Chapter 5(1/2)

The Zhao family's family hierarchy is: one Yu and three Zhao, with Zhao Feng at the bottom.

So Zhao Feng stood by and watched his second sister digging soil and making furrows in the field. He felt restless from top to bottom. He kept scratching his head and scratching his head until she announced that he was going back, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no one at home, Zhao Jianguo is at the health clinic, Yu Xiulan is at the team committee, and Zhao Mian is at school.

Zhao Ke had been working for two hours and was actually very tired, but she was proud of her work. After walking around the house, she saw a tear in Zhao Feng's top that was placed on the kang.

One of the factors that prevents you from being discovered when you are fishing at work is that you must be able to see it when you are doing it. If you cannot see it, you must take the initiative to say it.

So Zhao Ke offered to mend Zhao Feng's clothes.

Zhao Feng hesitated and declined: "I'm not in a hurry for my clothes. I can just wait for my eldest sister to come back and sew them."

The eldest sister sewed beautifully, and the second sister just did it.

Zhao Ke: "In your trouser pocket..."

Zhao Feng was excited, immediately looked at her face, went into the room, took out his shirt, and presented it to his second sister with both hands.

If this is the case, why should she talk nonsense?

Zhao Ke returned to her sisters' house, put her coat on the desk, and began to look for needlework.

Zhao Feng sat on the bench outside the window, idly picking up the high school textbook on the desk and flipping through it.

"Be gentle." Zhao Ke raised his eyes, "Don't tear it apart with your hands and feet."

Zhao Feng picked up the fallen bookmark and asked, "Second sister, do you still read it?"

Of course you have to watch it.

Zhao Ke glanced at it casually, but she didn't seem to be on this page last time.

She didn't take it to heart, she just thought it was Zhao Feng who had messed up, so she lowered her head and opened the eldest sister's drawer.

Zhao Mian is clean and tidy, and the drawers are also in order.

Zhao Ke found her sewing kit, took out the notebook she had messed up inside, smoothed out the crooked paper with her fingers and tapped it twice on the table to align it.

Suddenly, a piece of familiar and slightly old paper broke into Zhao Ke's eyes.

Zhao Ke pinched the edge and pulled it out. His eyes widened when he saw the content on it clearly.

Zhao Feng noticed that her expression was not right, so he put his upper body through the window to look. After a few moments, he was shocked, "The admission notice?! It's from the eldest sister? Isn't the eldest sister with bad grades like me?"

His shock was not only shock, but also a sense of sadness and anger: "We clearly agreed to be poor students together, but you suddenly turned around in shock" and a sense of bewilderment: "I am the only fool in the whole family."

Zhao Ke pursed his lips, gently put down the thin piece of paper, and picked up the textbook that Zhao Feng had just read.

There is no other handwriting on it.

She turned her attention to the books again and looked through them one by one.

Most of them are lesson preparation records, but there are two books at the bottom, the front and back of which are filled with high school questions.

It is obvious that the eldest sister is studying high school knowledge on her own.

Zhao Ke sat on the chair, frowning and looking at the "evidence" in front of him intently.

She didn't speak, but Zhao Feng couldn't hold it in, "Didn't you say that the eldest sister didn't pass the high school entrance exam? Did the eldest sister pass the exam?"

Aren’t the facts here?

Zhao Ke entered school at the age of eight. He wanted to lighten some of the burden on his family, so he studied step by step in elementary school and helped Zhao Feng do whatever work he could at home. He skipped a level in both junior high school and high school.

It seems that the eldest sister, Zhao Mian, entered school a year late due to illness. When she graduated from junior high school, her grandparents died of illness one after another, and Zhao Ke happened to skip a grade and enter the third grade of junior high school.

In those two years, the whole family had a hard time...

Zhao Feng looked at the second sister's expression and asked carefully: "Second sister, do you think your parents know?"

"If they knew, it would be impossible for them not to let the eldest sister go to high school."

Zhao Ke closed the drawer with one hand but did not put the notice back.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xiulan took the time to go home and planned to see what Zhao Ke and Zhao Feng were doing at home.

Outside the gate, she first saw Zhao Feng sitting quietly under the eaves of his sister's house. After entering, she saw Zhao Ke mending clothes in the window.

Yu Xiulan was surprised, was she really working?

However, Zhao Ke did not actively show her diligence as she originally planned, but silently picked up the paper on the table and handed it out.

Yu Xiulan was inexplicable. She lowered her head and looked down. Her hands were trembling and her eyes were red with anger: "You brainless girl! You dare to lie about such a big thing!"

"I just said her grades were not bad, so why didn't she pass the exam? I was worried that she would be sad and didn't dare to mention it more!" Yu Xiulan turned around angrily, "I have to ask her!"

