Chapter 19 Literacy Standards
The second uncle is just painting cakes for bangs. In this era, introducing someone is not so easy. If you don't introduce it well, the girl's family will scold you to death when they meet.

People in this era still pay attention to a certain amount of honesty, unlike modern times, where they give you money and introduce you to wine trustees, meal trustees, and the introduction company works hand in hand with these women, defrauding one after another.

"Master, you are wrong. Why are you helping an outsider? Second Master, we have to have one who comes first." Hearing this, Silly Zhu quit immediately and yelled loudly.

Liu Hai almost burst out laughing. As soon as the second uncle heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, Silly Zhu, I will introduce you to you first."

The old man almost collapsed...

"Second uncle, that's right. Besides, this kid is only so old and his hair hasn't even grown yet. Second uncle, you are going to give me your heart. I, silly Zhu, will definitely thank you very much when the time comes." Silly Zhu said to the second The uncle spoke, and looked at Liu Hai proudly.

"First uncle, second uncle, I'll go first." Silly Zhu showed off and left.

The uncle coughed: "You are busy, I will go first."

The second uncle's face is also not good-looking. Who dares to introduce a girl to Silly Zhu's virtues? Who doesn't know who has a bad mouth?

"Xiao Liu, let's go."

"Xiao Liu, this paste is ready for you."

"Thank you, second uncle."

"Oh, today I wanted to marry you, but Silly Zhu heard it again. Your second uncle and I are trying to get in with you again."

"Second uncle, you have worked hard."

"My family, my family." The second uncle and Liu Hai plastered the wall, and it took more than an hour to fix it. The main reason is that the room is not big, and it looks much better now.

"How was it?" the second uncle asked after finishing.

"The second uncle is good at his craftsmanship." Liu Hai also gradually began to communicate more with the people around him, and gradually integrated into this society.

"This is just like a place to live. Don't worry, when you become a regular, the second uncle will definitely introduce you to a good girl." The second uncle said in a low voice.

"Shazhu has a bad mouth. It is said that in the factory, he is like a big girl and a little daughter-in-law. His mouth is not closed. No one dares to introduce girls to him. Xiao Liu, don't learn from him."

The second uncle left, and the whole room smelled of ink, Liu Hai thought in his heart, when he came back to the village, he would bring something for the second uncle.

Although the second uncle is utilitarian, he is really doing things for himself after all.

After a speechless night, I continued to pack things the next day. In the afternoon, I came to the material purchasing station and found that the material purchasing station had also started selling things.

There is also a group of women sorting waste products, sorting scrap metal with magnets in their hands.

"Steel mills don't want these waste products. They say they have everything in them, so they have to sort them out carefully."

"The people at the steel mill want us to sort it and sell it to them. We don't want aluminum, copper, and rubber."

"These are the only people in our material recycling station."

"The furniture factory also dislikes those kinds of wood, because there is no new wood that is easy to use."

Liu Hai roughly understood that steel mills also want scrap iron, but they only want iron, and other things need to be screened manually, but no one is there to screen, that's how it works in the factory, who does it if it's not their own business?

Someone came to choose various kinds of wood to go back to the fire. A young man picked up an ax and knocked a lame Taishi chair into pieces, then threw it aside and tied it up....

It takes at least 30 years for old furniture to be valuable, and it takes 90s. In the 80s, some people lost all the old furniture and replaced it with new ones...

The bowls with tight supplies have to be replenished several times, and it is also after being blocked by the big brother...

The main reason is that most of the places we live in now are not big, and this kind of Taishi chair is of no use at all. Just like the large courtyard where Liu Hai lives, there are more than 100 people, but only a few people lived there before?
After working hard for several days, the warehouse was cleaned up and the inside was cleaned again. The health office breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Liu, you have to study hard. A new notice was issued this year and the literacy class assessment standards have been raised." At noon, Liu Hai's master Yang Hehua said.

"Master, what standard?" Liu Hai asked while practicing calligraphy.

"In 53, it was required to know 1500 characters, to be able to read newspapers, and to be able to write practical essays of 300 characters."

"Now that I have improved, I need to know 2000 characters. Go study tomorrow and study hard with Teacher Zhu."

"After graduating from the literacy class, you can become a full-time employee. Now, companies are required to have a non-illiteracy rate of 70%."

Liu Hai did not expect that there is still a standard for literacy, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes, I see, Master."

Yang Hehua looked at Liu Hai and was still very satisfied. It was a pity that she didn't have a daughter. Liu Hai was not as boring as when she first came. Yang Hehua guessed that Liu Hai was an orphan before, so she was a little lonely.

At 08:30 on Sunday morning, Teacher Zhu came with his daughter.

"Brother, good morning." It was still cold in March in the north, Xiaolin came to the side of Liu Hai's seat in no time, looked at Liu Hai with big black eyes, and greeted with a smile.

"Morning." Liu Hai nodded.

Teacher Zhu watched her daughter sit down, and said, "Everyone, take out your homework first, and let everyone know that the standard of the literacy class has been improved, so everyone must continue to work hard..."

Looking at the homework of these people, Mr. Zhu felt his scalp tingling. It was not as good as his daughter's writing, but there was no way to do it. There are a lot of illiterate people now, even half of them in the factory can't read many words.

"Student Liu Hai is very good, how did you study?" Teacher Zhu asked after seeing Liu Hai's homework, his eyes lit up.

"Teacher, after lunch every day, the master asked me to practice calligraphy." Liu Hai stood up unconsciously. Although this teacher Zhu is definitely not as educated as himself, it is very hard for him to come to Xizhimen from Niujie, Xuanwu District so early to take classes. of.

"Okay." Teacher Zhu thought, this is also a way, he learned it here, and asked the masters in the factory... But he shook his head, these masters may not know how to read.

Teacher Zhu started teaching. He first wrote on the blackboard according to the gestures, while Xiaolin was writing Arabic numerals. She wrote very well and was very focused.

Teacher Zhu taught [-] characters today, and each word needs to be written [-], and will be checked next time.

"Student Liu Hai, are you still going to university?" Teacher Zhu asked Xiaolin while riding a bicycle when school was over at noon.

Liu Hai shook his head: "No, I'm going down to participate in swimming training."

"Student Liu Hai, if your master knows how to read, let your master teach you more, take the exam earlier, become a regular student sooner, and earn money for your parents earlier." Teacher Zhu didn't ask why, because recently various companies and units are holding sports games. Schools are doing it too.

"I'm a adoptive parent and have already gone." Liu Hai shook his head and said.

"sorry."

"It's ok."

"Brother, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Liu Hai also hurried back, and then went down to participate in swimming training, because the weather has gradually warmed up recently, so he has to start training.
