The next day, Guo Zhonghua went to the market to buy good vegetables, a carp and a pound and a half of pork bones.

I plan to make pork bone soup tonight, Guo Zhonghua bought a pig skull, because pig skull is the cheapest of pork bones, and many people try to choose pork skull whenever they want to make pork bone soup in order to save money.

In the evening, there are two kinds of meat dishes, pork bone lotus root soup and fried carp, which are relatively hearty.

The father called the child's uncle and third aunt, which can be regarded as practicing for his son.

Guo Wendong's father has 4 siblings, and his father ranks second.

The others are the eldest uncle, the third aunt, and the fourth uncle.

The eldest uncle and the third aunt are both farming in the village, and the fourth uncle is doing business in Guancheng.

At dinner, the two relatives not only congratulated Guo Wendong on being admitted to a prestigious university, but also repeatedly told his nephew to pay attention to the problems after going to a big city, for Guo Wendong, these are all nonsense.

After eating, Xie Xiaolian cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Guo Zhonghua took out a stack of coins and put them on the table, this is the third set of Chinese coins, of which 14 are hundred-yuan bills with four heads.

He said solemnly: "Dong Zai, one meal in the university canteen, 5 cents for breakfast, two and a half yuan for three meals a day, food expenses plus other expenses, 100 yuan a month living expenses are enough! ”

During this period, the monthly salary of teachers and civil servants was only more than 100, and 1,900 was more than a year's salary. The average monthly income of Guo Wendong's family is more than 100, and the annual income last year was only more than 2,000 yuan.

The parents scraped together, but they only made up most of it, and borrowed a little from their son's uncle and third aunt.

Guo Zhonghua moved his eyes to his daughter again and said, "You have to save your salary, and you will give him the remaining two months of living expenses in my brother's first semester." The whole family has worked hard in the past four years, and when Dongzai graduates, our family will have a much better life, maybe we will be able to wash our feet and go to the fields. ”

He did not ask if he had been assigned a job after graduation, after all, at this time, even if he graduated from junior high school and went to work in a private company in the city, his salary may not be lower than that of civil servants in his hometown. At this time, college students are very popular, and it is easy to find a job in the city after graduation, not to mention that Guo Wendong is studying at a prestigious university.

The 90s was an era of great change and an era full of opportunities.

Since 92, after the reform and opening up has been fully affirmed, the rapid development of the economy has set off a tide of doing business in the sea, the wisdom of the people has been completely stimulated, and the productive forces have been completely released.

This trend ended at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

With the gradual maturity of social development and the more and more full competition in various industries, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for great development and great achievements.

At that time, the establishment of civil servants and state-owned enterprises will be truly popular, and many people will do everything possible to squeeze into the establishment, and the civil service examination will be like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Now, even the wages of many private enterprises are higher than those of state-owned enterprises and civil servants.

This year, several cadres of the town government have resigned and gone to sea.

Guo Liyun nodded perfunctorily.

Guo Zhonghua gave his daughter another 30 yuan as pocket money before going to work and paying her salary.

In the original history, Guo Wendong University was 4 years old, and the tuition fee was borne by his parents, and the living expenses were basically borne by his younger sister.

Guo Wendong handed the money to his son and advised: "The money must be loaded, and we must save some money in the future!" After going to Nanzhou, call the pager and ask the pager to send me a message to report my safety. ”

A few days ago, he deliberately bought a BB machine, and in order to save money, he bought second-hand goods, just to make it easier for his children to contact him.

Sangu said: "If you go to Nanzhou by car, you may encounter scammers such as cans and pencils, don't believe it, don't be fooled." In the future, when you go out in the provincial capital, you must remember to bring your ID card and student ID, otherwise you may be regarded as a 'three-no person'. ”

Uncle said: "The thieves in the car are very shrewd, some deliberately approach you and steal money with blades, and your money must be put away." ”

Both of them are authentic farmers and have never been to the city, and these are all things that have been told by people who have been out of the village.

Guo Zhonghua said to his wife: "You wait to sew a bag into your son's pants, and your son will put the money in the inner pocket so that it is safe." ”

Xie Xiaolian responded.

Faced with such a thing again, Guo Wendong couldn't cry or laugh.

In the last time and space, the same was the case, the father was afraid that his son's tuition money would be stolen in the car, so he specially asked Xie Xiaolian to sew a bag inside his son's trousers.

