Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1353

After Yi Zhonghai came back, he learned that Sha Zhu had found a new partner, and his face turned dark.

After falling out with the Jia family, he placed his hopes for retirement on Sha Zhu.

Because Jia Dongxu is not dead yet, he does not have the idea of ​​asking Sha Zhu to join the trap as in the original plot.

To another extent, he also hoped that Shazhu would get married soon.

But getting married is different from being married, and he has his own little thoughts.

Sha Zhu can get married, but the person he marries must pass his test.

It is more like finding someone to take care of yourself in your old age than looking for a partner for Sha Zhu.

And the Miss Qin before was the one he carefully selected, otherwise he would not have helped Sha Zhu to protect the Jia family from doing bad things.

Relying on the excuse that his body had not recovered, Zhang Yu avoided the high school entrance examination. When the examination was over, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He finally survived the ordeal and bought himself at least one year.

During this year, he needs to learn the knowledge that the original owner has learned and transform himself into the original owner.

After the high school entrance examination, he got the test papers through some channels. After reading it, he couldn't help scratching his head. For him, most of the questions were not too difficult, but he had not memorized the Chinese language of this era, so he might not be able to answer some questions.

Of course there is a bigger obstacle, which is the politics of this era.

But politics only needs to be memorized. For Zhang Yu now, there is a course that does not even need to be memorized, and that is Russian.

After all, most people in later generations learn English, and few people learn Russian.

However, after studying for a few days, he finally unlocked some of the original owner's memories. This was both useful and useless to him, because most of it was what he had learned in the past few days.

Maybe it was because he had let go of the pressure, but he suddenly felt hungry. He rubbed his stomach, straightened his clothes, and walked towards his aunt’s house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled a burst of fragrance. Some children were standing at the door sniffing, but because they had been well educated, although they were greedy, they would not block other people's door.

"Aunt, what delicious food have you made?" She pushed open the door and shouted loudly. Looking into the room, her cousin and uncle seemed to be reading the newspaper seriously, but their eyes kept drifting towards the kitchen.

"Xiao Yu, you're awake. How are you?" She wiped the water off her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen.

"I'm taking a day off today. I happened to see someone selling old hens at the pigeon market, so I grabbed one and gave it to you as a supplement."

"Aunt, you are so nice. I knew you loved me the most..." Zhang Yu relied on his current young age and body, and those nice words came out of his mouth like crazy as if they were free.

"You kid." Zhang Guifang was overwhelmed by her nephew's kind words and her heart was warmed.

Her own children were independent since childhood and could handle most things by themselves, which did not give her a sense of accomplishment as a mother. But with this nephew from her mother's family, she felt another kind of mother's feeling.

"Stop making trouble and take your bowl to eat." As soon as they heard the word "eat", my uncle and cousin quickly stood up from their seats, one took a bowl to serve rice, and the other brought the dishes.

Because of the bad harvest and insufficient supply, they haven't eaten meat for a long time.

Sitting at the dinner table, they all ate their meal attentively. His aunt and uncle would put some good meat into his bowl from time to time.

After finishing the meal, the family rubbed their full stomachs and sat in the living room to discuss something. "Xiao Yu, I met your junior high school teacher today. He asked me to ask if you want to go back to junior high school for a year."

Zhang Yu has always had good grades, but this time due to health reasons he did not take the junior high school entrance examination and was not admitted to high school. His family has always felt sorry about this.

"Uncle, I want... I want to use that work quota." After hearing what Zhao Wenzhuo said, the alarm in Zhang Yu's heart began to ring. Before he had completely unlocked the original owner's knowledge, he absolutely could not meet a teacher who knew the original owner well.

"You kid, your grades are so good, why don't you want to go back to school?" Zhang Guifang became anxious when she heard this. She wondered if her nephew didn't want to go back to school to continue his studies because he felt embarrassed for not taking the high school entrance examination this time.

