Chapter 580 Uncle Wang Who Can Do Wood Carving

The restoration of the college entrance examination is undoubtedly a major event for the people of the whole country.

In a place like Beijing where gossip is flying everywhere, the speed of information dissemination is of course very fast. Even if there is no gossip, people can clearly feel that things have changed.

Just as Wang Yan said before, the report on the recommendation of admission this year was rejected. Although there is a certain threshold to get this news, there are still many people who can pass the threshold. Even if it is not clear whether it has been rejected, it is okay to know that there has been no reply. Because the work started in previous years has not been carried out this year. People speculated that there is only one possibility left, which is to restore the college entrance examination.

After several rounds of meetings and discussions, the news has spread everywhere, and people are nervously looking forward to the results. Because in this era, the college entrance examination is the only opportunity for millions of Chinese people to break the restrictions of age, marriage, and origin and reverse their fate.

In fact, even after forty years, material life is extremely abundant, and people will not starve as long as they work, but the college entrance examination represents the green years, and it is still a crucial opportunity to change fate. Dare not say the only one, because fate is something that cannot be explained.

Just like Wang Yan, who is lucky enough to be blessed by his father, he changed his fate. Although others do not have such a great opportunity, they may not succeed at any time. After all, there are top talents in all 360 professions. But for most people, the college entrance examination is still crucial.

As mentioned before, Wang Yan graduated from a junior college, and his expected salary level was 4,000 to 5,000 in a second-tier city like Dalian, but in fact his salary was only 3,000 to 4,000. And many people who graduated from good schools expect a salary of 6,000 to 7,000, but the actual salary is 5,000 to 6,000. As for students who graduated from first-class universities, let's not talk about it. There is no need to talk about their upper limit, but the starting bottom line is mostly 7,000 to 8,000. 3,000 to 4,000, 5,000 to 6,000, 7,000 to 8,000, this is a real gap, and it is also a strong denial of the uselessness of studying. This is only material, not spiritual.

In this era, there is also a city with urban household registration. At this time, life in the city is better than in the village, or much better. After being admitted to a university, the household registration is directly transferred to the collective household registration of the school, and you become a city dweller in one leap. A good job with good benefits, a good wife, and a good life. It's different, really different.

It's already mid-October. According to the normal trajectory, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination will spread across the country in a few days. At this time, the wind of the resumption of the college entrance examination has blown across the land of China, and people in countless places are overjoyed.

They are of different ages, different identities, and do different jobs. They are workers, farmers, educated youth who went to the countryside or have returned to the city, demobilized soldiers, government cadres, high school graduates, and perhaps some are people's teachers who teach and educate people.

They are doing the same thing. While cheering for this great news, they rummage through boxes and cabinets to find books that may have been moldy, or look for others to borrow books everywhere, and burn the lamp day and night. Because the time available for review is very short, the suffocating sense of urgency to change their destiny is too heavy.

Compared to the nervousness of those people, Su Meng was much more relaxed, because she started reading and reviewing more than two months in advance, and Wang Yan, who even knew what the test was and knew the standard answers, made a review plan for her and circled the key points. In addition, Su Meng has not been idle for many years, and has read a lot of random books. After all, there are too few entertainment activities at this time, and reading has become a pastime. Therefore, she still retains a certain learning ability. As long as she performs normally, Wang Yan can guarantee that she can enter Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Su Meng took leave to concentrate on reviewing at home and could not be disturbed by the child, so she basically didn't take care of the child as before. It was still Su Laotai and Su's mother who took care of the child, and Wang Yan took care of him when he came back. In fact, if the child was not the ancestor at home, if Su Laotai and Su's mother were less spoiled, he would not take care of the child himself, just to neutralize the spoiled problems.

In fact, they all know that it is not good to spoil the child too much, but there is no way, they can't control it. It's just that the child is so young, he doesn't know anything, and he can educate him later.