"Mom!" Zhao Ke, with quick eyes and quick hands, reached out and grabbed her.

"Don't even stop me!"

Zhao Ke did not let go and said softly: "We have no reason to blame eldest sister."

Yu Xiulan was silent. For such a strong-tempered woman, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red.

Zhao Ke didn't know if she was the main reason for the eldest sister's choice, but she must be a part of it, and everyone in their family was a part of it.

She is not a silent devotee, and she fully respects and admires her eldest sister's dedication, but everyone should know her eldest sister's dedication.

This is the reason Zhao Ke told his mother.

"Mom, I am sure that I will transfer the job to my eldest sister and I will not regret it."

In fact, the most difficult thing is not to change a certain node, but to jump out of the inherent circle and open your eyes to see the world. Otherwise, if there is no Li Dasheng, there will be Zhang Dasheng, Sun Dasheng...

Zhao Ke wants to take his eldest sister to see the outside world.

Next to him, Zhao Feng promised: "Mom, I will also be kind to the eldest sister. If anyone bullies the eldest sister, I will fight him to the death!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah! It hurts~"

"Desperately?" Yu Xiulan slapped him on the back again, "I haven't told you yet, what are you doing in my house? I'll beat you to death first to prevent you from harming me in the future!"

"Mom!" Zhao Feng was a big man, running around the yard to avoid his mother's broom, "Second sister——"

The instigator, Zhao Ke, sympathized with his brother for a second, and then closed the window without hesitation.

Zhao Feng: "!"

In the evening, when Zhao Jianguo and Zhao Mian came back, the three mothers had calmed down and were able to face Zhao Mian as usual.

After the family had dinner, Zhao Ke took the initiative to invite his sister for a walk.

Zhao Feng's eyes rolled around and he couldn't hide his joy as he watched them go out.

Yu Xiulan didn't pay attention to his ulterior motives and told her husband about Zhao Mian's notice.

Zhao Jianguo sat in silence for a long time, lowered his head and sighed: "It's useless for me to be a father."

On the other side, sisters Zhao Ke and Zhao Mian were walking on the green field ridge.

"Sister, I really don't want to do the job in the bearing factory anymore."

Zhao Ke didn't say to switch to Zhao Mian, but said that she didn't want to do it anymore.

But Zhao Mian still frowned, "Don't say that deliberately to get me to agree. That's your job. I'll hold the hot hand. I'd rather just leave it like this. At least there won't be any burden on my heart."

"Sister, please listen to me first."

With that notice, Zhao Ke knew better how to talk to his sister. She deliberately showed a tired look, "I know if I say this, some people will think that I am lazy, but the work in the bearing factory is really hard, and it is not necessary at all.

suit me."

Zhao Mian retorted: "You are very good, smart and sensible. Others have no right to speak against you."

Zhao Ke lamented, no wonder Zhao Feng was treated like a jerk in the original book...

Her sister's doting aura was so strong that she wouldn't have been able to bear it if she hadn't already passed the age where her mind is immature.

Zhao Ke took his sister's arm, rested his head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Sister, you think I am good at everything, but I know my own virtues. The work in the bearing factory is boring and tiring, and the management of the workshop is difficult.

Yan, if you make the slightest mistake, you will be scolded, and if it is serious, your salary will be deducted. You have to tighten the strings all the time. When you go back to the dormitory every day, you don't want to move."

"Why didn't you say that?" Zhao Mian felt distressed.

Zhao Ke stretched out his hand, which made her feel even more distressed, "Look at my hands, they are all calloused."

Zhao Mian touched her hand, her eyes full of pain.

"I was able to pass the first-level worker examination, but it took a lot of effort. I don't know how hard it is for the second-level worker. But sister, you are different. You are smart and diligent. Master Yu in our workshop likes you like this. You will definitely not be able to use it.

I can get a salary increase in two years."

Zhao Ke became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and when he thought about it, "The salary of second-level workers is seven or eight yuan more than what I am now, and the salary of third-level and fourth-level workers is directly doubled. If it continues to go up..."

Zhao Mian couldn't help but think of it after her words.

She has always wanted to give Zhao Ke two cents, and she is not willing to bear the hard work for her sister. If she can earn more, her sister can eat two more stews every month and wear new clothes every season...

Moreover, Zhao Mian saw that her sister's temperament was no worse than that of the educated youth in the city, so her hands were not supposed to be doing hard work.

Zhao Ke was very generous and simply took the eldest sister's arm and shook it, "Sister, I can take your place in the elementary school to earn some work points when I come back. Anyway, Zhao Feng will do all the work at home, so just let me be lazy and enjoy the work. I don't mind."
