Chapter 248
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already 1981, and Xu Di was about to graduate.
In recent years, Zhang Chaoyang has been promoted, but he is still very busy at work.
Fortunately, he spends most of his time in Beijing and can come back once or twice a month.
Grandma Qian is in good health and her children are grown up, so she doesn’t need to spend too much time looking after them.
Aunt Wu has been working all the time, and her salary has increased. She also bought two houses in Beijing for her retirement.
Xu's grandparents are also very nice. Xu Qiang opened a small store for them in the team.
Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu and Second Aunt Xu had things to do and were in high spirits.
When Xu Qiang is not busy, he buys the goods and sends them back himself. When he is busy, Uncle Xu goes to the city to pick up the goods himself and brings them back in his car.
In the 1970s and 1980s, a lot of cargo could be loaded on small passenger cars.
Xu Qiang and his uncle Xu figured out the purchasing channels, and everything else became much easier.
As for Mr. and Mrs. Xu, there is no change.
Xu's mother has retired and is at home taking care of Xu Mei's two children. The three children of Xu's eldest brother mostly eat and drink at their grandparents' house.
You Qianping lives with his grandmother because his younger sisters have grown up and can no longer live with their parents.
Even so, Mrs. Xu was still not very satisfied. She felt that Xu Mei, a daughter who married out, had taken too many advantages from her natal family.
Everyone else was living a relatively smooth life, except Feng Liping. Since Zhang's mother had retired, she had been visiting her younger son more often, and conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had increased.
If I count carefully, there haven't been many major events in the past two years. They were all just some trivial family matters that are inevitable in life.
The weather in Beijing in early June was not too hot. It was not as high as it would be decades later due to the greenhouse effect.
After breakfast in the morning, Xu Di was in a hurry to go to school.
Nuannuan and the other two go to the same school. Together with the children from the He family next door, there are five or six children in total, going to and from school together, so the adults don’t have to worry.
When I arrived at the classroom, Liu Yun was already there.
"Xu Di, you applied to stay in school. How is it going? Is there any hope?"
"I don't know yet. If we look at the results and overall ratings, I should be hopeful."
Xu Di has really studied hard in the past few years, ranking high in overall grades. He also taught himself English and obtained relevant certificates.
"That's right. You've always had good grades and you taught yourself foreign languages. Most importantly, you have a Beijing hukou."
Liu Yun wants to go to a newspaper and there is already some progress to make.
The first batch of graduates after the resumption of the college entrance examination will not end up in bad places.
However, at that time, job assignment was guaranteed, and the principle of returning to where you came from was adhered to, so there was no phenomenon of most talents being concentrated in big cities.
"What about Weiwei? Where do you want to go? Do you want to stay in school as well?"
"I didn't apply to stay in school. My personality is not suitable for being a teacher. Standing on the podium and giving lectures is a bit of a burden for me.
I want to go to a publishing house where there won't be much talking. ”
After so many years, Weiwei's personality is still the same, she doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to stand out.
Only when she was with Yuanyuan and the others would she completely let down her guard and chatter non-stop.
Because of this, in the past few years, Aunt Zhang's family has become very close to Xu Di and her family.
Graduation is coming soon, and many people want to stay. After all, Beijing is the political center of the country and one of the largest cities.
Especially those students who came from remote areas, most of them wanted to stay.
So, at this time, everyone is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing off their magical powers.
The female classmate wanted to stay by getting married. The male classmates also turned their attention to the female classmates whose families were well-off.
During this period, stories of one kind or another happened in every college. No one can tell what is true and what is false.
Xu Di has a good relationship with his classmates. Over the past few years, everyone has gotten to know each other.
After graduation, we will go our separate ways, and it will not be easy to meet again.
The class monitor used class funds to buy dozens of notebooks, one for each student, and asked everyone to write their mailing addresses on them.
Xu Di felt that this was a bit like the later yearbook, but it was too simple.
Although I haven’t been assigned yet, I don’t know where I’m going.
However, I have my home address, so I wrote it down so I can keep in touch through home in the future.
They all studied Chinese and were quite emotional. Some of them not only left their mailing addresses but also parting words. In the end, many of them cried.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is July.
The classmates in the class have been assigned their places, and Xu Di got to stay in school as he wished.
Holding the graduation assignment certificate, Xu Di breathed a sigh of relief. She plans to work for a few years first and then take the postgraduate entrance examination.
To be a teacher at a university, a bachelor's degree is not enough. This is only the early 1980s. By the 1990s, academic qualifications will become more and more important.
Liu Yun was assigned to a newspaper as he wished and became an editor. Bai Weiwei also went to the newspaper and became the editor of the children's section.
Of course, she and Liu Yun are not in the same unit.
Most of the other students were also assigned back to units in their registered places of residence.
Finally, we took a group photo and the class monitor organized a dinner.
"Classmates, we will go our separate ways tomorrow, and it will not be easy to meet again.
I suggested that after we report to the unit, we write a letter to tell Xu Di our specific address. She stayed in school and became our liaison officer in Beijing.
In the future, if we have the chance to return to our alma mater, let’s all come and meet Xu Di.
We have the opportunity to study in the same classroom for so many years, so let’s not lose contact.
As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths. We are not only friends, but also close classmates. Let's keep in touch in the future. ”
"What the squad leader said is right. Let's not lose contact. In the future, when you come to Yun Province, come to see me. I will do my best to be a good host and let you come happily and leave satisfied."
"Yes, me too."
"Me too."
…
Throughout the whole party, everyone had tears in their eyes and had so much to say.
Xu Di felt a different kind of friendship and sense of parting among his classmates.
The party ended very late and Xu Di was sent home by several classmates.
The other students still lived in the dormitory and went back together.
After July, the classmates left one after another, and Xu Di also completed the registration and became a formal teacher at Peking University.
Unexpectedly, she failed to get into university in her previous life and had no chance to experience university life, but in this life, she is about to stand on the university podium and give lectures to college students.
Sometimes I think that this adventure of mine was really a good thing.
The university had not yet completely closed for the summer vacation, so Xu Di started working after reporting for duty.
She also has a place in the Faculty of Letters of Kyoto University.
Fortunately, I graduated from Kyoto University, and the Faculty of Arts is a familiar place to me, so everything is familiar to me.
Now, as summer vacation is approaching, Xu Di actually doesn’t have much to do. Most of the time, he helps the professors.
Also, borrow lesson plans from experienced professors to prepare for the next semester.
