Chapter 195 Little Sister’s Little Report
Dinner was at Shazhu’s house again. Unless there are special circumstances, Shazhu will take the initiative to have dinner on Saturday. The two families will take turns, and He Yuyu will also go home. , now the relationship between the brother and sister is much better.
Lights were turned on in several houses in the middle courtyard, and dim lights were scattered in the yard, giving it a feeling of early winter.
Looking at Jia’s house, there were also Chinese cabbages stacked under the windows. Most of the leaves on the big tree at the door have fallen off, leaving only a few that are still stubbornly fighting the north wind from time to time, making it desolate and desolate.
In order to wait for Zhu Xuefeng, this meal has been postponed a lot. Fortunately, everyone knows that Zhu Xuefeng always keeps his word. Since he said he would come back for dinner, he would definitely come back, otherwise he would have finished eating early.
The dishes were prepared early, and Shazhu went to heat them up again. Several people served the dishes and put them on the table. Shazhu also took off his apron and said with a smile.
"Brother, you are now darker than me, a little thinner, and look a lot stronger. It must be a difficult month."
"It's not bad. It’s just a bit cold, but fortunately I can still bear the cold. Besides, everyone is holding on, so there’s no reason why I can’t hold on, right?”
A few people sat down, and He Yuyu was responsible for adding grain rice. Zhu Feng was also hungry. I took a bite of green vegetables and took two bites.
“Brother Zhuzi, I heard that tomorrow the factory will hold the grading assessment for the second half of the year. Have you signed up?”
Silly Zhu stood up and took some more peanuts and a bottle of Erguotou.
"How can I not apply for it? I am still waiting to move up to another level. After so many years, I am still at level eight, which is embarrassing to say. Now that I have grown to level seven, I can get an extra six yuan a month. They are both old and young.”
(In the 1960s, there was no clear occupational grade division for cooks. The chefs in the factory were all paid at grade eight. According to the setting of most factories, grade nine was promoted to grade two.)
The grade examinations in the steel rolling mill are arranged on rest days in order to avoid affecting production. This idiot Zhu didn’t get along well with Director Zhang in the past few years. He was always stuck at grade eight. Now he is much more harmonious. Something will happen, and there should be no problem this time.
Silly Zhu took a sip, picked up the bottle and poured another glass, holding up the bottle and saying.
"Brother, why don't you drink some? I have been practicing for a month, and drinking something is just right to relieve fatigue."
Zhu Xuefeng has also been in the bath for a long time and is already hungry. Besides, he is stupid. The craftsmanship is much better than in the camp. I haven’t eaten in a month. How can I put down my chopsticks and chat now?
“I really don’t drink anymore. I have to go out soon. It’s not appropriate to do things while smelling drunk. Not to mention, I haven’t eaten your cooking for a month. I really miss you. I still feel comfortable eating like this. . ”
Si Zhu felt a little proud when he saw that Zhu Xuefeng was not drinking, but was frequently taking advantage of the dishes he cooked.
“Okay, I’m keeping an eye on you today. Fortunately, I know that you have been suffering in the ravine for a month and are more prepared. Everyone should hurry up and don’t let this kid get dragged out by himself.”
The two children and He Yuyu both ate quietly. Although they were also hungry, they did not gorge themselves like Zhu Xuefeng. They glanced at their elder brother from time to time, and the three of them slowly chatted for a few words.
"Eat, watch what I do. I'm not a dish. Don't look at me all the time. It's awkward to be watched while eating."
Silly Zhu was drinking on the side Drinking a little wine and secretly having fun, Zhu Xuefeng always looks calm and relaxed today. Today is an eye-opener. He is the same as when he is hungry and anxious.
"Then I'll drink alone. I've been waiting for you for a month before you come back, and you don't drink with me. It's boring."
Zhu Xuefeng has something in his stomach now, and he is slow down.
"You should drink less. There will be an assessment tomorrow. I will accompany you when I have the opportunity. I really need to go out later. You heard my little sister just now, Director Wang came to see me several times."
