Chapter 221 Graduation Season
The younger son Tang Yu came home at the weekend, and his mother told him what Tang Jing meant, "Your sister wants you to study hard and try to get into college. She has to work part-time this summer and won't be back.
Xiaoliu, you have to study hard just for your sister. That thousand yuan is enough for you to go to college. If it's not enough, you can also work part-time like your sister. Your father and I will work hard to make money."
Tang Yu slowly lowered his eyes and nodded obediently, "Mom, I know, I will work hard."
Originally, he planned to give his all to the college entrance examination and work regardless of whether he passed or not. Now that things have taken a turn for the better, he has to work harder so as not to disappoint his parents and sister.
When Mr. and Mrs. Tang saw that their youngest son had listened to them, they all smiled with relief.
A semester passed in the blink of an eye.
The sound of cicadas chirping in the midsummer means that summer vacation is just around the corner.
After finishing the college entrance examination, Tang Yu boarded a train to the capital after filling out his application form. He went all the way to the suburban morning market mentioned in Tang Jing's letter.
It was still past seven in the morning. A simple young man carrying a woven bag was walking among the crowd at the morning market, looking around. According to the information in Tang Jing's letter, he finally found a stall selling clothes and shoes at the morning market.
I also saw Tang Jing, who was smiling brightly and greeting guests warmly in the morning sun.
Tang Jing like that was completely different from the fifth sister in his memory. Tang Yu just stood there and watched in a trance.
Tang Jing realized something and looked up to see Tang Yu standing there. She was overjoyed and waved and called out, "Xiao Yu, you're here! Come here!"
Tang Yu hurried over.
Tang Jing still had things to sell, so she didn't have time to greet him. She took out ten yuan from her bag and stuffed it into his pocket. "Go to the market first and buy some food. Buy whatever you want. Take a walk and have a good rest. When I close the stall, we can go back and talk."
Xu Jiahui next to her immediately said, "Jingjing, talk to your brother first, we can help you watch the stall."
They still each have their own stall, continuing the model of last year, but they sell different things.
Tang Jing smiled and shook her head, "No, no, my brother just arrived, let him go eat something and rest for a while, there will be plenty of time to reminisce when he goes back at noon."
It was hot in the summer, and the morning market closed at 11 o'clock. People started to come out to set up stalls from three or four in the evening, and they closed at around six in the evening.
Tang Yu wanted to refuse, but when he met his sister's distressed look, he immediately did as she said.
There were many snacks in the market that he had never seen before, and he didn't know what to eat. He just observed quietly, bought a few cheaper snacks, and bought a bottle of soda for Tang Jing.
When he returned to the stall, Tang Jing was just seeing off a customer.
The two of them also had some time to talk, "How did you do on the exam this time?"
Tang Yu replied in a gentle voice: "If I perform normally and estimate my scores, I will have no problem going to college. I will also apply to a school in the capital and go with my sister."
Tang Jing grinned, "Not bad! If you can get into college, our family will be famous, and Mom and Dad will be proud of it."
Tang Yu nodded heavily, "Sister, let me help you sell things."
Tang Jing pointed at Xu Kang and Chen Ruiyu across from her and said, "Those two are my roommate's brothers. They didn't plan to set up a stall originally, but they only set up a stall for a few days because they knew you were coming. When the time comes, you can take over their stall and save the money yourself. You don't have to help me make money."
"Sister!" Tang Yu was shocked.
Tang Jing smiled at him lovingly and said, "Go over and say hello to the brothers and sisters, help them sell things, and have a good eye to see how they do business."
Tang Yu listened and went over obediently.
Soon I started chatting with Chen Ruiyu and others.
Tang Jing watched silently, feeling happy.
This summer vacation is destined to be busy and fulfilling. Two months of hard work and sweat have brought a new life to the Tang siblings.
The two of them earned more than 30,000 yuan together.
This amount of money was definitely a huge sum for them. They had no idea how to use it, so they just kept it in the bank.
After school started, Chen Xinyue took the initiative to talk to her roommates about this matter, "Now that you have money, would you consider investing?"
"Investment?" Tang Jing and the other two looked over at the same time.
Chen Xinyue nodded seriously, "My mother said that this year's policy will cancel the job allocation for college students. This means that when we graduate, the government will not arrange jobs for us. We have to rely on ourselves for everything."
"What? Then why did we go through so much trouble to get into college?" Xu Jiahui was very excited.
Chen Xinyue sighed, "There's nothing I can do. I can only say that I'm unlucky. My mom said that this is an inevitable trend. After all, there are only so many state-owned enterprises, and there are many graduates every year. Sooner or later, it will be saturated. It's just that we didn't catch up with the good times.
But don't lose heart. Although there are no jobs assigned, we have more choices. If you are financially well-off, you can continue to take postgraduate entrance exams or even study for a doctorate. In that case, you will have a great chance of staying in a university and working there.
If you don't want to continue studying after graduation, you can take the civil service exam. After all, you are a college student and will not have to worry about employment. You can enter some large companies or start your own business. These are all ways out.
What I mean is that you have money now, you can plan for the future, if you want to stay in the capital, you can buy a house now while the housing prices are not high, these are what my mother said, she is a very far-sighted person, I think you can consider it carefully. "
The three of them looked at each other, still not recovering from the shock of having their work assignments cancelled, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Zhou Miaoqing said with a sad face, "I am the only one in my family, so I must go back. Since there is no job assigned, my parents will most likely force me to take the civil service exam and get a stable job, or work in my parents' company. It is unrealistic to stay in the capital. Even if I want to buy a house, I will go back to my hometown."
"That's fine. Houses in my hometown are not expensive now. You can discuss it with your uncle and aunt when you go back during the winter vacation this year." Chen Xinyue looked confident.
Zhou Miaoqing had to face this problem and start thinking about the feasibility.
Xu Jiahui looked at this and that, and said without hesitation: "I want to go back to Anshi too. You know that people there are very homesick. My home is in the county town, and I guess I will go back to take the civil service exam and settle down in the city."
At this point, she looked at Chen Xinyue enviously, "You are the best. You were born in Rome, waiting for me to go to Rome to find you."
Chen Xinyue laughed, "Okay! I'll wait for you! If you want to buy a house in An City, I can give you some advice."
Xu Jiahui made an "OK" gesture.
Only Tang Jing is left.
Everyone looked at her.
Tang Jing's eyes were still blank. Thinking of the thirty thousand, she pursed her lips subconsciously, "We definitely can't afford a house in the capital with the money we have."
