Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 272 Fate is beyond words!
"Brother, brother, brother Cao, you are finally here, I miss you so much!"

Cao Zhiqiang was also deeply moved by Qiao Simi's rushing over and hugging him, and his affectionate words.

Ever since, Cao Zhiqiang smiled and lowered his head to touch the top of Qiao Simei's head: "Simei, I miss you too."

"You lie!" Because of her height, Qiao Simei, who could only hold Cao Zhiqiang's butt with her hands, suddenly raised her head, "If you really miss me, why haven't you come to me for so long? Do you know how much I miss you? You don't even miss me, hum!"

Speaking of this, Qiao Simei let go of her hands and pursed her mouth, obviously angry.

Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, knelt down and said, "Okay, Simei, it's my fault. I shouldn't just be busy with work and ignore you. I accept the punishment and treat you to a big meal to make amends another day, okay?"

"It's not too bad." Qiao Simei laughed, "I want to eat Western food!"

"Okay, let's eat western food!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"I still want to buy a beautiful dress!" Qiao Simei said the conditions again.

"No problem!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded again.

"I still want to go to the zoo." Qiao Simi said again.

This time, before Cao Zhiqiang could speak, Cao Lili's voice came from behind: "Simei, that's enough! Don't go too far!"

"Hmph!" Qiao Simei crossed her arms, "But brother Cao is obviously wrong."

"That's right, that's right, it's my fault." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, then stood up, "Okay, tomorrow is Sunday, I'll take you to the zoo, is this okay?"

"Great!" Qiao Simei chuckled, "Well, since you are so sincere, I forgive you!"

Cao Lili shook her head, walked up to Cao Zhiqiang and said, "Brother, come in first, what kind of words are blocking the door, it's embarrassing for people to see."

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang follow into the door, and then he found a tall, handsome young woman standing aside, smiling and nodding to him.

"Hello."

Cao Zhiqiang immediately realized that this was Xiang Dongfang, the tutor he had found for Cao Lili and Qiao Simei before.

Strictly speaking, Xiang Dongfang is not a teacher, she is still a student of Peking Normal School at this time.

However, unlike other college students, Xiang Dongfang is one of the very few people who are not in a hurry to graduate and practice after graduating from senior year, but continue to concentrate on studying in school and continuing to study for graduate school.

To put it more simply, Xiang Dongfang is a graduate student at this time, a proper graduate student, not an undergraduate student.

The postgraduate entrance examination is very common in later generations, but in [-], it was still a very rare thing.

It's not that graduate students are not recognized, on the contrary, the gold content of graduate students is properly high at this time.

The main reason is that graduate students during this period are too difficult.

Especially for ordinary people, firstly, it is not easy to pass the exam, and secondly, they think that the cost-effectiveness is not high, and they do not have enough understanding of graduate students.

Because even if you are admitted as a graduate student, you still have to study for at least three more years.

This time is a heavy burden for most ordinary families at this time.

Especially for girls who generally get married very early during this period, it is an unacceptable thing.

And even if you graduate from a graduate school, it seems that the gold content is higher than that of a bachelor's degree, but in fact it is not much higher.

Especially if you go to a factory or a public institution, the postgraduates go there at least three years later than other undergraduates in the same period, which is equivalent to three years less working years, which is a real loss.

Then, postgraduates work in government agencies and institutions, and the difference from undergraduates is not too big, not too big.

On the contrary, places like some key universities have a relatively high demand for graduate students.

But the problem is that the salaries of university teachers are actually not high at this time, otherwise there would be no such thing as those who study missiles are inferior to those who sell tea eggs.

Of course, generally speaking, the gold content of graduate students is still very high, they are very respected, and they will be more popular in the medium and long term.

But the problem is that the cost of a three-year graduate degree is very high, and it is difficult for ordinary families to afford it.

For ordinary people at this time, the shorter the schooling time, the better.

Therefore, few of the students who can be tested at this time are from poor families.

But in the early 80s, how many families with good family conditions fully supported their children's exams, and were able to pass the exam?
Very rare!
Of course, other issues are minor issues.

To put it bluntly, the most important reason why there are so few students taking the postgraduate entrance examination at this time is that the postgraduate examination at this time is extremely difficult, even more difficult than the college entrance examination.

Those who can be admitted to graduate school during this period are all real top academics, and they are all truly gifted geniuses.

If you are not a genius student, don't think about graduate students at this time, because it is too difficult, and there is no way to go through the back door.

