Chapter XXV: The Trip in July '92

After nearly 24 hours of travel, Zhao Hong finally arrived at Haishi Station, also known as Xinke Station. At this time, the Haishi Railway Station is not much different from more than 20 years later. Walking out of the south exit, Zhao Hong said goodbye to a few friends he had met for the first time, and set off alone near Haishi Normal University.

Zhao Hong sat on the dilapidated bus and felt the congestion of the Haishi bus, almost all of them were people next to each other, which bus was, looking at the prosperity of the Haishi city outside the window, the flow of people was blazing, buses, taxis, the most bicycles, and a large number of walking people, there was not much difference between men's dresses and many years later, women's dresses were all kinds of things, light-colored tops with floral skirts, monochrome long skirts, energetic high-waisted culottes, and occasionally a hip skirt that was not left behind even after 20 years. Occasionally, a motorcycle whizzes past cars and people.

Crossing the overpass near the railway station to the PT area, which is the LC area of Haishi, along the street you can see many old houses, and the area under construction, Haishi is the first city in China to carry out real estate reform pilots. In recent years, housing prices have risen rapidly, and have reached a level close to 500, which is the price before the price rise in 93, food stamps can still be used as money to spend, once the food stamps are abolished, prices will have a big rise, just like Zhao Hong's brother's salary in 92 years is still more than 120 yuan, and at the end of 93 years it is close to 200 yuan, and the living expenses of college students have risen from more than 30 to more than 50.

At this time, people's wages were less than 200 yuan, and the price rise in July of '92 began to show signs.

Buses move slowly through the city, and people who go to work in the afternoon are busy on the road. Nearly an hour later, I came to the vicinity of the intersection of Jinshajiang Road and Nujiang Road, where the Normal University was located. Get off Zhao Hong found the school's guest house and lived in, it was cheap and safe, and there was no one yet, because it was during the holidays.

After resting for a night, Zhao Hong began to explore the mode of bus and walking, to understand the environment around the university, to expand the scope, and to deepen the impression and cognition, although Zhao Hong came to Haishi in the previous life, and lived in Haishi for two years, but it was another district after the current 7 years, and he has not been here and these seven years are the seven years of the fastest development and change of Haishi, and many places are likely to become invisible.

Changfeng Village, No. 2 Village, and many projects under construction, there are also pre-sold or sold, the unit price is about 600, less expensive than the old house, the total price is about 40,000, but it is a new house, and it is an existing house, and it has also been simply renovated.

Zhao Hong's own money is only about 3,000 yuan, which is not enough at all. Zhao Hong looked at the room and sighed. It's so cheap, but you can't afford it.

After wandering around the Haishi Normal University for a week, Zhao Hong used a notebook to record a lot of his investigations. Including prices, economy, transportation, work, living facilities, etc., I have memorized several books, what is the use of slowly re-analyzing.

Then I took the train to Hangzhou. Hangzhou is the capital of ZJ province, but the most economically active city here is Wencheng below.

After visiting some of the most famous tourist attractions in Hangzhou, I left. By the way, let's take a look at the various price levels here.

Wenshi is still a concentration of counterfeiting, counterfeit and shoddy products are everywhere, people here have begun to run around the country, many places in Haishi have seen a lot of Wencheng small shops, especially grocery clothing stores. The things in it are not expensive, they are all small things, but they are commonly used in life, needles, buttons, power sockets, small headdresses, and so on.

I inspected the local foreign trade small commodity wholesale market, recorded several thick materials, and made a simple market analysis and market sales plan based on my many years of market experience in my previous life. Profit and risk are measured in each industry. Later, I went to the local tea wholesale market to communicate with the merchants and learn about the channels of tea wholesale and retail. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place where the map was made, which was very small, only a few printing houses were doing it, but the big difference in the price of the batch was scary.

A week after the ZJ event, Zhao Hong booked a ticket to take the train and began to prepare to go home. Because at this time, it is almost time for the results of the college entrance examination to be announced. Although I am very sure, I am still a little worried about not seeing the score, especially if I have made an agreement with my parents in advance.

Zhao Hong not only wants a vigorous and heart-wrenching career, but also wants to be with his lover, the parents are short, firewood, rice, oil and salt, Zhang San's tatters that he listens to every day, Wang Er's crazy words, trivial but warm life.

When you are forty years old, you can retire, start to enjoy life when you don't feel afraid of age, you can accompany your children to grow up slowly every day, accompany the elderly to grow old slowly, and have no regrets in this life, whether it is career or family.

This is Zhao Hong's simple and long-term plan, ordinary and happy.

