After the factory celebration, Xu Zhenming returned home and a tall, thin, pimple-faced teenager greeted him.
The young man smiled shyly and shouted: "Big brother, it's almost lunch, my grandmother is asking me to call you home to eat!"
His face is very similar to Li Xianghe, it is Xu Zhenming's younger brother Xu Zhenguang.
Today is Saturday, and it is the end of 1994.Xu Zhenguang took leave and returned to his home in Honghe Township from Taiping No. 1 Middle School.He was in the second year of high school in Taiping County No. 1 Middle School, and his grades were very good, and he was among the best in the school.
"Photon! Although the current study task is heavy, you should also pay attention to exercise!" Looking at his younger brother's bean sprout-like figure, Xu Zhenming patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
Xu Zhenguang is also very tall, already over 1.8 meters.He is different from Xu Zhenming. He likes to read and study quietly, but does not like playing basketball or sports.
"Big brother! I heard that my father also bought my registered permanent residence in the city, so I will be a city citizen from now on?" Xu Zhenguang scratched his head shyly, and asked Xu Zhenming a little excitedly.
He is very confident of his grades and believes that he will definitely be admitted to university in the summer one year from now, and change his rural household registration to urban household registration.Even so, he was very happy that he suddenly became a city man.The sudden change in the living conditions at home made him admire his elder brother Xu Zhenming in his heart!
In today's era, urban household registration is still very valuable, and it takes more than 3,000 yuan to complete various procedures.Suddenly becoming a city man, Xu Zhenguang felt radiant on his face like everyone else.
"City people and country people are the same. As the economy develops, they have to go to work!"
Xu Zhenming poured cold water on his younger brother with a serious expression.
He warned his younger brother: Don't expect to enter the enterprise work by recruiting workers or taking technical school exams after having a city residence registration.In the future, the iron rice bowl will be broken, and most of the young people with registered permanent residence will have to work to make ends meet.Employment is getting harder and harder, and competition will grow.Afterwards, Ph.D. employment is under pressure!
Xu Zhenguang was still young and could not understand Xu Zhenming's innermost words.He is very confident in his grades. Like most of the teenagers with good grades, he confidently said: "Brother, I am going to study abroad in the future! To find a job, I am also preparing to work in a mold country!"
The young people of this age are all superstitious about the mold country, thinking that it is heaven!
Xu Zhenming wanted to reverse his younger brother's values, and kept talking to him at the lunch table, but failed to convince his younger brother to change his mind.At this time, Xu Youkui, the head of the family, took a few bites of food and looked at Xu Zhenming and said, "Naruko! Can you find someone to transfer Photon to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School for high school?"
Nan'an No. 1 Middle School is a provincial key high school, with the best teaching quality in the city.Each grade has an experimental class, which brings together a large number of academic masters, and almost everyone can be admitted to a key university.
It is difficult to transfer to such a school unless you spend money!
"Daddy, Mom! I went to Taiping No. 1 Middle School very well, and I don't want to go to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School!" At this time, Xu Zhenguang objected.
He has a relatively strong self-esteem, and after arguing with his elder brother, he is suffocated in his heart and he does not want to come to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School.In addition, he has confidence in his grades and believes that he can definitely be admitted to a prestigious university in China, so why bother with the reputation of being a related household and spend money to go to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School.
In his previous life, Xu Zhenguang made some mistakes in his performance in the college entrance examination, and finally got admitted to the Huaxia University of Science and Technology in Luzhou City.
Looking at his younger brother's appearance that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, Xu Zhenming also opposed the transfer of him to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School, for fear that some changes would delay his younger brother's future.
You have to choose the road yourself, so you won’t regret it if you go on!
Thinking of this, he told his family with a smile on his face: "It might be difficult for Photon to transfer to Nan'an No. 1 Middle School, but other schools are fine!"
"Other schools are not as good as our Taiping No. 1 Middle School, so it's better not to transfer!"
Hearing this, Xu Youkui spoke with disdain.He has always been very proud of his second son being admitted to Taiping No. 1 High School.
