Chapter 41 College Entrance Examination
Mo Nan hung up, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Old Man Lin standing not far away. 'Ho' startled her and patted her chest.
"Grandpa Lin is standing behind him, if he doesn't make a sound, people will die if they are scary."
"You're still scared, it's not a small tone, 10 million dollars." Old Man Lin looked at her inscrutablely.
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, of course he should comfort them." Since he heard it, Fang Menan simply admitted that he could still be escorted by multiple people.
"People are big ghosts, I just heard that the Japanese stock market is all about?" Old Man Lin knocked on her head, everyone has secrets, and there are many secrets in his heart. As long as he doesn't get in the way of others, he cares about other people's affairs, and he also wants to unveil the veil of mystery.
"It's okay in Japan, just go and earn some pocket money." "Fang Monan is now letting go, and there is nothing to hide until now, it has been exposed a lot, and now he has no scruples, so he simply said it generously.
"Just earn some pocket money, you should earn it all." Old Man Lin said indignantly.
Fang Menan looks no different from a robber when he looks at him, in fact, not only Mr. Lin, but almost all the old people who are the same age as him in the country, especially those who have been on the battlefield and resisted Japan, and even middle-aged people have a very strong sense of hatred towards Japan, this sense of hatred is engraved into the bones, dissolved in the blood, and the old people have an unforgettable hatred for the Japanese, even in the 21st century, except for the children who are not sensible, most people still have a lot of hatred for Japan, but this emotion is not often exposed.
"It's not time yet, and there will be a bigger chance in a few years." Fang Menan said funny.
"Tell me more about Japan." Old Man Lin said a little anxiously, he was excited to make money in small Japan.
"It's complicated to say, and it's not clear for a while. If you really want to get a thorough idea, I suggest you read more books on finance, Cheng Shigui sent a lot of these books, all of which are in English originals. Fang Menan said.
"In this way, I'll be reading the book later, you tell me some first, I also understand the superficial stock market, but it's been a long time, and I don't remember much." Old Man Lin was a little disappointed, but he still wanted to get an idea as soon as possible.
Fang Monan heard that he had a financial background, so he said that Japan's economic development is too fast, there are already signs of detachment from the real economy, and there is a precursor to the bubble economy, the whole of Japan is in an unprecedented boom, the Japanese government attaches more importance to real estate and virtual property than to industry and major enterprises, although the price of real estate is very high, the stock market and the real estate market are falsely booming, but that is only virtual, once the price of real estate falls or something else happens, the entire Japanese economy will fall into chaos, Then it collapses, and at that time speculators, big and small, and even the U.S. government will not give up this opportunity, and when the time comes, I will step in, and the Japanese economy will be set back ten years. The corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled.
"You're really poisonous." Old Man Lin looked at her and said, "I like it." ”
"Well, it's not that I'm poisonous, it's the U.S. government that eats meat, and I'm just drinking some soup with it." Compared to the U.S. government, she is already very benevolent.
Old man Lin was silent, the economic and financial knowledge he learned when he was young had been still in the Pacific Ocean, if it was someone else, he would just laugh. If there is a shadow of the U.S. government, then it is more likely. If you can make this country still the small country that once made the people suffer a lot of economic regression. He didn't have time to be happy, Fang Monan has a talent for business, it seems that this is just a piece of cake, and what shocked him even more was her views on finance and economics. It seems that he also had to take a good look at books on economics and finance, and in the days that followed, they often discussed the Japanese economy in newspapers and magazines.
After all, Old Man Lin is an aristocrat and an educated elite, and he quickly understands it, "Actually, to put it bluntly, it is caused by the greed of human nature." It's like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. You can see it, but you can't eat it. ”
Auntie accidentally saw that Mr. Lin was so addicted to finance, and gradually became interested, but not now, when you sprint hard in the college entrance examination, you must have no distractions. However, this also indirectly affected her to apply for the university entrance examination, in Fang Monan's view, learning and using are two different things. It's a personal will, and she can't interfere.
Grandma is always sad these days, Fang Menan asked, Grandma, are you thinking? Always frowning. ”
Grandma said that money has dropped these days, and I wonder if I should do some other tricks. ”
"Oh, there are a lot of people who follow the trend, don't skip words. Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It's not like following the trend, the people in your county obviously have some spare money, and they all want to eat some good ones, such as shortbread, fried glutinous rice dumplings, fried cabbage corners, fried sugar cakes, fried dough sticks, etc., but they have taken away many of our people and lost a lot of customers." Grandma muttered.
