Chapter 213

Weisheng went to college in 1987. The country started to collect tuition and miscellaneous fees on a pilot basis in some colleges and universities in 1989, and it was not until 1997 that all colleges and universities in the country began to charge tuition to new students.

Weisheng graduated from university in 1991 and completed his master's and doctoral studies in June 1996. The government had announced in January 1996 that no job placements would be given to graduates with associate degrees or higher, but this policy wasn't widely implemented until 1998, and the system wasn't officially discontinued until 2000.

Therefore, highly educated talents like Weisheng were still assigned jobs in the same year the policy was implemented.

But if it is a bachelor's or junior college degree, it is not certain.

Weisheng started college at the age of 12 and graduated with a bachelor's degree at the age of 16. Because 16 was still too young for job placement, he decided to pursue a master's and doctoral degree.

As for work, Weisheng still prefers to stay in school to teach, and fortunately this time she was not disappointed.

Because he started school early and skipped grades, Weisheng stepped on the bottom line of the policy every step of the way.

When high school was changed to three years, she was admitted to university. She also graduated when the university began charging tuition to all students. When the government stopped assigning jobs, she also graduated with a master's and doctoral degree on time.

Compared with Weisheng, Pang Zhou, who went to school according to the routine, was miserable.

He started primary school at the age of seven, just as the five-year primary school program was being extended to six. He then completed three years of junior high school and three years of high school.

I worked my ass off to get into university, but then I started paying tuition. OK, two or three hundred a year, while not a lot, it's nothing for the Pang family. Over a thousand for four years, but I'll have a permanent job once I graduate. Thinking about it that way, it's a good deal.

But who would have thought that after Pang Zhou graduated from university, the state would no longer provide him with a job.

Pang Zhou: If I had known this would happen, I would have dropped out of school earlier.

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Pang Zhou's elder brother Pang Hai had gone to the south to make a living earlier, and now he has made it big. After hearing about Pang Zhou's situation, he called Pang Zhou directly and asked him to go to the south to join him.

Pang Zhou thought about it and felt that since they were all working, it would be better to go look for his brother, so he packed his luggage and went to the train station to buy a ticket.

After buying the ticket, Pang Zhou went to look for Weisheng again.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Pang Zhou went to great lengths to get admitted to Zhongzhou Agricultural University, and like Weisheng, he studied veterinary medicine.

He entered school late, while Weisheng entered early, but Weisheng studied for a master's and doctoral degree simultaneously, so they met again at the Agricultural University.

Since arriving in Shouyun City, Pang Zhou had frequently visited Weisheng's home for meals. Because he'd been there so often, he'd become more familiar with him than anyone else. Now that he was leaving for the south to pursue his career, he naturally wanted to find Weisheng for a meal.

The Pang family is well off.

Big brother Pang Hai went south early and seized the opportunity to become a nouveau riche. Pang Jiang learned a trade and opened the first auto repair shop in town. Later, with the financial support of Boss Pang, he also became rich by trading used cars.

Pang He, who failed the exam, studied for another year, but probably because of too much pressure, he failed again. So he followed Grandpa Pang's advice and went to a technical secondary school.

The major that Boss Pang chose for me was excavator.

The country is developing at a rapid pace, so there is definitely work for the excavator profession.

Okay, the advice of successful people is worth adopting, so the third son of the Pang family went to learn how to operate an excavator.

But you know what, this major is really very popular.

But while the work was popular, it was also frustrating to constantly run into a construction team that withheld wages or a contractor who absconded with the money. Then Boss Pang thought again and invested money and effort to set up a very professional excavator team with external publicity.

Pang Laosan was responsible for leading the team to work, while Pang Ge was responsible for taking on projects and collecting various project payments, which also made a lot of money.

Let’s talk about Pang’s parents.

The Pang family originally lived in the town. After their sons became successful, they built a big house in the town. Later, Pang's father and mother first sold small appliances in the town, and later they started a chain of supermarkets bit by bit.

Now there is one supermarket in the town and two supermarkets in Shouyun City.

Like Weisheng, Pangzhou, as the youngest child in the family, was also extremely favored.

From childhood to adulthood, the way his parents and brothers treated him well was to give him lots of pocket money.

Because he was admitted to university, his parents and brothers rewarded him with a large sum of money.

He is not short of money, and even if he really can't find a job, he can take over his parents' supermarket.

But young guys in their early twenties all want to try their luck. Only after they have tried it do they realize how innocent they were at the beginning.

…

After having a farewell dinner with Weisheng, Pang Zhou packed up his luggage and the Qinma brand pickles that his brother had specifically requested and headed south.

Weisheng sent his childhood friend home and heard that her neighbor was going to sell the house, so he went there immediately.

The house next door has the same layout as theirs. If they can buy it, her grandparents will have space to farm.

After some bargaining, Weisheng had another property under his name the next day.

After buying the house, summer vacation was coming up in a few days. So Weisheng sent his grandparents back to town and started to merge the two yards.

Weisheng had the two courtyards connected, then demolished the original bungalow and built two small buildings with three floors above and three floors below in the backyard near the gate.

One was built facing the street behind, and the other was still built facing the front yard.

