Chapter 40 The first day of school
It took Ye Lin a whole morning and half an afternoon to clean up the rags in the yard. Fortunately, the recycling station was not too far away, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to finish it in one day. It took eight or nine trips.
"Uncle, this is the last trip. I will give you the money after everything is sold. You have been tired for a day, so you can go back and have a rest."
Hearing what Ye Lin said, the uncle shook his head and said, "What a tiring day it is! How can I put it, today is the most relaxing day for me."
"Uh!" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment by the uncle's words. He didn't expect that after doing so much work today, the uncle actually said it was the easiest day. So how much work does he have to do every day?
Probably seeing Ye Lin's doubts, the uncle said: "Although there were a lot of trips today, this job is relatively light. It's not like other jobs. Even though the number of trips was small, one trip would make me half exhausted."
"Ah! So that's it!"
Ye Lin seemed to understand that his uncle had to make a lot of trips to pick up scraps for him today, but these were not heavy tasks.
Even if the iron is a little heavier to load, you can carry less if it is heavy, but when the uncle is working outside, it is all in one piece, and it is impossible to load it separately, and of course it will be very tiring.
"Actually, I'm used to it. I can't help it. There are still people at home waiting for food."
"Yes! It's not easy. Uncle, if I need a cart next time, I will go to the intersection to find you."
"Okay! That's great."
When I arrived at the purchasing station, I saw Ye Lin coming over again. The manager of the purchasing station came over and said, "Why are there still more!"
"The last trip."
"Okay." The manager nodded, and then said to a young man: "Hurry and unload the weight."
The last cart is made of paper shells. Even if it is a big cart, it is actually worthless. Of course, this is only for Ye Lin, and it is different for others. Although it is made of paper shells, this big cart is also worthless.
Worth more than twenty yuan.
The weighing was very fast, and it took only ten minutes. The manager checked the weight, issued a ticket, and asked Ye Lin to take the ticket to the accountant. This purchasing station is state-owned, and even the manager cannot touch the money.
"Auntie, I'm here again." Ye Lin said to a middle-aged woman when he came to the accounting office.
"It's you little guy! You've been here very often today."
"Yes! But it's only today. I probably won't be able to come here for a long time."
"Oh, why?"
"Because I still have to go to school!"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my brain, you are still at school age." The middle-aged woman patted her head and said to Ye Lin: "Give me the ticket, and I will pay the bill for you."
"Well! Auntie, can you give me back three yuan?"
The middle-aged woman took the ticket, took a look at it, and then asked Ye Lin: "Why do you want so many three yuan?"
"I like three pieces."
"Okay, I'll give you three yuan."
Three-yuan banknotes are rarely seen in later generations. Even the first set, Ye Lin has seen many in later generations, but this three-yuan banknote was only seen after Ye Lin came to this era.
This cart of cardboard boxes was sold for twenty-three yuan and seventy-three cents. Since it was a state-owned unit, there was no chance of erasing the change. The accountant gave Ye Lin seven pieces worth three yuan and one piece worth two yuan, plus a small amount of money.
There is a fifty-cent coin, a two-cent coin and three one-cent coins.
"Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome."
"Auntie, I'm leaving now. I'll see you next time I come to sell rags."
"Well, study hard."
"Know."
Asking Ye Lin to study hard wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Just kidding, this is absolutely impossible, but people don't know what Ye Lin can do.
After coming out of the accounting office, Ye Lin said hello to the manager again, and then left with the uncle riding the scooter. When they came outside the purchasing station, Ye Lin handed the five yuan to the uncle and said: "Uncle, here is the money for you.
, you go back and rest."
"Then I'll take it." The uncle was not being pretentious, because there was no need at all. It is only natural to work and get paid.
"Take it."
"Do you want me to send it back to you?" After getting the money, the uncle asked Ye Lin.
"No, it's not far. I can just walk back."
"Okay, then I'll leave." The uncle left happily.
Five yuan is nothing to Ye Lin, but to the uncle, this five yuan is enough for one and a half months of living expenses for his family. If it is tighter, it is enough for two people for one month.
After the uncle left, Ye Lin also went home. School starts tomorrow. He has to go back and prepare no matter what. As Li Ran said, you don't have to study or you can sleep in class, but you have to go to school.
Ye Lin knew what Li Ran was thinking, didn't he just want him to be illiterate? In this era, graduating from junior high school was not considered illiterate, and Li Ran just had the ability to let Ye Lin finish junior high school.
The next morning, the family got up early. Today was the official start of school. Not only Ye Lin and Ye Qi had to go to school, but Li Ran also had to teach junior high school, so they all got up early.
"Mom, what time is it?" Ye Lin rubbed his eyes and came out of the room.
