Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

After more than ten minutes, Li Lixin came out of the workshop in high spirits, and it was obvious that he had achieved good results.

"Master, Dad, Second Uncle, why are you all here?"

Li Lixin was a little surprised when he saw these three people.

"What's wrong? I can't come?"

Li Tiehua glared and got angry when he saw his son like this.

"Haha, your dad is worried about you, so he insisted on bringing us here to see you."

Zhang Zhiqiang responded with a smile.

"Dad, I didn't expect you to care about me so much."

Li Lixin walked over, put his arms around his father's neck and said with a smile.

Li Lixin is much taller and stronger than Li Tiehua. Plus, locksmith work is not easy, so Li Tiehua may not be Li Lixin's match in terms of strength alone.

"Let me go now, who are you with? Tell me now, have you passed the test?"

Li Tiehua said stubbornly, in fact he quite enjoyed the feeling of harmony between father and son.

"Then you must have passed. You didn't even look at who I am. Even if you didn't know who I am, you didn't even look at who my master is. Isn't it easy to pass a level?"

Li Lixin said with a smile that he had a blind confidence in Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Hahaha, it's over now, why don't you thank your master quickly."

Li Tiehua laughed happily and slapped Li Lixin on the back of the head. As a father, this was his unique way of expressing his love.

My son has now passed the first level and can be said to be a formal employee of the steel rolling mill. With Zhang Zhiqiang as his master, his future will be limitless.

"Thank you, master."

Li Lixin said seriously that he was already very grateful to Zhang Zhiqiang, especially compared with those of his age, he was even more grateful to Zhang Zhiqiang.

People usually require an apprentice to work for three years and learn the skills for two years. My peers are now struggling to do odd jobs for their masters, but I have become a formal fitter in less than half a year. This is all thanks to Zhang Zhiqiang.

"Qiangzi, I have a nephew like you, thank you."

Director Li held Zhang Zhiqiang's hand and said gratefully that it was he who facilitated Li Lixin to become Zhang Zhiqiang's apprentice. He had long discovered that Zhang Zhiqiang had extraordinary skills, but he did not expect that he was so good at teaching his apprentice.

"It's not just my credit. It's because Li Xin is diligent, willing to learn, and able to endure hardships that he was able to pass the exam so smoothly."

Zhang Zhiqiang declined.

Li Lixin was a little depressed. What was going on? He had worked very hard, but it seemed as if all the credit was due to his master.

Then when Li Lixin heard what Zhang Zhiqiang said, he immediately smiled. It turned out that his master understood him. That's right, I, Li Lixin, am down-to-earth, willing to learn, and able to endure hardships.

"Qiangzi, don't refuse. How about this, you can bring your wife to our house for dinner this weekend. Our family hasn't been together for a long time."

Li Tiehua also said happily.

As for being a family, that's true.

Didn’t Li Lixin take Zhang Zhiqiang as his master? Nowadays, there is actually no difference between taking a master and acknowledging a father, so Zhang Zhiqiang is like Li Lixin’s father.

He is also Li Lixin's father, which means he and Zhang Zhiqiang are Li Lixin's two fathers, so they are a family.

"Okay, I'll take it then."

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded and said, without refusing. There was no need to be polite between him and his apprentice's family.

"Hahaha, okay, let's go and don't disturb others here."

Li Tiehua noticed that the people around them looked at them differently, so he quickly spoke.

The voices they spoke just now were quite loud and some people in the queue heard it. What did they mean? Are they trying to provoke us since we haven't even started the exam yet?

They think that Li Lixin passed the test by luck, so why is he bragging here? His master is so young, could he be a seventh or eighth level fitter?

The others also agreed, and several of them walked towards Workshop 11.

When he arrived at the workshop, Li Tiehua went back. This was considered skipping work, so he had to go back to let others see that he was still there.

Director Li also went back. There was no point in staying after knowing the result.

Zhang Zhiqiang and Li Lixin returned to the workshop, but the others had not returned yet. After all, the others were taking the third, fourth, and fifth level assessments, which took a little longer time than Li Lixin's.

"Li Xin, don't be too proud now that you have become a first-class fitter. This is just a stepping stone. Your life has just begun."

Seeing Li Lixin's smug look, Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't help but knock on him.

"I know, Master. My goal is to become an eighth-level fitter. This is just the beginning. I will definitely work hard."

Li Lixin patted his chest and assured that he was proud but did not get carried away. After all, he passed the test, so he had to be happy.

After seeing this, Zhang Zhiqiang nodded with satisfaction.

"A short-term goal could be to become an eighth-level fitter, but a long-term goal must be more ambitious. First, you need to see what you like, and then work hard in that direction."

"Only by studying hard and working hard can we make greater contributions to the country."

Zhang Zhiqiang educated.

"I see, Master. You're not much older than me, so why are you nagging like my dad?"

Li Lixin complained that this was why he and his father didn't get along.

During adolescence, children tend to have a rebellious mentality. They feel that they are already little adults and don’t want to be controlled in the same way anymore, so of course they have to confront their parents.

The correct approach at this time should be to give some encouragement, satisfy the child's ridiculous vanity, and be friends with the child to achieve a suitable communication environment. After all, after his birthday, Li Lixin will only be seventeen years old.

"I'm not nagging. Master, I have too high expectations of you. Besides, we are very similar, have you noticed?"

"We both entered the factory at about the same time, but you passed the first-level fitter assessment earlier than I did. In this respect, you are better than me."

Zhang Zhiqiang patted Li Lixin on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Really? Master, do you really think I'm stronger than you?"

"At least that's how it looks now. You still need to work hard to see what will happen in the future."

Zhang Zhiqiang said affirmatively that encouraging education is sometimes very effective.

"I understand, Master. I will definitely work hard. In fact, you are also very strong, but your master is not as strong as my master."

Li Lixin said with a wink.

"My master is not as good as your master?"

"Good boy, are you praising me in a different way?"

Zhang Zhiqiang said with a laugh and a scolding.

"Hehe, then my master is better than other people's masters."

Li Lixin said with a proud look on his face that at his age he should have acted like he was the best in the world, but his master was too amazing and he couldn't help but admire him.

In addition, compared with his peers, he has left them far behind. Relatively speaking, Li Lixin matures faster than others.

"Okay, then go and process those parts now."

Zhang Zhiqiang pointed to several parts on the operating table and said.

"Master, that's a second-level part. I'm only a first-level fitter. The kid can't do it!"

Li Lixin said wailingly.

"Hurry up, it's not like I haven't taught you yet. Do you want to take the Level 2 exam directly next year?"

Zhang Zhiqiang slapped Li Lixin on the back of the head. He learned this from Li Tiehua. It felt really good.

"Of course I do. Okay, I'll go."

Li Lixin prepared for a while and started to work carefully. Now his pass rate of second-level parts is not low. If he finishes well, maybe his master can teach him the third level.

Li Lixin’s goal for next year is to become a third-level fitter!
