Chapter 8: Going Out

That night, Xia Solstice went to bed early, carefully inserted the door, and entered his own space.

There is an exquisite courtyard in the space, and although the house is simple, it was built by Xia Zhi himself bit by bit.

There was a large bed in the room, lying on it as if it had fallen into cotton, Xia Zhi sighed with satisfaction, gradually closed his eyes, and had a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Xia Zhi got up early, but at 6 o'clock in the morning, Xia Zhi thought that she was the first to get up in the Xia family, but she didn't expect to see Xia Jianye and Yang Xinyi sitting at the dining table and talking in the hall on the first floor.

Xia Jianye was still holding a newspaper in his hand, and when he heard the sound, he looked at Xia Zhi in unison.

Xia Zhi had a smile on his face and shouted at Xia Jianye, "Dad, good morning!" ”

Then he looked at Yang Xinyi and said, "Auntie, good morning!" ”

Yang Xinyi looked tired, her eyes were blue, she was on night duty last night, she had just gone home, and was about to go to bed, when she met Xia Jianye, who had just gone home, Yang Xinyi went directly to the kitchen to make breakfast for Xia Jianye and the children of the Xia family.

Xia Jianye saw Xia Solstice, nodded with satisfaction, he is a soldier, he likes hard-working children, seeing Xia Zhi get up so early, he has a better impression of Xia Zhi, and beckoned, "Come and eat!" ”

Xia Zhi walked over with a smile and sat next to Xia Jianye, Xia Jianye asked Xia Zhi, "Did you sleep well yesterday?" ”

When Yang Xinyi heard this, she immediately looked at Xia Solstice nervously, no one knew better than her how cold it was at night in the utility room.

Xia Zhi pursed his lips and smiled, "It's okay." ”

Yang Xinyi was temporarily relieved to see that Xia Zhi did not complain, and her gaze at Xia Zhi was a little more satisfied, and she secretly said in her heart, "It's quite sensible, I didn't talk nonsense." ”

Xia Jianye said to Xia Zhi, "What are your plans in the future?" Do you want to join the army? ”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "I want to find a job in a factory near the capital." ”

As soon as Xia Zhi's words came out, Xia Jianye didn't say anything, Yang Xinyi couldn't help but say, "The factory needs a diploma to recruit workers!" ”

Yang Xinyi's slightly contemptuous eyes were clearly saying, do you have a diploma?

Xia Jianye glared at Yang Xinyi dissatisfiedly, and then said with a slightly proud tone, "Xia Zhi is a college student, although he didn't graduate, he is also a college student!" ”

It is also the first college student of their old Xia family!

Yang Xinyi's face suddenly showed a stunned look, she looked at Xia Zhi in disbelief, looked up and down, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't believe that Xia Zhi was a college student, and it was difficult to speak, "You, when will you be admitted to college?" Where did you go to college? ”

Xia Zhi's expression remained the same, and he was admitted to the provincial university two years ago, majoring in foreign languages.

Yang Xinyi's expression was complicated, she thought that Xia Zhi was a girl from the countryside, but she didn't expect this girl to be beautiful, she was still a college student, which made Yang Xinyi's pride suddenly wilt like a frosted eggplant.

Xia Jianye looked at his white and tender daughter and said, "It's okay, do you have a factory you want to go to?" ”

Xia Zhi shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

Xia Jianye: "Dad, help you ask." ”

Xia Zhi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”

After all, at this time in Beijing, there are many high school and junior high school graduates, and if they can't find a job in the factory, they have to go to the mountains and go to the countryside to be educated youth, so this quota is a lot of people who want to get one.

Xia Zhi is not afraid of competition, after all, she is also a college student, although she has not graduated yet.

But the number of places is too small, and the news is blocked at this time, if you don't even know the exam time, how can you compete in the exam?

After Yang Xinyi finished eating, she went into the room to rest, Xia Jianye still had something to do, so she left in a hurry after eating.

Xia Solstice was fine, so he took a book and sat quietly in the hall reading it.

It's a little cold in the living room, and Xia Zhi is dressed very thickly, and he is wearing thermal underwear inside, but he doesn't feel very cold.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xia Ling's three sisters and brothers came down from upstairs with a look of not waking up, rubbing their eyes with one hand and touching their stomachs with the other, thinking that they were awake hungry.

Seeing Xia Zhi sitting in the hall, Xia Ling snorted lightly, didn't speak, and went to wash.

Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo politely called out sister, Xia Zhi smiled at them and said, "The food is hot in the pot, go wash up!" ”

Xia Aiguo, the two brothers of Xia Aiguo answered, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Breakfast is very simple, Sanhe noodles steamed buns, a plate of radish pickles, plus a bowl of corn porridge, without half of the oil and water.

The three children are also used to it, and they finished eating in a few clicks, Xia Aiguo and Xia Aiguo finished eating, put the chopsticks aside, pushed the bowl, stood up and ran out, and said: Let's go out to play.

Xia Ling rolled her eyes and didn't care, after eating, she picked up her small army-green satchel and walked out.

When I walked to the hall and saw Xia Zhi, my eyes rolled and I said, "Sister, you can go play with me!" You haven't been to Beijing, I'll show you around! ”

Xia Zhi glanced at Xia Ling, knowing that Xia Ling didn't like her, and it was impossible to kindly invite herself to play, so she said, "You go, I won't go." ”

Xia Ling pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and went out with her head held high.

After Xia Ling left, Xia Zhi sat in the living room, and felt that she had nothing to do, so she stood up and walked into her room, and also took out a small army green satchel, although she felt that this army green satchel really looked a little dirty, but in this era, this is a very fashionable thing.

Xia Zhi packed up and went out, went out, and met a lot of people staring at her in the compound, Xia Zhi didn't know them, so he didn't see them, and went out directly.

The air in the capital is dry and cold in winter, there is no industrial pollution at this time, looking at the distant sky, but it also gives people a majestic beauty, at this time the ten years of turmoil have just begun.

In these ten years, I don't know how many good things have been destroyed, Xia Zhi thought about it, asked people, got on the bus, and went to the scrap recycling station.

The recycling station is very large, surrounded by an iron fence, through which you can clearly see the mountains of waste inside.

The doorkeeper is a middle-aged eldest sister, there is a stove in the house, the eldest sister is knitting a sweater, Xia Zhi walked over, knocked on the glass window with a bright smile, the eldest sister opened the glass window, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

Xia Zhi smiled, "Hello eldest sister, my mother asked me to come here to find some scrap and go back to make a fire." ”

Xia Zhi just casually found an excuse, but he didn't expect the eldest sister to wave her hand impatiently, "Go, go." ”

With a 'bang', the glass window closed.

Xia Zhi didn't expect that this eldest sister didn't even make a single inquiry, thinking that this kind of thing should not be the first time that the eldest sister has encountered it.
