Chapter 19 Flower Season and Rainy Season - Chapter 19 This is the time to make heroes

Yu Fajia's restaurant has undergone a series of renovations, making it look magnificent and more upscale.It's not easy from a small street vendor to a big restaurant owner.Dad is still sober, and often emphasizes that this is a hero made by the times. On the day of opening, there is a big banquet for guests.Dad asked Yu Fa to invite the teachers.Yu Fa felt that Teacher Jiang was good, even though he thought some of the teacher's speech and behavior were old-fashioned, but he agreed with the teacher's thinking, Yu Fa thought about it, and invited Teacher Jiang alone. Teacher Jiang has gone.Yu Fa's father was very enthusiastic.Called a lot of drinks and fruits, greeted him personally, and then went to other things, let Yu Fa accompany the teacher exclusively.

The three floors of the restaurant were packed with guests.Dad was a little overwhelmed, lest he greet this one and neglect that one.The restaurant turned on the air conditioner and it was cool, but he was still sweating profusely. Yu Fa and Teacher Jiang found a table against the wall and sat down. "Mr. Jiang, you eat. "Okay, okay. Yu Fa, it's good that you can be like your father." He is still very capable. "He's so big and I'm so small." "When you were your dad's age, you could be like him." "Hard to say." Yu Fa didn't just answer that right out of his mouth. My old man has a company and a restaurant. If he can't find a better way out in the future, he will take over the manager's class and become a small boss.

"Teacher, I want to ask you a question." "OK." "Teacher, how much is your monthly salary?" "A thousand or so." Yu Fa was surprised: "Then how do you live?" The teacher was also surprised: "I was only 46 yuan a month when I first worked, and I am still alive." Yu Fa shook his head, expressing disbelief that his weekly pocket money sometimes exceeds this amount.Yu Fa suddenly found out that the teacher was poor and his father was rich... "Teacher, do you have stocks?" "No." "Teacher, did you just come from the mainland and dare not accept new things?" Yu Fa was a little worried for the teacher.

Mr. Jiang admitted that he was in the Mainland in the past and didn't know anything about stocks.After coming to the SAR, I heard people talking about stocks all day long, and I started to get acquainted with them. "Seriously, teacher, I bought stocks during the winter vacation, and in just a few months, I made a net profit of 1,000. What job can compare to stock trading?" "What about after that? You can't make a career out of stock trading!" "Hui, let's talk about it later." Teacher Jiang felt sad and didn't know what to say for a while.It was his first time to make a fortune in Yu.Yu Fa was playing mahjong, and it was the second time he went to Yu Fajia. Yu Fa was talking about stock trading. When will Yu Fa talk about the future?

"Teacher, I'll give you 200,000 RMB, can you spend it all in one day?" The teacher thought for a while: "I don't think so." "I can do it." Yu Fa showed pride. After serving the dishes, Yu Fa continued to add dishes to Mr. Jiang and report the names of the dishes. The banquet was very sumptuous.Teacher Jiang ate very badly. After the banquet was over, Yu Fa's father invited the teacher to sit at home again. In Kushui Village, Mr. Jiang visited once. It was already dark that day, and Mr. Jiang did not see the buildings in the village clearly.This time, Mr. Jiang was very careful.

"Renewing the old look" is not enough to express; "renewing the new generation" is not appropriate enough.In a fashionable phrase, the architecture of Bitter Water Village underwent a reformation, past.Here are all gray walls and black tiles, usually bungalows, and it is difficult to see two floors.The kitchen does not have a chimney, and the walls in the house are blackened by smoke. They are also used to keeping pigs in the house, children playing in the main room, and pigs running around in the main room. Now, this kind of landscape has basically disappeared, replaced by It is a small western-style building with four or five floors.The reason why I say basic, not complete, is because there are still a few old houses in the north corner of the village, which was the idea of ​​the old village chief, and they are reserved for the younger generations to remember bitterness and sweetness.

