Zhou Jian is a man with an unattractive appearance.
He was only 1.6 meters tall, but he was an inspirational example of this period: Zhou Jian, whose family was extremely poor.
Originally, in this life, he was just a person working in the production team, earning 8 work points.
——Because Zhou Jian's body is too thin.
The scorekeeper in the production team equates him to the female labor force: he can only be given 8 work points.
No more points can be given!
This is not because Zhou Jian is proud, but because he is worried about other people's opinions.
Work points in the production team are inherently worthless.
Now, Zhou Jian and his wife can only earn 8 work points, which adds up to 16 work points a day.
There are two parents on top, and two children on the bottom who are waiting to be fed.
Zhou Jian and his wife worked in the production team from dawn to dusk all year round. Even so, the family often had to eat one meal at a time.
Zhou Jian, who refused to obey his orders,
After work every day, do your housework.
He would study hard with the faint light emitted by the torch made of bamboo poles.
Zhou Jian cannot afford textbooks.
So I went to the waste paper pile at the purchasing station, licking my face, begging my father to sue my grandma, and let the staff at the purchasing station.
Agree with him to go to the paper pile and buy the textbooks that others don't want at the price of waste paper.
This guy,
Relying on this hard work and unwillingness to accept fate, he became a self-taught person.
Zhou Jian spent a full 10 years cramming all the courses in junior primary school, senior primary school and junior high school at home.
Then Zhou Jian applied for Jiangnei City Technical Secondary School.
As the old saying goes, you can’t learn skills in your thirties.
That means: After a person passes 30, whether it is memory, comprehension, or the ability to accept new things.
It will all drop a lot.
At this age, it is often no longer suitable to learn anything more, more professional technical knowledge.
Because Zhou Jian has a weak foundation.
So much so that when he applied for the Intermediate Vocational School in Jiangnei City, he failed again and again.
Zhou Jian faced huge criticism and incomprehension from his family, relatives and friends, as well as members of the production team, cadres and the masses.
I have always gritted my teeth and persisted.
This guy has been taking the exam for 4 consecutive years!
In the end, Zhou Jian got his wish and was admitted to Jiangnei Vocational College, majoring in animal husbandry.
Nowadays, Zhou Jian can no longer earn work points in the production team.
However, since he now has a student ration.
Therefore, Zhou Jian's own survival will not be a big problem in the school.
But the problem is: his family is really too poor! Not only is Zhou Jian in school unable to afford food.
Instead, he had to save a little more than half of his quota of grain.
I have to carry it home hard every month to support my wife, children, and two elderly people at home...
In this period,
People like Zhou Jian have gotten married and had children, and then went back to school to study in secondary schools or even universities.
Actually a lot.
Especially in another 1 or 2 years, when G Agricultural and Bing University recruits people with established roots in all walks of life to enter the university for further studies.
By that time, all the children in the family will be doing soy sauce, and he himself is still in college,
There are many of them.
After Luo Xuan, Peng Yong, and Wang Bing finished eating, they wandered into the fields outside the school.
"How about we follow the way we treated Yu Guijun in school and help Zhou Jian?"
"Above Heaven"
Peng Yong suggested: "It's just that in the past we asked Yu Guijun to help fetch water and food, and be responsible for the hygiene in the dormitory.
At that time, Brother Luo Xuan, you said that if he performed like that, he would be able to become a work cadre."
Peng Yong excitedly suggested: "This time, if we let Zhou Jian do the work.
We will give him money directly, or food stamps, or vegetable stamps as his reward."
Wang Bing clapped his hands aside and said, "Okay, okay, this is a good idea! Anyway, our family conditions are much better than those of Zhou Jian's family.
Everyone can help him with a little bit of pocket money. At least let him not have to eat bean paste bibimbap for lunch every day, right?"
As for the meals in the school, because the Education Bureau attaches great importance to the physical development of students, it has allocated funds to subsidize the meals in the school.
So the meals in the school are actually not expensive.
A vegetarian dish only costs 7 cents.
As for the meat dishes that are stir-fried with a mixture of vegetarian and pork dishes, one serving is between 15.25 cents.
This is mainly based on the amount of meat inside, so the prices of the dishes vary.
I saw the two people talking enthusiastically.
Luo Xuan snorted coldly: "What kind of bad idea is this? That guy Yu Guijun is just an official fan.
He wants to get an official position in school so that he can compete with his brothers at home and replace his father in the post and telecommunications office."
Luo Xuan said: "As for Zhou Jian, he is obviously different from Yu Guijun.
When a person is poor, he pays special attention to his face and cares about other people's attitude towards him.
What if we ask Zhou Jian to help us fetch water for washing our feet, fetch food, etc., and then give him food stamps and vegetable stamps?"
Luo Xuan explained: "Even though he may say thank you on his lips, in his heart, he actually feels very aggrieved.
Over time, this will cause problems!"
In their hearts, Peng Yong and Wang Bing had an inexplicable admiration and trust for Luo Xuan.
When they heard that Luo Xuan didn't agree with the plan just now.
They couldn't help but ask in unison, "Then how should we help him?"
"What help? Helping the urgent but not the poor."
Luo Xuan said: "Zhou Jian now has a fixed ration of 31 kilograms every month. This income is much higher than what he used to earn working points in the production team!
He has survived all these years.
