"
Big Brother, you only know how to talk nonsense. The tea leaves have been here for three years.”
"It's mainly because your boiled water tastes good.”
"Hehe, are you always this funny?”
"There's no other way. Life is already so difficult. We have to make ourselves happy.
By the way, Steel, do you have a job?
I didn't mean anything else. I just saw that your family seems to be having a hard time.”
In the end, Donald couldn't help but ask.
Every time he called this name, he could not associate it with this weak little girl in front of him.
"No, I'm mainly washing clothes for others now. Then, I'm fishing, catching hares, and collecting some firewood. I can still make a living.”
After Zhao Gangtie finished speaking, he was immediately slapped in the face.
Because a little boy with a pile of firewood on his back had started shouting before he even reached their corner.
"Sis, it's been two weeks since school started. Our teacher is urging me to pay my tuition fees again. He said that if I don't pay it now, he'll come to visit me tomorrow.”
Tuition fees were actually not expensive these days. It was only 2.50 yuan per semester.
It was almost one-eighth of an intern's salary.
This little money included tuition and textbook fees.
However, for those who did not have a job.
It was a little expensive.
Because this was their monthly food allowance.
2.50 yuan for sweet potatoes could buy about 80 catties.
Eating too much of this thing would cause flatulence and heartburn, but it was indeed very hungry.
Donald saw a small pile in a corner of Zhao Gangtie's house.
"I'll think of a way. Don't worry, Quentin.”Zhao Gangtie frowned and sighed slightly.
"Big brother, this is my little brother, Zhao Gangdan.”
"Gang Dan, this is my savior, Big Brother Tang.”
Zhao Gangtie introduced the two of them.
"Savior, is it brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, I haven't paid my tuition fees. Can you help me pay them?”
Donald felt that the tanned and skinny boy in front of him had suddenly become very pleasing to the eye.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I told you, Big Brother Tang is my savior. He saved me from a group of hooligans.”
Zhao Gangtie's face turned red. He glanced at Donald and explained.
"How much is the tuition fee?" Donald asked.
"Hehe, not much, 2.50.”Gang Dan laughed. He knew that since Big Brother Tang had asked, there was a high chance that he would help him pay the tuition fees.
To be honest, he also wanted his face.
During the first two weeks of school, he asked for tuition fees every day for the second week.
Children were more afraid of losing face.
Because everyone was looking at him more and more weirdly.
Other than him, everyone else in the class had paid their tuition fees.
He felt his face go numb.
If this continued, he didn't want to go to school.
It was too embarrassing.
"That's not expensive." Donald took out a large piece of paper from his pocket.
"Take it to pay your tuition fees. Use the rest of the money to buy some rice and flour. It's not good to keep eating sweet potatoes.”
"Big brother, I can't take this money. You saved me and I haven't thanked you yet. I can't take your money anymore.”
Zhao Gangtie stopped him.
"Steel girl, don't be anxious. This money isn't for you.
Just pay me back when you have money in the future.”
Donald grabbed the steel girl's hand and placed the money in her palm.
"That won't do. We can't afford it at all.”
"You can't afford it now. That's right, because you don't have a job.
However, if you have a proper job with a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, it won't be a problem for you and your brother to support you. A mere 2.50 yuan tuition fee and a mere 10 yuan debt will be a matter of a month.”
Donald said with a smile.
Zhao Gangtie was not so optimistic.
Back then, their fathers were also from the steel factory.
Moreover, he was a driver from the logistics department.
They earned more than 30 yuan a month, so it was not a problem for them to feed their family of three.
At that time, she was still studying.
However, one day, Aunt Wang, who lived next door, came to her school and called her away.
When she arrived at the hospital, she heard her father say the last two sentences to her.
One was for her to take good care of her brother.
The other was to let the two siblings live well.
Under normal circumstances, his father's death was considered a sacrifice in the line of duty, and the factory should have lost money.
But at that time, his father was using the car in the factory to get private work.
Not only did he not pay a single cent, but he also lost the opportunity to replace his job.
Because his father's income was relatively high back then, he was usually extravagant with his money.
They didn't even separate their cigarettes and alcohol.
He didn't have much savings at home.
From then on, the steel girl shouldered the burden of the family.
The first was naturally to drop out of school.
In fact, the steel girl's grades were quite good in junior high school. Under normal circumstances, she could have been admitted to high school.
But if she went to school, what would happen to this family?
At that time, her brother, Gang Dan, was only six years old.