The exterior walls of the new buildings are all mosaic veneer, and the doors and windows are all brown aluminum alloy.The interior decoration refers to the new style of domestic and foreign rulers. The living room and dining room are all suspended ceilings, and various large and small lighting decorations are all over the corners. The wooden wall skirts are picked up to one meter high. The momentum is not like a residential house or a hotel! In the past, many people from Kushui Village smuggled into Hong Kong, but now they are not allowed to go.Only a few people who went to Hong Kong became prosperous, and most of them did not even have a house of their own after more than ten years. Those who fled to Hong Kong returned to their hometowns one after another.Some people say that people go to high places, this is the law.

As soon as Yu Fa got home, he turned on the TV first, and tuned to Shenzhen TV. Yu Fa never watched domestic TV. He thought Hong Kong TV was very entertaining, and there were often idols on stage, which were lively and natural, unlike the mainland TV. It's so rigid, the host always sits motionless at the table, and there is a vase of flowers on the table, which is terribly dirty.More importantly, Hong Kong TV has programs 24 hours a day.Great choice.But now Yu Fa wants to watch Shenzhen TV and "Shenzhen News". In fact, what he cares about is not the news, but the "Stock Quotes" 15 minutes later.

After the news, there is a long advertisement, and the advertisement is over.A line of subtitles appeared: The government advises citizens to bear their own risks in stock investment, and they must be cautious when making market decisions.Radio Television Hong Kong's cigarette advertisements also have similar words: the government advises the public.Smoking is harmful to health.The cigarette business in Hong Kong is still booming, and the stock trading in Shenzhen is still in full swing. The familiar baritone voice finally came from the TV: "Development... Vanke... Jintian... Bao'an..."

"Dead. Missed a piece." Yu Fa didn't take his eyes off the TV for a moment, Mr. Jiang seemed to be watching TV too, watching "Stock Crazy" starring Yu Fa. "No, I have to sell it tomorrow." Yu Fa said. Yu Fa's father took out a bowl of fruit from the back room: "Lao Xi. I'm not natural (not sensible), and Lao Xi is bothering me." He spoke half-spoken Mandarin. "What do you plan to call Yu Fa in the future?" the teacher asked. "What did he do, it's not doing business like me." "It seems that you don't want Yu Fa to do business, isn't it good to do business?"

