I’m a Scumbag [Quick Wear]

Chapter 166: The Yaoer in the Chronicle (3)

    The four honest people from the Shao family heard this, and immediately took out a small half of the chicken nuggets they had eaten from their bowls and wanted to hand them to the old lady.

    Mr. Shao rolled her eyes on the spot, and said angrily: "I ate half of it for my mother, who is shabby! Eat your food, I really hope that the four of you are useless, I am already hungry died!"

    The honest man took back the chopsticks very nervously.

    Shao Yu looked at this scene and felt a little funny, Mrs. Shao's heart is good, but this mouth is too sharp.

    "Mom, this family really can't be without you." Shao Yu said.

     Mrs. Shao didn't know what it meant to be subtle, so she straightened her waist immediately, and almost patted her chest and said, "Of course, they are all stupid, no one's family wants to deceived."

    The four honest people bowed their heads in shame.

    Shao Yu hurriedly made a sound and said, "Mom is the foundation and roof of the house, and my brother and sister-in-law are the four walls of the house. If it is useless, I am the most useless. I have been studying all these years. It didn't help the family."

    As soon as Shao Yu finished speaking, Mrs. Shao immediately said: "Just like these four quails, can they still be used as walls?"

    Shao Yu took four pieces of meat from her bowl and distributed it to her brothers and sisters-in-law, saying, "Brother and sister-in-law have worked too hard for this family."

    Where have people in the countryside heard such words, the four quails were at a loss.

    Mr. Shao frowned a little and looked at the bowls of the two daughters-in-law unhappily. She felt that meat was enough for her son, so why would it be given to the two daughters-in-law? Even when she first divided the meat before, she blatantly divided meat for her son and meat for her daughter-in-law.

      Dividing the meat will only blame others for lack of wink.

    "Big girl eats meat to grow taller." Shao Yu stuffed the last piece of meat in the bowl to Shao Da Niu.

    Mr. Shao watched this scene, her brows were so wrinkled that she could kill a fly, but for Shao Yu's face, she still did not attack on the spot.

    When the big girl saw the meat, her eyes lit up and she whispered, "Thank you, uncle."

    "Eat more meat and grow taller. When school starts, the big girl will be a primary school student." Shao Yu said happily.

    Once Mrs. Shao heard the words, she couldn't help it, and said, "What kind of primary school does the big girl go to? Girls don't need to study."

    Shao Yu smiled and said, "Mom, what is the difference between men and women when studying? Now the chairman has said that men and women are equal, and women can hold up half the sky."

    Mr. Shao has a good heart, and she does not dare to directly refute the chairman's words, "There is no money at home for her to study, the eldest girl can help with some work at home."

    The eldest girl lowered her head when she heard the words, and Sister-in-law Shao also said, "It's not important for a girl to study, as long as she can marry a good family in the future."

    This family's ideology is deeply rooted, but Shao Yu is not afraid, the roots are too deep, and it takes time to dig slowly.

     "Tomorrow I'm going to go to the city, and I sold this pheasant just as a tuition fee for the eldest girl." Shao Yu said.

    Mr. Shao narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do you pay her tuition for the chicken you caught? You don't marry a wife?"

    If it wasn't for the lack of salt at home, Mrs. Shao would like to pickle it and save it for the Chinese New Year. She was distressed enough to eat one, but now the other one is sold on the black market, but the money How could she endure it on her eldest granddaughter, whom she despised the most.

    "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law. Big girl is in a hurry to go to school." Shao Yu said with a smile, he counted the time. , the family can also have a college student.

     

    "Mom, I'm out of skills, I haven't read anything, I'm counting on the big girl to give me a good breath, let our family have a knowledgeable one, so honor the ancestors." Shao Yu said.

    Mr. Shao said without thinking: "Sooner or later girls will marry outside, not the Shao family!"

    "Mom, what you said, the eldest girl is not part of the family once she is married, and you keep telling her what to do in the future to subsidize the family?" Shao Yu said.

    Mother Shao was stunned for a few seconds, and then immediately asked: "After being married for so many years, the family raised her for nothing?"

    "If you really feel that you are an outsider when you get married, why do you try to make up for a few uncles for so many years? You are also an outsider from your grandmother's family." Shao Yu said.

    The old lady Shao was stunned for a moment, and after a while she said with her neck stuck, "Can this be the same? Your uncles are not good, I can't just watch them die."

    "My grandmother gave birth to three children, and the two uncles really can't do without you?" Shao Yu asked.

    Mr. Shao felt a little guilty for a while, and she also knew the stinky problems of her parents' brother, and it was not really impossible without her, but she was used to taking advantage of her sister's family, but the words rushed to this point, She could only go all the way to the dark and said, "They just can't do it without me!"