She needed someone to take care of her.
Moreover, this kid was considered to be gifted. He had been able to eat a lot since he was young.
Those sweet potatoes were as big as two or three catties. He could finish them in one meal.
If it was replaced by rice and white flour buns, then there would be no end to it.
Therefore, dropping out of school was the best choice.
On the one hand, she would have less tuition fees, and on the other hand, she could do some small jobs to supplement her family.
Now, three years had passed, and his younger brother was already in the second grade.
She had also grown from a little girl to an 18-year-old girl.
It wasn't that she hadn't looked for a job in the past three years.
On the contrary, she often went to look for him.
But it was not that easy.
There were only so many jobs.
There would never be any more positions if the radish in front was not pulled out.
Moreover, positions could be inherited.
When the father retired, the son would take over. When the son retired, the grandson would take over.
For those who had no children, they could even appoint someone to take over their job, just like Grandpa One.
Therefore, she could not even find an internship for the past three years.
Because she didn't have any connections in this area.
Originally, if there was a relationship, it was not a big deal to keep an idle person in the factory.
"It's not that easy. I've been trying to find a job for three years, but I haven't found one.”
A bitter smile appeared on the steel girl's face.
"I can arrange work for you. As long as you're willing to work hard, I don't dare to say that you'll be an official employee, but there's no problem with an intern.”
Of course, Donald didn't arrange for her to go to the Third Rolling Mill.
It was too far from here. One was in the east and the other was in the west. It would take a long time to ride a bicycle.
However, there was a branch factory at Sancha River.
The factory had a meeting a few days ago and decided to put the production capacity of oil in the Sanchahe branch factory.
Tomorrow was Monday, so he had to go over and start designing the new workshop.
After the design was completed, it would take about half a month to build the production line before they could start work.
When the time came, it would be easy for him to get an intern position.
"Really?"
The steel girl grabbed Donald's sleeves with both hands and looked up into Donald's eyes very seriously.
His eyes were filled with hope.
It seemed to glow.
Donald's heart skipped a beat.
"My heart is as clear as ice, and I will not be alarmed even if the sky collapses.”
The Iceheart Secret Art was indeed useful.
"It shouldn't be a problem. You can wait for me at the entrance of the Sanchahe Steel Plant tomorrow.”
"Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother!”
The steel girl was about to kneel down and kowtow to Donald to thank him, but Donald held her up.
He wasn't a landlord, so he didn't have the habit of making people kowtow.
"No need, no need. Just work hard in the future.”
"And Steel Egg, you should study hard too. Learn more and be a useful person. Your sister has done so much for you.”
"I know, Big Brother Tang. I will study hard and strive to get first place every time.”
His face was dark and small, but his eyes were especially big and bright.
He looked very energetic and energetic. If he studied hard, his future achievements would not be bad.
Thinking about it, it made sense. He could eat three to four catties of sweet potatoes in one meal.
He was still not long.
This meant that his brain had consumed too much energy.
"Big brother, why don't you stay for a meal? I'll go buy something.”
the steel girl said.
"No need. I still have something to do this afternoon. I have to go. Remember, wait for me at the entrance of the Sanchahe Steel Plant at around 8:00 tomorrow morning.”
"I know. I won't forget.”
The steel girl nodded her head like a timer, and the frequency was very fast.
Good heavens, he was really talented.
Donald waved goodbye to the two siblings, got on his bicycle, and rode to Dongzhimen.
When he got home, there was no one at home.
The rest days of the art troupe and the rest days of the ordinary workers were completely staggered.
It couldn't be helped. It was the nature of the job that decided it.
Donald took out his tools and started fiddling with the wood he had bought.
As a top-notch expert in the field, he also had a lot of knowledge.
Even if he was a part-time carpenter, he was still very qualified.
The entire bed frame was useless. All the nails were made of tenon and mortise structures.
However, it was still very sturdy.
He had polished the wood to a very smooth surface. In short, there was only one word.
It was very moist.
There were no thorns at all when he touched it, and it would not sting his hands at all.
"It seems that even if I lose my job in the future, I can still support myself by making furniture.”
Donald mocked himself.
Looking at the results in front of him, he was very satisfied.
This time, he didn't just make a bed frame.
He also made some small tables and chairs.
It was a complete set of furniture.
As there was no paint or lacquer on his hands, the color did not look good.
It was also because of this that it was absolutely safe and definitely didn't contain any formalin.
