Epiphanies of Rebirth

Chapter 25

The admission letter arrived two weeks later, and two letters were sent at the same time in the midst of Hu Yu's daily anticipation and anticipation.

When her eyes landed on the huge four words on one of the envelopes, she swallowed, and her hands began to tremble when she tore the envelope.

Yan City University!

Lin Jingzhe actually fulfilled his seemingly impossible wish! She has also become the first person in Liyun to be admitted to Yanshi University since she taught!

What's even more surprising than this is Gao Sheng's share, he was actually admitted to Wutong University!

This year, the college entrance examination is difficult, and the candidates in the whole province are a little bit abnormal, especially in local counties and cities, such as a city next door that pays more attention to education. Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible for major colleges and universities to enroll students in accordance with the admission scores of previous years. Gao Sheng applied for a major that lacked students, so with a score of 2 points above the admission threshold, he slipped to a thrilling stop. Under the sycamore tree.

The results of the second model can still be used as a reference. Zhou Haitang did better in the test. He was seven points higher than Gao Sheng, and of course he also got the admission letter from Wutong University.

Deng Mai was admitted to a college in Yan City, majoring in... kindergarten teacher? However, he planned not to go to college early on, so many children were spared. To this end, there have been countless quarrels in the Deng family. Deng Mai's father, Deng Fengshou, received the notice of taking office in June, and has changed from deputy bureau to chief director. This person finally stepped into the most difficult career in middle age. Threshold, the old police officer with unlimited future achievements insists on arranging for his son to go to the police academy or enlist in the army, so that he can serve the people after graduation in the future. Diametrically opposed.

Deng Mai is a person who occasionally jumps out, but is actually quite assertive. What he believes will not be easily changed because of other people's advice.

Deng Fengshou was almost mad at him, and the family quarreled every day. The mother couldn't persuade the two stubborn donkeys, so she could only wash her face in tears. Deng Mai had no choice but to hide in Gao Sheng's house.

"Alas." Deng Mai poured a few cups of tea from the small tea cup that Lin Jingzhe poured out, together with the small pot of tea that had been chilled next to it, into the enamel jar, raised his head and drank it, sighed, "They Why don't I understand, I really don't like reading."

Lin Jingzhe stopped soaking, and he threw the small copper pot in front of Deng Mai, thinking that you should drink water.

Gao Sheng sat on the stool and read the few books that Lin Jingzhe bought from Shenshi. The stool was too short. He sat there as if he was squatting, and listened absently to Deng Mai's complaints.

Deng Mai rambled on for so long, and the central idea was that he hated reading so much that when he thought about it, he wanted to die. Lin Jingzhe could see that.

He didn't feel that he should be persuaded. Some people in this world are not suitable for reading, and the melon is not sweet. Forcing him to enter the school, he is just messing around.

Deng Mai has no thirst for knowledge. He is smart, has high dual quotient, and can draw inferences from others. This ability has never been shown in learning, but has been applied to the details of daily interactions with people.

When he was studying, he was able to manage the group of young people in the fifth class who were not convinced by anyone. When Jing Zhe was busy at work, Gao Sheng and the others had almost all their day-to-day activities arranged by Deng Mai. This child born and raised in Liyun City speaks with an accent. Apart from being novel, he does not show a little inferiority complex. At the same time, he arranges the two little friends properly and eats delicious food. Walk around the area.

For a person like Deng Mai, reading is by no means his only way out. Moreover, in the 1990s, opportunities are everywhere, and his possibility is much greater than that of Gao Sheng.

Lin Jingzhe said: "No hurry, take it slow, the change of concept requires a process."

Deng Mai was moved to tears, and threw himself on Lin Jingzhe's knee: "Brother, really, only you understand me."

Lin Jingzhe thought about who is your brother and whether you are older than me. Hu Yu came in from the door with a carp, and when he heard the words, he swept his disapproving eyes.

"Nonsense." She said to Lin Jingzhe, "Don't talk to him, anything else is fine, not reading! You don't understand now, but when you grow up, you'll know how important reading is."

Lin Jingzhe smiled but did not say a word, and motioned to Deng Mai to shut up and keep quiet. From Hu Yu's point of view, her opinion was also very reasonable.

