In the 1980s, secondary school was better than high school, or it could not be said that it was better. It should be said that many people with good grades would choose secondary school instead of high school.
Even in the past few years, when secondary school and high school are placed together, many people will choose a special school.
After all, if you are a junior high school student, you will be able to work after three years. If you are in high school, not to mention whether you can be admitted to a university or not, if you are admitted to a high school, you will have to study for at least six years!
But Shi Zhen knew very well that in a few years, the secondary school would be gone.
Students who have graduated from technical secondary schools now can become elementary school teachers and even enter the hospital, but it will not be certain in a few years.
In the year of his death, the best hospital in the county-level city of Changxi City recruited doctors, requiring at least graduate students.
Therefore, it is better to read high school and enter university than to read secondary school.
Guan Baiyu can even continue to read, graduate, doctorate, as long as he wants.
As for whether Guan Baiyu can be admitted to university... Shi Zhen has confidence in him.
He was born to read, and also likes to read. After being with him for three years in his last life, Guan Baiyu passed his university diploma and planned to become a teacher.
It's a pity that something happened before he became a teacher.
Shi Zhen said to Guan Baiyu: "Reading is a good thing, and it's not wrong to study for a few more years. Don't worry, I have money and will let you study."
Guan Baiyu didn't speak, and looked at Shi Zhen in disbelief.
Shi Zhen smiled and said, "Don't look at me now that I don't have any money. In the future, I will definitely have money. I won't be so poor all the time."
If someone else said that, Guan Baiyu wouldn't necessarily believe it, but this person in front of him... Guan Baiyu suddenly wanted to believe it.
Shi Zhen said again: "Xiaoyu, I believe you will be admitted to university... You can set a goal for yourself now. If you know where you want to go and are willing to work hard for it, the whole world will give in to you!"
Shi Zhen poured some chicken soup into Guan Baiyu.
Guan Baiyu, who had just eaten the chicken frame, obviously drank the chicken soup firmly, his eyes seemed to light up, and his expression became serious when he was reading.
Shi Xinghuo had nothing to do, and the big man in his twenties sat beside him all the time, looking at Guan Baiyu's eyes... full of admiration.
Shi Xinghuo's grades were a complete mess. He only read elementary school, so let's go... Anyway, at the end of the exam, he will write his name.
In fact, if he was born after 2000, in a one-child family, even if his mother got sick while pregnant and took medicine and hurt his brain, he would not have learned anything.
Teach more, he can always recognize some words.
But he was born in the 1970s. He was the same age as him in their village. Some of them had no problem with IQ and didn't read much, not to mention him.
There were some leftovers from the two chicken racks that Shi Zhen simmered at night, and so was the rice.
But this is not enough for the three of them to continue eating tomorrow morning, not to mention that Guan Baiyu has to bring rice to school, so he will let Guan Baiyu cook some porridge tomorrow morning.
As for himself, he plans to go to the vegetable market again.
Shi Zhen went to the vegetable market yesterday and found that many people now go to buy vegetables early. Maybe he can go to the vegetable market to do some part-time jobs in the morning.
The stalls in the vegetable market have to pay the booth fee. He can't set up a stall inside, but he can set up a street stall outside the vegetable market, right
Even if you can't make a few dollars, it's better than nothing, and you can learn about the market.
In his last life in business, he encountered many problems and saw the ups and downs of people around him, but his path has always been smooth. In the final analysis, it is because his steps are never too big.
This made him miss some opportunities, but it also prevented him from being able to stand up even if he fell.
Shi Zhen went to the vegetable market this time. In addition to observing, he also asked about the prices of many vegetables.
There are not many kinds of vegetables sold in the town, and many of them are brought to the town for sale by people nearby. For them, the vegetables in the field do not require much capital, so they are very happy to be able to sell them for a few cents. , the food is also very cheap.
It is difficult for him to make money by selling vegetables, unless he grows some vegetables that other people don't have and sells them in the town, he will have a chance to make more money.
This way doesn't work.
Thinking like this, Shi Zhen went to the stall where he bought meat yesterday, and spent a dollar to buy a pig's tail.
He remembered that the pigs later had very short tails. The pigs at this time probably had a breed problem and the tails were very long.
But he mainly buys pig tails for cheap... A pig tail costs one dollar, put some soy beans and braise it, and they can have a meal.
Nowadays, many people in the countryside don't eat meat several times a month, and go to the town to buy vegetables and only buy tofu, but Guan Baiyu is so thin, he wants Guan Baiyu to eat something good.
Thinking so, Shi Zhen said cheekily: "Master, can you give me some meat?"
The meat seller glanced at Shi Zhen and said, "I want to sell the meat skin, but it's quite cheap, do you want to buy it?"
Today's people will not waste any corners of the pig's body.
Shi Zhen asked, "How do I sell meat skin? I don't have any money on me..."
"I have some shredded skins here, and I'll give you two cents." The man took out some shredded meat skins.
Shi Zhen bought it for two cents without hesitation.
As soon as he finished buying, he saw an amiable man in his thirties with a white face and a smile on his face.
Without saying a word, the meat seller chopped up a piece of meat that weighed about two kilograms and gave it to the other party.
The man took the meat and walked away with a smile.
Shi Zhen glanced at it, didn't take it seriously, and went home with his pig tail and meat skin.
He saw soybeans in Guan Baiyu yesterday, so he soaked some in water.
After the soybeans are soaked in water, it is particularly fragrant when used for stewing pig feet. He can't afford pig feet, but pig tails and meat skin can also make do.
When Shi Zhen returned, Guan Baiyu had already cooked the porridge for the morning.
Shi Zhen asked him to pack the rice and chicken racks left over from last night in a cup and take them to school, and then drank porridge with pickles.
After eating, he washed the pot, then put the soybeans and pig tails into the pot and simmered them. After starting the fire with straw, he stuffed a piece of rotten wood that Guan Baiyu picked up, about the thickness of his arm, and kept it. Slowly burn it in the stove, and when they come back in the evening, the stewed pig tail with soybeans is almost ready.
The three went out separately.
After going out, Shi Zhen counted the money on him.
His previous savings were only in his early thirties after spending one pass. When he first saw Guan Baiyu, he was very happy, and directly gave Guan Baiyu thirty dollars, and he only had a few dollars left.
And his wages for digging river mud have not been paid yet.
Fortunately, Shi Xinghuo's dredging wages were paid on a daily basis, and Shi Xinghuo also gave him half of the money every day as living expenses.
Guan Baiyu was growing, Shi Xinghuo and he had to do physical work, he wanted to find a way to make everyone eat better.
When Shi Zhen ran to the construction site, it was almost time to start.
Wang Chengfa was a little unhappy: "Shi Zhen, you were almost late."
Shi Zhen hurriedly said, "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, I rent a house here, and I don't have a clock at home, so I can't tell the time."
He is also telling the truth.
If Guan Jianguo hadn't placed a clock in the main room of his house, he could go to see it from time to time, and he wouldn't know the time at all.
And today will be late, mainly for a bite in the evening.
"Okay, okay, let's go to work!" Wang Chengfa waved his hand and asked Shi Zhen to go to work.
Shi Zhen immediately put on his shoes and went down to the river pond, working diligently.
