Daddy Academy

Chapter 1062 Live and Learn (3)

"What's the matter today?"

Back home, his wife Yang Lan asked Chen Yungui with concern, and felt that Lao Chen seemed to be preoccupied, as if something had happened, probably because of work.

Although the content of their cleaning work is relatively simple, it seems that there is no trivial matter of intrigue, but in fact there are many troubles. There are so many owners in the community, and one small matter for each household can make them burnt out. This kind of complaint, no matter how well you do, there are never fewer people who raise opinions and pick faults.

"No." Lao Chen responded, turned and left, "I'll go and lock the iron gate of the yard."

He went out the door and walked through the dark yard. With the moonlight and the light inside the door, the path paved on the dirt was clearly visible.In order to save electricity, their house will turn off the lights in the yard at night.

When he reached the gate, he probed around and looked outside the house. It was pitch black, and the deep alley seemed endless.There is no one in the alley, no sound at all, not even cats and dogs come here.It's deserted enough during the day, but it's more like an empty city at night.

Chen Yungui locked the iron door and went back to the house. His wife Yang Lan was taking care of Xiaonian brushing his teeth and washing his face. Seeing him coming back, he asked again, "Is there really nothing wrong?"

Xiao Nian turned his head to look at his grandfather, grinned and said, "Is there really nothing wrong with Grandpa?"

"Really not." Chen Yungui touched the little man's little head, he didn't plan to talk about the post of plumber, it's just an idea now, he didn't say anything, and it's not even up to him whether he can do it or not.

"School will start in a few days. Have you prepared a schoolbag for her? The previous one seems too old. Give her a new one," he said.

"I'll buy one tomorrow," Yang Lan said.

Xiao Nian was very happy: "I want Little Rabbit's new schoolbag."

"Okay, I bought a little rabbit." Yang Lan said.

While Xiaonian was happy, he was also a little worried, "Will it be too expensive?"

"Why do children care about this?" Chen Yungui said.

Yang Lan felt sorry for Xiaonian, "Wipe your face again, we are going to bed."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that Lao Xu was fired today." Chen Yungui thought for a while and said.

……

During the summer vacation, Xiaonian would go to work with her grandparents. She stayed at the work site to play while her grandparents went to work.Xiaonian is very obedient and won't run around. If you tell her to stay and don't walk around, she will never walk around, which is very reassuring.

This day, Xiaonian came to the community with his grandparents as usual. The work site is on the first floor of the basement, and the other two staff members are also there. When they saw Xiaonian coming, they teased her. Find a lollipop in your pocket and give it to her.

They can often see this yellow-haired child during this summer vacation. Everyone in this line of work has a hard time learning. No one has to. No one wants the child to stay in the basement all day. The air circulation here is not good, and it is dull and humid all the year round. , so it is necessary to take care of each other.

Lao Chen still drove the sweeper to work, Yang Lan was also busy, leaving Xiaonian alone at the workstation.Sitting on a small stool, she took out a brand new pink box from the old schoolbag, opened it carefully, looked at the plasticine in different colors and was reluctant to use it, and kept giggling...

Lao Chen and Yang Lan are on the day shift today and get off work at [-]:[-] pm. They washed their hands, changed their clothes, and took Xiao Nian with them to leave.

Their fellow villagers appeared again, greeted Xiaonian with a smile, and gave her a bottle of milk.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Xiaonian said obediently.

"You're welcome, drink more milk to grow strong."

He came to see Lao Chen and asked how he was thinking about yesterday's matter.

Lao Chen pulled him outside under the shade of a tree, thought for a while and said, "How about I try?"

"Just try it. It doesn't matter if you don't pass. Trying is always an opportunity. I asked, the exam is divided into written test and practical operation. You must have no problem with practical operation. The main thing is the written test. If you have to do the questions, you may You have to study in a hurry. But you don’t have to worry, it is said that the written test is very simple, there is a book called "Plumber Operation Guide", many questions are covered in it, almost exactly the same, I will buy it for you tomorrow."

"No, no, I'll buy the book myself. It's called "Handbook for Plumbers and Electricians", right?"

"That's the name."

The fellow left after talking, Lao Chen returned to the work site, called Yang Lan and Xiaonian to leave the community, and when he went out the gate, he saw a small car accident at the gate.A car about to enter the community knocked down a small electric donkey passing by the door. A middle-aged woman was sitting on the ground, and a man and a woman stood beside her. The man was calling the traffic police, and the woman was squatting on the ground asking The case of middle-aged women.

