Chapter 4 Study Hard



Reborn with a warehouse, Zhou Yuan felt not only happy but also very fortunate.

When I think about it, I have no talent or virtue, and have made no contribution to society or my hometown, but I have received such a generous gift from life. I feel ashamed if I don’t make something of myself in the future!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan took out the book he had just borrowed, sat upright at the head of the bed, and began to read seriously.

Construction engineering is a vast subject.

Learning engineering construction technology mainly includes the understanding and calculation of drawings, plan drawings, cross-section drawings, and three-dimensional drawings, and being able to understand them, calculate them, and become proficient in them.

Others include cement grade, steel bar type, concrete structure, strength, etc.

There are also on-site surveys, construction techniques, quality monitoring, etc., which are very complicated and there are many things to learn and master.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuan was a reborn person and brought back many memories from his previous life. In addition, he had a high school education, so he had no difficulty reading this kind of technical book. He just had to read and remember the various introductions above, especially the key points.

These shouldn't be too difficult for him.

There is a saying that goes, if you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle.

I am afraid of the word "serious" in everything.

Zhou Yuan was reading a book diligently when his fellow villager ran over with a letter and threw it to him at the door: "Zhou Yuan, this is your letter. It's from home."

In 1985, we didn’t have mobile phones like we do now. We could see our family members in just one second by making a phone call or even video chatting.

At that time, people who were wandering around had to rely on writing letters to contact their families. Even if the drive was only a few hours, it would take three or four days for the letter to arrive.

As the saying goes, a letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Receiving a letter from home is the happiest moment for a traveler.

Even though Zhou Yuan was a reborn person, he was no exception.

At this moment, although the envelope was not heavy, Zhou Yuan felt it was heavy in his hand.

As far as I can remember, I hadn't written a letter home or received a letter from home for many years before my rebirth.

It was a very distant memory, a feeling that seemed like a lifetime ago.

Now experiencing this kind of life again, Zhou Yuan feels a different kind of emotion in his heart.

He hurriedly and carefully tore open the envelope, took out the letterhead, gently unfolded it, and read it under the light.

It says:

Brother: I wonder if everything is going well for you out there? I received the 30 yuan you brought back last time. Dad used it to buy medicine. Now he's much better and can go out to work.

The wheat harvest is about to begin. This year's wheat is growing well and the grains are plump. It will be another good year for a good harvest.

Unfortunately, Dad is sick and can only help with light work. He cannot work too hard, so Mom has a heavy burden to bear.

If you can get a leave from the construction site, it would be best to come back and help out for a few days and then go back after the wheat is harvested.

Special note: the last sentence is my own opinion. Mom didn't let me ask you to take leave and come back. Mom's health hasn't been very good recently and she's always coughing. I asked her to see a doctor, but she was reluctant to spend the money.

Brother, please come back and take mom to the hospital for a check-up. Don’t let a minor illness turn into a major one, which will cause trouble.

Finally, I have to tell you that I got 99 in math and 98 in Chinese in the midterm exam. I will study hard. Also, I have grown taller and am almost 1.5 meters tall now.

Let’s leave it at that.

Best regards!

My sister is a small round pen.

After reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Yuan burst into tears.

I felt both excited and emotional, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned and I couldn't describe the feeling.

My parents are in poor health, my younger sister needs to go to school, and I am the eldest in the family, responsible for the family's support.

The burden on my shoulders is not light.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan sighed and saw that it was not completely dark outside. He planned to ask for leave from the contractor Liu Dayong to go home and harvest the wheat, but he didn't know whether Liu Dayong had gone out.

"Zhou Yuan, you should read a book."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Zhou Yuan was just thinking about looking for Liu Dayong when the real God was already standing at the door.

"I'm just taking a look. Does the boss want to talk to me about something?"

Zhou Yuan put away the letter and the book, stood respectfully aside, and waited for the contractor to speak.

There is a saying that goes, "One never visits a temple unless he has something to do."

Since the contractor came to find me on his own initiative, there must be something going on.

Sure enough, Liu Dayong walked into the room without any hesitation. Seeing that there was not even a stool in the room, he simply sat on the edge of the bed, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then reached into his pocket to look for a lighter.

Zhou Yuan quickly took out a match and helped him light it.

Liu Dayong nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly as if remembering something, he took out another cigarette and said, "Zhou Yuan, you smoke too, right? Come on, have one, these are good cigarettes."

"Boss, I didn't smoke, you smoke."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand to refuse.

"Don't you smoke? If you don't smoke, why do you have cigarettes and matches in your pocket?"

Liu Dayong stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief.

"I really don't smoke," Zhou Yuan said firmly. "I buy cigarettes mainly to entertain others. I just hope the masters can teach me some more."

"Oh, I see. You are scheming."

Liu Dayong nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject: "No wonder my daughter said you're a good kid, it turns out you're really good. Work hard, your future is limitless."

Liu Dayong paused here, and Zhou Yuan quickly added, "Thank you for the compliment, boss."

"Can you please stop calling me boss? Call me uncle."

Liu Dayong took a long drag on his cigarette, exhaled a string of smoke rings, puffed out his cheeks as if he had made up his mind, and finally spoke again:
