Volume 1 Chapter 0068 The Door Has Ears
Reviewing, as there are only a few days left before the exam; studying, as he will need Japanese soon; reading, as a book called "The Record of Director Qiao's Taking Office" came out this year, which tells the story of Qiao Guangpu, but he has not read it yet.
Qiao Guangpu can be said to be a microcosm of the reformers of this era. He directly inspired a generation of people to change their own destiny.
By looking at Qiao Guangpu's story, Nan Yi can get a glimpse of the competition and speculate from the side about the competitors who will emerge in the future, those competitors he doesn't even know who they are, let alone where they are.
In every era, every generation will be marked by the mark of the times, and their strengths and weaknesses will have certain commonalities.
This commonality may not be too obvious, but it is enough to provide Nan Yi with one or two analytical data.
In the library, Xu Feiyang and Wu Renpin were sitting next to Nan Yi. When they were in school, except for meal times, the three of them were basically together.
Wu Renpin no longer eats in the cafeteria. He eats the food he brings in the morning at noon. When it is dinner time, Wu Meifeng will bring him the food after picking up the children from school.
Even the breakfast stall has now been basically taken over by Wu Meifeng . His wife earns money while Wu Renpin studies at school with peace of mind, making others envious.
Nan Yi also saw half of love in them, and the remaining half depends on whether Wu Renpin can still maintain his original intention towards Wu Meifeng after his identity has undergone a subversive change.
"Tired of watching, basketball court?"
Xu Feiyang suddenly raised his head from the pile of books and spoke to the other two.
"Walk."
All three of them are heavy smokers, and being able to sit here for more than two hours without smoking is already the limit.
On the side of the basketball court, three people had three signs and each drew his own.
"Xiaofang said that she would bring her children here after the Chinese New Year. The brigade will calculate the work points soon, and she needs to find out how much she owes."
"Well, is two hundred enough?"
"Why, you want to pay off her debt?"
"Hey, don't give me such empty words next time. You're telling me this just to make me pay."
Nan Yi laughed and scolded.
"Hey, hey, it's not enough. We need to add some."
"How much is the train ticket from your place to here?"
"Six dollars and a half."
"Thirteen?"
"Yes, I forgot. I'm half price."
"I'll give you three hundred. That should be enough for Xu Xiaofang to pay off the debt owed to the brigade and get herself to the capital, right?"
"That's enough. That's enough."
"give you tomorrow."
Nan Yi agreed with his mouth, but he was muttering in his heart.
I hope that the little girl I have never met is worth spending so much money on. Three hundred yuan is enough to buy three large tiled houses in any corner, and decorate the houses.
Wu Renpin who was standing by had mixed feelings. Nan Yi was a really kind person. He would always help anyone who was in trouble. What's even better was that he didn't just give him the fish, but taught him how to fish.
If Nan Yi hadn't brought him along, he really wouldn't have been able to bring himself to set up a stall to sell breakfast.
Today's policies allow individual businesses to operate, but there are not many people setting up stalls on the streets. This has a lot to do with face.
In the eyes of many people, being a self-employed person is still a shameful and embarrassing business.
If there is someone in a family who is setting up a street stall, the other family members will be embarrassed in front of the neighbors.
It is not just one or two cases where individuals fall out with their families because of work. This is a very common phenomenon nowadays.
At present, the status of self-employed individuals is only slightly better than that of prisoners in labor camps.
A very narrow line.
If someone gets himself in jail because he is brave enough to do something righteous or to help a friend, and he hits too hard, he will most likely get a thumbs up from others and be praised for being righteous.
But if you are a self-employed person, people will just spit on you and say "shame on you"!
It is precisely because of this that those who are now working as individuals in the capital are basically those who are struggling to make a living. They can't make ends meet, and there is no place for them to receive money.
They were whipped by fate and dragged along this thorny road, but who could have foreseen that this was actually a golden road?
This also allows those who have been mediocre to have a chance to enjoy a few years of glory.
The first group of people who set up stalls were like pigs standing on the wind, with the wind chasing them, begging and coaxing them to put money into their pockets.
"Nan Yi, do you have any trouble with this much money? If it's not enough, I can help you with some."
Wu Renpin thought that Nan Yi was so righteous, so he had to express his gratitude, although he was not very happy about it in his heart. After all, his family of three had just had a full meal not long ago.
"No need. Three hundred yuan is still easy for me to take out. You have a family to support, so you'd better be tight with your money. When Xiaowei grows up a little bit, there will be many places to spend money."
Now that he has decided to take action, he has to make the relationship solid. Nan Yi doesn't want others to interfere and make the situation neither good nor bad.
"After the exam, Nan Yi, take me to have a good meal." Xu Feiyang, the shameless man, suddenly said.
"Why?"
"You're pretty sure to win the scholarship, shouldn't you have a nice meal to celebrate?"
"Get lost, stop trying to get my hands on me. I'm telling you, when Xu Xiaofang comes over, you'll have to eat your own food and stop taking advantage of me."
"Hey, do I need to take advantage of you? With the twenty-odd dollars a month in scholarship, I can eat meat to my heart's content. If I follow you and only eat meat once a week, my mouth will be dry as hell."
"You bastard, I let you eat for free, but you ended up spoiling your mouth."
"Hahaha, after two years of eating soup and pancakes, I can be considered an liberated serf."
"Bastard bones!"
Looking at Xu Feiyang who was dancing with joy, Nan Yi spat.
After smoking, the three of them returned to the library to continue reading. As the exam was approaching, the students in the class became more scattered. Some stayed in the study room, some in the dormitory, and some stayed in the library like Nan Yi and the others.
Those who are reviewing English even though they are far apart can get together and read aloud without restraint.
In a few years, it will be rare to see the scene of everyone studying late into the night.
It doesn’t seem right. Where is Zhou Maode?
This kid was also reviewing in the library yesterday. Did he change his location today?
Nan Yi looked up and left and right to give his eyes a rest, and suddenly saw that Zhou Maode was not there. Nan Yi, a gentleman, had always been concerned about him.
After thinking about various possibilities, Nan Yi finally locked on the one he hoped would happen the most. He stood up, made an excuse to Wu Renpin and the others that he was going to take a shit, left the library, and headed straight for the dormitory.
Lai Biao went abroad, Nan Yi lived in an old villa, and Wu Renpin went home almost every day. The dormitory had become Zhou Maode's private palace. He must be feeling empty, lonely and cold alone, so perhaps he would call the romantic man over to appreciate his poems.
Nan Yi returned to the dormitory building and looked around. There was no one in the corridor, so he put his ear to his dormitory door and listened for a while.
good!
What a great aria!
Pavarotti's "Nessun Dorma" has to stand aside.
Suddenly, a smile that was both brilliant and ferocious quickly crept onto Nan Yi's face.
