Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 3 Work
After coming out of the examination room, Zhang Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he could pass the exam, after all, he had never really taken the exam in this era, so he was still a little nervous.

Now that the exam is over, the subjects are not too difficult, but Russian is more difficult. After all, most of the later generations learn English, and few people learn Russian.But thanks to the review these days, he made up for this gap. Although he can't keep up with other subjects, he should at least be able to pass.

I don't know if it was because of letting go of the pressure, but he suddenly felt hungry, rubbed his belly, and walked towards home faster.

As soon as I entered the door of the backyard, I smelled a burst of fragrance. Some children smelled it at the door, but because of the good education, although they were greedy, they would not gamble at the door of other people's houses.

"Gu, what delicious food did you cook?" Pushing open the door, she shouted.Looking at the room, my cousin and uncle looked at the newspaper in a serious manner on the surface, but their eyes kept wandering towards the kitchen.

"Xiaoyu is back, how did you do in the exam?" Wiping off the water on his hands on the apron, he walked out of the kitchen. "I'm resting today. When I went to the pigeon market, I happened to meet someone who was selling old hens. If I didn't get one, I'd just give it to you."

"Gu, you're so kind." Relying on the fact that she was the youngest, completely disregarding her mental age, she acted like a spoiled child around her aunt.

"You child." Zhang Guifang had nothing to do with her coquettish nephew, her whole heart was warm.The few children in her family have been independent since they were young, and they can solve most of the things by themselves, which did not let her experience the sense of accomplishment of being a mother at all.But being here with this natal nephew made her experience another feeling of being a mother.

"Stop making trouble, get a bowl and eat." As soon as they heard the word "eat", my uncle and cousin quickly stood up from their seats, one took a bowl for the rice, and the other brought over the food.Because of bad times and insufficient supply, they have not eaten meat for a long time.

Sitting at the dinner table, they all concentrated on eating, and my aunt and uncle would put good meat into his bowl from time to time.

After eating, rubbing, the stomach was full, and the family sat in the living room to discuss matters. "Xiaoyu, can I pass high school this time?"

"I guess it's about the same. If I can, I can, but I don't really want to go. I want to take over the work directly."

"Why didn't you go after your child passed the exam?" Zhang Guifang became anxious when she heard this.

"Listen to me, I'm going to high school. It takes at least two years, but job opportunities won't wait for me for two years. Now that life is stable, many people can't find jobs. Now jobs are one job and one pit."

In fact, the more important reason is that he just came to this world and felt that he couldn't adapt to everything and felt very insecure.

What's more, he had read so many books in later generations, and he had read enough, and he really didn't want to go back to school to read it again.

"However, it would be a pity if you didn't pass the exam. Besides, that job is too far away from home, and the time for going back and forth is wasted on the road. You are not in good health, how can you hold on?" Zhang Guifang was still a little unwilling .

"Gun, listen to me, I'm thinking of finding someone to change that job to a lesser job nearby, and it doesn't matter if the salary is lower. There will definitely be someone who will exchange it with me for the salary."

"Xiaoyu's idea is fine, Guifang. I heard people say that Xiaoli's father-in-law is going to retire, so who will he hand over the job to?" Uncle Zhao Wenzhuo thought for a long time.

"You said it was the one who was in charge of purchasing at the rolling mill. I heard that his family has no one to take over. His son has a job, his daughter-in-law is in a supply and marketing cooperative, and his daughter can't do the purchasing work. In addition, his daughter is not in Is there a job in the textile factory? It’s just that Xiao Li’s job is far away from the textile factory, and the husband and wife often don’t see each other.” Zhang Guifang, who is a street clerk, basically knows all kinds of gossip in the street.As he was talking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to look at her husband. "You mean?"

"Well, think about it, Xiao Li and his wife are far away. His wife lives in his father-in-law's house all the year round, and there are no relatives in his house. I remember that Xiao Yu's job is near the textile factory, right, when the time comes Wouldn't it be safe for the two companies to switch jobs?" Zhao Wenzhuo took a sip of tea unhurriedly. "Furthermore, the rolling mill is only about ten minutes away from our home."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Before the whole family could react, Zhang Guifang rushed out in a hurry.

"Slow down," Zhao Wenzhuo could only sigh for her impatience.But wasn't he attracted by her hot appearance and cheerful personality at the beginning?Looking at his uncle's sweet look, the young people who had never been in love shivered involuntarily.

