Shi Dayong bought several jars of pickles and made several jars of pickles. The main raw material is chive flowers. The chive flowers are filled with cucumber twists and small peppers. He also made a jar of garlic, eggplant and lamb.

The family courtyard is not far from the farm vegetable field. When Wang Ying took her children out for a walk, she saw piles of eggplant stalks and cucumber stalks on the edge of the border. Egg-sized eggplant lambs were hanging on the eggplant stalks. The cucumbers were just twisted.

It grew to the length of my fingers. I asked the owner but they didn’t want it. I thought it was a pity. I brought a basket back home and picked several baskets. I washed the cucumbers and peppers and marinated them with the chive flowers. I cut the eggplant into two cuts and steamed it.

, apply garlic paste on the knife edge and put it into the jar layer by layer. In the end, I didn’t expect that there were so many jars of marinated vegetables.

This saves trouble and money. When you are busy and don’t have time to cook, you can just grab a plate and have a delicious meal.

Wang Ying fried celery, mixed the celery leaves with garlic, and broke out some pickles. As soon as they were laid out, Ruimin came back with his rice.

Shi Dayong happened to have just brought An An back. He held Shi Xiang in one hand and held An An in the other and asked, "Fourth, where did you go for a stroll?"

"Brother is back." Ruimin held up the dictionary in his hand, "I didn't go for a walk, so I found a place to learn some Chinese characters."

Ruimin really took what Wang Youyuan said to heart. Shi Dayong's family had several books, which were issued by his work unit. He usually didn't read them, so Ruimin picked them up and used them as literacy textbooks when he met someone he didn't know.

He looked up the words in the dictionary. Even when he wrote letters to his hometown, he looked up the dictionary while writing. Every effort was rewarded. As he learned more and more words, reading and reading newspapers was no longer difficult for him.

"Okay, literacy is good." Shi Dayong obviously admired his brother's habit and said in a gentle tone: "I'm telling you, the local cement factory is recruiting workers. Registration will start tomorrow. Will you go?"

Seeing what the eldest brother said, do you even need to ask? This is what you dream of. Ruimin was overjoyed and couldn't hold back his excitement. He said hurriedly: "Go! Of course I have to go!"

Knowing Ruimin's expression, Shi Dayong smiled.

During the meal, Ruimin kept asking Shi Dayong, "Brother, where is the cement factory? Is it far from our home? Is the work tiring?"

Seeing that the fourth child was so anxious, Shi Dayong burst out laughing, "I only know that the cement plant is in the north, but I don't know anything else. I just heard it from someone. I'll tell you the details when we get to the site tomorrow."

"Oh, brother, I don't know what kind of work they do in the cement factory."

"Then who knows, it's too early to say that. Just wait until you find a job and then figure out what kind of job to do."

After eating, the initial excitement had passed, and Ruimin thought that the most important problem he faced was his eyes. His vision would definitely not be satisfactory during the physical examination.

Ruimin moved a small stool and sat next to Dayong, murmuring: "Brother, look at my eyes. What should I do with my eyes? The farther away, the darker the eyes and I won't be able to see. What will I do then?"

"Well, this is really a thing." Shi Dayong thought while holding his chin. He lit a cigarette. As he inhaled, the cigarette tip glowed red. Shi Dayong couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said: "I will follow you then.

When you go in, don't look at anything else when your eyesight is being checked. Just look at my brother's cigarette butt. If my cigarette butt is facing left, point left. If my cigarette butt is facing upward, say "up." In short, point wherever my cigarette butt is facing.

Over there, did you hear that?"

Brother's method is good. Ruimin nodded vigorously, and then his face fell again, "Brother, what will you do if they don't let you in?"

Shi Dayong slapped his brother on the back of the head, "You crow's mouth, before you go, you are thinking about the bad things first. You can't think of good things. By chance, you can go to work without asking for anything."

."

"Can't you?" Ruimin rubbed his head, "If you can get admitted just by signing up, then not even a fool can work."

The next day, Ruimin got up without even waking up. After he got up, he boiled hot water, washed his hair and face thoroughly, then used a razor to clean off the stubble, and found his best clothes.

After putting on my clothes and hat, I looked back and forth in front of the mirror several times before coughing several times with satisfaction.

He really followed Sun Xiufang for this problem. Sun Xiufang didn't say anything when asking people to get up. She just coughed not far away from you. She didn't wake up and coughed twice. If she didn't wake up after two times, she kept coughing. She had to make you noisy.

Can't wake up.

"Okay, don't cough, Fourth, I'll kill you." No one else woke up, so Sun Xiufang woke up first. The two of them were close to each other, with the beds facing each other. Shi Dayong's family was in the back room, so the distance was a bit far.

It hasn't been disturbed yet, or Shi Dayong heard it and pretended not to hear it.

Shi Dayong really heard it. What time was it? There was a loud bang outside. He opened one eye in a daze and looked at his watch. When he saw that the time was still early, he threw the watch on the pillow and turned around again.