"Which grandma wants to improve, don't skip words. Fang Menan asked.
"Nannan here, I have some ideas that are not perfect, you can refer to them in detail." Grandma remembered her granddaughter's cleverness, and her eyes lit up. Seeing her nodding, she said that your grandma and I have no other skills, but there are two brushes to make pasta, and the green onion pancakes with mung bean noodles are a must. ”
Fang Monan's eyes flashed, it seemed that grandma really got into it, and she started from what she was good at, rather than blindly following the trend. "It's not an idea, but grandma, are you too busy not to skip words.
"Busy, now your grandmother Liang and my aunt can do it, except for me to send steamed buns, sell steamed buns, and steam steamed buns, the two of them are all round." Grandma said again, Aren't I in a panic? Seeing Qian grow wings and fly, my heart hurts."
Pancakes, Fang Monan thought of the famous snack pancake fruit, she said on the basis of grandma's pancake fruit, "eggs, as well as fritters or crispy "fruit grate" composition, with noodle sauce, minced green onions, chili pepper (optional) as condiments, the taste is salty and fragrant. ”
"It's best to have breakfast as a satisfying and nutritious breakfast." Grandma snapped her fingers) As soon as she spoke, her face immediately changed. Just now, the sky was still clear, and in a moment, the dark clouds were thick, and the "click" lightning flashed with white light, like waving a sharp sword; Thunder rumbled, and it wanted to beat a drum in the air. All at once the heavens and the earth turned from day to night.
Fang Monan and Old Man Lin had just tasted tea and played chess under the grape trellis, watching the world change their faces, they hurriedly packed up and entered the house, and just walked in. Immediately after, the raindrops of soybeans fell one after another. The sound of "tick, tick, tick......" became louder and loud......er, and the pouring rain came, and the rain was very violent, and suddenly, the air seemed to be dancing like a group of demons, scattering thousands of threads from the gray clouds, and gradually sewing the sky and the earth together. The rain was still falling, and the rain pillars were shooting at the ground like rows of sharp arrows at an angle...... After an hour, the thunder faded and the rain faded. After a while, Grandpa Sun showed a bright smile again. Look at the vegetables and fruits in the field, under the rain washing, the green leaves are crystal shiny, like a thirsty child who has drunk enough milk, moist and comfortable
The barren mountains in the distance have been planted with fruit trees that have grown lush, and at this time, in the rain and fog, people enjoy watching flowers in the fog, and the air is filled with the aroma of melons and fruits and the fresh air of the soil. There are no vicissitudes of winter and depression of autumn, but instead of green, which represents life.
June's child's face, no matter how hurried he came and went, how quickly he changed, he thought about it, and finally made the most joyful groan. After enjoying the coolness and comfort of early summer, I always have to bear the changes of June, and such happiness and instant detachment are the real and ordinary life.
After several months of repairs, the farm is no longer the hastily it was at the beginning. The original ten bungalows were directly added to the floor. Of the six rooms on the first floor, Fang Monan simply renovated it, in fact, it was a fire kang on the plate, adding some furniture to the room, and installing more bookshelves. The second floor is for the people who stayed on the farm, mainly Fang Monan and they came here to escape the summer, grandma and mother stayed in the old house, and grandma couldn't leave her business.
The terrain here is slightly higher, away from the crowds, and the temperature is naturally a few degrees lower than the county seat. The most important thing is that I forgot how hot steamed buns must be in the summer. So Fang Monan, Old Man Lin, Auntie, and Mobei came to live on the farm. My aunt rode a bicycle to school, and when she got out of the farm, the terrain was flat and there were few people, and her fastest speed was only twenty minutes, and she was moving after the cold.
