Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 38

Lin Jinglan took out the withdrawal slip from the envelope, glanced at it, and handed it to Zhao Yumei, saying, "Look, I told you it wouldn't be much money, 100 yuan, which is much less than my fee for publishing a paper. But this It’s not too little for a windfall.” Lin Jinglan said with a smile, “I’ll buy some food later and let’s eat together.”

Zhao Yumei reached out to take the withdrawal slip, and took a breath when she heard Lin Jinglan's words, "100 yuan is not much? It's more than a few months' wages for ordinary workers!" Zhao Yumei said with a curled lip.

"Wait!" Zhao Yumei screamed, "Jinglan, this, this—" Zhao Yumei stammered, unable to complete a sentence for a long time.

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, and looked at Zhao Yumei in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yumei still couldn't finish her sentence, she kept pointing to a place on the withdrawal slip with her finger, "What one hundred, this, this is clearly—"

Lin Jinglan took a closer look, and instantly widened her eyes, "One thousand?"

Zhao Yumei kept nodding.

Lin Jinglan was also frightened for a moment, and carefully took the withdrawal slip that Zhao Yumei handed her, read it carefully twice, and said in a low voice, "It's really a thousand..."

Zhao Yumei obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, and mechanically repeated Lin Jinglan's words, "It's one thousand."

Lin Jinglan carefully collected the withdrawal slip, and after much deliberation, she decided that she could not withdraw such a large amount of money by herself. She felt that it was really unsafe, so she should ask Teacher Han to go with her. Teacher Han's character is absolutely trustworthy.

Lin Jinglan called Mr. Han out of the office, told Mr. Han about this matter, and was especially careful when mentioning the amount of money, but still frightened Mr. Han.

Teacher Han shouted, "So much!" He immediately lowered his voice, looked around, and leaned into Lin Jinglan's ear and said, "With so much money, do you want another male teacher to go with you? We two women, It still doesn't feel safe…”

Lin Jinglan felt that what Teacher Han said was reasonable, "Then you see which teacher is free, please help me?"

Teacher Han responded repeatedly, "Okay."

When going to the post office to withdraw money, Mr. Han called a male teacher surnamed Wang.Teacher Han also specifically explained to Lin Jinglan, "I have worked with Teacher Wang for many years. Teacher Wang's character is absolutely fine, and he does things properly and meticulously."

Lin Jinglan smiled, "Thank you, Teacher Han." I thought that 1000 yuan is indeed not a small amount, which can be seen from Teacher Han's extra cautiousness.

Several tellers in the post office already remembered Lin Jinglan, because every time Lin Jinglan came to withdraw money, it was not a small amount.In fact, it would be fine if an adult doing business withdraws so much money, but Lin Jinglan, a high school student, often has such a large amount of items entered into the account, which is really surprising.

When Lin Jinglan walked to the window, the teller recognized her and said with a smile, "And the manuscript fee? Little girl is really not easy!"

The teller looked at Lin Jinglan with admiration. Nowadays, people respect knowledgeable people. Even if it is the same amount, the author's fee is more impressive than the income from doing business.What's more, Lin Jinglan's manuscript fee is a lot, and people in business earn more.

Lin Jinglan replied with a smile, "This time it's not a manuscript fee, but a reward from the State Patent Office."

The teller gasped, "You can do it! You must be a great scientist from now on, right?" Although she didn't know what a patent office was, it was not easy to put the word "country" in front of it.

The teller took the withdrawal form from Lin Jinglan, looked at it and was stunned.She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had made a mistake, and looked again carefully.

"1000 yuan?" the teller shouted.

Lin Jinglan had been mentally prepared for a long time, so she was not frightened by the sudden voice of the teller.However, everyone else in the post office was taken aback, and then all looked in Lin Jinglan's direction.

After realizing that Lin Jinglan wanted to withdraw 1000 yuan, there was a boom of discussion in the post office, and everyone had a shocked expression on their faces.

The teller who handled the affairs for Lin Jinglan came to his senses only after being urged by Lin Jinglan, "This... 1000 yuan is too much, and there is not so much money in the office that can be withdrawn for you. And I can't make up my mind with so much money, I have to ask the leader for instructions."

The teller hurried to the leader's office.

Lin Jinglan frowned, she didn't expect it to be so troublesome.But after thinking about it, I realized that this is a large withdrawal that needs to be booked in advance?Well, that's as it should be, decades from now.

It's just that she didn't expect that 1000 yuan could be considered a large amount...

Lin Jinglan made a rough estimate in her heart.If you convert people's wages now and decades later.So the current 1000 yuan is probably worth... 20 in a few decades?

Lin Jinglan was also surprised when she finished the calculation.That's a lot of money.

She can barely understand the fact that the Patent Office gives material rewards to the first private applicants.

But how could the reward amount be so high?
Lin Jinglan couldn't imagine that decades later, she would receive a reward of up to 20 yuan from the Patent Office for applying for a patent.

Besides, even if there is such a reward, shouldn't it be rewarded to the first person who successfully applies for a patent?None of her patents were approved.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for anyone to write a patent application casually, as long as they can happen to mail it the first time, they can get the 20 yuan?
The more Lin Jinglan thought about it, the more strange it became.

The teller ran out of the leader's office, "The leader invites you into his office to talk."

Lin Jinglan and the two teachers walked in together with the teller.A middle-aged man got up to greet him, looked at Teacher Wang, and said with a smile on his face, "Please sit down."

"I'm the director here, just call me Lao Wu." After Lin Jinglan and the three sat down, the director poured water into the cups in front of Lin Jinglan and the three.

