Chapter 6 The show is about to begin
Looking at the figure hurriedly away, Zhu Xuefeng felt a little agitated, but quickly regained his composure. Love is beautiful, a kind of sustenance, and also a kind of responsibility.
The family affairs have not been sorted yet, and another heavy responsibility has come.
After tidying up the chairs and returning to the middle room with the teacups, the two little ones were studying, but judging by the situation, they knew they were all imaginative.
"What are you thinking about? Study hard, time is so tight, and you are still cheating. You will have to take the entrance exam in a few months. If you fail, let's see how I deal with you two."
< br>Zhu Xuefeng reminded me to put away the tea cups.
"Brother, eldest brother, is it my sister-in-law who came just now?" Zhu Xuesong couldn't hold his breath and asked anyway.
"No, it's just a classmate who came to notify me to go back to school to take the exam."
"Liar, how long can a notification last!" Zhu Xuesong obviously didn't believe it.
"Besides, brother, your face is still a little red." Zhu Xuesong smiled.
"They brought me notes from this period and we talked for a while."
"Besides, it's not like we haven't met each other before. It's Xia Yuhong. I've been here several times. He's an old classmate."< br>
Zhu Xuefeng turned his head and looked at Zhu Xuemei. This sister was obviously in a bad mood.
"Xuemei, what's wrong with you? Your worries are like a caterpillar, almost crawling onto your face."
Zhu Xuemei was startled and realized that her elder brother was joking.
After hesitating for a while, "Brother, Sister Xia said that you gave up going to college for us..."
"I feel uncomfortable." Zhu Xuemei said it anyway.
"My second brother and I are dragging you down." Zhu Xuemei was a little jealous.
"What are you thinking about? This is what we have agreed upon. How about either of you go to work? I don’t want you in the factory. Haha. Besides, if my eldest brother goes to work, he will have the opportunity to learn a lot of knowledge and be able to make things. Achievements that others can’t achieve.”
“Okay, okay, don’t think too much. If you want to make my brother happy, just get good grades. Then he will be very happy.”
< br>
He gently wiped Zhu Xuemei's tears with the back of his hand, and then touched his sister's head.
"The difficulty is temporary. In the second half of the year, you will see that our old Zhu family is still living a prosperous life."
It is already a little dark, and there are many people playing crazy outside. The children all called home one after another. Zhu Xuefeng comforted his younger brothers and sisters and prepared to go back to the room to read his notes.
Just after entering the north room for a while, Liu Haizhong’s shouting came from outside the door.
"Xiao Zhu, are you there? I am the second uncle"
This Liu Haizhong is the second uncle in the courtyard, a seventh-level forger in the steel rolling mill. Except for the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, he is the second uncle in the courtyard. His rank was high, so he became the second uncle in this compound where the majority of the family members of the steel rolling mill were.
Zhu Xuefeng opened the door, and Liu Haizheng was standing at the door with a strange middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was also carrying a four-color gift box.
Zhu Xuefeng was very puzzled. This etiquette was not light. He quickly let him into the middle room and asked his younger brothers and sisters to clean up and make tea.
In the old capital, there are rules for door-to-door etiquette. The four-color etiquette is considered high.
Zhu Xuefeng got straight to the point.
"It's late at night, I wonder what the second uncle is..."
Liu Haizhong didn't waste any words and introduced directly.
"This is Li, the deputy section chief of the Finance Department of our steel rolling mill. He wants to chat with you, so I will help you. I will go out first and you chat."
Turn around, Zhu Xuefeng was stunned when Liu Haizhong left.
"Uncle Li, what are you doing?"
It turns out that the old Li family has a son, Li Yong, who wants to join the steel rolling mill. Originally, this matter was not a big deal a few years ago. The steel rolling mill recruits people every year, and family members must be given priority.
But since last year, due to the general environment, all factories have stopped recruiting people. I heard that Zhu Xuefeng has a quota, and I want Zhu Xuefeng to transfer it. As for the formalities, Lao Li also has connections in the steel rolling mill.