    "What does this mean?" Shao Yu asked.

    "What?" Mrs. Shao was at a loss.

    Shao Yu continued: "It means that it is better to adopt a daughter than to raise a child."

    "That's not the case..." Mrs. Shao just wanted to explain.

    Shao Yu said directly: "Mom, it's all a family here, don't take care of your uncles' face, talk about it, grandmother's three children, you are the best, I am in the morning. When I was teaching the big girl to read, I still felt strange in my heart, how can this child be so smart, and she can learn it as soon as she learned it, and now I finally know, it's all because of you, just like the teacher at that school said, what is that word called? Well, yes, it's called genetics! You are smart, so the child is smart, it's all like you!"

    

    Mr. Shao has been crawling in the ground all her life, and when she hears such praise, she can't care about anything else.

    "Unfortunately, I didn't inherit your intelligence, but it doesn't matter, the big girl has learned it, and when the big girl studies, she will go to junior high school, take the high school entrance examination, and finally go to college, and then you can enter the city If you don’t work, you can also divide the food, and when you become a city citizen, our old Shao family will be honored, the first household in eight villages in ten miles.” Shao Yu said.

    When Mrs. Shao heard what he said, she really looked at Mrs. Shao carefully. She saw that the girl raised her head slightly at this time, with a smiling face, yellow muscles and thin hair, and her hair was a little messy, but Those eyes were shining brightly.

    "Mom, the eldest girl looks like you, she looks like a smart person, you look at these eyes, and you come out of the same mold, don't mention how wise, just look smart!" Shao Yu said.

    When Shao Yu said that, Mrs. Shao really felt that Shao Da Niu was like herself.

    Brother Shao on the side looked at his daughter, then at his mother, and finally at his daughter-in-law, and whispered, "Big girl's eyes look like her mother."

    Shao Yu stretched out his hand and pinched his eldest brother.

    Brother Shao still felt a little wronged and said, "Brother why are you pinching me?"

    Sister-in-law Shao is smarter anyway, she heard the words and said, "I'm stupid, it's not good to be like me, it's better to be like a mother."

    "It's good to be like a mother, like a mother, I hope this in my stomach is also like a mother." Shao Ersao also said.

    Seeing what second brother Shao wanted to say, Shao Yu glared at him immediately, and he immediately stopped his mouth in fright.

    The two sisters-in-law of the Shao family are kind-hearted and always try their best to think of others, and because they are pressed by a mother-in-law who is not very easy to get along with, they appear to be very honest. Brothers, that is honesty caused by really no brains.

    "Mom, no matter whether it is successful or not, I want my child to study for a year. This child is like you, smart and down-to-earth. He will definitely learn something, and the whole family will benefit by then." Shao Yu said.

    Mr. Shao didn't mention anything else, but she really hoped that the Shao family would be good. She is not like Mrs. Shao, she knows the benefits of studying, so she gritted her teeth and offered her younger son to read, just the younger son I didn't live up to my expectations, and I couldn't read the result. If Shao Da Niu was a grandson, she would have to study even if she was smashing the pot and selling iron.

     

    Shao Yu understood her scruples and said, "Even if the eldest girl is married, she is still surnamed Shao, now it is a new society, men and women are the same, but I don't like what you said. Besides, even if she gets married, she is still from our Shao family. She has the blood of our old Shao family on her body. Besides, her daughter is caring. Look at the fifth aunt Zhao next door. They have no sons and only three. Daughter, but everyone is very filial, and life is much better than that of our third son."

    Shao Yu continued: "If you go and tell Fifth Aunt Zhao that none of her three daughters belong to the old Zhao family, she will definitely be anxious for you."

    If you want to reverse this family's deep-rooted ideology, you have to start with the family, Mrs. Shao, and the first step is to let Mrs. Shao pay attention to herself.

    Mr. Shao had a thoughtful look on her face, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed to let the child study for a year first, and decided to see how the child's grades were. It is also settled.

    The family ate the jar of pheasant cleanly, and added water to the chicken soup a few times, only to let it go until the last taste was gone. I can go to the toilet a lot in the afternoon.

      The chicken bones that came out were all dug a pit in the backyard and buried.

    In the early morning of the next day, Shao Yu packed up and went out the door still carrying the broken bamboo basket.

    Nowadays, the food is a large pot stove, the villagers have work points, and the city people have various tickets and money. Shao Yu went directly to the county seat. Zhaojia Village is close to the city, but Go for more than an hour.

    More than half of the journey was on mountain roads, so Shao Yu regarded it as exercising. Occasionally, he could dig some medicinal materials on the roadside, and Shao Yu even dug up an old ginseng.

    Entering the city, he went to a small alley very well.

