Chapter 6: Here are the safflowers

Everyone thinks that diplomas are too important, but in fact, they generally refer to wage earners.

Because this thing is a stepping stone when looking for a job, a diploma can get better and more job opportunities.

Huang Han resigned early before the collapse of his work unit and came out to work for himself, although he only did a small business, but he didn't need to flatter anyone, and his diploma was useless.

Even so, Huang Han still deeply believes that if there is a learning opportunity, he will definitely spare no effort to enter a well-known university.

Huang Han was a freshman in high school at the age of sixteen, but dropped out of school after less than half a semester and became an apprentice.

The reason is very simple, Huang Daozhou is very sick, and the unit can take care of him and retire early for his children to replace him.

At this time, they truly realized the superiority of state-owned workers under the socialist system, and it is no wonder that the people of the whole country at this time are eager to become public servants and serve iron rice bowls.

Because there was no medical reform at this time, the state covered all birth, old age, sickness and death, and Huang Daozhou was an employee of a state-owned unit, not only enjoying free medical care, but also sending people to care or pay for nursing care.

Housewife Zhang Fangfen can get a salary every month to care for the sick Huang Daozhou, which is definitely more than doing some sewing and mending work, which can be regarded as a characteristic of this era.

Therefore, Huang Daozhou's poor family did not become poorer due to illness, and it also brought an excellent opportunity to solve his son's rural household registration.

This is a "leaping farmer's door"! But it is hard to find, who doesn't cherish it?

Besides, Huang Han was only admitted to a third-rate high school far away from home, who can guarantee that he can be admitted to college?

Not only is the family not optimistic, but Huang Han also has no confidence.

The attainment rate of the middle school he attended was not even 10 percent, which means that the number of students in a class of 50 or 60 students who can continue their studies at a college or secondary school or above is only five.

You must know that the admission rate of Sanshui Experimental Middle School, which has been included in the provincial key and cancelled junior high school, is as high as 70 or 80 percent.

At that time, parents regarded being admitted to an experimental middle school as as important as being admitted to a university, because as long as their children were admitted to an experimental high school, it was about equivalent to a proper place in a college or secondary school.

The competition is fierce, and it is not easy for a middle school student from a third-rate school to reach the line, who dares to take the risk?

Besides, Huang Han still has the special situation of rural hukou, of course, he must pocket his immediate interests.

This is not nonsense, because the rural hukou of more than eight years is simply a shame and a shackle for young people living in cities and towns.

The reason is very simple, there is basically no difficulty for ordinary high school students to get a job at this time, and they will wait for a year and a half at most.

The high school students who failed to make the list in the experimental middle school did not have to wait, and those with a quantitative account were basically accepted by good units such as banks, post and telecommunications, and power supply bureaus.

However, it is impossible for high school students with rural hukou to get the opportunity to be assigned a job, so they can only find connections and ask someone to get a temporary job, which is not only hard work, low income, and unstable without any welfare.

During the period of diploma fever, Huang Han, who had been transferred to work as a repairman and electrician for more than three years and worked as a purchaser in the material system, also followed the trend of studying at night and taking self-study exams.

After four or five years of spare time, I got a secondary school diploma.

It's a pity that the times have changed, the country has grasped the big and let go of the small, and the units are almost yellow, how can it be possible to fulfill the practice of raising wages.

Huang Han resigned in a fit of anger and left the declining state-owned unit, a blessing in disguise.

Working hard and making their own decisions, although they did not make a fortune, they also had a higher income than the vast majority of those who were killed and liquidated by the unit, you must know that their wages were much higher than Huang Han at that time.

Now the problem is that the family is too poor, if I skip a grade and my sister are both admitted to college, my parents will definitely not be able to afford two college students, and the top priority should be to solve poverty, first to have meat to eat every day and then think about other things.

Huang Han didn't expect to be targeted by the head teacher, and he memorized the text and wrote the words silently.

Fortunately, he deliberately read the required memorization texts of the notes, and he was able to cope with the special care of Jiang Fatzi.

This is absolutely abnormal, and more students feel that Huang Han is different, and secretly slander himself and hell.

Even Huang Han can recite texts fluently, why can't he memorize them?

Even Huang Han can write the new words silently, which is not difficult, and he must not write it wrong.

Jiang Fatzi is a teacher after all, and if he can't grasp Huang Han's mistakes, of course it's not good to get angry and scold people casually, he is uncomfortable, and he seems to be thinking about things when he gets out of class, and he is obviously absent-minded.

The third period is a music lesson, and the soul of an old man is cheeky and sings in a group of little kids:

“...... There are red flowers, there is green grass here, and there are singing little yellow orioles, and ......"it's really creepy."

When Huang Han racked his brains to plan how to have meat to eat every day, his stomach couldn't help but growl, and the empty stomach was indescribably uncomfortable.

I remember this feeling vividly, I have almost forgotten everything I did in elementary school, but the hunger that I conveyed in my stomach in the third period of the morning can be said to be remembered for a lifetime.

The electric bell rang from the direction of the ancient stage, and the campus suddenly became noisy, and Huang Han trotted all the way home, and it was estimated that it took three or four minutes.

The first thing I did when I got home was to cut my nails, wash my hands, and finally get rid of the black nail cracks.

Zhang Fangfen was as busy as ever, and she didn't have time to notice her son's abnormal behavior, only her seven-year-old sister Huang Hao followed Huang Han's buttocks.

Huang Feng, who has not yet gone to school, is not simple, he is quite talented in reading, more powerful than his sister Huang Xin, and has maintained the top ten in the class after entering the school, and finally gave up high school because of his poor family, and chose to study in a small secondary school "Yuenongmen".

At this time, it is not more than ten years later, the score line of the best provincial key high school in Sanshui County is several points lower than the score line of the secondary school, you must know that under the fierce competition, one point is enough to overturn a boatload of people.

If Huang Feng is in high school, he has the strength to be admitted to a prestigious university.

It's a pity that poverty leads to the inability to use imagination, and can only choose immediate interests.

It's useless to think about the past, and look at the present.

Not long after Huang Han took out the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned them again with well water, Huang Daozhou and Huang Xin also entered the house one after the other, and the lunch was very simple, a big bowl of green vegetables and a big pot of multigrain rice.

Why do you need to eat cereals? Do you know how to maintain health during this period?

Ahh

That's because Huang Han's family has four rural hukou, and the rations need to be purchased by the rural production team where the hukou is located, and he has no right to choose.

It is impossible to have polished rice and white flour, but rice, wheat, sweet potato, barley, and so on.

If you only buy rice and wheat, then there is only one result, there is not enough food to eat, waiting to go hungry.

Why do you have to go to the production team to buy rations? That's because all the grain in other places requires food stamps, and Huang Han's family only has 28 catties of food stamps a month.

If you don't have food stamps, you have to pay a high price to buy grain from the black market, Huang Daozhou's family is so poor that they buy the cheapest brown rice for cheap grain, how can they afford to buy high-priced grain on the black market.

Today's rice pot is 60% flattened barley mixed with 40% brown rice cooked multigrain rice.

When Huang Han was a child, he couldn't stand the roughness of Barley Bian, and used to cry and protest during meals, but the conditions at home did not allow him to open a small stove for Huang Han.

The clever Zhang Fangfen deliberately did not stir the barley flat when cooking rice, and often filled Huang Han with the rice pot first, and the center of the rice pot was basically the part of the rice.

Huang Han didn't pay attention, Zhang Fangfen packed five bowls of rice, and the other four bowls were a little black, only the bowl in front of him was slightly yellow.