In front of the house, two grapes were removed from the space, which had already covered the shelves, and the sunlight was shining through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground was printed with spots of light the size of copper coins. The grapes were full, one was already the size of a peanut, and it was green. Under the shelves are stone tables and benches, and chess boards are carved on the stone tables. There is also a rocking chair of the old man next to the stone table, and the floor is paved with cobblestones. In front of the house and behind the house, some mosquito-proof flowers and plants were planted, and Fang Monan also made some mosquito coils for his father, so that at least mosquito coils would not be bitten by mosquitoes at night, and it was natural to rest. Dad took a lot of mosquito coils and distributed them to the road builders. Since the road was built, my father has been living and eating at the construction site. Fang Monan and their current leisurely days are enjoying themselves, and they are naturally not exchanged.
Mr. Lin suggested that his aunt decide to take the college entrance examination this year, because she has good academic performance and is older. She has to do a lot of exercises every day because of the college entrance examination, and the books she finished the sea of questions, the teacher took it to the whole class to do, and the results of this year's students generally had good grades, and more than one-third of them were admitted to the university.
The days flew quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was July, God gave face, and during the two days of my aunt's exam, it was rainy and rainy, and it was not too hot. Qi Qiushi also specially asked for leave to accompany the exam, but he didn't dare to stand outside the examination room, first, for fear of putting pressure on his aunt; Second, I was afraid that the impact would not be good, so I had to wait at home. Out of the examination room, the aunt breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over. Grandma didn't dare to ask how she did the exam when she saw her, so she looked at her with wings, but Fang Monan could see from her expression whether she should take the exam or not.
"Mom, you don't have to be so uneasy, I didn't take the test, it's very simple, and I've done similar exercises." Auntie said in a relaxed tone. "It's just that the composition doesn't make me feel at ease."
"Oh composition (because of the writing, the college entrance examination essay does not match the 83 year) please be wrong, don't skip words. Old Man Lin asked.
"The pros and cons of reform and opening up." Auntie's eyes were a little gloomy, but they recovered in the blink of an eye, anyway, they had already finished the exam, and it was useless to think so much, "It is estimated that the impact of what they write is much positive, while what I write is more negative." It's really uncomfortable to come against others. She was a little apprehensive, whether it was right not to do this, so she desperately looked for a back to make up for the uncertainty of the composition.
At that time, they discussed that what my aunt said was all positive influences, such as solving food and clothing, getting rich, and being in line with international standards, etc., but she was approved by Nannan, a little girl. It turns out that there are many negative effects. It is the side effect of reform and opening up, in fact, it is not the result of reform and opening up, but the side effect of Chinese history in the past two hundred years. Most people believe that what is good is learned from outside, and in the end it becomes good as long as it is outside. He also emphasized that they should not drop prices in front of foreign capital, they are businessmen, interests are important, not philanthropists. The huge market in China makes them salivate, and they want to come to it because they are afraid of the recurrence of the policy, and when they have observed enough, they will flock to it. It is necessary to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai and not sacrifice long-term development for some immediate interests, in short, a lot. Hearing this, my aunt nodded, so it's better not to reform.
As a result, Nannan said: That's not good, everything has two sides, such as opening the window to circulate the air, and flies will fly in; If it's completely closed, flies and fresh air won't get in. Here the "cons" are directly proportional to the "pros", and the fresh air and the flies are inseparable. According to the conventional way of thinking, it seems that there is only a trade-off between the pros and cons. And the windows had to be opened, so if you have to fight flies, you have to learn hard and increase your own skills. "So that's the case" Fang Mo Nan said, he said a lot at the time, and complained a lot, but now he can't remember clearly. "Auntie, don't worry, until the end, no one will bear the result, just wait happily"
The aunt spent two weeks in anxious waiting, and it was Mr. Lin who advanced her score through a relationship. actually passed the admission score line of Peking University, and English and mathematics are still full marks, but unfortunately my aunt was more conservative when she applied for the volunteer. Therefore, the first choice is a university in the province, and the second is Peking University. Anyway, there is a school to go to, and she is excited that she doesn't know what to do. The whole family was also happy, and only one person was a little lonely, and that was the future sister-in-law, because the farther the aunt went, the slimmer his chances became.
Although the notice has not yet been received, the continued enthusiasm of the courtyard is no less than the heat of the sun outside. Dad was the first to rush after hearing the news, and he was also excited, the big city has rich educational resources, and it is much easier to be admitted to university than in the small county town of this era. At this time, most counties and rural areas are still in the stage of literacy, and if there is a college student in the family, then it is not a top university, which is commendable.
