Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 3: University? I just don’t want to go
Two days later, in the early morning, just as the sky was getting light, a 28-meter-long truck carrying a woven bag was moving on the bumpy country road, making a clattering sound.

A few people followed behind him, and they were walking towards the bus station at the entrance of the village while the villagers were still not getting up to work in the fields.

Although Cao Yongan agreed to let his son go to the south, it would be embarrassing if people knew that this kid didn't go to college but went to work.

Sometimes, spit can drown people.

"Brother, I heard that people in the south speak differently from us. What should I do if I can't understand them when I go there?"

"Practice your Mandarin well. If you can't speak well, just imitate them."

"Brother, it seems that people in the south eat rice. Is there any place that sells noodles?"

"Don't worry, you won't starve to death!"

Before getting on the car, the third brother was already excited. He was carrying a big bag and asking Cao Jian all kinds of questions.

When they arrived at the station, Li Chunlan held her son's hand and whispered instructions to him, with reluctance in her eyes.

Cao Yongan silently unloaded the woven bag from the bicycle and squatted on the side of the road, smoking silently.

Fatherly love is sometimes more implicit than motherly love, but that cannot be said to be non-existent.

He originally wanted to send his son to the train station, but the brat was afraid of the trouble of running back and forth, so he firmly disagreed.

Cao Jian also understood that his parents were worried about him.

Even so, I still have to go on. At worst, I can return home in glory and make my parents proud.

Not long after, a bus came wobbling over.

Cao Jian smiled at his mother and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I might be back during the Chinese New Year."

"Don't fight or cause trouble when you go out, and eat well."

"understood."

The car stopped. Cao Jian hugged his mother, then picked up the woven bag and said to his father, who had been silent the whole time, "Da, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he took a look at the familiar village and got on the bus without hesitation.

"This kid, when did he learn this trick?"

Li Chunlan's eyes were wet with tears at her son's sudden hug, but she complained with a smile on her face.

Looking at the moving car, she waved to her son by the window with tears in her eyes until the car went farther and farther away.

She really didn't know what kind of life her son would become after he left.

Although it was only more than 50 kilometers, the minibus wobbled for more than three hours before arriving at the provincial capital.

The city is filled with Panda Panpan signs and the song "Asian Pride".

But when we got to the train station, the scene immediately changed.

"Young man, would you like to stay at the hotel? We have some very pretty girls here."

"Young man, would you like to wash your hair?"

"The video parlor has a good movie today, 20 cents per person."

Around the train station, middle-aged women kept coming up to say hello, trying to attract the two young customers.

Cao Jian went straight to the waiting hall without looking around. After waiting in line for half an hour, he finally bought a train ticket to Yangcheng (Guangzhou) the next morning.

The ticket price is 78 yuan, which is not cheap, and the journey takes more than 30 hours.

"You're going to suffer."

Cao Jian had ridden a green-skinned train before, but the first time he rode for such a long time was when he went to Shanghai in 2000.

"Brother, I've bought the tickets, how about going to watch the video?"

Just now, when Cao Wei was outside the train station, he heard that there was a good movie and he understood what a good movie was.

This is very tempting for young people with hot temper.

"What's there to see? Maybe I'll take you there to take some photos later."

What kind of movies had Cao Jian not seen before his rebirth?

What kind of thing do they need to watch when they are crowded in a smoky video room with a group of people huddled in front of a small TV?
"Just brag."

Being rejected, the third brother Cao Wei was obviously disappointed.

I feel like this cousin is pretending to be serious.

Don’t cultured people watch this kind of movies?
The area around the train station is very chaotic, so Cao Jian naturally doesn't want to stay there at night.

The two men boarded a tram consisting of two sections, which had a tall electric pole on top and sparks popping at the connection points of the wires. They arrived near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the southern suburbs.

There are many universities here, so it's safer to live in an area like this.

After finding a hotel and settling in, the two wandered around.

On the way, several children were playing with Kisses helmets, running and shouting: "Wearing Kisses helmets, hugging King Kong, and sleeping with Mickey Mouse and Ikkiu at night."

