1999

Wu Jiusheng was right, he really did it.The results of the rankings came out as soon as he checked them out. He scored 83 in the elementary practice test and 85 in the elementary economic law test. He lived up to the hard work and dedication of the past half a year, and passed the elementary qualification examination in one go.

The certificate is a dark green booklet with professional and technical qualification certificates written in Chinese and English, and with the national emblem, it is solemn and formal. Hu Da unfolded Wu Jiusheng's certificate in his hand, and read it again and again.

That's great, he was so happy that he couldn't speak.He said earlier that he was right about this little guy, that he was smart and quick-witted, and he could always accomplish anything in one go, but staying in the factory in Pingxiang would be a waste, and he should be more promising than that, much more promising.

It's time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, Huda suddenly came up with this firm belief.

Didn’t the young people say that this thing is called elementary qualifications, so there are intermediate qualifications above the elementary qualifications, and there are advanced qualifications above the intermediate qualifications?No matter how much he has left, let him pass the exam all the way!It is a good age for studying, and it must not be wasted like this.

Just as Hu Da said his thoughts, Wu Jiusheng snorted and laughed.He laughed that Huda was too hotheaded and too excited, and didn't understand the rules of the industry at all.The certificates are so easy to test.He is a layman with zero foundation, and he is considered lucky if he can touch the elementary side.Going up, let alone preparing for the exam, even applying for the exam, he is not qualified.

Hu Da was puzzled. In the end, Wu Jiusheng personally took him with him. He searched out the detailed rules on the computer and showed him. It turned out that the minimum standard for the intermediate qualification application is to have a college degree and corresponding work experience. just work.

A junior college degree is really far away for Wu Jiusheng who has never even taken the college entrance examination.He has already missed his age. If he wants to study now, he can only take the self-examination for adults. Most of the programs for high school graduates require special book reading. Once he is full-time full-time, he has to take training courses. The tuition fees, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses for several years are simply unimaginable.What's more, the self-examination diploma still needs to pass the final exam to meet the graduation requirements. If you fail to pass, all the previous investment will be in vain. Wu Jiusheng dare not make such a score. The risk is too great, and the investment and return are out of proportion.He is content with the status quo, and it's good as it is now, maybe he can find a clerical job with regular insurance in a factory near Ping Township, and work as a cashier, isn't it good?Why bother with those?

But he didn't expect that Huda didn't like to hear what he said.

If Wu Jiusheng kept saying that he didn't like it, that he wasn't interested in this major and work, Hu Da might not have intervened in anything, but the young people's mouths and mouths were all about money, whether it was worth it, as if they were at this stage Every decision must be made to make a profitable business.

But life is not a business, there is only one life, and many things, once gone, will never come back, just like his grandmother, like his youth, the feeling of pain and frustration, Huda understands too well, he never wants to wait until the youth grows up. When I was the same age as myself, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the retrograde regret.As long as he was alive and breathing, he wouldn't allow that to happen.

"What's the problem with money?" Hu Da slapped the computer mouse on the table.

Wu Jiusheng put his hands on his hips, unable to smile.

"Why isn't it a problem?" He snapped his fingers and settled accounts with Huda,

"Lin Jianhua won't come out for two years. During this time, you have to take care of Ye Haoge's recuperation expenses, and you have to pay back the mortgage for the store. Besides, the business form of the collection point is very good. You alone I am too busy now, and I will need help sooner or later. You can’t put all the work on your head and then you will get tired and get sick. If I take the self-examination at this time, it will mean that I have lost a labor force, and I am specialized in it. This set of reading requires me to study specialist courses at school on weekdays, and to study undergraduate courses on weekends and other free time. Only after passing both courses can I get an undergraduate diploma. No matter how hard I try, it will take at least two years to complete all the courses. Then But two years! What a burden I have to put on you during this time, how could I do such a thing! Besides, all the schools for special education are in the city. It's all spent on the road, and the time spent on studying is even less. Once the time is compressed, you have to go to extracurricular cram schools. This is not counting the food, drink and transportation expenses needed to enter the city. After calculation, it is simply astronomical! Not worth it!"

"Then don't run back and forth between the two places like this. Let's go to the city and go live in the city. You can study at ease, and I will go to the city to find a job and earn money. I can support you as well." Hu Da suddenly said, making Wu Jiusheng I was taken aback.

He laughed twice, but didn't dare to take those words seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about," he said emphatically, glaring at Huda. "Here is my home! Why should I leave my own home?"

After he finished speaking, he didn't believe it anymore, so he pushed Hu Da and said, "Don't be serious."

Huda frowned.

"Why can't I be serious?"

"If I really go to study, it will be full seven days a week, and I can't work or earn money. You say you go to the city to find a job, but what about the store? The business in the store is gone?"