Zhu Xuefeng did not agree. There was no need to discuss the matter at all, and no one said hello or inquired in advance. He just came to the door. This can only be done without being particular.
Chief Li originally thought that Liu Haizhong was the one pulling the strings, and since he was a cadre and wanted to stay in the steel rolling mill, it would be hard to offend these two people.
Add some more compensation, and wait until he graduates from high school to find a job. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xuefeng refused to let go despite all the hard work.
Lao Li's transfer fee increased from four hundred to five hundred, and finally to one thousand, and Zhu Xuefeng did not relent.
"One thousand is enough for your four-year apprenticeship salary. It will be enough for you brothers and sisters to live for several years. Besides, you are afraid of not being able to find a job after graduating from high school."
"Nowadays, high school students "It's easy to find." Lao Li was very sincere, with a hint of coercion.
Four-year apprenticeship! Knowing that people only calculate based on salary, Zhu Xuefeng is still very unhappy. You said my four years as an apprentice is only four years. Look, I will grade it for you when I go there.
Old Li looked at Zhu Xuefeng, but Zhu Xuefeng was unmoved and refused to let go.
"Uncle Li, let's not say more. One thousand is quite a lot. This quota is not worth it, but there is no way, I really can't give it to you."
Words That being said, it is still quite worthwhile to spend a thousand to find a formal job in a steel rolling mill. This is something to settle down and live in, and you will have a future in this life.
As long as you don’t make a big mistake, no one can fire you, not even the factory director or secretary. After all, this is the era of the workers’ Big Brother.
"My father paid for this with his life. If I want to give it to you, I will have to be scolded to death. Uncle Li, please be considerate. I'm sorry. Please take the gift box back. I'm so sorry." . ”
Lao Li walked out of the courtyard, and Liu Haizhong was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, smoking a cigarette. The cigarette butts alternated between light and dark in the darkness, showing that Liu Haizhong was also anxiously waiting for the news.
"Chief Li, is it done?" Seeing Chief Li coming out, Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward and asked cautiously. "You said it will happen or not!" Section Chief Li said angrily, raising the four-color gift box.
"This is the ignorant student doll you said. It is very difficult to deal with and cannot get in." It seems that Section Chief Li's mood is not as calm as before.
“It’s bad luck to leave.” Section Chief Li left without looking back.
Liu Haizhong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, crushed it with all his strength, and returned to the compound with a dark face.
After sending Lao Li away, Zhu Xuefeng was also furious, and the good mood brought by Xia Yuhong's arrival disappeared instantly.
This second uncle doesn't do human affairs. He only has this position in the family, and he still comes to disrupt the situation, clearly bullying Lao Zhu for his absence.
Who doesn’t know that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has the best treatment and the most benefits in this area, and in the coming years, what could be more useful than a worker’s brand?
This time I have offended Liu Haizhong, and probably also Deputy Chief Li of the Finance Department. This is such a mess.
It’s time to find a chance to show off your teeth. There are no adults at home, and everyone wants to step on you. First it’s the house, and here’s the job. If there was an old man in the family, who would dare to show his teeth on these two things.
I don’t think that there are only three children in Lao Zhu’s family who don’t understand anything. They can be deceived if they can, and they can be deceived if they can.
Whoever dares to reach out will have his hand chopped off. Zhu Xuefeng slapped the table hard and stood up.
Come on, let me, Zhu Xuefeng, take over and let you all hit your head and bleed, then you will realize how powerful I am.
Since we have to fight, we cannot fight unprepared. The next day, Zhu Xuefeng went out early and came back in the afternoon.
When I got home, I went through my thoughts carefully before starting to toss with the hemp net I bought.
The hemp net was designed based on the shape of the truck compartment. It did not meet Zhu Xuefeng's expectations, but it was still usable. When unfolded, it was about eight meters wide and twelve meters long.
Zhu Xuefeng hopes that they will be ten meters long and easy to operate. The current size is a bit cumbersome.
