Chapter 175 - Commodity Sleeping Pillow [4.2K]
After a short trip to Hanning, it was not clear which school to go to.
Where to study in high school, for a student like Yi Yang, is the first choice that determines fate, and it needs to be seriously considered.
At present, it seems that there is no hope for Hanning No. 1 Middle School.
Although, Hanning No. 1 Middle School also has the opportunity to make up the record...... It is those students who are admitted, but do not plan to study, their places will be vacant, and the students who will be behind will be replaced in turn.
But on the one hand, Hanning No. 1 Middle School is almost the ceiling of Jiangnan High School, and Yi Yang can't think of what kind of better choice would make them make such a choice if they were admitted to No. 1 Middle School and didn't go to school.
There won't be many such students.
On the other hand, although it seems that there is only a score difference of about ten points, there are many of them tied, and there are more than a dozen people in the middle.
Ignoring Hanning No. 1 Middle School, there are three general directions to consider.
The first option is other schools in Hanning City.
If he continues to choose Hanning City, Yiyang does not plan to consider other schools except for the two schools that have passed the independent entrance examination.
The advantage of choosing those two high schools is that although the learning environment is a little worse than that of No. 1 High School, as one of the best high schools in the provincial capital, the resources you can enjoy are also top-notch. At the same time, as private schools, the students in these two schools tend to have good family conditions or IQs.
Then, the probability of coming into contact with excellent people is also very high, and from a slightly utilitarian point of view, you can slowly cultivate your own network from here......
After junior high school, the kind of green years when you don't think about anything, some utilitarian things are about to start thinking, and peers don't realize it, but for Yi Yang, who is an adult, considering interests is almost an instinctive way of thinking.
Of course, networking and true friends are not in conflict.
And when choosing a high school in Hanning, the disadvantages are also obvious...... Tuition.
At present, his savings are barely enough to pay for one year's tuition.
Although my grandmother still had a little savings, it was not enough for him to afford three years of tuition.
It was a difficulty that he could not ignore.
A penny is difficult for heroes, Yi Yang has not been so eager for money before, he has always focused all his attention on studying, and he has never been troubled by lack of money...... There really isn't much to spend money on in junior high school.
For a long time, I didn't think seriously about this issue.
There is nothing wrong with thinking, reading, exercising, reading, and physique, and constantly improving your horizons, to a certain extent, you will have anything.
However, learning does not exist in isolation, and simply put, it cannot be separated from the economic foundation.
Luo Bing concluded that academic performance depends on three factors, IQ, diligence, and environment. Except for the extreme IQ that can ignore the other two factors, most people's grades are affected by three factors.
If you have one of these factors and do it to the extreme, you will probably be able to go to an undergraduate.
Two extremes, you can go to a key university.
And to get into the top universities in China, you must either be at the first-class level in all three or have a super-first-class IQ.
Only when people know themselves can they not be confused.
In the contact and comparison with a person like Luo Bing, who was born with superior intelligence, Yi Yang also gradually realized where his upper limit was.
The IQ is not low, but it is definitely not the kind of super-first-class IQ that can ignore the learning environment and diligence.
Diligence is not lacking.
It's kind of accounting for two.
With the current IQ and diligence, if you can study in a high school with a good environment, you will have the opportunity to impact some prestigious schools.
Therefore, the learning environment is very important, which is why he still struggles with the cost of staying in Hanning.
I really want to stay here and study.
Money.
This is paradoxical.
Thinking about how to make money now is definitely "not doing a good job", but if there is no money, it will affect his study.
In addition to Hanning's high school, the next two choices are high school in Heyang City, and staying in Qinghe County to study locally.
Among them, Qinghe County No. 1 Middle School will naturally not consider it. Although Qinghe County No. 1 Middle School has not produced students from famous schools, the kind of students who are tested purely by their own IQ are not universal.
In other words, people can go to prestigious schools anywhere. It's not Qinghe Middle School that makes them, it's they who make Qinghe Middle School.
Yi Yang is not such a genius.
Of course, studying in Qinghe County is not completely without benefits. With his achievements, he is definitely a top student in the first echelon of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School, and all the educational resources of studying here will definitely be inclined to him.
Low tuition, close to home, and able to take care of grandma.
