Li Weidong checked the switch and found that this was indeed the case.
Even if there is a washing machine, the electricity in the courtyard cannot bear the load.
Didn’t you buy the washing machine for free?
With the demand for power supply in Beijing being tight, we may have to wait a few more years to change this situation.
He Yuzhu seemed to have discovered this, and asked Li Weidong: "Weidong, what should we do now?"
Li Weidong scratched his head and said: "First check whether the fuse is burned. If it is burned, replace it. This washing machine can only be left at home."
He Yuzhu smashed the bar and said, "What a waste."
Li Weidong spread his hands and said: "There is no way to waste it. The electricity cannot be loaded. We can only wait until the lines are renovated before using it."
He Yuzhu thought the same thing, he just felt that it was a pity that he had worked so hard to get a washing machine and then let it go to waste.
After thinking about it, He Yuzhu suggested: "Weidong, how about we find a way to get a small generator back? As long as it can be used by the washing machine."
Li Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard this, how could he forget this?
If that doesn't work, you can get a diesel generator!
For others, it is difficult to get diesel fuel, but for Li Weidong, it is not like playing.
He patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said: "That's right, Zhuzhu, thank you for reminding me. I'll get it done later."
He Yuzhu giggled twice.
He also has his own little thoughts.
Seeing that the girl is about to get married, the wife is pregnant again.
After the baby is born in a few months, we can't let him, an old man, wash clothes every day, right?
It would be great if I could rub Li Weidong's washing machine at that time.
The worst thing is to pay according to the number of times.
Anyway, there is no way He Yuzhu could let Li Weidong suffer.
And Li Weidong usually wouldn't refuse such a small thing.
At this time, Li Weidong was already planning where to get a diesel generator.
Although diesel generators are not uncommon, they are not easy to use.
They are generally provided exclusively for factory use, and it is rare to hear of them being sold to private individuals.
I don’t know, I still have to go to the omnipotent pigeon market to look for it.
Even if he finds an old diesel generator, Li Weidong can still repair it.
Yu Li watched for a long time. Seeing Li Weidong's pensive look, she couldn't help but said: "Weidong, if you can't do it, don't do it. We're not that squeamish."
When Li Weidong heard Yu Li's voice, he finally came back to his senses and said: "No, I was thinking about other things. Don't worry if this machine can be used. I will let you do it in a few weeks at most."
Use it."
Hearing what Li Weidong said, Yu Li felt a little more hopeful.
"Okay, then I'll wait! You stay busy here while I prepare dinner!"
"go Go!"
Then Li Weidong and He Yuzhu thought about the washing machine in front of them.
It wasn't until yelling and cursing came from the yard that the two of them remembered that they forgot to fix the fuse.
I quickly found a new fuse and replaced it to restore power to the yard.
However, it only caused Jia and Zhang family a lot of suffering.
The old woman was using the excuse that she couldn't see clearly because there was no light and she was too lazy to stick the matchbox in her face.
Now that the electricity is back on, her excuse doesn't work anymore.
Just when she was about to say that her waist started to hurt again, after being stared at by sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru for a while, she felt shuddered and did not dare to make any more troubles.
I quickly sat back on the small bench and continued to paste the matchbox with my sore and swollen fingers.
But at this time, he became a laborer.
Xiaodang and Sophora japonica had finished gluing a matchbox, but she was still grinding it there.
Qin Jingru was so angry that she wanted to step forward and slap her twice.
Fortunately, Qin Huairu held her back.
Qin Huairu has many ways to deal with the Jia Zhang family.
A grinder, right?
Okay, when it’s time to eat, I’ll only give you soup, not rice. It depends on what you say!
*******
"Daughter-in-law, I took a leave of absence today and am going to look for old factories in the suburbs to see if I can get a diesel generator."
"Ah, will you come back for lunch?"
"Don't go back, it's just a waste of time."
"Okay, then I'll just make do with what I have to eat at work."
"Well, when you come back in the evening, I'll give you the whole braised pork. Our family hasn't had braised pork in a while."
"It's true, when you say that, I'm a little greedy."
"Then when you come back from get off work, go buy some pork belly first. There don't seem to be many spices left. Just buy some cinnamon, star anise, and bay leaves."
"I know, are you still leaving?"
"Go, go, go!"
Urged by Yu Li, Li Weidong finally went out.
He pedaled his bicycle and headed towards the alley.
Li Weidong is indeed going to find a diesel generator today.
But before that, he had something more important.
He was going to pick up Zheng Guangming from the hospital, and by the way, he would place the two siblings in Baoding.
Zheng Juan's work has been arranged, but the school for Zheng Guangming has not been finalized yet.
Zheng Guangming's household registration is still in Jichun, and according to regulations, he cannot go to school in Baoding.