"I can't tell." For Laodou, this is indeed an unclear question.Experts and scholars who specialize in sociology and economics also have to go into the sea while exploring.Only then did I know my water quality, not to mention my father, a fake junior high school student, how could he answer it. "Old Xi, as teachers, you don't have much money. Do you feel that you are psychologically unbalanced? Everyone is rich, and only Lao Xi is poor." The teacher said: "Psychological imbalance, occasionally, is normal. But I never feel that I am poor." Dad was a little puzzled. "This is poor." The teacher pointed to the pocket, "This is not poor." The teacher pointed to the head again. "I have my job, my students, so it's very fulfilling." When Yu Fa heard this, he suddenly felt how rich Mr. Jiang was and how poor his father was. In recent years, many teachers have "goed into the sea", and this phenomenon is more prominent among young teachers. Of course, there are also many teachers who are willing to stay poor.Teacher Jiang expressed his understanding to the teacher who went to the sea.Show respect to teachers who can't go to sea.He also takes part-time classes outside the school at night, but he never takes up his time.tell the truth.It's really hard to get the size right.Because in addition to a high sense of responsibility, there must be plenty of energy and a strong physique. Teachers’ sense of responsibility needs material maintenance. In a commodity society, if self-employed people become self-employed, teachers become outsiders. Psychological imbalance is inevitable. How should intellectuals deal with these? Yu Fa's father finally said: "Hey, if Yu Fa can read as well as Chen Ming, then he will be truly Fa." One sentence reminded Mr. Jiang that after Mr. Jiang left Yu's house, he passed by Chen Ming's house specially.Chen Ming's room was brightly lit, there was no doubt that he was working hard. 50,000 for admission to university Chen Ming is studying so attentively.Teenagers are always cutest when they're working their way up toward a goal. A factory was set up in the village, and a young man with a college degree from Hubei was hired as the factory director.When this young man first came here, he said very nicely, what should I do.Struggle for what, what must be... The hype was so hype, the villagers were confused, so they let him do it, but who knew that this guy was a charlatan.Not only did he make a mess of the factory, but he also fled with 1 million yuan. While the villagers were angry and resentful, they also came to their senses: We should have our own college students.We should have our own technicians, engineers, masters and doctors. The reason why we were deceived.It is because we have no knowledge, so the village committee immediately decided: Anyone who is admitted to high school will be rewarded 10,000 yuan; those who receive various commendations in school will be rewarded 20,000 yuan;When this decision was promulgated, people turned their attention to Chen Ming.It seemed that these rewards were specially set up for him, waiting for him to receive them, and he was none other than him.Chen Ming was happy for others to look at him like this, and his vanity was satisfied.At the same time, he hated other people's eyes, as if he only studied for money. Dad came in with a cup of Turtle Fort: "Mingzi, finish your warm book." Chen Ming didn't move. "Mingzai, study hard. You can earn all the money. Give Dad a try. As long as you are admitted to university, you will get 50,000 yuan. You can get 50,000 yuan for Shenzhen University, and 50,000 yuan for Tsinghua University. It is cost-effective to take the deep exam.” cost-effective?This is also measured by cost-effectiveness, you buy meat as a market.Chen Ming looked at his father dissatisfied. "You're right to listen to what Dad said. I'm doing it for your own good. Even if you don't listen to me, you should always listen to what your uncle said. He also said that Shenzhen is very good. No matter how many people want to enter Shenzhen, they can't get in. But you want to go out, maybe you will never come back in your life. I heard that the winter in the north is very cold, and you will get frostbite; I heard that the people in the north are very unhygienic. They only take a shower once a week, and sometimes once a month... Tsk tsk. You Uncle is a person who often runs away. He knows more than you." Chen Ming didn't want to hear the word "Uncle" anymore. He used to regard him as a bosom friend and worshiped him.He used to look forward to his return with joy, but when his uncle really came back, Chen Ming's fantasy was shattered.The uncle has changed a lot, he is no longer the uncle in his mind, he keeps saying "I eat more salt than you eat rice, I walk more bridges than you walk", have you seen more and learned more , must become vulgar?Chen Ming felt sad, sad for his uncle, and also sad for losing his idol. Seeing that Chen Ming didn't speak, Dad thought he had been moved by the words: "It will be difficult to come back after taking the exam in another place. Don't regret