Chapter 5 Promising Youth
Zhou Jianhua was stared at by the little beauty who suddenly became a little cold and glamorous on the other side but didn't speak, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little hairy, and suddenly wondered if his face was too dirty to be observed by others as a guinea pig, and quickly wiped his face with his hand, seeing that the little beauty was still staring at him quietly, he rubbed his sleeve on his face a few times, and raised his head again nervously and crampedly to observe the expression on the girl's face.
The long-haired girl saw that the big boy was also nervous under his own obscenity, full of panic and messy look, it was really funny, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then snorted proudly with the demeanor of a victor, and sneered disdainfully: "Don't wipe it, the more you erase it, the darker it will be." The ice beauty instantly transformed into a bright-eyed, smart and cute girl.
"I can only bring out your brilliance if I discredit myself!" Zhou Jianhua had no choice but to put on a high-spirited demeanor of "I don't go to hell, who will go down".
Hearing that the other party was praising herself for being beautiful again, the girl lowered her head embarrassedly again, but she was a little proud in her heart, and she felt very useful.
The girl had a sense of superiority in her heart, so she was no longer cramped, lowered her head and picked up the abacus beads, and quickly calculated: "Five pieces and six cents two!" In addition, one cigarette ticket is required for each pack of cigarettes, and one cigarette ticket is ten cigarette tickets! ”
"Cigarette ticket?!" Zhou Jianhua was stunned for a moment, yes, where did he get the cigarette tickets, and then asked: "How much are ten cigarette tickets?" He knew that some people who didn't smoke just took the cigarette tickets and exchanged them for eggs, and since they could be exchanged for eggs, they could be exchanged for money.
"Two cents a piece, ten two dimes. It's a total of five pieces and eight cents. The girl replied with disdain in her heart: I didn't buy cigarettes with cigarette tickets, what a loser!
Zhou Jianhua took out the three big unity cards folded together, drew one and handed it over.
The girl took the money, and was secretly surprised that this loser actually carried so much money with him! Why is a small miner so rich, this money can't be from the wrong way, right? So while looking for money for Zhou Jianhua, she asked tentatively: "Have you paid wages in the mine?" ”
"Hehe, it's not a salary, it's a bonus." Zhou Jianhua glanced at the girl's white and slender little hand while receiving the money.
"Bonus?! So many bonuses in the mine?! The girl exclaimed, thought for a moment and said, "Impossible! My dad said that even the mine manager of Tonglin Coal Mine doesn't get so much bonus - what are you doing in the mine? ”。
"Uh~~~ Electrical maintenance, I helped the mine repair a piece of equipment, and this money is a special reward from the mine manager."
Zhou Jianhua replied that he would start working in the mechanical repair class tomorrow, and it is estimated that he will focus on electrical equipment maintenance in the future.
"No wonder ......" the girl muttered, saying that she didn't expect this loser to be a promising young man, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Jianhua carefully a few times, and asked:
"You do appliance repairs? Would you fix a TV then? ”
"Huh? Yes! Zhou Jianhua knew that this girl was wrong, and he heard "electrical" as "electrical", and he didn't bother to correct her. In his previous life, he was a top expert in the field of electronic information, and of course it was not a problem to fix a TV set by playing radar.
"That-uh~~~ My TV is broken, can you help me take a look?" The girl asked in a hesitant voice. It's a bit abrupt to ask someone to help you do things when you just know them.
"Yes! However, I don't have time today, and ...... Well......" Zhou Jianhua said that he wanted to say that he had not received maintenance tools yet, but he felt that it was difficult to explain, how could people engaged in electrical maintenance not have tools.
"Don't worry, I'll give you how much money you should charge for repairing it!" When the girl saw Zhou Jianhua squeaking, she thought that he wanted to say that she wanted to pay for maintenance and was embarrassed to speak, so she added: "I could have taken it to the county town to find someone to repair it, but it was a bit far away and not very convenient." ”
"That's not what I mean, I won't collect the money, it's just that I don't have time today, I'll come to you another day when I'm free." Zhou Jianhua replied happily in his mouth, but in his heart he was scolding himself for being so cheap, he was not a hero who had passed the beauty pass after all.
"Okay! Then thank you! The girl was very happy and smiling like a flower.
"When are you usually convenient?"
"We have to go to work during the day, but there are several of us, and it doesn't matter if we have something to do and leave someone temporarily, anyway, there are not many people who usually buy things; In the evening, it can be used any day. ”
"Well, I'll come to you in two days, what do you call you?"
"My name is Cai Xueying, what about you?"
"My name is Zhou Jianhua - hmm...... There's still someone waiting for me outside, and I need to get out of here. ”
Zhou Jianhua picked up his things, paused, and said, "Xueying, I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long today, Xie Lu thank you." ”
"Hehe, what are you talking about, I'm going to trouble you." Hearing that Zhou Jianhua omitted his surname and called his name directly, Cai Xueying couldn't help but have a strange feeling in her heart. Thinking of the big boy's eyes that paid attention to him before, Cai Xueying's face became hot again.
