Chapter 7 Playing hide and seek?
As soon as the third uncle's words came out, Zhou Shuqing and the other three siblings suddenly became nervous, and at the same time they glared at the former.
Although they are not young enough, this is a job opportunity left to them by their mother.
But now, Teacher Yan actually comes to visit and wants to get this job?
Can the three of them not be nervous? Can they not be angry with the third uncle?
"How else can we arrange it? Our five brothers and sisters will all be able to take over when they reach the age, and there are not enough points."
After hearing Zhou Jimin's words, Yan Laoji suddenly became anxious.
"Jimin, your third uncle and I are a people's teacher, so I can barely be considered your elders, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are the people's teacher, but third uncle, our family has no elders now. If you are really willing to be the elder of our family, that would be great."
Zhou Jimin clapped his hands and laughed, Yan Laoji was immediately overjoyed, and Zhou Shuqing and the others were a little anxious.
"So, third uncle, as the elder of our family, do you think you should pull some pieces of cloth and make some new sets of clothes for us five brothers and sisters? And can you help pay their tuition fees? Every day for us five brothers and sisters,
I don’t eat much, just one meal of meat a day. Is it okay for you, Mr. Third? And I’m getting married...”
In an instant, Yan Laojie's expression immediately froze. Zhou Shuqing and the other three children also laughed like pigs and stared at the former in unison. The third uncle's scalp instantly went numb.
The calculation failed!
He throws out troubling words one after another, but Zhou Jimin easily solves them every time.
There was no other way. Teacher Yan, who had broken the jar, had to say this:
"Jimin, the third uncle won't talk to you anymore. I know your family is in trouble. If you are like this, you should first give your mother's job opportunity to your brother Xie Cheng. Anyway, your sister has not been able to work in the past few years, so she can't
It’s a waste, right?”
"When the time comes, brother Jie Cheng will get your salary, and you will receive eight yuan from your family every month. How about that?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shuqing and the others immediately frowned and thought.
It seems that this proposal is not bad.
After all, Zhou Shuqing, who has just entered junior high school, will definitely not be able to work in the next few years.
Rather than wasting it, it is better to lend this job opportunity to subsidize the family.
But Zhou Jimin shook his head and refused.
"Third uncle, I know you are doing it for our own good, but I'm sorry. I promised my parents that I would take good care of my younger brothers and sisters, so I can't let you do this job."
Give me some balls.
Although I can get a monthly salary of eight yuan, it is too little.
And Zhou Jimin doesn’t need these eight dollars.
He would rather let the job opportunity Zhou's mother left behind sit on the shelf than give it away.
Because this will not only make Zhou Shumin and the others feel at ease, but also reduce some troubles.
A few years is not a short time.
Don't let Yan Jiecheng feel resentful because he has to give out eight yuan or half of his salary every month, and regard this as charity to the Zhou family.
Not to mention, if Yan Jie becomes a dove and occupies the magpie's nest, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Why don't you give in?" Yan Bugui suddenly became anxious. This is how he has given in again and again. How come the boy from the Zhou family can't get in?
"Tell my mother, this is what she told me." Zhou Jimin spread his hands and said helplessly.
It was a helpless move for him to throw the pot to Zhou's mother who had passed away.
This makes Mr. Yan very angry.
What did he tell Zhou's mother? Should he go to the underworld to look for her?
"Jimin you!!!"
The third uncle left angrily, and Zhou Jimin’s voice came from behind:
"Third uncle, won't you sit down for a while?"
"No, I'll go home for dinner!"
"Okay, I'll leave you soon."
The storm has finally passed.
However, people are still thinking about this job opportunity from the old Zhou family.
Yan Jiecheng, a young man waiting for work, is not the only one in Siheyuan.
The second uncle Liu’s family also has one in the backyard, and there are a few more in the middle courtyard and front yard.
But regardless of their prying eyes, Zhou Jimin believes that with the precedent set by the third uncle, others will be more or less intimidated, right?
As for forcing him to give up this job opportunity, even if the big guys in the courtyard have crooked butts, aren’t there still street offices and factories?
Factories in this era had their own armed guards.
Zhou Shumin next door has finished the remaining dumplings, and her belly is round and round.
"Brother, do you want to go out in the afternoon?"
"What's wrong? Are you busy?"
"If you don't go out, can you play hide-and-seek with me?"
Play when you are full or sleep when you are full. This is the life of a little kid.
Zhou Jimin thought for a while, there is almost no entertainment for children these days, forget it, let’s take them out to play.
"I'm going to go fishing by the river, do you want to come with me?"
His proposal was approved by the four little ones excitedly.
The little goldfish even followed him, clamoring to make fishhooks or something together.
There are just a few fishing equipment: hooks, lines, rods and bait.
The fishhook is very simple, just use the needle at home to make it.
Anyway, Zhou Jimin himself is an apprentice worker in the steel rolling mill. He has been working for more than half a year, and he more or less knows how to make it.
The three uncles in the front yard often fish, and they are self-sufficient in fishing hooks.
"Brother, don't we dig up earthworms?"
The five brothers and sisters went out together. The third child took a look and raised his doubts.
"No, we'll dig again when we get to the river."
When we arrived at the entrance of the front yard, we happened to meet Xu Damao in the backyard.
"Hey, Jimin and your family are out, what are you going for? Visiting relatives?"
"Brother Damao, let's go fishing by the river."
Zhou Shumin, who was walking on short legs, replied happily.
Then, he was surrounded by Yan Jiedi and other children.
A group of children were chattering and heard that fishing was fun, so they all clamored to go fishing together.
This was not something Zhou Shumin could decide, so she looked at her elder brother and blinked with her big eyes.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Zhou Jimin had a headache as Little Goldfish, Yan Jiedi and the other children looked at him with pitiful eyes.
"You should ask your parents."
The children suddenly understood, and then they asked Zhou Shumin to wait for them, then turned around and ran away.
While running, I called my parents and whirred, thinking something had happened.
The adults hurriedly came out of the room. After learning the whole story, they were dumbfounded.
Then, he rejected their offer to hang out together.
Going fishing on the river is no joke.
What should I do if I accidentally fall into the river?
Although it is late autumn and the weather is cold, the river has not frozen yet.
Besides, the Zhou family is all grown up, and Zhou Jimin can’t even take care of his younger brothers and sisters, so how can he take care of other children?
Therefore, a group of little brats immediately unleashed two killer moves: the first skill is coquettishness and the second skill is crying.
The only purpose is to go fishing.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jimin picked up the little goldfish, called Zhou Shuqing and the three of them, and slipped away quietly.
