Chapter VII Self-Financing Tuition
Baishan is a proper noun in the Liangguang region, and it is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Dynasty, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period at the earliest, and gradually formed a custom in the Middle and Tang Dynasty.
Su Jingzhen's family is not a local in the traditional sense, his grandfather is a veteran who went south, and after fighting Hainan Island, he obeyed the country's assignment and demobilized in Nansha, but Jiang Xiuxia is a local with a strong roots, and the surname Jiang is a big surname in Tongguan Town, and famous characters include Jiang Guangnai, Jiang Yingchou and so on.
Therefore, the tomb sweeping of the Su family is much simpler than that of ordinary local residents, Grandpa Su suffered too much during the war, and died when Su was less than ten years old.
If you go up again, you have to go to Grandpa Su's hometown in North China to trace it, Su Guo has never been there, Su Grandma told him back then, but a few years ago, when he left the town, he had to open a letter of introduction, let alone go out of the province, that was a very troublesome thing, Su Quan's generation was an atheist who was brainwashed by the teacher from studying, and he didn't pay too much attention to the ancestral grave or something, and it was already very good to be able to take care of his two old people.
Coming down from the mountain, Su Kuang patted his son on the shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Son, listen to your mother, what you wrote in the small book this time is the stock market?"
Su Jingzhen can tell his mother about this, he has already done a good job that his father will ask, and his tuition fees in the next few years will also be earned from the stock market.
"Well, study it, the domestic stock market has only been open for a long time, a bear market like the current one, it should not be what the country wants to see, I estimate that there will be some policy measures introduced, I try to guess the time period when the measures will be introduced. Su Jingzhen simply told his father what he thought.
"Can this be guessed?" Su Jing was a little incredulous, staring at his son with wide eyes.
"Try it, and I'm not going to invest too much money into it, at most it's some pocket money, and it won't hurt the root if I lose it, and then I can guess the time and talk about it." Su Jingzhen changed the hoe on his shoulder to the other side and whispered to his father.
Looking at the mother who walked in front of her as if she was obviously relieved, Su Jingzhen was a little happy in her heart, there were too many people who lost money in stock speculation during this time, and it was no wonder that her parents were so concerned about this matter.
But what they shouldn't have expected is that their son really wants to make a big fuss in the stock market and is ready to make his first pot of gold, but it is too appalling to say it, and Su Jingzhen doesn't dare to tell the truth.
"How much pocket money do you have? It's not a good thing to make a fuss, and when the time comes, Dad will sponsor you a little bit. Hearing that Su Jingzhen wanted to invest his pocket money, Su Jingzhen's worries were put down, and he patted his son on the shoulder and boasted about Haikou.
Jiang Xiuxia, who was walking in front, couldn't listen anymore, turned her head to her husband and said, "Hey, Jingzhen has a lot of pocket money, maybe it's more than your private money." ”
"Ahem, I don't have any private money...... Su Jing always had a thread in his heart, and as soon as he heard the word private money, he immediately refuted it.
"Then where are you going to sponsor Jingzhen?"
"Isn't that still you, isn't it appropriate for the two of us to sponsor our son together?"
Jiang Xiuxia listened to her husband's words and choked up......
"No, I have saved all the benefits for the New Year in the past few years, as well as the pocket money you usually give me, which adds up to several thousand. Su Jingzhen couldn't let his parents quarrel, so he quickly diverted the topic.
"Hey, son, why do you have so much money?" Su Guan felt a little strange, these days, a few thousand yuan is not a minority, many families don't have so much money in total.
"My cousin is rich, and the benefits he gives for the New Year are generally a golden bull ......"
"Xiuxia, if your cousin has a child in the future, we will also give Lishi in the same way? But in that case, it will be a big bag, so ugly. At this time, what Su Kuang was thinking about was not how much his son's pocket money was, but how much he should give when he wanted to give red envelopes to others in the future.
"You stupid cow, you won't exchange Hong Kong paper in advance, won't it be over if you give it to Zhang Jinniu when the time comes, and you won't have a big bag." Jiang Xiuxia was walking down the mountain, and the small mud road after the rain was particularly slippery, so she could only walk cautiously, and she didn't dare to turn her head back, so she gave her husband an answer loudly.
Su Jingzhen was worried on the side, these thousands of yuan are really not enough, if you just want to earn some pocket money, or study in China, this money must be enough, but when I think of going to study on the side of the US imperialists in the future, I want to go to the economic center of the US imperialists, then the consumption must be high, and the living expenses plus tuition fees are estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars a year.
If there is a small mistake in the business of the parents, it is estimated that he will have to run out of food in the United States, so Su Jingzhen has to find a way to earn tuition now.
If it is a few years later, I may be able to encourage my parents to open an Internet café or something, but this kind of business with small investment and large profits cannot be opened now, not because there is no money, but there is no such condition, and the Internet only exists in various scientific research units or universities these years, and ordinary people have never heard of such a term.
Besides, even if there is an Internet, where can you find a game suitable for students to play? Command & Conquer is a game in 95, and the follow-up is also the most glorious Command & Conquer - Red Alert was released in October 96, and another popular real-time strategy game in the world Age of Empires was released in 97, which means that in 94 there was no game that could be played at all.
As for another game that can be played on the computer, MUD is even more unsuitable for novices to play, how can you get a group of people who can't even type to adapt to so many input commands in MUD?
So in 94, opening an Internet café is a fundamentally unreliable thing, and the game hall can also be considered, but there is one of the biggest problems with opening a game hall, which is that it is not safe.
In a place like Tongguan Town, where the majority of the foreign population is located, it is not a good choice to open an Internet café or a game hall, because the origin of outsiders is complicated, and the Internet café and game hall are very easy places to hide dirt and dirt, and accidents will occur if you are not careful.
This is not ten or twenty years later, at that time, everything on the Internet needed identity credentials to get on the computer, in the nineties, it was a person who could come in and get on the machine, if you fought in it, stole or something, you didn't have to chase after someone ran away, so although Su Jingzhen knew that the game hall might come with money quickly, he never had the idea to open one.
Don't laugh, the golden age of inverted treasury bills was in the mid-to-late eighties, and Su Jingzhen was a ten-year-old doll, even if he said this, Su Jingzhen would believe it? Even if it was believed, in that era when speculation was still a criminal offense, you had to do it with both of you, and if something went wrong, Su Jingzhen would probably go crazy.
Sometimes, even if you know that there is an opportunity to make money, but you don't have the conditions to implement it, it is also a special trouble, Su Jingzhen is in such troubles, listening to her parents' bickering, while thinking about getting more capital from there.
