Pass Through 80s: A Notoriety

  Chapter 4 She is not without temper

  Xu Fang was not sick, her complexion was pale, and she was completely frightened.

  The robbery of the department store today became the biggest news in Bei County.

  In broad daylight, two masked men robbed a wooden warehouse and stole 8,000 yuan from the store.

  Xu Fang sat on the bed, recalling what happened in the store, but still couldn't help being afraid.

  Ji Yong handed the prepared brown sugar water to her, "As long as people are fine, this is the greatest fortune in misfortune."

After taking a few mouthfuls of brown sugar, Xu Fang calmed down a bit, "Who would have thought that people would dare to come in to grab things during the day. I heard that there is a lot of trouble in Beishi, and now the county is not stable. You are on a business trip tomorrow, what bumps and bumps will you encounter along the way?" If you touch it, bear with it, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

   "Don't worry, you still don't understand my temper. If someone beats me up, I won't scold you back. I'm not the one who caused the trouble." Ji Yong asked, "What does your unit say?"

"Manager Wang said he would be on vacation for two days, and he just received a call from Xiao Ke during the day. She wanted to fill out her volunteer application. My parents also asked me to go back and make up my mind." When Xu Fang mentioned her youngest daughter, she also had a smile on her face. Meaning, "Listen to mom, Xiaoke did well in the exam this time, and today's estimated score passed the key line."

  This year, 340 points are the specialist line, 420 points are the undergraduate line, and 460 points are the key line.

  Ji Yong clapped his hand happily on his leg, "Good job. Xiao Ke's excellence today is inseparable from the dedication of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Didn't I bring back two bottles of Moutai from my business trip last time? Give it to my father-in-law."

  Ji Yong used to run business in an agricultural machinery company. The business in the company was business-to-business, and there were many credit accounts.

He is very capable, and he asked for a few big orders for the company, and the company also gave him a share. Speaking of which, the conditions of Ji's family in the agricultural machinery company are considered to be top-notch. Usually, when he goes out to ask for bills, the other party will bring him some things. , Ji Yong brought them back.

  Her husband values ​​her natal family, and Xu Fang was also happy, "Get a bottle, my dad doesn't like drinking too much, and he doesn't think it's a good thing to give him."

  Ji Yong was silent for a while, "Didn't I bring back a gold-plated engraved hero brand pen? Dad is a cultural person, so give it to him."

  Xu Fang was even more reluctant, "I made a promise with Xiao Ke before, and I will give her the pen if she passes the key line in the exam."

   "Isn't it too early for Xiao Ke to use such an expensive fountain pen? I will give this one to my father-in-law first, and I will buy it only for her when Xiao Ke graduates from university and works."

"Look at our Beixian County. Is there anyone who has been admitted to university? Even in Beishi City, there are not many who have passed the exam. Xiao Ke has passed the key line. The child has not been with us these years. I owe her to her, but now I have to pass the exam. It’s so good, a pen is not too much.”

Ji Yong had his own worries in his heart, "That's fine, then do as you said, I'll see if I can buy another one when I go out this time. As parents, we can't favor one over the other, and sisters have one for each other. By the way , Xiaoling is also estimating the score today, you can find time to ask in the evening."

  Xu Fang curled her lips, "She has been yelling about the exam so early, why do you still need to ask?"

   "The more you fail in the exam, the more you need to care about it."

"Forget it, I want to ask you to ask, I still want to live a few more years. There are many places to spend money for Xiao Ke to go to college, so don't waste money. The cheapest all-steel pen of the hero is also two hundred Woolen cloth."

   "Both sisters are going to college, how can one send the other away?"

  Xu Fang was impatient to hear this, "She can pass the exam and see you off, but if she can't, what do you do with the money?"

  The most expensive gold cap and semi-steel of the hero pen is 800 yuan, and the gold-plated engraving is the second most expensive. A fountain pen can’t be bought for nearly 500 yuan. The quantity is small and beautiful, so it is hard to find.

  Families like Ji's family can have such inventory, Ji Ling guesses that Ji's father has made a lot of money in business in the past few years.

   Carrying a whole body of debts, Ji Ling is one head and two older. She is considering whether to talk to Ji's father in private. Can she ask for money without a pen?

  Mother and daughter were not close, Xu Fang talked with her husband in the house after returning, and Ji Ling packed up the books that the original owner had saved for two years and moved them to the yard.

   Waiting for the tattered ones to come, a lot of books are only sold for one yuan and twenty cents.

  At this time, Ji Jianhua came back from pulling coal,

  The alley of the family courtyard is narrow, and he was about to back up his car to get in. When the truck finally turned to the yard, the truck made two chugs and suddenly turned off.