During this period, college students were assigned to the package, and their hukou was also settled with the university. In the 80s, everyone could be assigned a good job after graduating from college students, and the people of that era were hardworking and simple. Even at this time, high school graduates and junior high school graduates can find jobs to earn money to support their families. In those days, it was easy to find a job, it was not difficult to make money, and only with a little economic acumen could you achieve a big career and become a business elite.
Scarcity is expensive, college students are still scarce resources, they are fragrant and sweet, and the work units are vying for it, which is like the future generations, college students are overflowing, and turtles are not popular. Unless you come from one of the world's top universities.
The neighbors who heard about it all came to congratulate their grandmother, but they didn't expect that the uncle's family, who had always rarely come to the door, actually came.
The eldest aunt has no other skills but is forgetful, so after coming in, she said congratulations. Stretched out his hand and patted his daughters, "Congratulations, Xiaoyan, you have been admitted to university, learn more from your sister-in-law, and give your mother admission to college, so that your mother can also be beautiful." "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling people, no matter how much my aunt hates them, she won't speak coldly to them on the big day, nodding at her, it is a greeting, now is the moment of the spring breeze, I don't care about those things about the rotten grains of the old sesame seeds, and I don't want to affect the good mood.
"Tongxi, Tongxi, don't you two also rise up and don't skip words. Auntie said nonchalty.
In the past few days, the uncle and his wife are mixed, the joy is that the two of them have been promoted in the textile factory, and the worry is that they have watched their mother-in-law and sister-in-law have a good time, and the promotion is also affected by them. This may be because the speaker is unintentional, but the listener has a heart.
Forget it, compared to those old ladies in logistics, Xiaoyan's words are better. Those people in logistics said even more ugly behind her back, laughing at her for her shallow eyelids, and now she wants to please her mother-in-law, I'm afraid it's not uncommon. is now going to please her mother-in-law, and they are all panicking for her. If it weren't for the factory leaders who valued the power of her mother-in-law's family, it would be their turn. Forget it, don't say much, it's worth it now, regardless of the reason, thanks to the fact that both of them have been promoted and their salaries are good, they can only be so comforted.
"Hehe......" They smiled awkwardly, the uncle gave the aunt 100 yuan in front of everyone, and after she saw it, she glanced at the sister-in-law beside him with a hint of mockery and said, "Have you asked the leader, if I don't have it, I won't dare to take it." ”
"Look at what Xiaoyan said, you were admitted to college, and your sister-in-law didn't give it, and the 100 yuan is a little bit of our mind." The smile on my aunt's face was as bright as a flower, and the pain in my heart was that this was four months' salary, and it was gone.
"At the end of the day, now our family is not short of money, and if we want to collect this money, we should be filial piety. I don't dare to take it, don't end up yelling around, saying that I have no conscience. "Auntie is very polite, and directly named her not to.
In the end, the uncle handed over the money to his grandmother, which is considered one, which is much better than taking it again.
Simply said some polite words, they left, as soon as they went out of the door, the uncle's face was gloomy, "Give me a home to study hard, especially you kid, don't be greedy for fun, you can't study, I want you to look good" She went on to say that going to college is the only way out of your predicament. She understands this, but she also needs the children to fight. However, with her high-pressure mother, in order to fight for a breath, she really forced her children to study, compared to her previous life, she was really admitted to college, but by the time her eldest cousin graduated from college, the world had changed.
Watching them disappear into the shadow wall, my aunt and grandma are very tired, and now the official notice has not been received, they are all so chaotic, how busy it will be when the time comes.
"Otherwise, we'll have to go out and have fun." Fang Monan said, let my aunt see the outside world, broaden her horizons, don't think that everything will be fine if she is admitted to university, there is still a long way to go. The most important thing is to bring the future sister-in-law with him and solve their future development path.
At the moment, everyone at home thinks it is feasible, but when she comes to grandma, she doesn't want to put down the steamed bun shop in her hand, and now it is developing rapidly, making the business better, and she doesn't want to delay making money because of play.
In the end, my mother said that she helped watch, there were not many things in the summer vacation bureau, and promised to take care of it, so she pulled her grandmother, who was still hesitant, on the train to the provincial capital. Picking up his sister-in-law, he was in a daz, but when he heard their intentions, he jumped up happily, and after asking for leave, he took a train south to Shanghai first.
