few years, and it is a shame to say it.

However, he was a little jealous of Jia Dongxu, such a guy with no ability, he actually married Qin Huairu and had children, really, the sky has no eyes.

Silly Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu's appearance and didn't want to speak.

Now, the two are brothers.

Yi Zhonghai was also uncomfortable, and neither of the two candidates was worry-free.

Looking at the appearance of the two brothers, Yi Zhonghai had the heart to say a few words, but he didn't know what to say.

Look at the stupid pillar, spare tire, forget it.

Looking at Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai's eyes were full of disappointment.

I really don't know why I chose such a thing in the first place, and I can't even hold the workpiece steadily during the assessment, really, waste.

Just thinking about what happened after me, the words that were about to be scolded were swallowed alive.

No matter what, he Yi Zhonghai has to count on this apprentice.

Just when Yi Zhonghai adjusted his mood and prepared to comfort Jia Dongxu and Silly Zhu, the factory's radio rang out at the right time, attracting the attention of the three of them.

"Comrades workers, please note that the following is a list of those who have been successfully promoted in this assessment."

"One workshop ......"

The three of them listened, and Jia Dongxu felt uncomfortable when he heard these familiar names on weekdays.

Silly Zhu also lowered his head and didn't want to listen.

Yi Zhonghai listened carefully, and he also wanted to know about this assessment.

Soon the announcer said the third workshop in order, and Yi Zhonghai looked serious.

"Congratulations to Comrade Yang Xiaotao of the third workshop, who was successfully promoted to the fourth-level fitter, congratulations."

"Congratulations to the ...... of the third workshop"

A simple sentence made the three of them fall into an ice cave, and there was no comfort in their bodies.

Jia Dongxu's eyes were even redder, and anger and jealousy devoured him.

Thinking that Yang Xiaotao surpassed him step by step, and opened the distance step by step, the other party was already a fourth-level fitter, with a salary of 48.5 per month, and a workshop subsidy of 5 yuan, which was much stronger than him, a first-level fitter.

Even Jia Dongxu can imagine how moisturizing Yang Xiaotao's life will be in this courtyard in the future.

And he, Jia Dongxu, as a foil, is as embarrassed as he is in front of everyone in the compound.

With his understanding of the people in the courtyard, he will definitely compare himself with Yang Xiaotao, and then sigh again that his daughter-in-law is blind.

Jia Dongxu clenched his fists, Qin Huairu's disappointed face appeared in his mind, and his heart ached.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Yang Xiaotao's announcement, he could only sigh secretly.

One wrong step, one wrong step, no regret.

Get up right now, "Let's go, let's eat!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards the restaurant.

People are iron, and rice is steel.

Jia Dongxu touched his stomach and became even hungrier.

I didn't pass the assessment because I couldn't eat enough.

Jia Dongxu recovered a little expression, found the reason for the failure of the assessment, and then habitually blamed Yang Xiaotao.

If it weren't for the fact that he ate so well in the yard all day long, he couldn't eat at home, and he couldn't pass the test today?

"Yes, it's all damn Yang Xiaotao."

"If this guy is in the courtyard for a day, he will be a scourge for a day."

Jia Dongxu scolded in his heart, but he also understood that it was okay to fool his wife for this reason, after all, his mother hated Yang Xiaotao deeply.

But if you want to fool Qin Huairu, it will be difficult.

"By the way, last night's incident, I'm so tired."

"That's it!"

Jia Dongxu thought of an excuse to get the best of both worlds and hide his incompetence.

There was also a smile on his face, and he quickly followed Yi Zhonghai to the cafeteria.

Silly Zhu watched the two of them walk away, and also got up and spit.

That's it, it's useless to complain, you can only wait for the next time.

Take eight steps back to the kitchen and prepare to cook.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao, Wang Fa and others were lining up and preparing to eat.

The sound of the radio continued, and everyone who knew each other congratulated Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao was also polite.

At the age of twenty, he became a fourth-class fitter, not only the youngest fourth-level worker, but also the fastest promoted fitter since the establishment of the rolling mill.

It's not lucky to be able to pass every assessment, except for the real thing, no one dares to doubt anything else.

Moreover, this is still in the case of increased difficulty in the assessment.

Some people are jealous in their hearts, and naturally some people admire capable people.

Yang Xiaotao's ability is worthy of their admiration.

When he came to the window, Yang Xiaotao looked at Silly Zhu with a listless look, and he didn't even shake the rice spoon, obviously not in the mood to work here.

"Two meat dishes! Two steamed buns! ”

Yang Xiaotao handed over the lunch box and put the meal ticket in front of him at the same time.

Silly Zhu came back to his senses and looked at Yang Xiaotao, his face was a little unnatural.

Yang Xiaotao passed the four-level assessment, and the salary level must have increased again, but he is still standing still, and the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

hum

Silly Zhu snorted coldly, what is the spirit, isn't it a fourth-level worker!

Lao Tzu went out to make a banquet and earned it back.

Silly Zhu thought in his heart, his arm also returned to his previous feeling, and he scooped it down with a spoon, thinking in his heart for a while, all the meat will be shaken off for you, and see what you can do!