During the college entrance examination, you can also enjoy local education awards, with a reward of 50,000 yuan and a reward of 200,000 yuan from a famous school in Qingbei!
Think again.
The third choice is also the one that Yiyang is currently preferencing...... Go to Heyang City to study.
Ha Duong is the second largest city in Jiangnan Province, and its size is a little worse than that of Hanning City, but it is not much different. And in terms of education, the high schools in Heyang City are also strong...... If you look at the results alone, occasionally in some years, the college entrance examination results of Heyang City are not inferior to Hanning City.
But......
Compared with the high schools in Hanning City, Heyang City has a place that is not very good in Yiyang's opinion......
The learning atmosphere in Heyang is notoriously oppressive.
The learning atmosphere in Hanning City is generally similar to the No. 7 Middle School in Sichuan Province or the No. 4 Middle School in the capital, while Heyang High School is somewhat similar to the model of Hengshui Middle School.
Specifically, here in Hanning City, it is more concerned about the improvement of the comprehensive quality of students, the educational concept is open, there are many club activities that can only be found in universities in high school, and the extracurricular life is also quite rich.
There will be a lot of exchange opportunities, exchange abroad, foreign students exchange in...... All kinds of club activities are even better than some college students of the same type.
In contrast, the city of Heyang is all about learning, learning, and learning.
Naturally, this is also related to the level of students. After all, the top high schools in Hanning City give priority to more outstanding students, and with grades as a basis, they can allocate some energy to do other things.
In order to catch up with each other in terms of grades under the condition that the foundation is not as good as Hanning, Heyang City naturally has to constantly compress the students' spare time, and the students can make up for their shortcomings with diligence in order not to fall behind in the college entrance examination.
Parents naturally only look at grades, so in the eyes of some people, the education level of Heyang City can be on the same level as Hanning City, but this view is still a bit thin.
If they all focus on the oppressive and high-intensity rhythm education in Heyang City, the college entrance examination results in Hanning City will be even more terrifying.
Yi Yang still prefers to go to Hanning City to study in high school, but if there is really no way to go to Hanning City at the moment, it is not impossible to study in Heyang.
But for now, this matter can be put aside for the time being.
You don't have to start the next round of learning right away.
This summer, many classmates began to do some part-time jobs, and even Luo Bingluo Luoyue and their family conditions were still good, and they didn't focus on studying, but found something to do in the county town to experience some life in society in advance.
After all, after three years of intense study, there is no need to continue to push yourself so hard in the last summer vacation of junior high school.
Because the time of the high school entrance examination is relatively early, and the summer vacation is very long, Yi Yang decided to use most of the summer vacation to engage in the pillow thing.
That batch of raw materials has been transported to Qinghe County.
There was no place to put it, so Yi Yang temporarily put several large bags containing materials in Jiang Lili's house.
Subsequently, Yi Yang took a plastic mold and a filler out.
The fabric is a bundle and has not been cut yet, Yi Yang thought about it for a while, and did not rush to move the fabric.
Modern process production, there is an obvious feature is standardized production.
To unify each step, there must be uniform specifications and standards.
Take the sleeping pillow as an example, the specifications of the plastic mold and the filling are the same, and it is actually quite simple to make a one, just wrap the plastic mold with the filling and fabric.
This process needs to be carefully considered.
The main role of the plastic mold is only to play a supporting role, lying on it is uncomfortable, it is still the fabric and filling shopping, and the sewing process will largely determine the final finished product.
Yi Yang was not in a hurry, but went to buy a plastic bag to simulate the fabric, and then kept cutting, trying, experimenting, and simulating the sewing structure of the fabric.
How many pieces of fabric to cut, what shape, and those positions are the most convenient for sewing, although Yi Yang does not know how to tailor, but he can also find a more reliable shape in this way.
Stuffed himself at home and spent three days doing it.
Finally, on the night of the fourth day, Yi Yang made the first finished sleeping pillow.
The shape of this sleeping pillow is simple, but it is quite practical, and compared to the sloppy version made before, it is already obviously a "commodity", and it looks quite good.
Yi Yang went up and tried it, the experience brought by latex is indeed incomparable to the sponge, Yi Yang felt that his neck was greatly soothed, and his hand was put in from the hole under the sleeping pillow, and he was not afraid of pressing, and the experience was quite good.