The two buildings give the impression that one of them was built upside down.

←_←

There are three floors upstairs and one floor downstairs.

The building facing the front yard was reserved for their own living quarters. The basement served as their own storage and guest rooms. The first floor, in addition to the living room, dining room, and kitchen, also had two bedrooms: one for grandparents and one for mom and dad.

Weisheng lives alone on the second floor. There is only one door, and when he pushes it open, he enters a large suite with all the necessary functions.

Wei divided the third floor into two suites, which were reserved for Wei Lan and Wei Lei's families to visit relatives.

Wei Lan and Wei Lei are both married. Wei Lan is marrying a college classmate, and Wei Lei's wife is his colleague.

Because they all followed the family planning policy, every family only had one child.

The two suites upstairs each had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. If they were to go home for the Lunar New Year, this type of suite would be the most convenient. If they got hungry or thirsty in the middle of the night, they wouldn't have to go downstairs.

The small building we live in still has front and back doors. However, the other building that will be used as a pet hospital only has a door that opens to the backyard. To ensure privacy, there are no windows on the back wall of the building.

The two small buildings are five or six meters away from the backyard gate, blocked by a high wall in the middle, and each has its own gate.

Although the backyards are not big, they are enough.

In the backyard of the house, Weisheng had two doors built, one big and one small.

The small gate in the center is a normal-sized courtyard entrance. The main gate is off to one side, a large roller shutter. Entering through the main gate is a pergola-like area. This will be a temporary pergola, but it will become a carport when you buy a car.

There is a pond in the corner of the backyard, and a set of stone tables and stone benches will be placed in the yard.

A small carport will be built on one side of the yard near the pet hospital, and no other arrangements will be made after that.

After all, this is the facade of a pet hospital, so there is no need to make it too lifelike.

By the way, since the two small buildings were built at the back, the combined front yard is more than 200 square meters.

Weisheng asked the craftsmen to rebuild the courtyard wall, blocking the original gate and only opening a gate in the middle of the courtyard for people to enter and exit.

When the work was done, the craftsmen were asked to build a corridor along the courtyard wall, and also to add a corridor in front of the courtyard gate and the building gate.

In addition, Weisheng also had a small fish pond dug in a corner of the yard to raise fish.

Weisheng used the remaining space to grow vegetables for his grandparents.

For such a large project, the construction materials alone would be a considerable expense. Fortunately, the micro-space had everything it needed, so it was more than enough to build two small buildings, let alone two more.

And if you don't use them in this life, you will never have the chance to use them again in the future.

Summer vacation was the perfect season for construction, and since Weisheng was paying enough, the contractor hired more workers. More people meant faster work. And since Weisheng only wanted to build two three-story buildings, he could move faster.

In addition, in order to increase the speed, Weisheng also took out some blenders and other things in the space.

So the project that was supposed to take about three months was finally completed in just one and a half months.

But building a building is only the most basic thing, decoration is also the top priority...

From June to July and August, Weisheng spent the entire summer vacation working on the building construction and decoration. Fortunately, it was finally completed before school started.

I found all the furniture that had been in the space for who knows how many years, tidied it up and piled it into the small building.

One for grandparents, one for mom and dad, and one for the living room, dining room and kitchen.

After the job is done, it will be mine and the brothers and sisters on the third floor.

Weisheng cleared out a lot of furniture from the space, not only did he not have to worry about the formaldehyde problem, but he also saved a lot of money. And since it was obvious that the furniture was not new, he lied to her again.

The pet hospital on the other side also displayed a lot of equipment, instruments and supplies that had been collected previously.

It was not even the year 2000 yet, and not many people were taking their pets to the doctor, so Weisheng planned to wait until 2000 before officially opening for business.

However, she still applied for a business license and chose an auspicious day to open the business.

She is currently teaching at the university, so she has winter and summer vacations. Plus, university classes are quite extensive, both academic and professional, so she doesn't have classes every day. So, when she's not teaching, she can look after the store.

Once we officially open for business, it will be enough to hire two more people.

Grandpa and grandma still lived with Wei Sheng in Shouyun City. Zhou Ruixue originally ran a tailor shop in the town, but later went to the garment factory in the south with Wei Shi'an to buy a batch of goods. So the tailor shop in the town was transformed into a clothing store.

She also makes clothes, but usually sells ready-made clothes.

As she became increasingly busy, Wei Shi'an leased her family's land to the villagers and moved to the town.

He found a job as a night watchman in the town, working at night and resting during the day, and then he could also help Zhou Ruixue during the day.

Compared with the Pang brothers, Wei Lan and Wei Lei both went to work within the system after graduating from university, so there is no need to worry about them being laid off, but they also completely lost the possibility of getting rich overnight.

They both came at a good time. They went to college without spending any money, were assigned good jobs after graduation, and were allocated a house within two years of working.

Now I live a normal life, protected from the elements. As long as I don't have any mental breakdowns, I can work smoothly until retirement.

Whether it was Wei Lan and Wei Lei's small family, or Wei Shi'an and Zhou Ruixue's, they all had some savings, but not so much that they could squander them lavishly. It could be said that the Wei family today was exactly what Wei Sheng had hoped for—contentment with a modest fortune.
