At dawn, Ma Teng got up energetically.
After cleaning up briefly, I decided to go to the breakfast restaurant.
After eating miscellaneous soup for a few days, Ma Teng wanted to try something else today.
He packed up handsomely and went out directly.
A group of compound residents who were washing up greeted Ma Teng one after another.
Ma Teng couldn't just leave, so they all responded with a smile, "This is life in the compound."
"Brother Ma, you are here."
As soon as Ma Teng arrived in the lounge, a voice came from inside. He looked up and saw that it was Zhang Liang. This guy looked at him with bared teeth.
"Ryoko, why are you here so early again? Can you bear to get up so early?"
"Brother Ma, it's okay. I can't sleep. I'm full of energy. It's Monday and the whole factory's circuits will be inspected. Of course I have to come early."
"Okay, as long as you're happy." Ma Teng said absently.
Zhang Liang ran in and out happily and energetically. After a while, the small lounge was tidy.
"Good morning, Brother Ma."
"Well, it's good for you too. Why are you so happy? What a good thing." Ma Teng looked up and saw Wang Pengyu.
Although they are almost the same size, Ma Teng is a third-level worker, while this kid is just an apprentice worker.
Since ancient times, the industry has always regarded masters as teachers.
"Good morning, pony."
"Good morning, Brother Ma."
Followed by Brother Shen and others.
"Brother Shen, Brother Cheng, good morning. Didn't you tell me what good things you had done? Are you all so happy?" Ma Teng was a little confused, what's going on? Could it be that he did something good behind his back and he didn't know it?
"Haha... It's nothing else. Of course I'm happy to have food at home, and so are they. Thank you Xiao Ma." Brother Cheng came over and patted Ma Teng on the arm.
"There's nothing to thank you for. We go out together and bear the risks together. You deserve what you get. We've already agreed. Why are you thanking me again?"
"Okay, you're welcome, Xiao Ma, your sister-in-law made the dumplings this morning, and I must bring them to you to try.
Come and try it. "Brother Shen put down his bag and came over with a warm lunch box.
When he heard the dumplings, Brother Cheng's eyes lit up, and the others even rubbed their hands and squeezed over.
The dumplings are very real and very big, and a lunch box can hold more than 20 of them.
Although most of the dishes were cabbage, Ma Teng tasted like home.
Ma Teng only ate two, and everyone else shared the other dumplings.
"You guys can't leave some for me and eat my dumplings. You have to take care of my food at noon."
"Haha... If you are in charge of the food, you must be in charge." Brother Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said.
Ma Teng suddenly felt that this era was quite good.
Time goes around like this, and work is so leisurely.
The end of the month is here in a blink of an eye.
On November 27, 1959, the entire factory was shut down for one thing only, which was the biggest rating event at the end of the year.
It was organized by the Beijing Federation of Trade Unions, which had the least presence. On this day, this organization was the largest.
However, Ma Teng was not taking the exam at the steel rolling mill today. Instead, he went to the Dongjiao Power Plant.
Almost half of the electricians in the entire capital are gathered here.
The country also attaches great importance to electricity.
The person sitting here is a deputy ministerial leader who is in charge of electricity, and he is also accompanied by various first-class experts.
There is no other reason but one, that is fairness and exploring talents.
Today's exam, not only can you take it once, but if you pass it, you can apply to advance to the exam again on the spot. This is why so many people are preparing for this year-end exam.
You can take the test in normal times, that is, you can pass the test if you pass it.
If it's just a few points behind, no one will criticize you. If it's much worse, the examiner will think you're insulting him and ban you from taking the exam for two years. You're just kidding.
As batches of people enter the venue, and then batches of people come out, just through the written test, one-third of the people can be screened out, and one-third can be eliminated.
In the end, just one-third of the promotion is pretty good.
Ma Teng's written test is 3 to 4, arranged in the 1st session, the 6th test area.
People here are scattered. Maybe the person taking the exam next to you is a 5-6 guy, or maybe a 7-8 guy.
