Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

After following the Wang family couple to the Caritas Hospital near Suwu Village, the nurse quickly took the three of them to a ward.

"Mother-in-law." Su Yun walked over and called softly.

Whether she had promised Yuan Bo to take care of Grandma Su on her behalf, or she was grateful for Grandma Su's non-stop care for her a few days ago when she was still in a daze when she was still ill, Su Yun's cry made everyone cry. Very sincere.

"Su, Susu? Grandma...it's okay...cough..." Granny Su seemed to want to comfort Su Yun, but she just started to cough dryly.

"What happened to her?" Su Yun picked up the kettle on the bedside table and poured water for Grandma Su, while looking at the doctors and nurses beside her.

"Don't worry, little sister, the doctor will explain to you slowly." The nurse comforted Su Yun softly.

"Are you her family?" The doctor stepped forward holding the folder and looked at the Wang family couple.

"She only has this granddaughter, Susu..." Mrs. Wang was silent for a moment, and then stood up with her husband's eyes of agreement, "Our two in-laws have been her neighbors for many years. If there is anything wrong, you can tell us the same. of."

"Yes, doctor, please tell me, what happened to my mother-in-law?" Su Yun hurriedly asked.

The doctor took a sympathetic look at Su Granny on the bed and Su Yun beside the bed, and after sighing secretly for the poor old and young, he slowly explained: "Look, she has a relatively obvious growth here. The swelling and deformation of the bone can be touched by hand, generally speaking, this is a typical bone tumor performance..."

"Bone tumors can be divided into benign and malignant. Benign tumors are easy to cure and have a good prognosis. If there are no symptoms that affect life, you can even ignore them. But malignant tumors develop rapidly and are very dangerous, requiring surgery as soon as possible. The doctor paused when he said this, and then added to the puzzled eyes of the Wang family couple, "It is also commonly known as bone cancer."

As soon as the last two words came out, it was obvious that the Wang family and his wife gasped in shock.

No matter what age, most people are discolored by the smell of cancer.

"Are you sure? My mother-in-law is really..." Su Yun asked.

"The current test report is highly suspicious, but whether it is benign or malignant, her condition has affected her daily life and she must undergo surgical resection." The doctor replied.

"Then, how much does the operation cost, doctor?" Mrs. Wang asked.

The doctor thought for a while and replied: "If it is a benign tumor, the simple resection and recovery treatment will cost more than 2000 points at most, but if it is confirmed to be malignant, it is not just a matter of one or two operations, there are many follow-ups." For recovery therapy and other experimental treatments, [-] to [-] yuan is just a start...you have to be mentally prepared."

After listening to the doctor's explanation of the treatment cost, several people present were suffocated for a while.

"Forget it, I'm already old..." After a while, Grandma Su was the first to speak, breaking the deadly atmosphere.

"Auntie, how can you say that!" Father Wang became anxious immediately, "Your old man watched me grow up since I was a child, and I have always regarded you as my family..."

"That's right, our two families have always been like one family. Now that you have something to do with the old man, we will never ignore it!" Mrs. Wang also hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"How much money does our family have?" Father Wang looked at Mrs. Wang.

"I should be able to make up five or six hundred." Mrs. Wang thought for a while before answering.

Knowing that the Wang family and his wife are just workers, they don't earn much, and they have a lot of children and spend a lot...So Apo shook her head: "I know you have intentions, but..."

"Auntie, don't worry about it. Didn't the doctor just say that your old man's health is so poor that you can't just have an operation? In short, you should rest assured and take good care of your health. Let's find a way for the money!" Father gritted his teeth and made a decision.

With Su Yun's current appearance as a child, Su Yun couldn't get involved in this kind of life-or-death matter, so she could only follow the Wang family couple, and reluctantly left the ward.

When I returned to Suwu Village, the elevator and stairs were locked. Anyway, my house was on the third floor, and Father Wang didn't bother to wake up the dozing uncle to see Uncle Wang, so he took Mrs. Wang and Su Yun upstairs, whispering He yelled twice to the corridor on the second floor.

The law and order in the housing estate is not good. A few days ago, there was another case of gangsters wounding people in a nearby housing estate. The operation is to pretend to be passers-by or visitors to take the elevator with the residents at night, and then wait for the elevator to start. When there is nowhere to rescue, They suddenly jumped up and strangled the residents' necks, and came to "robbing the neck" to seek money.

Its nature is so bad that there are even precedents of killing people.

At this time, most of the royal police just took money and didn't work, so the gangsters hadn't been caught for a day, and everyone in the housing estates was in danger.

The residents of Suwu Village felt this, so they spontaneously formed the Housing Estate Mutual Committee. Every night after dark, they not only locked the elevators, but also arranged for two people to patrol the corridors at night with long bamboo poles for maintenance. For security purposes.

