Chapter 9090 [Update 1]
When several people came out of the sales office, Jiang Bai still had a vague sense of unreality, because he had just signed a contract, with no down payment, and it was a pre-sale property. Jiang Bai felt like he was floating in the clouds and had a wonderful dream about having bought a house. He did not feel the joy of owning a house. Instead, he had an added pressure like a silent mountain, that is, he would have to pay back several hundred yuan in mortgage every month.
In 1997, the lowest local housing price was 560 yuan per square meter. Now it is the beginning of 1996. The apartment they bought has lower housing prices than the surrounding areas because they do not have the problem of blue-print household registration. It is much lower than the lowest housing price in 1997. Their total housing price is also 95% off. His actual purchase price is less than 500 yuan per square meter on average. He did not dare to ask for a large flat and insisted on the smallest house. In the end, Jiang Ning decided on a 120-square-meter house for him.
The policy on common area was officially implemented on December 1st last year. Jiang Bai bought a pre-sale property. After deducting the common area, the actual area he got was about 100 square meters. If it was divided into two floors, it depends on what kind of living room he wants.
If one wants a 6.2-meter-high high-ceiling living room like the model house, then at least 40 to 50 square meters of space upstairs must be sacrificed as the high-ceiling living room. If one wants to go up and down the stairs directly, with only one staircase to go up, then excluding the space of the staircase corridor, he can at least get 170 to 180 square meters of actual house area.
A house of 170 or 180 square meters is truly a large house, whether in the countryside or in a big city where every inch of land is valuable. Except for the problem of the child's school district, such a house is comfortable and livable whether he lives alone or as a couple with children in the future.
But at this moment, Jiang Bai had no vision of owning a large livable house of at least 170 or 180 square meters in the future. His mind was full of questions like "What should I do?" I will have to pay a huge mortgage of several hundred dollars every month for thirty years. I feel hopeless and my future is bleak.
Can he really earn such a huge salary every month?
The total income on his savings account is only 700 yuan, not even enough for him to pay off his two-month mortgage.
Even though my sister's shop makes a lot of money every month, that is my sister's money and has nothing to do with him.
Oh, it does matter. The more clothes he helps his sister sell, the more commission he earns. His sister said that she would pay him 500 yuan a month, which would help him solve his mortgage problem.
But he knew very well that the money he earned from selling clothes for his sister at that time was not enough for his sister to pay him such a high salary. He was already in the last semester of his senior year, and he would take the college entrance examination in more than four months. During these four months, their school basically did not have any holidays, and even the Sunday holiday, which originally had a day off, was reduced to half a day. He simply did not have time to sell clothes for his sister's store, and his sister paid him such a high salary, which was basically to help him pay off his mortgage.
What should I do if I feel like crying?
He couldn't tell what kind of feeling was surging in his heart.
As the second child in the family, he has an older brother who attracts all the attention of his parents and a younger sister who is loved wholeheartedly by his grandfather. He is sandwiched in the middle, like an invisible man forgotten by everyone.
From childhood to adulthood, his grandfather was the only one who loved him, kept him by his side and gave him love. It was as if a switch of automatic invisibility was turned on in him. He was always transparent and invisible. Jiang Ma only thought of him when her eldest brother got into trouble or when she beat someone.
Because Jiang Song lost the fight, as a younger brother, he didn't even bother to help his older brother.
Only at this time can he be seen by his mother.
But now, he clearly felt a sense of being favored.
Yes, between him and his elder brother, his sister prefers him, and this preference is so obvious that there is no concealment at all.
If Jiang Ning grew up to be the exact opposite of Jiang Ma, then Jiang Bai grew up to have a personality that was the exact opposite of Jiang Song.
Jiang Song is lively, Jiang Bai is steady; Jiang Song is active, Jiang Bai is quiet; Jiang Song is impulsive, Jiang Bai is calm...
Just like Jiang Ning subconsciously grew in the opposite direction of Jiang Ma, although Jiang Bai never said it, he didn't like Jiang Song, or even felt jealous of him.
But he had never harmed Jiang Song out of jealousy, he just didn't like him and stayed away from him.