it." "Abba. You go out, I want to review the book." "Okay, okay, study hard." Dad retreated to the door, and said before closing the door, "It's 50,000 to go to college." Chen Ming was annoyed, and locked the door angrily.Sit in a chair and pick up your textbook.It was found that all of them were hundred-yuan bills with "People's Bank of China" printed on them.It is easy for Chen Ming to win all the awards in the village, but he is very angry with others, and always associates his education with money.Chen Ming thinks this is his biggest misunderstanding.No one understood him. Chen Ming couldn't read the book, "I don't read it, I don't read it." He opened the window, threw a stack of books down, and vented his anger on the book.But within 5 minutes, he went downstairs to pick it up again.The book was covered with a lot of dust, which made him feel distressed. Chen Ming was reborn at the table, and he began to calm down.Because he is very clear about the purpose of his reading. in social practice.Chen Ming felt his own knowledge crisis, and he found that in some places he was not even as good as Yufa.He has a strong nature and does not allow himself to be inferior to others, in any aspect.Not allowed, not allowed!But when he wanted to learn some extracurricular knowledge, he felt that he was not doing his job properly, and he was even more worried that others would take the lead if he was not careful.Don't forget, the political teacher once laughed at him as "the camel among the sheep".As a result, extracurricular books gave way to in-class books. He is very clear that he is the focus of the whole village and the darling of the school.Young mothers in the village often say to their BBs: "BBs should be as eye-catching as Brother Mingzai, and study like Brother Mingzai. The teacher's "learn from Chen Ming", "Look at how Chen Ming does it" and so on. The words are endless. The attention and love of others are both motivation and pressure for him, so Chen Ming can only think about it and hold on to the textbook. Looking up and seeing Lei Zhenzi, he seemed to have found a confidant.He silently stared at Lei Zhenzi's three eyes in turn, saying that "fairy eyes" can see everything, and it seems that only Lei Zhenyu understands him. The scenery ahead is more charming When Chen Ming came out of the teaching office, dusk had already fallen.In the western sky, there are dark red clouds sticking to each other. The red is black, and the black is red, showing a majestic momentum. Director Gu brought Chen Ming here to congratulate him on winning the math competition.At the end, Director Gu solemnly patted him on the shoulder and taught him: "If you make great strides towards your goal, you will have a bright future. Remember, don't be obsessed with the scenery on the side of the road, the scenery ahead is even more charming!" Back in the classroom, only Lin Xiaoxu was there. She was burying her head in the questions, frowning slightly.In Chen Ming's impression, Lin Xiaoxu was a sad girl, a bit like Lin Daiyu.Today's appearance is more like that of Sister Lin. Chen Ming watched her quietly for a while. What Lin Xiaoxu caught Chen Ming's attention was that after the preliminary math competition that day, the students either talked about the exam questions or rushed out of the classroom to flee.Pencil shavings, scratch paper, on the table, and on the ground.Xiaoxu silently carried a garbage bag, starting from the first position in the first row, to help everyone clean up the waste paper on the table. Chen Ming observed her secretly, and felt that she was very different from other girls, which made people feel uneasy. Think of the word "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade". "Lin Xiaoxu. Are you still going home?" Chen Ming walked to her side and asked softly, contrary to his usual aloofness. Only then did Lin Xiaoxu realize that he turned around and smiled slightly: "It's Chen Ming! The exam is coming soon. Finish your homework before going home." Xiaoxu bowed his head and continued to work on the questions.Her short ear-length hair slid down, covering her eyes. Chen Ming was a little impulsive, and couldn't help raising his hand, wanting to help Xiaoxu shave the short hair behind her ears.At this time Xiaoxu raised his head to look at him and stroked his hair. "Chen Ming. You haven't come home yet?" Chen Ming was a little embarrassed, he retracted his hand unnaturally: "Go back, go home." Xiaoxu returned to normal again.Bow your head and do the question.Chen Ming felt a little sad.He thought if it was Xiao Yao or someone else standing in front of her.She won't look like this. Chen Ming tucked his schoolbag and wanted to leave.At this time, Xiaoxu said: "Chen Ming, you are the first in this math competition again, really amazing!" Chen Ming was not happy about it at all, and seemed even more sad, as if he had nothing to talk to except for studying and being the first. "It's not like me. Whenever I see math, I get a headache." Xiao Xu pointed to the math homework book on the table, frowning. Chen Ming blurted out: "I'll