Deng Mai knew that his brother Lin would definitely have a way to save him from the sea of misery. He smiled and grabbed a book from Gao Sheng that explained basic business concepts and financial development in an easy-to-understand language, and flipped through it randomly.

Hu Yu sighed in his heart while killing the fish.

It's not for herself, she has nothing to worry about. After the official establishment, from salary to benefits, her treatment has improved a lot, and she also won the bonus awarded by Lin Jingzhe to the head teacher of the school after he was admitted to Yanda University. She has a lot of money at the moment, so Lin Jingzhe has been staying at home these few days. She buys mutton from turtles, and every meal she turns over flowers to replenish her body.

She sighed about the future of these children.

The children are going to go to school in Yan City, which is thousands of miles away. It's so far away that even an adult like her has never been there. This group of stinky boys who don't know anything went there alone. They can take care of themselves. What

Will they not eat well, dress warmly, or sleep? Will you be bullied or get into trouble without anyone restraining you

On the other hand, Lin Jingzhe's schools and majors made her satisfied, but Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang's admission majors made her unable to understand.

Computer major

She had some regrets in her heart. When she saw the name Wutong University, she thought the children were just playing around. If she had known earlier that this wish would become a reality, she would definitely have stopped these rambunctious boys.

Computer major, isn't that just learning computer? What can computers learn? I have only heard of this stuff, and no one in Quanliyun City has seen it installed. When the previous principal, Tao Fangzheng, was clamoring to buy one for the principal's office, Hu Yu had a little understanding, and only then did he realize that the computer was so expensive, and a machine cost ten or twenty thousand!

Later, Tao Fangzheng left, and the new principal, Qu Yuan, immediately canceled the huge expenditure, and the legendary computer became an unfinished dream.

So what's the use of learning this stuff, you say? ! Is it possible to find a job or to be able to eat? !

When the oil pan was hot, Hu Yu slid the carp into the pan and fry the skin with the bursting hot oil until it was crispy and slightly charred.

She was not satisfied with this inexplicable major, but she was really reluctant to bear the title of Wutong University. Before that, she never thought that her unsatisfactory brat could be admitted to such an excellent famous university.

Forget it, Hu Yu thought while pouring rice wine into the pot, since he passed the exam, let him go.

After all, it is Wutong University, no matter what major, if you return to Liyun after graduation, it is impossible to find a job, and maybe you can go to work in the provincial capital.

She turned off the heat, served a plate, and sprinkled with finely chopped chives.

Lin Jingzhe, who was sitting in the room after finishing the chessboard, heard a call: "It's time to eat!"

When Lin Jingzhe was eating the fish roe that was caught in the bowl, he suddenly remembered, it's been a few days, the stocks in the Shanghai market should have already started to rise, right

******

Shen Shi, a securities company, Tian Dahua hurriedly parked his car on the curb, got out of the car as if burning his butt, and hurried into the building.

The building was already crowded with investors watching the market, he squeezed the crowd and looked up, his heart trembled violently—

It's up again! It's up again!

He seemed to have swallowed a pot of boiling hot oil, his stomach turned hot and hot, he bit his fingers, his expression changed from excitement to remorse, and it was indescribably complicated.

With his eyes fixed on the market, he pulled out his eldest brother and called an acquaintance. As soon as he got connected, he asked urgently, "Did it succeed? Did the transaction succeed?"

The acquaintance over there wondered: "Brother Tian, it's all skyrocketing recently, and there are too few people willing to sell. It's not that I don't want to help you. I really tried my best, but I can't buy it!"

"Oops!!" Tian Dahua was sweating profusely, stomping his feet, "Just help me think of a way!"

"Sure, I'll buy it for you once someone sells it, but Brother Tian, you have to know that things in the market are out of my control, and I really can't guarantee you." After the other party sincerely explained the difficulty , couldn't help adding another sentence, "Oh, you should have bought it earlier. Those who bought it earlier have become rich by now."

After Tian Dahua hung up the phone, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "You still need to say it?!"

The heart was like being roasted on a fire with iron skewers strung together. Tian Dahua wiped his sweat and looked weakly at the few investors around who had the same contacts but couldn't make a successful transaction. He couldn't help feeling pity for each other.