Just when Silly Zhu scooped up a spoonful full of slices of meat and was about to perform the Dafa of shaking the spoon, the baritone who was tired of hearing on the radio suddenly changed his tone.

"This broadcast has been completed, now please ask the leaders of the rolling mill, Director Yang to speak to everyone!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the broadcast was over, and now it seemed that the director of the rolling mill was going to speak.

At this time, the leaders of the rolling mill who came out of the conference room had a solemn face and walked towards the place where the workers lived.

Even Wang Guodong lost his excitement, compared with the content of the meeting, the little thing in their workshop can only be regarded as a minutiae.

However, when I think of the resolution just now, I am still very glad in my heart.

At least compared to other workshops, their three workshops are much luckier.

"Comrades workers of the rolling mill! I am Yang Youning, the factory director. ”

Yang Youning's voice instantly spread throughout the entire rolling mill, and everyone stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen.

On weekdays, the factory director does not broadcast, but once the whole plant broadcasts, something must have happened.

Just like a few years ago, when the enemy was rampant, of course, the old director of the rolling mill made a speech on the radio, took the security section and key personnel to inspect the factory at night, and participated in training from time to time.

At that time, even anti-aircraft guns were placed upstairs, and the guards at the door were always holding guns, looking at everyone fiercely.

Some old people thought of the people's division established a while ago, and wondered if they would have to deal with the enemy again.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the employees who passed the assessment today. Congratulations on your contributions to the construction of the motherland. ”

"Secondly, I would like to tell you the news, that is, this assessment is the last assessment of the year."

After Yang Youning finished speaking, the person who was still thinking about the next assessment suddenly felt a heavy mood and some regret at the same time.

Especially Silly Zhu, thinking that this year is like this, Sensei Duo is uncomfortable.

However, without waiting for everyone to react, Yang Youning continued.

"Finally, I declare a supreme directive!"

Yang Youning's words were unhappy, and even a little heavy, and everyone's hearts hung again.

"In accordance with the supreme directive, the country and the nation are facing the current grim situation, imperialism will not die, and the reactionary class will be rampant and destroy the fruits of the revolution,......"

Yang Youning spoke slowly, and the more people in the rolling mill listened, the more frightened they became.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the window with the lunch box, the stupid rice spoon slowly fell, and a whole spoonful of meat was put into the lunch box, but he himself didn't notice it.

The whole restaurant is like this, no one dares to speak, no one dares to move, they are all listening to what is going on.

Soon, Director Yang said the key point, with difficulties, difficulties, and righteousness in front of the foreshadowing, everyone in the rolling mill has been psychologically prepared for the worst.

"Instructed by the supreme and instructed by the superior leaders, for the better construction of the country, for the sake of ensuring the normal progress of the people's lives, and for the dignity of the country.

From today, the wages and benefits of all workers and cadres will be reduced by one-third, and factory benefits will be abolished.

I hope that all the working class will carry forward the style of hard work and simplicity, carry forward the revolutionary style, and firmly and resolutely win this battle without the smoke of gunpowder! ”

At the end of the broadcast, everyone only understood one thing, and the future salary shrank.

That's money!

It was quiet, and the silence was terrible.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the changes on the faces of the people around him, and felt a little hairy in his heart.

If this had been in the previous life, the factory had dared to make this decision, and it was estimated that it would have exploded on the spot.

Not to mention a lot of resignations, the resentment that erupted was enough for the factory.

But now, after Yang Xiaotao looked around, although the scene was a little heavy, no one spoke.

"Down with imperialism and defend the fruits of the revolution!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the restaurant, and Yang Xiaotao could hear that it was Wang Guodong's voice.

"For the sake of New China, down with the reactionaries!"

This is the voice of Wang Fa.

"For the sake of New China, down with the reactionaries!"

It was the sound of a crowd of people shouting.

In an instant, the whole restaurant was boiling.

Those who have come through the years of hard war cherish the present peace even more.

Even if you eat less and use less, you are willing to support the country.

Soon, the sound spread throughout the rolling mill, full of passionate workers, everywhere people shouting slogans.

Yang Xiaotao only felt that his heart was filled with emotion, this feeling he had never had in his previous life, let alone thought about it.

At that time, people were for personal gain, and the most attractive thing at that time was money.

And in this era, above personal interests, people also care about national interests.

At this time, the most attractive thing is dignity.

"Down with the reactionaries, down with the paper tigers!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his fist and shouted loudly.

In the kitchen, a fiery scene is also unfolding.

It wasn't until the enthusiasm wore off that the crowd continued to eat.

Yang Xiaotao also took back the lunch box, just looking at the box of meat, and then looked at the stupid pillar a little strangely.

Silly Zhu also found out that something was wrong, and puffed out cold air with his teeth.

"It's cheap!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and returned to his seat to eat.

Although the salary was reduced, there was no complaint, let alone opposition.

Some of the old people told about the hard years of those years, and some of the young people listened with righteous indignation.

They don't have too many ideas, they don't have too much utilitarianism, they are more worried about national construction, they are discussing the future, and they are determined to defend the present life.