help you..." The following words were originally "I'll help you review math".He really wanted to help this delicate girl in front of him, he would feel a sense of satisfaction, but he didn't say it.He never speaks soft words, he will feel uncomfortable for his excessive hospitality.And he was even more worried that Xiaoxu would be frightened by this abnormal sentence.So, he murmured, "I'll help you turn on the light. Say it. Turn up the wattage of the light. The classroom is much brighter at once. "Thank you." Xiaoxu smiled at him. This "thank you" shows that there is a strong relationship between them.Chen Ming was a little sad for this "thank you". Chen Ming stared at Xiaoxu again, and finally, bowed his head and left the classroom. Chen Ming rode his bike and didn't go home directly.He felt very heavy and conflicted.Chen Ming never thought that this kind of thing would happen to him.Whenever he hears his classmates talking about who is "dating" with whom, he thinks these people are so ridiculous and childish.But today...he "hates" Xiaoxu a little bit, and blames her.But it was all her fault, and Chen Ming couldn't bear it.One Chen Ming said: "Maybe I fell in love with her." The other Chen Ming said: "Don't think about it, and you can't make a wrong step. Chen Gang knew that this would disturb his life and affect his study, so he couldn't go on. , can not go deep. Although everything has not started, but it should have ended. There is a fortune-teller wife under the overpass, with a silk scarf wrapped around her head, dressed like a northerner.She sat on the ground and greeted passers-by: "Heaven has a destiny, and people have disasters, let's have a fortune telling!" Chen Ming disdained these things since he was a child, but his parents believed them submissively.The mother said that she had three daughters back then, and there was no boy, so she worshiped the mother-in-law very devoutly, bless her to have a son, and carry on the family line for the Chen family, so that the mother-in-law would not dislike her.Sure enough, the Empress Songzi was moved, and the next child was a son, and she was extremely smart.The parents are very grateful. Every year, they would like to thank the mother-in-law for their great kindness. They even dragged Chen Ming to kneel together. Chen Ming refused, and no matter how much I persuaded him, he would not kneel. I would rather die than surrender.But today, Chen Gang is a little "wrong".He got out of the car and approached the fortune teller. "Just do the math for me." The old woman looked at him for a while, opened her mouth full of yellow teeth, and murmured: "The calamity comes from the blessing, the qi comes from the harmony, and the difficulty comes from the body..." She took out a tube of bamboo sticks and asked Chen Ming to shake one out.Chen Ming looked at a tube full of bamboo sticks and thought to himself: "Let it jump out a few more sticks. If the ones that fall are odd numbers, tell Xiaoxu whether she agrees or not, and feel happier; if you want an even number , as if nothing happened." Chen Ming took the bamboo tube, closed his eyes, and it came out.Chen Ming slowly opened his eyes, saw that there were two, his heart sank, suddenly he found another one at the old woman's feet, tilted, Chen Ming was a little pleasantly surprised: "I can tell her!" At this moment , His conviction hit him: "No, I can't do that, I can't." He didn't pick up the bamboo stick, and got up immediately. Grandma called from behind: "Hey, Brother Housheng, it's not counted yet!" But Chen Ming "calculated" for himself, and he left quickly on his bicycle. This night, Chen Ming thought he would be sad and suffer from insomnia, but on the contrary, he felt very calm, and he did not suffer from insomnia or dreams. On the second morning, Chen Ming woke up and saw Lei Zhenzi as soon as he opened his eyes. He understood that he wanted to ride the clouds. The tide of going abroad and returning fever Xiao Yao folded the letter and put it back in the envelope.Put it in your trouser pocket. He went straight to the class teacher's office. This letter from his parents mainly talked about going abroad, and it was time for him to make a choice.He thought of Teacher Jiang and decided to listen to the teacher's opinion. Teacher Jiang thought about it for a while, and said, "Shall I talk about your thoughts first?" "When the procedures were not completed, I really wanted to go out; when the procedures were almost completed, I didn't really want to leave. I wanted to reunite with my parents and finish middle school in China. The middle school education in our country is better than that in the UK. Well, I don't want to give up my studies halfway." "Do you miss your parents?" Xiao Yao said without hesitation: "I think, before my parents left, they asked me if I would cry when they left. I said no. At that time, I thought there was nothing to cry about. I felt more comfortable when they left. Wait They boarded the plane, but I couldn't help crying. A few days ago, my father's colleague came back from England and brought back a