Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 403 Chapter 402 Utilitarianism
A bit tiring but full, a meal of eight steamed buns made many students greedy.

After learning about the situation at the construction site, many students were eager to try and communicate with Tang Zhitong to see if they could be placed in the next batch.

Some students were still hesitant about whether to go and talk now, but some students had already taken action and took the initiative to ask Tang Zhitong: "Teacher Tang, when will we go to the construction site again? I want to go too."

"I don't know. It depends on the arrangements in the college. I'll ask later." Tang Zhitong stopped the pen in his hand and said to his classmates kindly.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Tang." This classmate came over and asked. In fact, he knew that there was little hope. He just wanted to leave a positive impression on Tang Zhitong so that he could be ranked in the second batch.

Looking at the expectant looks of other students, Tang Zhitong sighed inwardly, stood up and walked to the podium, comforting the restless classmates: "Students, I understand everyone's mood very well, and they must all want to contribute to social construction. ”

"As college students, we are all the future pillars of the country. Now we can study with peace of mind, learn skills well, and then go to work and serve the people well." There are many things that cannot be said, and saying them out is not conducive to unity, so Tang Zhitong only Be able to hold it high and persuade it.

"There are definitely opportunities now, but not many. After all, our main task is to study hard. I will work hard to fight for it. Please be more patient." Judging from Tang Zhitong's expression, most students can accept him. ’s statement, and finally said what he wanted to emphasize.

Work-study programs have a long history, not only in China but also abroad. However, the opportunities are definitely limited and it is impossible to take care of everyone. Even if Wei Zhizhen asked Tang Zhitong for help, Wei Zhizhen would not dare to openly focus on this opportunity again and again. Cable system class 593.

In addition, Tang Zhitong also deliberately delayed the matter. At present, the college is not so difficult that it is hungry. If the students are asked to respond to their requests, it will not be conducive to the subsequent work. After all, it is human nature to be insufficient.

Tang Zhitong understands this. He has never said that he wants to be rewarded since he was on duty since he was a child. What's more, college students still receive scholarships. Doing something within their ability for the school is actually serving themselves.

"All sectors of society have shown a very positive attitude towards making contributions. It is not easy for us to seize opportunities, and we don't know when the next one will be." Wei Zhizhen certainly understood what Tang Zhitong meant, but he knew better what the situation was outside.

It cannot be said that there are no work-study programs in schools, but they are very few. One of them is that those with particularly good grades can be substitute teachers. However, there are only a few in a grade, so it is not universal.

"That's necessary. It will definitely not affect your normal work. But having said that, you are efficient enough. You have responded in less than a week." Wei Zhizhen smiled and praised.

After leaving the office building, it is easier to talk.

"I understand, I just don't believe in the railway, and I have to believe in our own people." Wei Zhizhen was also a talkative, and had no intention of embarrassing Tang Zhitong.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Wei." Tang Zhitong nodded to Wei Zhizhen and said nothing more.

The voluntary labor that the Logistics Office obtained a few days ago is actually a type of work-study program. Because the teachers at the school have high incomes and are educated people, most of them look down on this kind of opportunity, so in the end they end up taking advantage of the students.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wei Zhizhen was very happy after hearing this.

"Haha, I have to come over and show my face. I'm looking forward to taking us with me next time when I have this opportunity to contribute to society." Tang Zhitong said his request in a joking way. Even if he was rejected, both parties were happy. Not too embarrassing.

The two chatted for a few more words before they dispersed.

The two chatted for a while, and Tang Zhitong learned from Wei Zhizhen that the college was going to build a swimming pool soon, and students would be arranged to move bricks and then collect and transport cabbage in November.

"Teacher Wei, you're polite. But there is one thing I have to tell you first. Things can be brought back with the self-contained mail truck of the Escort Department, but people from the college cannot. You also know that our escorts are under dual leadership. This rule There can be no exceptions." Tang Zhitong was afraid that Wei Zhizhen would not be clear about it, so he made it clear first to reduce trouble in the future.

There are work-study programs these days, but they are a bit different from those a few decades later. Most of the time, work-study programs are for external students, such as being a tutor, working as a temporary worker in a certain unit, etc.

Of course, these colleges will not give any remuneration for their own affairs, including but not limited to cash, bills, food, etc. It is pure dedication.

"Hello, Teacher Wei, the feedback from our classmates on this voluntary labor is very good. On behalf of my classmates, I came here to thank the Logistics Office for organizing this event." With other teachers present, Tang Zhitong naturally couldn't say something directly, so he could only find excuses to say it. Wei Zhizhen led him to a place convenient for conversation.

"Oh, Xiao Tang, you are so polite, you have to go all the way for something like this." Wei Zhizhen heard Xian's elegant intention and stood up to greet him.