So in the autumn morning, under the comfortable and lazy sunshine, Wang Yan sat on the stone by the outer wall of the yard, with a cigarette in his mouth, holding wood and a knife in his hand to carve. Next to him was Han Chunming, who had no odd jobs and was rarely at home, holding a fan plate in his hand, and Lao Guantou next to him twisted a bracelet with one hand and a walnut in the other.

In the open space not far away, Cai Xiaoli reached out to support the child in the walker and trained the child to stand. The child screamed and reached forward to grab Wang Bin, who was squatting on the ground playing with the soil. In his hand, he held a small wooden shovel, a small truck, a small cart, a small house, a pistol, a submachine gun, etc. made of wood, as well as a variety of messy toys in the shape of small animals.

These toys were of course made little by little by Wang Yan, the biological father. Occasionally, when reading books was boring, he would make these things with wood. After all, there were not too many fancy toys these days. It happened that he had played carving for a while and had reached the level of LV2. His skills were not very superb, but they were enough to coax children. The walker used by Han Chunming's son was made by Wang Yan for his son before.

The boy is now nearly three months older and has become much more clever. He used to play by himself, but ever since he got a toy, he saw other children looking at his toys with envy, so every time he goes out, he has to take his belongings with him and put them all outside.

So not only he was sitting there, but other children of his age and a few years older were also gathered there to play with toys.

This gave Wang Yan, a father with some craft skills, a job. After all, he couldn't let other people's children envy him. They were all pure and uncontaminated good children. So occasionally, he would make a few toys and give them to those little ones.

Many years later, when these children grew up, they might still remember that there was a very kind Uncle Wang in the neighborhood who could make beautiful wood carvings...

Although it had no practical significance for Wang Yan, and even wasted time and energy, although he was very idle, his time and energy were not so wasted. He was more comfortable lying on a chair and basking in the sun. It's just that there are always some things that don't matter if you waste some time and energy. At this time, being idle is also idle, so it becomes a reason.

"Your Majesty, Taozi's wife is due to give birth in a month, and wants you to help her reserve a bed at Union Hospital. This guy is too embarrassed to ask, so let me ask you if you can help him."

Wang Yan nodded: "What's the big deal, isn't it just over eight months? I'll help him in half a month."

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of Taozi first, and Taozi will treat you to a drink later." Han Chunming said with a smile: "It's true that Taozi is a loser. Since he got married, he has been controlled by his wife. Except for making money, he has no other time. I can't call him out, and he stays with his wife every day."

"That's how he lives. Who is like you, not at home every day?"

"Hey, Prince, what you said is wrong. I go out to collect those old things. If I have a brother like Fatty, I will be like you, taking care of children at home all day. There are only so many good things. If I don't go out enough, I can't pick up the things I could have picked up. Then I will regret it to death, right?"

The Fatty Han Chunming mentioned is Liu Dahai, the chubby one who sells tickets in Shichahai and is Wang Yan's subordinate.

Wang Yan smiled: "You don't even know what it is, how can you regret it?"

"I regret it because I don't know. As long as I don't go out, I will miss those best things, such as Yuan blue and white porcelain and the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty..." Han Chunming muttered with longing, looking at Cai Xiaoli with a bit of resentment, because Cai Xiaoli didn't let him go out, saying that it was time to accompany the children...

In fact, Han Chunming is not so heartless. On weekdays, he is still very good. When he has nothing to do, he will come back early with Cai Xiaoli. It's just that on Sundays, even if there is no work, he will go out to look for things most of the time instead of staying at home with his wife and children. So this shows that he is very irresponsible, but in seven days a week, he only has one day to be himself, and that is when he is not making extra money.

Wang Yan put out his cigarette butt on the ground, and it was mixed with the sawdust on the ground: "Admiral, your disciple has gone astray."

"Humph, you are just making fun of me." Old Guantou sat there swaying, as if following the rhythm of the opera in his heart: "What you have picked up in these few years is much more than what our family has accumulated for three generations. If Chunming had as many things as you, he would not go out."