From Jiang Ning's perspective, if we analyze Jiang Song objectively, Jiang Song actually has many advantages that neither she nor Jiang Bai possesses, such as the ability to take action, almost reckless self-confidence, an optimistic attitude, etc., but he also has a fatal flaw that always causes him to fail, that is, he is too gangster-like and too concerned about brotherhood. This causes him to be stabbed in the back by his brothers every time he succeeds, and he suffers a complete defeat. However, he has many friends, brothers, and women to help him, which makes him always believe that brotherhood is more important than interests. So next time, he will fail in the same way, again and again, but always fall on the same problem and is unwilling to reflect on himself.
To some extent, he is really like a husky, running wildly, not caring about anything, and not thinking. You say he is stupid, he is not stupid at all, but he will lose himself in the good words and flattery of others. Looking at him from a leader's position, if he was Jiang Ning's subordinate, Jiang Ning would not dare to use such a person. The uncertainty is too high. He is easy to use, but also extremely destructive. You don't know when he will cause you a big trouble because of a woman or a brother.
Jiang Bai was holding the purchase contract, which was extremely stressful for him at the moment, and he had not realized what this house would mean to his future. He was completely immersed in the joy of being favored by his sister. It was as if there was a big happy tail behind him, swaying left and right, and his face showed joy and worry at times.
Grandpa Jiang did the same, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly forward. On one side, he felt the enormous pressure of his grandchildren carrying so many loans, and on the other side, he felt great joy that they had all bought houses in Shanghai.
But fundamentally, the joy outweighs the pressure. After all, if I don't want this pressure anymore, the worst that can happen is that I can just sell the house. But the registered permanent residence of my grandchildren has been moved to Shanghai, and in the future, if I tell others, they are Shanghai residents!
Shanghai is a real big city!
By the way, even he himself has become a Shanghainese. The more Grandpa Jiang thought about it, the happier he felt, especially when he thought about going back home for the Chinese New Year. He would proudly and complacently tell his old friends that he was also a Shanghainese. Thinking of the shocked expressions and disbelief on their faces, Grandpa Jiang's body was shrouded in a layer of visible joy, and he could even eat an extra bowl of rice in the evening.
However, the matter is not over yet. They have obtained the household registration transfer certificate. The next step is to go to Wucheng Police Station to get a certificate. Then they will bring various certificates and household registration transfer certificates to register their household registration here and settle down. They will contact the high school corresponding to the household registration here through the Education Bureau. After learning that Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning's academic performance in their original school is currently in the top three in the class and the top 200 in the grade of the county-level key high school, and Jiang Ning's score in the last joint examination was the first in the county, the school is also willing to accept these two students with good grades.
However, the school’s opinion is that Jiang Ning can transfer here at any time to adapt to the environment and teaching process in Shanghai. As for Jiang Bai, it doesn’t matter whether he transfers to another school or not, but his student status must be transferred here as soon as possible, and he must take the college entrance examination and the college entrance examination here.
The school could not give Jiang Bai specific advice on whether to transfer schools or not, as he only had a few months left. If he transferred schools, the learning and teaching resources of high schools in Shanghai would definitely far exceed those in Wucheng. But there was one thing they needed to consider clearly, which was that the languages of Wucheng and Shanghai were completely different. Although the teachers taught in Mandarin, teachers of that era did not have Mandarin exams, so they all had some local dialect accents. Almost 90% of his classmates were from Shanghai, and most of them spoke the local Shanghai dialect. In other words, Jiang Bai might face language barriers.
If you don't transfer schools, you can continue to study in Wucheng. You don't need to change the environment in the most important months before the college entrance examination. You can continue to study in a familiar environment. However, you have to take leave before the final examination and the college entrance examination, which may also affect the student's grades.
Jiang Ning actually has the same language problem, but she is only in the first year of high school and she still has two years to adapt. If she doesn't adapt well and her grades can't keep up, she may not keep up every time, and eventually she will go from being the best student in the county to being lost in the crowd.
This is also a problem that schools in Shanghai are worried about. Another problem for Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai is that the college entrance examination papers and question types in the provinces where Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai are located may differ from the content of the college entrance examination in Shanghai.
For example, a student from Shandong comes to Jiangsu to take the college entrance examination, he may suffer from acclimatization because he is not used to the Jiangsu test papers.
