Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.
He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...
Now, the college entrance examination is over and we just have to wait for the results to be released.
At that time, it took five years to go to university, and after graduation, you would be assigned a job.
If you go to college at this time, you will be given money.
You will also be given some subsidies every month, which is not only enough for your own living, but also can be used to subsidize your family.
This is the best time to go to college.
The main thing is that I don’t have to spend any money and I can have food, which reduces the burden on my family and also gives the family some subsidy.
I don’t spend any money at school, so I give my monthly allowance to my family.
Many people do this, and it is considered good at this time.
When food was most scarce, many people starved to death.
At that time, even if you gave you a wife for free, no one would want her.
One more person means one more person to feed, and the food, which is already limited, is not enough.
There is no need for any special formalities when getting married, let alone a dowry. Sometimes you will even be given money.
Now it's okay, the hardest time is over.
Being able to go to college is the dream of many people. Now it all depends on how you do in the exam.
There are many people taking the exam this time, and many people are admitted. After all, there is a shortage of talent in all walks of life.
The college entrance examination at this time is for the purpose of cultivating talents in the future.
Zhang Weiguo began to worry about them, wondering how they would do in the exam and what university they would be able to go to.
It is not easy to get into a good university, with so many people taking the exam.
Especially those in rural areas, knowing that this opportunity is hard-won, they study very hard.
Compared with these people, the people in Sijiu City are much worse.
No matter what, life in the city is much better than life in the countryside.
Even if they fail to get into university, they can still be assigned a job, but the timing is uncertain.
However, those people in rural areas, if they fail to get into college, will not have such conditions and they can only go back to farming.
Living a life with their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky, this is their fate and they cannot live without such a life.
Without the land, they even have trouble getting food.
The college entrance examination results came out very quickly, and all three of them did well, so there would be no problem for them to be admitted to Yenching University.
The key is that it is close to home in the old city, and I can go home for a few days during the holidays.
Now that the child is older, he doesn't need to be with his mother all the time. With his mother-in-law looking after him, there isn't much of a problem.
All three of them are from Yenching University, so they can take care of each other.
When school started, Zhang Weiguo sent them to school.
First of all, we were divided into dormitories, with three people living together in one dormitory.
This way we can take care of each other, especially since there are eight people living in one dormitory.
Except for Ran Qiuye and the other three who were from Sijiucheng, there were two more who were from Sijiucheng, and the remaining three were all from rural areas.
In order to take care of the relationship within the dormitory, Zhang Weiguo decided to take everyone in the dormitory out for a meal.
After the dormitories were divided, there was nothing else to do.
Zhang Weiguo took everyone in his dormitory to eat at Donglaishun. Not many people could come here to eat.
It is still very expensive to have a meal here. Most people don’t want to eat such expensive food. With the money, it is better to cook it yourself.
Among them, the three who came from rural areas had never eaten Donglaishun, and the two who lived in the old city were of average condition and had never eaten Donglaishun either.
Zhang Weiguo came to Donglaishun, found a big table, got two pots, and ordered a pound of mutton for each person.
Don’t worry about anything else, just eat the mutton first.
Zhang Weiguo told everyone how to eat mutton and how to prepare the dipping sauce.
At the beginning, everyone was a little reserved, but after the mutton was cooked and they tasted the delicious mutton, they relaxed.
People like them rarely have the chance to eat meat, and even less chance to eat mutton.
Now that you have tasted such delicious food, you might as well take this opportunity to eat more.
There is no problem eating mutton, but I can't eat so much pork.
After they had eaten, Zhang Weiguo took them to a roast duck restaurant.
Each person got a roast duck. Zhang Weiguo bought more than ten roast ducks, each costing eight yuan, so he spent a hundred yuan in total.
Give them one each, that way it's fair.
There are several people at home, and if I don’t buy it for them, my son will probably make a fuss.
After Zhang Weiguo finished shopping, he sent them back to the dormitory.
When the holidays come, they can just go home by themselves.
They are all in the old city, not far from home.
Zhang Weiguo was very happy that the three of them were admitted to Yenching University.
In later generations, it would be extremely difficult to get into this university. If one person could get in, it would be a great honor for one's ancestors, let alone three.
This is also the reason why Zhang Weiguo was happy and took them to eat delicious food.
These people are all elites, so we must build good relationships with them.
It's not easy for anyone to get into this university.
Don’t think that they are in such a bad state now. We don’t know how they will become in the future.
This can also be considered as Zhang Weiguo's investment, and he is building good relationships in advance.
After saying goodbye to his wife and others, Zhang Weiguo went home.
He is still needed to make arrangements at home.
The two little guys will still miss their mother when they suddenly leave her.
Zhang Weiguo was afraid that the two little ones would make trouble at home and his mother-in-law would not be able to bear with both of them.
It’s better to go home quickly to check on them, to prevent the two little guys from causing any trouble.
Zhang Weiguo returned home and saw that the two little guys were not making any noise at all.
Zhang Weiguo took out the roast duck he had bought and gave it to them.
Zhang Weiguo felt relieved when he saw that the two little guys were fine.
I told them about my mom's situation at school and that she would be able to come back during the holidays.
Now, going to college has nothing to do with Zhang Weiguo.
They learn whatever they like, and they all have the ability to think for themselves.
When they finish their studies, where they will be assigned depends on their luck.
If there really isn't any, they still have Zhang Weiguo to back them up.
By that time, Zhang Weiguo's supermarket should be ready, and he could let them be responsible for selling clothes.
Girls are still very interested in these clothes, and it is also their favorite job.
Five years is a long time and they can learn a lot.
In the process, they may also change their minds.
As they are exposed to more things and their horizons broaden, they will gradually know what they like.
They have plenty of opportunities to try and make mistakes.
It doesn’t matter even if they have always been wrong. Zhang Weiguo has the ability to support them.
Others go to college to get a good job.
They go to college to discover what they like and find what they love to do.
Five years is enough time for them to find out what they want to do and know what they want.