There was no blood on the ground, and the woman sitting on the ground was fine except for her pale face, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Old Chen took a few glances, but didn't come forward to watch, and left with his wife and granddaughter, telling him: "Be careful when you go out. There are so many cars now, it's very dangerous."

Xiao Nian nodded obediently, her little hand was held by her grandma, and said crisply: "Xiao Bai said, we can take the subway and drill around underground, and there will be no danger, right? Grandpa?"

"Yes, the subway is convenient and safe."

"I haven't taken the subway yet? Can children take it?"

"I'll take you to sit."

The three of them went down from a subway station, took Line 2 to a nearby shopping mall, and picked out a small blue schoolbag for Xiaonian, with the pattern of a bunny printed on it, which she liked very much.

There is a bookstore in the shopping mall, Lao Chen hesitated, "Sit in the bookstore?"

Yang Lan smiled and said, "Do you want to buy books?"

"It doesn't matter if you just sit down." Old Chen said.

Xiao Nian was very interested in picture books, and was reading various picture books accompanied by his grandmother, while Lao Chen wandered around looking for the "Plumber's Operation Guide".

The bookshelves are lined up in rows, and the books are densely packed. He doesn’t know how to use a machine to check the bibliography. Some people came and went to inquire, and when there was no one else, he went up and tried it. When he looked at it, he seemed to understand it, but he still couldn't use it.

"Do you need my help?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl passed by, saw his predicament, and asked proactively.

"I'm looking for a book called The Plumber's How-to."

"Okay, I'll take a look, oh, I found it, here it is."

The girl reported a string of numbers and letter codes, and Lao Chen was confused, so the girl took the initiative to take him there, took the book out of the shelf, and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

Lao Chen flipped through this "Plumber's Operation Guide", there are text and pictures, which is easy to understand, but when he saw the price tag, he couldn't help hesitating, such a book costs 35 yuan!

But thinking that if he could pass the exam, his salary would double, so he decided to bite the bullet and buy it.

He took the book to find his wife and Xiaonian, and they sat at the desk by the window to read a book, Xiaonian read a picture book, and Yang Lan looked around until he saw him appear, and then looked away.

"Where have you been? It's been so long." Yang Lan complained.

"I found a book."

Lao Chen sat down next to Xiaonian, and Xiaonian said happily, "Grandpa, the little animals in the picture book are so cute."

"Do you understand?"

"I look at the pictures, Xiaobai also looks at the pictures."

"What book are you looking for?" Yang Lan interrupted and asked.

"Handbook for Plumbers."

"Why did you suddenly see this? Does the water and electricity at home need to be repaired?"

"Today Xiao Chen told me that I can fight for the job after Lao Xu leaves."

"plumber?"

"It's a plumber. It is said that the salary is much higher than my current salary. I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't delay anything."

……

After listening to Lao Chen's introduction, Yang Lan finally knew what was going on.She agreed very much and encouraged Lao Chen to work harder.

　The writing is slow, and a story needs to be written for several days, so it seems to be intermittent, and the experience is not good, but please be patient and comment after I finish writing this short story. Don’t worry, I won’t be depressed. , are all warm little stories.

　　Among them, the one I am talking about now is about the Xiaonian family, with Chen Yungui as the protagonist, and the theme is struggle.

　　We usually talk about the struggle of young people, and the process is passionate, but if we talk about the struggle of an older person, I think the blood will be less, and it will be more warm and touching, and it will better interpret the theme of "struggle". .

　　This book can't always write about cute babies, cute babies are very cute, but many small stories derived from cute babies are very warm.

　　In fact, when writing the outline, the setting is to talk about the cute baby first, and then tell the family stories behind the cute baby. Zhang Tan and Xiao Bai are not absolute protagonists, and they will not appear in chapters, but they will solve problems for these families. , they are the ones who find the buttons and button them.

　　I originally prepared this book, but when I was summarizing it, I felt so regretful that many things were not written and many stories were not told. Now, I want to try this way of storytelling, telling small stories in daily life, every small story The stories all have a theme, and at the same time practice writing to prepare for the new book. If everyone accepts this method, maybe this book will continue to be written, at least after the Spring Festival.
