Chapter 11 Curse Is it a big deal to have a city hukou?
"Is your father dead?" Miao Guifeng turned to look at Yang Bingrong and asked Yang Bingrong.
"You are cursing your father to death." Yang's mother said.
"Didn't you say that? An elder brother is like a father! My biological father is still alive, and an elder brother is like a father, haha." Miao Guifeng sneered.
"You...you..." Mother Yang pointed at Miao Guifeng with trembling hands. She was thinking that if she had known that Miao Guifeng was such a woman, she should have stopped Miao Guifeng from marrying her eldest son.
"Let's go see your son." Miao Guifeng said to Yang Bingrong.
Yang Bingrong had no choice but to follow Miao Guifeng to see the child first. He didn't really want to pay. When Yang Bingrong thought about his own mother selling her own son to pay off his brother's debt, his heart ached. He still respected his mother, but that didn't mean he didn't have other thoughts in his mind.
Jiang Moli and the others were at their teacher's house, where Teacher Lu quickly steamed buns and steamed bread. After everyone finished lunch, Teacher Lu cut up an apple for everyone to share. Ren Peng and He Jingxian came from less well-off families, so they didn't bring any fruit. Unlike Jiang Moli, they didn't receive as much money for participating in a prestigious play.
Teacher Lu doesn't mind students coming empty-handed; she's already told them not to bring anything. She's willing to help students as much as she can, so they can eat more and fill their stomachs, instead of going hungry.
"This apple is delicious." Ren Peng said, "It's quite sweet."
"Jasmine brought it." Teacher Lu said with a smile.
"It's good that Jasmine has an important role to play." He Jingxian sighed.
He Jingxian wanted to be like Jiang Moli, but not everyone could play important roles like Jiang Moli and be in a good troupe. Many people would have to return to local troupes. There were huge differences between local troupes. The big ones were okay, but the small ones were much worse.
Many small troupes traveled to the countryside, where townspeople invited them to perform during festivals and temple fairs. These performances didn't earn as much as those that sold tickets, but they still made money, enough for ordinary people.
People like He Jingxian all hope to stand on the big stage instead of running around in the countryside.
"You can do it too." Jiang Moli said immediately, "There will always be a suitable opportunity."
"You are lucky too. You happened to meet someone who is pregnant." He Jingxian said.
"Luck is also part of strength," Teacher Lu said. "If Jasmine hadn't been prepared, she wouldn't have been able to make it."
It's not that they can't practice singing on their own, they can practice. Jiang Moli was like that before. She didn't play the role she has now, but she was prepared. When someone wants to step down, Jiang Moli can quickly take over.
"Teacher, we are about to graduate." He Jingxian couldn't help but say. She didn't really want to go back to her hometown and wanted to stay in Nancheng.
He Jingxian was sent here by a local opera troupe for training. She had to return to her hometown. If she didn't, the relevant departments would have to issue a transfer order. He Jingxian's performance was pretty good, but there were many people who were stronger than her.
It's actually very difficult to issue transfer orders to people who were specially sent here for training by relevant units. The local government has wasted their connections and their quota, and if this person says they don't want to go back and doesn't go back, isn't that equivalent to them taking up the quota for nothing?
Teacher Lu understood what He Jingxian meant. He Jingxian wanted to stay in Nancheng. It wasn't that Teacher Lu couldn't find a way, it was just that it wasn't suitable. For a student like this who was assigned to a specific training program, if Teacher Lu wanted to keep He Jingxian, it would require a lot of connections, and others would think Teacher Lu had a mental problem.
"Eat an apple, eat an apple." Ren Peng said hurriedly.
Ren Peng knew He Jingxian's eagerness; the two of them had come together. On the way here, He Jingxian had mentioned staying in Nancheng, even if it wasn't staying at Xiaobaihua, but at the Nancheng Drama Troupe like Jiang Moli was currently. Xiaobaihua wasn't something anyone could just go to, and He Jingxian didn't have such big plans. If she could go to the Nancheng Drama Troupe, she would be very happy.
He Jingxian herself didn't have the skills, but Teacher Lu did. Teacher Lu's main focus now was teaching, but she had strong connections and skills. He Jingxian hoped that if Teacher Lu could help her, she could stay here. It was too difficult for He Jingxian to find a solution on her own. He Jingxian had tried to contact the leadership of the South City Theater Troupe, but they were unwilling to give her more opportunities.
Jiang Moli looked at He Jingxian. She had long known that He Jingxian was planning to stay in Nancheng. He Jingxian had previously wanted Jiang Moli to speak to the troupe's leadership, but Jiang Moli didn't dare. After all, Jiang Moli herself was still thinking about transferring to the Provincial Xiaobaihua. She had no intention of staying in her original unit. It would be inappropriate for her to go to the leadership and say those things.
Even though Jiang Moli and He Jingxian are classmates, classmates are not relatives. Even if they are relatives, there is no need for Jiang Moli to sacrifice so much for He Jingxian.
Jiang Moli did not stop He Jingxian, but Ren Peng stopped He Jingxian. Teacher Lu, as a teacher, acted as if he knew nothing.
"Teacher, we will go back first and not disturb your rest." Jiang Moli stood up.
Ren Peng stood up and said it was the right time to leave. He Jingxian was about to speak when Ren Peng tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Okay, you guys go back and take a break," Teacher Lu said. "It's rare to have time to rest."
