Chapter 13: New Life
In the streets of the capital in ninety-six years, the originally safe and prosperous scene was really different in Jiang Yizhou's opinion, even in his previous life, he had never been in contact with things worth so much money every day, even if it was something that might be worth so much money in the future.
In his previous life, he barely survived with a monthly salary of almost tens of thousands of yuan in the capital, and he couldn't afford to have the slightest idea of registering in the capital and buying a house.
And in this era, this is almost the best way he can grasp to make a fortune.
"Uncle, I'm back. Nervously, Jiang Yizhou lightly opened the courtyard door that was just closed, and when he arrived at his residence, he knocked on the window, and shouted Jiang Maode, who was reclining on the bed, as if he was asleep listening to the radio.
The old man rubbed his eyes, got up from the bed, and found that Jiang Yizhou, who looked very unusual, didn't ask much, and quickly let him in.
"How's it going?" The old man was not as nervous as Jiang Yizhou, maybe he didn't have any concept of collecting, or maybe his fifty years of experience made him look at everything lightly.
Jiang Yizhou looked left and right, confirmed that there were no outsiders, and there were no surveillance cameras in the past few years, so he finally put his mind at ease, and then began to worry for no reason.
Did you buy too much at once, maybe someone noticed it, wouldn't it be safer if you could buy it separately a few times?
It has not been a few days since I came to this era, but the concept of money has indeed been changed, one dollar can be a full breakfast, pork is still one or two yuan a catty, the same big brother is worth tens of thousands of yuan, and the installation fee of a phone is several thousand yuan, and it costs another one or two thousand yuan a year.
Some goods are still in line with the wage level, and some have indeed advanced by leaps and bounds.
Jiang Yizhou comforted himself, then took out the packaging box from under the padded jacket and put it on the table, "Uncle, I have already bought the things!"
The old man looked at the box full of magnetic cards, and he really didn't understand, how could this kind of thing make money?
"Hey, since I've bought all the things, follow me to work on the construction site tomorrow!"
Jiang Yizhou nodded, then seemed to think about something, and then asked, "Uncle, is there any place to hide things?"
"If you don't feel at ease, just nail it under the bed, you shouldn't keep taking it around, right?"
Jiang Yizhou glanced around the room, and there was no way to find a better way for such a large thing, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
"Work hard after a boat!" Jiang Maode changed his words and talked about his daily routine, "Didn't your parents send you out just so that you could find a partner as soon as possible? Look at how difficult it is to find a daughter-in-law in the fields in your hometown, you can earn a few dollars from a few acres of land, and you have to pay public grain, and there is no way out for farming!"
The old man seemed to be a little emotional, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in his jacket pocket, took out a box of matches from the bedside table, took out one and wiped it gently, a small flame burned, lit a cigarette, and then extinguished the match.
"Your family is fine, your parents are in good health, but they refuse to leave their hometown, they can't let go of your grandmother, you came out to work this year, your sister, I remember, it's called Erya, right?"
Jiang Yizhou had to accompany the old man to chat, at least for a few months, he couldn't hide, and if he had the money to rent a house, he might as well buy a few more magnetic cards!
He heard the old man say this, in the past few days when he came to this era, he was focused on making a fortune, but he didn't think much about his family, after all, seeing his family again, it was basically the next Spring Festival, the earliest is to go home in midsummer, and there is time to think about how to deal with the relationship with his family.
"Forehead ......" Jiang Yizhou, who was a little stunned, thought about it a little, and the information about his hometown and family all remembered that the family conditions in this life were not good, and the peasants of the times did not know any words, that is, their brothers and sisters, Jiang Yizhou went to the fifth grade of primary school, and then dropped out of school, and his sister Erya was very diligent in school, and now she is in the third year of junior high school......
"Yes, Erya, hahaha!" Thinking of his lovely sister, Jiang Yizhou deeply felt his feelings for his sister from the memory of the original owner, by the way, when Jiang Yizhou mentioned his sister, he couldn't help but laugh as before, there is a sister, it feels like it's pretty good.
"Erya is not bad, much more motivated than your brother, when I go to secondary school in the second half of the year, it would be nice to be able to serve the iron rice bowl of the public family!"
Compared with this family, he is quite tragic, because his father died early, he was a poor boy who could only go out and make some money, before marrying his wife, the good times did not last long, and his wife ran away, and his heart was tired in the future, and he had no intention of breaking through, and he stayed in this fellow engineering team for almost ten years.
Jiang Yizhou listened with a smile and a grin, but when he suddenly heard some words, he felt that something was not right, and interrupted the old man who was stuck in his memory, "Uncle, you mean, Erya, she wants to go to secondary school, right?"
College and secondary school students were very popular nine or six years ago, because they also belong to the scope of package distribution, although they are not as good as college students, but high school plus college tuition and living expenses, etc., many families, especially rural families can not support, it is not difficult to understand the choice of secondary school.
However, this year is the first year that college and secondary school students have canceled the allocation, and it is a heavy blow to secondary school students, who completely rely on package distribution and have the advantages of early distribution.
"Why don't you go to secondary school? You have to pay nearly 1,000 yuan in one semester of high school, not including miscellaneous fees, and you don't want to see what your second uncle's family has become like for your cousin to go to high school! If it weren't for your cousin's anger and reduced his tuition and miscellaneous fees, otherwise his parents would have to sell blood!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Maode didn't know how to evaluate it, if he really confessed to being a college student and getting ahead, it would be worth it, so I was afraid that he would ......
"Erya is a girl, what's the use of reading so much, now you are not too young, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law in a hurry, if you are dragged by that girl for three years of high school, and then for four years of college, what will it be!"
Jiang Yizhou felt sad about the idea that the old people took for granted the preference for sons and daughters, and passed on the ancestry to succession, but he didn't think it was the fault of the old people, the entire 90s was the most bitter era for the peasants, and there were not a few people who committed suicide under heavy pressure, and countless rural people were forced to go out.
In such a situation, it is not easy to bear the heavy price of providing for a child to go through high school and college, even if they are not in debt and have seriously ill relatives.
It's decided, at least make sure that my sister has the money to go to high school!
Jiang Yizhou feels that his current life has a goal worth paying.