"The matter of the collection point is not complicated." Hu Da gestured to Wu Jiusheng in a serious manner, "The courier companies in this area are all old relationships, and they follow the rules when signing orders. The rest is nothing more than hard work and carefulness. Some, keep accounts, and find a salesperson who looks after the store to take over. I think the sixth aunt next door has done a good job before, so I just pay her a full-time salary, and she can still take care of her own store. I’m so happy. Besides, the wages in the city are high. I go to the city to find a job, and I can still make money by throwing away the wages of hiring people in the store. With me, I can also use an electric car to take you to and from school , and even the transportation fee is saved.”

He spoke nicely, but Wu Jiusheng felt that Hu Da was very irrational now.He still shook his head.

"You forgot the most expensive expense." He said, "What about housing? We're going to the city and we don't want our house anymore? Then where do we live?"

Huda touched the scar on his chin and thought for a moment.

"It's easy to solve," he thought for a while, and said, "Let's rent a house near the school, a smaller one, and it would be best to have a stove, so that I can work during the day and cook for you at night. , you are guaranteed three meals a day, and the food expenses are also saved."

He spoke too fast and thought too well, as if everything was right in front of him, light and light, and it didn't seem like a big deal.

Wu Jiusheng suddenly glared at Hu Da, and seriously poked the corner of Hu Da's mouth, which was already upturned in a good imagination, with his finger.

"Uncle Hu, you are a human being, not a spinning machine! Do the math yourself, how long has it been since you took a day off? I thought that if I passed the exam, I would just have a chance to have a good meal and play with you." Let's relax and celebrate, let you take a good rest for a while, it's good for you, you won't take a rest, you don't want to lose the business in the store to outsiders, and you have to pay more for yourself, like young people to go to the city to work? Don't be afraid What's the matter with tiring yourself out and making me take care of you ten years in advance?"

Wu Jiusheng's alarmist words contained jokes, but his concern was not fake at all.Hu Da understood, and smiled very helpfully.

"Oh, do you feel sorry for uncle?"

Wu Jiusheng punched him once, but he didn't want to bend around.

"In short, I just want the two of us to live our own peaceful lives. Don't work too hard. As for me, I can help you share a little bit. It's really true to help you quickly."

"Xiao Jiu—" Hu Da suddenly interrupted the young man's unfinished sentence, and told him in a low voice, "Good life is earned."

When he talked about "earning", a long-lost feeling of passion suddenly surged in his body, as if the self who had just wandered around the southern country by himself when he was just an adult, but was poor and white, but determined to make a fortune in the world, he woke up again. Same as coming over.

Once, he also witnessed the surging city in front of him, and said such a line to himself.

"In this world, no one is easy. Everyone is struggling for life, and everyone has their own difficulties. Just like Pingxiang, Pingxiang is poor, but there are no poor people here who give up on themselves. It's not the same Do you work hard at sunrise and sunset every day? You have been a worker yourself. Tell yourself, just those people in the factory, are there still few people who work hard? Everyone is not slack, let alone us, Because our goal is clear enough, which is to live a good life, a life that is much better than the current one. Xiao Jiu, you said that you were afraid that I would tire myself out, but to be honest, I don’t feel tired at all. Because I have a rush in my heart, it is better than the days when I opened a restaurant by myself and didn’t know what to do, and I don’t know where to go after eating the last meal. I like this very much, and I feel like I hold it in my own hands every day. That’s when we can live in a human way. We are all born in hardships. Children who came out of the countryside should cherish the current state and do everything they can do while they are young. Don’t wait until they are old and can’t do it anymore. I just regretted it. Now whether it is business or your studies, you have just seen a little improvement, and you just want to relax, and you want to be content with the status quo. Uncle is not reconciled. You are a good seed, unlike me. Uncle has nothing in his life The ability, I have recognized it now, but you can. If you work hard to reach the heights you can, because of a little condition and a little money, you will miss it. Uncle will not lie to you, I may regret my whole life because of this. I I like you, I want to call you hello, this is my only wish, and you are so competitive, and you are even more lovable. At this time, if I covet a little comfort in life and ask you to give up everything behind, I will feel ashamed of you. "

Hu Da is usually very restrained, although there will be times when he expresses his feelings directly, it is no different from the primitive behavior of hugging people in his arms and sticking to each other with lips and teeth, and the promises he makes are all simple and simple.He is not romantic, and he seldom speaks sweet words. This time, he will like each other and love each other. Wu Jiusheng wants to be fed a few catties of Erguotou for nothing, his face is so hot that his ears and eyes seem to be smoking.

"I, how can I be so good..."

God, for the first time, he still stutters.Tongue tied, eyes dodged, the posture of resolutely refuting Hu Da just now was washed away, and he ran away without a trace.

How long will it take to make a final decision on this meeting?

Huda was determined not to leave any room for the young man to repent, and wanted him to be convinced that he squeezed the young man's hand like that, and stared at his hesitant eyes with all sincerity.

"Two years, just two years." He seemed to be making a great oath, "Let's go all out. Go to the city and get your degree."
