Wei Ping'an passed the fitter assessment and was promoted to a first-class fitter, which was an absolute accident.

Jia Dongxu's failure in the second-level fitter assessment is already the norm.

I took the exam three times in two years, and I failed the list every time.

Jia Dongxu drooped his head and followed his master Yi Zhonghai into the courtyard.

Only in this courtyard is he dignified.

There is a most beautiful woman in the courtyard as a daughter-in-law, which is the pride of Jia Dongxu with his own efforts.

Originally, he was also a step ahead of Wei Ping'an in terms of work skill level, but now although the level is the same, when it comes to family happiness, Jia Dongxu thinks that he is far superior to Wei Ping'an.

If you sleep on a cool kang alone, how can there be a beautiful woman to warm the quilt and be happy.

The neighborhood was busy with dinner.

The old men in the family have worked hard all day, go home to eat something hot, and rest well before they can continue to work hard for the family the next day.

When Wei Ping'an came back with half a bag of stick noodles, a group of people gathered in the open space in the front yard.

After work, he stopped by the grain station to buy grain, and used up the only remaining share of the month.

Fortunately, I am about to be paid, and I will only last for another three or five days.

Li Weidong, an officer of the neighborhood office, and a police officer are dealing with a dispute in the yard.

The courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, and each courtyard has a faucet, and the faucet in the front yard is next to the steps on the west side of the hall.

The street office came to collect the water bill today, and the middle and back yards were all collected a few days ago, leaving only the front yard.

Unexpectedly, there was a conflict in the front yard today because of the water problem.

The south household of the east wing house lives a middle-aged family surnamed Wang, this month because of work, the whole family went to the field, and only came back in the past two days.

It's the equivalent of not being at home and not using water for a whole month.

The courtyard houses are usually distributed to each household according to the total amount, and this month happens to use more water, and the cost is the highest this year.

Wang Haixing's family was not happy.

And Yan Bugui, the three great masters who came back from work, must fight with reason.

After all, with his calculated character, if the Wang family takes one less, he Yan Bugui will have to take a little more.

Three-and-a-half cents is also money, and if he can't calculate it, he will be poor, and he will definitely not be able to approve his wishes.

As soon as this opening is opened, and there are imitators, there will be endless troubles.

So, the dispute was too intense, and on the spur of the moment, the three mothers and Wang Haixing started to fight.

If you put it aside as usual, Yi Zhonghai and Bangs will come forward and solve it internally.

But today, guarding the street office, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong failed to show up in time, and they easily called the police to coordinate and deal with it.

According to the saying of this era, today is a shame for the courtyard.

Wei Ping'an didn't care, he stopped and listened to it and prepared to go home.

As soon as he wanted to leave, he heard Jia Zhang, who was watching the excitement, complaining: "Alas, our middle courtyard is the same...... That little rabbit cub uses water every day, and we don't recognize it, it's all neighbors......"

Who in the entire courtyard didn't know that Jia Zhang's family couldn't finish washing clothes all day, and there was a face to say that Wei Ping'an wasted water every day.

It's just that Wei Ping'an, who crossed over, still retains the habit of taking a bath before going to bed.

When it comes to himself, Wei Ping'an won't leave.

Stand by and wait.

Disputes over three or five cents are easy to resolve in this era.

Especially when the police and the street office came forward, Wang Haixing took most of it, and the rest of the households shared the rest.

After settling the dispute, Li Weidong, the secretary of the street office, was about to leave, when he saw the taciturn Wei Ping'an coming forward.

"Officer Li, I want to ask if I can still apply for tap water to enter the household now?"

"Yes, do you want to apply?"

Running water has been going on for almost a year, but there have been few responders.

To handle the tap water to install a water meter, but also to connect the water pipe, whether the water meter or consumables are plain money, the people who are willing to spend more.

Anyway, the tap is at the gate of the courtyard, a matter of three or two steps.

"Officer Li, I apply for a tap water access household."

Some households in the jurisdiction took the initiative to apply for tap water to enter the household, which is also a reflection of the performance, and Director Li is also very happy.