    In the original memory, I once bumped into their trade in this alley, so Shao Yu was able to find it so quickly.

    Shao Yu knocked on the door three times, and after the door opened, a thin young man appeared.

    "Who are you looking for?" the young man asked, his eyes full of vigilance.

    Shao Yu matched this face with the one in his memory, and also understood the man's concerns, showed him a simple and honest smile and said: "Our uncle Zhao said, here It seems to be collecting things, so I will try my luck, you see, this is a pheasant just caught."

    Shao Yu caught the pheasant from the bamboo basket, and the pheasant was still alive and kicking.

    The young man's eyes lit up when he saw the chicken, he immediately opened the door and whispered, "Come in."

    Shao Yu quickly slipped in.

    "Which village do you belong to and which Uncle Zhao?" the young man asked.

    "Uncle Zhao is Uncle Zhao, he said it, he can't tell you too much." Shao Yu said, with a foolish look on his face.

    Seeing Shao Yu so stunned, the young man thought that he was a fool. He rolled his eyes and pointed at Shao Yu's pheasant and said, "For fifty cents, I will buy your chicken."

     

    Shao Yu said decisively: "Uncle Zhao said that it will not be sold for less than ten yuan."

    "Ten dollars? Why don't you rob it?" the young man cried.

    "One dollar, no more," said the young man.

    Shao Yu continued to shake her head and said, "You must be fooling me."

    Shao Yu said that ten dollars is a big mouth for a lion, and the young man said fifty cents, that is a bad heart.

    Nowadays, pork has to be purchased with a ticket, but it only costs 70 cents per catty. Shao Yu, a pheasant, weighs 6 catties even if it dies, because many feathers are still weighed down. According to common sense, The price is definitely lower than pork.

    However, the supply of meat in the city has always been in short supply. First, the meat ticket is hard to find, and secondly, if you get the meat ticket and go late, there is no place to buy it. Besides, this kind of game from the mountains has always been available. The price is still slightly higher than that of pork. The young man still wants to buy it. He met Shao Yu, the movie emperor. Induce the young man to keep raising the price.

    "Five for one piece!"

    Shao Yu then asked, "Is it five pounds for one piece?"

    The young man had a stumbling block in his heart. He thought that Shao Yu was an honest person, but he didn't expect it to be bad, so he immediately explained: "One piece, five pieces."

    Shao Yu said immediately: "That won't work."

    One of the two increased the price, the other shook his head, and finally the young man gritted his teeth and quoted a price: "Five dollars!"

    "Okay!" Shao Yu said immediately.

    The young man was stunned for a moment. Five dollars was the last bottom line in his heart. If it was higher, there was no need to buy it again.

    "Brother, it's not necessary, just say it at the beginning, why bother for so long." The young man said.

    Shao Yu smiled and didn't speak. He actually didn't know the market very well, so he also observed the young man's face and spoke. The young man thought he was pretending to be stupid, so he could only acquiesce.

    Five dollars, a figure that Shao Yu might not even look at in other worlds, but here, it is a lot of money.

    Pork is seven cents per pound, matches are two cents per box, rounded up, five dollars is equivalent to more than one hundred dollars in the 21st century.

    Big girl's tuition is one yuan for May 1 semester, five yuan is enough for her to study for a year, but since she came to the city, Shao Yu didn't want to go back with the bare five yuan. Save a little money and be more secure.

    "Do you accept the old ginseng? Stewed with pheasant, it is a great supplement." Shao Yu took out the old ginseng that he had picked before.

    The young man felt that Shao Yu was knowledgeable, so he did not dare to fool him. This time he set a more honest price. After Shao Yu bargained, he gave a little more.

    Shao Yu has a system mall, so he doesn't have much demand. He doesn't dare to sell too many things at a time. Instead, the young man thinks he is capable, and when he sees he is going to leave, he goes to him He said, "If my brother wants any good stuff, don't forget my brother, I will take it all."

    Shao Yu nodded, this young man is called Chen Wu, he used to specialize in black market business, but later he kept a close eye on it, and he was a lot more careful when doing business, but he still has a wide network of contacts Yes, when things are in his hands, he can always find buyers, so it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.

    Chen Wu added: "Brother came here once, and he is familiar with the way. Next time you come, you don't need to rely on Uncle Zhao's name. Don't worry, my brother won't dare to fool you."

    Shao Yu nodded, which was the page where Chen Wu bullied people.

    Although Shao Yu had nothing to buy, he still walked around the county. He looks clean and handsome, but he still looks very rustic, and others can see that he is from the country at a glance.

    Other people's gazes Shao Yu didn't bother to care. She mainly went to the outside of several factories in the county, but didn't see any job recruitment information. , When there are vacant job opportunities, most of them are given to the relatives of the leaders in the factory, and they rarely come out.

