Chapter 4: Young You (2)
In the 90s, the wave of layoffs from state-owned enterprises came all at once.
Despite the rumors and rumors in the early stage, there are still many working-class people who are skeptical and choose not to move.
Until it actually happened, most people were disrupted and panicked because they were unprepared.
But what can you prepare?
If you lose your iron job and don't have a skill, what should you do?
At that time, every laid-off employee could only get a "buyout money" of no more or less.
Those who have academic qualifications, culture, resources, and business achievements have been transferred to the national system as soon as possible, such as telecommunications bureaus, post offices, water conservancy bureaus, transportation bureaus, and so on.
Pioneers with business acumen dare to use this money to pan for gold, ups and downs, and their own era will record their masterpieces.
There are also those who bother to plan, husband and wife work together, work hard to run a small business, open a small shop to sell early, or take a store to sell something, without the wind and waves of business, and can support themselves and try to support their families.
Otherwise, how can you say whether the marriage is long-lasting and whether the career can be bigger, it depends on who is in charge?
Mother Hua was very panicked and cautious, and she didn't have any ideas and didn't dare to invest them casually.
She refused Hua's father's request to take the money to start a business with her colleagues, and insisted that she didn't need a penny to save.
It stands to reason that if Daddy Hua dares to agree with his choice, he can also give it a go.
But at this time, the weakness and incompetence hidden in Daddy Hua's bones began to sharpen.
He didn't dare to use this almost life-saving money to do anything that was empty.
He needs to spend his mother's strong refusal to reassure his heart.
Since this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, how else can it work?
Fortunately, Hua's mother's factory only laid off workers, and it was not completely closed down for the time being, and some productivity was needed, so Hua's mother seized this opportunity to drag a qualification to work, and barely had an income to live.
Daddy Hua simply faded away from the intellectual side he pretended to be before he got married, revealing his brute strength and true colors, and turned to work as a temporary worker to move bricks and earn coolies in search of money-making opportunities.
Compared with the wealth of the past, it can barely be described as "the middle of the family", and the temper of poor and lowly couples is much bigger, and they often quarrel, annoy, and resentment for triviality.
Mom's mouth is very powerful, and there is no fault in hurting people, and Dad is not far behind when he raises the bar.
The only thing that comforted and made them proud was that at least they had a good daughter whom everyone praised.
Look, what kind of award did the daughter get back; Listen, who's preaching to their daughter again?
The little person has really become the biggest hope for this family.
Maybe, a phoenix can really fly out of the chicken coop,
But no one told Hua Lin what these things stood for.
Why does my mother lose her temper if she wants to go to the park to play?
Why did Dad become able to eat a lot of meals while Mom chattered a lot;
At that time, the Children's Palace was raised, and students cultivated hobbies, and Hua Lin didn't know such a new world.
Just before performing on behalf of the school, he was arranged by the school to learn to sing under the tutelage of the music teacher of the Children's Palace.
It was like a frog jumping out of the bottom of the well and seeing the wildflowers blooming by the well.
She learned that the so-called classroom is not only about Chinese and mathematics; There are also special dances, piano playing, calligraphy, painting, etc.
Of course, Hua Lone's mother refused, such a high cost was not in her consideration in the first place.
Besides, what's the use of learning this?
Only by learning mathematics, physics and chemistry can you go all over the world without fear.
On days when she doesn't go to class, Hua Lin is locked up at home and can't go out, and her only fun is to practice writing over and over again.
Dad suggested that she teach herself calligraphy, at least self-cultivation, but her mother thought that it was expensive to buy paper and ink.
In the past, because my father was reluctant to spend money on books, he gave Hua Lin a hand-copied extracurricular exercise book, but slowly he didn't even have a hand-copied workbook.
Then let's read, Hua Lin likes to read.
However, Hua Lone, who is praised for "liking to read", actually didn't see many books, because books also cost money to buy.
The Chinese textbooks that are turned over and over and the extracurricular reading materials that the school subscribes to are all very limited content.
So Bai Xingyi has books at home, and Hua Lin often asks him to borrow them, and Bai Xingyi is happy to borrow them.
Bai Xingyi's parents are in business, and they never treat their only son badly anyway.
At the very least, isn't it just to buy something and use something good? Why not.
Bai Xingyi is a good-looking and well-behaved child, except for a little black, and his whole body is as clean as a little prince.
The surname is white, so the nickname in the class is "Little Baibai".
His grades are above average, not as stubborn, silent or pedantic as other boys,
I won't cause trouble, I won't fight, I won't study.
His naughtiness is mixed with sunshine, which makes people reluctant to really lose their temper with him.
He likes to pull the hair of the flower on the front table,
Kick the lonely stool,
Deliberately throwing his books and utensils on the ground in front of the table,
Spoiled and shouted to help pick it up.
He liked to see Hua Lin turn around and glare at him slightly, pretending to be angry.
This kind of flower loneliness in his eyes is so cute, he just wants the flower loneliness to pay attention to him.
If Hua Lin talked to the classmates in front of him a little more and snubbed him, he would still be a little angry.
kicked the stool, and refused to say the reason, which made the flower lonely inexplicable.
Bai Xingyi couldn't find any excuse for his actions, he felt that he was close to Hua Lone, so close that he would want to drink the water in her cup when he was thirsty.
With the first time, there is a second time, and the rest is even more irrelevant.
So much so that Hua Lin doesn't drink much water by herself, and she always thinks of Bai Xingyi in the back seat, maybe when she is thirsty again.
After the two parents held a parent-teacher conference, they became familiar with each other, especially when his grandmother met Hua Lone's mother when she was shopping for food, and his grandmother always praised Hua Lone for being a very good child, which was the same as an extra layer of relationship in his understanding.
When he was young, he didn't know why his father hadn't heard of it for a long time, and he had opened a small taxi to run the order.
It was when he and his parents went to the street to take a taxi home, and met his father, and Bai Xingyi was very kind at that time, Zhang Luo wanted to get into her father's car to take care of her father's business.
This incident moved Dad Hua very much when he went home to recount it, and said several times that the boy was very good.
Sometimes he has nothing to say, so he will call Hua Lin to come to school on weekends to learn to ride a bicycle.
However, Hua Lian's home is not far from the school, and she walks to school, does not need to ride a bicycle, and does not have her own bicycle.
He couldn't help but tell Hua Lin what was on his mind, and Hua Lin was like an interpreting flower.
This includes his little opinion about his parents.
He told Hua Lin that "Yi" means "joy", but he felt that his parents were busy with business more often than not, and he didn't care whether he was happy or not, and he didn't want to go to the Children's Palace on weekends to attend any classes.
Lonely is naturally a bit empathetic, which makes her particularly empathetic.
Hua Lin comforted her, "I know from this hearing that your parents hurt you so much, and you are the little star that makes them happy." ”
This made him feel that before he could say it, she guessed the true meaning of her parents' name.
"What do they do to make them happy, they don't care if I am happy or not."
"And who do you want to make happy?"
"You." The little star said very seriously.
In this way, the circle of boys spread.
In addition, Bai Xingyi and Ge Taisheng are good brothers, and Ge Taisheng will privately joke that he and Hua Lin are a "couple".
What is a pair that is not a pair, is it a very special relationship? Thinking of this layer of white stars, I will accept it with peace of mind.
Then every time he selects an excellent title, as long as he votes democratically, Bai Xingyi thinks that Hua Lin is his own person, not Ge Taisheng, and he will vote for Hua Lin as a matter of course.
Ge Taisheng lost very badly.
