"roll."
…………
Time flies so fast, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and we have arrived in 1977.
"Brother Zhou, are you leaving?"
"Let's go, Xiao Wu, the third book on your right is misplaced, it should be on top."
Zhou Chen passed by the first floor and said hello to Xiao Wu, a new employee in the library. Then he pointed to a book on the bookshelf and reminded Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked at it and found that he was indeed wrong. He took the book and was about to thank Zhou Chen, but found that Zhou Chen had already left.
"Brother Zhou is really awesome. He actually remembers the location of the bookshelf I'm in charge of."
At this time, an old employee next to him came over: "Of course Zhou Chen is great. He has read the most books in our library. Most of the translated books were translated by him. It's hard to say
It’s an exaggeration. We can do without anyone in our library, but we can’t live without Zhou Chen.”
"Brother Zhou, how powerful is he?"
"What do you think? I heard that several libraries want to poach Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen and Director Zhao are uncle-nephew, so it's useless for anyone to poach him."
…………
Zhou Chen rode home, took out the meat he bought in the morning, made fried meat, and made two vegetarian dishes. Just as he was about to eat, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door and saw two familiar faces, Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu, I was quite speechless.
"I said you two are stupid, you came here just in time for the meal."
Yang Huajian turned to Mao Tutu and said with a smile: "Tell me, we are here to give money, but they are not happy anymore. Why, Zhou Chen, don't want the money anymore?"
Mao Tu sniffed his nose and said with a smile: "I smell meat and wine."
"come in."
Zhou Chen led the two of them into the room, added two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat at the table.
Just as Mao Tutu was about to take the money from his bag, Zhou Chen stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let's eat first."
"OK."
A few dishes and a bottle of wine, the three of them finished it quickly.
After finishing, Mao Tutu took out his wallet again, took out three stacks of money, and handed it to Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, as you ordered, I stopped our business and converted everything into cash. This is your portion, a total of three thousand, no more, no less."
Zhou Chen took the money and put it aside. In this day and age, three thousand yuan is really a huge sum of money, but in Zhou Chen's eyes, it's just like that.
He is currently working in the library and can get more than a hundred dollars every month for various expenses. Add in their business, and his annual income is not low.
Mao Tu asked hesitantly: "Zhou Chen, are you really sure what you told us before?"
Yang Huajian also asked curiously: "Yes, Zhou Chen, I asked my dad, and my dad said that there is indeed such an intention, but the final result has not come out yet. Why are you so sure?"
Zhou Chen replied unhurriedly: "Don't worry about why I am so sure, just believe me. Either at the end of this year or at the beginning of next year, the college entrance examination must be resumed. I asked you to stop the business for your sake. Now
Although your business can make money, compared with going to college, which one do you think is more important?"
Yang Huajian said: "Needless to say, it is definitely more important to get into college. Although the supply and marketing cooperative method can make money, it is not sustainable, and the bigger you do it, the greater the risk. You might as well stop it."
"I just feel it's a pity. We finally laid out the dishes, but now we just give up."
Mao Tutu's face was full of pity. He had single-handedly brought about this incident. He was the one who was most reluctant to give up now.
Zhou Chen said: "It's no pity. Believe me, there will be more ways to make a lot of money in the future. What's more important now is to get into college. If you get into college, you will be more successful in your career or other things in the future."
That is to say, they have a good relationship and often play together. Otherwise, he would not have told them in advance about the resumption of the college entrance examination.
Mao Tutu sighed: "Business is on the one hand, but on the other hand, even if the college entrance examination resumes, I have no confidence in passing it. I haven't studied for so many years, and I didn't even go to high school. Now I'm starting to study again.
It’s simply too late.”
Yang Huajian also has this concern, but he has more on his mind.
"What Zhou Chen said makes sense. No matter whether you can pass the exam or not, you still have to work hard. It is right to stop the business."
"By the way, have you told Han Chunming about this?"
Zhou Chen said: "I haven't seen that boy Han Chunming for more than a month, and I don't know where he went to collect his things."
Yang Huajian smiled and said: "This kid is really good at collecting rags with gusto. There is really no one else with this mentality."
"By the way, Zhou Chen, there is one more thing. I have discussed it with Lu Hong and others before, and we are planning to hold a gathering of educated youth. It has been more than two years since we returned to the city, and we have not had a gathering so far. Now we can find a time
Get together, let’s all get together to chat and drink.”
Zhou Chen shrugged and said: "I don't care. If you want to hold it, I will participate. Just let me know when and where. I don't care about the rest."
Educated youth gatherings are similar to future class reunions. They say they are gatherings, but in fact they are more about showing off. After all, we have not seen each other for more than two years. On the one hand, we want to connect with each other. On the other hand, many people want to see what other people have.
Not living as well as myself.
