After Zhou Jimin left, Ding's mother pulled Ding Qiunan aside and asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Nan, have you really only met this Xiao Zhou twice?"
It is not unreasonable for Mother Ding to ask this question.
Who spends so much money to visit relatives and friends?
Last time I delivered a five-pound piece of pork belly and a hare. This time there were more, two five-pound large grass carp and a hare.
This is meat.
"Mom, why don't you believe me?" Ding Qiunan was also frowning. She couldn't control herself. What did Zhou Jimin mean this time?
Do you have a crush on her?
Thinking of this, her pretty face instantly became hot.
But soon, she denied herself again.
Although she thinks she looks pretty good, she is still only a junior in college and has two more years to go.
Moreover, she knew very little about Zhou Jimin’s identity.
I only know that he works in a steel rolling mill, lives in a courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, likes fishing, and also owns a bicycle. I don’t know the rest.
"Forget it if you don't tell me. Anyway, this meat was given to you by Xiao Zhou." Mother Ding couldn't figure out the reason, so she muttered and left.
Ding Qiunan suddenly became depressed.
When Zhou Jimin returned to the courtyard, he hurried back almost as fast as lightning.
There are four little ones at home who are hungry.
When I got home, without saying a word, I rushed the four of them to another room and started cooking.
It won’t be long before I’m busy.
I called Si Xiao back to eat, and when he was about to pick up the bowl and eat, a guest came.
It's the third uncle.
Zhou Jimin walked out and closed the door directly, not letting the third uncle in.
"Third uncle, do you have something to do with me?"
Looking at the closed door, the third uncle's eyes almost popped out. Why is Zhou Jimin eating meat again?
"Oh, let me inform you that there will be a hospital-wide meeting later, please remember to come."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
It’s actually a hospital-wide meeting?
Zhou Jimin was a little surprised, a little curious, but also disdainful.
Even a trivial matter would require a hospital-wide meeting, and no one would do it.
I went back to the house and said something to the fourth child, and he took the pony and went out.
At this time, many people have come to the central courtyard garden.
The first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui are all here.
Not long after, everyone gathered, and the third uncle spoke immediately.
There were two things in total. The first one was that Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao again, causing his nose to bleed. The latter asked Sha Zhu to pay ten yuan in compensation.
The second thing is that a child of the Li family in the front yard has a disease and needs money urgently, so they have to donate money!
It was just two small things together, but they gave us the specifications of ***.
Zhou Jimin especially hated the second uncle’s official tone and the first uncle’s moral kidnapping, so he quietly slipped away in the middle of the meeting.
When I got home, I told the four little ones that if someone came to ask for a donation, they should give it to him, saying that he was too tired and fell asleep. If he had anything to do, he would talk to him the next day.
The four little ones are also very smart and will go back to their room to sleep immediately.
Not long after, someone really knocked on the door.
But no one opened the door. The third child got up and shouted, "We'll talk about it tomorrow if we have something to do." He fell asleep and it was so noisy.
It is impossible to donate money.
There are many children in the Li family's front yard, but they bully the four little ones.
He even snatched the White Rabbit toffee from Little Goldfish.
When Zhou's mother was buried before, the Li family didn't help either.
Therefore, such a neighbor cannot help.
Suddenly, Zhou Jimin had just returned from the pigeon market and was blocked by the third uncle.
Still asking about donating money.
"Third uncle, it's not like you don't know my family. I would also like you all to donate some money to me. My family is almost in trouble."
Using the son's spear to attack the son's shield, Zhou Jimin can't get rid of anything anyway, why?
"No, your family ate meat last night, why can't you open the pot?"
The third uncle felt depressed for a while. Isn’t this guy too shameless?
"Didn't your family catch two hundred fish yesterday? They also sold them for fifty-one yuan. Your family is richer than anyone else, right?"
"As expected of the third uncle, what are you telling me about this?"
Zhou Jimin suddenly became happy and showed a harmless expression:
"There are five brothers and sisters in our family. Now the tuition fee alone costs about 25 yuan every year. Do we need to buy them new clothes during the Chinese New Year? It doesn't cost 20 yuan here. What about the monthly food expenses? Third uncle, apart from me, our family
, but there is no stable source of income. If you can help solve my family's problems, I promise to donate money."
Solved?
How is this possible?
Therefore, the third uncle came back unhappy and went back to his house to sulk.
The matter was over for the time being, and no one came to ask him for money again until Zhou Jimin finished his breakfast.
The days passed day by day, and soon the day came to take the electrician certificate test.
Originally I thought he would be the only one participating.
Unexpectedly, three or four people came to the courtyard.
In addition to Yan Jiecheng from the front yard and Liu Guangfu from the back yard, Wang Damao from the front yard also came.
Wang Damao is the eldest daughter of the Wang family in Qianyuan. She is nineteen years old. She graduated from high school and has never worked.
In the entire courtyard, except for the old lady, Shazhu, Zhou family and a few other families who lived here before liberation, the others moved in after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
For example, the Yan family, Li family, Wang family, etc.
Seeing these familiar faces, Zhou Jimin was also stunned and surprised.
"Brother, come on!"
Since he had to take an exam, Zhou Jimin simply took a day off.
The boring little goldfish also came with him to take the exam.
Anyway, brats like Yan Jiedi and others are here, as well as a young boy like Wang Sanmao, so Zhou Jimin has nothing to worry about.
"Okay, thank you little goldfish. Big brother is going to take the exam first. Don't run around, do you hear me?"
Zhou Jimin gave her another slap on the head, but she nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
Her friends are envious, but unfortunately, except for Zhou Jimin and Wang Damao, they are not so kind to their younger brothers and sisters.
Walking into the examination room, Zhou Jimin found that there were quite a few people coming to take the exam. Nearly a hundred people came to take part.
Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangfu were full of confidence, held their heads high and seemed to be sure of their success.
Wang Damao was sitting at his desk and frowning, unable to understand and somewhat lacking in confidence.
After observing the three of them for a while, Zhou Jimin lowered his head and started writing.
This exam is equivalent to the basics of physics and electricity in middle and high schools in later generations plus the application of some common sense about electricity. It is indeed very simple.
However, Zhou Jimin sees this from the shoulders of giants.
For people in this era, it is not that simple.
If you have not carefully studied relevant electrical knowledge and skills in advance, it will be really difficult to pass the exam.
It took more than half an hour to finish writing, and another ten minutes to check it again. Zhou Jimin got up and handed in the paper.
Most of the candidates immediately raised their heads in surprise, and the invigilator was also surprised, "You won't check it again? Once the paper is submitted, it cannot be changed."
Although the electrician exam is not as important as the college entrance examination, once you pass it, it means you can find a job immediately.
Therefore, from this point of view, it is not much worse than the college entrance examination.
Moreover, you also need to pay for the electrician exam. You need to pay an exam fee of one yuan for each exam.
"Thank you, teacher, for reminding me. I have already checked it."
After saying that, Zhou Jimin turned around and left.
The examination room behind him suddenly became noisy. The examiner glared at him, and then slowly became quiet.