"After all, they are close master and disciple, and they should protect each other."

"Don't talk nonsense, little thief, it's been two years, shouldn't your grandfather, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, open your eyes?"

"It's not the time yet, wait a few years. Don't worry, with your body, you will definitely be able to see it."

Old Guantou didn't say As he was talking, Han Chunming on the side said: "Your Majesty, you probably have tens of thousands of items in your hands, right?"

Wang Yan fiddled with the thing in his hand, which was a little rabbit, and was going to give it to a three-year-old girl: "That's about it. There are too many things and I'm too lazy to count them. Sooner or later, you will see the day. Don't worry about my things. It's better to study where to find your best things."

At this time, Cheng Jianjun walked out of the yard, greeted Wang Yan and Lao Guantou with a smile, and then called: "Chunming, come here, I have something to tell you."

Except for some small scars on his face that can't be seen clearly, his attitude is the same as before the class reunion, as if nothing happened. This is learning from Goujian to sleep on firewood and taste gall, holding back until there is a chance to retaliate, just like Goujian forced Fuchai to commit suicide and destroyed Wu to dominate.

Seeing him smiling, Han Chunming still felt uncomfortable, but he still frowned and replied: "What's the matter? Do we have to tell it in secret?"

Cheng Jianjun sighed and looked at him unhappily: "How can I lie to you? It's a good thing, come here and I'll tell you."

Han Chunming glanced at Cai Xiaoli who was also glaring at Cheng Jianjun, let out a long breath, and tapped his thigh with a fan: "It's really interesting, you can find me for a good thing?"

Although he said so, he still stood up and went back to the yard with him.

They are all in the same circle. Cai Xiaoli is not only a classmate, but also went to Fangshan to work in the countryside together, so they have a common social circle. Even if Han Chunming didn't say that he called Cheng Jianjun "grandpa", others would use this to tease Cai Xiaoli. Just like the Mao map, his wife must know that he peed on the kang when he was working in the countryside. So as Han Chunming's wife, it would be strange if she could have a good face for Cheng Jianjun who made her husband embarrassed.

Stopping at the moon gate connecting the front and back yards, Han Chunming leaned against the wall, playing with his fan. He didn't look at Cheng Jianjun, but just said impatiently, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Look at you, how can you be so petty? Isn't this just a joke? Are you so serious? What? We all live in the same hospital, and you really plan to never have anything to do with me. Your current job is I found it for you, right? You liked that incense burner before, but I didn’t want to sell it to you. Besides, look at me, don’t I smile at the prince?”

"Humph, if you don't want to laugh with the prince, you have to have the courage." Han Chunming shook off Cheng Jianjun's slapping hand: "Hurry up, if you have something to talk about, leave if you have nothing to do. I don't have time to quarrel with you."

"Hey, hey, look at you, you are really..." Cheng Jianjun hurriedly grabbed him: "Let me tell you, it's a good thing. My dad got another job quota in a hardware company. This is not like the previous class reunion. You said it was neither a big deal nor a big deal for you to call me "Lord". It caused you such a big embarrassment and made you lose such a big person. Brother, I will show my style and give you this place. This is my brother's compensation for you. Yes, do you think this is a good thing?”

Seeing him looking at him suspiciously, Cheng Jianjun continued: "Can I still lie to you? Is that necessary? I am simply compensating you. The hardware company is much better than working in a food factory, with more money and higher benefits. . Just tell me if you want it! Okay, if you don’t say it, I’ll reply.”

"You have to handle a personal matter." Han Chunming asked, "When can it be done?"

"You can do it at any time. Then you can just go to each place twice. If you have anything to do, just come to me. I will definitely take care of it for you. Don't you hold any grudges?"

Han Chunming patted his arm: "That's it, I'm back."

"Hey, this guy, why don't you say thank you for helping you so much?"