    Besides, the most important point, Shao Yu has no urban household registration.

    In the end, Shao Yu went outside the county government with the thought of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. He deserved his luck, and happened to come across a bulletin board outside the government.

    In this era, the information is not developed, and for some reasons, although the recruitment examination will be posted, the hanging time is generally not too long. fewer people.

    Shao Yu stopped and looked at the entrance examination information. Although it was handwritten, the handwriting was neat and not much worse than the printed one.

    The county government is recruiting an office clerk this time, requiring good facial features, under the age of 40, and a junior high school education or above. There are no restrictions on household registration, but more importantly, it is required to write good articles .

    On the recruitment announcement, the examination time was also written, and the time was very fast. It was at 9:00 the next morning, and the content of the examination was also very simple, that is, writing an article, but added a sentence at the end, to the effect that the examination was recruited The result is determined by the examiner.

      The other conditions will be so relaxed, because the government should really lack a good pen, so they will not hesitate to relax so many conditions.

    The last sentence on the announcement can also be extended to two meanings, either the exam is pre-determined, or if no suitable talents are recruited, neither of them may be admitted, but Shao Yu speculates that it should be The latter possibility is more likely.

    Shao Yu read the recruitment announcement carefully again, and wrote down the contents in her heart, and then turned back home with the backpack on her back.

    Behind him, a young man with glasses glanced at Shao Yu's back, then smiled at Gu Xiancheng next to him and said, "Isn't that the youngest son of the Shao family? Just him , he didn't even get into high school, and he still wants to apply for this job, he probably doesn't even know what the official document looks like, it's really funny."

    Gu Xiancheng didn't answer, didn't look at the recruitment announcement, his face was full of thoughts, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

    Seeing him like this, Sun Hui stretched out his arm and poked Gu Xiancheng, and asked, "Xiancheng, what do you think?"

    Gu Xiancheng seemed to wake up suddenly and said, "No, I didn't think anything."

    Sun Hui didn't ask much, but said: "Xiancheng, you are the most educated among us. As long as you participate, this position will definitely be yours."

    This recruitment announcement does not limit the account number, I think it is tacit approval that educated youth can also participate.

    If it was usual, Gu Xiancheng would not be happy to have such an opportunity to ask for the endless farm work in the countryside, but at this time his mind was full of one thing, so he didn’t have the heart to think about it, so he said : "Go for the test, I won't take it."

    Sun Hui's face was a little surprised, but he secretly secretly thought that if Gu Xiancheng didn't participate, he was missing a formidable enemy.

    "Sun Hui, I'll go to the post office. We'll meet here later." Gu Xiancheng said.

    Sun Hui nodded, continued to read the recruitment announcement, and even discussed a few words with the young people around him from time to time.

    Gu Xiancheng went to the post office in a daze, and happened to meet a postman who often went to Zhaojia Village.

    "Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing!" shouted the postman.

    "Is there a letter from me?" Gu Xiancheng's face became a little more happy.

    The postman nodded and said, "With your telegram and a few letters, just when you are here, bring it back to the educated youth station, which will save me the trip."

    Although it is illegal for people to bring letters, but the road to Zhaojia Village is not easy, and the postman also wants to be lazy.

    Gu Xiancheng took the letter and stuffed it into the basket behind him. He couldn't wait to read the telegram. After seeing it clearly, he immediately laughed happily.

    "It seems that Gu Zhiqing has encountered a good thing." The postman said with a smile.

    Gu Xiancheng nodded, but didn't say anything. After confirming that his family had arranged for him to return to the city, Gu Xiancheng turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the county.

    When Shao Yu returned home, the whole family looked at him eagerly.

    "How is it? Little brother, have you sold it?" Brother Shao asked.

    Shao Yu took five yuan from the basket and handed it to Mrs. Shao.

    "Five dollars! My little three is awesome!" Mrs. Shao was excited. She didn't expect a pheasant to sell for so much money. Yu was able to come back with all the beards and tails, and sold the things smoothly, but it was amazing.

    "I picked up a mountain ginseng on the road and replaced it with this." Shao Yu took out an oiled paper and wrapped it.

    Mr. Shao carefully opened the oiled paper bag and saw crystal candies inside, she took a breath.

    "I don't have anything delicious at home. I usually soak it in the water I drink to replenish my body." Shao Yu said.

      Yes, he can exchange for pork, but it's hard to explain. After all, it is difficult for people in the city to buy this thing, but if you exchange a little rock candy, Mrs. Shao and the others probably won't doubt it.

    Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shao did not praise Shao Yu when she saw the rock candy, but hit Shao Yu hard for the first time, scolding: "So much candy... How much does it cost, you Prodigal child!"
