08. The future is uncertain
Regarding the upgrading of academic qualifications, Gu's mother obviously lacks interest and expresses great distrust of this.
This made the high-spirited Gu Yifang, immediately deflated after stepping into the house. She explained in vain and palely that the self-study exam was what it was, how to read it, and that the academic qualifications of the self-study exam were recognized by the state, but obviously Gu's mother didn't listen to it much.
After dinner, Aunt Gu called, Gu's mother told her own sister about Gu Yifang's self-study academic qualifications, the two turned on the hands-free, Gu Yifang clearly heard Aunt Gu say in his utility room, "Reading is very expensive, Mengmeng is also studying at the same time as work now, it costs 10,000 yuan a year, how can it be only 1,000 yuan." One party can't be mistaken, she's still young, and it's not necessarily that she was cheated by someone, oh, now this class outside cheats a lot of money, and one of us dancing told me about it the day before yesterday. ”
Gu Yifang bit his lip and listened.
Aunt Gu said Meng Meng, named Qin Yumeng, is the daughter born to Aunt Gu and her ex-husband, that is, Gu Yifang's cousin, Gu Yifang has been short of food and clothing since she was a child, and her clothes are all dependent on Sun Yumeng to help her after she wears them.
Qin Yumeng is three years older than Gu Yifang, and three years ago, after graduating from secondary school, he found a stable and idle income under the arrangement of Aunt Gu. It's just that if you want to become a regular and keep this iron job bowl, you must have a certain academic degree, so Qin Yumeng also went to an adult college in his spare time, which is also a nationally recognized academic qualification, but he needs to be attached to his student status and regularly participate in lectures before he can take the exam, so the cost is relatively large.
But Gu Yifang didn't know how to explain the difference between the two to Gu's mother, not to mention that Gu's mother completely trusted Aunt Gu, and the reason why she turned on the hands-free was because she had a meaning of talking about Gu Yifang through Aunt Gu's mouth.
After Aunt Gu finished talking about this matter, the topic changed and said: "Your family Fang Fang is making money now, and it's not like our family Mengmeng wants to study, it must be idle, at such a good age, it should be the person to talk to, let me tell you, I happened to talk to my old classmate on the phone just now......
When Aunt Gu said this, Mother Gu quickly picked up the microphone, and after listening to it for a long time, she hesitated: "Is it still early?" ”
Gu Yifang was not in the mood to listen any longer, she went downstairs from the north window of the utility room It was pitch black, the sky was already dark, and now it was late, it should not be suitable to call Zhang Jiawei, think about it, wait for tomorrow, but I can't sleep a little at night.
The next day, with the fatigue of lack of sleep and the worry about the uncertain future, Gu Yifang finally stayed up until the end of work, and when she entered the community, she immediately ran to the public phone of the commissary and called Zhang Jiawei's mobile phone. ”
Gu Fang said: "I heard my aunt say that there are three thousand five. ”
Zhang Jiawei sneered: "Where will there be three thousand five in that kind of unit, I think so, one party, you told your mother, I told you about the self-study test, your mother, I prefer to listen to others, if, you said that Zhang Jiawei told you, Guanghua University has such an exam, will your mother feel more credible?" ”
Gu Fang nodded and said, "Well, it should be." ”
Zhang Jiawei continued: "Or, you ask your little uncle to help you speak. ”
"Still don't." Regarding this plan, Gu Fang immediately denied it, "Auntie will think I'm provoking." ”
Zhang Jiawei was a little anxious, "Your aunt is so weird, she doesn't want to see you, and she doesn't allow your uncle to be nice to you?" ”
When it comes to family affairs, Gu Yifang is really a mess, Uncle Gu was originally the most promising in the family, and his education and unit are also the best in the family, but because of a marriage change, it was completely ruined.
Frustrated, he began to stay on duty without pay at the age of thirty-five, and now his grandmother and aunt are actively running the relationship, wanting to retire Uncle Gu from illness. Uncle Gu, who is idle at home, is mahjong every day, except for the meager and unstable income on the mahjong table, he relies on his grandmother and aunt to sponsor him.
took Aunt Gu's money, but Uncle Gu was the most distressed Gu Fang, who had no father since he was a child, so sometimes he would stuff the money to Gu Fangfang, and after a long time, after Aunt Gu knew about it, she made a fuss.
Since then, Uncle Gu didn't dare to give Gu Fang money, but if Uncle Gu was a little protective of Gu Fang, Aunt Gu would definitely cry and grab the ground, making the whole family uneasy, Uncle Gu was her only rescuer in this family, but he couldn't save her anymore.
Of course, she can go and talk to her grandmother, but when her grandmother is old, I am afraid that she can't figure out the difference between adult education and self-study exams, and most importantly, if this matter makes Aunt Gu unhappy again, I am afraid that it will make a big fuss again.
"Is it so difficult to do a hundred dollars?" Zhang Jiawei said in the end, and said with a lot of pride: "One party, I gave it to you." ”
"It's all my fault." Gu Fang sighed, and said with great difficulty, "I...... Shouldn't...... Turn over all the money. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiawei held the phone and nodded, "Yes, in fact, I also thought about persuading you in this matter, but I don't know how to speak, one side, it's not me who said, your mother is very good, but it's too unreliable, I know you want to make your mother happy, but you have to keep your own hand." ”
Gu Fang smiled bitterly: "I think my mother is unreliable, she still thinks I'm unreliable, I can't." ”
Zhang Jiawei said: "Why can't you, your boss recognizes you so much and gives you a raise...... Ay? Raise?! Referring to Gu Yifang's previous salary increase, Zhang Jiawei suddenly had an idea and said: "You can also tell your mother that you can get a salary increase if you have a degree, and she will definitely be tempted." ”
Listening to Zhang Jiawei's point, Gu Yifang suddenly felt enlightened, yes, with Zhang Jiawei to endorse, and then with a high degree of education, you can get a salary increase, and it is convenient to change jobs, Gu's mother will definitely be tempted.
Zhang Jiawei said: "It's decided, anyway, the worst result is that I borrow your money." ”
"No, I'm too much trouble for you, Jiawei, I can't always borrow from you." Working so hard to seize this job, I just don't want to borrow any more money, Gu Fang thought about it, and said in a low voice: "I'm thinking, ...... in the future" If I increase my salary, I won't tell my mother, I take the ......, I do it...... Isn't it...... Unfilial. ”
Zhang Jiawei said: "My dad said, the situation in everyone's family is different, housework cannot be generalized, you don't give your mother a penny, but the part of the salary increase is not given to her, I think like your family, you should be like this, I support you." ”
Hearing Zhang Jiawei say this, Gu Yifang breathed a sigh of relief, she called Jiawei, and heard someone on the other end of the phone calling Zhang Jiawei to go to the canteen to eat, Gu Yifang had to say: "Forget it, you go to eat." ”
Zhang Jiawei said: "Okay, I'll go to dinner, so I'll call you from the public phone for a while, at seven o'clock, you wait for me at the commissary at seven o'clock, and we'll talk for a while." ”
"Well, okay, bye-bye." Gu Yifang hung up the phone, thinking to himself, fortunately, there is still Zhang Jiawei in this world.
