Sail across the sea

Chapter 111 Don't Delay Yourself

From Yang Kai's point of view, Gao Fan is a student from an even less developed county in an underdeveloped province. Even if his family loves him a little bit more, he still deserves it.

As a senior brother, he has already stayed in school to receive his salary, so he can naturally take his junior brother to the tooth-beating festival to get closer. Maybe this junior brother can become his right-hand man in the future.

With such a mentality, Yang Kai brought Gao Fan to the practice restaurant, and ordered two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a bottle of beer, which really cost him several dollars.

It's a pity that Gao Fan is not Wu Zixian, he doesn't owe himself anything when he usually eats, and the few dishes Yang Kai ordered are just "okay" to him, not to the point where he needs to be grateful.

When Gao Fan left home, Ran Yuying gave him the 800 yuan he had brought back from Renqiao.He thought that in the future, he would still be able to receive dividends calculated in units of [-] yuan from Chen Xingquan's paint factory, so he would not deliberately frugal in school life.He is also a frequent visitor to the internship restaurant.

Of course, he doesn't order food when he goes to the internship restaurant, he just goes to the small stir fry window to buy a small stir fry.The stir-fries in the internship restaurant are very affordable. The braised chicken nuggets cost [-] cents a piece, and the weight is almost half a catty, which is enough to satisfy the gluttony.

"Gao Fan, come here, eat more meat. You usually eat in the cafeteria, don't you have much meat?"

Yang Kai put the meat into Gao Fan's bowl, and asked in a loving tone of a senior brother.

"Thank you, brother. In fact, my usual food is okay. My parents both have jobs, and my sister graduated from technical secondary school this year, so she can earn a salary. I'm the only free eater in the family, so it's not too difficult." Gao Fan said.

"Oh, that's okay." Yang Kai nodded, then poured Gao Fan beer, and asked at the same time: "Have you ever drunk beer? This alcohol is not high, and you can drink it occasionally."

"Uh, I've had two drinks, so it's okay." Gao Fan replied dully.

In this era, beer is still a relatively unfamiliar drink for many freshmen in colleges.People in small counties are generally used to drinking hard alcohol, and the market for beer is not big, so many freshmen didn't even know that there was such a thing as beer until they went to college.

However, when the new students become old students, they will be more familiar with beer.University is a polite place, and everyone gets together, and if you get drunk, it's always not very elegant.Drinking some beer can be pleasant without losing your temper, and it is relatively easier to be accepted by the students.

Another point is that the university has more exchanges with foreign countries, and the foreign custom of drinking beer is more likely to be spread in the university.

Of course, the way of drinking with one person stepping on a box of big green sticks like the later generations is not seen in this era. At the end of 81, the price of beer rose across the board, and a bottle of beer sold for 0.49 yuan after deducting the return fee.A college student's monthly living expenses are enough to buy a case of beer. Who would dare to let go of it?

In Yang Kai's mind, Gao Fan probably never drank beer at all, that's why he asked that question.Unexpectedly, Gao Fan said that he had drunk it twice, which immediately made Yang Kai lose his sense of accomplishment.

"When you go to college, you still have to learn how to smoke and drink." Yang Kai said old-fashionedly, "I don't know these things, and I will suffer a lot if I work in the future."

"If you stay at school, it's okay if you don't know how to smoke and drink?" Gao Fan said.

Yang Kai shook his head: "You have to meet at school too. The old gentlemen handed you a cigarette, can you not smoke? When going out for a meeting, a few teachers from the school sit together, everyone drinks, you don't know how to drink, people What will you think?"

"That's true." Gao Fan was happy.

In later generations, the atmosphere of smoking and drinking in academic circles has been relatively weak.However, the habits formed by some old gentlemen when they were young are still difficult to change for a while. When academic conferences are held, these old gentlemen are often the ones clamoring for alcohol. If young scholars do not know how to drink, they will also be despised by the old gentlemen.

"Drinking is fine for me, smoking is fine." Gao Fan said.

Yang Kai said: "I'm not very good at smoking, but when someone offers cigarettes, it's okay to smoke one or two. You are still an undergraduate student, so you don't have to learn to smoke. Smoking is too expensive. I know some Students have to save their meal tickets to buy cigarettes because of their heavy cigarette addiction, which affects their health too much.”

"Isn't it? How can you still have such a big addiction?" Gao Fan was dumbfounded.

Yang Kai sneered and said: "What's so strange about this? There are many people who feel that they are young and hungry. There used to be girls in other schools who ate only one meal a day in order to save money and buy beautiful clothes. I was reluctant to eat. As a result, I fell ill from hunger, and had to drop out of school halfway through the book."

"After all, I'm still poor." Gao Fan sighed.

He thought of the legend about the "kidney machine" that was passed down in later generations. Although he couldn't be sure if it was a marketing draft issued by the fruit machine, it was not uncommon for some people to masturbate themselves in order to pretend to be fake.

"Isn't it?" Yang Kai said, "So the best place to be assigned after graduation is to go to a unit with good welfare, such as finance, banking, post and telecommunications, and the worst is to enter a large enterprise. After graduation like me Those who are willing to stay in school are all fools."

"Brother, are you a fool?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.

Yang Kai said: "I can't tell. To be honest, seeing other students go to work, they can get benefits every three days, and there are various types of allowances. I am also envious.

"In our school, it's really called Qingshui Yamen. No, we don't even count as Yamen. We have no money and no power. To put it bluntly, it's hard to find a partner."

Gao Fan nodded and said, "Yes, under such circumstances, those who are willing to stay in the school either have no skills at all, cannot find a better unit, or have a true love for scientific research."

"So, after you graduate, would you consider staying in school?" Yang Kai looked at Gao Fan and asked.

Gao Fan shook his head: "Like I said, this question is beyond the outline. I'm still a freshman, and it's too early to graduate."

Yang Kai said: "It's actually not too early. If you want to find a good unit after graduation, you might as well participate in more school activities now and show your face in front of the leaders. This will be helpful for your future assignments. On the contrary , if you consider staying in school to do scientific research, you can start to determine a direction now and do it in a down-to-earth manner for a few years.

"You don't need to take undergraduate courses, which is equivalent to entering scientific research four years earlier than others, and every step in the future is faster than others. This advantage is too great.

"Gao Fan, I can see that you are a person with ideas, you should make up your minds early and don't delay yourself."

"Thank you brother for your advice. Come on, let me toast you."

Gao Fan picked up his beer glass and gestured to Yang Kai.