Guo Zhonghua told his daughter again that after going to the Western restaurant, she should work steadfastly, not spend money lavishly, and nag for a while.

After Xie Xiaolian sewed the bag, she packed up her son and daughter's things, and packed clothes, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other items.

If it weren't for her son's agreement in advance, Xie Xiaolian would have bought plastic buckets and hangers for her children to bring.

That night, my parents, uncle, and third aunt chattered for a long time.

In the last time and space, Guo Wendong has been in the society for many years, understanding the various social conditions and human feelings, and the "teachings" of the four seem very verbose to him, sounding a little annoying, and he has been perfunctory, occasionally answering in a coping manner, so that his family can rest assured.

The next morning, the station.

Parents, uncle, and third aunt all came to see the two off.

Here to Nanzhou all the way to take the national highway, the distance is 180 kilometers, the fare is 7 yuan.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, under the eyes of the four people, the brother and sister got into the car.

The southbound car carried the brother and sister, leaving their hometown where the two of them had lived for nearly 20 years, the parents at the station had disappeared from sight, Guo Liyun was still immersed in the melancholy of leaving home and couldn't extricate himself, but Guo Wendong had already adjusted his mentality, he looked at the rapidly receding light and shadow outside the window, and had a lot of thoughts.

In the last time and space, since he went south to study, he no longer lives in his hometown, and has become a floating population in a big city, which makes Guo Wendong happy that now that his soul has been reborn, everything has been very different.

Now he has the experience and ability he has cultivated in his previous life, and he understands the future development trajectory, and he has spent several years in his previous life to research advantageous products.

Guo Wendong did not feel sad about leaving home, and his mind was full of expectations for a better future.

Since it is not a festival, not many people go south to the provincial capital.

The current national highway is still an old-fashioned asphalt road, the road is crooked, and there are potholes, which is not very comfortable to sit on.

Along the way, I didn't encounter the fraud and theft that my parents and relatives said, these phenomena do exist, after all, the probability of encountering them is not too high.

It took less than 200 kilometers to reach the provincial capital.

After the bus entered the downtown area of Nanzhou, Guo Liyun kept looking out the window, the country girl entered the city for the first time, and she felt very new about everything in the big city.

Guo Wendong was full of emotion in his heart.

In the last time and space, when he reached middle age, he often recalled his youth, and now he is really fortunate to be reborn to the age of 19 and start this green time again.

The car drove into the Viet Thiang South Bus Station and stopped.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a group of motorbike riders drove their motorcycles and surrounded them.

"Pretty boy, where are you going?"

"Pretty girl, where are you going?"

Guo Wendong ignored them and walked out holding his sister's hand.

He observed the surrounding environment, the surrounding area of the station was relatively crowded and noisy, and he had to find a quiet place and tell his sister about the next plan.

But my sister couldn't wait and asked, "Brother, can you talk about it now?"

Guo Wendong touched his stomach and said, "Let's have lunch first." ”

Guo Liyun is very anxious to know the truth, which is related to whether she can re-enter the campus next year.

Two days with a big bag, I came to a restaurant next to the station.

"Pretty boy, what do you want to eat?"

There are steamer rice and claypot rice for 1.2 yuan a piece.

Guo Wendong asked for a cured rice, and Guo Liyun asked for chicken rice.

After eating enough, Guo Wendong took his sister and found a quiet place nearby.

"Brother, you can always say it now!" My sister was hung up for a long time, and she endured it very uncomfortably.

Guo Wendong asked, "Do you think Coke is delicious?"

"Haven't you drunk it too!" Guo Liyun nodded.

Guo Wendong lowered his voice and said: "When I was in high school, I researched a drink formula that can reduce fire, prevent fire, and taste good, as long as I have a little capital, I go to the wholesale market to buy good medicinal materials, and I can make this herbal tea drink similar to Wang Laoji, the taste is a little similar to Wang Laoji, and there is a difference, it can really reduce fire and prevent fire." People drink herbal teas that really cool down the fire but have a bitter taste, and cola can sell well all over the world just because it tastes good. My herbal tea tastes good, and it also has other functions, so if you manage it well, you will definitely sell well. ”

My sister was overjoyed when she heard this, then frowned again, and asked, "Brother, you were able to study it during high school, and the taste is really good?"

This is so unbelievable that normal people would not believe it.

Guo Wendong smiled lightly and said: "Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.