After hearing this doggerel, Cao Jian wanted to grab a child and ask, "Have you forgotten Xi Rui?"
There is a very famous dumpling restaurant nearby. The mutton dumplings are very delicious. Cao Jian used to like to eat here.

The dumpling restaurant is crowded with customers in the evening, including local residents and many college students.

When the two brothers entered the restaurant, several tables were already full of people.

"Brother, girls in the city really look different." Cao Jian was looking for a seat when the third brother next to him touched him and pouted.

"You only know how to look at girls."

Cao Jian scolded him softly, but couldn't help but follow Cao Wei's gaze.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Cao Jian was stunned for several seconds.

The girl was about the same age as herself, with a face full of collagen and a bit of baby fat.

However, her big eyes are very bright, and she looks very pure in her emerald flowered dress.

"Isn't this the young and tender Shopkeeper Tong?"

Cao Jian was very surprised. He could meet the future movie queen Yan while eating dumplings?
In the entertainment industry, Xu Jing's buttocks and Yan Ni's legs are both top-notch.

He glanced at the half of the calf exposed under the skirt, and it was indeed very slender and long, and very beautiful.

Cao Wei noticed that his cousin had been staring at the girl and chuckled softly, "Isn't she beautiful?"

"Let's go over and get to know each other."

"Forget it. He looks like a college student from the city. How could he care about us?"

"Why are you still timid after entering the city? Watch me!"

Cao Jian smiled slightly and walked to the opposite side of the girl.

"Classmate, is there no one here?"

"No."

The two girls looked up at Cao Jian and found that although the boy in front of them was a little dark, he looked gentle and handsome in a rayon shirt and was not unpleasant, so they nodded.

Cao Jian pulled his cousin to sit across from Yan and the other man, and said with a smile, "Classmate, which school are you from?"

"We are from the Finance Institute, what about you?"

People nowadays are more simple and honest, and Cao Jian looks like a college student, so the two girls opposite were not on guard at all.

"I didn't go to college. I planned to go to the south to work."

"work to earn a living?"

After hearing this, the two girls lost interest in continuing the conversation.

Cao Wei, standing by, was unconvinced and interjected, "My brother has already been accepted into the university, he just doesn't want to go."

"Admitted to university?"

This time it was the two girls' turn to look shocked.

Nowadays, university tuition fees are not high and there are subsidies, so there is no such thing as not being able to pay tuition fees.

There are actually people who don’t go to college?

Cao Jian smiled and said, "Society is actually a better university. There are some experiences that you can't learn on campus."

Yan and the other two heard Cao Jian's conversation and found it really didn't sound like a laborer. They looked regretful and said, "You're right, but I think knowledge is more important."

"You're right."

Cao Jian didn't want to argue and said to Yan Ni: "Classmate, you are so beautiful. Maybe you can become a star in the future."

"Haha. I'm not some celebrity."

Although Yan is still very young now and not yet the charming and charming widow she will be in the future, her habit of laughing is exactly the same.

Her classmates boasted, "You can tell fortunes? Xiao Yan may not be a star, but she'll be an arts soldier when school starts."

"No wonder she's so beautiful."

No matter how many holes there are, flattery never wears out. Boys nowadays are more reserved, unlike Cao Jian who is so direct.

But he went on to be more direct: "Not only can I read faces, I can also read palms."

"really?"

The two girls were immediately interested.

It’s just that there are so many people here, and I feel a bit embarrassed to have my palm read by a boy I just met.

The bold will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. To pick up girls, one must be bold, careful and thick-skinned. Cao Jian understands this essence well.

Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to show off in a restaurant, so he asked, "Do you two have anything to do after dinner? If not, how about we go to the botanical garden together?"

"How about a movie?"

The College of Finance was just opposite the Botanical Garden. The two girls had been there several times and had lost interest in it, so they took the initiative to suggest going to the movies.

He is handsome and sweet-mouthed, and he always has advantages.

"Then I invite you to go and see it."

Watching a movie together is more exciting than going to the park. How could Cao Jian refuse?
At this time, dumplings for several people were also served.

Cao Wei took two bites and finally couldn't help but whisper in his cousin's ear: "Brother, you're awesome! You're really awesome!"