Li Weidong left Hu Guangliang's relationship and found a school in Baoding.
But whether the other party will accept it or not, you won’t know until you go there.
Li Weidong himself is also struggling with which grade Zheng Guangming should go to.
He had tested this kid before.
In terms of arithmetic level, he is far superior to his current peers.
There is no problem in skipping a grade, but the problem is that it will take several years for the college entrance examination to resume.
We can't let Zheng Guangming go back to his home for a few years and wait for the college entrance examination to be resumed, right?
You have to think carefully about it, and you can't delay Zheng Guangming's future.
Thinking about these things, Li Weidong came outside the hospital without knowing it.
In this era, there was no parking fee. He locked his bicycle in the shed, raised his legs and entered the hospital.
When he arrived at the ward where Zheng Guangming was, Li Weidong discovered that Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming had packed their luggage and were waiting for him to come over.
Zheng Guangming, who was sitting and chatting with his sister, saw Li Weidong come in. He immediately stood up and shouted: "Brother, you are here!"
Zheng Juan, who had her back to Li Weidong, turned her head when she heard the words. When she saw Li Weidong, a trace of joy obviously flashed across her face, and she said softly: "Brother Wei Dong, you are here."
Li Weidong smiled and nodded, looking at the luggage packed on the hospital bed, and said: 'Everything is packed?'
Zheng Juan nodded and said: 'Well, I packed it up early in the morning and I'll wait for you to come over!'
"Then let's go. It will take more than half an hour for us to take the bus there! After we get to Baoding, we still have to clean up the house and so on. There are a lot of things to do!"
When Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming heard this, they did not dare to delay any more. They quickly stood up and divided their luggage between them.
Li Weidong took the largest bag of luggage from Zheng Juan and said: "Someone will talk to you later. Don't be stupid and explain everything. Just laugh and deal with it. People outside are complicated, and the so-called intention to harm others is
You can’t have it, you can’t have it without being on guard against others, do you understand?”
Zheng Juan and Zheng Guangming both nodded vigorously. They were also afraid of causing trouble for Li Weidong.
Afterwards, the two of them followed Li Weidong all the way to the bus station and waited for a long time before the bus came.
I can't help it, the frequency of long-distance buses like this is pitiful these days.
Since the starting point is close to the terminal, the seats on the bus are not full yet.
Li Weidong hurriedly called Zheng Juan's brother and sister to find a seat and sit down.
Otherwise, if you wait for a while, there will be no place to sit even if you want to.
Sure enough, after the car traveled a few more stops, the car was almost full of people.
No matter what age it is, overloading of public transportation is a very common thing, and everyone has become accustomed to it. They try their best to raise their hands and be vacated by the comrades below who are waiting to get on the bus.
After nearly an hour of jolting in the car, which almost shook all the internal organs, we finally arrived at the place.
Li Weidong's feet did not touch the ground and he drifted from his position to get off the bus.
Take a deep breath of fresh air that smells like donkey manure.
Huo, he's alive again!
.....
After their feet landed on the ground, the three of them first checked the parts on their bodies and the luggage in their hands. After making sure that nothing was missing, they breathed a sigh of relief.
If he had no choice, Li Weidong really didn't want to take this kind of bus again, so he might as well ride a bicycle.
After walking for more than ten minutes with Zheng Juan and his brother, they finally arrived at the place he had found for the Zheng brothers and sisters in Baoding.
Li Weidong first took the two of them around the house and said: "This is a small courtyard house. I bought it. Juanzi's name was changed on the property deed. If anyone asks about it in the future, just say you bought it yourself."
It’s not expensive anyway. If that person continues to ask questions, just call the police and arrest him. No serious person will get to the bottom of it like this.”
Zheng Juan nodded vigorously.
Looking at the environment of this yard, I can only feel satisfied.
This place is much better than the home they lived in Jichun.
Then the three of them started cleaning up the house together.
The original owner had just moved out of this house not long ago, and he was a very particular person, so he tidied up the house before leaving.
There weren't too many clutter in the house, so Li Weidong and the other two felt a lot more relaxed.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to clean up such a large yard without spending a day or two.
Lunch at noon is porridge cooked with rice brought over.
Although there were no side dishes, the hungry Li Weidong and the other three did not dislike it at all.
In just a moment, a large pot of porridge was completely wiped out.
After taking a walk to eat, Li Weidong pulled Zheng Juan into the house and whispered to her.
"Juan, I took Guangming to school to take a test. Seeing that Guangming has dropped out of school for so long, I have to quickly decide on his schooling, otherwise it will be difficult to keep up with the progress."
"Then you go quickly and leave this house to me."
"Well, when we leave later, you will lock the door. Except for me and Guangming, no matter who comes to knock on the door, don't look at it."