After patrolling the floors for the first time, the two patrols will lock the hollow iron doors of the stairs on each floor, and then sit and rest in the corridor on the second floor, so that the residents who return late can go home.

"Hey, are you back so late?" The two men patrolling in the corridor heard the voice, and quickly took the keys to open the door, "I heard that Grandma Su on the third floor has entered the hospital?"

This is the case in housing estates. If there is something wrong with someone's house, not only this building, but even several nearby buildings can be spread within a day.

The Wang family and his wife briefly talked about Grandma Su's condition, and the two men sighed for a while, and looked at Su Yun even more softly.

"I've been out for so long, isn't Susu hungry? Come on, uncle will give you a small cake to eat!" Seeing that Su Yun kept her head down and didn't speak, one of the men immediately took out a small package of cake from his pocket and handed it to her. give her.

"I also have a can of Coke here. I planned to drink it on patrol tonight. Come, Susu, here you are." Another man also brought a can of Coke.

Both of them are clumsily trying to divert Su Yun's attention with rare snacks and drinks: I don't know if this child understands this matter or not, but looking at her lowered head, it seems that she is somewhat understandable.

At that time, Su Yun's mother, Su Qing, was a flower in the Camellia House. Unexpectedly, her life would be difficult if she met someone who was unkind, leaving the child alone with Grandma Su. In just a few years, Grandma Su also had an accident...

"Thank you, Uncle." Su Yun thanked the two for their kindness, and then she watched the two men complain to the Wang family with snacks and drinks in her arms, "Oh, that's right, Jiayun Jiaxiang is a pair of tired stars, probably because they are worried about Susu , I tried to run out through the railing of the stairs just now, but was caught by us and sent back..."

Su Yun subconsciously glanced at the stairs: between the stairs are iron railings welded with steel wires and hollow iron doors. Some mischievous children can't sleep at night, and they will run through the gaps in the steel wires with their short stature. Find friends on other floors to have fun.

"We got it, thank you for reminding me." After the Wang family said goodbye to the two guards, they took Su Yun up to the third floor.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw the two brothers Wang Jiayun and Wang Jiaxiang squatting at the door and watching helplessly, but such an incident happened today, and the Wang family couple who had to go to work tomorrow didn't have any thoughts of cleaning them up, they just cleaned up tiredly. Get something, and then get ready to wash and sleep.

"Susu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Su Yun lowered her head and said nothing, Wang Jiaxiang hurried over and asked.

"I'm thinking about how to make money so that I can pay for my mother-in-law's medical expenses." Su Yun raised her head in deep thought.

If it is 1972 now, in fact, she probably knows a chance to get rich-the 73-year stock market crash in Xiangjiang.

The largest stock market crash in the history of Xiangjiang stock market.

Before that, the Hong Kong stock market had experienced a long "bull market", and 73 years happened to be the "Year of the Ox". In the dream, no one was spared from the high-ranking officials and dignitaries down to the peddlers, and many people even quit their jobs to devote themselves to the stock market, the "gold mine".

At that time, the national stock speculation was so crazy, how crazy could it be?

In addition to those folks who get rich overnight and spend large sums of money at will, not only make shark fin rice, abalone porridge, mouse spots to make fish balls, brandy gargle these extravagant acts come true; They will come out with a 500 yuan bill commonly known as "big bull" and use it as fuel to light cigarettes in competition.

It has been going on for a long time, and there is even a joke circulating, saying that in the Qingshan Mental Hospital, a stock exchange was specially set up for those mental patients who went crazy after speculating in stocks...

This kind of crazy phenomenon of the whole people has encountered the heavy blow of the stock market bubble as expected.

After the stock market crashed, tens of thousands of stockholders went bankrupt in an instant, and many of them couldn't bear the ending of their dream of wealth being shattered, so they chose to commit suicide.

As for this memorable stock market crash, it has become the source material for many film and television programs in later generations.

The TV series "Big Generation" with this stock market crash as the background is one of the best: in the play, the father of the hero picks up the poor little boy who was left aside and almost suffered a stampede, and shouted a few times without a single one After the person came to claim the child, he finally pulled out the fire hydrant in a rage, and poured cold water on the crazy stockholders in the aisle of the trading hall who didn't care about anything but stocks.

But the picture of the crazy stockholders still unmoved is simply shocking.

As a result, Su Yun, who was watching this TV series, collected relevant information with great interest. I can't help but sigh that reality is more absurd than drama.

But even if she knows that she can make a lot of money by using stocks at the end of the year, there are still two problems: one is that she doesn't have the principal and trading account required for stock trading, and the other is... Grandma Su doesn't know if she can last that time.

