Chapter 293 It Should
Chapter 293 It Should
After breakfast, Li Jiayi and his elder sister rode their bicycles to school.
After arriving at school, Li Jiayi did not go to class. After saying goodbye to his elder sister, he went directly to the office.
At this time, there is still some time before class starts, so the teachers are all staying in the office.
Arriving at the office door, Li Jiayi shouted, "Report!"
"Come in."
I knew it was Teacher Wang's voice right away. This office was originally the office of a teacher majoring in Russian.
Teacher Wang is the head of the grade, so he is the most senior person in the office.
Li Jiayi pushed the door open and walked in, shouting, "Hello, teachers."
"Hello, Li Jiayi!"
This is the teacher who knows Li Jiayi but does not teach him, greeting him with a smile.
A child who studies well is liked by everyone, even if he is not his teacher.
Li Jiayi came to Teacher Wang, took out the translated books and materials from his schoolbag and handed them to him, saying, "Teacher Wang, this is what I have translated. Please take a look."
"Okay, put it down! I'll take a look at it later. As for your translation fee, I'll calculate it for you later."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, but there's no rush. We can talk about it later when you have time."
"Well! Then go back to class!"
"Ok."
After coming out of the office, Li Jiayi returned to the classroom, not knowing which teacher was teaching the class today.
To be honest, Li Jiayi doesn't need to come to the technical secondary school for these courses, because he has already surpassed the technical secondary school level.
But he had no choice, he still had to get his diploma! For this, he also asked Teacher Wang if he could skip coming to school.
Unfortunately, Teacher Wang did not agree. In Teacher Wang’s words, since you already know it, you might as well learn something else. Anyway, there is nothing much to do at your age.
Teacher Wang is right! If he doesn't go to school, he will definitely hang out outside every day. It would be better for him to stay in school.
If he was old enough to work, Teacher Wang probably wouldn't stop him and might even support him not coming to school.
"Hey, Li Jiayi, where are you going on vacation?" my deskmate turned around and asked.
"Isn't the holiday yet? How should I know what to do then?" Li Jiayi said speechlessly.
"Uh! Okay! I'm going to the mountains with my classmates. Do you want to come?"
"Don't go."
Are you kidding? He must be crazy to go to the mountains. He had nothing before, so he went to the mountains to get some prey or something.
Now that he has everything he needs, why would he go to the mountains? He must know that these guys go to the mountains just to have a bite to eat.
But he doesn't need it! With this time, he might as well do something else, at least do something meaningful!
"Li Jiayi, we have more people, so there will be no danger. Besides, we have this." The classmate made a gun gesture.
Li Jiayi glanced at him and said, "I advise you not to go. It's not safe to go to the mountains with this thing."
"Ugh! Why?"
"Do you think all the prey in the mountains are dead? They are very fierce and may be gone before you can even shoot them."
"No way!"
"What can't you do? Have you ever fired a gun? Even if you have, are you a good shooter?"
"This……"
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether to go or not, but I still want to advise you that it's not that easy to stay in the mountains."
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, his deskmate said, "Li Jiayi, you didn't say that on purpose, did you?"
After hearing what he said, Li Jiayi simply ignored him. It was impossible to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.
They had never been to the mountains, but Li Jiayi had! If it weren't for his good physical condition, kung fu skills, and the powerful Browning 1191 in his hand, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he could come out alive.
The mountains today are different from those in later times. In later times, there were basically no large animals in the mountains surrounding the imperial capital.
But in this era, there are more ferocious animals such as wild boars, wolves, and even leopards.
This is no joke, it's really deadly.
Just at this moment, the class bell rang. Li Jiayi hurriedly took out his book and waited for the teacher to come in.
"stand up."
"Hello teacher."
"Hello, students. Please take a seat."
"sit down."
"Today we are going to talk about some new words related to industrial manufacturing. Please listen carefully."
After hearing what the teacher said, Li Jiayi could only open the book helplessly.
Because he knows all of these! To be honest, the most difficult thing to learn is Chinese. Apart from Chinese, other languages are very easy.
Of course, if there is a language environment, it can be said that one can learn faster. With Li Jiayi's level, if he were to stay with the Russians for a year or two, he would probably learn better than Chinese.
Yes, you read it right, it is better than Chinese. Let’s put it this way! Even if he studies Chinese for a lifetime, he may not be able to master it.
Because Chinese is so profound! And although he can speak some characters, he may not know them at all, or even have never seen them.
This is definitely not a joke, but the truth, and he may not understand the meaning of many words.