Zhang Guifang went faster and came back even faster, and came back within a quarter of an hour, and said to him excitedly: "Xiao Li agreed, and just got on the bike to find his father-in-law."

"As expected of my sister, she is amazing." A group of people gathered around Zhang Guifang to praise, there was no way, as the de facto head of the family who controlled the family's financial power, he was in charge of whether they ate coarse grains or fine grains, whether they drank northwest wind or ate meat.

Before going to bed at night, the job swap has been discussed.Xiao Li's father-in-law has only one son and one daughter, so naturally he longs for his children to be around him.As a driver, my son does not stay at home all year round, and I want the company of the child. I am worried that the couple's work place is too far away. It will be fine for a while, but it will definitely hurt their feelings after a long time. The most important thing is that the couple has no children yet. .This time, he finally had the opportunity to transfer the two of them together, so naturally he would not let it go.

After the two families discussed it, they wrote a letter of introduction early the next morning and went to the unit to join the job.Then Zhang Yu was urged by his family to go to sleep quickly, to recover his spirits, and to make a good impression on the leader.

Zhang Yu returned to the room obediently, but it was still early, and the habit of falling asleep in the middle of the night still affected him in later generations.Before going to bed, I signed in and got two yuan in cash and ten catties of soybean oil.

The items in the space were carefully sorted out for review these days, plus he is not in good health, and he does not have a channel to buy things now, so he put the things he signed in into the space without looking at them. .He has saved a lot of things in just ten days, and he just took advantage of this time to tidy up, and he will be able to go to work tomorrow, so he will have a reason to take out his things to subsidize his family in the future.

If I don't sort it out carefully, I haven't discovered that there are quite a lot of things I got in the past ten days.Just five pieces of cloth are needed, one is bright red, two are army green, one is cyan, and one is blue. You must know that one piece of cloth is about 33m. few.150 catties of cornmeal, 100 catties of white flour, 80 catties of rice and 30 catties of millet.The oil was even pumped into a large tank, which was 300 catties full. The oil was pumped out together with the cloth. That day was the first day of the senior high school entrance examination, and it happened to coincide with the second Sunday. Double crit, all kinds of bills And so on, but less.

Seeing the last area, he couldn't help but start to feel greedy. Although he just ate meat today, he couldn't bear the lack of oil and water in the bodies of people in this era.In the last area, there are more than 50 catties of pork and two old hens, and they must find an excuse to take them out another day.Zhang Yu secretly made a decision.

He also thought about the job that he mentioned during the day. In fact, he didn't know whether he wanted to continue to study, but in later generations he went from elementary school to university for so many years, and he just started working for two years.

I really don't want to go back to school to continue studying.

Another reason is that he has been out of work for two years, and he can no longer learn psychologically. It may not be as effective to study in school as self-study.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu, who was dressed upright, was taken out by his sister-in-law and uncle, and got a job.Considering his age and health, as well as his status as a martyr, Wang, the logistics director of the rolling mill, arranged for him to work in an office. After two years, when he was older, he would be arranged to go out to work.

"Xiaoyu took over the job, so he doesn't go to school?" Director Wang chatted with Zhao Wenzhuo. They were old friends in the army. They retired together. After retiring, one entered the police station and the other entered the logistics.

"This kid is very thoughtful, and he always thinks not to drag me and his aunt down. Another job given here, after two years of schooling, may not be able to keep him. Even if he can keep it, it may not be What a good job." Zhao Wenzhuo was also worried about this.

Regarding the difficulties of his comrades-in-arms, Director Wang was naturally obliged, flicked the soot on his hand and said, "How is Xiaoyu's grades?"

"Not to mention anything else, the grades are definitely not bad, so I feel it's a pity." Zhao Wenzhuo's face was full of pride.

"Good grades are good. My old father-in-law happens to be the vice principal of the high school. After the high school entrance examination results come out, take his transcript. If the grades reach the high school, it will be better to send an admission letter. Just take his notification letter and go to The school first puts up the student status, and when the time comes, you can work and study at the same time, and you can get a high school diploma after taking the high school exam. Maybe you can take the college entrance exam with others."

"Can it still be like this?"

"Why can't it be like this? As long as Xiaoyu can pass the exam, everything will be fine."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink some other day." Zhao Wenzhuo patted Director Wang on the shoulder, and everything was said for their friendship.

"Don't worry, I'm taking care of Xiaoyu here."