Lin Jinglan was surprised to find that the director of the post office put his posture very low, and felt a little puzzled for a while.

Director Wu exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Wang, and finally turned to the topic, "It's not safe to take out such a large amount as 1000 yuan, so it's better to just store it in the post office, and then you can go back with a passbook."

Lin Jinglan suddenly realized that it was no wonder Director Wu had such a good attitude towards them. It turned out that he wanted to get deposits.

Director Wu waited for Teacher Wang's reply, but was surprised to find that Teacher Wang looked at the immature little girl, obviously indicating that she was the one who really made the decisions.

Director Wu was very surprised. He had always acquiesced that Mr. Wang, the only adult man, was the one who made the decision, but he didn't expect it to be this little girl.

Director Wu quickly adjusted, without showing any surprise on his face, and tried to persuade Lin Jinglan to deposit 1000 yuan with them.

To Director Wu's surprise, Lin Jinglan refused very simply, "No need, let's make an appointment today, and then come to get the money."

Director Wu did not give up and continued to persuade, Lin Jinglan had no choice but to tell him the truth, "I want to save money, but I don't plan to save it with you, I want to save it in the Agricultural Bank of China."

Director Wu was taken aback for a moment, but Lin Jinglan didn't expect that Lin Jinglan planned to deposit the money in the Agricultural Bank. After all, most people in the town deposit their money in the post office.Director Wu said, "Why do you have to deposit it in the Agricultural Bank? You have to run all the way there."

Lin Jinglan just smiled and said nothing, she naturally has her own plans.

Seeing Lin Jinglan's firm attitude, Director Wu had no choice but to give up, and sighed, "Come and withdraw the money in a week."

A week later, accompanied by Teacher Han and Teacher Wang, Lin Jinglan went to the post office to withdraw 1000 yuan, and took a bus together to the Agricultural Bank of China to deposit 1000 yuan into a passbook.Along the way, Mr. Han and Mr. Wang, one behind the other, tightly guarded Lin Jinglan with the money in the bag.

At this time, there is still half a month before the college entrance examination.

The atmosphere in the class has become completely different from the past, and the strings in everyone's hearts have collapsed to the tightest.Apart from eating, sleeping and studying, the classmates hardly talk to each other, as if they feel that every word they say is a waste of time.

Lin Jinglan couldn't help but be infected by this atmosphere, she buried her head in the review desperately, tried her best to go through all the knowledge points of each subject in the final stage, and then brushed up the key topics again.

The study group is still maintained, but it has reached this point, and it is not meaningful to explain new questions.Therefore, Lin Jinglan has long stopped giving lectures for everyone, but the members of the study group get together to review separately, and set aside a quarter of an hour every day to answer each other's doubts.

The atmosphere in the study group is much more relaxed than in the class.Lin Jinglan sorted out the key points for everyone half a month ago, and the members of the study group seemed to have a little confidence because of this.

Lin Jinglan didn't understand, obviously, the key points she drew were passed on throughout the whole grade, and almost everyone knew why the people in the study group had the confidence of "holding the key points of Lin Jinglan's drawings, so I have a great advantage" .

Although puzzled, she was very happy to see such a situation.It is a good thing for you to be more relaxed when reviewing before the exam, and not to be too nervous when you actually go to the exam room.

Lin Jinglan was surprised to find that in the third year of high school plus the repetition class, only occasionally laughter could be heard in the study group, and everyone else had a tense face all the time.

The members of the study group, although they are in a more relaxed mood, are equally tight on time.Now all the classmates are comparing each other, and no one is willing to learn a minute or a second less than anyone else.Lin Jinglan's daily study time is also unprecedentedly long, and all the fragmentary time in the past is used for reciting.

Lin Jinglan had already made a detailed review plan for each half-day.In her plan, the closer the college entrance examination is, the heavier the task of reciting will be.Because many things are forgotten too early, memorizing them twice before the college entrance examination is the best.

Lin Jinglan saw Zhou Hui again, and found that she was standing at the school gate with a bruised nose and a swollen face, supported by a middle-aged woman beside her.

Lin Jinglan's expression was calm, "Why are you looking for me at school again?"

Since Zhou Hui was almost strangled to death by Lin Shan last time, but followed Lin Shan back, Lin Jinglan didn't want to meddle in her business anymore.

She tried her best to help Zhou Hui find a place to live, and published the second paper just to save money to support her and Zhou Hui's living expenses, but Zhou Hui turned around and followed Lin Shan.

Lin Jinglan thought that Zhou Hui was already an adult, and since she had to make such a choice, she couldn't help it.But this time seeing Zhou Hui who was beaten up again, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, Lin Jinglan had no sympathy for her anymore, unlike the previous time when she felt extremely distressed.

Zhou Hui didn't expect Lin Jinglan to treat her with such an attitude, her eyes turned red and her face was at a loss.

Lin Jinglan was a little impatient, "I won't help you find a place to live, anyway, you won't be staying for long, and you will go back with Lin Shan."

It was just a few days before the college entrance examination, and Lin Jinglan saw other people's parents sending them to school every day.But Zhou Hui came to her with a bruised nose and a swollen face at this time, Lin Jinglan felt depressed for a while.

The woman next to Zhou Hui didn't have a good temper, and directly scolded Lin Jinglan, "Why are you talking to your mother?"

Zhou Hui waved his hands again and again, "No, I didn't come to ask you to help me find a place to live."

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, and looked at Zhou Hui in surprise.

The woman next to Zhou Hui shouted at Lin Jinglan, "Your mother was beaten this time because of you! How could you treat your mother like this?"