Ma Teng saw several people with gray hair. Seeing these, Ma Teng raised his eyebrows. He finally understood why Fan Jin was so successful, and he also felt quite sympathetic.
Ma Teng doesn't want to stop at level 4 today. His goal is level 7. He probably won't arrange an exam next year and the year after that, because no one is in such a mood, and going to level 7 is a level that is neither above nor below. It is too high. If Ma Teng is killed, he will be taken away. According to Ma Teng's status, if he reaches the eighth level, the higher-ups will properly consider him. As for being sent to the deep mountains and deserts, that is something Ma Teng cannot refuse, unless Ma Teng chooses to treason. .
Let’s wait a few years and let’s talk about other things after 65. At that time, the country will not take any big actions. Even if there is, Ma Teng, a small electrician, will not be considered. Even if Ma Teng is an eighth-level electrician, he will be given priority. The fact that he was the only one at home.
After 1966, Ma Teng will show off his talents. With his own skills, it is still possible to make a small splash in the capital.
Ma Teng will make a huge effort to protect historical relics.
As Ma Teng thought about it, he felt like a college student doing elementary school students' questions, filling in the correct answers quickly and accurately.
An exam lasted 35 minutes, but Ma Teng only took 15 minutes to finish it all.
When it's time to be high-profile, you have to be high-profile.
Raise your hand to hand in the paper.
The invigilator came to collect the papers and then sent them to the marking room by a dedicated person.
Ma Teng walked out of the examination room easily. After waiting for almost 10 minutes, a teacher came out, stamped the document Ma Teng was holding, signed his name, and asked Ma Teng to write it in his notebook. Write the name.
Then he asked Ma Teng to find an electrician to take an on-site test, pointed him in the direction, and then ignored him. Now the test is so casual.
When he arrived at the examination room, Ma Teng reported his examination number. After the teacher and recorder found him, they asked him to start.
This practical test is about having a problem with the circuit in this house. Quickly find out where the problem is and solve it quickly. In fact, this is a third-level electrician's test. Ma Teng found the key point in just three minutes and operated directly with power. But the operational knowledge mastered by level 6 electricians.
Just when the invigilator reacted and stopped him, Ma Teng had already solved the problem.
This scared the invigilator to the point where he was sweating. He was only a level 6 electrician, but this guy took the exam for level 4. Who the hell is this apprentice, teaching knowledge beyond his level? This could lead to death.
Although he gave Ma Teng full marks, he still glared at him.
He signed the document given to him, and asked Ma Teng to sign his own transcript as well. This needs to be compared.
There is a teacher next to him who is supervising this exam. He doesn't care about anything but only records the candidates' scores.
In this way, it is a three-phase contrast.
There is absolutely no way to cheat.
Ma Teng took the stamped document after passing it and found the next scene. There were several people here, and Ma Teng was waiting in line.
I don’t know anyone who is in the same class as Ma Teng. The highest level is level 2. All the level 3 exams are completed in the factory. Only level 4 and above can be taken to the power plant.
Therefore, Ma Teng only knows two people in the entire power plant now, Cheng Pujun and Shen Zhongjun. However, there are hundreds of people taking the exam today. Who knows where these two people are assigned.
Soon it was Ma Teng's turn.
I was taken to a room with a bundle of wires on the floor. I was then asked to turn on the lights when I entered and turn off the lights when I went out.
It's very simple. This kind of electricity knowledge was learned in junior high schools in later generations, but at this time, it was required for the promotion exam.
Not only that, the wiring cannot be bad, it needs to be organized and economical.
Relying on Ma Teng's many years of experience in wiring wiring design, Ma Teng could calculate the approximate number of wires needed for the house at a glance.
Under the surprised gazes of others, Ma Teng began to pull the thread.
They only used their feet to measure, and here they pulled the thread and measured it with their hands. They moved neatly, and the pliers were also precise. Several invigilators listened to Ma Teng cutting the thread, and their foreheads bulged.
