flawed

Throughout July and August, Qi Nuliang was very disturbed, fearing that Jiang Yu would not be able to go to school, besides looking for the principal of Rihua Primary School, he also ran around several primary schools in Hongcheng.

He found that no matter which school he wanted to transfer from Rihua Primary School, he had to pay a school selection fee.Depending on whether the school is good or bad, the money ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands.But whether it is tens of thousands or thousands, he can't get it out.

Thinking back of Sister Cao's words, as long as they want to go to university, students from the entire county, including the surrounding towns, are competing for a place in Hongcheng No. [-] Middle School.If you get good grades, you have to take the exam yourself. If you don’t get good grades, you either have to make up the lessons and take the exam again, or spend tens of thousands of dollars to send your child directly.

Sister Cao’s original words were——children are already tired from studying alone. As parents, we must do our best to solve the money problem for our children. This is a matter of a lifetime.

Only then did Qi Nuliang realize that studying does not mean throwing a child to school and letting him fend for himself.Those who can really read, most of them have given various supports from their families.For example, Sister Cao’s son, in addition to attending classes on weekdays, also makes up lessons at the teacher’s house on weekends.The content that is usually missed in class can also be made up by the teacher.

So like Qi Nuliang, earning a little money every month is only enough to keep the two of them from starving to death. I'm afraid it won't work. He has to try to earn more money.The owner of the restaurant couldn't get through to give him a salary increase, so he planned to change to a job with a higher salary.

After more than a month of inquiring, in mid-August, Liang Mazi, the owner of the breakfast shop downstairs, told him that Hongcheng had opened the first large-scale supermarket chain and was currently recruiting people. He could introduce him.

The position is a meat cutter in the fresh meat section. The basic salary is [-] yuan. With various subsidies, he can get about [-] yuan a month, and he also pays insurance.This kind of job is simply a favorite in Hongcheng, and there are endless applicants.

But people have high requirements. The hardware requirements are that the age is not more than 35, the appearance is correct, a high school degree, and relevant experience are required.

Qi Nuliang was also very moved when he heard it, but when he heard about his education background, he found it difficult: "I only went to junior high school."

"That's easy to say. I have a solution. I know their manager who is in charge of recruiting."

"I have no experience in dividing meat either."

Liang Mazi said confidently: "What kind of experience does this need? You help out in the back kitchen of a restaurant. That's experience. If it's not possible, why don't you go and learn from the owner of the butcher shop in the market for two days?"

Seeing that the introducer was full of confidence, Qi Nuliang also believed a little: "How can I get hired?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take you there and let you pass." Liang Mazi said, twirling a few scorched and sparse beards on his mouth, staring at Qi Nuliang twice, and gathering three fingers in front of his eyes Rubbing, "However, the introduction fee cannot be reduced when it comes to things. You understand my rules."

"How much?"

"Half a month's salary, fifteen thousand."

Qi Nuliang's eyes widened in shock: "So much?"

"Hey, do you know how many people are waiting in line for this job? This supermarket is a big company. In addition to paying well, it also buys insurance. If you are not an official and a teacher in Hongcheng, which boss will buy you insurance? ? And your academic qualifications are not up to standard, I have to find a way to charge you this little money is not much at all."

At the beginning of September, after several rounds of interviews, Qi Nuliang spent [-] yuan and a few packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, and successfully became a meat divider behind the pork counter in the supermarket.

Every morning, the meat comes in half a whole pig, and he has to divide the meat into large pieces according to each part and put them in the fresh-keeping cabinet.When the supermarket opens and customers come in, he cuts the meat according to the customer's requirements and puts a price tag on it.This job is exactly the same as that of the butcher shop owner in the vegetable market. Fortunately, he really went to learn from the butcher for two days.

In Old Man Deng's noodle shop, Jiang Yu asked, "Brother, is it easier than in Yikouxiang Kitchen?"

"Yes." Qi Nuliang gave Jiang Yu the beef on his face.

It is not easy to say that it is easy, physically it is easy, but it hurts.

It is not easy for Qi Nuliang to hit the price tag.The supermarket is the meat delivered by the pig farm, which is [-] cents cheaper per catty than the vegetable market, and the traffic is very large.He faces a large number of customers every day, talking, haggling and arguing all the time.

Although the morning and evening shifts are alternated, and each shift only lasts eight or nine hours, during these hours, my mind can hardly stop and I am very tired.

"Brother, you will also have an early shift tomorrow."

The morning shift is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.

When it was Qi Nuliang's turn to start the morning shift, he and Jiang Yu got up together and had breakfast downstairs together.He bought a second-hand bicycle, took Jiang Yu to school on the way in the morning, and then rode to the supermarket.When I came back from get off work, I went to the door to pick up Jiang Yu from school, and then went home to cook or come to old man Deng's house for a bowl of noodles.

The evening shift is from eleven o'clock to ten o'clock in the evening, and the two of them missed the time.

Morning and evening shifts come, Jiang Yu likes the day when he goes to the morning shift.

"I'll take you to school tomorrow."

