Chapter 8 Choosing 'Food Seeds'
The spirit was extremely excited, and he thought about it late at night, and the next day Gong Yaming didn't yawn until 10:20 and opened his eyes again and again, thinking in a daze, it seemed that there were still very important things to do today.
After 2 or 30 seconds of stunned thought, he finally remembered the adventures he had encountered yesterday, but although he was awake, a night's sleep seemed to make everything feel like a dream.
Patting his cheek vigorously, Gong Yaming muttered to himself and said self-deprecatingly: "I was a little dazed when I woke up early in the morning, it seems that I haven't adapted yet, and I am about to become an outstanding person." ”
After getting up, thinking that today was Saturday, and he had plans to travel far away, Gong Yaming put on neat shorts and shorts and walked out of his bedroom.
In the living room, her mother Xun Meijing was sitting on the sofa with her sister Gong Yamei, chatting about something.
Seeing Gong Yaming come out, Xun Meijing said with some distress: "Son, you woke up, you studied late yesterday, there is breakfast that your mother made for you in the kitchen, go and eat." ”
Gong Yaming's mother, Xun Meijing, is a middle-aged woman who is not tall, has a round face, and her facial features are very shrewd.
This capable professional woman has always been known for her ability in the evaluation of friends and colleagues, and the only thing she feels confused about is that she has a very different evaluation of her second son who looks similar to herself, and stubbornly believes that her judgment of her son is correct.
It is precisely this obvious preference that makes Gong Yamei, who is much better than her second brother, very unbalanced in her heart, so that Ping said that as long as she has the opportunity, she will target Gong Yaming everywhere.
However, in front of her mother, Gong Yamei would not say more about Gong Yaming, because countless lessons had taught her, and doing so could only backfire in the end.
Hearing his mother's words, Gong Yaming yawned and spoke; "Mom, I'm not hungry, but you came back so late last night, what are you doing this morning so early, do you have to work overtime today?"
"I came back before 12 o'clock last night, I slept well, and I wasn't tired at all," the second son's concern made Xun Meijing reply warmly: "This morning at home, I will cook a meal for you for the day, and go back to the 'Federation' in the afternoon to look at the appeal documents."
Although the mine disaster was not serious, there were 11 dead and injured people, and the key to whether or not we could help them get the maximum compensation was in the past two or three days. ”
"'Red Yellow Star' has often had mining disasters in the past two years, and I think the original mine site is not suitable for mining at all.
By the way, Mom, our PE exams have been completed, and I have passed all of them.
Now that the 'upper secondary school' classes are all over, the school has allowed us to review freely.
I heard from a few students with good grades that they planned to go to a cram center in 'Qingji City' to do the simulated reinforcement exercises of the 'promotion exam', and I wanted to go together, do you say okay? ”
Deciding to follow the hidden advice of Lu Dada and not tell his parents the truth, Gong Yaming took advantage of his father's absence, but with a flash of thought, he told a lie, which was enough to fulfill his wish to go to 'Qingji City'.
Xun Meijing had been worried about her obese second son, who could not complete the physical education assessment because of her weight, and successfully completed all the courses of the 'senior high school' and obtained the qualification for the 'promotion examination'.
At this time, when she heard the good news that Gong Yaming's results were qualified, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and of course she would not refute Gong Yaming's request for "advancement" immediately afterward.
"Really, son, it's really good that you have passed the sports," Xun Meijing happily stood up from the sofa, ran to Gong Yaming's side in two steps, hugged the second son, and said happily: "There is no problem at all to participate in the 'promotion exam' this time."
The 'Qingji City' cram school you mentioned, as long as you think it is beneficial to your 'promotion exam', then participate, how much money you say, your mother will give it to you. ”
"The tuition fee is about 1,000 yuan, it takes about a week, and my classmates and I can live together in 'Qingji City', and the daily accommodation and living expenses are 75 yuan, plus the travel fee is 1,600 yuan in total." Gong Yaming said with the math.
Xun Meijing took out her wallet from her pocket, left only a few dozen yuan, counted out 2,500 yuan, handed it to Gong Yaming and said, "Son, my mother just took out the vegetable money for half a month from the bank, and I gave it to you."
You are fat, you will snore when you sleep, and you will be in the same room with others, which will not only affect your classmates, but also you will not be able to sleep well, so it is better to live in a single room. ”
Xun Meijing, as a legal consultant of the Mining Workers' Rights Department of the Shanteng City 'Miners' Federation', has an income of more than average in the entire 'Shanteng City', but it is only 3,650 yuan per month.
At this time, I heard Gong Yaming say that she wanted to tutor, and even if he went with those classmates, she didn't ask, and gave 2,500 yuan, which shows her doting on her second son.
took his mother's money and put it in his shorts pocket, Gong Yaming didn't look at his sister's angry eyes on the side, and said to his mother: "Mom, when you see Dad coming home, tell him about my tutoring."
After I finished eating, I took the 'magnetic rail car' to 'Qingji City'. Then he turned and went into the kitchen to enjoy his late breakfast.
Half an hour later, Gong Yaming walked out of the house with a backpack and a few changes of clothes packed by his mother, but instead of taking the 'city subway' to the 'magnetic rail station', he went straight to the largest chain merchandise store in Shanteng City, 'Times Shopping'.
The bustling crowd shuttles back and forth in the ten-story 'store' covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters, and the air is covered with all kinds of advertising 'three-dimensional projections', and the ears are almost deaf by the noise.
When you come to this environment, you can clearly understand how huge the population pressure of society is when the average life expectancy reaches 150 years old, unless the mutated virus and the disease can hardly threaten human life.
After struggling to find a shopping guide, Gong Yaming finally asked where he was selling 'food seeds'.
Standing on the 'escalator' and going up to the 10th floor, the environment suddenly becomes much cleaner and more elegant.
Gong Yaming found that the 10th floor of the 'Times Purchase', which specializes in selling 'transcendent' special supplies, as well as luxury and valuables, compared with the other 9 floors, the flow of people is obviously sparse by seven or eighty.
Browsing through the strange goods that I had almost never seen before, I walked around at Gong Yaming and came to a stall with many 'pocket-sized' potted plants and huge colorful paintings.
Looking at the empty stall, a young shopping guide wearing ** and revealing a snow-white belly, Gong Yaming felt that blood suddenly rushed to his face.
After repeatedly looking at the description of the huge color painting, and making sure that it was correct, he coughed and asked, "Excuse me, miss, is this a stall that sells 'food seeds' used by 'stand-ins'?" ”
**, The fair-skinned sales lady glanced at Gong Yaming with a surprised expression and replied, "Yes, sir, we are here at the stall that sells 'food seeds'.
These potted plants are all pocket-sized 'food seeds' that have been specially processed and grown, and you can intuitively feel the 'ability and quality' of these 'food seeds'.
The illustrative color painting next to the bonsai is a brief description of the different 'food seeds', including the growing environment, cultivation methods, and other important points. ”
Hearing this, Gong Yaming nodded with a red face, ignored the shopping guide, and began to carefully observe these 'potted plants' in front of him, and carefully read the knowledge on the color paintings.
"Shanteng City" is only a "fifth-level city", of course, there will be no top-quality 'food seeds' in the merchandise store, but even so, for Gong Yaming, these can only be regarded as ordinary 'food seeds', which is also an eye-opener for him, and of course, the price makes him even more frightened.