It feels like stacks of banknotes have grown legs and wings, wiping their palms and flying by in front of them. As long as they are business people, who can stand this!

He couldn't help but think of the young man who had dealt with him not long ago and left a deep impression on him. The other party bought the 500,000 shares at the lowest price on the opening day of the market. The turnover was almost It accounted for one-tenth of all the turnover in the morning market on the opening day of the exchange. He didn't want to say anything except convincing.

The innocent face of the other party, which is always smiling, is now in his analysis, and the trembling of every hair is full of shrewdness. How can there be such a foresighted person in this world? It's like knowing the prophets. To be able to buy such a huge amount with such a big wave of his hand, and to be free and easy after the transaction is successful, he doesn’t stop for a moment, and he just leaves.

Tian Dahua originally thought that it was the rich young master who didn't take 500,000 seriously, but now it seems that the other party has already foreseen this prospect.

A week before the opening of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the market began a steady and orderly rise. More and more ordinary people began to try to understand the stock market, and the contents published in the Shenshi Daily in the following days were also related to this. Tian Dahua watched all the time, and his uncertainty was dispelled by the rising curve. Finally, one day, a leader with the word "country" appeared on the front page of the Shenshi Daily. Full of praise and encouragement.

At the same time, another influential news came back that the stock exchange in the SAR will be opened soon!

This is the hidden meaning of the country to vigorously develop stocks and securities! The financial circle of the whole country is boiling over this. Yan City, Special Economic Zone... Countless people from outside the Shanghai city rushed to hear the news, completely blocking the already lively distribution market. The big households asked people to find relationships, and the retail investors squeezed inwards with their money in their hands.

Tian Dahua couldn't hesitate any longer, he finally decided to go into the water.

But at this time, the pond was full of competitors, and there were no fry to be caught.

There are not many stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Under such a crazy snatch, the stock price has soared all the way, and the upward arc is almost a straight line, but it is all empty.

Because few people are willing to sell.

The transaction volume has dropped sharply. Tian Dahua has nothing to do but stare. He is asking his acquaintances to pay attention to retail investors, but others may not be as broad as him. There are many monks and few porridges, and one share is hard to find. The eight immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers. At this time, taking Lin Jingzhe's purchase of 500,000 yuan of technology as an example, the stock price has more than doubled.

That 500,000 has doubled to more than one million, and it's only been over half a month! Other than those with their heads tied to their waistbands, what business can beat that profit? !

Many workers even quit their jobs and started professionally guarding the market, and a new industry seemed to have emerged overnight. Looking at the market is like a sweet torture. Tian Dahua regrets his indecision, but he can't help but come to witness history once a day.

******

Qunnan, Li Yun, and the grand occasion of the SSE have already spread here.

But most ordinary people in this era are not interested in this. Except for a few surprises, the stock market is more like a strange world full of traps to them.

Lin Jingzhe usually doesn't read newspapers very much. When he saw the contents of the three or four tofu cubes, it was already a month later, and his 500,000 yuan had already doubled in this period of time. Several times, the value has soared to more than two million.

Lin Jingzhe flipped over and put it down. There was no strange fluctuation in his heart. Compared with this, it seemed that the half-packed luggage in front of him was more important.

Zhou Haitang's father also took leave today and did not go to the factory. He sat at the table with Deng's father, Deng Fengshou, and they both smoked the cigarettes Lin Jingzhe brought back from Shenshi.

Deng Fengshou squinted at the newspaper. He didn't know much about the world outside the system, and was rather amazed: "Hey, capitalism has begun to be launched with great fanfare outside."

Father Zhou shook his head: "We also have people in Liyun, just the two workers in the coal factory. After the factory heard about it, they were fired directly. You said it was done, and the jobs were gone."

Deng Feng has a heart: "We have to be down-to-earth, step by step, don't keep making these false things, it's nothing to do!"

Gao Sheng and Zhou Haitang, who were folding clothes, looked up at each other and looked at Lin Jingzhe together with Deng Mai.

Lin Jingzhe returned his eyes expressionlessly and warned them not to talk nonsense. Out of the corner of the eye, he caught a figure, and quickly turned around with a sensible smile: "Aunt Zhou."

