Chapter 170 The Reason Has Changed
Jiang Haiyang was not only envious of the money the computer lab made, but also took advantage of the hour he spent, which cost him twenty yuan, to thoroughly search through all the game files.
He really does have some talent in computers.
With the foundation Jiang Jianni laid for him at home, and the guidance of professional teachers at school, he learned with ease.
Some even started writing their own mini-programs after only two months of learning.
Although it took more than a month of back and forth, the mini-program finally succeeded in its calculation.
He went to the computer room to look at the game programs. Although they were a bit complex and huge, and there were many parts he didn't understand, as the saying goes, once you understand one thing, you understand everything. At least he learned how these games worked.
He didn't care at all what a shocking bomb he had dropped on his sister and brother-in-law's family; he just talked enthusiastically about his discovery and plans.
"Those games aren't that complicated. I'll think about them some more later and ask my teacher for help. Maybe I can make a game myself."
"It doesn't need to be too complicated, as long as it's fun to play."
"We can make money by selling the game later."
"Once I have the money, I'll buy a computer, my own computer."
Jiang Haiyang's eyes lit up when he talked about his computer.
Although he had only been in university for one semester, he had already felt the limitations that immature material conditions imposed on technology.
Therefore, the primary goal is to earn at least 50,000 yuan to buy a computer of my own.
After explaining his recent goals, Jiang Haiyang prepared to go home: "Time is too tight, I don't have much time to waste."
"Sister, I came here to tell you that I really like this major, and I'm doing very well at school, so don't worry."
After saying that, he went back with a proud and arrogant air.
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Lu Xiangyang: "..."
Aunt Liu: "..."
The two nursing babies also joined in the fun, making little noises.
Jiang Haiyang only came to share some good news with his dear sister, but he never expected that this seemingly happy and fulfilling little family would suddenly fall into silence.
After the two children turned one month old, Aunt Liu no longer stayed at the Jiang family's house all day. Instead, she would come over every morning and go back at eight o'clock in the evening, just like before.
After putting the child to sleep that night, Jiang Jianni, who had been lost in thought, suddenly said to Lu Xiangyang, "Xiangyang, let's go to the capital and buy a house."
As if afraid Lu Xiangyang would refuse, she explained at length:
"You've heard from Haiyang that the world outside has changed so much. Our salary is still only one or two hundred, while people in big cities outside are making three or four thousand."
"Not to mention that the teaching staff and related facilities in schools in big cities are much better than those in our prefecture-level city."
"Moreover, I heard that the admission scores for local schools are lower for people with Beijing household registration than for those from other places."
"We don't know how well our two children will do in their studies in the future, but as parents, we should at least do what we can to help them in advance, and then we'll see how things go in the future."
Jiang Jianni used to see those immigrant students, people from populous provinces, who would specifically travel to other places with lower admission scores to buy houses and settle down, just so that their children wouldn't have to struggle too much when taking the college entrance exam, or even fail to get into university at all.
At that time, she utterly despised these behaviors.
The college entrance examination is based on ability, but also on some mysterious factors.
Most college students are admitted based on their actual abilities, but there are also a few students who don't study very well usually, but perform exceptionally well in major exams, scoring tens of points or even hundreds of points higher than usual.
However, some students excel in regular exams but encounter various problems during crucial moments like the college entrance examination.
When Jiang Jiani was in high school, she had a senior who studied for four years before finally getting into university.
It's not that his grades are bad; on the contrary, he has never fallen out of the top five in the whole school.
My luck with the college entrance exam wasn't very good.
In my first year of college entrance exams, I started having a fever after taking two subjects. The fever got so high that I became delirious. Even though I managed to get into the exam hall, I couldn't even see what was written on the test paper. It was no surprise that I failed.
The following year, I didn't have a fever, but I was in a car accident on the eve of the college entrance examination. Everything else was fine, but my right hand, which I use to write, was broken. I couldn't write anymore and could only write with my left hand, which meant I couldn't finish any of the subjects because writing with my left hand was too slow.
The third year was even more frustrating. He thought his luck had turned around after the first three exams, but when it came time for the fourth exam, he discovered that his admission ticket was missing. He couldn't even get into the exam room for the last two exams.
In the fourth year, his whole family was very nervous, fearing that another problem might arise. The senior himself was also extremely nervous. In the end, no other problems occurred, but he developed acute appendicitis due to excessive nervousness. He fainted in the second exam room due to the pain. When he woke up, the appendix had been removed, leaving only the last two exams. Even though he forced himself to go to the exam room despite having just undergone surgery, he only managed to take three exams and was unable to get into his desired school.
In the fifth year, his whole family resigned themselves to their fate, and even the senior himself resigned himself to it, thinking, "Whatever, I'll just give up." As a result, he achieved an outstanding score in the fifth year, ranking fifth in the entire city.
This is probably what they mean by "the flowers you plant with care may not bloom, while the willows you plant unintentionally may thrive."
With such a ready example around her, Jiang Jianni was very dismissive of those immigrant test takers.
After all, if someone is truly destined to go to university, they will definitely pass the exam even in a populous province. If they are not destined, even if they go to Xinjiang and change their ethnic minority status, they still won't pass the exam.
But now that she's a mother herself and has a child, Jiang Jianni finds herself unable to be carefree anymore.
She discovered that she was just an ordinary person after all.
Like all parents, she always tries to provide the best living conditions and learning environment for her child, regardless of the child's aptitude.
She used to want to buy a house so that she could become a landlady and earn money easily one day, without having to work herself to the bone and earn little money.
But now, her reasons for buying a house have changed.
At least for now, her goal in buying a house has become to create the best living conditions and learning environment for her child.
The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and the faster she spoke.
“Annie, that’s Zhao Ailing from my second aunt’s family. Isn’t she in the capital?”
“She bought a house there, saying she liked the houses there and planned to buy more in the future. She also suggested that I buy a house there as well.”
"They say the house prices over there are changing every day, so even if you buy now and sell it in three to five years, you won't lose money; in fact, you'll make a huge profit."
"We don't expect to make money, but we have to think about our children."
“I plan to ask Annie to help me find the best schools over there, preferably those with kindergartens to high schools nearby, and then I’ll buy a house in the neighborhood.”
What do you think?
