two years later
Taopo Town has been very lively recently. Not only did the Rong family become the richest man in Xingnan City, but also the Rong family set up a student fund for the town's No. 1 Middle School.
The term "student fund" is very novel in this era, and almost no one has heard of it. After being passed around, it was quickly spread that Rong's family gave tuition fees to all students in Zhenyi Middle School. Fortunately, except for their own children, they knew the inside story The people in the family would help explain, so that the parents in the town and around the town did not go to the No. 1 Middle School of the town, but even so, the big hands of the Rong family were surprising.
To say that the Rong family made a fortune in just over two years, but after they got rich, they built roads for villages and towns, donated teaching buildings and libraries to schools, and other good deeds are well-known throughout Xingnan City. In addition, the establishment of factories by the Rong family and the resolution of jobs have also brought many benefits to each household. This alone is enough for the Rong family to be admirable.
However, the Rong family's solution to the jobs brought economic benefits to the town is only one of them. The most interesting thing is to turn the once poor silkworm farmers into rich households. At the same time, even the town's finances have become rich.
Everyone said that the Rong family became rich by selling silk, but this is not the case. It has only been a year since the Rong family's wealth began to soar.
A year ago, the Rong family formally established the Rong Group in Xingnan City, which integrates home textiles, clothing, and design, officially opened up the international market, and became one of the international groups in the 1990s.
At the beginning, many people in the industry were not optimistic about Rong's entry into this industry. After all, they were just mud legs that came out halfway, but no one thought that the designs produced by Rong's family were not only sought after by domestic upper-class people, but also liked by people abroad. However, in a year, the Rong family's clothing and home textiles have become high-end luxury goods. There is a saying in the industry - if the Rong family makes a move, it must be a high-quality product.
But no one expected that most of the designs came from an eighteen-year-old boy.
"Rong Yu, Rong Yu, you are still painting, the teacher is watching you."
The eyeballs of the teacher at the same table were about to pop out, so he poked him carefully.
They are already in the third year of high school, and it is the last semester. Although it has only been a few days since the start of school, due to the late arrival of the new year, they have less than four months left before the college entrance examination after the start of school.
The Rong family is well-known in Xingnan City, and they have done a lot of good things for Taopo Town. Both classmates and teachers have filters for him. As long as they do not go too far in school, the teachers and principals will respect him. He didn't care much about him, even if he hoped that he could go to a bachelor's degree like his sister Rongyao, and win glory for the school again, he would only remind him vaguely.
Speaking of Rong Yao, I have to talk about last year's college entrance examination. As the most anticipated student in the school, she was followed by the teacher and the principal from the beginning of the exam. University, teachers and principals all cried.
This is the first undergraduate student in their No. 1 Middle School since the school was established!
In addition to Rong Yao's good grades last year, there were also quite a few students who were admitted to junior colleges. The gold content of junior colleges in this era is not low. You must know that there are nearly 3,000 domestic universities in the 21st century, while there are less than 100 universities now. , The real army of thousands of horses crosses a single tree.
When Rong Yu learned this information, the first thing he did was go home and tell his parents that he was going to take an art test. In this way, at least his scores would be helpful, and Rong Yu became the first student in the middle school in the town. Students who want art exams.
After Xie An, who was far away in Beijing, found out, he immediately sent him two well-known painters and fashion designers to assist him in the appearance and art exams.
It was also from then on that Rong Yu provided clothing drawings to the Rong Family Design Company. He followed Ying Xun through the development of the 21st century, and he had been there both at home and abroad, because Ying Xun liked to buy clothes for him, all kinds of famous brands I have seen all the styles. It is not difficult to design fashionable clothes, and the effect is even unexpected.
And Rong Yu lived up to his expectations. Before he was admitted to university, he became a famous fashion designer in Rong's company.
"Rong Yu, are you still in a daze?"
The voice at the same table brought Rong Yu back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw the teacher looking at him. He quickly covered the textbook and the drawings, and then smiled apologetically at the teacher.
He usually doesn't know how to draw in class, but today he was a little restless and couldn't listen to the class, so he picked up the paintbrush unknowingly.
It is now the end of January 1993, just a few days after Rong’s 18th birthday, and yesterday Rong’s father went on a business trip to Beijing, but he didn’t get the birthday present and New Year’s present that Ying Xun gave him.
