Chapter 11 Bacon and Work

 Zhou Jimin is too young to drink, and the second uncle and others cannot open their mouths. In addition, Zhou Jimin is thick-skinned and does not know how to invite politely. It is really stingy.

"Dad, I also want to eat pickled fish."

Both brothers Jia Gen and Xiao Dang cried. They hugged Jia Dongxu's lap and cried, asking for pickled fish.

Looking at the Zhou family with the door closed, Jia Dongxu also fell silent.

However, Qin Huairu was soft-hearted, hugging Xiaodang and saying to Jia Gong: "Good boy, stop crying. Can mommy go shopping tomorrow?"

"No, no, I want to eat it now."

If you don't get it, you'll cry, make trouble, and roll around.

At this time, Qin Huairu had no choice but to turn his attention to Jia Dongxu.

The latter's scalp was numb at the sight, but how can he eat now?

I definitely won’t be able to eat tonight. Let’s not talk about whether I can buy ingredients. It’s such a late night and I don’t know where to buy them.

Besides, although Jia Dongxu is a fourth-level worker with a monthly salary of 49 yuan, he can barely support a family of five with just one labor force.

Hearing his rejection, Jia Ge cried even more sadly.

"This boy from the Zhou family didn't know how to allocate points to us. If I had known, I wouldn't have allowed his family to hold funerals in the middle courtyard."

Mrs. Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the kang, muttered a few words, her tone full of complaints.

Her words were destined not to reach Zhou Jimin’s ears.

A door in his house separated the Zhou family from the courtyard.

A group of young men in the room understood the word "rice-making machine" to the end.

Their family enjoys a good meal, but the other neighbors in the courtyard suffer.

The result was that the next morning, the neighbors looked at Zhou Jimin's family with resentment in their eyes.

Based on this situation, Zhou Jimin immediately decided that it would be better to irritate these neighbors less in the future.

So, while eating breakfast, the little goldfish looked at the steaming cup and asked:

"Brother, what did you give us to drink? Yeah, it's so sweet."

"This is milk powder, but you are not allowed to tell anyone else. It must be kept secret, do you hear me?"

"Why?"

The little goldfish took a bite of the steamed bun and said with a puffy face.

Her second sister glared at her, "Just eat well when you're eating? Where did all the problems come from? Didn't you hear Jia Geng, Yan Jiedi and the others crying for fish with pickled cabbage last night? If you tell it, my eldest brother won't do it next time.

I’ll feed you pickled fish and I won’t feed you milk powder.”

"Ah?" The little goldfish suddenly widened his eyes, covered his mouth with both hands, and shook his head desperately.

Then, he ate faster and almost choked.

After breakfast, go to school when you need to go to school, go to work when you need to go to work, and play when you need to play.

The four-and-a-half-year-old little goldfish just stays in the courtyard by herself and plays with her friends. She can’t leave the courtyard anyway.

Zhou Jimin walked to the steel rolling mill, and he went to work with other neighbors in the courtyard.

For example, Xu Damao, He Yuzhu, etc.

Jia Dongxu, who works in the same workshop as Zhou Jimin, is also a neighbor who lives in the middle courtyard, but they rarely talk to each other.

Mainly due to the age gap and the fact that Jia Dongxu is destined to die, Zhou Jimin has no desire to chat anymore.

The steel rolling mill is outside the city, and it takes about fifty minutes to walk. If you ride a bicycle, it only takes about ten to twenty minutes.

Even if I have a bicycle, I can’t ride it. It’s such a frustrating life.

However, we should really keep a low profile in this era.

There are tens of thousands of workers in the entire steel rolling mill, but not many ride bicycles.

Zhou Jimin even saw several workshop team leaders and supervisors walking to and from get off work.

Returning to his job, Zhou Jimin began a day of fishing.

During lunch, everyone went to the cafeteria, but he slipped out of the factory to a deserted place, took out his bicycle and went home directly.

When I got home, I made lunch in the warehouse space, then opened the door and let the brothers and sisters next door come over to eat together.

The advantage of cooking in a warehouse space is that the aroma of meat and rice does not spread to the outside.

"Wow, big brother has bacon today. Yeah, it's so delicious."

After Zhou Jimin closed the door, he turned around and saw the little goldfish and the others were already sitting on the table. The little goldfish was the first to use his chopsticks to pick up the meat.

"You're not polite. Brother, you haven't even sat down yet. What are you going to eat?"

Her second sister couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up chopsticks and hit her.

She was so frightened that she ran away screaming.

Although there are not many rules in the family, as long as the elders have not used their chopsticks, others are not allowed to use their chopsticks.

"Xiaoqing, please pay attention to your temper." Zhou Jimin smiled bitterly.

Since Zhou's mother left, Zhou Shuqing has become more and more like Zhou's mother, having to worry about everything.

"Little goldfish, there are no outsiders in the house now. Whatever you do, we won't say anything. But when there are outsiders, you have to be polite. You can't move the chopsticks until the adults move them. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I got it, brother."

She is still a little afraid of her second sister, especially when her second sister glares.

"Eat." Zhou Jimin said, picked up the chopsticks, and took a piece of bacon for the little goldfish and the second child respectively, while letting the third and fourth children do it themselves.

"Thank you, brother."

The two sisters are particularly contented, but Zhou Shuqing is still a little worried.

Recently, I have been eating meat every day. Today I still eat bacon and white rice. What kind of family is this when we eat so well?

Although Zhou Jimin had explained it to her and Lao San yesterday, and even made 39 yuan last night, she still felt unsure.

Regardless of whether she knew it or not, Zhou Jimin just patiently explained it a few times, but no matter how many times she tried, it would be gone.

After lunch, he told his younger brothers and sisters not to tell anyone what they had eaten for lunch, and then Zhou Jimin went back to the factory to continue working.

The job of an apprentice is to learn.

Zhou Jimin’s job is that of a welder, which is a very demanding skill.

However, he really has no interest in the work of a welder, so he comes to work as a welder.

On the contrary, I am more interested in electricians.

Because the work of an electrician is simple, apart from the daily routine inspection of circuits, the rest of the time is spent fishing in the office, which is not very enjoyable.

He plans to take time to get an electrician certificate and then change jobs.

After all, there is still more than half a year between now and the college entrance examination in July next year.

Therefore, while he is currently working as a foreigner, he is also focusing on reviewing electrician knowledge in the warehouse space.

There are many books in the warehouse, but there are no books on electrical engineering.

But there are computers, and many of them contain many basic science books.

Not to mention, with Zhou Jimin’s knowledge far beyond this era, wouldn’t he be able to handle an electrician exam with ease?

After finally resisting until get off work, he put the modern military green water bottle into his satchel, then walked out of the factory with a notebook.

This is the basic knowledge of electricians that he copied in the warehouse space. The reason why he took it out was just to show off and get a vaccination in advance.

He must let others know that he is planning to take the electrician certificate exam, so that it will be easier for him to talk when he changes jobs in the future.