"I know, I'm not a three-year-old child."
Hearing this, Li Weidong smiled and hugged Zheng Juan, feeling the warmth and softness. When he let go, Zheng Juan's face was already red.
Although she considers herself a married woman, she still can't change her tendency to be shy.
This woman is really cute!
When he came out of the yard, Li Weidong called Zheng Guangming and set off towards the nearest primary school.
*******
"Teacher Liao, my brother is a natural at studying. He has learned arithmetic to a pretty good level through self-study. He had some eye problems before, otherwise I would have sent him to school early in the morning."
Teacher Liao watched Li Weidong praising Zheng Guangming nonstop, and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Comrade Li, whether this child has studied well or not, it doesn't matter what you say, nor does it matter what I say. Let's use the results to speak.
"
"Yes, yes, you are right. Then do you think, when will the test be arranged?"
"Let's wait for a while. When Teacher Zhou from our office comes back, his class happened to be taking a test today on the third-grade test questions. If your brother can get a score of 80 or above, I will agree to let him go directly to the third grade."
"Third grade?"
Li Weidong frowned slightly.
According to his plan, Zheng Guangming would be sent to fifth grade directly, and after a few years he would finish high school, just in time for the college entrance examination.
Coincidentally, Li Weidong had read a lot of information about the resumption of the college entrance examination before traveling through time, so he knew what would be tested.
With his assistance, it won't be a problem for Zheng Guangming to win the top pick, right?
Forget it, let's sneak into the school first, and then find a way to let Zheng Guangming continue to skip a grade.
With his ability, completing his studies ahead of schedule will definitely not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Li Weidong nodded and said: "Okay, third grade will be third grade."
Teacher Liao heard this but didn't take it seriously.
Indeed, many parents are born with the illusion that their children are talented.
But once I put it to the test, it was immediately revealed.
Whether it works or not, you will know after you test it, otherwise it will be useless no matter how mysterious it is.
Not long after, the Teacher Zhou mentioned by Teacher Liao finally came back.
After listening to Teacher Liao's words, he directly took out a blank test paper and gave it to Zheng Guangming.
Zheng Guangming was not timid. He took the test paper and started doing it very quickly.
Li Weidong had already checked out Zheng Guangming's skills early in the morning, so he naturally knew what level his brother-in-law was.
Let's put it this way, if Zheng Guangming can't score 100 points on Teacher Zhou's test paper, then this kid must be cheating.
In less than fifteen minutes, the test paper was completed.
Just now, Teacher Liao and Teacher Zhou had been standing behind Zheng Guangming and watching him do the questions. They already knew the results without correcting the papers.
The two of them looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't expect that they would meet someone who wasn't bragging.
Teacher Liao also became interested at this time. He borrowed another test paper from another teacher who had been there for four years and gave it to Zheng Guangming to take.
Without Li Weidong's instructions, Zheng Guangming took the initiative.
For Zheng Guangming, doing questions is a very happy thing.
In the ocean of knowledge, he never has to worry about being discriminated against. Everything here is based on his true ability.
Perhaps because the test questions were more difficult, Zheng Guangming took a longer time this time. It took him half an hour to finish the test paper.
And his score this time is still a perfect score.
Only then did Teacher Liao realize that Li Weidong was really not bragging just now.
He had no choice but to continue to find fifth grade test papers for Zheng Guangming to test.
Fortunately, this time Zheng Guangming's paper-writing speed finally returned to normal.
On the last fifth-grade test paper, he scored a total of 89 points, and the total score was 100 points.
Since it was a final test paper, it was inherently much more difficult than the usual test questions.
It is very rare to get this score.
After discussing for a while, all the teachers in the office agreed to let Zheng Guangming go directly to sixth grade.
He will go directly to high school and become the youngest sixth-grade student in the school. After graduating next year, he will be able to go directly to junior high school.
Seeing these teachers surrounding Zheng Guangming, Li Weidong knew that he no longer had to worry about being wronged in school.
If anyone dares to bully such a precious kid, these teachers will definitely not mind teaching him how to behave.
There are no cram schools in this era. Teachers regard students as their own children and will teach students their true skills.
Just like Banggeng, who gets into trouble in school all day long, Ran Qiuye still doesn't give up on him. He has visited the courtyard home several times, hoping that Banggeng can study hard.
Then it’s time to pay the tuition. The tuition here in Baoding is the same as in Beijing, two yuan and a half per semester.
After successfully settling the matter for Zheng Guangming's schooling, Li Weidong took him and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the school gate, he saw a middle-aged woman holding a child about the same age as Zheng Guangming, playing with Teacher Zhou outside the office.
"Teacher Zhou, I have taught our family a lesson all his life. He will definitely be obedient this time. Just give him another chance!"