"You brat, today is the first day of school, so you should go and make breakfast." Li Ran said to Ye Lin while placing the food on the table.
"You can just go early. Why are you dragging me and my sister along?"
Ye Lin and Ye Qi are in elementary school, and the class starts at half past eight. At this time, it is less than seven o'clock at most, and there are still nearly two hours before class. Even if meal time is excluded, there is still about an hour and a half.
"There's so much nonsense, hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face."
"oh."
Seeing that Li Ran was about to get angry, Ye Lin had no choice but to brush his teeth and wash his face. There was no other way. Although Li Ran wouldn't hit him, he could restrain him. This was what Ye Lin was most afraid of.
If Li Ran restricts him from going out on Sundays, how can he do business, how can he sell the things in the space, and how can he make money?
"By the way, Mom, did you learn how to ride a bicycle last night?"
Last night, after dinner, Li Ran pushed his bicycle out. Of course, he went to practice cycling, but I don't know how he went.
"It's not that easy."
"It doesn't matter, just keep practicing at night and you'll learn it in no time."
Li Ran is an adult, and he rides a women's bicycle. There is no need to learn like a child. He just rides it directly and then pedals. This way he can practice very quickly. It is estimated that he can learn it in two or three days at most.
"Well, I guess I can learn it tonight. I could already ride a few steps yesterday."
"That's great. After you learn it, you can take my sister and me to school."
Hearing what Ye Lin said, Li Ran gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "That's a beautiful idea. I tell you, even if you learn it, I won't take you to school."
"Uh..., Mom, why?"
"You brat, you're still telling me who asked you to buy a ladies' car. It doesn't even have a big bumper in the front and only one seat in the back. How can I carry you two?"
"Uh!" Ye Lin scratched his head, wondering what was going on.
When he bought it, he was thinking that Li Ran didn't know how to ride a bicycle. If he had to learn it from scratch, women's bicycles would be easier to learn. He forgot about how many people he could take with him.
"It's okay, Mom. My sister and I can walk to school. Besides, you have just learned to ride a bicycle. Even if you do, it won't be very stable when you first start riding. It's better not to take anyone with you."
"That's right." Li Ran nodded, agreeing with what Ye Lin said.
After eating, Li Ran left first. Ye Lin and Ye Qi cleaned up the house and went to school. Ye Lin's house is relatively close to the school, less than 500 meters away, so there is no need to rush.
"Brother, your little girlfriend is waiting for you." Walking to the door of Li Ting's courtyard, Ye Qi poked Ye Lin in the waist and said.
"Uh! Sister, when did you become such a gossip? What kind of little girlfriend?"
Although Ye Lin said so, he still walked over and said, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Who is waiting for you! I'm waiting for Ye Qi."
"Uh!" Ye Lin was stunned for a moment and touched his nose.
Seeing Ye Lin like this, Li Ting smiled, went over and took Ye Qi's arm and said, "Why did you come out so late! I've been waiting for a while."
"Actually, you don't have to wait for us, you can go to school first."
If Ye Lin's house is close to the school, then Li Ting's house is even closer to the school. You must know that Li Ting's house is between Ye Lin's house and the school. If the house is not blocking it, the school can be seen at a glance from Li Ting's house.
On the first day of school, there were no classes in the morning. Mainly cleaning was done.
But these had nothing to do with Ye Lin. After entering the class, Ye Lin found a seat and sat down, then lay down on the table to sleep. As for cleaning, that was someone else's business.
"Ye Lin, if you don't want to work, can you move it? Don't delay your classmates' cleaning."
Just when Ye Lin was about to fall asleep, a voice sounded in Ye Lin's ear. Ye Lin looked up and saw that it was the squad leader and said, "Don't disturb my sleep."
"you……"
The class monitor is Liu Min, a girl who is pretty good-looking. As for studying, she is certainly the best in the class, but in a rubbish class, no matter how good she is at studying, she is still rubbish.
Just now, Liu Min was assigning tasks to everyone. A student who was cleaning the class came to her and said that Ye Lin was sleeping in the class, making it impossible for him to clean. No, Liu Min came over, but she didn't expect that Ye Lin didn't clean at all.
Don't give her face.
In this era, primary schools did not change classes. From the first grade to the sixth grade, they were all in the same class. Even the teachers were the same. That is to say, the teachers taught from the first grade to the sixth grade.
Basically, students will not change, unless those who study well are transferred to a good class, or students in a good class do not study well and are transferred to a poor class.
"Okay, go ahead and do what you have to do, and don't disturb my sleep." Ye Lin waved his hand as if to shoo away flies.
"You...you..." Monitor Liu Min looked at you for a long time and then said: "I'll tell the teacher to go."