"Hey!" Mother Zhou came in from outside holding a jar, with a kind face on her face, "Jing Zhe, didn't you say last time that Auntie's pickled eggplants were delicious? Auntie just picked some fine eggplants, and they were very tough in the sun, so I made them specially. One can for you to eat at school. Hey, don't take it, don't take it, this is heavy, I put it in Haitang's bag, and you ask him to help you mention the school dormitory."

As he spoke, he stuffed a few bottles of small dishes such as bamboo shoots with pickled radish sauce into Zhou Haitang's bag, as if he was afraid that the children would not be able to eat in Yan City, and he was so busy inside and outside that his feet did not touch the ground.

Hu Yu and Mother Deng flipped through the old newspapers and researched there, exclaiming from time to time—

"Minus 20 degrees? How cold is it? This winter in Yan City is too scary. What was the lowest temperature we had last winter?"

"Minus five degrees? It's too cold anyway. Is there a big difference between minus twenty and minus five?"

Deng Fengshou showed an unbearable expression: "Does it need to be said? The difference of fifteen degrees, can the sky of twenty degrees be the same as the sky of thirty-five degrees?"

Mother Deng shook off the cotton-padded clothes that had been packed in the bag, and repeatedly touched: "I guess it's not thick enough..."

"Give them money and let them buy them at school!" Father Zhou patted the table and said to his wife, "Okay! Don't stuff it, the bag is about to burst for you, why don't you put the briquettes? The stove is also stuffed in?"

The parents were in a mess, and Lin Jingzhe wanted to laugh. He and a few friends squatted there to try on the cloth shoes that the mothers had to pay for.

The soles of cloth shoes are very hard, but they absorb sweat and breathable, and they are very cool to wear. The mothers have good aesthetics, and the style is very similar to the fisherman's shoes that have become popular in the streets and alleys of later generations.

Wearing the white casual clothes and stepping on the cloth shoes, he carried his extra light duffel bag (this is also made by the skilled mothers), and only put some necessities and a few summer sets in it. Thinner change of clothes, say goodbye to big parents.

The scene was silent for a while. The mothers' eyes secretly turned red, and they gathered together to wipe their tears. The fathers were suffocating their heads and smoking a cigarette without saying a word.

"I don't think so." Father Zhou was still a little worried, "I'd better take a leave of absence..."

"I really don't need it." Lin Jingzhe had already refused several times, but he still refused with a smile, "The four of us are together, and we can take the train to the provincial capital directly to Yan City, and the person who picks up the freshman from the school will wait at the train station. There will be no problem here. How many days do you have to go back and forth, and how much time will you have to delay, regardless of the price of the ticket?"

The elders of this family, Hu Yu can’t leave as soon as school starts. Mother Deng and Mother Zhou have never traveled far. It’s even more dangerous to come back after sending people away. The antique case in Deng Feng’s collection is coming to an end, and the entire task force is led by him. , I'm determined not to leave, Father Zhou...

Recently, the thermos factory has been trying to find faults and lay off a group of employees. After this vacation, he will not have to work when he comes back.

Lin Jingzhe had the intention to let him and Zhou's mother start their own business, but it was too early because the time had not come and the capital was all in stocks.

Everyone is well aware of the many difficulties. Fathers are very guilty. It is really irresponsible that their children cannot see them off when they go to college for the first time.

Mother Deng wiped her tears and brought her own small waist bag, tied it around the waists of several people, and warned: "The tuition fees and living expenses for the past six months are all sewn into it, and they are tied around your waist. Dead knot, you can open it when you pay the school fee, you know? Don't talk to strangers on the road, don't eat food ordered by strangers, don't sleep too hard when you sleep in the car, everyone takes care of each other, be careful !"

Deng Mai gave Lin Jingzhe a look, Lin Jingzhe nodded without looking, motioning him to accept it first.

After tying up the money, they began to send tolls. After paying the three children, the mothers just gave Lin Jingzhe 100 yuan.

Lin Jingzhe pushed back and said, "I really have money on me!"

"You keep it! What are you talking about!" Hu Yu sniffed and shoved it into his pocket, patted him on the back unreservedly, and looked up at him with an expression like crying or laughing, " Brat, when did you grow so tall?"