"Aunt, I..." Zhang Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. Should he say that he didn't want to learn anymore, or that he had forgotten the knowledge, or even just say that he was not the "Zhang Yu" they thought he was.

He's not crazy yet!
He didn't know whether he could return to the afterlife after his current body died, but he didn't dare to gamble his life on it. Not to mention, even if he could really go back, his body in the afterlife would probably have been burned to ashes long ago.

Being able to live again was a blessing from God, and he didn't believe that he would have such good luck again.

However, Zhang Yu felt unwilling to say out loud that he would not go to school. Even if he was ignorant, he knew the importance of academic qualifications in this era. The level of jobs assigned to junior high school graduates and university graduates were completely different.

In his later life, he always knew a truth, that is, for children from families like theirs, studying is their only way out.

He was not a very smart person. He studied for so many years in later life and paid a great price to maintain the so-called top ranking.

Especially since the small county where he grew up had a shortage of educational resources, even the top students in the school did not have much competitiveness.

So in order to go to a good university, he really suffered a lot.

Now whenever I think of that dark senior year of high school, when there was no light at all, I would just open my eyes and read, memorize, and write. I could still feel a chill when I think about the feeling of scratching my head for a long time over a problem but just not being able to solve it.

Even after entering college, he did not slack off. The competition in college was even greater, especially for children like them from poor families. If they wanted to stand out, they had to work harder than others.

But the final result did not disappoint his efforts. He achieved success through learning. This child from the countryside gained a firm foothold in the city through his achievements in learning.

So for him, learning is the only thing that will never let him down.

But in his current situation he simply cannot go back to school. The knowledge in his mind that is incompatible with this era will surely bring him disaster once it is exposed.

So now there happens to be a job opportunity, and he wants to work for a while first, during which time he wants to integrate into this world. After a year, he will hand over the job to his cousin who has been taking care of him and who does not have a job yet.

"But your grades are so good, it would be a shame if you don't continue studying. Besides, that job is too far from home, and all your time will be wasted on the road. You're not in good health, how can you hold on?" Zhang Guifang was still a little unwilling.

"Aunt, listen to me. I want to find someone to trade my job for. I want to switch it to a lighter job nearby. It doesn't matter if the salary is lower. There will definitely be someone who will trade with me for the salary."

"Xiao Yu's idea is also good. Guifang, I heard that Xiao Li's father-in-law is about to retire, right? Then who will he take over the work on hand?" Uncle Zhao Wenzhuo thought for a long time.

"You mean the one who is in charge of purchasing at the steel mill? I heard that there is no one to take over his job. His son has a job, his daughter-in-law works at the supply and marketing cooperative, and his daughter can't do purchasing work. Besides, doesn't his daughter have a job at the textile factory? It's just that Xiao Li's job is far away from the textile factory, so the couple don't see each other often." Zhang Guifang, a street clerk, basically knows all the gossip in the street. As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look at her husband. "What are you saying?"

"Well, think about it. Xiao Li and his wife live far away. His wife lives with her father-in-law all year round. He doesn't have any relatives here. I remember Xiao Yu's job is near the textile factory, right? If the two families exchange jobs, won't everything be safe?" Zhao Wenzhuo drank his tea slowly. "Besides, the steel mill is only ten minutes away from our home."

"Okay, let's do it this way." Without waiting for the whole family to react, Zhang Guifang rushed out in a hurry.

"Slow down," Zhao Wenzhuo could only sigh at her impatience. But wasn't he attracted by her impetuous appearance and generous and cheerful personality? Looking at their uncle's sweet look, several young people who had never been in love couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Guifang left quickly and came back even faster. She came back in less than a quarter of an hour and said to him excitedly, "Xiao Li agreed and just got on his bike to go look for his father-in-law."

"You're worthy of being the aunt. You're so awesome." A group of people surrounded Zhang Guifang and praised her. There was nothing they could do. As the actual head of the family who controlled the family's finances, she was in charge of whether they ate coarse grains or fine grains, and whether they had to starve or eat meat.

