Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

Even though he knew that he would pass the exam, Yuan Xia was still overjoyed. He suppressed his joy and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Ma Jianshe put his arms around Yuan Xia's shoulders: "Great, Yuan Xia, you have been admitted to university, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" He didn't dare to be too happy, because Ma Jianshe didn't go online and only passed the exam in his early [-]s.

Ma Jianshe sighed: "I really envy you, I have to repeat my studies for another year."

Yuan Xia patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Two years in high school are too short, if you study for another year, you will definitely pass the exam, come on!"

Before their car was parked, Yuanchun and Chongyang rushed towards them, and Yuanyuan shouted: "Big brother, big brother, notice, Yuecheng University!"

Yuan Xia's brows were filled with joy, he reckoned that the notice would arrive in these days, and asked someone to stay at home to wait for the notice.

Ma Jianshe exclaimed: "That's great, a key university. I'm so envious!"

Yuan Xia can only be silly.

Yuan Xia jumped out of the car and took the envelope from Yuan Chun. The Yuecheng University printed on the envelope was very eye-catching. When he opened the envelope, it was indeed his first choice to fill in the report.

He couldn't hide his excitement, and finally got admitted to his ideal university!

Many people in the dormitory poked their heads out: "Yuan Xia, congratulations, you have been admitted to university!"

There are two small speakers, Yuanchun and Chongyang, and everyone has already publicized the fact that Yuanxia was admitted to university.

People in the factory have been talking about this for a long time. Some are envious, some are happy for him, and some laugh at Hu Meilian's short-sightedness.

Yuan Xia is so promising and has the ability to make money. Hu Meilian has suffered for a few years now, and will enjoy the blessings in the future. Why bother to leave five children and go to other people's homes to help other people's children? Could it be possible that her stepchildren will support her in the future?

Chongyang said excitedly: "Brother, can that big rooster be killed?"

Yuan Xia laughed: "Let's go home and boil water to kill chickens."

The big rooster was bought by Yuan Xia from the countryside a few days ago. The villagers were reluctant to sell a hen that laid eggs, so they sold him a rooster that weighed four to five catties.

This chicken is reserved for this day. It has been kept in a cage for several days and crows at regular intervals every day. If the notice does not come, the neighbors will come to complain about nuisance.

The water was boiling, and when Yuan Xia was holding a kitchen knife and a rooster and didn't know what to do, grandpa came back.

Knowing that Yuan Xia was admitted to university, Yuan Dehou laughed so hard that he lost his eyesight: "Okay, okay, great! If your father is still here, how happy he would be." He smiled and cried again .

Seeing the old man's turbid tears, Yuan Xia's nose was a little sore: "Grandpa, let me go back before school starts, and sweep my dad's grave."

Yuan Dehou sniffed his nose and wiped away his tears: "The fare to go home is too expensive. It costs more than 50 yuan. It costs [-] yuan for a round trip. It's not worth it. Let's wait until later. Write to your aunt and let her Go and sweep for you, and tell your dad the good news by the way."

Yuan Xia suddenly understood why grandpa only came to Suyang once, not because of motion sickness, but because the travel fare was too expensive.

He nodded: "Okay, let's go back after we make money, everyone go back and have a look."

"Okay." Yuan Dehou wiped away his tears, "I'll kill the chickens. It would be great if I were in my hometown. I raised a dozen chickens, and I gave you two aunts before I left. They can lay several eggs every day. Well. You are in the city, and you can’t eat chicken once a year.”

Chongyang couldn't help swallowing when he thought of chicken legs: "I want to eat chicken legs."

Yuanchun said: "The chicken leg is for my elder brother. He has passed the university entrance exam. This chicken is a reward for him."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "I'm already this old, I'll give you all the chicken legs I want to eat. I love chicken feet."

"Brother, you lied to us, the chicken feet are all bones, there is no meat, so what is there to eat?" Yuan Dong didn't believe it.

Yuan Xia smiled: "You don't understand, chicken feet have the taste of chicken feet, you will understand when you grow up." They definitely don't believe that chicken feet will be more expensive than chicken in the future.

Yuandong pursed his lips: "Anyway, I don't like chicken feet, I just like chicken, and chicken breast is the best!"

Yuan Xia laughed, chicken breast meat is the worst, and it is the most unpalatable part of the chicken.

The family happily ate chicken to celebrate Yuan Xia's admission to university. Yuan Xia said that when he got out of the car, the whole family would go to the photo studio to take a family portrait together.

The younger ones were very excited when they heard that they were going to take pictures. The whole family only took a picture once, and it was when Chongyang was one year old.

Yuan Xia felt that they should take a photo every year, and also leave a little trace of their teenage years.

After Yuan Xia received the notice, he went out to drive for a few days, and the owner of the car finally came back after finishing his family affairs.

Ma Jianshe returned the car to the other party and distributed the money they earned to the car owner, and he and Yuan Xia shared the rest of the money equally.

They ran for a total of 21 days and 117 times, and distributed 58.5 yuan to the owner.There was 172 yuan left. After deducting the gas fee and the expenses of eating out at noon, there was 123.56 yuan left, and each person got 61.78 yuan.

The income of driving is much higher than that of going to work. No wonder so many people want to learn to drive.

Yuan Xia's school start time is September 9th, and there are less than 5 days left. He still has a lot of things to arrange in these days.

The most important thing is to rent a storefront for grandpa so that he doesn't have to move every day.

