Chapter 2 The Power to Move Forward
Along the familiar road in his memory, Ye Gui rode home, for Ye Gui, who had not ridden a bicycle for many years, this was a very fresh experience, and he slowly and leisurely observed the roads on both sides while riding along the way.
I remember that there used to be a good restaurant, but now it has become a barbershop; Isn't this a grocery store, how did it become a store that sells ornamental fish, the more Ye Gui looks, the more strange he feels, it is different from the way home from high school in his memory, there are many shops that have changed.
Although Ye Gui had tried his best to restrain himself, this strange feeling still couldn't help but make him feel uneasy. In fact, according to Ye Gui's own cautious character, when he got out of school, he should first figure out what the current world was in the classroom before going out, but at that time, seeing that Liao Zhichen, the only acquaintance around him, was leaving, Ye Gui was worried that he would not be able to deal with what happened in the classroom alone, so he came out with him.
After chatting with Liao Zhichen all the way, Ye Gui calmed down a little, and he slowly accepted the fact that he had crossed over from the conversation, and tried his best to calm down, but when he went home alone at this time, looking at the changes in the surrounding scenery, Ye Gui suddenly had a strange feeling.
After a while, Ye Gui walked back to the community where he lived, which was typical of the early eighties, which was the family home of a factory under the first factory of Tongshi, the largest state-owned enterprise in Tongshi.
Ye Gui is located in the copper city is a resource-based city in the northwest, mainly to produce copper, there are also other mineral resources, in order to mine the resources here specially set up a copper market factory, and later with the scale of the slow expansion, this is a small town in the northwest has slowly developed into a large city.
There is a factory and a company in the copper market, and the factory is a factory in the copper market, which operates a variety of resource businesses in the copper market, including mining, smelting, building materials and a series of subordinate enterprises; The company is talking about the silver and white company in the copper market, which is a military enterprise, divided into old factories and new factories, of which the old factory is a factory built to produce explosives by the country in the past because of the relatively remote geographical location here, and the new factory is based on the production links of the old factory to produce some new chemical products.
This factory and a company in the copper market are very large, with many employees, accounting for most of the economy of the copper city, which can be said to be the skeleton of this northwest city, and Ye Gui's parents are one of the skeletons.
The old-fashioned building was still the same structure as the old houses, and the corridors were filled with miscellaneous items from various families, cardboard boxes, wooden planks, and piles of honeycomb coal.
Ye Gui slowly walked up the stairs, thinking that he didn't know what would become of his family.
When he reached the fifth floor, Ye Gui saw hot water boiling on the stove at the door of his house, and when he opened the door, a narrow corridor appeared in front of him, with two pairs of slippers in the corridor.
Ye Gui put on the slightly new pair of slippers and walked into the house, and Ye Mother Chen Ying was cleaning up in the living room.
"Mom, I'm back."
Ye Gui saw her mother squatting in front of the TV cabinet with rubber gloves and a rag, carefully wiping the storage drawers under the cabinet, she coiled her hair, and fine sweat broke out on her forehead.
After wiping the corner, Ye Mu turned her head: "Ye Zi, it's out of school, are you hungry?" Wait a minute, I'll clean up this and go grocery shopping and cooking. ”
Ye Gui felt sour when he heard this, in his previous life, he was not angry when he was young, and he didn't know how many times he kept his parents awake at night, but later he became sensible and was admitted to graduate school, but he has been very busy, so in a real sense, he has never been filial to his parents for a day. But no matter in his past life or in this life, his mother will always take care of him carefully and support him.
Ye Mu's words made Ye Gui let go of the uneasiness he felt about the changes in this world, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Mom, don't worry, I'll help you, and I'll go grocery shopping with you later." ”
Mother Ye watched with some surprise as her son took a rag from the bathroom and wiped the TV cabinet with her, trying to persuade him to go to rest first without help, but Ye Gui seemed to be a different person today, and insisted on helping to work together.
Ye Mu muttered in her heart, didn't this kid do anything bad, the college entrance examination is not going to be a few months away, but don't let anything happen.
Ye Gui couldn't hear it, otherwise he would definitely feel wronged, and his mother wouldn't let me be a good person.
Mother Ye was afraid that Ye Gui would be hungry, so she wiped the TV cabinet neatly, then changed her clothes, and was about to go out to buy vegetables with a cloth bag, but she didn't expect Ye Gui to follow, and Mother Ye asked suspiciously: "Are you really going?" ”
Ye Gui took the bag from his mother's hand and said seriously: "Yes, I haven't accompanied you to buy vegetables for a long time." ”
Mother Ye saw that her son, who usually couldn't move Ladula, was very determined to accompany her to buy vegetables today, and thought that he wouldn't study at home anyway, so it was better to go out and walk around with him, so she agreed.
The two went out and walked for twenty minutes to the vegetable market, and Ye Mu asked Ye Gui what he wanted to eat. This made Ye Gui a little excited, he hadn't eaten at home for many years, so he ordered a few of Ye Mu's specialty dishes on the spot.
Mother Ye was helpless, she knew that this kid would not be attentive for nothing, it turned out that she was greedy, so she took Ye Gui to the market for a long time to buy all the materials, and the two of them walked home with large bags and small bags.
When he went out of the market, Ye Gui noticed that there was a shop selling VCDs at the entrance of the market, and a pop song was playing on the stereo at the door of the shop.
Ye Gui felt very nostalgic when he saw this thing, compared to the resources that were easily available on the Internet in later generations, at this time, when listening to songs with VCD or even tapes, there was a kind of fun of slowly appreciating it, although the video and audio in this era were not rich, but a simple song was enough to make people of this generation very satisfied, like Ye Gui's father's generation, people of the generation may be able to hum a tune for a lifetime.
