Chapter 10 Upgrade
Li Jiandong was stunned. Jia Dongxu had already reached the level of a formal fitter from a fitter apprentice so quickly.

At the same time, experience points are also enabled.

The next level requires some upgrade experience, but I don’t know how many parts I need to make to gain one point of experience.

That afternoon, Li Jiandong kept staring at Jia Dongxu's experience bar.

Then I found that the speed of acquiring experience is not constant, but is proportional to the completion of Jia Dongxu's parts and the difficulty of the parts.

Four experience points per day.

At this rate, Jia Dongxu will be able to upgrade in less than ten days.

"What a good disciple! I have found a treasure this time. I wonder how much experience I have now and how much experience I still need to level up."

Li Jiandong was thinking this when suddenly a character interface appeared in front of him.

【Li Jiandong】

Skill level: Fitter (level 7)

Apprentice: Jia Dongxu/fitter level (not yet graduated)
--------

A very clean introduction.

Li Jiandong was pleasantly surprised to find that he already had more than 10,000 experience points as a level one fitter, and he only needed more than 2,000 points to be upgraded.

According to the calculation of a hundredfold return, it would be enough for Jia Dongxu to gain some more experience.

With a little more effort, Li Jiandong will be able to be promoted to level eight fitter before the end of get off work tomorrow.

"I didn't expect the upgrade to be so simple. It seems I was too conservative before."

Li Jiandong couldn't help but laugh.

It is only the second year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and senior fitters are very rare. Among the more than 10,000 workers in the steel rolling mill, there are only two eighth-level fitters.

If Li Jiandong passes the exam this time, his status in the factory will be raised several levels.

Another day passes.

As expected, Li Jiandong was promoted to level eight fitter as he wished, and many fitter operating skills suddenly emerged in his mind.

Now I just have to wait for the grading test to officially become an eighth-level fitter.

周末
"Li Jiandong, it's the weekend today, why are you up so early?"

Yan Bugui was packing to go fishing. When he saw Li Jiandong carrying two large bags, he took the initiative to show his friendship.

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "I'll take a break this weekend and go to Qin Huairu's house to discuss the wedding."

Normally, this kind of thing should be coordinated by a matchmaker, with the man's parents or elders coming to propose marriage.

However, rules are dead and people are alive.

The matchmaker was unreliable, and Li Jiandong was a lonely man.

Li Jiandong thought about it and decided that the marriage had to be arranged on a special basis.

It would be better to just go and propose to yourself. At most people will say that you are shameless.

"Congratulations, congratulations, it's better to celebrate this kind of thing sooner rather than later. When the time comes, don't forget to treat me to the wedding wine!"

"Of course, no neighbor can be left behind!"

The two briefly chatted for a few words.

Li Jiandong left the compound and took the bus to Qin Huairu's home.

After an hour of bumpy ride, the bus stopped at Qinjiazhuang bus station.

Li Jiandong looked through the window and saw Qin Huairu standing on the roadside waiting for him from a distance.

He got out of the car carrying his things, and Qin Huairu came up to him with a shy and happy smile.

"Brother Jiandong, you are here."

Qin Huairu stepped forward and took the bag from his hand.

Li Jiandong smiled and said, "Yeah, I didn't keep you waiting for long, did I?"

Qin Huairu shook his head.

The two walked towards the village side by side.

It was the busy spring season, and the young women in the village were all working in the fields. When they saw the two people, they couldn't help but feel curious and gossip.

Soon, the news that the daughter of the fourth Qin family had found a city man and had become a phoenix on the tree spread throughout the village. The door of Qin Huairu's house was open, and the yard was clean. It was obvious that the family had specially cleaned up.

As soon as she entered the room, Qin Huairu shouted into the room: "Dad, Mom, Brother Jiandong is here."

Qin Huairu's parents had known that the new son-in-law was coming, so they put down their work in the fields and waited for him at home.

When they heard the sound, they hurried out of the house with smiles on their faces.

"Jiandong is here, come in and sit down."

"You must be tired from the long car ride. Drink some water first."

My parents were very enthusiastic, and their eyes were like radar, looking me up from head to toe.

He is a little older, but good-looking and very stylish. This son-in-law is a city dweller and a seventh-level fitter.

Qin Dashan and Wang Shiyan were extremely satisfied with this son-in-law, and they were immediately beaming with joy.

"Uncle, aunt, hello, my name is Li Jiandong. This is my first time visiting you and I don't know what you like, so I just brought something for you. Don't mind if I say so."

Li Jiandong was also very polite and put the things in his hand on the table.

"Oh, Jiandong, you are too polite. From now on, we are a family. It would be enough if you could come home often. We have everything we need at home. Just don't spend too much." Wang Shiyan was so happy that her mouth almost reached her ears.

Qin Dashan was more honest and just laughed at the side.

"Mom, this is a little gift from Brother Jiandong, please stop being so fussy."

The fact that Qin Huairu said this shows that she already considers herself as Li Jiandong's woman.

It is true that women are extroverts.

"Okay, okay, Jiandong, please sit inside."

The two sides first briefly talked about each other's families, and then soon talked about marriage.

Li Jiandong meant to wait until he passed the work-level exam before marrying Qin Huairu.

Qin Dashan and Wang Shiyan knew that their daughter was marrying up, so they wanted to get married earlier.

But due to face, he didn't say it directly.

After all, I am the girl, and I can't be too pushy, or it will make my daughter look worthless.

It's almost noon.

Wang Shiyan asked Qin Dashan to accompany Li Jiandong.

I started preparing lunch.

When Wang Shiyan opened the gift Li Jiandong brought, she was almost blinded by it.

There were two packages, one package was full of meat, a piece so big that it must weigh at least ten pounds.

The other package contained three pounds of sugar, a piece of cloth, and two bottles of white wine.

This is really too generous.

In this age of material scarcity.

These things are rare even for city dwellers, not to mention in the village.

For a moment, Wang Shiyan cried with excitement. It was such a blessing for her daughter to meet such a good man.

Wang Shiyan hurried out, borrowed a dozen eggs from his neighbor, and caught a chicken.

When the new son-in-law comes to your house for the first time, you must make sure he doesn’t eat well or he will be scared away.

In the afternoon, the two sides discussed some wedding details.

With Qin Huairu reluctant to leave, Li Jiandong took a bus back to the city.

As soon as Li Jiandong got off the car, he heard someone calling him.

"Lao Li, where did you just come from?"

When he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man riding a bicycle, supporting himself with his legs on the ground, stopped in front of him.

There was a large box tied to the back seat of the car. It belonged to Xu Fugui, the projectionist in the backyard and Xu Damao's father.

Li Jiandong said, "I went to Xinzhuang Commune to meet Qin Huairu's parents."

After the last incident, everyone in the hospital knew that Li Jiandong had found a girlfriend from the countryside.

"Okay, we've met the parents. How's it going? Have you set a date?" Xu Fugui asked with concern.
