Chapter 8: Friends (II)
On Sunday morning, Geng Wenyang was sleeping lazily in the bed, when Xin Xudong suddenly led a few partners to push the door and break directly into his room.
"Wen Yang, hurry up! Go to my house and play cards! Xin Xudong shouted by the kang: "Lao Du, they are also here, you get up quickly!" ”
Geng Wenyang turned his face and saw that there were three or four people standing next to the bed, all of whom were classmates from his junior high school. One is Du Chengdong, who is studying in vocational high school, the other is Zhao Jinsong, who is studying in a technical school, and the other is Sun Hao, who went to No. 3 Middle School.
Geng Wenyang hurriedly got up and said, "Huh? Why did you all come together? Rare guest! ”
"I'm looking for you to play cards!" Du Chengdong said: "I haven't played together for a long time, and the feelings of the brothers will be cold if we don't see each other again." ”
Du Chengdong's words are not rough, friendship is not immutable, and it must be maintained and maintained by constant communication. Just like relatives, even relatives who are close in blood, if they don't move around each other, the relationship will be estranged, and after a long time, they will even end up with a tragic ending of old age and death.
Geng Wenyang got up, washed roughly, ate a few more bites of breakfast, put on his coat and rode out of the courtyard with Xin Xudong and the others.
Xin Xudong's family lives in a public dormitory managed by the housing management office, a typical old-fashioned tube building structure. A long corridor connects the doors of each house, and there is no such thing as a unit.
Xin Xudong has two older sisters, in addition to the eldest sister Xin Fang, who is already working, the second sister Xin Rong is studying in vocational high school and will graduate this summer. There was still a lack of one of the five people playing cards, so Xin Xudong called the second sister as well, and the six people played against each other.
Don't look at Xin Xudong, who looks black and not good-looking, but the second sister Xin Rong is born with fair skin and delicate eyebrows, and her personality is much gentler than that of her strong sister Xin Fang.
Geng Wenyang, as Xin Xudong's friend, is also very familiar with her, and asked between playing cards: "Sister Rong, you are about to graduate, have you found a good receiving unit?" ”
Xin Rong said with sorrow between his eyebrows: "I found it, but it doesn't matter if I can't enter the state-owned factory, I can only find a small collective factory on the street to work first." ”
Du Chengdong threw out a handful of cards and said: "Sister Rong, if you can't find a good job, don't expect us to finish our studies in the future." ”
Xin Rong said: "It's different. You guys must want it in the factory, I studied accounting, there is no shortage of people in the accounting positions in the big factory, it doesn't matter, how can people want me? ”
Geng Wenyang's vision as a traverser is much higher. In his opinion, it doesn't matter what kind of state-owned factory or small collective factory it is, it is the king to be able to make money, so he comforted Xin Rong and said: "Sister Rong, collective enterprises are not necessarily worse than large factories." As long as we can pay wages on time, whether it is a large factory or a small factory, it is the same for us workers. ”
Xin Rong was curious when he heard this: "Yangyang, how is the efficiency of your printing house?" ”
"Three ticks!" Geng Wenyang played a handful of cards and said: "The printing industry is very prosperous now, and the work of our factory can't be finished, and the income is okay." ”
Zhao Jinsong is a well-known stuffy gourd, but at this time he said enviously: "You and Xudong both work to earn money, and we have to count on the family to raise it." Hit the parents and bears all day long, and the poor jingle on the body, when is it a head? ”
Zhao Jinsong and others here are not children who are useful in learning, even Sun Hao, who is the only one who has gone to high school, has very little hope of being admitted to university.
If you can't get into the fateful secondary school and university, the road to finding a good job through study will not work. Therefore, for them, it is already a very good wish to be able to find a job in a large state-owned factory and become a full-time worker.
Geng Wenyang came from later generations and knew that in the near future, state-owned enterprises would usher in a large wave of layoffs and bankruptcies. Even if he entered a large state-owned factory, the previously unbreakable iron rice bowl could not be served.
Under the tide of the times, the fate of individuals is like ants, and the best choice can only be to go with the flow. Geng Wenyang secretly said in his heart: "I have to make a fortune quickly, so that I can help these good friends in front of me in the future, so that they will not be tricked by the fate of the times." ”
Du Chengdong saw that Sun Hao was just holding the cards in his hand and was silent without saying a word, and deliberately asked: "Sun Hao, you are the only one of our guys who went to high school, tell us a few brothers about high school?" ”
Sun Hao smiled bitterly: "I was also a mess in high school, and you all know what grade the third middle school is, unless the school is in the top ten, otherwise you don't want to go to university." ”
"Did you choose liberal arts or science?" Geng Wenyang didn't want his good friend to waste three years of his youth in vain, so he had to help somewhat.
Sun Hao said: "I can't do science, I can only choose liberal arts." ”
"Liberal arts ......" Geng Wenyang pondered: "Language, English, history, and land politics, right?" ”
Xin Xudong said with a smile: "Wen Yangxing, I didn't go to high school and still know what about liberal arts." ”
Geng Wenyang smiled indifferently and continued: "Politics and history are not separated, they are closely related to each other, and many knowledge points are related to each other. ”
Sun Hao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Oops! Really...... Tut! What Lao Geng said makes a lot of sense! ”
Xin Rong said with interest: "Yangyang, how do you know that politics and history are not separated if you haven't been to high school?" ”
Geng Wenyang smiled and said, "I didn't go to high school, but I went to junior high school!" I also studied history and geography in junior high school, and there is not much difference between them and high school, the difference is only in depth, but the principle is the same. ”
Du Chengdong said: "Wen Yang, according to what you say, it's a pity that you don't go to high school, maybe you can be admitted to college if you go to high school." ”
Geng Wenyang said: "What is so difficult to be admitted to university? If I go to No. 1 Middle School, I can at least get into the top three in the whole school. ”
"There are roads, all roads lead to Rome." Geng Wenyang said in high spirits: "Don't look at me if I didn't get into high school, and I won't be able to go to college in the future, but with my ability, I will never do worse than those college students." ”
Xin Rong smiled: "Yangyang, don't brag!" ”
Xin Xudong shook his head and said: "Second sister, you don't know Wen Yang, he has never bragged, he has always been a man of words, if you don't believe it, you can ask everyone." ”
Du Chengdong, Sun Hao and others nodded yes. Xin Rong still didn't believe it: "Yangyang, if you really make a career, I will go to you." ”
Geng Wenyang said generously: "No problem, if Sister Rong wants to come, you will be responsible for the financial matters." ”
Xin Rong smiled and said, "Okay! I'm waiting, don't talk without words! ”
Xin Xudong then said: "Wen Yang, I also want to follow you." It's better for us guys to work hard together than to work hard for those black-hearted bosses. ”
Geng Wenyang smiled and said, "No problem! All the old students here, as long as I, Geng Wenyang, will make a name for myself in the future, I will definitely not forget everyone, and we will be blessed together! ”
Everyone gossiped: "It's still enough buddy for Wen Yang!" ”
"Wen Yang, I'll really come to you when the time comes!"
"I'm just waiting to make a fortune with you......"
It was close to noon when everyone was playing and laughing, and Xin Xudong's life was relatively difficult, Geng Wenyang and others declined the kindness of the Xin sisters and brothers to entertain lunch, and left with interest.