Since Ying Xun left Taopo Town two years ago, he has been able to receive gifts every year during festivals. Sometimes he sent them, and sometimes his parents just brought them back from a business trip, but this year there are none.
Rong Yu looked at his father's empty hand when he came back yesterday, and was so angry that he didn't even finish his dinner.
Is time really the executioner that wipes out feelings
First I left, then there was no phone call, and then there was no gift.
Rong Yu couldn't help tightening his hand holding the pen, looking down at the blurred words in the textbook, his chest felt sore.
This is his eighteenth birthday!
He thought that the man would come back, after all, it has been two years, but the man did not come back.
The countdown to the college entrance examination entered, and the four classes of self-study did not let the off-campus students dismiss until almost ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the students who lived on campus did not leave until half past ten or eleven o'clock. The remaining hour is not mandatory, so the class atmosphere is very relaxed.
Recently, due to the matter of the richest man in Xingnan City and the student fund, Rong Yu became the focus again at school. After the teacher left after the self-study get out of class, the students couldn't help but surround Rong Yu. Although they were about to take the college entrance examination, the student aid They also have a share in the bonus.
The annual cost of university in this era is about 2,000 yuan. Let’s not talk about the students in the village, let’s talk about the people in the town, or even those who can work in Rong’s factory. The annual salary is only about 2,000 yuan. The treatment in the town is considered very good. You must know that the salary of people working in other small workshops is only more than 1,000 yuan a year.
"Rong Yu, I don't quite understand the announcement posted by the principal two days ago. Is there a subsidy for those who are admitted to junior colleges? Is there any school regulation?"
"Rong Yu, does this only include tuition and miscellaneous fees?"
"Rong Yu, the scholarship award does not include the entrance examination bonus!"
"Rong Yu, if I repeat my studies, can I apply for student funding?"
There was a rush of words, and his face and head grew big. Although he knew about the student funding, he also made suggestions, but the follow-up was discussed by his mother's secretary and the school, and he didn't know the details.
"What are you doing?" The teacher who went back and forth saw the bustling classroom and shouted loudly, and finally stopped everyone, "About the matter of student aid funds, if you don't understand, you can ask the teacher. It's after ten o'clock in the evening Now, go back to the dormitory."
"You have to know that you will get up at five o'clock tomorrow. If you don't take the time to rest, such a heavy classwork will not overwhelm you?" Rong Yu's desks were all pushed crookedly, and the students who reacted quickly straightened Rong Yu's desks and apologized repeatedly.
Rong Yu was not angry either. He just knew what a university in this era represented, so he proposed the matter of student aid. In addition to subsidizing students who are admitted to university, students who are currently in high school can also apply. In this way, the school attendance rate next year It will definitely rise.
"It's okay, it's okay," Rong Yu waved his hand and smiled at everyone, "I don't know the details, I'll ask when the time comes, and I'll get back to you."
The boy's pretty face lost a little baby fat compared to before, making him even more handsome.
Everyone was taken aback by his smile, and didn't react for a while.
The teacher looked around helplessly. Fortunately, the school has strict control over puppy love, and Rong Yu is not a person who would fall in love, which made the school calm. Otherwise, based on the information she knew, Rong Yu really wanted to fall in love, and the school would have a headache.
The teacher started to chase people away, "Okay, okay, don't hang around, I will find time to talk to the university about the student funding tomorrow, go back and rest early."
The students were still a little apprehensive towards the teacher, and hurriedly dispersed after hearing what the teacher said.
"Hee hee, you are really welcome." The deskmate Huang He was a little envious, but he also knew that he was not envious, and was about to pack up his textbooks and leave, when he saw Rong Yu's envelope that had fallen from under his desk, and patted Rong Yu, "You're pen pals again."
There are no mobile phones in this era, and only rich people can use mobile phones. Even when there are few phones, writing letters is a very popular way to make friends. However, the pen pal Rong had with him was not that pen pal, and most of these envelopes were stuffed secretly by classmates at school.
Implicitly say make pen pals, discuss and study together, and boldly ask if you want to go to the library to study together. The envelopes are collected almost every day. In the peak period, there are always a few envelopes on the desk after morning exercises, even on weekdays. You will also receive one or two letters during class breaks and absences.