"Okay, you have to work first. If you have time, you have to help me look at it carefully. It's almost the end of the year. Brother, I am one year older."
Relationships are entangled with personal issues. , it’s good, but I’m afraid I won’t have any ideas and keep staring at a certain figure in the courtyard.
Nowadays, people work outside and are basically not seen in the compound. It seems that Silly Zhu’s thoughts are alive. The script is indeed a lot off.
A few people were already hungry, and no one drank with Sha Zhu. The meal was quickly finished, and the three brothers and sisters also left and went out. He Yuyu was packing the dishes and chopsticks, and talked to Sha Zhu.
It must be a family matter, so don't mix it up. The middle courtyard has completely quieted down. The lights in Jia's house and the first master's house are also on, but there is no movement at all. The atmosphere in the middle courtyard is still too quiet.
There were quarrels and children making noises in the outer yard and the backyard from time to time. There were also children in the front yard who did not come home. The three siblings greeted the people in the yard and returned home. The younger brother and sister began to report on the past month. matter. The fire in the room was burning slowly, and the temperature was quite suitable. I ate a little too fast just now, so I made some tea and listened to the little sister.
A few days after Zhu Xuefeng left for military training, Director Wang came over and left a message asking him to find time to visit his home when he came back.
Zhu Xuefeng probably left the letter last time. Uncle Kong has an idea.
Then there are things in the yard. Xu Damao’s parents came to take care of them. They came in and out without disturbing anyone. Also, Bangge had a fight with someone at school because someone said something about his father. The teacher Coming to the door.
It can’t be Teacher Ran, appearing on the scene so early?
Furthermore, the second uncle seemed to have had a quarrel with the workshop director in the factory. Nowadays, in the yard, the nose is always different from the nose, and the face is not the face. The two Liu brothers were beaten frequently.
Not surprisingly, it is because of the personnel in the new workshop. These have nothing to do with me and I no longer pay attention to them.
Ms. Jia Zhang lies at home every day, no longer gluing matchboxes. She says her feet are injured and can’t get off the ground. Qin Huairu also has a big belly. She goes out early and comes back late every day, but she thinks it’s a small thing. Throw it at aunt's house.
Some trivial things, thanks to my good memory, my little sister talked about them in detail for a long time.
"Stop talking about others, it's meaningless. How about you two? How are you studying? Are you still practicing? Is anyone bullying you?"
Now the little girl is proud and takes the initiative to report .
“Second brother’s academic progress is too slow. My mid-term scores are among the top ten in the class. Also, I can last for twenty-one minutes on horseback, which is better than my second brother.”
< br>Zhu Xuefeng touched the little girl's head. She jumped one level to be in the top ten. It seemed that she had worked hard.
"Xuemei performed well, second brother, you fell behind, what happened?"
Zhu Xuemei ignored Zhu Xuesong's pleading eyes and quickly dug out the drawer of her second brother. a book.
"Brother, the second brother is always reading this book, and the time is wasted. He wakes up later than me every day, and has to wake me up."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at the book cover and was a little surprised. .
“You also got a library card? Did you borrow this book yourself?”
Zhu Xuesong was caught and had to confess.
"I saw my eldest brother always going to the library and learned a lot of knowledge. I wanted to learn it too, but I fell in love with Xianshu."
Zhu Xuefeng looked at the title of the book, "The Battle of Sino-Japanese War" .
“It’s not a idle book. It’s good to read it when you have time to learn about history. But you must arrange your time well and don’t delay your study and practice. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not letting you read it.”
Zhu Xuesong was overjoyed that he was not criticized and quickly expressed his stance.
"Brother, don't worry. I promise not to delay my study and practice in the future. This, I will let my little sister supervise me."
"How did you come up with the idea of reading this book?"< br>
Zhu Xuesong hesitated for a moment, looked at his sister, and then at his eldest brother.
“The last time I went to the beach, I thought the sea was so magical. I couldn’t help but pick up this book when I saw it.”
“Okay, it’s no big deal. I can read it if I want to in the future. Look, as long as you don’t delay your studies and practice, Xuemei will supervise you.”