After half a day, I was so tired that my back ached. This physical condition needed to be improved urgently. I put the modified rope nets into separate spaces.
I found the notes left by Xia Yuhong and looked at them carefully. After all, I have to take the exam in a few days, so I still have to read it. Although I understand the content, it does not mean that I will complete the answers as required. With Xia Yuhong’s instructions, Zhu Xuefeng also Sorry for the indifference.
I flipped through the pages very quickly. After finishing the first book, I picked up the second one and felt a bit strange. It was obviously thicker than the first one.
It wouldn't be a love letter, would it? Are girls so bold nowadays? If this was revealed, it would be a bomb. Zhu Xuefeng did not believe that Xia Yuhong could be so stupid, but it was not impossible for a girl to become a tiger.
After flipping through it, this little girl filled her notebook with money. They were all big black tens. She clicked on them, and there were twelve cards in total.
I guess I secretly saved it for more than ten years. The money was so expensive that I had to find an opportunity to pay it back to her. No wonder I had to watch it and it took two days to finish it.
Zhu Xuefeng's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. He was so sincere, but he didn't know whether he could go to college. He had to fight for it, for himself and for Xia Yuhong.
Starting tomorrow, I will read the book twice and do all the after-school exercises. Since I want to try, I will give it my best.
Looking at the time, it’s time to prepare dinner. I added some corn stubble to the rice to make two rice dishes. Eating rice will probably attract gossip again.
Cabbage and potatoes, that’s it. Cut some pig tails and add a pickle. It’s not complicated. It will be ready in a while.
People who go to work and go to school are coming back one after another. Everyone is saying hello to each other, and the courtyard is full of people coming and going, making it a lively scene.
Every household is cooking, little kids are chasing and playing in the courtyard, and several men gather together to chat and wait for the meal to be served at home.
From a distance, he saw Liu Haizhong coming out of Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai soon followed and rushed to the front yard. Zhu Xuefeng estimated that he was looking for Yan Fugui. The three uncles gathered together, and it was most likely It is time to negotiate the "major matter" of the courtyard.
Seeing the two uncles sneaking into the third uncle's house as expected, Zhu Xuefeng guessed that the fight would take place tonight.
That’s right, we can’t delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, the scars will become shallower. Look at the middle courtyard, what is supposed to come will always come.
Sure enough, after dinner, Yan Jiefang, the second eldest son of the third uncle’s family, knocked on the door and announced.
"Brother Xuefeng, I have asked you to inform everyone that there will be a meeting in the courtyard later."
"After informing your families, I have to run from house to house."
"What did you say?" Zhu Xuefeng raised his head and asked.
“No, I don’t know what’s going on.” The boy said very tightly.
“Do you all have to go?”
“That’s not necessary. If you don’t have time, a representative from each family can do it.”
“Okay, I’ll go in a minute. ”
Zhu Xuefeng agreed at the door. What was supposed to come finally came, and asked his younger brothers and sisters to study for a while and not to run around or join in the fun.
Go back to the room to clean up your injuries, put on your clothes again, put the receipt in your pocket, and wait.
Listening to the bustle of people in the middle courtyard, Zhu Xuefeng understood that a good show was about to take place, so he walked to the middle courtyard without bringing a stool.
Men, women, old and young gather together, and many families bring their families. After all, there are no entertainment activities at night, so a meeting can be quite lively.
Besides, children are noisy even if they are left at home. Looking at the bustling middle courtyard, it can be said that it is a sea of people, only the gongs and drums are noisy. Zhu Xuefeng secretly added a sentence to set the scene.
After the Spring Festival, the courtyard was so lively for the first time. Everyone came out as soon as they were notified, waiting for the grand "Housewide Meeting" to be held.
The author is a newbie. I like everyone to throw in recommendation votes. Come and smash it. You are not afraid of breaking your head. Even if you have collected it, you are not afraid of smashing it every day. Why don’t you give it a try