Apparently her contemplation was just a child's whimsy in the eyes of the adults, so Mrs. Wang and the two sisters Wang hurried over to comfort her: "Be good, I know you are sensible, but we adults will find a way to deal with this matter." , you can rest assured and go to school, the final exam is coming soon."

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested.

The Caritas Hospital is not far from where they live, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Yesterday, the Wang family and his wife showed the way. The next day, Su Yun went to the hospital to send Grandma Su for an examination, and then hurriedly got stuck in the school. When class was over, I ran back to the Camellia Building in Suwu Village.

"Quick! Jiaxiang went to the office to pester Sir Zheng according to your wishes. Come with me quickly!" Wang Jiayun's loud voice was really unreasonable, and he could be heard yelling across the street from a long distance away.

Not far from Camellia Building is the Suwu Bus Terminal. After passing Changfa Street and walking for a while, they came to the Xinhui Chamber of Commerce School of Xiangjiang Siyi Chamber of Commerce and Industry where they were studying.

This name is a bit outrageous, and usually it is not called the full name, but it is shortened to Xinhui Chamber of Commerce School.

The reason for this long list of school names is because of Xiangjiang's school classification system.

The types of primary schools in Hong Kong are generally divided into four categories: fee-paying direct subsidy primary schools and private primary schools, accounting for about 10% of the number of primary schools; the rest are free government primary schools and aided primary schools, accounting for about 90% of the number of primary schools.

Direct subsidy primary schools enjoy partial government subsidies, and the tuition fees are moderate. The biggest feature is that they can study from primary school to secondary school, and the secondary schools of Solitaire are also famous secondary schools such as St. Paul's Co-educational College and Diocesan Girls' College; There is no government subsidy, so the tuition fees charged are relatively high, but most of them are directly affiliated or associated with one-stop prestigious secondary schools.

It can be said that after entering these two types of primary schools, besides the high cost, there is basically no need to worry about going to secondary schools, so they are the first choice schools for many upper-middle-class families.

As for government primary schools and aided primary schools, since the vast majority of school running funds come from government subsidies, school places are allocated according to districts.Although most of the students are children from middle- and lower-class families, there are a large enough number of them, and there are some well-known primary schools with high enrollment rates.

Government primary schools are public primary schools managed by the Education Bureau, so most of the school names are "XX Government Primary Schools".

The last subsidized primary schools are also called subsidized primary schools. They are the most numerous types of primary schools in Xiangjiang, accounting for about 80% of the total number of primary schools. Most of the primary schools are run by the school sponsoring organization to apply for the government to receive school running subsidies, and appoint a school board to manage the school.

Since the school building of the aided primary school is built by the school sponsoring body, the school sponsoring body has the right to name the school, and the "Xinhui Chamber of Commerce School of Xiangjiang Siyi Chamber of Commerce and Industry" where Su Yun studied is a typical aided primary school.

Of course, it is also a typical garbage school. The campus has small buildings, small classrooms, and few students. There are only 2 classes in each grade, and there are about 50 students in each class. Finish counting.

When he followed Wang Jiaju to the office, apart from Wang Jiaxiang who pretended to ask questions with a distressed face, there were also two students who were clearly older than him, a man and a woman.

"According to the rules, each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades chooses one person to participate in the team competition. I understand that you are in a hurry now, but the original candidate for the junior fourth grade is sick, and I can't find anyone else for a while..."

In this era, Hong Kong’s school system followed the British education system, and the grades were called differently from those in mainland China. Primary schools were Primary [-] to Primary [-], and middle schools were only called Secondary [-] to Secondary [-], regardless of middle or high school.

Generally speaking, most people in this era will go abroad for further study or work in the society after finishing Form [-], and then take the national exam similar to the college entrance examination. , Form seven.

When the summer vacation is approaching, it is said that it is the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, but in fact it is the current third, fourth, and fifth grades-most of the sixth grade students are busy with the middle school exams or finding a way out, and it is impossible to spare time to participate Competition, so it was postponed one level down.

Anyway, the final is in mid-August, so it's okay to call them fourth, fifth, or sixth graders.

It was also for this reason that Su Yun managed to catch the last train as a third grader who was about to be promoted to fourth grader.

"Sir Zheng! Susu said she was recovering from illness, and she wants to participate in that [-]th district competition in Hong Kong!" Wang Jiayun started yelling at the gate for fear that Su Yun's spot would be taken away.

"It's an inter-school knowledge competition for elementary school students in the eighteen districts of Hong Kong." The standing male student turned his head and saw that behind him was the famous bastard in the class pulling a thin and weak girl who looked sickly, and his face suddenly became a little bad. up.
