Chapter 129 Change
Tian Shichang's shyness won the favor of the aunt. When it was time to get off the bus, the aunt who helped him get the money decided to help him and asked enthusiastically: "What do you want to buy? I know someone, let me tell you. The price is the same, it can be better than what others get."
"I don't know very well. My family rarely ate meat before, so I wanted to buy some to make my younger brothers and sisters happy." Tian Shichang felt a little embarrassed, but he still said it.
The aunt just liked his personality. After thinking about it, she said, "Then make dumplings. It costs a lot of meat to eat. The family has a large population and three or five kilograms of meat are not enough to eat. It will be different if you make dumplings. It is lively and festive."
Tian Shichang nodded happily and said, "Then make cabbage dumplings, and eat them every year during the Chinese New Year, which is very delicious."
As he spoke, Tian Shichang's saliva was almost gone.
In the north, dumplings are basically the most festive and the most delicious thing in people's impression. Even braised pork, elbows, etc., which are more oily and watery, it has been unable to reverse the image of dumplings for more than ten years.
"You have to buy cabbage dumplings, buy some meat and seasonings. Do you have seasonings at home?" The aunt helped out with advice.
Tian Shichang said embarrassedly: "I don't know."
"Then buy some, it doesn't matter if the rest is left, and you can use it in the future." The aunt took a lot of money and said, "The cabbage is easy to deal with. Let's go to the store to buy it. Just find Li Shuo's mother. If you want to pick some meat, buy some fat?"
"The fatter the better." Tian Shichang was already so greedy.
The aunt laughed and said, "It depends on how many kilograms of meat you want to buy. People want to buy fatty things. It's a bit late today. Is there any hard to say? Why don't you come here early?"
"I have to go to work in the morning."
"You are really young people. You can't come to buy vegetables when you go to work? Get up early. Our factory has an early train, which is specially for the town. Otherwise, you can come here by bike. After buying vegetables, you can take the food to take people to work. You don't delay anything. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"In addition, in the future, it is best to buy meat from the butcher shop in our factory. The butcher shop in Xibao Town is better to come to our factory to get meat. If you want any meat, just hand a cigarette to the boss of the butcher shop in the factory and ask him to keep it in advance."
Tian Shichang hesitated and said, "Or what if I go back to the meat joint factory, I will buy meat again?"
"I've come here, let's take a look first. If there are not many people buying meat today, you can choose good ones. If there are really no one, I'll buy it in the factory tomorrow. Look, am I going to buy meat in the town as well?"
"Okay, I'll bother you."
"No trouble, I have to buy something to visit my relatives anyway, and there is no two steps." The aunt said, then took Tian Shichang into a butcher shop and greeted her with familiarity.
The butcher shop is also state-owned. The salesperson inside has a cold face to all the customers, as if they all owe them themselves. It was not until the aunt came in that she laughed and called out, "Is Cao Jun's mother here?"
"Here, I'm here to see my cousin today, and I'll help the factory people to show some meat. Is there any good one? I want two pieces." The aunt put a cloth bag on the chopping board. There are no plastic bags now, and there is no free packaging. Every household has a cloth bag to travel around the world.
The salesperson smiled like a normal person and said, "I was thinking that there were few people buying meat today, and no one came again, so I bought this piece of meat myself."
While saying that, she took out two pieces of thick and thick pork belly from under the chopping board.
There were many people standing in front of the chopping board waiting to buy meat, most of whom were picking up the fat meat they picked. When they saw this piece of pork belly with thick fists, they were all so envious.
In the case of insufficient oil and water, fat meat with flowers is the best, and pure lean meat is the worst. Unlike later pigs, most of the pigs in the 1980s were raised by farmers themselves, and the meat-in-one factory purchased them uniformly. Most of the pigs were less than 150 kilograms, with less fat meat and more lean meat. It is rare to encounter fat pork.
The pork taken out by the salesperson is considered a selected product, and the price is not high, and it is all reserved for people you know. Others who come to buy meat are dissatisfied, but no one has made any comments.
Even if someone asked, the salesperson would not pay attention to it. Maybe he would scold him and remember this person and give him the worst meat in the future.
The aunt took the meat with a little pride and asked Tian Shichang: "Look, this meat is good, how much is it? Should it be larger or smaller?"
"I can do it."
"Then I'll take a small piece and give one to my cousin's house."
"Thank you," Tian Shichang said sincerely. Compared with the meat on the chopping board, this piece is so good that it is in the sky.
The aunt was very happy and boasted: "If you kill 10 pigs in the meat joint factory, you may not be able to produce such good meat. You are lucky. OK, after paying the money, let's go buy vegetables."
Tian Shichang gave the money and meat tickets, wrapped the meat in lotus leaves, and put it in the cloth bag that he carried with him.
When I went out, I heard the salesperson's tone change back to an impatient state, and shouted: "Don't make a noise, come one by one, the meat is cut, take whatever piece you want, don't move if you don't want it."
After walking away for several meters, you could still hear the voice of the salesperson, and even covered the voices of the people in the shop.
The aunt held the cloth bag and listened to the noise behind her, and said, "It's much better to be a salesperson than we worker. How old is Oda this year? Have you found a partner?"
Tian Shichang suddenly blushed and said, "No, I'm 19."
