Chapter 123: Considerations for the Future
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, and not long after sending Fang Peinan away, Shui Yao is also ready to start school.
Because the farewell party at Fang's house last time was too lively, Shui Daquan also drank a lot with the strength of wine, and he vomited everywhere when he got home.
Although the matter of being admitted to high school is not a small matter in the entire production team, because with the Fang family's Zhuyu in front, it is always very troublesome to invite too many people over. In addition, there are a lot of bad relatives in the Shui family, Shui Yao and her father combined, so they simply didn't tell anyone and left quietly by themselves.
Recently, because he was in a hurry to go down to the mine to get out of the coal, Shui Daquan's time was full, even if he had already told Shui Yao that he couldn't send it in person when he left, but the day was really approaching, and the guilt on Shui Daquan's face became more and more obvious.
"Dad, don't you worry, I didn't go to the capital like Brother Pei Nan, anyway, it's in the county, it's very close to our home, and I can come back once a month, maybe I can go to the mine to see you when the time comes!"
Shui Daquan looked at Shui Yao, who was sorting out his bags, and sighed very emotionally, this day is like a shuttle, obviously when his daughter was born, the child was only a small lump, but now he can do everything by himself, like a little adult, and even the action of folding clothes is so skillful.
"Alas, as the old saying goes, the mother of a thousand miles is worried. Your mother left early, and I can't help you with anything, I wanted to send it myself. Look at the time when the kid from the Fang family left a few days ago, the entire big family was dispatched, bringing so many big bags and small bags, and then looking at you, I really felt more and more uncomfortable in my heart. ”
"However, don't worry, girl, when you are admitted to college, Dad will definitely see you on the train with his own eyes, and when he has the opportunity, he will go to school to see you!"
On the day of leaving, Shui Yao cooked early, and after taking care of everything, he went to the entrance of the village to wait for the car with a large package on his back and a half-meter-long snakeskin bag in his hand.
According to the notice sent by the school, although the student dormitory is arranged, the beds can be freely chosen. Shui Yao estimated that if he could get to school early and complete the admission procedures, it would be convenient to choose a bed against the window, which would be bright and spacious.
Most of the people in the car are familiar faces, usually everyone lives in the same place, and they don't see each other when they look up, so seeing that Shui Yao is carrying such a good thing, Uncle Zhao, who has always been warm-hearted, immediately got off the donkey cart and helped Shui Yao move the same things.
"Oh, Shui girl, are you going to school? Carrying so many things, why don't you ask the Daquan brothers to help you bring them? ”
Shui Yao put the luggage away, wiping the sweat from his forehead while explaining crisply.
"Thank you, uncle, I was lucky to meet you today! My dad was going to send me to the county seat, but he had a lot of work in the mines, so he couldn't take a break for the time being. Are you going into town? ”
Zhao Yongxian smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were distinct, and he looked very eye-catching, and happily pulled up with Shui Yao.
"It's not, my family is not a reading material, every day with a few young men on our production team playing around, no one is in shape, no matter how I persuade your aunt, I am noisy and don't go to school. No, I'm going to see if there are any masters with good cooking skills in the county, and I want to invite Genzi to teach Genzi a thing to make a living, so we can rest assured. ”
The root is the eldest son of Uncle Zhao's family, he is smart, and he looks like a quick hand.
"But...... I remember, the root seems to be still young, you and your aunt don't have to be in such a hurry, right? ”
When it came to Genzi's youngest son, Uncle Zhao was worried, so he helplessly spread his hands and shook his head gently.
"He's sixteen years old, and I think he's a year older than you. However, girl, you are good, you were directly admitted to the high school in the county, and then go to college, even if your father survives, he will not be able to enjoy happiness with you in the future! ”
"But look, the roots of my family are not worry-free at all, they are all so old and like a leather monkey, they are fooling around every day and not doing it properly, if he has half of you, I and your aunt don't have to run up and down for his business every day."
A few years ago, when the college entrance examination had not yet recovered, in their Xiangyun Town, most of the guys went to the production team every day to work in the fields, harvesting and grabbing seeds, cutting wheat, repairing canals, getting up early and greedy for darkness.
However, now the situation has changed, if you can be admitted to university, you will get rid of the fate of facing the loess with your back to the sky all your life, and jump out of the farm. In the future, I will be assigned to work in the provincial capital, and I will have an iron rice bowl, and I will not have to worry about it for the rest of my life.
Looking at Uncle Zhao's long sigh, Shui Yao didn't feel how bad things had become. After all, all roads lead to Rome, and in the future society, there are people from all walks of life, as long as they can do a good job in the business at hand, life will not be bad.
