Chapter 5 Struggle for Work
"Take your time."
People are heavy, Chen Jingnian sighed.
This was the first time in his life that he felt the weight of human debt.
In the evening, I poured the steaming fish soup on top of the rice, watched the girl holding the rice, muttering like a mantra on her mouth, and picking up the fish bones in the fish meat with chopsticks in her hand as if they were panning for gold.
Chen Jingnian thought of his sister who spoke and acted vigorously and resolutely, and never dragged his feet, and then recalled the dull silence of the original owner, as the only child of the post-80s, he deeply realized what it means to have nine sons in this life, and the children are different.
Hearing a special friction sound, Chen Jingnian stood up and said, "Brother, go to the fifth uncle, you eat slowly." ”
"Okay."
Nan Nan nodded, picked up a spoonful of soup and rice, put a piece of fish on top of the rice, and put it in her mouth beautifully.
Walking into the main room and seeing a bird feather on Li Xianwen's body, Chen Jingnian grinned happily.
He had killed a chicken once in his previous life, and the smell of the chicken's stomach was not fully fermented, so he couldn't eat the chicken for several years.
Even after crossing over, Chen Jingnian still deeply remembers the taste.
"I've taken the mouse pill, and I'm laughing in a daze."
Li Xianwen sat on the kang and scolded with a straight face.
"Fifth uncle, don't keep your face strained."
Chen Jingnian hooked a stool with his foot, sat on it, and continued in a calm tone: "What about this, we have said it three hundred times, why can't you think about it." Isn't it just dropping out of school? If I don't drop out of school, you let my godfather and godmother marry my daughter-in-law, and take me and my daughter to take it out, what kind of marriage is this, isn't this a pit person! ”
"Your godfather and godmother are not chicken thieves, and besides, your sister is studying in a normal school, so you don't need to spend money, and the state will give you a subsidy every month, just you and Nannan, the three of us can't afford to support the two of you!"
Li Xianwen waved his hand impatiently, one face with two expressions, the right side of the face was indignant, and the left side of the face was angry.
"Let's put it this way, Fifth Uncle, what do you do if you change it."
Chen Jingnian looked at Li Xianwen's face like a jade-faced Shura and sighed.
Li Xianwen was once again stopped by the same sentence, clenched his fists, and burst into a bone sound, and was speechless for a long time.
The evening breeze came in through the window, disturbing the somewhat solemn atmosphere.
Li Xianwen was in a trance for a moment and sighed, "Let's not mention this, but what's the matter with you entering the factory, I don't object to you entering the factory, but why do you want to go to the defense department!" Enter the factory at least learn a craft to be a mechanic, riveting and welding of the tongs, which does not earn money to eat, and can also rate the salary, if you nod, I will go to Lao Yi and let him accept you as an apprentice. ”
"Fifth uncle, don't."
Chen Jingnian hurriedly pressed his hand and stepped forward to take away the handband, "My uncle, don't forget how my dad died, and what my mom said before leaving." ”
"You're embarrassed to tell me this, but your mother said that your lungs are not good and won't let you enter the factory."
Li Xianwen snatched the handband, fell to the side, and whispered.
"My mother didn't let me enter the factory because she didn't want me to enter the workshop, because she was afraid that I, like my father, would get sick by inhaling exhaust fumes and oil mist. That's why I asked my godfather and sixth uncle to help. ”
Chen Jingnian moved the stool forward and grinned wider: "Besides, you don't want to think about it, tight turner, slow fitter, unhurried miller, hanger Lang is an electrician, shameless is a welder, tired is a riveter, what do you say I am suitable for?" There is also a three-year apprentice in the workshop, riveting and welding of the tongs, three shifts in the day and night, and each wheel is on once, how do you say I can take care of the baby. It's not that you don't know that this girl is timid, my sister has always slept with her before, just now when I was cooking, people moved my futon rolls to the kang, and said to give me the kang. ”
"Then you can't go to the defense department, what kind of place is the defense department, the group of bear soldiers under his Li devil is not a fart. Besides, how can you do it without craftsmanship in this world, how to get promoted and raise your salary, and how can you marry a daughter-in-law and support your family by relying on your seniority. ”
The more Li Xianwen spoke, the more excited he became, and he raised his head and asked: "You kid went to the security department just to touch the gun, I can tell you, the fortune teller can say, you can't tinker with firearms." ”
"Hey, my bow is no stronger than a gun! I haven't had recoil yet, and I can't hit anyone in the left eye within thirty or forty meters. ”
Chen Jingnian wants to enter the security department just to be lazy, and plans to be an internal worker, so at this time he speaks very sincerely, "I just want to mix the errand of the province first, I am a high school graduate, although I do not have cadre status like college students and secondary school students, but entering the factory is also calculated according to the treatment of secondary school students, internship 37 yuan per month, a year later, 42 yuan 5, this is better than the apprentice to get 18 yuan 5 per month, ra and then have to wait three years to complete the apprenticeship." In the past three years, I have grown up, and when I get to do some small business, you don't see who got fat first in our area, Aunt Liu, the head of the alley, is a matchmaker here, and there is a stealing exchange of food stamps and cloth stamps, and it is said that the old lady is in the Beixinqiao intersection that flat trip. ”
"She's opportunistic, that's what you can do, catch a sign and parade the street to be sentenced, and besides, she is a shameless person who did half-open the door before, you can still be shameless at a young age, if you really hang a sign and parade on the street, you won't be alive in the future."
Li Xianwen nodded at Chen Jingnian and motioned for him to shut up.