"Photon still stayed at Taiping No. 1 Middle School to go to high school! Don't farm, it won't affect your academic performance! At the beginning, Naruko also helped to do farm work at home, and he also passed the secondary school. The conditions for photon to go to school are better than Naruko's time. Conditions are much better, still not satisfied?"
Finally, Li Xianghe settled the matter in one fell swoop.
Xu Zhenguang still stays in Taiping County No. 1 Middle School and can come back once a week.Nowadays, Xu Youkui and his wife are not short of money. They can earn more than 100 yuan a day through the commissary. They are much bolder.
In the evening of the second day, Xu Zhenming arranged for Liu to work overtime to send Li Xiaoya, Xu Zhenlian and himself to the vicinity of Suning High Gear Group in Suning City.And make an appointment with Er Liu, to pick them up early tomorrow morning to return to Nan'an Honghe Township.Tonight, he led his two younger sisters to stay overnight at the guest house of Suning High Gear Group.
Among the three, only Xu Zhenming can go through the accommodation procedures if he has an ID card. It is troublesome to stay in other hotels in Suning City.However, Minister Yang of Suning High Gear Group came forward to say hello and asked Xu Zhenming for two standard rooms. This kind of thing was not difficult.
After completing the accommodation procedures, Xu Zhenming led Li Xiaoya and Xu Zhenlian to the snack shop near the Confucius Temple by taxi.He wants to invite the two younger sisters to taste the specialty snacks of Suning City, so that they will open up their eyes.
"Waiter, is there a small box?" Xu Zhenming asked with a smile as the beautiful long-legged waiter in cheongsam came over.He saw that there were a lot of guests in this specialty teahouse, the hall was full of people, and there was a panic when dining in the hall, so he prepared to ask for a small box.
This Suning specialty snack bar is said to have historical allusions and is a state-owned unit.These beautiful and handsome waiters in cheongsam are full-time employees, carrying iron rice bowls to guarantee income from drought and flood.
After hearing the words, the beautiful long-legged waiter who received Xu Zhenming and others looked up and down Xu Zhenming, and shook his head coldly.She saw that Xu Zhenming and the three were dressed like students and had a Nan'an accent, and her attitude became colder.
The Nan'an people this year are equated with poverty.Nan'an people who travel to Suning like to care about everything and are very stingy.
Xu Zhenming is now wearing a down jacket and a one-shoulder sports bag on his shoulders.This dress is no different from university students in Suning City.According to the costumes of Xu Zhenming and others, it must be a college student in Nan'an who brought two relatives from his hometown to this specialty teahouse to taste Suning snacks.
The waiter has sharp eyes and is well-informed. With a glance, he can instantly determine the identity and status of the guests.She was very confident in her eyes, and said in her heart: "If you have no money, you can pretend to be a big boss? Want a small box! Can you afford the box fee?"
Thinking of this, she pointed to a position in the lobby that had just been vacated and said, "You only have three people. Wouldn’t it be better to sit in that position? Is there a small box? There is a one-hundred yuan box fee, or the minimum consumption is four. One hundred and eighty yuan!"
The implication: Can you afford it?
A meal of 480 yuan was considered high consumption in the era when the average salary was only more than 300 yuan. Few people could afford it.
"Tingling bell..." At this time, Xu Zhenming was carrying a one-shoulder sports bag on his shoulders, and the ringing of the phone came out.
Xu Zhenming unhurriedly unzipped the one-shoulder sports bag. While taking out his big brother, he said to the beautiful long-legged waiter: "Waiter, please arrange a small box for us. You don't need to care about other things!"
Immediately, he connected Minister Yang's phone call: "Hello... Minister Yang! Um... we have already stayed! Thank you for your help! We are eating at the Confucius Temple, are you coming? Oh, you Also entertaining relatives for dinner..."
When the beautiful long-legged waiter saw that Xu Zhenming had a big brother, he instantly opened up a pair of nice big eyes.She did not expect that the tall and handsome college student in front of her could actually be able to use her eldest brother, and she thought to herself: "I missed you today!"
Immediately, her attitude changed suddenly. After busy with a smile on her face, she sent Xu Zhenming and others to the small box upstairs.