I made an appointment to arrange someone to come to the door tomorrow to survey the terrain and make a quotation, and the two went back separately.

Director Li is not afraid of Wei Ping'an's remorse.

This era is very simple, whenever it comes to functional departments, there will be no backtracking, and Li Weidong is not afraid that Wei Ping'an is fooling.

Or maybe they didn't think about it at all.

Wei Ping'an is not worried that Director Li will forget this matter if he has no evidence.

The grassroots personnel in this era are still very responsible and down-to-earth.

Everyone in the courtyard saw that there was no more excitement to see, so they went back to their respective homes.

But Wei Ping'an's silent request for tap water to enter the house has also successfully become another topic of conversation for the families in the courtyard tonight.

"You said that he was a big boy, and he wanted to put the tap into the house, and it wouldn't be a waste of money."

"Hey, old man, do you know that Wei Ping'an's family is going to run tap water to enter the household?"

"This kid is lazy, three or two steps, spending money indiscriminately......"

"This little rabbit cub has the money to make running water, so he doesn't know how good it is to honor me, an old man, and save that money to buy meat for the elders......"

Needless to say, the last one must be the old pious woman Jia Zhang.

You can imagine her ugly face through the screen.

Life is not static.

Wei Ping'an wants to improve his quality of life, which will inevitably affect the neighbors around him.

Knowing that there is a moral kidnapper and a licking dog around him, and there is an unreasonable and unreasonable old pious woman Jia Zhang, how can Wei Ping'an not take precautions.

"Speaking of which, it's also Jia Zhang's mouth that makes trouble, how much water does she use as a family, and how much water does Wei Ping'an use as a young man, the old woman just said...... It's like Wei Ping'an has made a lot of money......"

There is no shortage of people in the courtyard, but most of the time they like to pretend to sleep.

For Wei Ping'an, on the one hand, it is to compromise and survive in a low-key manner;

On the one hand, he is a maverick, streamlining his life, and simply giving up.

The trade-off lies in himself, and Wei Ping'an decisively chose the latter.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Wei Ping'an has become a first-class fitter, with his own workbench, and also has the processing tasks that a first-class fitter should have.

Because he didn't have an apprenticeship with Sun Dahai, he just took a belt with him, so he didn't talk about going out of school.

Sun Dahai also lost the apprenticeship reward.

Both sides barely managed to get their own damage.

Wei Ping'an's strength is real, and he even has the ability to complete some ordinary secondary parts, so the work is relatively easy.

He has enough energy to plan for his future life.

The workload of a first-class fitter is not only to mark the processed parts, but also has a relatively high technical content, so Wei Ping'an has accumulated a lot of points in a day.

At this rate, in less than half a month, you can upgrade two levels in a row.

According to Wei Ping'an's reasoning, 300 points only.

10 points for Level 1, 100 points for Level 2, 200 points for Level 3.

At best, that's not all.

When I went home to cook porridge, I ate a second noodle nest with pickles, and dinner was solved.

Wei Ping'an, who was once worth more than 100 million, is also a down-to-earth ordinary person in his bones.

I can eat sea cucumber wings, and I can also swallow the pickles.

People need to strive for their own quality of life, but they should not overindulge themselves in the pursuit of pleasure and forget the hard and simple style.

In this regard, Wei Ping'an and his two lives were both very good.

With the lights out and the wax pulled, Wei Ping'an lay on the bed, sketching out the renovation plan of the house in his mind.

After two days of running water, he considered solving the two biggest problems of living in the courtyard: toilets and heating.

The act of defecating is vulgar, but it also has a soul.

It's cold and squatting in the pit, not to mention the soul, and the ass is not willing to show its head for a long time.

And heating is a problem that seriously affects Wei Ping'an's living habits.

According to Wei Ping'an's preliminary planning, the small room on the east side is made into a bathroom with dry and wet separation in the second half, and the south part is made into a kitchen.

As for heating, Wei Ping'an needs to upgrade his fitter skills and learn about the heating stove.
