Chapter 134: Contradictions
"Every year during the Chinese New Year, I put up the tablet of the second elder in the house, and the tablet of the eldest brother, I thought you were gone!"
In the house, Pang Wenshan, who was too drunk, pulled his eldest brother Pang Wenhai and couldn't stop muttering, "What I'm most afraid of is that I won't be able to come to our house until I die!"
"As soon as I have time, I write to my home, hoping that there is still someone at home, even if the person who replies is not you, as long as it is from our Pang Zhuang, it is also a happy thing! I sometimes dream, I often dream of our old house, and the well at the head of the village, and the old locust tree at the mouth of the well! Sometimes, I can even remember when I was four or five years old and digging wild vegetables with my parents in the field.
Pang Wenshan grabbed Pang Wenhai's hand, "My son, grandson, sometimes ask me, they say, 'Is our hometown really so unforgettable?' I told them, 'There is the grave of our ancestors in the old family, and there is the root ...... of our old Pang family.'"
Listening to Pang Wenshan's drunken words, Guan Xiaojun sighed for a while, there are still many people in a situation like the two of them in the whole of China, and there are not a few national soldiers who fled to the treasure island at the beginning. After these people settled on Treasure Island, most of the veterans were not in a good situation, and only a few people could mix well.
But no matter whether it is good or bad, the mood of homesickness is almost the same, and many veterans are still chanting the names of their relatives in the mainland until they die of old age.
Many people who fled to the treasure island, whether rich or poor, as long as their health permits, they will strive for the opportunity to come to the mainland, and some of them have good economic conditions, so they will invest some money in their hometown to set up an industry, even if they do not have much money, they also want to bring their relatives to the treasure island to live.
At this time, the old man of Baodao was really good to the people of his family, and there was almost no anything related to interests. In another ten years, the compatriots who came to the mainland will no longer be as full of nostalgia for their hometown as they are now, when basically all the people who came to the mainland were businessmen, and the taste of money in their eyes was far greater than that of family.
After hearing Pang Wenshan's words, a room full of people felt sad, but compared to Pang Wenshan, Pang Wenhai was actually more miserable.
Pang Wenshan is homesick again, that is also homesick in a place with good living conditions, and Pang Wenhai has been in prison for more than 30 years, he wants to go home more than Pang Wenshan, because going home means freedom.
The whole birthday banquet was spent in the dialogue between the Pang Wenhai brothers, and it was not until it was dark that the birthday banquet was over.
"Eh, why didn't Yangyang come?"
When sending Guan Hongda's family out, Guan Hongqiao looked at Guan Hongda, "Why didn't you let Yangyang come over?"
Guan Xiaojun replied for his grandfather: "Grandma, my sister is about to take the high school entrance examination, and she didn't come because of her study during this time, so she asked me to bring you and your aunt and grandfather a good one, I wish you two old people happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"
Pang Wenhai laughed, "These two children are so sensible!"
Pang Wenshan took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Guan Xiaojun's hand, "Child, take the pocket money!"
Guan Hongda hurriedly stopped, "Wenshan, what are you doing here, what are you doing with so much money for your child?"
The two pushed and shoved for a long time, and when they saw that Pang Wenshan insisted on giving the money to the child, Guan Hongda did not stop him.
After giving a few hundred yuan to Guan Xiaojun, Pang Wenshan glanced at Guan Xiaojun with a smile, "Xiaojun, do you want to go to Nanbao Island with your grandfather to have fun? Actually, the environment on the island is quite good!"
Guan Xiaojun said with a smile: "Thank you, grandpa, I will definitely go to Baodao to see if I have time! But not now, when the compatriots in Baodao invite me to go, I will not be too late to go." ”
Pang Wenshan and the others looked at each other.
Guan Hongda scolded Guan Xiaojun in a low voice, "Xiaojun, what are you talking nonsense? You dare to brag in front of Grandpa Wenshan?"
Pang Wenshan laughed, "Good boy, ambitious!"
He said to Guang Hongda: "Hongda, don't scold the child, the child who can say this will definitely have a future in the future! Xiaojun, if someone on the treasure island invites you one day, then you must go to grandpa's house!"
Although Pang Wenshan said this in his mouth, he actually didn't think so, but children, it is also appropriate to say some crazy words, who has not been crazy at this age? He didn't laugh at Guan Xiaojun.
Since this birthday, Guan Yunshan and Pang Wenshan have known each other, and when Pang Wenshan talks with regional leaders about cooperative investment, he will pull Guan Yunshan as a companion. This suddenly highlighted the role of Guan Yunshan.
In fact, with Pang Wenshan's assets at this time, even if they are more than Guan Yunshan, they are also limited, and when it comes to contributing to local development, Pang Wenshan is not as good as Guan Yunshan.
But in the eyes of the local government, compared with money, the political significance of this treasure island compatriots to invest is much stronger than economic development!
This is an era of extreme thirst for political achievements, and even the era of craving to the point of madness, now investment promotion is a national political topic, in the eyes of local leaders, even if Guan Yunshan can bring 100 million benefits to Yunze area a year, it is better for Pang Wenshan to invest 1 million in Yunze to build a small business, economic development is not a matter of a while, how can there be a political performance of investment promotion?
It is also for this reason that Guan Yunshan's status has changed a little in the eyes of Comrade Hao Wenguang, but he is not very annoying.
Just when Guan Yunshan accompanied Pang Wenshan to negotiate investment with government officials, Guan Yang began to face the second hurdle in his school career - the high school entrance examination!
In order to improve the school's admission rate, when candidates fill in the volunteers, the teachers in the school will personally specify the schools you need to apply for. If you don't have a good academic performance and want to apply for a good high school, there is no door!
Unless you have a relationship, you have to choose the school according to the teacher who applied for it.
For example, students with good academic performance, students within the top ten in the usual class, the teacher will suggest that you take the key middle school such as No. 1 Middle School, of course, there are also suggestions to take the technical secondary school, this person's secondary school is more popular than the university, because after graduation, the job will be assigned. At this time, the secondary school score line is higher than the high school score line.
If you are a student with average grades, the teacher recommends that you take the entrance examination to an ordinary high school such as No. 2 Middle School, but there is also a quota limit, and only students in the top 20 in the class can apply for the exam.
But if the students with very bad grades are basically left to fend for themselves, some suggest squatting, some suggest going to technical schools, at this time one-third of the people will go to technical schools, one-third will go to squatting, and one-third will drop out of school and go home to farm.
Going to school is actually very cruel, the primary school exam, basically nearly half of the people, and when it comes to the high school entrance examination, two-thirds of the students have to be brushed off, and then when it comes to the college entrance examination, two-thirds or three-quarters of the people have to be brushed off.
The exam at this time is so cruel, since junior high school began to show a hideous face, the capable up, the mediocre down, without a good attitude and superior results, it can't hold on at all.
Unless someone in the family has a relationship, you can change the student's household registration book to a remote area, the northeast or the Tibetan border, etc., then it will be much better, but there are very few people with this ability.
At this time, when Guan Yang was about to fill in the examination volunteer, her homeroom teacher wanted Guan Yang to apply for the secondary school examination, in his opinion, all this was for Guan Yang's good, but Guan Yang said that he didn't agree to anything.
Because of this incident, the relationship between teachers and students was very bad, the teacher was angry, Guan Yang was also angry, and both parties felt aggrieved.
When Guan Xiaojun went to Guan Yang's classroom to give her walnuts to replenish her brain, she happened to encounter Guan Yang arguing with her homeroom teacher.
