Aunt Wang didn't understand what Master Zhong meant by talking about parts at first, but now she does.
Master Zhong told her three times to repeat it, and that she needed to find the parts before Aunt Wang finally understood.
Who could remember all of this, let alone find the corresponding information? If she had that ability, she would have gone to learn how to repair tractors. Why would she be a rural woman?
Seeing that Aunt Wang understood her meaning, Zhong Wanwan continued:
“The components of a capacitor are smaller, more delicate, and harder to identify than the ordinary components in this room.”
“Even with Xiaobaiyang’s foundation and ability to draw, I struggled to remember what I said after only two repetitions. Not to mention Nannan and Maisui, who have been learning for several months and can only remember 20-30% at most.”
"But Wang Erlaizi not only memorized it, but also matched it, without having studied it or knowing how to draw. This is no ordinary talent!"
Aunt Wang came to her senses and said:
"You mean this lazybones is a genius?"
My goodness, she gave birth to a genius! I never expected this!
Zhong Wanwan was also surprised; she was quite shocked at the time, even more so than when she discovered Xiao Baiyang's talent.
The young poplar tree has a good talent, which can be attributed to heredity, since its father is also a very talented person who provided early education for the young poplar tree.
But Er Laizi is completely different. This guy has a bad reputation, doesn't do any proper work, and is lazy. Who would have thought he was so smart!
After being puzzled for two days, Zhong Wanwan finally figured it out for herself.
In later generations, which of those inventions of lazy people's gadgets wasn't conceived by lazy people?
What does this tell us?
This shows that some people are genuinely lazy, while others are lazy because they have more convenient methods. She thinks Wang Erlaizi probably belongs to the latter.
Zhong Wanwan said with certainty:
"Aunt Wang, if I weren't a woman and it weren't difficult for me to take on a male apprentice, and if our commune weren't unable to allocate another apprenticeship, Wang Erlaizi would truly be a promising candidate!"
Aunt Wang felt very sorry for him. No matter how lazy Wang Erlaizi was, no matter how bad his reputation was, and no matter how much Aunt Wang complained, he was still her son.
He has this talent, but his family can't get him a job, and Aunt Wang feels a little sorry for her son.
Aunt Wang smiled bitterly:
“He’s been like this since he was little. He can remember everything his neighbors have said after hearing it just once. I just think he has a knack for causing trouble and he never thinks of it in a positive light. I guess I’ve held him back!”
"If we, as parents, were capable enough to work in the city and expose him to these things earlier, we might have discovered them much sooner!"
Actually, this isn't Wang Da Niang's fault. This isn't to excuse Wang Da Niang, but the main problem is that Wang Er Lai Zi is so smart, yet he doesn't show any of that in his studies.
Back in school, I was always a top student when it came to final exams, always managing to get 60 points or less, never even scoring 61.
Don't say you think he's a genius or that you don't think his IQ is below normal; that's all just Aunt Wang's biased view.
Of course, Aunt Wang didn't understand the ultimate scoring method of later generations. You should know that being able to accurately score 60 points every time was also Wang Erlaizi's skill.
Zhong Wanwan comforted her:
"Aunt Wang, what's with all this talk about ability or incompetence? Haven't you worried enough about Wang Erlaizi already?"
"I was thinking of having Wang Erlai learn from me recently, and after we finish with the food factory, I'll have him learn more from Xiaobaiyang and Youliang. Xiaobaiyang can draw, so he should be able to understand most of what I'm saying!"
"Although there are no spots available for him to be an apprentice, learning a skill might come in handy in the future!"
We won't have to wait many years; after the New Year, it will be 75 years, and private enterprises will emerge in at most 5 years.
In the 1980s, car repair technicians were in high demand and short supply.
That's not just about using it; if Wang Erlaizi worked hard and did it himself, he might even be richer than Zhong Ba in later generations!
However, Zhong Wanwan couldn't say anything about these things. She was only able to guide them a little because the Wang family was grateful and reciprocated their kindness; otherwise, she wouldn't have said a word.
Grandma Wang's ability to make her life better and better, and her ability to think of making dried apples and growing chives on the kang (heated brick bed) in winter, shows that she is definitely not someone who lacks foresight.
As soon as Zhong Wanwan mentioned it, Aunt Wang knew what was going on.
Whether there are any spots or not, Aunt Wang believes that it depends on human effort. If you can learn the skill, then you are preparing for the opportunity.
What's that saying? Opportunities are always for those who are prepared.
As long as Wang Erlaizi learns to repair tractors, she will rack her brains and empty her pockets to find a way to get him a job at the factory.
Aunt Wang gratefully grasped Zhong Wanwan's hand and said:
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, Er Laizi wouldn't have had this opportunity!"
"The old lady doesn't have much to offer, she just dries apples. You can keep it for a treat!"
Zhong Wanwan knew all too well how hard it was to dry apples, so it was really difficult to accept Wang Da Niang's gift. But judging from Wang Da Niang's attitude, she would get angry if she didn't accept it.
Zhong Wanwan sighed inwardly, and said meaningfully:
"Aunt Wang, I'd like to learn from you how to grow chives in winter. Once this matter at the food factory is over, I'll come to your house and learn from you when I have time. Is that alright?"
Learn how to grow chives? These things have roots, they can survive as long as it's warm indoors, you don't need to learn how.
Besides, if Master Zhong were to nail a wooden box to grow chives on his small kang (heated brick bed), there would be nowhere for anyone to live.
Just as Aunt Wang was about to say no, that she could just come and harvest whatever she wanted from the plants she grew, Zhong Wanwan squeezed her hand, and Aunt Wang immediately understood.
He didn't actually want to learn how to grow chives; he was using the excuse of learning how to grow chives to go to her house and answer Wang Erlaizi's questions.
Otherwise, it wouldn't look good if a woman like Wang Erlaizi, a bachelor, were to be around her!
Aunt Wang held Zhong Wanwan's hand tightly, looking at her gratefully. She wanted to say a few words of thanks, but such a great kindness could not be expressed in words.
Aunt Wang was determined. She might not be good at anything else, but if anyone went against Master Zhong, they would be going against her, Aunt Wang.
Master Zhong is a young woman, and she's too shy to lay a hand on him or say anything harsh. But she's capable; from now on, Master Zhong will be under her protection!
Zhong Wanwan was unaware that she was about to be joined by the strongest "bodyguard".
After that, whenever there was a "bloody storm," someone would stand in front of her, cursing the other woman until she wished she could turn into a quail, and tearing the clueless young man into shredded potatoes.
Of course, Aunt Wang didn't expect that she thought opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
But before Wang Erlaizi was ready, the opportunity came ahead of schedule...
