At the end of June, when Xia Xiaolan finished her last exam and walked out of the classroom, her freshman life was considered to be over.
The exam arrangements for the Department of Civil Engineering are different from those for the Department of Architecture. Yang Yonghong finished the exam yesterday, and now he has packed his luggage and is waiting to buy a bus ticket to go back to his hometown in northern Hebei Province.
Yang Yonghong also joked with Xia Xiaolan, "Are you going to see Instructor Zhou? I remember you said that he was studying at the Army Academy. If you want to go with me, I will wait for you."
I usually can't meet each other, but I can't see you after the summer vacation after the exam?
Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "I won't go there for now, when I go to Beibei Province, I will definitely visit your boss's house!"
Yang Yonghong didn't think much about it, she had her own arrangements, so she just asked casually.
"Dormitory 307, Yang Yonghong, has your letter!"
Just as I was talking, someone from the girl's building went to the reception room to get the letter, and casually took Yang Yonghong's letter back: "It fell between the desks, it must have been half a month."
It was a letter from Yang Yonghong's family. Seeing that the term was over and the reception room was being cleaned, the letter was cleared out from the cracks in the table.
Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to disturb her, "Hurry up and see if there is something at home, don't delay."
Yang Yonghong's family seldom writes to her, and stamps also cost money. Knowing that there will be a holiday at the end of the term, it is even more impossible to waste this money.
Besides, her parents didn't know a few words, and Yang Yonghong's younger brother and sister wrote everything on behalf of her.
Yang Yonghong was also anxious, maybe something happened at home, if he didn't see the letter and was delayed, wouldn't it be a lifetime of regret? Opening the letter in a hurry, Yang Yonghong's face showed joy, but after a while, he felt sad again.
"Boss, what's going on, what happened at home?"
Yang Yonghong sighed, "My brother is 20 years old this year, and the family is going to make an engagement for him. The woman is a middle school teacher in the town. I met her once during Chinese New Year. She looked okay, and I don't think my family is poor."
Yang Yonghong repeated studies for three years before being admitted to Huaqing University. At the beginning of school, everyone compared her age. She is 23 years old this year, three years older than her brother.
A 20-year-old young man should say kiss in the countryside.
Not all men are bigger and more popular. In the city, you can still say that you should work hard on your career first. In the countryside, there is nothing to fight for. There can only be one reason why older men do not get married: the poor have no money to marry a wife!
It was a happy event, but Yang Yonghong sighed, and Xia Xiaolan guessed that it was financial pressure.
"Boss, is it because the money is not in your hand?"
Yang Yonghong scratched his head:
"That's right! The woman's family wants four big pieces, and 200 yuan for her brother's wedding."
Regardless of the money, the four major items are not too much. In the 1970s, no rural family could afford these things. Now in 1985, the distribution of land to households has made life easier for some rural families. They raise chickens by themselves. There is no limit on the number of pigs, and some families have gradually saved their fortunes.
But Yang Yonghong's family is different, her family is very poor.
In some parts of the city, the new four major items have emerged: black and white TV sets, refrigerators, quartz watches, and radio cassette players.
To buy all these things, at least 3,000 yuan.
Xia Xiaolan reckoned that Yang Yonghong's future siblings' family would want the eldest four.
Watches, sewing machines, bicycles and radios.
The sum of these things is not expensive, it will not exceed 800 yuan. Of course, Xia Xiaolan didn't think it was expensive, and Yang Yonghong's family couldn't afford the money, what could he do.
"Boss, how much gap is there¡ª"
Yang Yonghong interrupted Xia Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, I don't want to borrow money from you, but I want to ask you, is the store still hiring people to sell clothes?"
It is said that college students are the proud sons of heaven, and those who can be admitted to Huaqing University are the envy of all directions. Yang Yonghong knew that if she hadn't done well in the exam, the woman who was a teacher in the town would not have looked down on her younger brother who graduated from high school and worked as a farmer at home. Yang Yonghong's younger brother also passed the junior college course last year, so he could continue to study, but Yang's family is short of labor.
Yang Yonghong never mentioned these things in the dormitory. Her family was poor, but Yang Yonghong had self-esteem and was unwilling to work hard. Knowing that Xia Xiaolan wanted to borrow money, Yang Yonghong quickly refused.
There is no need to borrow money. If Xiaolan's clothing store still recruits people, Yang Yonghong wants to earn some wages by herself.
Xia Xiaolan immediately reacted:
"Are you going to stay in the capital for the summer vacation?"
Yang Yonghong nodded heavily, "I will help with some work when I get back, the most important thing now is to help my elder brother get enough gifts, XiaoDon't be embarrassed, Lan, if your store is not short of people, I will find another way. "
Anyway, she doesn't lack strength, so she stays in the capital to try her luck and see if she can do odd jobs for two months.
The status of a college student is sometimes very valuable, but it seems nothing special in such a situation. Yang Yonghong didn't feel that she had any figure that she couldn't let go of!
Xia Xiaolan pondered for a while.
"Boss, let's forget about the clothing store. If you go to do this, you will earn money, but waste two months of time. I know you can't leave your books even when you are on vacation."
Yang Yonghong was not in a hurry, she knew Xia Xiaolan had more to say.
Sure enough, I heard Xia Xiaolan ask her again:
"How is your brother's health? Is it okay to work?"
Yang Yonghong was at a loss, "I don't lack strength, you can tell by my physique, our family is not short."
Xia Xiaolan knew it in her heart.
Can be admitted to a junior college, there is absolutely no intellectual defect, there is no reason for the farmer's union, brother Yang Yonghong can't learn it, right?
"Send a telegram to your family and ask him if he would like to go to Pengcheng to work. If he does a good job in the summer vacation for two months, he will be able to raise enough money for the four major items. If you are worried, boss, come with me. Go to Pengcheng, I also have work to do for you."
It is really a waste to go to a clothing store to a shopping guide for a Huaqing civil engineering department.
Yang Yonghong learned dumb English, but he was much better than the average person to be admitted to Huaqing.
Yang Yonghong, who studies civil engineering, is particularly strong in mathematicsXia Xiaolan kidnapped Gong Yang to Yuanhui to do interior decoration design. Judging from Xia Xiaolan's thinking of a straight steel girl, those who study fine arts are really fancy but not useful, and have no reputation The painter starved himself to death before, wouldn't it be in vain, so Xia Xiaolan didn't feel guilty at all for abducting Gong Yang to change careers.
Each of them takes what they need, Gong Yang plans to make money, and Xia Xiaolan trains a designer for her uncle.
? When it was Yang Yonghong's turn, Xia Xiaolan didn't dare to delay Yang Yonghong's future. Decoration can be cultivated, and Xia Xiaolan herself doesn't understand what is taught by the Department of Civil Engineering!
But once in a while there is a place for practice, let Yang Yonghong do some part-time jobs, there is no harm in thinking about it, right?
Yang Yonghong trusted Xia Xiaolan very much. Xiaolan said that she would find a job for her brother, so she wouldn't fool people.
Yang Yonghong gave Xia Xiaolan a big hug: "Xiaolan, thank you! I'll send a telegram to my family right now!"
Would you like to go to Pengcheng to work? The family is very poor, and her elder brother has a very sensible personality. It is impossible for him not to be unwilling to get married for himself! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