Of course, that's a lot worse than sleeping in a bed.
However, the sleeping pillow was originally intended for people who could not sleep in bed, such as students, white-collar workers during lunch breaks, and other groups.
Compared to sleeping directly on the table, the experience of sleeping on a pillow is much better.
Yi Yang tried to sleep, if it was taken out during the lunch break between classes, there was a high probability that it would cause the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission.
In the past few days, he has set a standard for sewing this sleeping pillow, how many pieces of fabric to cut, how big, what shape, where the stitches are, how much latex to fill......
Approaching the most reasonable. After all, it is based on plastic molds, so no matter how it is optimized, it is probably impossible to get out of a certain circle.
Next, it was naturally impossible for him to sew these sleeping pillows one by one...... After all, he doesn't know tailoring, and although he can see the one he has made so far, the thread is messy, and it can be further optimized.
With a sewing machine, an aunt with good skills not only sews fast, but also hides all those threads inside.
Since you are going to be the boss, the professional things are left to the professionals.
Find a tailor......
The first thing to consider is those acquaintances with good character. Yi Yang began to think about which people he knew met this condition.
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang.
When I picked up the small Nokia phone, I saw that it was an unfamiliar landline.
picked it up, and Zhao Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yiyang...... Are you in Swallow Township? ”
"Hmm...... No, what's wrong? ”
"That...... Didn't I borrow money from you last time, I'll pay you back a little first. ”
Yi Yang remembered that Zhao Yue'e's father had an accident and borrowed 5,000 yuan from her. Yi Yang is not in a hurry to use the money now, it doesn't make a difference if the 5,000 yuan is not returned at this time, but for Zhao Yue'e's family, it has a different meaning.
His father was injured last time and raised at home for a while, which means that there is no income for a while. Before the injury was healed, he went to earn money again......
It's really tough.
"Uh...... That, don't worry. ”
"When are you coming to Swallow Country?"
"This ......" Yi Yang suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, Yue'e, does your mother know how to tailor, I remember you seem to have mentioned it?" ”
"Uh...... My mother worked in a tailor factory in the city before she was injured, why do you ask this? ”
Yi Yang gradually had an idea in his heart, and said, "That's okay, I'll come over this afternoon." ”
"Well, it's good......" Zhao Yue'e stopped talking and whispered: "However, for the time being, I can't pay it all at once, I can only pay you back 2,000 first, but don't worry, I will definitely pay it back!" ”
Yi Yang smiled: "It's okay, I'm here to find you with other things." ”
Hanging up the phone, Yi Yang thought about it for a while, and used one pocket to hold several sets of sleeping pillow materials.
At this time, it was still early, Yi Yang called his second uncle, he happened to sell a little vegetables in the county seat, so he said that he would go back to Yanzi Township together in the afternoon.
When I saw the second uncle, the second uncle didn't give a good face.
Yi Yang knew that the second uncle was still angry because he didn't tell him.
After going to Hanning City before, I reported my safety to the second uncle every day, saying the situation, in fact, the second uncle's anger should have disappeared a long time ago, and at this time it was nothing more than the need for a step down.
Yi San pulled Yi Yang up, and asked while driving, "How did you do in the test?" ”
"Hey...... It's okay, I was admitted to two schools. ”
“!”
"It's just that the tuition fee is a bit too expensive, and I haven't decided where I want to go yet."
"Tuition is too expensive?"
"Second uncle, don't worry, there are cheap schools in Heyang City, which are also very good."
"Oh...... I don't know much about this, I'll help you ask other people in the village in two days and give you a reference......"
"Okay."
"Don't do that next time, in case something happens to you...... Forget it, you can't think like that, your dad has already started to run around when you're so old......"
The car drove towards Yanzi Township, and Yi Yang visibly noticed that the second uncle's face was getting better, and he slapped his ass at the right time: "The second uncle's driving skills are getting better and better......
Sure enough, hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on the second uncle's face.
"What do you do, pay attention to which one can make perfect, do one thing to understand one thing, drive this thing......"
As he spoke, he drove into a pit on the road, and with a violent bump, Yi San unceremoniously bit his tongue......
