28. Inquiry

"Oh that day! I had a strange dream the night before, so I didn't worry about my grandmother, so I ran back. Zhao Xiaoling's true and false explanations.

"What happened to your family, you didn't come during this time, and you said you were going to drop out of school as soon as you came?"

Did you know? That day, I ran back in time, my grandmother was poisoned, because the rescue was timely, she came back to life, at my request, the village reported the case, and the person who poisoned it was found out, you don't dare to imagine, it was my grandmother's daughter-in-law, she was now arrested and imprisoned, sentenced to 16 years, this matter is supposed to say that my grandma is a victim, but my grandma's son is a bastard, the daughter-in-law was arrested and imprisoned, the son and grandma also became enemies, my grandma and I can't stay in Zhaojiagou, I plan to leave Zhaojiagou with grandma, Come to the county seat to make a living. ”

"Zhao Xiaoling, you really have a big idea, and you are bold enough, how can you make a living when you come to the county seat to make a living?" The classmates were shocked and sympathetic to what happened to Zhao Xiaoling's family, but they did not dare to agree with Zhao Xiaoling's decision.

"Look for a job first, and if you can't find it, start a small business."

"Looking for a job? What is that easy? Trade? Aren't you afraid of being cut off the tail of capitalism? ”

"There is no such thing as cutting the tail of capitalism now."

"Yes, now that the state has liberalized its policies, it can be bought and sold."

The classmates were not very optimistic about Zhao Xiaoling's decision, thinking that she was unrealistic and crazy.

She is a child in the mountains with no power, no power and no background, and she wants to find a job in the county, which is a fool's dream, and doing business, doing these businesses in those days, is an unpopular thing, and it is almost the same as not doing a proper job.

Most of her classmates advised Zhao Xiaoling not to be impulsive or to insist on going to school, only going to school is the best way out.

Only Li Qing supported Zhao Xiaoling.

Li Qing said: "Don't worry about Xiaoling, she is so smart, how can she do unreliable things?" Maybe she will go into business and make a fortune, and she will be better off than any of us in the future! ”

I don't know, I think that Li Qing, as Zhao Xiaoling's good friend, is the person who knows her best, saying this is to understand her and support her, only Zhao Xiaoling understands, she just hopes that Zhao Xiaoling will give up her studies to toss, real life is so cruel, she doesn't believe that Zhao Xiaoling can toss any waves, she is waiting to see her jokes!

If it weren't for the things she had experienced in her previous life, Zhao Xiaoling wouldn't have seen anything wrong with Li Qing saying this at this moment. Today's Zhao Xiaoling has a thorough view of Li Qing.

When the classmates saw Zhao Xiaoling make up their minds, they could only wish her all her wishes come true.

Early the next morning, the classmates went to do morning exercises, Zhao Xiaoling washed up and wrapped her bedding quilt, put away daily necessities and books on the bed, and when the steel factory was arranged, she came back to pick it up.

Zhao Xiaoling went to the school cafeteria to buy two steamed buns to eat, and walked outside the school.

Because the time agreed with Wang Yuan was still early, Zhao Xiaoling slowly went to the county town alone.

Thirty years later, the streets of the entire county have been renovated, most of the houses have been demolished, and low, dilapidated houses have been built with more than four floors.

But now, there are old wooden bungalows everywhere, and the lively streets in the future are deserted at this time, and there are no shops with every inch of land and every inch of money, and every household is mainly for living.

At this time, the country had just opened up trading, and people in such small counties did not yet have the awareness to do business.

In the entire county, only department stores and only shopping malls sell department stores, a general company's public canteen sells food, and there is also a public barber room under the comprehensive company.

In addition to these, there is also a market for agricultural products and a movie theater to be lively.

Nanxian is an agricultural county, except for market days, where farmers trade agricultural products and livestock, and the streets are usually deserted.

In another two years, the state will vigorously advocate reform and opening up, and there will be more people doing business, and the streets will be lively.

If you have money, buy a house facing the street now, and it will be a shop in two years, and the price will rise like a rocket in a few years, so this is the best time to invest in buying a house.

Zhao Xiaoling walked slowly on the street alone, at this time, most of the buying and selling houses were passed on by word of mouth through acquaintances, because there were few people buying and selling, unlike all kinds of intermediary companies all over the street like in later generations, and again, there were also notices posted at the door for sale.

Zhao Xiaoling looked at the houses one by one, studying whether this area was better or that one, and recalling the various changes in these streets in the next thirty years, and her unusual behavior attracted the attention of an old lady.

She walked over to Zhao Xiaoling, and Zhao Xiaoling, who was just looking at the house, almost bumped into her. startled Zhao Xiaoling.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I almost hit you."

"Who are you? What is it for? What the hell are you doing here? "Aunt has a serious face.

Zhao Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, she knew this person, she was a person from the street office, her surname was Yu, and others called her Aunt Yu, but Zhao Xiaoling had a hard time in her last life, she was sad in her heart, because her husband was a gambler, many people looked down on her, she also had low self-esteem, and she didn't have much friendship with people outside, and this Aunt Yu too, she only knew that there was such a person as her, and she didn't know what kind of person she was.

Zhao Xiaoling looked around, at this time, people went to school, went to work, and farmers were also busy in the fields, she was a little unusual for people like her to wander around in other people's doors, and her aunt regarded her as a person with bad intentions.

Zhao Xiaoling said with a smile: "Auntie, I am a worker in the steel factory, my family is from Zhaojiagou, my grandmother is the only one in my family, I want to take her to live with me, my grandmother and I live in the dormitory together, so I want to buy a house, but I don't know who wants to sell the house, so come and see."

The tense muscles on Aunt Yu's face eased a little, and she looked Zhao Xiaoling up and down.

"You work in a steel mill? But I think you're still like a student. ”

"Yes, I used to study in No. 1 Middle School, and my family was in difficulty, so it was very difficult for me to go to school, so I had to go to work."

"You said it easily, because the family can't afford to study, so you go to work, or in a good unit like a steel plant, and you may not be able to find a good unit like a steel plant after graduating from high school." Aunt Yu obviously didn't believe it.

"I was an orphan, and my only relative grandmother was not my own grandmother, she adopted me, so the government took care of me and let me go to work in the steel factory."