Yuan Xia focused on the vicinity of the school. After comparing several schools, he finally decided to rent a shop on Xiangyang Road.

Xiangyang Road has the best Xiangyang Primary School and Suyang Middle School in the county. Yuan Qiu studied in Suyang Middle School, and Yuan Dong also entered this school after school started.

Yuan Xia decided to transfer Yuan Chun to Xiangyang Elementary School, and Chongyang also went to elementary school. Although it was a little far away from home, they could go to grandpa's bookstore for lunch at noon, and they could help grandpa take care of the shop, and they would go to school together after school. go home.

Since the bookstore is going to be opened on Xiangyang Road, the target audience is primary and middle school students, in addition to comic books, more literature and history books should be prepared, Yuan Xia decided to go to Yuecheng to buy a batch of books back.

If Ma Anmin didn't go to Yuecheng before school started, he would buy it and mail it back after school started.

After running around for a few days, Yuan Xia finally found a store. It is located between Xiangyang Primary School and Suyang Middle School. It is a room in a private house with a monthly rent of 5.5 yuan.

The house is relatively big, and he plans to ask his grandfather to build a bookcase to separate it. The front is used as a storefront, and the back can be used for cooking.

After the shop is set up, the Niu family's house will be returned, and Yuan Dong will sleep in the shop at night in the future, and he can live here when he comes back from vacation.Everything is aimed at reducing expenses.

Yuan Dehou was afraid of spending money at first, but after hearing Yuan Xia's arrangement, he thought it was good. He only spent two yuan more than before to own a storefront.

What's more important is that it is close to the grandchildren's school, and the children have a place to eat at noon. He is very satisfied with this.

Optimistic about the storefront, Yuan Dehou began to make bookshelves, tables and chairs.Not only are bookshelves made on both sides of the wall, but also a bookshelf in the middle of the house is separated from the back.

In the future, you can also rent books and sell books or stationery at the same time. With such a small shop, it is enough to maintain the basic life of a family.

Yuan Dehou listened to his grandson's plan and marveled at the child's foresight.Opening a rented bookstore is indeed much more reliable than his carpentry. Carpentry requires not only skill but also strength. As he gets older, he becomes more and more powerless, and he can't do it for many days.

But renting a bookstore is much easier, just sit there to register and collect money, and don’t worry about being exposed to the sun and rain. Although the income is not much, it is enough to support the family.

As the school year approached, the bookstalls began to take back the books one after another, and gradually stopped borrowing them, so they could only read books here.And inform everyone who borrows the book the location of the new store, if necessary, you can go there to read books.

So before the store opened, the advertisement was made.

After Hu Meilian learned that Yuan Xia was admitted to university, she came back, but there was no one at home when General Tie was guarding the gate.Yuan Xia and grandpa went to buy wood, while Yuan Qiu and the others were at the bookstall.

Hu Meilian learned about her family's whereabouts from a neighbor, and rushed to the Children's Palace to take a look. After a summer vacation, the children were all tanned, but they were all healthy and happy, and no one expressed sadness when they saw her. He was so happy that even Chongyang didn't get close to her anymore.

Hu Meilian took ten yuan to Yuanqiu and asked her to give it to her brother.

Yuan Qiu refused to accept it, Hu Meilian cried: "I am your mother, not an outsider, this is money for your brother to go to college, you take it."

Yuan Qiu said in a low voice: "My brother said that he has a living allowance every month when he goes to college, and we don't want your money."

Hu Meilian said: "Then he will have to spend something else. If you don't take it, you don't think of me as your mother. Xiaoqiu, are you blaming your mother?"

Yuan Qiu bit his lip and didn't answer, but he didn't push the money back.

When Yuan Xia learned that Hu Meilian had sent ten yuan, she was a little dumbfounded. It would be better not to send it. Is she missing the ten yuan?After receiving her ten yuan, she still felt how much kindness she had given herself.

But he didn't send it back, not because he couldn't find a place, but because he didn't want to see her, and he couldn't escape to support her in the future.

It is impossible for Guo Zhiqiang's children to provide for her in the old age, and their brothers and sisters cannot escape the obligation to support her. Let's talk about it when we have to see each other.

For the rest of the summer vacation, Yuan Xia helped Grandpa prepare the bookshelves and furniture, arranged the book rental store, put up the signboard of "Yuanfang Bookstore", and bought everything that needed to be added.

Yuan Dehou also made a detachable wooden bed, put it away during the day, and put it together in the shop at night to sleep.

At the end of August, they closed the bookstall and moved to a shop. The business was slow at first, but after the elementary and middle schools started, the business boomed.

Yuan Xia was also completely relieved, took Yuan Dong here to stay for a few nights, and repeatedly told him some things, such as pay attention to fire prevention, don't be careless, the room is full of books and wooden shelves, which are materials that are extremely easy to catch fire .

Yuan Dong said that he had already remembered it in his heart, and he would definitely be more careful.

On September 9th, Yuan Xia carried her luggage on her back, took the whole family's ardent expectation and deep reluctance, and embarked on the train to Yuecheng to start a new life.

At the end of the 70s, the trains were not too crowded, because the investment attraction had just begun, and most of the foreign investors were on the sidelines. They were still looking at this mysterious and unfamiliar eastern country with scrutiny. There were no private companies recruiting workers, so there was very little turnover of people. .

Of course, Yuan Xia knew that this was the last moment of tranquility before the noise.In the sound of "clang clang clang" wheels hitting the rails, he heard the sound of the Chinese dragon's pulse getting stronger.
