A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 169 [169] Ge Dahong (2000)

When the girl heard her name, her hands that were still folding the quilt froze immediately, and then she looked at her in disbelief.

"Wait, what did you say your name is?"

Zhuo Lin choked, wouldn't it be another person who knew her background when she heard her name?Scratching his head awkwardly, "Zhuo, Zhuo Lin!"

"Oh my god, I really heard correctly, then you are the No. 1 student in the college entrance examination in Southern Henan Province, No. [-] in the country, and the No. [-] female student of the talented Zhuo family?"

Isn't this title too much?

The girl jumped off the bed excitedly, grabbed her hand, and held it tightly.

"Oh, I'm so lucky that I share a dormitory with the number one scholar in the country. My name is Ge Dahong. I'm [-] years old this year, and I'm five years older than you. I'm from the Eastern Province. Go to my house to play during the holidays. , our whole family will welcome you."

Ge Dahong is very talkative, with a loud voice and a strong accent. She also listened to guesswork. When she heard that she came to Beijing alone, Zhuo Lin was full of admiration: "You are so amazing, so Dare to come here by yourself, it’s hard work, right?”

"Fortunately, our school is so famous and easy to find. Besides, if my father comes to see me off again, how much will it cost? In order to save money, I can only come by myself. Our school is really good, free meals Really, I thought they were lying to me, and the miscellaneous corn bread is thinner than what I eat at home, but it is delicious, so my parents can rest assured."

There were small patches on Ge Dahong's clothes, the quilts he brought were also washed and turned white, and the daily necessities were pitiful, which was enough to show that the conditions of the family were not good, but such a poor family was admitted to Huahua University. The number one university in the country is enough to show the excellence of its ability.

I thought it was just the two of them who came, but Ge Dahong said.

"They're all here. One of them is from the local area, and the other is from northern Hebei Province. They are close to each other. There are still a few days before the official start of school. Today, I just came to report, brought the bedding and locked it in the cabinet. Well, they said they would come back in two days to make a fuss. Their family conditions are quite good, they look like the children of high-ranking officials, their parents came to see them off in person, and their dresses are not ordinary. I didn’t tell me much, unlike you, so enthusiasm."

Southern Henan Province, Northern Hebei Province, and Eastern Shandong Province, the three major provinces of the college entrance examination, where brothers and sisters face each other in the capital, this four-person dormitory is more interesting than she imagined.

She glanced at the locked cabinet, and felt relieved, as long as everyone locked it, then she would not be worried.

Then he made his bed, tidied up his daily necessities, looked at the sky, and then remembered that he hadn't finished eating, so he looked at Ge Dahong.

"Dahong, have you eaten yet? How about we go to the cafeteria together?"

"Ah, why haven't you eaten yet? I just ate it when you came back. If you go now, the free ones will definitely be gone!"

Although Zhuo Lin's dress is not patched, it is also a well-regulated and simple rural dress, so Ge ​​Dahong feels that she is the same kind of person as her, or he would not have emphasized that the other two roommates have good conditions at home. Of course, for such a natural Thoughts, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Her family wasn't rich in the first place, otherwise why would she think of setting up a stall?
"It's okay, I'll go and see, do you still eat? How about I bring you some?"

"No, no, you can go to eat quickly, it's not the official start of school, it closes very early!"

Zhuo Lin took the lunch box to the cafeteria, and found that many windows were closed. Finally, she ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup, and paid for it.

Lying on the bed in the dormitory that night, looking at the ceiling, listening to Ge Dahongxiang's full-bodied words, the memory seemed to return to the 11s and [-]s just passed through. In just [-] years, she went from the rural areas of the [-]th-tier cities to It is incredible to have struggled to the capital, and there is also a sense of pride spontaneously.

Brothers are scattered all over the world. She once thought that when she is stable here, she will take over her parents. After all, Zhuo Dajun is only 38 years old this year, and Wang Juan is 35 years old. They are still young and should not use work. Chain them to death in a small county town.

People go to high places, don't they?
Early the next morning, Zhuo Lin greeted Ge Dahong: "My brother plans to take me around these few days, so I'll come back at night,"

Ge Dahong's face was full of envy, but he was not a blind person. He waved his hands: "Then be careful!"

"Well, you are also bored in the dormitory than the old man, and you also go out for a stroll and look at the streets and alleys of the capital."

Zhuo Lin went to the cafeteria to eat steamed stuffed buns, drank the free soup, ordered another soup for Tao Yi, bought four steamed stuffed buns, and took them to the back alley.

It was eight or nine o'clock at this time, and when she went, she saw her brother's luggage as expected, but she didn't see anyone, even the uncle was not there, but the old lady in the house heard the movement, "Who is it? Who is outside? "

She poked her head out quickly, "Grandma, it's me. I'm your future neighbor. My name is Zhuo Lin. We met yesterday."

The old lady was lying on the recliner, and seeing that she was about to get up, Zhuo Lin hurriedly put the things on the window sill outside, and then ran over to help her.

He let out the vines and checked her body: "Grandma, don't get up, where is my brother?"

"The old man and Xiaotao went to the blacksmith shop. They said they wanted to build a tricycle. Your brother is really capable. He even went to find a carpenter to make a bed. He came to measure the size and ready to build your house. Also, he I have been tossing a lot in the morning, looking for expensive briquettes for you."

Coal is a necessity for people in the city. Those who have a formal job and a permanent residence in the city can buy cheap coal at a limited price with a work certificate. Outsiders like them, without a job, can only buy high-priced coal pellets.

It doesn't mean that she can move her hukou after buying a house. It's not that simple to move her hukou. She also needs to have a certificate of relocation issued by the place where her hukou is located, as well as a certificate of permission from the police station here. .

If cheap coal is five cents a catty, then high-priced coal pellets are ten cents a catty. This is the gap. It doesn’t mean that local residents can buy casually, but there is also a limit of 20 catties of coal per person per month.

After examination, the old lady has chronic diseases, high blood pressure, thick blood fat, chronic gastritis, and bad legs and feet. Although they are not emergencies, they do need to take medicine every day to control the condition. At the age of 70 or [-], there is no way to do anything. , no wonder you have to live by selling houses, alas, it's not easy!
Because these diseases have been accumulated over the years, and because of age, it is impossible to completely cure them. At most, she can help improve them to avoid blood clots. It is fate to meet each other. The old man's health is much better than the old lady's. It's just that the hands and feet are not flexible, but there are no other major problems. The two elders have supported each other to this day, and they are so affectionate, which is indeed touching.
