Li Chu looked at his brother-in-law and asked: "Jianguo, can you pass the technical secondary school or high school this year?"
Ding Jianguo looked at his brother-in-law in surprise. This brother-in-law must be a devil. He would not open any pot. Fortunately, his parents were out, otherwise he would have been punished again.
"Brother-in-law, can we not mention this?"
Ding Qiunan said next to him: "If you don't mention this, what should I mention? Jianguo, what will you do if you can't prepare for school? Go to the neighborhood committee and wait in line to arrange a job for you?"
"I..." Ding Jianguo did not dare to finish his words. He believed that if he said I wanted to play, he would not be able to escape today's meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
"I don't know what to do, but what can I do if I can't learn it?"
Li Chu thought for a while and said: "Jianguo, think about it carefully. What are you going to do if you don't go to school? Don't say you want to play. You can play for a day or two, but you can't play every day. You are still young.
, what will you do when you are older in two years?"
Ding Jianguo himself also had a headache, and he didn't know what he should do in the future.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think I should do?"
"Have you ever thought about learning a trade?"
Ding Jianguo was a little interested when it came to learning crafts.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of craft do you want to learn?"
"For example, cooking, carpentry, building bricklayers, etc."
Ding Jianguo frowned and thought for a while. He didn't seem to be very interested in any of this.
Ding Qiunan just sat aside and listened. She believed that her man would definitely make arrangements for her brother.
"Brother-in-law, are there any others? I don't seem to like any of these."
Li Chu thought for a while: "Let's do this. Let's sit down together and talk about it during lunch later to see what our parents think."
"Ah, I need to tell my parents!"
"Nonsense, why don't you tell your parents?" This time, the elder sister said it directly before Li Chu could speak.
"Okay." Ding Jianguo could only nod helplessly, hoping that his mother would not deal with him today.
At noon, I fed the two little ones and put them to sleep, while the remaining adults gathered around the table and ate the noodles made by Ding's mother.
"Mom, Dad, if Jianguo fails to pass the exam and go to school this year, have you considered what you would do without him?"
During this time, Ding's mother and father were also worried about their son. Originally, they wanted to see if their son-in-law could do anything, but they were too embarrassed to speak. Now that Li Chu took the initiative to talk about it, they felt a little relieved.
Father Ding put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, glanced at his son and said, "We have no other option. If it doesn't work, we can only ask him to go to the neighborhood committee and queue up first."
In fact, if Dad Ding retires now, he can let his son take over, but if that happens, the family will probably not be able to survive.
Dad Ding's current monthly salary is more than fifty yuan. If his son takes over, he will have to work as an apprentice. He only has a monthly salary of about ten yuan, and how can he survive.
Not to mention saving up money for his son to find a wife.
Mother Ding usually won't say anything about such important matters. If there is a man in the family, it is the man who has the final say on such important matters.
She just looked at Li Chu to see if her son-in-law had any good ideas.
Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had no other ideas, Li Chu expressed what he had thought of for a long time.
"Dad, Mom, I think so. Let Jianguo learn to drive and repair cars. After he learns this, he won't have to worry about finding a job. What do you think?"
His brother-in-law's words made Ding Jianguo forget about eating. He nodded repeatedly: "This is good, this is good. I am willing to learn to drive."
"Shut up and eat your food." Ding Ma's power was extraordinary, and Ding Jianguo immediately obediently held the bowl and started eating.
"Xiao Chu, the driving lesson you mentioned is indeed good, but where should I go to learn it?" This idea made Ding's eyes gleam.
In this day and age, being able to drive is a big deal. If nothing else, just look at the big truck drivers in the factory.
It would be even more extraordinary if I could drive a small car again. Now those who drive small cars are the boss's confidants.
"When the time comes, just go to my brother-in-law's Grain Bureau's fleet to learn. Even if you can't get the apprenticeship status, as long as you can learn from the master."
As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting at the table nodded. Ding's father and Ding's mother were very satisfied with this arrangement of their son-in-law.
"Will this embarrass your brother-in-law?" Dad Ding was worried that his son's affairs would affect others.
"Don't worry, Dad, we don't want to formally apply. It would be better to have the status of an apprentice. It doesn't matter if you don't have one. It won't embarrass my brother-in-law."
After eating the noodles, Li Chu continued: "Actually, it would be best for Jianguo to serve as a soldier, but he is a bit young."
"You can wait until he finishes studying before joining the army." Mother Ding suddenly said, "Would it be better if he has some skills like this and joins the army?"
"Mom, let's talk about this later. If you can get into a better unit, it doesn't matter whether you join the army or not."
Yes, it’s useless to say all this now. Let’s learn the technology first and then talk about it.
In this way, Ding Jianguo's future was arranged, and he was very satisfied with it. When he thought about being able to drive a car in the future, he didn't want to go to school now.
I can only think about this idea secretly. If he dares to say it out, let's see how Ding Ma will deal with him.
After dinner, Ding Qiunan helped clean up, and then went into the back room with Ding's mother to stay with the two children sleeping on the bed.
Xiao Hei just came out of the back room at this time. He had been in the back room since the two little masters went to bed.
As soon as Li Chu saw its dry nose, he knew that this guy must have come out because he was thirsty.
Xiao Hei doesn't have his own food bowl outside, so he doesn't eat.
After feeding Xiao Hei some water, Li Chu also entered the back room.
Looking at Ding's mother who was chatting with Ding Qiunan, she sorted out her words and then said: "Mom, have you been sweating a lot recently? Although you like to sweat, you still feel a little chilly?"
Li Chu's words made Ding Ma's eyes widen. Can you tell this?
"Xiao Chu, you...how did you know?"
Ding Qiunan also looked at her husband curiously.
"Mom, are there any other symptoms? Tell me and I'll prescribe you some medicine."
"Also, I don't know why during this period, I can't control my temper. I want to lose my temper at every little thing."
After thinking for a while, Ding's mother said again: "Also, I always feel that my waist is sore and swollen, and..."
Speaking of this, Ding's mother didn't say anything further. She suddenly thought that she was not only facing a doctor, but also her daughter's husband. There were some words that she really couldn't say.
"Mom, what else is there? After you finish speaking, let Li Chu give you a good treatment." Ding Qiunan saw that her mother stopped talking and urged.
Li Chu knew why Ding's mother stopped talking. He waved his hand at his wife to signal her not to ask.
"Mom, can I take your pulse?"
Seeing that Li Chu didn't ask further, Ding's mother breathed a sigh of relief. There were still several symptoms that she really couldn't tell her daughter's husband.
