Chapter 359: Choice
After going home for dinner in the evening, my father had a serious conversation with Xu Hui, and in Xu Hui's hut, the door was closed, and the privacy was better, so the father and son could let go.
But Xu Hui didn't expect this conversation to be very short, and he didn't expect his father to be so direct, the first question when he came up was, go to a cram school and take the college entrance examination or be unemployed at home, you choose one.
This is obviously a problem that Xu Hui has been struggling with, choosing one of the two is simpler than drawing lots, but for him, this matter is too complicated, not only him, it is very complicated for any young person who walked at the crossroads at that time, normal values and public opinion orientation are of course to study hard every day, such a choice accounts for the majority, but after the tragic fight on the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, only a very small number of people can continue their studies, and others will still return to the origin of the crossroads, conditional re-choice, unconditional can only go to the rightγ
Of course, there is no need to choose if the conditions are superior, thanks to the blessings of the ancestors, the road is in front of you, this is a very small number at that time, Xu Hui must choose, he knows very well that the patience of his family is limited, he was silent for a long time before saying, "I want to try to go to work and support myself." β
A layer of green air slowly appeared on his father's serious face, and it could be seen that he had endured very hard, and there was also a silence before he said again, "Have you figured it out?"
"I've been thinking about it these days, and it feels like going to cram school is a waste of money. After the first sentence was spoken, Xu Hui's heart was much more relaxed, although his father's anger was clearly written on his face, he still dared to say his true thoughts.
"You have to hear clearly, it's unemployed, not working, why do you support yourself?"
"I'm going to work in a store. The cold sweat on Xu Hui's face came down unconsciously.
"What store? Is it the Zhao family's second child's dance hall or Daqiang's karaoke?" The father's tone became very harsh, he didn't understand Xu Hui's movements, but he was deceived by some appearances, sometimes confused, and never found the right opportunity and angle to beat his son, but the car accident exposed a lot of problems for Xu Hui, and if it dragged on, this guy was afraid that he would be abolished, so he finally made up his mind to take this opportunity to talk directly and honestly, but he didn't expect it to be so disappointing at the beginning.
"No, the store is in the commercial alley, and I am not familiar with it at the beginning, and it is considered an internship, and it will be calculated as a salary in the future. β
Have you figured out the situation? Now that so many people are unemployed, how old are you? What kind of social connections do you have? How can you find a job? Don't you just want to go out and fool around? Father Xu popped out of his mind with a series of questions, feeling that his son's speech was becoming more and more unreliable, coupled with the anger under the strong pressure just now, he couldn't control it at all, and slapped the table and said sharply, "Don't go, just stay at home, I'll take care of you until you're twenty years old!"
Xu Hui still wanted to argue, but his father stood up angrily, slammed the door and went out.
This unpleasant conversation made Xu Hui's originally hopeful heart dimmed a lot, but he didn't blame his father, mainly because he had done too much wrong before and concealed too much, which made his father disappointed again and again, and the guilt and anxiety made him very depressed, but since he had determined how to go in the future, he would not change it easily, and his father could only find an opportunity to communicate slowly, as for whether it made sense, he was not sure at all.
Parents are busy with work, or give Xu Hui a lot of convenience, the next few days as scheduled to the Xihai bar, health is not to be done, the sound debugging is over, but there are still a lot of things to do before the opening, first of all, the waiters are not recruited, the big butt did not come, everyone has to divide the work and arrange shifts, go into battle in person, and the salary is not paid will not be mentioned first.
The second is the purchase, naturally the money is not enough, all kinds of wine, that needs to spend a lot of money, fruits, snacks and so on are also a lot of money, Fu Jianping to cheat at home, Xie San ran to his brother to steal, and the little change that other people made up was not enough to even eat a decent meal, so I had to talk to the previous supplier, at that time, the sense of commercial service was not like now, the state-owned field would not give you credit at all, looking for a private boss, and I was afraid of getting fakes, and all kinds of difficulties made Fu Jianping helpless.
In the end, Ruan Shiqing solved the big problem, his brother-in-law did distribution in the Chengbei non-staple food company, although on the surface there was no credit, but the rules are dead, people are alive, there are acquaintances to do things, find a way to be flexible, symbolize * point deposit, it is considered a cooperation between the two companies, the bar provides the venue, and a large number of non-staple food companies are placed on the counter, when the display is displayed, the money must be paid within a month, otherwise it will be counted as a breach of contract, and all the drinks will be dragged back, and there will be a fine.
