Chapter 169 [169] Ge Dahong (2000)
When the girl heard her name, her hand, which was originally folding the quilt, suddenly froze, and then looked at her in disbelief.
"Wait, what did you say you're called?"
Zhuo Lin choked. Could it be that another person who knew her origin by hearing her name? He scratched his head awkwardly, "Zhuo, Zhuo Lin!"
"Oh my God, I really heard it right. Then you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination in southern Henan Province, the first place in the country, and the only female top scorer in the genius Zhuo family?"
Isn't there too many names?
The girl jumped off the bed excitedly, grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
"Oh, I'm so lucky. I actually have the same dormitory as the top scorer in the country. My name is Ge Dahong. I am twenty years old this year. I am five years older than you. I am from Qingdao, Shandong. My family is by the beach. When will I go to my house for a holiday? Our whole family will welcome you."
Ge Dahong was very talkative, loud and a strong accent. She was also guessing. When she heard that she came to Beijing alone, Zhuo Lin was full of admiration: "You are so amazing. You dare to come here so far. Isn't it very hard?"
"It's okay, our school is so famous and easy to find. Besides, if my father comes to give me it, how much more money will be spent. In order to save money, I have to come by myself. Our school is really good. There are really free meals. I thought I was cheating me. Moreover, the grain steamed buns are thinner than what I eat at home, so delicious. Now my parents can rest assured."
The clothes Ge Dahong wore were also small patches and the bedding he brought was washed white, and there were even fewer daily necessities, which showed that his family was not in good condition. However, such a poor family was admitted to the No. 1 institution in China, which was enough to show his excellence in abilities.
I thought it was just the two of them, but who would have thought that Ge Dahong said.
"We're here. One of them is from local and the other is from northern Hebei Province. They are close and there are still a few days before the official school starts. Today I just came to sign up and brought the bedding over and locked it in the cabinet. I said I'll come here to make trouble in two days. Their family conditions are pretty good. They look like children of high-ranking officials. Their parents come to deliver it themselves and their clothes are not ordinary. I haven't told me much, not as enthusiastic as you."
Southern Henan Province, Northern Hebei Province, Eastern Shandong Province, and three major college entrance examination provinces. Brothers and brothers faced the capital. This four-person dormitory was more interesting than she thought.
She glanced at the locked cabinet and felt relieved. As long as everyone was locked, she would not worry.
Then he laid his bed and tidyed up his daily necessities, and looked at the sky. He remembered that he hadn't finished his meal, so he looked at Ge Dahong.
"Dahong, have you eaten? Why don't we go to the cafeteria together?"
"Ah, why haven't you eaten yet? I just ate when you came back. If you go there now, there will definitely be no free ones!"
Although Zhuo Lin was dressed without patches, she was also a regular and simple rural outfit, so Ge Dahong felt that she was the same type of person as her. Otherwise, she would not emphasize that the other two roommates had good family conditions just now. Of course, she didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of natural idea. Originally, her family was not rich, otherwise why would she remember to set up a stall?
"It's okay, I'll go and see, are you still eating? Why don't I bring some for you?"
"No, no, go and eat quickly. It's not that the school officially starts, it's closed very early!"
Zhuo Lin went to the cafeteria with her lunch box and found that many windows were closed. Finally, she ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup and redeem it for a meal.
That night, she lay on the dormitory bed, looking at the ceiling, and listening to Ge Dahong's words full of local accent, and the memory seemed to have returned to the 59th year that she had just traveled. In just 11 years, she had struggled from the countryside of the 18th-tier city to the capital. It was incredible, and she felt a sense of pride.
Brothers are everywhere. She had thought that when she was stable here, she would take her parents over. After all, Zhuo Dajun is only 38 years old this year and Wang Juan is 35 years old. They are all young and should not have used work to tie them to death in a small county town.
People walk to a high place, right?
The next morning, Zhuo Lin greeted Ge Dahong: "My brother plans to take me around these days, so I'll be back tonight,"
Ge Dahong looked envious, but he was not a person without a wink. He waved his hand: "Then be careful!"
"Well, you are better than old man in the dormitory. You are also going out to stroll around and take a look at the streets and alleys of the capital."
Zhuo Lin went to the cafeteria to eat buns, drank free soup, and gave Tao Yi another soup, bought four buns, and took them to the back alley.
It was eight or nine o'clock at this time. When she arrived, she saw her brother's luggage. She didn't see anyone, and even the old man was not there. Instead, the old lady in the room heard the noise, "Who is? Who is outside?"
She hurriedly stuck her head out, "Hello, grandma, it's me, I'm your future neighbor, my name is Zhuolin, we saw it yesterday."
The old lady was lying on the recliner. When she saw her about to get up, Zhuo Lin hurriedly placed the thing on the windowsill outside and ran over to help her.
He released the vines and checked her body: "Grandma, don't you have to get up, where has my brother been?"
"The old man and Xiao Tao went to the blacksmith shop and said they were getting a tricycle. Your brother was really capable. He also went to find a carpenter to make a bed, come and measure the size, and prepare to install a house for you. And, he has been making a lot of trouble this morning and is looking for high-priced coal balls for you."
Coal is a necessity for urban people's lives. If you have a formal job and a local household registration, you can buy affordable coal with a limited purchase with a work certificate. For example, people from other places who don't have a job, can only buy high-priced coal balls.
It’s not that she can move her household registration by buying a house. It’s not that simple to move her household registration. She also needs to have a migration certificate issued by her household registration location and a certificate that the police station here allows to move in. She has time to go back and ask carefully.
If the affordable coal is five cents per kilogram, then the high-priced coal balls are one cent per kilogram. This is the gap. And it doesn’t mean that you can buy it casually with a local household registration, and there will be a limited purchase, with 20 kilograms of coal per month per person.
After examination, the old lady was covered with chronic diseases, hypertension, thick blood lipids, chronic gastritis, and bad legs. Although they were not acute, they did need to take medicine every day to control the condition. At the age of sixty or seventy, they couldn't do anything. No wonder they had to live by selling a house. Alas, it was not easy!
Because these diseases have been accumulated over the years, and as old as she is, it is impossible to completely cure them. At most, she can help to improve them to avoid blood clots. Meeting is fate. The old man's body is much better than the old man, but his hands and feet are not flexible. There is no big problem with the other two. The two elders support each other and are so loving, which is really touching.
