Chapter 49 Tongzilou
When he came to the family building of the garment factory, Li Sankui was dumbfounded: "Sister, why is this different from the building of Officer Li's house?"
This family building has four floors. The downstairs is densely packed with laundry poles. There is no room to walk on. There are also many poles and wires on the upper floor. Standing below, I was worried that the pole would fall and hit people.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Sister Aihua's father is the leader of the county. They are all housing for workers. How could it be the same? Let's go, let's ask which floor Accountant Chen lives in?"
After inquiring, I learned that Accountant Chen lives in the fourth room on the third floor. The two went up to the third floor, and Li Sankui stood at the entrance so shocked that he couldn't speak. There are houses on both sides of the building and a common corridor in the middle. This corridor is very long, with stoves and pans on both sides, leaving only enough space for one person to walk.
After a long while, Li Sankui came back to his senses and said, "Sister, why are they all cooking here? Are you not afraid of fire?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "They don't use coal for firewood, so it won't catch fire."
She was not surprised when she heard about this kind of tube building from her grandparents when she was a child, but it was really shocking to see it with her own eyes.
At this moment, an old lady wearing an apron with hands covered in flour came out. When she saw the two of them, she asked, "Girl, young man, who are you looking for?"
Because of the heavy accent, Tian Shao could only understand after listening to it three times: "We are looking for Accountant Chen, and a child told me just now that she lives in the third room."
The old lady shouted loudly when she heard it: "Accountant Chen, Accountant Chen..."
As soon as the voice fell, several families opened their doors and poked their heads out from the house. Seeing Accountant Chen come out, one of the curly-haired women asked with a smile, "Accountant Chen, is this your relative? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Accountant Chen still had that indifferent expression: "They are relatives in the country. Da Ya, San Kui, come in quickly!"
After the two entered the house, accountant Chen closed the door.
Li Sankui was a little disappointed when he entered the house, he thought Accountant Chen would be the same as Li Aihua's house! As a result, not only was the room full of various things, but the fan and TV were also missing.
Accountant Chen greeted the siblings to sit down, and made two cups of brown sugar water for them to drink. Li Sankui drank it in two sips, while Tian Shao drank more gracefully.
After drinking the water, Li Sankui got up and said, "Cousin, I'm going back first if there's nothing else to do."
At the age of sixteen, the family is already the main labor force in the countryside. Li Sankui is a boy, and the law and order are pretty good now. He doesn't worry about Tian Shao alone: "Then you go back! When you're done with your work and you have nothing to do at home, come out and read Sanya."
Li Sankui nodded and said, "I will."
Accountant Chen gave Li Sankui a small bag of peach cakes and said, "Take it and eat it on the way!"
Li Sankui looked at Tian Shao, saw her nodding before accepting it.
As soon as he left, Tian Shao took out three cards of great unity from his pocket: "Aunt Chen, I will work **** you for the next month."
"I told your Aunt Yang that the money will be paid to me after you work, didn't she tell you?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "Aunt Yang told me, but I have already prepared the money and don't need to wait until after work. Besides, I am not fully sure that I can pass the exam."
Accountant Chen felt that Tian Shao should be able to pass the exam, but he didn't say any more because he was afraid that she would be complacent. Then she told Tian Shao about her arrangement, teaching eight hours a day, from 8:00 am to 12:00 am, and from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm. "
Accountant Chen said calmly: "The scissors were borrowed by Mrs. He yesterday, and they haven't been returned yet."
The curly-haired woman let out a cry, then stared at Tian Shao and asked, "Girl, which commune do you belong to? I think you have a nice face, I must have seen it before."
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen you before."
Accountant Chen frowned and said: "Mother Tie Zhu, I have something to do, you want to borrow the scissors from another house!"
The curly-haired woman walked out awkwardly.
Half an hour later, the heart-piercing cry of a child came from outside. The sound was so loud that Tian Shao couldn't even attend class, and it took more than a quarter of an hour for the outside to quiet down.
Not long after it was quiet, there was a sudden sound of arguing downstairs. It turned out that two old ladies were arguing about the construction of the drying rack and scolded each other for half an hour.
Accountant Chen saw that Tian Shao's expression was not good, so he said helplessly: "Big girl, the environment here is like this, if you don't want to, I will refund the money to you."
In such an environment, there is no way to listen to the class with peace of mind. Tian Shao said: "Aunt Chen, the place I rented is about fifteen minutes' walk from here, and it takes six to seven minutes to get there by bicycle. Aunt Chen, see if you can go to my place for class." .”
Taking this opportunity, Tian Shao also said: "You don't need to take eight hours of class, just six hours. From 8:30 to 11:30 in the morning, and from 2:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon. Aunt Chen, you can see that this is fine." ?"
"Is your place quiet?"
Tian Shao nodded and said, "I rented a bungalow. It was quite quiet when I went there yesterday afternoon and this morning."
"Yes, but the time will not be changed."
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "Aunt Chen, this exam is divided into two sessions, one written test and one practical test. I still need to make time for reading. Six hours a day is enough for you to teach me."
Accountant Chen thought for a while and felt that what she said was right. There are still many questions to do in the exam, and these also need training.
After eleven o'clock, there were more people outside. The sound of talking and the clashing of pots and pans made it impossible to hear what Accountant Chen said clearly. She didn't want to embarrass herself, she got up and said, "Aunt Chen, then I'll go back first."
Accountant Chen already knew the place Tian Shao rented, nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go to your place in the afternoon."
Tian Shao said embarrassedly: "Aunt Chen, I'm really sorry, I have to run back and forth every day."
Accountant Chen shook his head, and said earnestly: "Big girl, such an opportunity is rare, you must seize it."
It was because the opportunity was so rare that Tian Shao went to the city to prepare for the exam under pressure. Of course, she also has this confidence.
Accountant Chen took out the vegetables she brought, and found that there was a piece of bacon in the vegetables. She shook her head and said, "This child..."
When he said this, a smile rarely appeared on his face.
Back to Wei’s house, Tian Shao told Aunt Wei about this matter: “Ma’am, I’m sorry, I made a decision without your consent. It’s just that the place is too noisy, and I can’t listen to the class with peace of mind.”
Aunt Wei said with a smile: "What's the matter! Accountant Chen is willing to come to my house to teach you, and I will be angry if I am too happy. Well, you go back to the room for a rest, and the meal will be ready soon."