In this era, generally only very close people will call him by his first name, where did she know that with Zhou Jianhua's social habits in his previous life, omitting his surname and calling him by his first name has long been an expression of friendship and team spirit among friends and colleagues.
Zhou Jianhua carried the things he bought with one hand, and helped Cai Xueying close the bulky wooden store door with the other. Cai Xueying locked the door, unlocked the bicycle parked on the side of the store, said goodbye to Zhou Jianhua, and rode away.
At this time, Lin Yongliang was already waiting outside the store with a cart, and when he saw that Zhou Jianhua and Cai Xueying were very familiar, he asked Zhou Jianhua: "Do you know each other?" ”
Zhou Jianhua smiled: "I just met." ”
"Do you know who she is?" Lin Yongliang asked again.
"Her name is Cai Xueying." Zhou Jianhua turned his head to look at Cai Xueying's back and muttered.
"Do you know who her father is?" Lin Yongliang asked again.
"Huh? I don't know what to do. Zhou Jianhua replied, he vaguely felt that Cai Xueying's family would not be an ordinary family.
"His father is Cai Zhongming, the secretary of our Tonglin Commune." Lin Yongliang said mysteriously.
In his early years, Lin Yongliang used to be the deputy leader of the Lin family production team of the Xiangyang Brigade of the Tonglin Commune, and although Lin Yongliang did not hold any more positions after the land was contracted to households, the production brigade was restructured into the village committee, and the production team was restructured into the villagers' group, although Lin Yongliang did not hold any more positions, he was still quite familiar with the leaders of the departments at the village committee and the commune.
"Oh......" Zhou Jianhua replied, didn't say anything more, and handed the whole Evergrande cigarette and one of the two packs of hairtail fish he had just bought to his cousin.
"What is this for? I can't ask for it. Lin Yongliang excused himself: "You have money to save, it's too wasteful to buy so many such expensive cigarettes." Your family is short of money. ”
Zhou Jianhua forced the thing into his cousin's hand and said, "Uncle, you have been taking care of our family all these years, and this little thing is really nothing, just a little bit of my heart, you can accept it." At the end of the year, you always have to stock up on some New Year's goods at home, and it doesn't cost much to get this stuff. There will be many places that need to be taken care of by my uncle in the future. ”
Lin Yongliang thought about it, didn't shirk it again, took the gift, and said with emotion: "Okay, I'm welcome...... Alas! Seeing you guys, you've really grown up......"
The two said goodbye and watched their cousin turn around and get on the gravel road, and Zhou Jianhua also rode on the car and rushed east along the asphalt road to his home.
Zhou Jianhua thought while riding, today suddenly from 2027, the original life as Zheng Zhi has been gone, and it is useless to think about it anymore, the top priority is to adapt to the current identity as soon as possible and solve the immediate problem of survival and development.
On the way home, Zhou Jianhua was trying to extract the memories of Zhou Jianhua before, and tried to recall the people and things related to Zhou Jianhua. Come to think of it, this is the homework that every character who crosses must do.
It turned out that Zhou Jianhua was still a little stubborn when he was a child, very naughty, and from time to time he caused a little trouble, and it was common for him to be sued by his neighbors or punished by teachers before he was in junior high school. Zhou Jianhua rarely got into trouble after he was in junior high school, but he was still more playful, and his grades were very average.
Zhou Jianhua has a younger sister Zhou Lihua who is 2 years younger than himself and a younger brother Zhou Ronghua who is 4 years younger, they have always been his loyal fans and hardcore followers before Zhou Jianhua went to junior high school, no matter where Zhou Jianhua goes, they will follow inseparably together, even if they have been punished by their parents many times for following Zhou Jianhua for being naughty, they are still obedient to Zhou Jianhua and never give up, so that his father has no choice but to say that they are "Gang of Three".
Later, Zhou Jianhua went to study in the county No. 1 middle school, which was far away from home, and had a lot less time to play with his sister and younger brother. In addition, my father died of illness two years ago, and my mother was an agricultural householder, and the family's economy became strained. In order to support the family, in addition to planting some land to sell some vegetables, her mother also had to go out to do odd jobs often, and most of the burden of housework fell on her sister Zhou Lihua.
Zhou Lihua graduated from primary school half a year ago, and her mother did not let her continue to study in junior high school with excellent grades, but stayed at home to do housework. After leaving school, Zhou Lihua, who was lively and lovely, is no longer as cheerful as before, and her thinking is becoming more and more independent.
And the third Zhou Ronghua also slowly became quiet, every day after school, he would go home and stay in the room to do homework, or read some borrowed extracurricular reading materials, and often did some small productions and small inventions by himself, but he also enjoyed it. According to later generations, his younger brother Zhou Ronghua can be regarded as a little otaku.
Zhou Jianhua rushed back while recalling his past experience, and the time passed quickly unconsciously, and when Zhou Jianhua rode to the Jiancheng County Seed Farm, it was already completely dark.