"Uncle Zhao, you're too worried. I think Brother Genzi is smart, maybe this time you can find him a good master, and when Brother Genzi learns the craft in the future, you and your aunt will live a good life, you see, the master of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel in the county takes more every month than my father, a worker! ”
Shui Yao's words were said to Zhao Yongxian's heart, and he slapped his thigh at the moment, and decided to help people directly to the end.
"Girl, aren't you going to the county bus station later? If you can trust Uncle, wait for this thing Uncle will bring it to you, and I will give you a ride! ”
In this regard, Shui Yao is naturally grateful. It's only March, and although the weather is a little warmer, I usually have a big quilt at home. In addition, some cotton was made at home before, and after Shui Yao put on a new quilt cover, the whole package looked very bloated, and it was really inconvenient for her to carry it alone.
However, Zhao Yongxian is a cheerful person, with his help, it is much more convenient along the way, the two of them took their luggage, and walked from the west end of the county to the east end of the county, and when Shui Yao arrived at the station, he saw that Zhao Yongxian was going to leave, so he immediately stopped the person, took out five cents from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Uncle Zhao, this is my little heart, you take it first, it's really thanks to you today."
Zhao Yongxian looked at it and smiled heartily, but he didn't take the five cents.
"Girl, why are you still polite to me? Isn't it just to help you carry things for a while, if you give me money again, then it's really out of sight, besides, I usually have a good relationship with the Daquan brothers, if I take this money today, then why am I embarrassed to find your dad to drink and eat again? ”
Seeing that there was still hesitation on Shui Yao's face, Zhao Yongxian directly dispelled his worries.
"Okay, okay, you can take the money yourself, the student baby is tight, and the uncle knows it in his heart. If you really don't want to go, next time your dad is free, go to your uncle's house and let him drink two more glasses! ”
Bidding farewell to Zhao Yongxian, Shui Yao bought a ticket and sat down. Although the county seat is not large, the school is in the easternmost part, and it takes 20 minutes to take a car.
In these days, even the people in the city are not rich, and the sky is that they can occasionally add more meat dishes than ordinary people on the dinner table, so the price is more than a star and a half lower than in the future, and a ticket is only three cents.
Now the whole county has not been developed, just out of the station, less than two minutes away, into the eyes of a wilderness. In these years, whether it is elementary school, junior high school or high school, the school is generally selected in the vicinity of the old Taoist temple or cemetery, which will be a little gloomy and lonely.
I'm afraid that many people are not willing to buy a house here.
However, feng shui takes turns, and in another decade or two, when this wasteland is developed and high-rise buildings are built, this is a proper school district house, and the price is casually doubled, it is dozens or hundreds of times, every inch of land is expensive, and the high price can discourage many people.
Shui Yao remembered that in her previous life, after being kicked out of the house by her scheming uncle, she lived a period of sleeping in the open air, not to mention finding a place to live, eating the last meal or not the next meal was light, and the money on her body couldn't even afford to rent a basement.
However, the days that I hadn't recalled for a long time made Shui Yao have an idea: with the situation of their family, if it weren't for the fact that the original owner had been learning some knowledge from the old intellectuals in the village before he was admitted to high school, and attending a few classes, I am afraid that Shui Daquan would have settled his home in the county seat a long time ago.
After all, now that she is gone, she doesn't need to work in the production team with her father's salary, in this case, why not take the opportunity to leave the old place in advance, so as not to let his wife or Shui Da's family go to the house to find trouble and fight the autumn breeze in three days.
In the future, if you have money in hand, when the situation allows, you will buy a few more pieces of land, on the one hand, you can live comfortably, and you can also use it as an investment.
Thinking about the huge profits in the real estate industry, Shui Yao's heart was excited~ thumping.
However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. Thinking that I have been here for more than two months, I have done a few transactions from beginning to end, and I have made a little money, not only was I almost caught by the guards, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and I also caught up with her father Shui Daquan who had an accident, and there were seventy or eighty yuan left in his hand.
Looking at the handfuls of gross tickets in his hand, Shui Yao was worried in his heart. Although the bold and the cowardly are starved to death these years, after all, before the situation has changed, every penny earned by oneself is a knife licking blood, and the risk is too great.
In addition, when I arrived at school, I guess I didn't have much chance to do a small business again, and my schoolwork every day was enough to drink a pot of my own food.
After thinking about it again and again, even if she was a little reluctant in her heart, Shui Yao still decided to put her business business on hold for the time being, distinguish the priorities, and think about it in the long run.
