Chapter 149: The pressure is great
Liu Bin set off on October 5 and stayed in the south for about two months, and waited for the New Year's Day next to the border.
Grandma Chen was discharged from the hospital before he left and moved directly to a new house on the Shaheyuan side. On the first floor over there, there is a shop and a small park at the door, which is the most convenient for the old lady to chat with someone during the day.
The circled small stationery store hired two clerks, students from a nearby vocational secondary school, working in two shifts, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The salary is not high, but it is enough for the two children to pay for the monthly living expenses.
This job is easy, and there are two meals, and the little clerk works very carefully and carefully, and even brings it with the old lady to have a meal or something.
The doctor did not allow the old lady to skip lunch, but she could eat less meat and more egg custard and milk cereal.
After the old lady passed, she took over the work of cooking at noon, and the four of them ate, two meats, two vegetables and one soup, and the rice was full. Not to mention that the two students were reluctant to accept this treatment, even the people in their courtyard came every now and then to ask if they could ask their relatives to come over to help.
You can't definitely come to help if you help, and Chen's mother is afraid that she will be involved with the people in the yard. Once there is involvement, you can't scold if you do something wrong, you can't say it, but if you don't say a word, your "notoriety" will be spread everywhere in the community, is she crazy or stupid, well-behaved and obedient students don't need it, take money to raise those white-eyed wolves?
In a word, to help students continue their studies on a work-study basis, this reason is to say, first of all, the street office will fully support it, and even mobilize other small shops and small companies to learn from Chen's mother, and try to provide students with work-study opportunities in positions that do not involve technical skills.
This offer is not the same as hiring a minor. If you want to recruit students, you must go to the neighborhood office to register, and you must verify your qualifications, and the number of students hired cannot exceed the total number of employees.
Chen's mother's stationery store hangs under her new company. The company includes three shops and two stationery stores, and has taken the initiative to apply for business licenses and tax registration, all of which are in place, so that people can't find a single mistake.
In addition, recruiting students is also subject to irregular visits by the student office of the student's school. This visit is a two-way street, in addition to finding out whether the employer has hinted at whether the employer has paid and whether the working hours have been exceeded, and also receiving various feedback from the employer to the student.
The two students who came to work in Chen's mother's shop were both about to graduate, and they didn't have much to do with their usual classes, so they could coordinate with each other to complete their working hours. When it is really necessary to ask for leave, Chen's mother will agree and will not deduct her salary.
With this, Chen's mother's company is also a well-known conscientious enterprise in the Chengbei community, and even the street office has put up a sign for Chen's mother's company: work-study base.
It is also because of the irregularity of management in the past two years, and after a few years and the employment is more strict, this kind of work-study will be terminated and replaced by an early internship contract. Remuneration and working hours are agreed, and a social practice report is issued.
After returning to her new house in Shahe, Grandma Chen got to know her neighbors within a week. Several old ladies invited each other to go around after sending their children to school, and there are many temples on the left and right. In addition to the old temple where Grandma Chen will always volunteer, there are several small temples that are not very well-known.
The life here is slightly different from the old house in the City God Temple, because the family is small, everyone wants to go out for a walk, and there is a small circle between several old men and old ladies.
Mrs. Chen's circle was jokingly called the incense burning group, and when she saw Tian'er, she listened to them say where to burn incense.
As we enter October, I feel that the days are much calmer.
In the hospital that day, what did the aunt say to her grandmother, Chen's mother didn't tell her, only said that Aunt Chen would not come to the door to make trouble in the future.
The house in the old house of the City God's Temple was rented out for 500 yuan a month, which is not a small amount, and it rises every year, which is the same as the market price.
The price of the two rooms that were separated from the old house as a shop is different, 30,000 yuan a year, paid in a lump sum.
The tenant is a boss from Guangdong Province in the south, who specializes in the wholesale business of small electrical appliances. The three bedrooms of the old house were the master bedroom, the other two were for small workers, and the utility room was used as a warehouse, and the yard was separated by a lightweight board against the fence, which was also used as a warehouse.
In this way, the whole set is only 36,000 a year, which is at least a quarter less than they expected.
Mrs. Chen also left the beds that she didn't need for the small workers, plus a complete set of household belongings in the kitchen, and the boss could cook by themselves when they moved in and cleaned up, which was much better than ordering food from other shops or asking someone to cook.
The previous Boss Song was because of the large household appliances he sold, and he wanted to deliver goods from car to car. The owner of the rented house this time sells small household appliances, what fans, electric heaters, rice cookers and the like. The purchasers are towed away by tricycles, so they will not dislike the streets that are too narrow to drive.
Thursday to Saturday of the first week after the National Day is the monthly exam.
At the back of the classroom, a neat table is drawn on a blackboard on the wall, with the names and goals of the students on the top line, and the scores and rankings for each exam below.
It's clear at a glance, and it's shocking!
On the right side of the blackboard newspaper, there is a small blackboard with clear big characters written on it: There are xxx days left before the college entrance examination.
In this atmosphere, the students don't even have to chat, and they are all immersed in questions between classes. The scene of going to the toilet and inviting them to go with you has become a thing of the past, and unless you can't hold it, you won't waste five minutes on the toilet.
Other students have been in this atmosphere for a month, but Chen Yixin has only felt it, all kinds of discomfort, and it took two days to adjust to barely keep up with the pace of the classmates.
After the results of the first monthly exam come out, the class will issue study tasks according to the test results, and those who complete the tasks and get good results in the next exam can get new learning tasks.
Within a few years of its implementation, this method was abolished by the rising parents.
But at present, it is still a particularly popular incentive measure, as Lao Lu said, "shame and courage" is the mentality they should have.
Chen Yixin doesn't quite understand how bad grades are linked to "shame", but for teachers, if you don't have good grades, you don't have to work, that is the shame of a senior high school student.
In order not to become the "shame of the third year of high school" in the teacher's mouth, everyone worked hard to study. Chen Yixin found that the blue and black under the eyes of his tablemate were about to solidify.
Not only their class, but also the liberal arts class.
Moreover, the teachers of the liberal arts class also like to say that their brains are not as active as those in the science class, and if they can't even bear the mechanical labor of memorizing, they simply don't take the college entrance examination.
I heard my table mates say privately that almost ten of their students have given up the college entrance examination in their first and third year of high school.
"We're okay, do you know the experimental school, I heard them say that since the year before last, if the results of the first diagnosis are not on the specialist line, the teacher will mobilize and give up the reference. I heard that this will ensure that their school's admission rate is far higher than that of other schools. ”
Chen Yixin has really heard of this, and there are many such situations in the past few years before the university has not expanded its enrollment, and after 9697, the university began to increase its enrollment expansion, and going to college is no longer a single-plank bridge. In the late 2000s, the admission rate to universities basically reached more than 95 percent. On the contrary, the difficulty of going on to higher education in the high school entrance examination far exceeds that of the college entrance examination.
