Chapter 107 107

Jiang Dad was a high school graduate who didn't plan to continue college after the college entrance examination. He came to Shenzhen with a backpack to find a job. When he came to buy a lunch box from Jiang Dad, he found out that the college entrance examination was over.

He was confused for a moment, "Isn't it just June? How come the college entrance examination is over?"

The young man who had no money and was drinking free bone soup from Jiang Dad said while drinking soup: "This year's college entrance examination is one month earlier than in previous years."

In the past, the college entrance examination was on July 7, but this year it is on June 7.

Father Jiang hurriedly called back to ask about the situation in his hometown. It was a period of double-snatching. Uncle Jiang and his three sons were all at home, but he had not received much education. When Grandpa Jiang asked him to go to school, he only went to primary school and then learned the craft of a bricklayer. How could he know about the college entrance examination?

Among his three sons, the most educated only went to junior high school and did not go to high school. He was either building a house here or there all day long. When asked about the college entrance examination, they did not know.

Uncle Jiang instead kept nagging him about the flood at home: "Fortunately the dike blocked the flood. If it hadn't, all the food this year would have been drowned."

Phone calls were expensive, and Dad Jiang didn't want to listen to Uncle Jiang nagging about his hometown. He hung up the phone in a daze and asked Mom Jiang: "Ailian, do you have the phone number of Baizi's class teacher?"

Mom Jiang said impatiently: "I haven't even met his class teacher, where can I get his phone number?"

"Didn't you go to No. 1 Middle School to take care of Songzi for half a year last year? Do you have the phone number of Songzi's class teacher?"

"I've been out for half a year, and Songzi has graduated. I can't even write, where do I find his phone number?" Mom Jiang couldn't help but give Dad Jiang a blank look.

The thing she regretted most in her life was that when she was a child, there was a night school in her village, but she did not attend the class seriously. Now she can only be blind. In addition to recognizing her own name and understanding the Arabic numbers 12345, she has to rely on Jiang Dad for everything in the city. Without Jiang Dad, she can't move a step. She can't even understand what others are saying when she talks, and others can't understand what she is saying. She can't even speak

Mandarin. Jiang Dad doesn't speak Mandarin either, but he is confident, dares to speak, dares to communicate with others, and blindly believes that he speaks Mandarin and speaks it very well.

This is probably the difference between those who grow up being praised and those who grow up being belittled and suppressed.

One thinks she can do everything well and dares to try anything adventurous; the other thinks she can't do anything well except farm work and factory work, and dares not try anything.

Jiang's mother only dares to act arrogantly at home and in front of familiar people, but when facing people and things in the outside world, she is like a little snail, cautiously sticking out her two little tentacles and shrinking in her shell. She doesn't even dare to speak when she goes to the market to buy vegetables alone, for fear that others won't understand her, and she can't speak.

Father Jiang couldn't find Jiang Bai's contact information from Mother Jiang, so he called Uncle Jiang and asked, "Do you have the contact information of Baizi's class teacher? It's summer vacation now, has Baizi returned?"

Uncle Jiang said, "I haven't even been to Wucheng much, where can I find Baizi's contact information?" He said mockingly, "How can you, as a father, ask me for the phone number of your own son's class teacher?"

He also said, "If you don't come back, you can help me harvest rice. This year, with your family's ten acres of land, we have planted more than twenty acres of land in total. There is too much work to do, and we will have to hire someone to do it. If Baizi is at home, there will be one more worker, and the family will be more relaxed."

Although he and his three sons came back to join the double rush, the construction of the new street still had to continue, and it could not be delayed for too long, so they rushed to work after they came back.

His father-in-law's house was too far away, and he wanted to ask his brothers-in-law to help with the work, but it was impossible. His brothers ran to Shenzhen and could not be relied on. He wanted to ask his brother-in-law to help harvest rice for a few days, but his brother-in-law ran faster than a rabbit.

Although Uncle Jiang followed them and did physical work as a bricklayer and built houses for others, he grew up in the town and did the hardest farm work when he was young, which was to help his mother grow some vegetables and build a greenhouse. The land in the town was limited, and his family's vegetable field in the town was less than two acres. How could he do farm work?

The only person they could count on was Jiang Bai, who was down-to-earth and hardworking and went home during the summer vacation.

Unfortunately, he waited and waited, but Jiang Bai didn't come back, and he didn't know where to find Jiang Bai. There was a lot of work in the fields and they had to finish it quickly. They didn't have time to look for him. Even Aunt Jiang, who did less farm work during the double harvest period in previous years, joined the harvest this year. Grandma Jiang cooked the meals at home.

With Grandma Jiang’s cooking skills, how can you eat the food? When she was young, Grandpa Jiang cooked for the family. Later, he married a daughter-in-law and asked her to cook. The food she cooked can really be described in two words: cooked and edible.