When Rong Yu heard what the tablemate said, he gave an acknowledgment, bent down and picked up the envelope, but did not open it, but neatly stacked it on the exercise book, packed up two books, and asked, "Yellow River, do you want to go?"
Huang He also lives off-campus, and his home is in the town, so he and Rong and his family are on the way. Sometimes I walk with Rong Yu, sometimes I stay for another hour.
"Let's go!" Huang He replied.
The two turned around with their things, a figure disappeared at the door, and the two looked at each other.
Huang He smiled: "It must be the person who stuffed the letter for you, trying to block you, or I'll go first?"
Rong Yu couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head, "Let's go together!"
He was really afraid of facing this kind of situation. The girl who was more cheerful was fine. After she refused, even if the other party pretended to be forceful, she would smile and leave. Some girls have delicate thoughts, and when they are rejected by the person they like, they sometimes have red eyes or tears. Often at this time, Rong Yu is very at a loss and doesn't know what to do.
Huang He saw what he meant, walked out with his arms around his shoulders, and said, "Actually, there are quite a few beautiful girls in our school. I remember a girl whose family has business cooperation with yours, right?"
Rong Yu said with a smile: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, and studying is important."
Huang He laughed: "Pfft, I know, you like girls who love to study, I heard that all the girls who confessed to you have gone back to study, and one grade has risen from 100 to 50 in the whole class. "
Rong Yu: "..."
Seeing Rong Yu's unbearable expression, Huang He couldn't help laughing, "You know what? There is a saying among the male classmates."
Rong and Wuwu asked: "What?"
Huang He turned his head and said formally: "Learn the reminder machine."
Rong Yu: "..."
"Seriously, what kind of girl do you like?"
"have no idea."
Rong Yu never thought about this question. In his previous life, he died before he was enlightened. The only time he was close to love was the kiss after graduating from the college entrance examination.
Under the dim streetlights, one person was chattering, while the other person's cheeks were slightly hot, and his heart was beating a little fast.
When the kiss happened in his previous life, he was only shocked, but before he recovered, the Ying family couple asked him to leave the Ying family, and then he returned to Linshui Village, then went to Shanghai, and finally died.
At that time, he seemed to be pinched by a pair of ruthless hands and walked forward. He never thought about that kiss carefully. Even after his death, when the picture of being kissed appeared, he quickly threw it away, not daring to think about it.
After rebirth, he dared to touch even more, because from that kiss, he, his family, and Ying Xun seemed to start a tragic life.
"My cousin is the same age as me, and the child is one year old," Huang He was still chattering, "My mother also told me that if she doesn't pass the college entrance examination, she will go home and get married."
"You really don't have a favorite type?" Huang He turned around and returned to his body.
Ying Xun's face appeared in Rong He's mind again, but as before, he shook his head vigorously, shook the picture away, and replied, "I don't know."
Huang He: "How could you not know, you..."
The two chatted while walking, and after passing the vegetable market for a short time, they finally arrived at Huang He's house, and Rong Yu's ears were also released.
The road from the vegetable market to Rongyu is not dark. As early as two years ago, Rong's family installed street lights for him, so that he could go to school at night, and the warm light made Rongyu feel cold in January. A hint of warmth, occasionally bumping into workers returning home from get off work in Rong's factory, also kept him from being too lonely walking alone.
"Xiao Yu, there are guests at your house. Your parents don't seem to be there. He followed a box and stood there for a while."
The aunt who was coming towards me saw Rong Yu after class, and called out from a distance.
Rong Yu was still thinking about something, and he couldn't react when he heard the words: "Guest, what guest?"
Auntie has limited adjectives. After thinking about it, she said, "I don't know. I'm about the same age as you. She dresses really well, just as good as you. She also looks good, stronger and taller than you."
Rong and his heart skipped a beat, the heart in his chest jumped uncontrollably, the speed was so fast that he felt a slight pain in his chest.
Rong and his mouth opened again and again, he wanted to ask: Yes, should it be—
The words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't get them out, his brain was slightly dazzled by the anticipation, and he was reminding himself in his heart that the aunt didn't know him, he, he—
"Xiao Yu!"
The low voice carried infinite nostalgia, just like in his previous life when he saw Ying Xun missing himself, he hugged his photo and called out in a low voice.
Turning around suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of her eyes.
He is back.
