Chapter 6: The Crisis of the Xiao Family
Back in the bedroom, Xiao Ming sat at the desk, the table was full of review materials for various subjects, unfortunately there was not a word on it, it was all used by Xiao Ming to pretend in the past.
Xiao Ming took out the spiritual reagent in his pocket, and the transparent glass bottle contained 150 ml of light blue reagent, which looked like a new variety of drink in the supermarket, which could arouse people's appetite.
Xiao Ming unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip, the familiar taste in the dream! It was the taste of Panfloxacin Spiritual Reagent.
After drinking the spiritual reagent in a few sips, Xiao Ming's head, which had been groggy all the time, became clear, and the state of the whole person was much better, and he was full of energy.
Xiao Ming didn't expect Pan Shaxing's garbage products to be so useful in this world.
Xiao Ming took out the English review materials, and after understanding his level, he knew that to take a good school, he only needed to seriously review Chinese and English, and these two subjects did not need to have a high score, just don't lag behind.
In Xiao Ming's past memory, English basically has no sense of existence, except for simple junior high school vocabulary and grammar, he can't do anything else.
Xiao Ming had to start from the very basics, but soon Xiao Ming summarized the grammar rules of English.
In the dream, as a technological warrior of Pansha, he invaded many low-level intelligent planets, and found that the English grammar was the same as the language grammar used by him to invade some low-level technological planets, and there was no distinction between yin and yang parts of speech.
Xiao Ming has studied these low-level languages and can master them well.
From eleven o'clock to three o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ming was not sleepy at all, and his whole physical state was also very comfortable, and he completely summarized most of the grammar of junior high and high school.
Grammar, Xiao Ming can basically master, the only difficulty is words.
The number of words and vocabulary in middle and high school adds up to about 4,000, and Xiao Ming's mind will not have more than 1,500 words.
Simple words such as what, you, and are Xiao Ming still knows and can write, but it is difficult to be more complex. In the composition of each English test, Xiao Ming uses only vocabulary to write, of course, it is full of mistakes.
With less than seven months to go before the college entrance examination, Xiao Ming has enough time to memorize words, knowing grammar and being able to memorize a certain number of words, Xiao Ming is confident that he will improve his English to more than 100 points.
Since then, only the subject of language is relatively weak, but Xiao Ming likes to read novels and has a certain fondness for language, so even if he doesn't take any measures, he won't back down too much.
Xiao Ming also formulated a strategy for Chinese review, listened carefully in class, did questions in exams, and the final results were followed. After all, language requires a long period of accumulation, and it is not the kind of subject that can be tested well through a year and a half of raids.
When Xiao Ming had made all the revision plans, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
Because of the help of spiritual reagents, Xiao Ming only needs to sleep for more than an hour to fully recover his energy without damaging his body.
He set the alarm clock (5:50) and fell asleep on the bed.
I have to find a way to earn more surprise points, this is Xiao Ming's last consciousness before going to bed.
At 5:50 in the morning, Xiao Ming got up energetically, put on short-sleeved shorts and prepared to go out for a morning jog to exercise.
If you want to take care of this weak skin, you can't just rely on spiritual reagents, you also need to exercise.
Earlier than Xiao Ming was his mother, He Hui, who was going to open at six o'clock at the food stall outside the family courtyard of the paper mill, so she had to get up at five o'clock to prepare and prepare meals for her husband, who was already going to school, who had returned early.
The greatest temperament of mother and wife is in full swing at this time.
"Why is it so early today?" He Hui was a little surprised, usually his son got up at half past six, took two buns and rushed to school to study early.
"Get out and exercise. Xiao Ming found a pair of yellowed sneakers to wear on his feet.
"It's such a cold day, you wear so little?" He Hui hurriedly said, "I'll get you a down jacket." ”
The winter in Jiangcheng is humid and cold, the temperature can be as low as minus two or three degrees in the morning, and there are condensation on the ground.
"No, breakfast doesn't matter to me, I'll go to school to eat. ”
Just when Xiao Ming was about to go out, Xiao Jianqiang also came back from the night shift, his face was sallow, and his mood was not very good.
Xiao Ming, who was at the door, vaguely heard Xiao Jianqiang talking to He Hui.
"The factory should optimize the sewage treatment workshop, say that the sewage treatment equipment should be upgraded to meet the current environmental protection standards, and the introduction of German equipment and college students, we who do not understand the technology of the old employees will be optimized. ”
Optimization is a self-deprecating statement of paper mill employees about laid-off.
The so-called optimization is to adjust employees who do not meet the position to other positions. Other positions are usually harder, less healthy, and less paid than the current one, and many employees can't stand it and will take the initiative to resign. If you take the initiative to resign, the paper mill will not have to make any compensation.
The paper mill does this to allow employees to voluntarily quit and save costs in the mill.
As soon as she heard the word "optimization", He Hui was taken aback and hurriedly said: "How can you be optimized! You are the technical backbone of the sewage treatment workshop, how can you be optimized." ”
He Hui was so anxious that she was about to cry, the net profit of the non-staple food store was only 1,000 yuan a month, and with Xiao Jianqiang's salary of 1,200 yuan, the family could barely live.
Now that prices are getting higher and higher, my son has to go to high school, and he will have to go to college in the future to pay tuition. If Xiao Jianqiang is optimized, the family's income will be reduced a lot, what should be done in the future?
"What workshop to go to?" He Hui asked, she knew that no matter how hard and tired Xiao Jianqiang would not resign, he was not unwilling to resign but did not dare to resign, he only had such a little technology in the paper factory workshop, no education and no culture, what could he do if he resigned?
"Raw material workshop, caustic soda pond. Xiao Jianqiang said: "Although the salary is only 1,000 yuan a month, there is a night allowance, and I can make up for it by working a few more night shifts." ”
"Caustic soda pond?" He Hui exclaimed, "No, you can't go to the caustic soda pond! This place is too harmful to the body, our upstairs Lao Li is working in the caustic soda pond, and in the end the whole lung is broken." He only left the year before last, he was only forty-three years old at a young age, and you know how painful it was when he left. ”
He Hui began to shed tears, "No! I won't allow you to work in the caustic soda pond!"
"It's okay, I'll take precautions. Xiao Jianqiang relieved this He Hui, how did he not know that the caustic soda pond was very harmful, and nine out of ten people who worked in it died of lung disease, but what can be done, the children are still so young, they still have to live.
Xiao Ming, who was at the door, was a little stiff when he heard the action of putting on shoes here, he used to live in the virtual world in a daze, and when he really faced reality, he was overwhelmed by the invisible pressure.
Now that you have started your life again, why can't you live this kind of hard life again?
Xiao Ming took a deep breath, he definitely can't live like that again!