VCD appeared in the Chinese market in 93, after several years of development, with the birth of domestic brands and the stimulation of pirated video discs, it has been basically popularized in 97 years, and has almost become a must-have item at home after the TV refrigerator washing machine.
At this time, Ye Gui listened to the singing sound from the store that sold video DVDs, and looked at the posters posted at the door of the store, he seemed to suddenly think of something, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
"Wait until you finish the test and take a slow look, don't always think about playing now, let's go." Ye Mu saw Ye Gui standing at the door of the store that sold the video disc and didn't leave, thinking that he wanted to buy the video disc, so she urged.
Ye Gui saw that his mother didn't want him to be distracted by these things now, so he could only temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart, picked up his things and followed Ye Mu back, and looked back at him in the middle, as if he had missed something very important.
When the two of them arrived home, Ye's father had already returned, drinking tea and watching TV, and saw Ye Gui coming back with his mother with vegetables, and said a little unhappily: "Ye Gui, you are about to take the college entrance examination, can you go home every day and study hard, don't mess around." ”
Ye Gui listened to his father's words, he was not impatient, on the contrary, he was a little moved, he knew that in fact, both parents were very anxious about his future. Unlike Liao Zhichen, his father is the director of a workshop in the smelter under the first factory in the copper market, Liao Zhichen can rely on relationships to enter the field in the future, Ye's father is just a small technician in the aluminum factory, and he can't help Ye Gui at all, so Ye's father can only often spur his son to study hard.
At the end of the twentieth century, although he didn't want to have more college students in later generations, there were already quite a lot of college students, and in his impression, a second-class graduate student was afraid that the best result in the future would only be an ordinary office worker, which was a major blow to Ye's father, who had been ordinary all his life, and was counting on his son to get ahead.
At that time, he had been working in the factory for many years, and he usually strictly adhered to the discipline of the workshop and developed the habit of not drinking, so he went out to drink all night, and when he came back in the middle of the night, he took Ye Gui's hand and said drunkenly, son, Dad doesn't blame you, because Dad is not productive, Dad is just a worker who does nothing, so he can't help you, can't let you live an easy life, can't let you get ahead, Dad hates it very much, hates me for not cultivating you well.
Ye Gui felt sad thinking about this, his father had been very uncomfortable in his previous life for four years in college, and he didn't get better until he went to graduate school.
But Ye Gui thought about it, now that I have returned, will I let those repeat themselves, and his heart cheered up.
He put down the things in his hand, looked at the family, looked at the father who was drinking tea, and the mother who was about to go into the kitchen to work seriously said: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, there will be no problem with this exam, and I won't let you down again." ”
Mother Ye looked at her son, a little stunned, today's changes in Ye Gui exceeded her expectations, when Father Ye asked Ye Gui to study before, he always looked impatient, and never said such things.
Looking at the slowly darkening beard and firm eyes at the corners of her son's mouth, Mother Ye smiled, her son seemed to be sensible, and she said with satisfaction: "Okay, mom believes in you." Then he turned around and went into the kitchen, humming a little song and starting to cook.
……
Before seven o'clock, the Ye family had already finished dinner, Ye Gui helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went into his bedroom, turned on the lamp, and then took out a piece of white paper and a black gel pen, and began to write and draw on the paper.
It is impossible for Ye Gui, who has been reborn, to let his parents worry about him anymore, and at the same time he has bigger plans, since God has given him the opportunity to start over, how can he not grasp it.
First of all, Ye Gui began to summarize the current situation, and now he is back in 1997 when he was in his third year of high school, and now there are still 100 days to take the college entrance examination.
Although he was reborn, the world in front of him is somewhat different from the world in his memory, for example, the English teacher in his third year of high school was a man, but the voice he heard when he first woke up was a female voice, and after a conversation with Liao Zhichen, it was confirmed that there was never a male English teacher in the class; For example, on the way home, many things on both sides of the street have changed, and some of the shops that used to sell other goods, some have opened restaurants, and some have even been transferred.
Ye Gui guessed that these changes might be the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth, and his influence in his previous life was not great, so his changes did not cause changes in the general pattern of the world, but they still changed some things around him, and what he saw now was only on the surface, and there may be many changes that he was not aware of.
Then Ye Gui began to set goals for himself, one is to be admitted to a good university, so that his parents will no longer be sad because of his college entrance examination, and the second is to make money to repay the two, in his previous life, he woke up too late, and the second elder did not enjoy it easily for a day, this time Ye Gui will not make such a mistake again if he has the opportunity.
If you want to make money, you must first have capital, Ye Gui began to think carefully about the future generations He knows those ways to make a fortune.
The lottery to get rich overnight? pass, Ye Gui won a total of five yuan in his previous life when he bought lottery tickets from childhood to adulthood, and he didn't pay attention to any strange numbers, let alone let Ye Gui recall the winning numbers more than ten years ago.
Stock market? This is also pass, even if Ye Gui has never speculated in stocks when the stock rose sharply in later generations, in his cognition, since there is a sudden rise, it will definitely fall suddenly, and someone will definitely smash it into it in the end, this is a job that relies on capital and luck, so he has never speculated in stocks.
So what's left?
Writing a program? This is indeed a good way, it is the end of the twentieth century, many programs in later generations have not yet appeared, this is a way to make money, but with the current writing environment a utility workload is too large for a person, which is not realistic for him who usually has to review, more importantly, he has not even seen the appearance of a computer now, and what programming is there to talk about, this can be listed as an alternative for the time being.
Well
Ye Gui held his head in his hand and meditated, could it be that Lao Tzu was reborn and had nothing else to do in a short period of time except studying?
Suddenly, Ye Gui's heart moved.
He thought about why he felt strange at the door of that video store before, the song that was playing in the speakers... There are quirks.
