Shi Dayong bought several pickle jars, pickled several jars of pickles, the main raw material of leek flowers, cucumber twist in the leek flowers, and small peppers, and also made a jar of garlic eggplant lamb.

The family courtyard is not far from the farmer's vegetable field, Wang Ying led the child out for a walk, and saw a pile of eggplant stalks on the ridge, cucumber seedlings or something, egg-sized eggplant lambs were still hanging on the eggplant stalks, cucumbers twisted only to the length of fingers, asked the master family to not want, felt a pity, went home and brought a basket, picked several baskets, cucumbers and peppers were cleaned and pickled with leek flowers, the eggplant lamb was scratched and steamed with two knives, and the knife edge was smeared with layers of garlic paste into the jar. In the end, I didn't expect that there were several jars of pickling.

This saves trouble and money, and when you are busy and don't have time to cook, you can catch a plate of the same food, and it will be delicious to eat.

Wang Ying fried celery, adjusted celery leaves with garlic, and pulled out a few pickles.

Shi Dayong just picked up An An, holding Shi Xiang in one hand and An An in the other, and asked, "Fourth, where did you wander around?" ”

"Big brother is back." Ruimin raised the dictionary in his hand, "I didn't wander around, I found a place to learn words." ”

Ruimin really remembered what Wang Youyuan said, Shi Dayong's family has a few books, all of which are issued by the unit, and he usually doesn't read them, so Ruimin picks them up as a literacy textbook, and checks the dictionary when he encounters words he doesn't know, even if he usually writes letters to his hometown, he also writes while checking the dictionary, and there is a return for paying, as he recognizes more and more words, reading books and newspapers is no longer difficult for him.

"Okay, good literacy." Shi Dayong obviously appreciated his younger brother's habit, and said softly: "Let me tell you, the local government is going to recruit workers, the cement factory, and you will start signing up tomorrow, will you go?" ”

Looking at what the eldest brother said, do you still need to ask, this is a dream thing, Ruimin was ecstatic, couldn't hold back his excitement, and said urgently: "Go!" Of course you have to go! ”

Knowing that Ruimin had this expression, Shi Dayong smiled.

During the meal, Ruimin kept chattering and asking Shi Dayong, "Big brother, where is the cement factory, is it far from our house?" Are you tired or not? ”

Seeing that the fourth child was in a hurry, Shi Dayong smiled dumbly, "I only know that the cement factory is in the north, and I don't know the rest, I just heard from someone, and the specific situation will be said when I arrive at the scene tomorrow." ”

"Oh, big brother, I don't know what the cement factory does."

"Then who knows, it's too early to say that, wait until you recruit a job and then study what to do."

After eating, the initial excitement passed, and it occurred to Ruimin that the most important problem he faced was his eyes, and his vision would definitely not be up to par during the physical examination.

Ruimin moved a small bench, sat next to Dayong, and said in a snort: "Big brother, you look at my eyes, what should I do with my eyes, I can't see if it's farther and darker, what should I do when the time comes?" ”

"Well, that's a real thing." Shi Dayong pinched his chin and thought, he lit a cigarette, as he inhaled, the cigarette butt emitted a red light, Shi Dayong couldn't help but say: "When the time comes, I'll go in with you, don't look at anything else when you check your eyesight, just look at my brother's cigarette butt, I will point to the left with the cigarette butt facing left, and you will say it with my cigarette butt facing up, in short, which side my cigarette butt is pointing to, do you hear it?" ”

Big brother's method is good, Ruimin nodded vigorously, and his face collapsed again in a blink of an eye, "Then big brother, what if they don't let you in then?" ”

Shi Dayong slapped his younger brother on the back of the head, "You crow's mouth, you haven't gone yet, you have to think in a bad direction first, you can't think of something good, and you can go to work if you don't need anything at that time." ”

"Can't you?" Ruimin rubbed his head, "If you can be admitted just by applying, then not a fool can go to work." ”

The next day, before he woke up, Ruimin got up, he first boiled hot water, washed his hair and face, and then cleaned the stubble with a razor, found his best clothes to wear, put on a hat, and looked back and forth in front of the mirror several times, and then coughed several times with satisfaction.

Sun Xiufang didn't speak when he called people to get up, just coughed dry not far from you, coughed twice without waking up, and coughed endlessly before waking up twice, so you had to wake up noisy.

"Okay, don't cough the fourth, it's going to kill you." Others didn't wake up, Sun Xiufang woke up first, the two were close, bed to bed, Shi Dayong's family was in the back room, the distance was a little far away and hadn't been disturbed, or Shi Dayong heard it, pretending not to hear.

Shi Dayong really heard it, what time was it, it was seven miles outside, he opened one eye in a daze and looked at the watch, and when he saw that it was still early, the watch was thrown to the pillow, and he turned his head and fell asleep again.