   Started the fire again, turned it back down and turned it off again, repeated several times, but no one backed the car into the yard.

  Ji Jianhua jumped down from the driver's seat, "It's locked up several times, so let's unload it here, and then dump it into the coal bunker."

  When there was a stalemate at home in the morning, Tian Jing's arrival broke the deadlock, but Ji Jianhua's words to force Ji Ling to apologize could not be undone.

  Ji Jianhua knew that the younger sister was stubborn, so he took the initiative to talk, "Xiaoling, I asked you and mom to admit your mistake this morning, not because you did something wrong, but because mom was excited at that time, let her calm down first."

  Ji Ling let out a faint oh.

   "I just saw you selling books when I backed up the car. Are those books gone?"

  Ji Ling confessed to Bu Gongdao, "After the college entrance examination, I won't need it anymore."

  Ji Jianhua nodded, opened his coat pocket, and took out a stack of money, most of which were two cents or so. He took out the largest amount of ten yuan and handed it to Ji Ling, "You take this for pocket money."

  Although Ji Ling wanted it very much, she refrained from asking, "No need, I can earn it myself."

   "You earn what you earn, and it was given to you by my elder brother. This time, I can help you buy a silk scarf on a business trip. I didn't bring it to you. I will give you ten yuan. Buy what you like."

  Ji Jianhua insisted, Ji Ling thought that he wanted a bowl of water to be flat, and maybe he had the meaning of making up for what he said in the morning, so she didn't refuse anymore, and took it.

   "Thank you, brother."

  Ji Jianhua smiled, "Now that you've figured it out, don't confront Mom. Mom will be strong for the rest of her life. You should understand her more."

   "Okay." Ji Ling replied.

  She knew in her heart that Ji Jianhua had misunderstood that she was accepting the reality and was not going to study anymore. After waiting for the grades to come out, all misunderstandings would be resolved without breaking through, so she didn't bother to explain.

  Bei County winter is nearly 40 degrees below zero. Ji Jianhua came back from leave this time to bring coal to his family. Every year at this time, he buys the coal to be burned in winter at home in advance.

  Ji Yong and his wife also came out of the house. Seeing Xu Fang at home, Ji Jianhua was quite surprised. He was in a hurry to unload coal and he didn't have time to talk. He didn't know about the robbery of the department store until dinner.

  He said, "It can't be the two robbers in Beishi, right? A gear factory security department was robbed before, and I heard that a wooden warehouse was also robbed."

  Xu Fang told her son, "These two are running around now, and they look fierce. You must pay attention to your safety outside."

  Ji Jianhua responded, turned his head and told Ji Ling beside him, "Remember to lock the doors and windows before going to bed at home these few days."

   Ji Ling originally wanted to be an air, but Ji Jianhua pulled her out again. She was about to answer a few words when Xu Fang snatched her away.

   "Don't run out if you have nothing to do these two days. The zipper factory's 21st recruitment exam, you should prepare well. Wash the shirt that your sister brought back to you last month and wear it on the day of the exam."

  Ji Ling said indifferently, "Fill in the application form on the 21st, and I have to go to school."

  Xu Fang pursed her lips, and then said, "It doesn't take a day to fill out the application. You go to the factory to take the exam first, and it will be over at ten o'clock, and then it's not too late to go to school."

  Ji Ling politely refused, "Let's talk about it later."

Xu Fang's patience reached the limit, "We'll talk about it later? I think you just don't want to go. Ji Ling, let me tell you, don't go to Dong Fang's family in the front school. Don't give up on repeating five years. If you repeat two years, you won't pass the exam this time. , just rest assured that I will find a job to go to work, our family is not used to your stinking problem."

In the 1980s, high school graduates who did not enter the university, although they did not enter the university, still had a certain amount of knowledge and culture. Miss Dong's family took the nickname of 'University Leaker'.

  Ji Ling resented this sentence, "Mom, it's very uncultivated to pay attention to others behind their backs."

  Xu Fang said angrily, "You are talking about self-cultivation with me now? What about your self-cultivation? Why don't you think about self-cultivation when you have the cheek to go to your grandma's house and force your parents to go on a hunger strike?"

   Seeing that another quarrel was about to start, Ji Yong hurriedly acted as a peacemaker, "It is important to fill in the volunteer application. Xiaoling will go to school first, and then to the zipper factory."

  Ji Ling looked sour, she put down her chopsticks and got up, "Dad, I won't go to the zipper factory for the exam. I'm waiting for September to go to college."

  She admitted that Ji's father loved her, but obviously Ji's father never asked her about her grades from the beginning to the end, let alone believed that she would be admitted to university.