Seeing Han Chunming disappear from sight, Cheng Jianjun snorted coldly and turned back to the house...

After leaving the yard and seeing Cai Xiaoli coming forward, Han Chunming waved his hand, sat back down, teased his son, and asked: "My lord, what do you think he wants from me?"

"It should be some benefit to you."

"How did you know?"

Wang Yan smiled and asked, "What did I tell you a few days after our class reunion?"

"You said that the college entrance examination might be resumed?" Han Chunming frowned and thought for a while: "Speaking of this, you are always really good. You knew it so early, and it has spread all over the world. Not to mention others, just those people in the food factory , I was so excited that I just read the book when I had time. No, my lord, where is this? What does it have to do with Cheng Jianjun? "

"Cheng Jianjun is petty and loves to compare. I have long been recommended to study at Beijing University. Now the college entrance examination is about to resume. Do you think he will take the exam?"

Cai Xiaoli said: "I will definitely take the exam. Although I know I won't pass the exam, if the child is not too young, I will definitely review and review and give it a try, just in case I pass the exam. Chunming is stupid, saying that there is no use in talking about it. His grades have been poor since he was a child. You told us this news so early, but he didn’t even read the book.”

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "So do you still need me to say it?"

Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli looked at each other and had not yet reacted.

"You two combined brains are not as good as this kid." The old man on the side said: "You understand, Cheng Jianjun was afraid that you would also take the college entrance examination, so what benefits did he give you to make you settle for the status quo and not go to college? You want to compete with him by going to college. That grandson is very ambitious and he must be studying to death. If he fails to go to college, won’t that put you at a disadvantage?”

"I can think of all the reasons Cheng Jianjun said. He's playing the emotional card with you. Let's talk about how I helped you before. Then I'll talk about the benefits I'll give you this time. It's to make up for the fact that you called him "grandpa" in the previous class meeting, so that you can Don't argue with him." Wang Yan tilted his head and looked at Lao Guanguan: "Admiral, you can see clearly that Chunming hasn't learned enough yet."

"He's just too honest. He can't stand others being nice to him. He's a bitch."

"Master, isn't this what you like about your disciple?" Han Chunming chuckled, shook his head and sighed: "Cheng Jianjun is so mean-spirited. He said that his father got him a job in a hardware company, just like Your Majesty, you said the same thing. I was quite happy just now, but if you keep saying this, I have thought about it. He is playing tricks on me again. But he had no idea, brother. I didn’t even think about taking the college entrance examination, so I got such a bargain for nothing.”

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "When Cheng Jianjun passes the exam, you can bear it if people try to make money in front of you or belittle you behind your back."

Cai Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, I can't go to college. I have a good job in a hardware company. When will it be finished? You have to hurry up. What will happen if Cheng Jianjun regrets it?"

"He said anytime, I'll go take a look tomorrow. When I get to the hardware company, I'll make more money, and we'll live a better life."

"Quickly pull it off, I've seen it clearly in the past two years. No matter how much I earn, I still have to buy all your bottles and cans." Cai Xiaoli rolled her eyes, but her tone was not blaming.

Wang Yan patted Han Chunming on the shoulder: "You have found such a good wife as Xiaoli, and he has spoiled you so much. If you change her to another woman, if you don't knock down the roof, how can you still think about you?" Those are the best things.”

"Hey, buddy, I have such a good life." Han Chunming received a punch from Cai Xiaoli, shook his head and said: "Actually, this is also the reason why I don't risk my life to get into college. You said that if I go to college, I will go to the restaurant every month The money is only a few yuan subsidy, so how can I collect the items then? Besides, I don’t make any money anymore, and my family relies on Xiaoli to make money. She has to give me subsidies. The children are getting older, and the expenses are increasing day by day. I have been in college for four years, and I can't stand it. It's okay to open my mouth to my brother and sister once or twice, but it's even worse for my mother, who scolds me every day... …”

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to college. With the resumption of the college entrance examination and some signals released from above, I think there will be big changes in the next few years. If there are changes, there will be opportunities. Depending on your ability, you can do something great in the future. It’s definitely no problem.”