Uncle Jiang couldn’t stand it after eating for two days. Every time it was time to cook, he would ask Aunt Jiang to go back. Aunt Jiang felt sorry for their hard work and asked them: "Can you do it by yourselves? How about I cut for another hour?"

Aunt Jiang used to be plump and white, but she got a lot of tan from the sun these days. Uncle Jiang saw her and said, "You go back. It’s so hot. Junzi and I can do it." , you will have trouble if you get heat stroke. "

Aunt Jiang is good at growing vegetables, flowers and fruit trees, but she is really tired of doing farm work like this. She wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and said, "Okay, I will go back and cook for you."

Last year, Dad Jiang made a lot of money by selling crayfish. This year, Dad Jiang is not at home, and some people also imitated Dad Jiang to sell crayfish, but unfortunately they were reluctant to put in the ingredients, so the crayfish was not delicious.

Aunt Jiang also picked up a straw hat of crayfish from the ditch and brought it home. She washed them and made spicy crayfish for Uncle Jiang and his family. After all, it was meat.

Although Grandma Jiang couldn't cook, she knew how to clean the house. She went to the butcher's house in the neighboring village early in the morning and bought a pound of fat pork and two pieces of old tofu.

Cooking probably requires some talent. Aunt Jiang only listened to Jiang Xiao's instructions and didn't even see it, but she could cook spicy lobsters deliciously. She cut ordinary fat pork into thick slices, fried the fat, added tofu, cabbage, vermicelli, and long beans, and stewed it deliciously.

Uncle Jiang and his friends worked all morning and came back. When they ate the food cooked by Aunt Jiang, they felt alive again. They took a nap at noon and went to harvest in the afternoon.

This year, there was a lot of rain. They were afraid that if they didn't harvest the rice quickly, a heavy rain would come and the rice would fall to the mud and sprout.

Jiang's father couldn't find Jiang Song, nor could he ask Jiang Bai, so he had to ask Uncle Jiang if Jiang Song had called home.

Uncle Jiang was exhausted every day, but he still had to come to answer his phone. He said impatiently, "I work in town all day. How can I know if he called back? Even if he called back, would I be able to answer it? Didn't you go to Shenzhen to look for him? Haven't you found him yet?"

As he said this, he couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Song really didn't think of calling his hometown. He was now fighting and killing every day. He was like a fish in water in Shenzhen. His life was more exciting than the movie "Young and Dangerous". With his neat skills that he had learned from childhood, he not only helped his brother's uncle to grab the project and make money, but also saved the beauty and met the first love of his life, a girlfriend.

His girlfriend was the same age as him. She was a kayaker. She was 1.82 meters tall. Her father was a Hong Kong businessman who came to Shenzhen to invest. Whether it was her figure, appearance, or family background, she was very superior. If it weren't for the hero saving the beauty, she would have been someone he would never have come into contact with in his life.

Because of his girlfriend, Jiang Song took a project on his own and took a group of people to work alone. He was full of vigor and ambition.

He still has some charm. He is the first to fight, generous in sharing money, and loyal. He is willing to lend money to anyone who comes to borrow money. People who used to work for his brother's uncle are willing to follow him. He feels guilty towards his brother's uncle for this. However, his brother's uncle doesn't mind at all. He still treats him like a brother and often comes to him to drink and eat together. They make money together.

But his girlfriend doesn't like his brothers. She thinks they are all low-level hooligans. She often advises him not to hang out with them: "You'd better go back to school and get into college, so that I can take you back to see my father~"

How can her father accept him now that he is like this? How can she bring him to her father and bring him to her circle of friends?

But after a year of drinking and eating meat, how could he be willing to go back to school and study hard like being in prison every day?

But he has a good temper. When he disagrees with his girlfriend, he never loses his temper. Instead, he always coaxes his girlfriend with a good temper and speaks sweet words.

Maybe it's too easy for him to make money. He doesn't care about money. Whether it's for himself, his brothers, or his girlfriend, he spends money very generously. It can really be said that if he earns 100 yuan, he spends 99 yuan on his girlfriend without blinking an eye.

Because of her height, his girlfriend has never had a boyfriend. Jiang Song is her first boyfriend. It is said that boys who are 23cm tall will grow up quickly. Jiang Song is just like that. His net height has grown to 1.9 meters. He loves sports. He is really a model of being thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.

His girlfriend likes tall boys. She is young and dreamy. After being rescued by Jiang Song from two gangsters, she felt that Jiang Song was just like the male protagonist in the movie, who fell from the sky. She fell in love with him at first sight.