Such a nondescript workaround can be regarded as saving everyone's lives, and the rest of the things will be solved, the bartender can't afford to ask, Xie San went on his own, this guy claimed to have learned, but no one believed it, and then he was forced to show his hand, it didn't look bad, so it was decided, but there was no salary.
The advertisement boasts that there is a chef, but in fact, it is Zou Meng's cameo, because the things are too simple, and they don't make cooked food at all, just fruit plates, homemade drinks, pastries and snacks, as long as the eyes are not blind and the hands are not disabled, they will get it twice, and the finished product is bought back, cut with a knife, and then put on the plate, which is nothing more than a good look, but Fu Jianping is very worried about Zou Meng's aesthetic level.
The band is very good at building a plane, and everyone used to have a good time, and promised to give priority to Xihai a week before the opening, and they were on call. The waitress came back with two, and there were still two missing, Fu Jianping was thick-skinned, and actually ran to find the girlfriend Xie Haiqing had talked about before, anyway, sitting at home and unemployed, it was better to come out to work, and the girl was also happy, and brought a female companion, who was also sitting at home without work, and the length was worthy of the audience, even if the manpower was complete.
After being busy every day, he had to practice singing at night, Fu Jianping spent his old nose to find Chenyang and Xia Lu, plus Xu Hui, and got four people, Xiaodong joined the army in the wrong way, he couldn't come back for the New Year, Erxiong didn't want to come, he was busy buying vegetables, and he didn't want to sing anymore when he was deserted, Shunzi couldn't find anyone, and he didn't know where to go to work with his father.
Everyone met and sighed, a year and a half have passed after graduation, everyone has changed a lot, Chenyang began the second year of repetition, the difficulty of its road, Xu Hui is very understandable, at a glance, his mood is quite depressed.
Xia Lu didn't take the exam after falling off the list, she was already working in the textile building, her relatives were looking for a way, she could work in a state-owned company with good benefits, her family must have strength and background, it was very enviable at that time, but it seemed that Xia Lu's mood was not high, and her expression was not salty or light, even if she didn't reunite with Xu Hui, she couldn't see how many surprises there were, maybe she had matured a lot after going to work, she really went to society, I want Xu Hui, Chenyang is like this, in the final analysis, he is actually still a student, of course, if strictly speaking, Xu Hui was not a student two days ago.
The venue of the Xihai bar is first-class, and the audio equipment is also of high standard, when the bar was taken, Zhao Ge listened to Fu Jianping's words, and was willing to spend money, all of which were good things, compared to the 'western grass mang' in the small courtyard of Fu Jianping's house when the ghost cried wolf, the laser lights on the head, the dance floor and the orchestra pit were integrated, the red marble floor tiles, the power amplifier was imported, the musical instrument Xihai already had, and if it was not enough, it was moved from Fu Jianping's house, and the conditions were leveraged.
Erxiong didn't come, he lacked a drummer, so he dragged Shan Tao up to fill the number, stood there, twisted his ass casually, and followed the rhythm with a small hammer to knock on it, he didn't have high requirements, it didn't matter if he leaked, don't smash it. Xia Lu's musical instrument is not left behind, and she always likes to play two songs after work, so she was simply chosen as the lead guitar, and Fu Jianping accompanied the keyboard, due to the limitations of the venue, the bass player did not want it, and Chenyang was also the accompaniment guitar.
As soon as the door was closed in the evening, it was all their own people in the bar, Xie San, Ruan Shiqing, Zou Meng and other buddies, and even the waiters all stayed behind to act as Guanzhong, sitting in a circle, and the atmosphere was made up.
But the first time I practiced, I didn't have the previous taste when I sang it, Fu Jianping's song was Jiang Yuheng's "Ticket Stub", which was still sung by Xu Hui, and after a short while, Fu Jianping was very dissatisfied.
"This song is not good, too face. In order not to hurt everyone's face, Fu Jianping came to a conclusion randomly, but he knew in his heart that the rustiness of everyone's hands was a secondary factor, and after graduation, they went their separate ways, and the brothers could no longer get back the taste of 'western recklessness' back then.