The child just nodded, with a happy face.

Qi Nuliang was also happy.This was his second month of work, Liang Mazi took half of the first month's salary, and the second month was all his own.

Only then did he know that the first three months were probation, and the salary was 80% of the official salary. When he came back, he asked Jiang Yu to help him settle the accounts. The official salary was just over [-] yuan, plus full attendance and subsidies, he could get about [-] yuan.This is really far beyond Qi Nuliang's expectations. For this "high salary", no matter how hard it is, it is worth it.

Not only that, Jiang Yu is also very good at school. Every time I pick him up, I can see him coming out of the school gate with his classmates. It seems that he has made friends in the new school.The child seemed to have become more sunny and talked more.Although he was still deeper than his peers, at least he got rid of the timid and cautious look when we first met, and looked like a normal child.

Counting that they have lived together for almost a year, despite the difficult process, both of them are getting better a little bit.

"Brother, hurry up, I'm going to be late."

In the morning, Qi Nuliang suddenly couldn't find his badge, which delayed the time, and the two hurriedly didn't even have time to eat breakfast.Jiang Yu's breakfast was stuffed into his schoolbag, and Qi Nuliang's was still hanging on the handlebar of the bicycle.

"I promise you won't be late."

There was a small slope in front of him, Qi Nuliang stood on the pedals, stooped over and stomped violently, making the axle of the bicycle creak.After passing the top of the slope, he sat down, Jiang Yu naturally wrapped his arms around his waist, the car rushed down the short slope at a speed like flying, and was controlled by Qi Nuliang, passing by the narrow alley nimbly and quickly .

Turning out of the alley, on the suddenly open road, you can still see groups of students coming to school, 200 meters ahead is Rihua Middle School.

"Jiang Yu..." Someone next to him called him.

Qi Nuliang squeezed the brake, Jiang Yu turned around and saw Li Cui and Zhou Zhiheng.

"A classmate?"

"Ah."

"Go down and be with your classmates." Qi Nuliang took the schoolbag hanging from the armrest to him, "Remember to have breakfast, I will pick you up in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

"Who is that?" Zhou Zhiheng asked.

"my brother."

"Your brother is very handsome. Brother?" Li Cui said, looking at the handsome back.

Jiang Yu didn't bother to answer, and just asked, "Have you done your English and math homework? Show me."

Li Cui raised the watch on his wrist: "You didn't do it again, the bell will ring soon, is there time?"

In the morning reading class, there were students on the left and right who were shaking their heads and reciting. Li Cui helped him keep an eye on the teacher, and Jiang Yu buried his head under the table and wrote quickly.I write English quickly, and I finished it in a short time.But there are several application problems in mathematics, and the steps in the middle are complicated, and it takes a long time to draw the scoop.

Li Cui said in a low voice, "I'm not sure about the last few questions, you should have copied Zhou Zhiheng's just now."

Jiang Yu didn't have time to talk to her, and just kept filling in the blanks in the workbook, writing the neat and correct words that were usually written like dancing.Finally, before the end of the morning get out of class, I wrote all the homework and put it on the desk, waiting for the representatives of each subject to collect it.

Li Cui took away his English exercise booklet, took a second look at it, and reminded Jiang Yu: "Except for copying mine, everything else is wrong. Teacher Xie can tell at a glance that you copied it."

Jiang Yu didn't change his face: "You can see it when you see it, take it away quickly."

After Li Cui handed in his homework, he came back and teased Jiang Yu: "At first I thought you must have good grades, and I wanted to build a good relationship with you so that I could copy your homework, but... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

"Is it always interesting to say that?"

Li Cui is not bad at studying, but she always jokes with Jiang Yu like this, and Jiang Yu just tells her to shut up coldly.At first I thought Jiang Yu was angry, but later found that he was not angry, and he didn't seem to care too much.

"I don't understand. I think you are very serious in class. Why are you so poor in math and English? I can't figure it out at all."

"Why do you figure this out?"

"Just a little curious..."

Before she could finish her curiosity, the class bell rang. It was mathematics early this morning.

Like everyone else, Jiang Yu took out the book and turned to the pages specified by the teacher. During the class, he kept staring at the figure of the math teacher, staring at every calculation formula he wrote on the blackboard, and listening to every sentence he explained.

But only Jiang Yu himself knew that everything he heard was plausible, and he couldn't even tell what he didn't understand.And when it came time to do the questions after class, he didn't know how to start.

For the content of the four semesters of the fifth and sixth grades, he has no way of knowing what he still lacks, let alone trying to make up for it.

Another subject he was terribly bad at was English.

English is the class of Mr. Xie, the head teacher. It stands to reason that he starts from scratch, but he still lags behind most of his classmates.Teacher Xie said that other students had laid some foundations in the sixth grade, but he did not, and it took some time to adapt.

Jiang Yu was fine on the surface, but in fact he was very anxious about his slumped studies.

He didn't know what to do, he wanted to catch up with himself but couldn't find a way, and he didn't dare to tell Qi Nuliang, worried that he would let him down.