The parents took their children to the bus, and kept telling all the precautions along the way. They had to get down until the bus was about to drive away.

Father Zhou smoked a half-pack of cigarettes. He looked at his son's face, and he was full of sorrow at the same time.

My son is going to study in Yan City, and he will be a college student in a few years. He and his wife are willing to hide the dilemma of borrowing money from everywhere some time ago.

After the car started, Deng Fengshou caught up, reached into the car window and slapped his iron palm on his son's forehead, shouting, "You have to study hard when you go to school!"

Deng Mai wiped his tears, stuck his head out and waved to him, turned around and sat back in the car, the young man with a hippie smile burst into tears for the first time: "I'm sorry for my parents!"

Lin Jingzhe turned his head and quietly watched the group of people who were left behind. They chased after a few steps, but their figures were still getting farther and farther away. After the bus made a turn, they finally disappeared completely.

He sat upright, looked at Deng Mai, who was in tears, and sighed softly.

"Then do you want to read?"

Deng Mai hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"After arriving in Yan City, I'll take you to apply for a passbook, and send the tuition back to your home in a few months, so you can say that you earned it from part-time work." Lin Jingzhe patted Deng Mai on the shoulder quietly, Quan Zuo comforted. .

In the past few days, new students have started to report. There are many people going to the provincial capital. An additional group of shuttle buses have been dispatched from the station. After landing in Qunnan, Lin Jingzhe actually saw a few acquaintances in another car that got off.

Yu Zhiliang called him from a distance, and then ran over quickly, he stood in front of him, looked at Lin Jingzhe's luggage with some envy, and asked, "Classmate Lin Jingzhe, are you going to Yanzhe? Have you registered for City University?"

His parents followed closely behind, carrying a pile of things, and the skinny father even carried a quilt on his shoulders.

"Oops! Classmate Lin Jingzhe, it's such a coincidence to meet you. I've heard Yu Zhiliang say that you are the number one student in our city in this exam! You were also admitted to a very good university in Yan City!" Yu Zhiliang enthusiastically Without saying a word, the mother took out a few crumpled money and stuffed it into Lin Jingzhe's hand, but Lin Jingzhe refused, and she said a little embarrassedly, "You child, we Yu Zhiliang can have all of them today. Thank you, why are you being so polite to Auntie?"

"That's right." Yu Fu, who was taciturn, also smiled restrainedly.

"I'm really not short of money." Lin Jingzhe held Yu's mother's hand and persuaded warmly, "Yu Zhiliang has to buy a lot of things after he goes to school for a while, auntie, keep it for now, if you really want to thank me, next time I'll go to your house for dinner when I get a chance."

Yu's mother was overjoyed: "Come, come! Be sure to come!"

Yu Zhiliang looked at his parents' worn-out clothes with complicated eyes, and then looked at Lin Jingzhe's lack of impatience. After a long silence, he said softly, "Classmate Lin Jingzhe, I wish you a smooth journey."

"You too." Lin Jingzhe just nodded lightly to him.

A few more familiar figures appeared not far away, Lin Jingzhe looked at it subconsciously, and unexpectedly found that it was Jiang Run and Jiang Xiaoyun.

I don't know why they didn't drive but took the bus to the provincial capital. In general, the three people who came came with big bags and small bags, and their faces were not so good-looking. Jiang Xiaoyun looked a lot haggard. After getting out of the car, she raised her head and looked around, frowning as she looked, not knowing what she was complaining about, until her eyes slammed into Lin Jingzhe.

She was stunned for a moment, and it took a while for her to regain her senses. Her expression immediately became extremely complicated, and she quickly turned her eyes away as if being stinged.

Probably aware of her abnormality, Jiang Run and Jiang's father Liu De also raised their heads and looked over. After seeing Lin Jingzhe, they immediately froze there like Jiang Xiaoyun.

After returning to his senses, Jiang Xiaoyun no longer complained. He pushed the father and son on the back and urged them to leave.

It was also found that their Deng Mai was attached to his ears. He stopped crying now, and quickly returned to the character of the little king of gossip: "I heard that Jiang Run did not do well in the test this time, and he didn't fill out his volunteer. Parents originally wanted to find a way to buy points for him to go to Qunnan University, but after the results came out, the score was nearly 30 away, so they had to give up."