This problem is relatively easy to solve for Jiang Ning. Every time Shanghai issues a test paper, a tutorial book, or a question type that the teacher teaches in class, a copy will be sent to Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning will go through all the test papers here. If he encounters a question he doesn't know how to answer, he will call the teacher here. If he can do all the papers sent by the teacher, he will basically be able to adapt to the exams in Shanghai. But at the same time, Jiang Ning will also face the pressure of two assignments.
Of course, the school suggested that Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning transfer directly.
But after considering it themselves, Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning decided to stay in Wucheng, which they were familiar with.
The language barrier is not a small problem. If they cannot understand or have difficulty listening to the teacher's lecture, it would be better for them to stay in Wucheng. Wucheng No. 1 High School is one of the best key high schools in Wucheng, and the teachers all have rich teaching experience.
The Shanghai school understood Jiang Ning and Jiang Bai's choice. They were all very responsible teachers and said, "Then you should transfer your enrollment as soon as possible, especially Jiang Bai. You will take the exam in March. You should transfer before the exam. I will prepare a copy of the papers here, and you can go back and see if you can do them. If you have time, it would be best if you can finish all the papers."
Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning brought Grandpa Jiang back to Wucheng, sent Grandpa Jiang back to the store, went to the police station to complete the household registration procedures, and returned to Shanghai to complete all the household registration transfer procedures. After the school issued the certificate, they returned to Wucheng No. 1 Middle School and applied to the school for a transfer of academic status, but they still stayed in Wucheng No. 1 Middle School.
Jiang Bai's class teacher had already known that he wanted to transfer his student status to Shanghai, but the school was unaware of it. After receiving Jiang Bai's application, both the Director of the Academic Affairs Office and the Director of the Political Education Department were a little surprised.
Especially when he learned that Jiang Bai had gone from the last place in the class to the top three in the grade in the entrance exam, the director of the Political Education Department sighed and said, "It's the last semester of senior year, and his grades can still improve. He is a perfect candidate for an undergraduate degree. If such an undergraduate student transfers to our school, his grades will not be counted in our school even if he studies in our school!"
The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office said shamelessly, "So what? Who can deny that this student was trained by our No. 1 Middle School?"
Director Zhang is approaching retirement age, and he always reveals his mischievous side in private. "In my opinion, it would be good if his academic record could be transferred to Shanghai. If he can make progress in the next few months, he might be able to get into a good school in Shanghai. Then we can use him for publicity. He studied in our school from the first to the third year of high school, except for one exam. Even if he is not from our school in terms of academic record, who can deny that he is a student from our No. 1 Middle School in terms of publicity? Can Wu Zhong deny it? If they dare to deny it, I will be the first to spit at them. Let's see if they can save their face!"
Director Zhang had a smug smile on his face: "Just ask him, do you think he identifies more with our No. 1 High School or the Shanghai High School where he has never spent a day."
Director Zhang couldn't help but let out a sly smile as he spoke. "The admission rate in Shanghai is much higher than in Wucheng, and the competition is less. Maybe he can even find an upper-middle-class undergraduate. In a few years, when the classmates reunite, do you think he will go to the class reunion in Shanghai or to the class reunion at No. 1 Middle School?"
When Principal Sun and the director of the political and educational department heard this, they all laughed out loud thinking about how this student would look like when he attended their school's class reunion in the future.
He laughed and then fell silent again. One less student record is one less student record. In external publicity, of course, they can count him as a student of their school. But in the registration with the Education Bureau, it cannot change the fact that their undergraduate admission rate is one less student record.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Jiang Bai can be admitted to university.
In this era, good and responsible teachers are superior to those unethical teachers. They all understood Jiang Bai's choice and did not deliberately hold him up in the procedures. In fact, because the college entrance examination in March was approaching, they were afraid of delaying the students, so their transfer of his academic record was handled very quickly and all kinds of certificates were issued for him. Jiang Bai and Jiang Ning went to Shanghai together again and transferred his academic record to the high school corresponding to his Shanghai household registration.
From then on, Jiang Bai, who had studied in Class 8 of Grade 3, where he had studied for nearly three years, was no longer a student of the school, but a transfer student.