"It's time to prepare. I'm asking me to find a business system to find a business system. Not only does it contain food and drink, it's convenient for children to go to school. You don't understand it at a young age. The teachers in the school like the most is the children of the salesperson's family. Look at Cao Jun's mother. Every time the teacher I know comes to buy meat, she will pick a piece of good one for her and send another piece for the holidays. People are not happy to death. Cao Jun is often left to the teacher to tutor alone..." The aunt went to the vegetable shop and continued to say hello to the salesperson she knew. Not only did she get a piece of white cabbage, but she also spared three or four cabbage gangs.
Tian Shichang followed the aunt stupidly. After spending less than 10 yuan in total, he bought all the ingredients that the whole family could eat for two meals.
After thanking the aunt again, Tian Shichang said goodbye and left, and went to the post office to wait for his friend to deliver his bicycle.
There are many students from Xibao Middle School in Xibao Town. Tian Shichang agreed in advance to borrow a bicycle and ride it back to the evening and send it back tomorrow night.
After waiting for less than half an hour, I saw a few students who were not living in the school riding from the front with laughter.
"Chang Fu! Here." Tian Shichang jumped up and shook his hand.
The three bicycles slammed and braked in front of the post office. The student on the right punched Tian Shichang hard and said with a smile: "You boy, you are in a good mood. Does the factory feel good?"
"Okay, they are all new instruments, similar to those in Yang Rui's laboratory." Tian Shichang smiled and said, "I gave me a bonus, bought some meat and vegetables, and went home to make dumplings."
"How much bonus is given?" Chang Fu said as he got off the bike, pushed the bicycle to Tian Shichang, helped him get the cloth bag, and gave him another flashlight, saying, "Slow on the road, push it when going up and downhill, so there is no danger."
Tian Shichang responded repeatedly and whispered: "I've given a bonus of 50 yuan."
"So much!" Not only Chang Fu, but the other two students also exclaimed.
Tian Shichang no longer had the restraint of the school on his face, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "It's because the factory has started construction, and there may not be so many in the future, but it's pretty good."
"What's good, it's great! I want to go to the Westjet factory, so I don't want anyone anymore." The classmate next to me said half-true.
Tian Shichang didn't know how to answer, so he stood there on the spot.
Chang Fu broke the deadlock with a quick straight punch and smiled and said, "Okay, don't listen to him. Xu Peiyun got 342 in the exam this time. In Yang Rui's words, he lost!"
"342? Have you passed the junior college line?" Tian Shichang knew the difficulty of Hongrui Class's questions. He can get 340 points now. He performs normally during the college entrance examination and will not be much lower.
In other words, if the monthly exam in Hongrui class has entered the junior college line, it is very likely that the college entrance examination will be admitted, which is also the concept that Yang Rui has been instilling.
The student who had just spoken was embarrassed and said, "This time I performed well, I may not be sure how much I can take the next time."
"Who are you?" Tian Shichang asked curiously.
"It's the top 10." Chang Fu helped answer.
"It's only half a year before the college entrance examination. If you do this, you might be able to get a bachelor's degree." Tian Shichang suddenly felt a little envious. The feeling of going to college was different after all.
If you are a college student, you will rush to get anywhere. If you want to join WestJet Pharmaceutical Factory, there will definitely be no problem.
Xu Peiyun laughed twice, wanting to be modest but can't help but show off: "Yang Rui also said that I would strive for undergraduate studies. He said that undergraduate studies and junior colleges are completely different, and the difference will become bigger and bigger in the future. Let's try it. I used to think that colleges and technical schools were satisfied, and it would be good enough to be able to go to junior colleges."
Speaking of the latter, he became worried again.
College diplomas were very useful in the 1980s. If all government agencies and units require high education, they should mostly use colleges to mark the lines. Institutions such as universities and research institutes will soon raise their threshold to colleges.
However, after the mid-1990s, college diplomas gradually tended to drag their feet. After 2000, bachelor's degree will be the threshold for high education. This group of students in Hongrui's class, who are less than 40 years old, should naturally prepare for the future.
Tian Shichang felt that everything was fine and said, "You can apply for undergraduate degree with 360 points, and your score is almost the same."
"It's 20 points, who knows how long it will take to pull it up?" Xu Peiyun smiled at the back of her head.
Chang Fu sneered and said, "Who said he wanted to improve by 50 points in front of Teacher Lu?"
"People need to have goals. Without goals, what is the difference between them and dried radish?" Xu Peiyun learned this sentence from Yang Rui. Salted fish is still a high-end product, so it was replaced by dried radish.
Tian Shichang suddenly felt uneasy, and he pinched the cloth bag hanging on the handlebar with his hands before he felt relieved. He said, "It's too late, I have to go back early, you guys go home too. Chang Fu, I'll wait for you here tomorrow afternoon, before 6 o'clock."
"Okay. I'll try to come early. By the way, we're going to visit Hedong University next week. Will you go?"
“Visit Hedong University?”
"It is said that you can enter the classroom and go to the laboratory building, and you can see whatever you want, and the Ruixue Group will include food and accommodation."
If you can't go to college, it's good to go and take a look. Tian Shichang was moved, but he said, "It's not appropriate for me to go."
"Brother Rui said, you are still from Ruixue Group. You can count your share. If you want to go, you will prepare to order out the clothes tomorrow. We will set off on Wednesday and come back on Thursday." Chang Fu said, jumping into Xu Peiyun's car, twisted twice, and disappeared into the night...