Yu Zhiliang and his parents said goodbye again and left. Jiang Run's family hurriedly disappeared outside the station exit carrying their bags as if they were being chased by ghosts.

Jiang Xiaoyun walked out of the station, already sweating profusely, she looked back carefully, and after confirming that Lin Jingzhe hadn't followed, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Liu De looked at her doing this with cold eyes, and his heart was miserable, so he only lit a cigarette with his head down.

Jiang Run's mood was very complicated. The moment he was pushed away by his mother, he felt the earth-shaking difference between himself and Lin Jingzhe.

Lin Jingzhe should go to Yan City, right? He is the No. 1 scholar in the city, and the news of being admitted to Yanshi University has already spread among the students of a middle school. His name has almost become synonymous with Quan Liyun's parents' "children's family".

I met Yu Zhiliang and Yu Zhiliang's parents in the same car just now. They probably knew the inside story of the previous scramble for the recommended places. Yu's family was extremely annoyed by their attitude. Liang is still the focus of the topic. There are always parents of freshmen in the car talking about his upcoming admission to Qunnan University.

Every time this topic was brought up, it was as if a sword had been inserted into Jiang Run's heart. He shrunk in his seat, buried his head lower and lower, and his back bowed and bent.

He always felt that all the students and parents in the car were looking at him with strange eyes.

And now, Lin Jingzhe was about to leave for Yan City, and Yu Zhiliang was also picked up by the brothers and sisters from Qunnan University who were guarding the station. Only he was like a mouse pulled out of the gutter with his tail between his tail, and he was sullen. Go to the school he didn't want to go to at all.

Jiang Run sniffed, not knowing who he should hate, he stopped the car and said softly, "It's so hot, if we knew we would meet them, why don't we drive by ourselves..."

Jiang Xiaoyun paused slightly when she heard the words. She glanced at her son, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

She kept the child a secret and didn't tell him, in fact, the family car had been sold before his college entrance examination. No way, the company's capital can not be revolved.

There is no backer who can help, and Section Chief Wang, who had finally managed to get in touch before, is also yellow. Knowing that the real estate development has been very difficult recently, and the money to sell the car is far from enough. Jiang Xiaoyun has already sold a set of provincial funds left to her by her father. House in the city with the hope of getting through this difficult time.

She sighed and couldn't figure out how it was so difficult for her. Her husband, who used to be sullen and angry in the past, has become more and more eccentric recently. She finally stopped a car, and after getting in the car, she had to say sarcastically: "You You have such a good relationship with your sister, and I did my best for her, why did she not come to pick you up when she finally came to Qunnan?"

"Shut up for me!" Jiang Xiaoyun was stabbed in the sore spot, and immediately turned into anger, his eyes were sharp.

Now she has no regrets in her heart, and the falling out with Section Chief Wang started when Jiang Chacha intervened. Jiang Xiaoyun hated Jiang Chaya so much that she couldn't sleep or eat. She never imagined that this older sister looked so smart before, but in fact she was a good-for-nothing thing.

Don't say that Jiang Chacha didn't come, even if she did come, the first thing Jiang Xiaoyun did was to pounce on her and scratch her face!

The trains of the 1990s had not yet picked up speed. They drove slowly and wobbly. Fortunately, the swaying arc was very comfortable, like a baby's cradle.

The familiar scenery outside the car window passed by one by one, passing through several caves, and the inside and outside of the tunnel gradually became indistinguishable.

At the beginning, Gao Sheng and the others were full of novelty about the sleeper carriage, running back and forth, or leaning against the window to watch the scenery outside. But the novelty was exhausted after a dozen hours.

At this time, Lin Jingzhe missed the high-speed rail of later generations, and felt amazing in his heart, but in just over 20 years, the technological development in this world has reached such a rapid level that he is unacceptable to many low-efficiency things at the moment.

In every corner of these changes, there are business opportunities that he regards as treasures.

Thirty hours later, Yanshi Railway Station.

The moment he stepped onto the land with his luggage, Lin Jingzhe looked at the familiar and unfamiliar things in front of him.

This is a new journey that begins here.