By the time we went to bed at night, the job swap had already been discussed.

Xiao Li's father-in-law has only one son and one daughter, so naturally he wants his children to be around him.

As a driver, the son is away from home all year round and wants the company of a child even more. He is worried that the couple's workplace is too far away. It's okay for the time being, but it will definitely hurt their relationship over time. The most important thing is that the couple still has no children. This time they finally have a chance to transfer them together, and naturally they will not let it go.

The two families discussed it and Zhang Yu got the letter of introduction and went to work early the next morning. Then his family urged him to go to bed quickly, stay alert and leave a good impression on his boss.

Zhang Yu went back to his room obediently, but it was still early, and his habit of sleeping in the late night in his later life still affected him. Before going to bed, he signed in and received two yuan in cash and ten kilograms of soybean oil.

He carefully organized the items in the space. In order to review these days, and because he was not well yet and had no way to buy things, he put the things he got by signing in into the space without even looking at them.

He had saved up a lot of things in just over ten days. This was a good opportunity to sort them out. He would be able to go to work tomorrow, and he would have a reason to give some things to his family in the future.

If I hadn’t sorted them out carefully, I wouldn’t have realized that I had gained quite a lot in the past ten days.

The cloth alone required five pieces, one bright red, two army green, one cyan, and one blue. One piece of cloth was about 33 meters long, and although the cloth was a bit narrower at that time, the quantity was definitely not small. There were also 150 catties of cornmeal, 100 catties of flour, 80 catties of rice, and 30 catties of millet.

Oil was even pumped out in a large tank, a full tank of 300 kilograms. The oil was pumped out together with the cloth. That day was the first day of the high school entrance examination, which also happened to be the second Sunday, a double hit. Various bills and the like were actually less.

Seeing the last area, he couldn't help but start to feel greedy. Although he had just eaten meat today, people in this era were too deprived of oil and water.

The last area was filled with more than 50 kilograms of pork and two old hens. Looking at the things inside, Zhang Yu secretly made a decision that he would find an excuse to take them out someday.

After reading it, he went over what he had said and done during the day in his mind again, making sure that nothing was wrong and that no one would suspect that he was not the original owner. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Zhang Yu, dressed neatly, was taken out by his aunt and uncle and got a job.

Taking into account his age and physical condition, as well as his status as a martyr's relative, Director Wang of the steel mill's logistics department arranged an office job for him, and would arrange for him to work in the field in two years when he was older.

"If Xiaoyu takes over the job, then he won't go to school anymore?" Director Wang was chatting with Zhao Wenzhuo. The two were old friends in the army and retired together. After retirement, one went to the police station and the other went into logistics.

"This child is very thoughtful and cares too much about what others think. He didn't take the exam this time because of his injury, and he is always worried about people gossiping about him. He also feels that not being able to get into high school is a burden to me and his aunt, so he refuses to go back to school.

If I don't agree, I'm worried that he will think too much, but if I agree, I always feel that it's a pity for him not to go to school." Zhao Wenzhuo was also worried about this, but he also thought about it. Xiaoyu is still young now, and delaying a year is not a big deal. He plans to let Xiaoyu go, which can also be regarded as letting him gain some experience outside.

When next year, he will send Xiaoyu to school.

Director Wang was naturally obliged to help his comrades in need. He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "How are Xiaoyu's grades?"

"Apart from anything else, the results are definitely not bad, so I feel it's a pity." Zhao Wenzhuo's face was full of pride.

"As long as his grades are good, my father-in-law happens to be the vice principal of a high school. You can take Xiaoyu's usual test scores to the school to see if you can get him enrolled first. Then he can study while working. Maybe he can even take the college entrance examination with others."

"Can this still happen?"

"Why not? As long as Xiaoyu's grades are good, everything will be easy." They could still do it by adding one more student.

"Thanks. I'll treat you to a drink some other day." Zhao Wenzhuo patted Director Wang on the shoulder. For their comradeship, everything was self-explanatory.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiaoyu here."