The trend of taking postgraduate entrance examinations through the back door actually gradually appeared after the 90s, but in the early 80s, sincerity had not yet begun.

Because in the early 80s, most of the ordinary students in colleges and universities who could recruit graduate students on their own were still ineffective at this time.

Historically, it was only in 1981 that China officially started the degree system, divided into so-called bachelor, master, and doctor.

The first batch of self-trained doctors in China, the so-called Eighteen Doctors, only appeared in May 1983.

In other words, at this time, there are no doctors in China trained by their own universities, only imported doctors.

As for these imported PhDs, the moral level is generally relatively high. Their standards for measuring students are firstly the level of talent, and secondly the level of morality, both of which are indispensable.

The number of colleges and universities is small, and the threshold is extremely high. It is naturally difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and it is naturally uneconomical.

In other words, graduate students are a very scarce and precious resource at this time. Although they don't care about background or money, there are very few who can be admitted to graduate students.

It is precisely because the testing standards are too high that ninety-nine out of ten college students will not consider studying for graduate school. It is a waste of time and energy.

At this time, those who can really go to graduate school, and those who dare to go to graduate school, are either ignorant people who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, or they are true geniuses.

Obviously, this Ms. Xiang Dongfang is definitely not an ignorant person, but a real genius.

That's right, if he's not a genius, he won't be recommended to Cao Zhiqiang.

Strictly speaking, Xiang Dongfang was recommended to Cao Zhiqiang by a female teaching assistant of Beijing Normal University, and that female teaching assistant was a student of a high-ranking official and a friend of Hao Shuwen, and she also attended the forest dance.

Cao Zhiqiang got to know the female teaching assistant through Hao Shuwen, and through that female teaching assistant, he got the gifted student Xiang Dongfang.

At the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang didn't pay much attention to this. It was only later that Xiang Dongfang started living here, and then through Cao Lili's mouth, he knew that this sister Xiang was a genius.

Especially in mathematics, this item is far superior to ordinary people, and his English level is also very high. He is a proper genius-type academic bully.

The problem is that Xiang Dongfang is not only a top student, but also a good educator. Since she came, not to mention Cao Lili's academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds, even Qiao Simi, who Cao Zhiqiang thinks is not good at studying, has miraculously increased her academic performance. .

If Xiang Dongfang's education level was not really good, Cao Zhiqiang would not have agreed to let her live here.

"Oh, Xiaoxiang, you're here too." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

"Hehehe." Qiao Simei suddenly laughed from behind.

"What are you laughing at?" Cao Zhiqiang turned to look at Qiao Simei.

Qiao Simi laughed and said, "Brother Cao, you are only 19 years old this year, but sister Xiang is 22 this year, she is three years older than you! She is older than you, and you still call her Xiaoxiang, don't you find it funny? "

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiang Dongfang again. He really didn't expect that the other party was 22.

But when I think about it, it’s true that everyone has gone to graduate school, so 22 is normal.

"It doesn't matter." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "Manager Cao is used to being a leader, so it's normal to say that. And I don't pay too much attention to this. On the contrary, I think it's more affectionate for you to call me Xiao Xiang."

"Hehe." Cao Zhiqiang smiled awkwardly, "Ms. Xiang was joking."

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's embarrassment, Xiang Dongfang pursed his lips and smiled again: "Manager Cao, you should sit down quickly. Strictly speaking, you are the host and I am the guest. If you don't sit down, I will always stand and accompany you." You."

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Xiang Dongfang and laughed, "That's right."

Nodding, Cao Zhiqiang went to the sofa and sat down, and then Xiang Dongfang took the initiative to pour a glass of water: "Leader, you drink water. If you are not used to drinking, I will pour you tea?"

"No need, no need." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hands, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Looking at Xiang Dongfang again, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiang, sit down too, let's chat. It seems that since you came, we have never sat down and talked in detail like this?"

"Okay." Xiang Dongfang smiled and sat opposite Cao Zhiqiang, "You are the leader, and you are busy with work, so it is normal to ignore this matter. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have asked me to help these two sisters with their homework. "

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang poured himself a glass of water, held the glass in both hands and said, "Manager Cao, I have never had a chance to thank you. Now I use water instead of wine. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and a place to stay."

After speaking, Xiang Dongfang drank the glass of water by himself.