Sun Xiufang couldn't do it, she couldn't sleep anymore when she woke up, she got dressed in a hurry, went to the thatched house first, and when she came back from the thatched house, she saw that the two people in the back room were still sleeping without any movement, she was not satisfied, and began to cough through the door curtain.

If his mother was so deafening in the past, Ruimin would have to scold her twice, but today he was afraid that his mother's voice would be low and the eldest brother would not be able to hear it, if they were late, what should they do if they recruit enough people and don't want him at that time? So Ruimin also helped Sun Xiufang in the interval between coughs, coughing a few times from time to time.

With the unremitting efforts of Sun Xiufang's mother and son, Wang Ying was finally woken up, her mother hadn't committed this problem for a long time, what happened today, she listened attentively and understood in her heart.

Wang Ying stretched his foot to the side and kicked Shi Dayong's calf.

"Oops." Shi Dayong was in pain, opened his eyes and glared at Wang Ying, Wang Ying's mouth turned out, and motioned for him to listen.

Alas! Get up, I can't sleep, Shi Dayong sat up and began to get dressed.

Sun Xiufang heard a movement in the back room, so she stopped coughing and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Sun Xiufang originally wanted to burn the pot stick and make a mess, and then slip some steamed buns, just forget about the pickles and delicious food, but later considering that her son was going to sign up today, Tujili changed her mind and ordered noodles, just hoping that Ruimin could recruit workers smoothly and smoothly.

When they arrived at the cement factory, the two of them still came early, although there were already people in line, but none of the staff had been seen.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a new factory covering an area of several hundred acres is built on the mountain, the office area is in the east of the entire plant, a brand new three-story building, the west is the production area, some boxy, there is also a row of large cylinders towering to the sky, listening to the whispers of the people next to them, knowing that these factories are called kilns.

Gradually, there are more and more people, looking back and forth, there should be hundreds of people, and I don't know how many people are accepted in the factory, the two brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes, the eldest brother began to worry, and Ruimin's heart sank.

Finally began, Ruimin followed the flow of people with trepidation.

At the first level, registration, the staff said in an expressionless voice: "Hukou book." ”

"Here, here." Ruimin hurriedly took out the household registration book from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

The staff wrote in the notebook: Shi Ruimin, twenty-eight, and then asked: "Education level." ”

"I ...... I was in elementary school. Speaking of education level, Ruimin began to be nervous, he only went to primary school for two years and never went to school again, and he didn't know if his education level was up to standard, he secretly swallowed his saliva and observed the expression of the staff.

The staff didn't blink an eye, and after recording his basic information, he turned the notebook, pointed to a blank space and said, "You sign your name here." ”

He will, and he practiced well, Ruimin's efforts this year finally came in handy, he wrote his name one by one, and turned the notebook over, "Comrade, okay?" ”

"The handwriting is pretty good." The staff raised his eyes and glanced at Ruimin, the young man was also very energetic, he nodded, handed a form to Ruimin, pointed to the office building behind him and said, "Go inside for a physical examination." ”

At this time, there are not many people with culture, the factory recruits people who can make great efforts, in terms of culture, as long as they can read and write, they can write, and they are not prepared for the cultural course examination, and they directly enter the physical examination stage.

"Phew." Ruimin breathed a sigh of relief, that is, the first level was passed, and he shouted Shi Dayong, "Big brother!" He pointed his finger at Xiao Lou.

Shi Dayong understood, nodded slightly, and followed Ruimin while others were not paying attention.

The physical examination was not too cumbersome, the height was measured, the blood was drawn, the electrocardiogram was measured, etc., and the two brothers waited for all the examinations to be done before they went to the office to check their eyesight.

Shi Dayong was thinking about fishing in troubled waters, so he pulled Ruimin and waited at the door for a while, until there were several people in the house before walking in with Ruimin.

There are a lot of people, there are people standing anywhere, you just don't block the middle position, Shi Dayong secretly moved forward, until he moved to the side of the eye chart, secretly lit a cigarette, and when Ruimin was finished, he hugged his shoulder, the cigarette was in the direction of the eye chart, and quietly winked at Ruimin.

Ruimin sat on the bench and saw the eldest brother in front of him at a glance, his anxious heart instantly stabilized, and according to what the eldest brother taught yesterday, he stared at the cigarette butt of the eldest brother.

There are still a lot of people waiting for the examination, and the doctor is not too careful to observe, this young man has good eyesight, even the smallest group can see clearly, he put down the stick in his hand, took Ruimin's form, and wrote on it, left eye: 1.5, right eye: 1.5.

The doctor saw that all the examination items had been completed, and kindly reminded Ruimin, "Comrade, all your items have been completed, just hand over the form to the last office." ”

When Ruimin wrote down two 1.5s on his table from the doctor, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and thanked him repeatedly, "Doctor, thank you, I don't know when the results will be available." ”

The doctor handed the form back to Ruimin and said, "One week, the list will be posted directly at the factory gate, and you can just come and see it in a week." ”