He was tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, a sunny personality, and a look that was somewhat similar to a popular male star at the time. Although he came from a low-income rural family, he was not timid at all. He valued friendship and was sweet-mouthed, willing to coax her in various ways.

She really liked Jiang Song and loved him very much.

Even though her father was not happy for her to find such a boyfriend, she was still willing to chase him, follow him, and was very happy to be with him.

She also knew that he couldn't go on like this, and she didn't want him to continue fooling around with those people. She kept persuading him and trying to pull him into her world, but he said all kinds of sweet words to coax her and just wouldn't change. She loved and was angry with him, but she couldn't bear to give up on him. She wanted to change him, to make him study hard for her, or do something serious. It wasn't that

Jiang Song didn't want to call his hometown. The telephone in the brigade had only been installed for more than a year. When he was in the third year of high school, his mother took care of him. Later, when he graduated and went to the provincial capital with his classmates, it was Jiang's father who contacted him and looked for him everywhere.

He was used to being chased by others and was used to being self-centered. When he made money, he would rather spend it lavishly with his drinking buddies. He never thought about whether his parents were having a hard time at home, whether he should send some money back to repair the dilapidated house or build a new one, and whether his brothers and sisters had money to pay for their tuition.

It was the same in his previous life and in this life.

Only when he failed again and again, was deserted by the people around him, became destitute, had nowhere to go, and needed help, did he think of his parents and brothers and sisters in his hometown.

Oh, he has never been poor, because he always has his father and mother to cover his ass. He used all the money he earned in his life to borrow money from his brothers, sisters and relatives. He could not imagine how difficult it would be for his parents to face the debt collection from relatives with so much debt. He still lived lavishly and lived a life of luxury.

Jiang Song's world and Jiang Bai and Jiang Liu's world are like two worlds that do not intersect.

Jiang Bai is still selling clothes in Wucheng diligently and happily, earning a few yuan for each piece of clothing, while waiting for the teacher in Shanghai to call and inform him that he can check the scores before checking them.

Jiang Wu's final exam results are out and posted on the bulletin board, but unfortunately most of the students in the school have gone home, so everyone will have to wait until the next semester starts before they can see them.

Jiang Wu is still the top student in her grade, so it is basically certain that she will get the first-class scholarship for the senior year this year. Zhang Wenxue and Cheng Yufeng both got second-class scholarships, but the money will not be distributed now, but will be distributed in front of all the freshmen after the next semester starts and the freshman training is over, in order to motivate the freshmen.

This is how they were motivated when school started last year.

Everyone else in the school went back, but Zhang Wenxue and his classmates continued to attend classes. Teacher Ji saw that they were finally ready to participate in the competition after the dust settled on their final exam results, so he encouraged them with a smile, saying, "Although there are no scholarships for our county exams, as long as you pass the preliminaries and enter the city competition, you will still get scholarships, even if you don't get a rank. Don't you want such a good thing? If you can get good grades in the city, you will get scholarships on your own, and as long as you get out of the city and enter the provincial competition, you will also get scholarships." . "

He said with a smile: "Don't think that our Wucheng is just a small city. This scholarship is much more than when we first participated in the competition. Our provincial capital does not have as many scholarships as your Wucheng. Principal Sun has really spent a lot of money for the competition results of our No. 1 Middle School!"

After hearing what he said, everyone cheered up and put more time and energy into the competition. Just as Teacher Ji said, if they can get a few hundred yuan in the two-month summer vacation, it will be a great relief to the financial pressure of their families.

In late June, Jiang Bai's college entrance examination results finally came out, and he scored 567 points.

Last year, the admission score for science majors at East China University of Science and Technology was 518. If he had listened to his sister and applied to East China University of Science and Technology with this score, he would have been able to get in. But he does not regret it. For him, as long as he can go to university, it is already a great gift. It is a good life that he could not even dare to imagine in the past.

The moment he learned about his grades, he could not help but grinning and reported the good news to Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang's eyes turned red at that time. He cried with joy and wiped his tears with a smile, saying over and over: "Good! Good! My family has another college student. With Guoan and Guoliang, my family has three college students. I will go back and burn incense and tell your great-grandfather. You will have no idea how happy he is."

Jiang Guoan was actually a college graduate, but the value of colleges in his era was completely different from that of colleges in later generations. College graduates were guaranteed jobs and stable jobs.

Tong Jingang's score was also released, and it was not much different from what he had estimated, 488 points.

The admission score for the sports major of the school he applied for this year was exactly 487 points, and he narrowly passed with a difference of one point.

As for Jiang Xi, after such a long period of small class teaching, he finally welcomed the preliminary round of the Wucheng competition. There

were students from Wuzhong, No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, and even the high schools in the town below, who went directly to Wuzhong to take the exam.