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned by this: "Wait, you came to teach my sister, I should thank you, why should you thank me?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled and said: "That's right, you let me stay here for a long time, and you gave me such a high tutoring fee, which helped me a lot.

Don't say that your tutoring fee is higher than the salary of our school's lecturers, and that you can meet my needs in life perfectly, just let me live here, and let me have a better learning environment, then you say, I should Shouldn't you be thanking you? "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Well, you said that tutoring fees are high. I don't deny this, but the learning environment here is better than the school?"

"Of course." Xiang Dongfang said.

"You don't know, I'm a graduate student, if I live on campus now, I can only continue to live in the student dormitory, but the student dormitory, how can it compare with this place.

Not to mention anything else, just say that there is a water heater here, and you can take a bath every day, which is incomparable to university dormitories.

And it's not far from the university where I study, and you don't charge me rent. This is the life I dream of. "

Cao Zhiqiang laughed dumbly: "That's it, it's okay, you can make my two sisters' grades improve by leaps and bounds, and you can help me take care of them, which is also a great help to me, so let you live here for free, and give you tutoring fees, It’s all due, not to mention thanks, at most it’s mutual help and mutual benefit.”

Xiang Dongfang shook his head: "This is what makes you extraordinary."

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang sighed: "To be honest, I have many classmates who are also tutoring some leaders' children.

But these people are tutors for the children of the leaders, and there is no tutoring fee at all, and they all give their children free tutoring.

Moreover, these people who teach others have never heard of a situation where the leader arranges a house for people to live outside for free. They all go back to the dormitory by themselves after tutoring for the students.

I dare not say the treatment you gave me in the whole capital, but at least in the whole Peking Normal University, this is definitely the first one. "

"Oh, is that so?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "That is to say, those of your classmates not only don't charge tuition fees, but also give them free tutoring, and they have to go back to the dormitory, and don't even give them a place to live? "

"Exactly." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang said strangely: "If this is the case, who would be willing to make up lessons for others? It's no good, and it's a waste of time. What's the point?"

"Of course it's meaningful." Xiang Dongfang said, "First of all, the teachers or teaching assistants who can let you go to make up lessons are usually introduced by the school's teachers or teaching assistants, and the leaders who can find school leaders to introduce make up teachers have a certain amount of energy in themselves.

Not to mention local students, especially some non-local students, if they want to stay in the capital, they must be accepted by the local unit, which requires the help of the local leaders.

Therefore, although it is free to make up lessons for the leader's children, it can be affirmed by the leader.

As long as the leader is satisfied, he can help these people stay in the capital by helping them casually when they graduate.

It is precisely because of this that it is a very desirable opportunity to make up lessons for leaders, and many people rush to do it. "

"Oh, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "So you rushed to do it too?"

"I'm not." Xiang Dongfang said, "I was Assistant Professor Gan who found me and asked me to come to you to help."

"Assistant Gan, you mean Gan Hongzhuang?" Cao Zhiqiang laughed.

"Yes, that's her." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

Gan Hongzhuang is that high-ranking son and one of Hao Shuwen's sisters. When Cao Zhiqiang attended the forest dance, he had a relationship with Gan Hongzhuang, and the two sides also left their contact information.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang didn't have much idea about others, because Gan Hongzhuang didn't say that she was very good-looking, and she was almost 30 years old, and she also had a husband who belonged to the son of a high-ranking official.

This kind of person should never be provoked at this time, but it is still very good to get along as ordinary friends or contacts.

"Sister Gan took the initiative to find you. Are you very close to her?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"I'm not familiar with you at all." Xiang Dongfang shook his head and said, "Assistant Gan and I can only be regarded as acquaintances. The relationship is very ordinary. I really didn't expect that she would find me suddenly and recommend me to be your tutor."

"Oh, is that so?" Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Wait, you are from Nanjing, right?"

"Yes." Xiang Dongfang nodded.

"Then I understand." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled.

"That's right. When I asked Sister Gan, that is, assistant teacher Gan Hongzhuang, for help, I made it clear that the best tutor is from Nanjing.

Because my two younger sisters grew up in Nanjing, I wanted to find a Nanjing native, so that I could appear friendly.

It seems that Assistant Professor Gan deliberately screened out students from Nanjing, and then screened out girls, and then came to find them based on their academic performance.

Because I also said at the time, it is best to find someone with good academic performance. "

"So that's it." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "It seems that we can know each other, it is really fate."

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded emotionally, "Yuan, it's amazing!"
