1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 38 Prove yourself
In her previous life, Hu Bifang was able to change from being self-deprecating to being cheerful and cheerful. The influence of her family on her must have been huge.

Without a happy family and a man who loved her, she would not have become like that.

It is said that hard work pays off. From the fact that the other party supports Hu Bifang to go to school, it can be seen that the two of them really like each other.

But love is not just a matter between two young people, it also involves the families of both parties.

In the previous life, Hu Bifang disappeared quietly. Because they were not in the same class, no one in the dormitory knew about her situation. Everyone was just surprised and wondered why this person didn't come.

At that time, Meng Shulan read books all day long and prepared for exams every month. Occasionally, when she looked at the empty lower bunk, she would think of her roommate who spoke softly and walked with a hunched back.

In the vast sea of people, Hu Bifang in the previous life was just a passer-by in Meng Shulan's life, coming and going in a hurry. She soon forgot about this roommate with whom she had once interacted for two months. It was not until that person appeared in her ward with something in her hand that she realized that the person she had long forgotten was still thinking about her somewhere.

After being reborn, Meng Shulan wanted to help her, but her current abilities were very limited. Moreover, in matters like this, outsiders could only offer suggestions and help think of solutions. If one wanted to completely change the status quo, the efforts of the parties involved were the key.

Meng Shulan: "The final exam is coming up at the end of the month. Time is limited, and it's too late to work hard. I think you should have a good talk with the Zhou family.

Zhou Yan's mother is forcing you like this because, to put it bluntly, she is worried about you. She is afraid that you will fly too far and never come back, and her son's efforts will be in vain.

You try to prove yourself, allay their concerns, and get support to go further on your academic journey.”

Although the market has been open for a few years, the capable ones will emerge victorious.

But studying is still the stepping stone for many students to change their destiny. People like Gu Hansong are a minority after all. Most people earn low wages and do mechanical work to support their families, just like Hu Bifang and Zhou Yan in the previous life.

Going to university not only frees you from the hassle of assigned work, but also allows you to broaden your horizons and make like-minded friends and classmates. You have many more options than ordinary people.

Prove yourself...

Hu Bifang's tears were about to come out again.

"Shulan, I've tried many times and even asked my dad to write a letter of guarantee to their family, but it's useless. His mother only cares about grades."

Meng Shulan thought for a moment, "Maybe she feels that just talking doesn't guarantee anything, and she wants something more practical. For our school, if you're not in the top ten in your grade, it's certainly difficult to get into university. But after graduating from high school, you can apply for jobs in the city. At least you'll have a salary, which is better than doing farm work at home."

There is such a way after graduating from high school, but there are so many graduates every year, and in recent years there are also educated youth returning to the city waiting. It is not easy to become a worker through recruitment. If your family does not have some connections and conditions, there is no need to think about it.

Hu Bifang was not comforted. She hung her head and said nothing, unable to eat the meal in her hand.

Meng Shulan added, "I know recruiting workers is difficult, but society will change in the next two years. A friend of mine who often goes to the city said that many companies are expanding their workforce. There are also some new public-private partnerships and factories that are hiring independently. They can't afford to hire outside college graduates, but they are particularly welcoming to high school students."

Meng Shulan just wanted to tell Hu Bifang about the upcoming social changes and didn't want her to fall before dawn.

In the coming wave of reform, there will be a huge demand for talent, and the high school diploma obtained in recent years is also very valuable.

At present, Hu Bifang obviously lacks confidence in the college entrance examination, so Meng Shulan wants to calm her mind and overcome the current difficulties.

Independent recruitment?

Hu Bifang became interested in what Meng Shulan said. She asked with some surprise, "Shulan, are you serious?"

Meng Shulan: "Of course, why would I lie to you. And..."

Meng Shulan leaned closer to her and said mysteriously, "My friend also said that in the next two months, the government will officially open up to private enterprises. Many places in the city have started pilot programs. There will be many job opportunities in the future. Not only high school students, but anyone who can read and write will have a chance to work."

Meng Shulan remembered that in her previous life, the first license was issued in early December. It was reported in all the major newspapers and widely circulated. She spoke so sincerely, even knowing these insider information, how could Hu Bifang not believe her?

only……

"Shulan, is your friend very powerful?"

For example, he is very capable and has connections and relationships outside.

Meng Shulan was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, she is amazing."

I can praise myself.

Hu Bifang also smiled and said to Meng Shulan in a flattering tone: "Shulan, can you please do me a favor?"

Meng Shulan: "You say."

Hu Bifang: "I've already figured out what to do. You're right. Even if I can't get into college, having a high school diploma is still better than most people. Always be prepared. You never know when an opportunity will come your way."

My boyfriend's family actually thought about this, but since we are all from the same village, we don't know any powerful people, and we don't have the connections to help me find a job with a high school diploma.

So, can you make your friend my friend? I'll just be perfunctory for now, and then I'll work hard. If I can get into college, that would be great. If not, I'll find something to do and try to repay their help."

In the past year, more and more people have set up stalls in the town. Hu Bifang didn't have the time to care about these things before, but after Meng Shulan mentioned this, she felt that something was different.

What does it mean to turn your friend into my friend?

Meng Shulan didn't quite understand.

Hu Bifang quickly explained, "I just said that to them, letting them think I have this connection. Actually, it's just talk. I won't bother your friend, so don't think too much about it."

Hu Bifang's face turned red as she spoke, and she felt as if she had become dishonest and vain.

Meng Shulan, however, felt that this person was not only timid, but also kind-hearted, and was afraid of causing trouble to others.

Compared to those who take it for granted that they can ask for help from others, she is much better.

Meng Shulan: "Just go ahead and ask for help. If you really need help in the future, you can come to me. As long as I can help you, I will."

In the afternoon, Hu Bifang took leave and went home, and did not come back at night.

Meng Shulan didn't know what she talked about with the Zhou family or what efforts she made. The next day at noon, Hu Bifang returned to school and came to her in the classroom on the second floor with a smile on her face. She said she wanted to thank Meng Shulan and stuffed a boiled egg into her hand.

Seeing Hu Bifang's happy expression, Meng Shulan guessed that her problem should be temporarily resolved.

When they went to fetch water together at night, Hu Bifang briefly explained the situation.

The Zhou family has already been persuaded and is willing to give her a chance to graduate from high school, but Hu Bifang also has to make some sacrifices. From now on, although the wedding banquet has not been held yet, she is considered a member of the Zhou family and has to move in with the Zhou family when she goes home on weekends.

Meng Shulan: “…”