Teacher Lu sent Jiang Moli and others to the door. Jiang Moli turned around and immediately saw Sheng Jiahao standing behind Teacher Lu.
"Goodbye." Jiang Moli waved.
Sheng Jiahao smiled at Jiang Moli, and Jiang Moli withdrew her hand. Jiang Moli and the others walked a little further away, and Teacher Lu finally closed the door.
"Teacher Lu, it's really not easy." After those people left, Sheng Jiahao said with a smile, "I heard from my father before that you often have students come over. It's true."
"They are all excellent." Teacher Lu said, "What about you? Do you need to find something to do?"
"The company is under construction." Sheng Jiahao said, "It's in the preparation stage."
Sheng Jiahao also has to find people, produce things, and sell things, which is a lot of work. Sheng Jiahao's life is not easy at all. His family gave him money to start a business, and he doesn't want to lose that money, so he has to be careful.
After Jiang Moli and the others had left Teacher Lu's house for a long distance, He Jingxian said unhappily, "Are you guys not going to let me speak?"
"Do you want the teacher to help you and transfer you to South City?" Jiang Moli raised her eyebrows.
"You can stay in Nancheng, but I can't?" He Jingxian said.
"I was originally in South City." Jiang Moli said.
"It's really amazing to have a Nancheng household registration." He Jingxian said sourly.
"You are a person who is assigned to a specific position for training. Do you know what that is?" Jiang Moli asked.
"As long as there is a transfer order, what does targeted training have to do with it?" He Jingxian certainly knew that she was sent here by the local government for targeted training, but He Jingxian was unwilling to accept it, especially after she saw the prosperity of Nancheng. She wanted to stay in Nancheng rather than go back to the local government.
Once He Jingxian returns to her place, it will be even more difficult for her to come back.
"Tell the teacher that this is embarrassing. If every person who receives targeted training asks the teacher to help them stay in South City, will those drama troupes in South City have so many places?" Jiang Moli said, "Doing so will deplete the teacher's connections, and others will also have opinions about the teacher."
"Not everyone." He Jingxian muttered.
Ren Peng is a grown man, he doesn't really want to say these words. Ren Peng just stopped He Jingxian from saying those words in front of Teacher Lu, mainly because he was afraid that He Jingxian would offend Teacher Lu.
Teacher Lu wasn't a fool. Just because she was willing to treat her students to a meal didn't mean she was willing to help them secure a job. It wasn't like He Jingxian was unemployed. When she returned to the local theater troupe, she would quickly become a mainstay.
If He Jingxian stayed in South City, there would be many powerful people in South City, and He Jingxian would not have so many opportunities. Of course, if she could make a name for herself in South City, it would definitely be better than other places.
"If you do well in your local area, you may have the opportunity to be transferred to South City." Ren Peng said.
"The chance is very slim." He Jingxian said.
Before coming to Nancheng for her targeted training, He Jingxian promised the local theater troupe's leadership that she would study hard and work hard to develop the troupe upon her return. Upon arriving in Nancheng, He Jingxian forgot what she had said and decided to stay. He Jingxian wasn't afraid of being criticized by her former leadership; as long as she didn't return and work under them, she didn't need to worry about them making things difficult for her.
"Jasmine, what about you? I asked you for help, but you refused to help." He Jingxian said.
"I'm just an ordinary employee and an ordinary student. I can't help you that much." Jiang Moli didn't want to get into trouble. He Jingxian's ambition was too big.
It's not wrong for a person to be ambitious, but it's impossible for others to sacrifice themselves for this person's ambition. Jiang Moli and He Jingxian's relationship is not that good, and Jiang Moli is unlikely to make a big sacrifice for He Jingxian.
"You don't need to say more. I tried to act as a matchmaker, but you refused." He Jingxian said, "You are unwilling to help me, and you won't let me talk to Teacher Lu."
"Some words can't be taken back once they're spoken," Jiang Moli said.
He Jingxian can still go to Teacher Lu's house for dinner, and her relationship with everyone is pretty good. If He Jingxian said those words, everyone's relationship would definitely change, and Teacher Lu would not dare to get too close to He Jingxian.
Teacher Lu helped He Jingxian, but what about other students? Would they think of asking Teacher Lu for help? They would also say that it was just a small favor for Teacher Lu.
If something is impossible to accomplish, don't ask for it. If you really need to ask for it, ask the teacher for something that can be done.
"It's not like you're going back to that small place, so of course you don't care and can just stand here and make fun of me." He Jingxian was angry.
"Who made me born in Nancheng?" Jiang Moli glanced at He Jingxian. "If you have the guts, then travel back in time and ask your parents to stay in Nancheng and give birth to you there. Then you'll have a Nancheng hukou, right?"
Jiang Moli didn't say anything good about He Jingxian, nor did she comfort He Jingxian. She just left.
He Jingxian watched Jiang Moli leave and stamped her feet twice. "Ren Peng, look at her, look at her, she's really arrogant. If it were in the past, would she dare to say that? She's not afraid of being criticized!"
"..." Ren Peng thought that Jiang Moli was right, it was He Jingxian who had too much temper.
"Just because she has a Nancheng hukou, does that mean she can ignore us?" He Jingxian spoke rapidly, her words rattling off like a machine gun. "The teacher clearly told us not to bring anything, but she still brought it over, trying to show off her abilities? She's from Nancheng, a big city, so does that mean she can bully us like this?"