At the beginning of August, Zhao Hong returned to his hometown by train, and as soon as he got off the train, the dry heat wave swept in, which was really comfortable, and it was hot and humid for 20 days outside. Washing socks for a few days still feels damp, only when you wear them and dry them with the human body, you sweat for a while, and you sweat all over your body, which is really uncomfortable. If you can't sleep at night, early morning is the best time to fall asleep.

Go home, go home, Zhao Hong is already desperate to go home. Change into clean, dry clothes and take a shower. Alas, happiness is as simple as that.

After resting at home for a week, the results of the college entrance examination came out, and Zhao Hong's total score was 532 points, which greatly surprised the expectations of teachers and classmates, and entered the top ten of the class, far exceeding his usual performance. Zhao Hong went to the school again to inquire about the situation of Haishi Normal University, but there was no gain, because the students who reported were not stable, so the score line of Haishi Normal University was also high and low, and Zhao Hong's grades should be no problem.

But there's nothing that should be done, so let's do it ourselves. After inquiring about the address of the recruitment office in S Province, Zhao Hong was ready to take a look for himself.

The next day, according to the habit of doing business before, Zhao Hong prepared some small commodities brought back from ZJ, exquisite lighters, beautiful headdresses, and a high-end cigarette, with 1,000 cash on his body, and set off to the provincial recruitment office to see the situation.

Zhao Hong arrived at more than 8 o'clock in the morning, and there were already a lot of people near the recruitment office. Many people were cautious, gathering in piles and whispering about something, as if they were afraid of revealing some secrets.

Sometimes there will be a person in the recruitment office, and everyone will immediately surround and ask about the news, some are proud, some are silent, and they don't talk much, but everyone is still happy.

Zhao Hong is also one of them, listen more and observe more, and slowly discover some rules, most of them are here to fight for the quota of commission trainees, because then they can be admitted with lower scores, and there are not many like Zhao Hong, most of them want to change a major.

Zhao Hong drank the tea he brought, ate bread, and never dared to leave, carefully observing everyone, opportunities are always given to those who are prepared.

Look for a quiet, open view of the shade of the trees, stay slowly.

Zhao Hong heard in his last life that the parents of a classmate used this method to fight for a better major for their children, which played a very big role in the future graduation distribution of their children, especially when everyone's scores were very close, and even under the same circumstances, it was indeed a great chance to be admitted to which major.

So Zhao Hong still waited patiently. Time passed slowly, and there was no chance until it was dark at night, and Zhao Hong was ready to go home. Suddenly found that a staff member came out to see a person and said a few words, Zhao Hong hurriedly walked up, because Zhao Hong found that the staff member was the parent of a classmate, and Zhao Hong had met once.

Zhao Hong walked over and hurriedly said, "Hello uncle, I'm Cao Bing's classmate. ”

The classmate's father looked at Zhao Hong in some surprise, "You know me?" and then said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Hong hurriedly said, "I applied for Haishi Normal University, and the score is 532, I don't know if I can reach the admission score line?" and hurriedly handed over his admission ticket number and the school and major he applied for.

The parents of the classmates nodded and said, "You'll come back later." ”

Zhao Hong didn't dare to go anywhere in the position outside, and about half an hour later, the parents of the classmates came out again, smiling and saying, "Your grades are enough, and your report is low." Congratulations, you have time to play with Cao Bing. ”

After saying that, he left.

Zhao Hong was very excited, and stood there alone for a long time. Slowly, he moved to the side of the bicycle with flirtatious steps, and whispered to himself, "It's done, it's done." Zhao Hong found that he was excited and his hands were a little trembling, and there was no way to ride the bicycle, thanks to the taxis on the side of the road at this time, Zhao Hong stood on the side of the road and began to stop the car, and it took a while to stop the car, and with the help of the driver, he took the car home, along the way Zhao Hong kept chattering "I was admitted, I was admitted" The driver was also funny;" Congratulations. ”

After getting off the bus, I locked the bicycle and ran back home, "I was admitted, Haishi Normal University." Zhao Hong's tears ran down both sides of his cheeks.

The family members nodded silently with him, his mother also cried silently, and Zhao Hong cried like a child for a rare time in recent years.

The family understands him very well, Zhao Hong was originally the youngest child in the family, absorbing the advantages of his parents' appearance, but also taking many shortcomings of his parents, his memory is very poor, his understanding is limited, and his physical fitness is not good, he has always worked very hard. But Zhao Hong himself hopes to go to high school and take the university entrance examination, and choose a hard and dangerous path. His family was worried about him all the time.

Today I finally survived the victory.

The whole family felt very happy. Happiness is always after the storm.