video tape. I saw my parents on the screen and felt that they were much older. After reading it, I cried again. People say that men don’t cry easily, but I just want to cry, teacher. Am I very fragile?” "No, Xiao Yao, I think it's normal. If you don't want to, don't cry. It's not normal." "My parents are only a son like me, and I really want to live with them. But I don't want to take advantage of my parents' opportunity to go abroad. Going abroad, unless I go out by myself-this is the only thing I can accept." "There are already a lot of comments on newspapers and magazines about the tide of going abroad. I think you know it too. I personally think that this is a sign that China is moving from being closed to opening up. It is a good phenomenon. Although it has many worrisome aspects. Xiao Yao, I hope you go out, look outside, and learn. But I hope you go abroad for seminars and lectures with a high profile, not to work and study with a low profile. Do you understand what the teacher means?" "Well. I think I'm going to go out someday, but not at this time, not in this way." "There is a 'going abroad craze' in the mainland, but there is a 'returning craze' in Shenzhen. Many overseas students write letters, ask people for directions, and come to job hunting. When reporters ask them why, they say that competition, opportunities, and modern civilization are all in Europe and the United States. What we have, Shenzhen has also begun to own; but the traditional Chinese sense of belonging cannot be satisfied by foreign countries.” At this time, Xiao Yao had fully understood the teacher's intention and his own goal.Before leaving, Teacher Jiang confessed: "You should also respect your parents' opinions." "Teacher, don't worry. My parents respect my opinion very much, and I believe I can convince them. Oh, yes, teacher, my parents said that they will return to China in July, and they want to know you very much." Xiao Yao walked to the corridor, and suddenly discovered that those fallen leaves that people usually ignore turned out to be so devoted to their roots, this is the fallen leaves returning to their roots. For some reason, the students all knew about Xiao Yao, and they all found it incredible. These days, let alone some overseas relations, even if they don’t have any, they have to recruit a few. Who doesn’t want to go abroad, especially Liu Qing, no Looking at Xiao Yao with comprehension: "Did you take the wrong medicine? Wang Xiaotian also said that Xiao Yao was stupid, and deliberately put a high hat on Xiao Yao: "He is promoting the spirit of patriotism! "On the contrary, Chen Ming somewhat understood: "Everyone thinks differently, maybe this is better." " "Xiao Yao, Director Gu is here to invite you." A classmate said to Xiao Yao. Arriving at Director Gu's office, Director Gu's first words were: "Xiao Yao, you've been doing very well recently!" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment.He didn't know why Director Gu gave him such an evaluation. Seeing him in a daze, Director Gu said, "It's almost the end of the semester, and the monitors of each class have to write a summary. This includes a summary of class activities and your own thoughts. Xiao Yao, I think you can write about your understanding of going abroad. Well." It was only then that Xiao Yao realized that Director Gu's words were aimed at his going abroad. It was really strange, how did Director Gu know.Oh, it must be the information he got from "going deep into the masses".Director Gu is also very difficult. His classmates don't like him very much, but he wants to mingle with them and take the opportunity to carry out ideological education. Write a summary?how to write?Xiao Yao concluded that what he wrote would never be the kind of summary Director Gu expected to see. "We believe that young people should set a high standard. Director Gu waved his hand and said first. He always likes to say "we think", as if he alone can represent many people, "there must be a spirit of dedication to the motherland, the country's I hope that in your generation, you will be the pillars of the country. " These words were very loud, but Xiao Yao didn't like it very much.This is the distance between Director Gu and our classmates, and this is the difference between Director Gu and Teacher Jiang.Director Gu always likes to use such slogans or aphorisms to motivate students, but the students are very disgusted with these, they like some more plain things.Why can't everything be separated from slogans?Probably because there were too many slogans in the past few years, so now people feel sick when they mention slogans.In fact, Director Gu's words are quite reasonable, that is... "Director, I'm not what you said." Xiao Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't rush to draw conclusions, go back and think about it, write a summary and give it to me." Here we go again!Director Gu can never forget his ideological work.Oh, Director Gu, what can I say about you! Xiao Yao got up very uncomfortable, moved to the door, and turned around: "Director, please spare me!"