"Then let me lend you some good words..."

Although Su Meng was not in the middle this time, Cheng Jianjun certainly couldn't get over it because of the previous classmates' reunion. Now that he has the opportunity to take the college entrance examination, Wang Yan is a college student himself, and he is from Peking University. He can't hold it back, and he will find Han Chunming's head again.

His father had originally secured a place for him in a hardware company, and all the favors had been paid out. Now that the college entrance examination was coming, and if he failed to pass it, he would have to give it to Han Chunming so that he would not take the college entrance examination. In addition, say some nice words and try to get over the matter of the class reunion. He had to maintain a relationship with Han Chunming. Wang Yan ignored him and he could get some information about Wang Yan from Han Chunming. Otherwise, how could he avenge his shame in the future?

So he did it anyway, but he didn't expect that Wang Yan had already told Han Chunming about the resumption of the college entrance examination, and he didn't want to take the exam in the first place. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan also revealed Han Chunming's little thoughts. It was really cheap for Han Chunming. Except that Han Chunming would get his wish if he didn't take the college entrance examination, the rest was in vain.

Han Chunming gave up the original quota to Tao Zi. It's just that the situation is different now. Han Chunming didn't happily collect rags. He married Cai Xiaoli and had a child. For the reasons he said himself, of course he had to go to the hardware company with better treatment...

He just stayed there without saying a word until noon. With the reluctant eyes of the children, he collected his son's belongings and went home. It was still the same, there were only a few steps away, but with the little one's hesitant movements, he walked for more than ten minutes before going back.

I changed the little one's clothes again, mixed warm water to wash his face, hands and buttocks, and then took him to the backyard, made some milk powder, and got some other food to give the kid a lunch. The child is young and does not eat much in one meal. He has to wait for several meals a day. Then she put her on the bed, and Mrs. Su walked and crawled around for a while, until she felt sleepy and the little one started to take a nap...

Wang Yan searched in the kitchen for a while and ate three steamed buns before leaving and returning to the front yard to wash the clothes the little one had just changed. He raised his children so carelessly and raised them well, but the price was to change clothes several times a day and wash them every day.

After finishing all this work, he returned to the room and made a pot of tea. He sat down next to Su Meng who was studying and said, "Come, drink some tea to refresh yourself."

"It's too hot. Let it dry before drinking."

"I'm so well prepared. I have so much more review time than others, so I don't have to put so much pressure on myself. And you think about it, so many people have wasted so many years and how much knowledge can they learn while sharpening their weapons in battle? In this case, the country will definitely I have thought about it, so the questions in this college entrance examination will definitely not be too difficult. I know your level. As long as you make sure that your current level does not deteriorate, it will be easy to get into Beijing University."

"It's easy to say, I can't relax. It's a critical moment that determines my destiny. Although it is said that as long as the college entrance examination is resumed, I can continue to take the exam next year, but if I fail the exam this time, how embarrassing do you think I will be? Moreover, my grandma and my parents are both people's teachers. You still recommended going to Beijing University to go to college. With such advantages, I can go to college, but if I don't go to a good college, it's not much better than not getting into it. So embarrassing."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Anyway, it's just for a while. You work hard and give your husband your full support."

Wang Yan stopped talking and took a book casually, reading it while drinking tea.

After a while, Su Meng let out a long breath, and it turned out that she had been holding it in for a while before saying: "Can you not stay with me? You read so fast, and it makes me tired to hear it."

"Understood, I have trouble breathing just by your side, right? Come on, the little one will go to the yard to make toys for your son. Take your leave."

Stretching out his hands to pinch Su Meng's cheeks, Wang Yan was driven out.

"Be virtuous." Su Meng rolled her eyes and continued to study hard...