But English and Russian are relatively simple, there are only so many letters in total, just in different combinations.
The day passed quickly and school was over at five in the afternoon. Li Jiayi went to the bicycle shed to push his bicycle and waited for his elder sister there.
Soon the eldest sister came over.
"Little brother, are you going out tonight?" Everyone came over and asked. "What's wrong, sister? What's wrong?" Li Jiayi asked hurriedly.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and said, "The teacher asked me to translate a book, but I don't know some of the words."
"Your teacher asked you to translate a book?" Li Jiayi asked his elder sister in surprise.
"Yeah! What's the matter?"
"Sister, how much money did your teacher give you to translate?"
"Give money? What money?" the elder sister asked puzzledly.
Li Jiayi looked at the elder sister speechlessly and asked, "Translating a book is actually translating materials. You have to pay for it, and the minimum price is two or three yuan per thousand words, and the highest price may be five yuan."
"Ah! Is it true?" the eldest sister asked in surprise.
"of course it's true."
Teacher Wang was a relatively good teacher. He asked Li Jiayi to translate the materials and did not deduct a penny from the money, so he could get five yuan per thousand words.
Of course, this is just some basic information. If it is advanced information, the price will be higher, but it is not something Li Jiayi can do now.
Other teachers will also take on some translation tasks, and these teachers will give some simpler materials to students.
Of course, the teacher will also give some money to the students, basically two or three yuan per thousand words.
Because students sometimes translate incorrectly, teachers have to make revisions or review them.
But no matter what, he would give something, and with his help, my elder sister's Russian was pretty good.
It was probably because of this that her teacher asked her to translate these simple materials, but she was not paid, which made Li Jiayi speechless.
"Sister, return the materials to the teacher tomorrow. If you want to translate, I'll give you some materials. When you're done translating, I'll charge you five dollars per thousand words."
"Ah! That's not good! The teacher said this is my homework."
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes and said, "Your teacher is really smart. He even assigned homework."
"Forget it, just this once, and it won't happen again. If your teacher does this again in the future, don't blame me for causing trouble for him."
"What are you doing, little brother?"
"Nothing, big sister, remember, after you finish this translation, if your teacher asks you to do these translation jobs again, you must say that you can't translate."
"why?"
"No reason, I just want to ask you, if I don't help you, can you translate it?"
The eldest sister shook her head and said, "It can't be translated."
"That's right, you really can't translate it!"
"ok, I get it."
The two of them rode their bicycles and rushed home. Half an hour later, they returned home.
Because the woolen mill was closer to home, when they came back, their parents had already been home.
The eldest sister parked her bicycle, put her schoolbag in the house, and went to the kitchen to help.
"Son, how was school today?" Li Aimin, who was drinking tea, asked as Li Jiayi just entered the room.
"Not very good. The things I learn are too simple. I am not interested at all."
"Uh!"
Li Aimin didn't know how to respond. He guessed that only his son would dare to say that.
Who dares to say that? Just kidding, it's good enough that you finish your homework.
"By the way, Dad, have there been any changes in your factory?"
"Change? Change what?"
"For example, the food should have changed!"
"Bullshit, it's still the same as before, or even worse than before, just take meat for example."
"Uh!"
Li Jiayi looked at Li Aimin in confusion and said, "Dad, you must be wrong! The wool spinning mill has requested a lot of wild boars during this period!"
In the past, the woolen mill would buy at most eleven or twelve wild boars from him a week, but now, it would buy at least twenty per week.
Li Jiayi thought the food at the woolen mill was better than before, so he asked, but he didn't expect that it was not the case.
"Of course I know this. Your uncle Liao told me."
"Then why isn't it as good as before? At least there should be more meat."
This is also what Li Jiayi is confused about. There are more than 20 pigs in a week, and they are all very big.
Let alone tens of thousands of pounds of meat! At least seven or eight thousand pounds, on average, more than half a pound per person, and this is just the amount for one week.
With such food, not to mention in the factory, even at home, it would be a pretty good life.
"Your uncle Liao said that after the pigs were cleaned up, most of them were taken away, leaving only a small portion for the workers to eat."
Li Jiayi scratched his head and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"I heard that it seems that they are using connections. Isn't the famine going to be over soon? Some connections need to be used."
"I see! That's exactly what should happen. Anyway, the famine will soon be over, so it doesn't matter if we eat less meat."
"Son, what kind of thinking is this? How can it be right to give away the meat that the workers need to eat as gifts?"