Now that the conditions of Zhou Jian's family have improved, do you think he will still be unable to survive?
Most people go to school and study for three years.
When the time comes, he can go back to the commune and be assigned a job. From now on, his life will only get better day by day.
There's no need for us to be here and worry about him eating nothing."
Regardless of what Luo Xuan said, he was talking about this set of reasons.
actually
There was another worry in Luo Xuan's heart that he didn't say at all and couldn't say:
The incident of being hit in the head by his roommate was still fresh in Luo Xuan's memory.
He is also a person of excellent character and a particularly filial person.
But in the end, he couldn't stand the humiliation of living under others for a long time, and his worthless dignity destroyed by poverty.
If your roommate behaves in a more exaggerated manner.
I'm afraid there will be a day when someone can't help but burst out.
This Zhou Jian is so strong and hardworking. Doesn't he just want to get ahead and make his family live a better life?
For a person with such enthusiasm, we can only have double respect for him.
Instead of bossing him around and shouting around.
If you do that, over time, you will lay a root of trouble for yourself!
to be honest,
If he adopted the bad idea proposed by Peng Yong, Luo Xuan would rather take advantage of Zhou Jian's meal and go out for a walk.
On his only way, throw 5 and 3 pieces on the ground to give him an unexpected surprise.
This is better than asking Zhou Jian to wash everyone's feet and earn a share of money to buy vegetarian food.
The effect is much better...
A leopard emerges from a withered man.
For a person like Zhou Jian who is extremely self-respecting and self-reliant, it is best not to provoke him.
School has just started.
Leaders such as the principal, dean, and staff director who have been lonely for a holiday...
I have been so depressed for a long time!
Everyone had just come to work and the fresh energy had not worn off yet, so the principal, vice-principal and others quickly organized one meeting after another.
After the general meeting, let's have a small meeting.
The small meeting is over, and there will be a meeting in private...
These leaders and teachers are busy in meetings, but they make the students confused.
Luo Xuan's major in animal husbandry is a very unpopular one.
There are only about 20 students in the class, both men and women.
On the second day of school,
The head teacher said something: "You should introduce yourselves to each other first, so that the classmates can get familiar with each other. I will go to a meeting and I will come back."
Then he left for a whole morning.
Luo Xuan is not very interested in making friends with his classmates. In the class, he only knows Zhou Jian now.
I don’t know any of the other 7 or 8 female classmates and the male classmates in their early 10s.
It is indeed a junior college.
Except for ideological and political education, the textbooks issued this time are all highly professional books without exception.
"Postpartum Rehabilitation and Care of Sows", "Key Points of Three Major Fish Breeding and Water Depth Distribution", "Key Points of Goat and Sheep Breeding", "Outline of New Artificial Insemination Technology", "Detailed Explanation of Cow Birth Canal Structure"...
The students in the class now,
They all gathered together there, introducing themselves to each other and chatting about anecdotes and customs of their respective hometowns.
Luo Xuan, on the other hand, was sitting in the last row of the classroom, concentrating on reading.
"Hello, classmate, I am Bai Shuzhen."
A cheerful female voice sounded next to Luo Xuan, "What's your name, and which county are you from?"
Bai Shuzhen?
You might as well tell Bai Suzhen, so I can remember it better.
Luo Xuan raised his head and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a big tree!"
"What tree?"
"Where are the trees?"
Bai Shuzhen turned to look out the window, then grinned: "This classmate, you are so interesting! The walls full of ivy outside the window are regarded as trees by you?"
Luo Xuan could only pretend to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, so that's a creeper?
I said its leaves are so dense that they can cover the top of the windows on the third floor.
How tall and big is that tree?”
Bai Shuzhen covered her mouth and smiled, "Giggle...my name is Bai Shuzhen. This classmate, you haven't told me what your name is yet!"
Luo Xuan said: "Oh, my name is Luo Xuan, from Jiangnei City."
Bai Shuzhen was stunned: "Luo Xuan? That's a nice name. But which county are you from?"
Luo Xuan replied: "I am a resident of Jiangnei City."
"ah?"
Bai Shuzhen opened her mouth wide: "Are you from the city?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
Bai Shuzhen's face was full of doubts: "Since you are from the city, why did you come here..."
"I like learning this."
Luo Xuan buried his head and continued reading: "Raising more patriotic pigs for the country and providing adequate meals for the broad masses of the people is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of every passionate young man among us."
"oh..."
Bai Shuzhen nodded, "Then...Student Luo Xuan, you are busy, I will leave first."
"goodbye."
Luo Xuan's registered residence is in Jiangnei City, so there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a city resident.
Mountain people, members of the community outside the mountains;
City people, country people;
There are working people and unemployed people in the city.
Latte rice bowl and public family...
In fact, the guy didn't say anything.
But in private, there is still a complete chain of contempt in everyone's heart.
The reason why Luo Xuan said that he was from the city was actually because he wanted Bai Shuzhen to retreat in spite of the difficulties.
If she hadn't said this, Bai Shuzhen would definitely have continued to argue: Rongwei County?
Very good place,
My second uncle's third cousin married a woman from your Rongwei County... Hey, which commune in Rongwei County are you from?
Maybe, she is from the same production team as you...
Bah bah bah, it’s endless.
Luo Xuan was really not interested, so he chatted with the strong man named Bai Shuzhen...
