"After three years of junior high school, it's high school, which also lasts three years."
"If you get good grades, you can apply to university, like the schools we have now. These universities have different majors," the other party paused and explained, "The major means the direction of study, such as agriculture, astronautics, economics, etc."
"If you are interested, you can learn more about it later."
"Anyway, after finishing college, you can choose to continue to study for a master's degree, or you can choose to graduate if you're a doctoral student."
Aunt Qian listened with great interest. This was something they had never dared to imagine.
"Then how many people are there here?"
The other party smiled and said, "A school may have around 10,000 or 20,000 people. It depends on the specific scale. There may be more or less."
Aunt Qian and the others were shocked by the figures of ten to twenty thousand.
I remember that before they went into the mountains, the population in their county was probably only tens of thousands.
"So many? How many people are there here?" Hunter Zhou asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
The other party was full of pride: "It is still growing. It should be around 1.4 billion now."
"What? What do you mean?"
The other party reacted and quickly explained: "1.4 billion means 1400 million."
Hunter Zhou hurriedly counted on his fingers, bent his fingers one by one, and finally even used his toes, but he still couldn't understand how much these 140 million meant.
"The development here is really great. Back then, the population was probably less than 10 million," said An Jingzhi.
After he said this, Zhou Liehu and the others finally understood how big the gap was between the 1.4 billion and the population number they knew.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"With so many people here, are you full?" Aunt Qian asked sincerely.
There were six children in the family at that time, and four of them starved to death. If the last two children had not eaten all that messy food, they would not have starved to death, and they would probably have died too.
The staff explained to them as they walked and arrived at the cafeteria entrance. It was not yet noon, but there were still groups of students coming here to eat.
"This is where you will work." After discussion, the people above decided to arrange them to work in the university cafeteria. They didn't need any cultural knowledge, but it would allow them to better understand this era.
The most important thing is not to make them feel like they are being watched.
Of course, the necessary personnel still need to be arranged.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they smelled an overwhelming fragrance. They had already eaten their fill at the police station, but now the smell of the food made them feel hungry again.
"Auntie Qian," the staff member said, laughing angrily, "just now you asked if we can have enough to eat." He smiled even more proudly, "Of course we can! The food we grow in our country is not only enough to feed ourselves, but we can also sell it to other countries."
"We have advanced farming tools to speed up planting, high-quality fertilizers to increase grain production, and the best agricultural scientists to continuously cultivate the best rice seeds."
"This is where the school students are fed. This is also where you'll be working. If nothing else, you'll get plenty of food."
Aunt Qian and the others didn't quite understand what the staff member said, but judging from the other party's expression, they probably understood.
There is no shortage of food and drink here, and there is even some left over to sell to others.
Seeing the huge bowls of food in the back, Aunt Qian couldn't think of anything else at once. She suppressed the urge to swallow her saliva and said, "We work here, and we can eat these?"
He was referring to the freshly cooked dishes that were colorful, fragrant and delicious, including both meat and vegetables.
The other party nodded and smiled: "Of course, food and accommodation are provided, and the monthly salary is 5,000 yuan plus five insurances and one fund. There are also eight days of rest a month, but you need to adjust your rest days, so the rest days don't have to be on the same day every month."
When Niu Dazhu heard that food and accommodation were provided, he couldn't help but nod his head!
They don't understand what 5,000 yuan for five insurances and one fund means, but they have never heard of such a good thing as eight days of rest in a month.
The village chief said that when he was young, he worked in that county and could only go home one day a month! He had to please the shopkeeper, otherwise he wouldn't even get that day. He had never heard of anyone getting eight days off a month...
"The five social insurances and one housing fund mean..." The staff knew some inside information and briefly explained the meaning of the five social insurances and one housing fund to them.
They don't really care about this, since they may not stay here forever anyway.
But this pension insurance is really a good thing.
Everyone was a little envious after hearing this.
The other party also introduced their daily working hours, rest places and some things to pay attention to.
After An Jingzhi understood the situation clearly, he told the other party that they had to go back to the mountain first.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed: "Of course, you can. The work date will start from the day you come back."
"Do you need any help? It'll take some time to walk back to Qiaoyun Mountain. I can help you find a car."
An Jingzhi shook his head. Although the villagers now had a better impression of them, their vigilance was definitely not reduced at all.
"No, thank you. We can walk back by ourselves. People in the countryside can walk more than ten kilometers every day."
The other party said with some regret: "Okay, by the way," he took something out of his pocket: "This is called a mobile phone, it can contact people thousands of miles away."
He showed An Jingzhi how to use the cell phone, fearing they wouldn't understand. The cell phone he was holding was a very common keypad phone.
They also set up one-touch dialing, treating them as elderly people who cannot keep up with the times.
"If you encounter any difficulties, you can call this number."
An Jingzhi thanked him and accepted the old phone.
I have to say that these people are very thoughtful. Along the way, I took them to introduce them to the cyclists, pedestrians and tall buildings on the street.
Now he personally brought them to the cafeteria where they work and asked the chefs to demonstrate to them what they usually do.
Seeing that they were unwilling to accept escort, he even left a contact number.
After leaving the university cafeteria, everyone was still a little dazed.
They walked along the main road, taking one step deep and one step shallow, towards Qiaoyun Mountain, which they called Wukai Mountain.
"This thing? Can it talk to people thousands of miles away?" Zhou the Hunter glanced at the old phone in An Jingzhi's hand from time to time.
"Why does this sound like a treasure from the gods?" Niu Dazhu said.
"How does everything here look like a fairy treasure? It's exactly like what's described in the storybook."
"Haven't we only been out for about a hundred years? How come things have changed so much in those hundred years?"
If An Jingzhi had not confirmed that there was no eavesdropping device installed on the phone, their conversation would probably have exposed everything.