"Isn't that what this is all about, and I mean I can't starve. If you really can't eat, I'll follow you to drink porridge, and you can still pick me up. ”
Chen Jingnian wanted to pretend to be a fool, but he lost to the skin given by his parents, without a trace of anger, and looked like he was coquettish.
"Uh, don't talk to me here, you are the water life, I am the earth life, our two sons are born to deal with each other, why don't you accept you as a godson, I don't count in my heart, drink porridge, eat fart, you inside."
Li Xianwen's heart softened when he looked at Chen Jingnian's appearance, and the words in his mouth turned into the usual ridicule, "Also, why is your accent more and more like Li Mancang." ”
"Saying that people are speculating, you are not much better, spreading feudal superstitions."
Chen Jingnian saw that Li Xianwen's words were soft, and he knew that the knot about his work had finally been untied, and he also changed the topic, "Eating big ballast all day long, can you not taste big ballast." ”
"Feudal superstition, hey!"
Li Xianwen glanced at Chen Jingnian, smiled mysteriously, and fell back, "Young master, you better walk as soon as possible." ”
"Fifth uncle, you rest."
Chen Jingnian didn't pay attention to the smile shown by Li Xianwen, didn't say anything more, got up and brought the door, and returned to the east wing with the sparrow soaked in pepper water.
In the kitchen, Nan Nan was putting the washed dishes and chopsticks on the grid, and when he came back, he happily shook the water droplets on his hand, and shouted: "Brother, the third master just returned our axe, and I still have to listen to Liu Luoguo today." ”
"First take the ten mouth arithmetic questions, make one mistake, and you will sell charcoal on my back."
Li Yangbian covered the basin with a curtain, took off the handkerchief of the two from the rope and put it on his shoulder, squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, and handed it to Nannan.
"It can't be more than three digits."
Nan Nan took the toothbrush, shared a jar with her brother, brushed the toothbrush, and washed her face.
After Chen Jingnian brushed his teeth, he blew out two small balls of waste paper from his nose before washing his face.
After being reborn, Chen Jingnian found that his control over his body had reached a whole new level. If he hadn't been older, after the second stage of secondary school, he would have wanted to learn wombats and try to make a square one.
In addition, his senses have become extremely acute, and the new sense of sight, smell and taste has brought him many new sensations and caused a lot of disturbances.
Among them, the sense of sight and taste has little impact on his daily life, but this sense of smell really makes him difficult for a while, and he has experienced the pain of a dog for a long time.
In the end, there was really no way, so he collected some waste paper every day, plugged his nose a little, and more than three years passed before he slowly got used to it.
After changing the basin and washing the feet, the garbage pulled the shoes and poured out the foot-washing water, and the brother and sister got into the bed.
Chen Jingnian lives in Kangtou, and this weather is not cold at all, so there is no difference between Kangtou and Kangtou.
Chen Jingnian gave Nan Nan a few questions through the curtain, this little guy perfectly inherited his mother's mathematical talent, the mixture of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division was faster than Chen Jingnian's calculations, Chen Jingnian gave him a few simple Olympiad problems, Nan Nan thought about it and answered it.
In order to ensure that there is a story to hear, the number was deliberately repeated, and the answer was said after two recalculations.
When a little foot that crossed the line was on Chen Jingnian's leg, Chen Jingnian spoke slowly about Liu Baorui's stand-up comedy monarch and minister.
The previous talk was exaggerated, which made the little girl with a very low laugh happy, and then it was much more flat, and when the sound of steady breathing came from the curtain side, he got up and blew out the kerosene lamp.
I'm going to work tomorrow, and Chen Jingnian, who doesn't know anything about the factory and is lying under the covers, is a little apprehensive.
The trajectory of his life in his previous life was completely in accordance with his parents' wishes, and he basically lay down.
If you want to wear a police uniform and take the police academy, okay! As a result, he reported to the prison guards.
After being assigned a job, he was transferred to the Prison Administration Division after his internship, and worked leisurely in administrative work for more than ten years.
The older you get, the more comfortable you are at lying down.
In order to lie down more comfortably, I slowly began to learn to maintain my health, not only soaked wolfberries in the thermos cup, but also learned to make some dietary supplements and medicinal diets, and my awareness of self-protection became stronger and stronger.
But who would have thought that he would take the shuttle bus near the emergency door, and he would cross because he watched a video of the courtyard full of love.
After a night of silence, Chen Jingnian opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the ceiling of newspaper paste.
After the crossing, he was extraordinarily energetic, and as long as he slept two or three hours a day, he could be mentally busy all day.
He washed his face with cold water, pulled out the ashes, stuffed it with hay and firewood, and lit a fire.
First blanched the mother-in-law, the green onion pot boiled in the pot, added water, boiled the corn paste after the water boiled, and then poured in the mother-in-law when the paste was almost ready, and boiled the rice.
Put out the corn paste, brush the pot with water, put the curtain on the hot five cornmeal cakes.
Go into the house and tell the girl to get up, and wait for the little girl to rub her eyes and wash. Chen Jingnian took out a bowl of stick batter and two pieces of fat cake, and sent a small plate of dried radish to Li Xianwen.
He came out of Li Xianwen's house with a dirty bucket, poured it into the public toilet at the mouth of the alley with his own family, scooped two scoops of water to wash the dirty bucket again, and then solved his big personal problems, and the morning's work was over.
On the way back from the toilet, I said hello all the way. At this time, most of them waved their hands and nodded, if someone came to say, "Have you eaten?" You inside", don't bother, it's a two-five-eyed one properly.