Fell asleep.

Sun Xiufang couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't fall back to sleep when she woke up. She put on her clothes and went to the hut first. When she came back from the hut, she saw that the two people in the back room were still asleep and there was no movement at all. She felt in her heart

Not satisfied, he started coughing through the door curtain.

If his mother was usually so noisy, Ruimin would have to say something to her, but today he was afraid that his mother's voice would be too low and his eldest brother wouldn't be able to hear her. If they left late and they had recruited enough people, what would Ruimin do if they didn't want him? So Rui Min

Min also helped Sun Xiufang exert herself during her coughing breaks, coughing a few times from time to time.

With the unremitting efforts of Sun Xiufang, mother and son, Wang Ying was finally woken up. Her mother had not had this problem for a long time. What was going on today? She listened attentively and understood.

Wang Ying stretched his foot to the side and kicked Shi Dayong's calf.

"Ouch." Shi Dayong felt pain and opened his eyes to glare at Wang Ying. Wang Ying moved his mouth outward to signal him to listen.

Alas! Get up, there is no way to sleep, Shi Dayong sat up and started to get dressed.

Sun Xiufang stopped coughing when she heard some movement in the back room and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Sun Xiufang originally wanted to make a pot of sticky rice noodles and make some steamed buns with pickles, but then she thought about her son going to register today, so she changed her mind and placed the noodles. She just hoped that Ruimin would go well.

Recruiting workers to work.

When they arrived at the cement factory, they arrived early. Although there were already people queuing up, no staff members were seen yet.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a new factory covering an area of ​​several hundred acres is built against the mountain. The office area is to the east of the entire factory, a brand-new three-story building, and to the west is the production area. Some are boxy, but there are also a row of large

The cylinders stood tall against the sky. From the whispers of the people nearby, I knew that these factories were called kilns.

Gradually, there were more and more people. Looking back and forth, it seemed that there were hundreds of people. I didn’t know how many people were admitted to the factory. The two brothers looked at each other and saw worry in each other’s eyes. The eldest brother started to

Ruimin was worried, and his heart sank even more.

It finally started, and Ruimin followed the flow of people anxiously.

At the first level, registration, the staff said in an expressionless voice: "Hukou."

"Here, here." Ruimin hurriedly took out his household registration book from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

The staff member wrote in the notebook: Shi Ruimin, twenty-eight, and then asked: "Education level."

"I...I am in elementary school." Ruimin started to feel nervous when he mentioned his education level. He had only been in elementary school for two years and had never been to elementary school again. He didn't know if his education level met the standards. He swallowed secretly.

Saliva, observing the expressions of the staff directly.

The staff member didn't even blink. After recording his basic information, he turned the book over, pointed to a blank space and said, "Sign your name here."

He knew this, and practiced it well. Ruimin's hard work this year finally came into use. He wrote his name one by one, and turned the notebook over, "Comrade, can you?"

"The handwriting is quite good." The staff member raised his eyes and looked at Ruimin. The young man was also very energetic. He nodded, handed a form to Ruimin, pointed to the office building behind him and said: "Go inside

Go get a physical check-up."

At this time, there were not many educated people, and the factory only recruited people who could work hard. In terms of literacy, as long as they could read and write, it was enough. There was no preparation for the cultural exam, so they went directly to the physical examination stage.

"Hey." Ruimin breathed a sigh of relief. That was the first level was passed. He called Shi Dayong, "Brother!" and pointed towards the small building.

Shi Dayong understood, nodded slightly, and followed Ruimin while others were not paying attention.

The physical examination was not too complicated. He was measured, blood was drawn, an electrocardiogram was taken, etc. The two brothers waited until all the examinations were completed before going to the office where the vision test was done.

Shi Dayong just wanted to fish in troubled waters. He pulled Ruimin and waited at the door for a while. He waited until there were several people in the room before he and Ruimin walked in together.

When there are more people, there are people standing everywhere. Just don't block the middle position. Shi Dayong secretly moved forward until he moved to the side of the eye chart. He secretly lit a cigarette. When Ruimin arrived, he

He hugged his shoulders, Yan pointed in the direction of the eye chart, and silently blinked at Ruimin.

Ruimin sat on the bench and saw his eldest brother in front of him. His uneasy heart instantly calmed down. He followed what his eldest brother taught him yesterday and stared at his cigarette butt out of the corner of his eye.

There were many people waiting for the examination, and the doctor didn't observe too carefully. The young man had good eyesight and could see even the smallest group clearly. He put down the stick in his hand, took Ruimin's form, and put it on top

Write, left eye: 1.5, right eye: 1.5.

When the doctor saw that all the examination items had been completed, he kindly reminded Ruimin, "Comrade, all of your items have been completed. Just submit the form to the last office."

When the doctor wrote two 1.5 on his watch, Ruimin felt ecstatic in his heart and thanked him repeatedly, "Doctor, thank you. I don't know when the results will be available."
Chapter completed!
