Cheng Maixiang sighed secretly in her heart. She couldn't help but think of the words that the self-employed Xiao Yangxun said to Lei Dongbao in the TV series "The Great River" that she had watched in her previous life.
"I just want to make more money. I want to make money while standing. I don't want to kneel forever, bowing and scraping to make more money. I want my mom, my brother, my sister, everyone else, to make money in an upright manner. Is there anything wrong with that? Everyone can live with dignity and work hard for themselves, isn't that right?"
The constraints of the times on people are so deep that even this man who would later become a business tycoon had to look before and after when he decided to start his own business, for fear of making a mistake.
Perhaps it was because he had been in prison in his previous life and had such a bad reputation that no decent factory would hire him, so he was forced to embark on the path of self-employment.
After all, this is just a special phenomenon that only occurs in a special era. In another decade or so, when the individual and private economies play an increasingly important role in the entire national economy, the views on the individual and private economies will undergo a drastic change from the government to the general public.
"Jia Yu, I never thought that self-employed people were inferior. They are just like workers and farmers. They earn money with their own hands. There is nothing shameful about that."
Lin Jiayu's eyes suddenly became moist when he heard his young wife's resounding answer.
That's right, he doesn't have the same great ideas as many people of this era. For the sake of the country and the collective, he does not deny the nobility of those people, but he really just wants to make more money for himself, for his young wife, and for his sister and niece so that they can live a better life.
His young wife is different. Even if the whole world disagrees with him, she still understands his thoughts and supports his decisions!
He felt ashamed of his previous groundless speculations about his young wife. His young wife was so bright and beautiful, but he was so narrow-minded. Their vision was so different!
He no longer hid his plan and revealed it in detail.
"Maizi, actually my idea is to use the tricycle to transport both passengers and goods first, then use my working time to get a driver's license, and when I save enough money, I'll ask someone to buy me a car.
I've noticed that policies have become increasingly lenient over the past two years. Who knows when we'll be able to operate taxis like we do in Guangzhou. When that happens, I'll register my car with a car company and start driving it exclusively as a taxi. I'm sure I'll make a lot of money."
After listening to his heartfelt words, Cheng Maixiang was immediately impressed. No wonder he achieved such great success in the future. In addition to his boldness, daringness and hard-working spirit, accurate vision was also one of the indispensable conditions.
In this era that is about to begin a huge change, various thoughts are surging and colliding with each other. Even many people with great ambitions choose to lie dormant, not to mention the majority of people who just muddle through their days.
She is a person of the future and knows what will happen to the entire society. There is nothing to be proud of. What is rare is that he, a person of the present era, has such a profound understanding of the changes in the current situation. He is truly a talent.
"Your idea is very good. I also believe that society will become more and more open. When opportunities arise, you will find that those who prepare early will really reap the benefits."
However, Cheng Maixiang did not recommend that he resign from the steel plant now, but asked him to wait another half a year until she graduated and they got married before putting it into practice.
She did this with her own plans. In November, she would pass the college entrance examination and be admitted to a university in the provincial capital. She, Lin Jiayu, and Lin Qingwan's family would move to the provincial capital. By then, Lin Jiayu would go back to work full-time as an individual. After all, the provincial capital was bigger, with more opportunities, and the money she could earn would naturally increase.
She didn't dare to say all this, but Lin Jiayu always listened to her. When his wife asked him to wait another half a year, he agreed without hesitation. It was only half a year, he could wait.
Cheng Maixiang's prediction was correct. Two months later, on October 21, the news about the resumption of the college entrance examination released by major national media shocked the entire country.
Just like the cancellation of the college entrance examination was announced without any warning, the news of its resumption was announced without any warning, just like a nuclear bomb was dropped into a calm lake, and the water surface was rolled up with waves nearly a hundred meters high.
The educated youth who had worked hard in the countryside all year round seemed to have seen a bright future, while the students who graduated from high schools in the city and were worried about their future were cheering and rejoicing, as they finally had a way to escape the fate of going to the countryside.
Students all over the country fell into a state of hard work, because in order to take care of the educated youth who went to the countryside, the country deliberately relaxed the registration standards. Students from the third batch were treated equally with the graduating class and could participate in the registration.
But the only thing that made the students dissatisfied was that the time from the announcement of the news to the college entrance examination was very short, only one month. Many educated youth who had given up studying for many years had to pick up their studies again within this month and compete with freshmen for admission places, which inevitably put them at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, in this era, there are not many students who really study seriously. Most people are just trying to get by, and there are not many competitive people.
Since the news of the college entrance examination was released, Linwen High School responded quickly. Within a week, it divided the students into arts and science classes according to the needs of the college entrance examination. There was one arts class and two science classes. Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling were both admitted to the arts class.
It’s five o’clock in the afternoon. Normally, school would have been over by this time on weekdays, but now the school has added evening self-study, so students have to eat dinner in the school cafeteria.
"By the way, my relatives brought me a lot of review materials yesterday. I'll bring them over tomorrow. You can copy some."