Wei Zhizhen saw that Tang Zhitong wanted to leave, so he said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

"I must take what Teacher Wei said to heart." Regardless of whether Wei Zhizhen's words came from the bottom of his heart, Tang Zhitong responded politely. Business people are talking about exchanging blows. People who know how to behave will do this. This is regardless of age. It's just Many times this kind of verbal skills are just words and deeds and will not be made public.

Having said that, after Tang Zhitong finished speaking, he left the classroom and went to find Wei Zhizhen.

"Teacher Wei, I have asked our section chief for instructions on transportation. As long as the items are not too big and do not affect our normal transportation, we can help our school transport them." No one else was present. What Wei Zhizhen said last time Tang Zhitong gave an accurate reply.

After Tang Zhitong returned, in addition to doing his homework, he finally drew the drawing of the stove.

After class, Tang Zhitong didn't stop. He drove straight to the house rented by Gu Yong. He took out the half-finished house and smashed it with wooden boards, claw hammers and nails.

When it was almost time for classmate Xiao Wang to get off work, Tang Zhitong rushed to Beitu.

"Why are you here so late today?" Xiao Wang asked as he packed his things.

"There's a lot of homework. I wrote some at school and I don't want to take it home to do it." Tang Zhitong found an excuse to fool him.

"Oh, let's go." Xiao Wang didn't delve into it too much, but waited for Tang Zhitong to go out and locked the door.

Jiang Ye is raising a baby at home and has not come to work for a while. It has to be said that this kind of unit has advantages in this matter.

Tang Zhitong saw the remarks of the vice president of an IT company, "I'm not your mother-in-law," which made many people break their guard and say she was impersonal.

Tsk tsk tsk, let’s not say whether what she said or did was right, but as an adult, there is an iron rule: some things can only be done and cannot be told. If you break this rule, you will have to bear the consequences personally.

There hasn't been much good food in the college lately, most of the time it's shredded radish. Fengzhi first expressed her dissatisfaction, for no other reason than it wasn't delicious.

Although classmates Xiao Wang and Feng Zhen didn't say anything, they proved with their actions that they didn't like food, so Zhang Guifang directly asked Tang Zhitong to stop getting food from the college.

After returning home, Zhang Guifang had already prepared the meal.

There were still some tomato fish fillets left over from last night, so Zhang Guifang cut a few more potatoes into them, added some tomato sauce, and made them into tomato and potato fish fillets.

Tang Zhitong sighed in his heart: Okay, potatoes and tomatoes go well together. When fried into French fries, they are also dipped in tomato sauce. They must be edible after being stewed.

"Mom, it's not delicious." Fengzhi took a bite and complained to her mother.

"It's good to have food, but you're so picky. You're too hungry. If your brother and sister were young, having this to eat would be a great way to celebrate the New Year." Zhang Guifang hugged her daughter and gave her an education.

"Brother, is it true?" Although she felt her mother's Wuzhishan, it was not strong enough to make Fengzhi change her determination to seek proof.

"That must be true. I suffered from old age when I was a child. It was very difficult until your sister was three or four years old." When people get older, it is easy to recall the past. Most of the time, they are called "recalling the bitter and thinking of the sweet", but What Zhang Guifang said was true, so Tang Zhitong was very cooperative.

"Sister, do you still remember?" Fengzhi asked her brother for confirmation and then asked her sister for confirmation.

"I...I was still young at that time and can't remember clearly." Fengzhen was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"Do you think it was when you were a child? Your sister and I were malnourished when we were children and can remember things late. It would be good to be able to remember things at the age of five or six." Tang Zhitong knocked Fengzhi on the head and reminded her to concentrate on eating, otherwise she would be punished by Wuzhishan again. repression.

Zhang Guifang was speechless when she heard her son say that he was too late to remember. This is true. At that time, the child did not have enough to eat, and the five or six-year-old was still like a fool. His nose was runny, and his sleeves and cheeks were covered with a layer of armor. She is not active except for eating. It is very different from Fengzhi's performance when she was five or six years old.

After eating, Fengzhen's expression was a little tangled. She wanted to say something, but she was a little embarrassed to say it.

"Fengzhen, what's the matter?" Since coming to this era, Tang Zhitong has deliberately and subtly changed Fengzhen's character. It has been effective, but it is far from cheerful.

"My classmate praised the delicious pickles you made." Fengzhen hesitated and then said, biting her lips and waiting for Tang Zhitong's next words.

Tang Zhitong understood that Fengzhen might want pickles or have lunch together, or Fengzhen might have taken her classmates' words to heart and wanted to take the initiative to give them something.

Tang Zhitong was very happy that his sister could make friends, but he also understood that a pure friendship cannot be maintained by food alone, so he planned to have a good talk with his sister.

"Come on, take the mazazi and let's go and chat under the eaves." Tang Zhitong and Fengzhen pointed at the mazazi and went out first to light a cigarette.

Fengzhen followed closely with Mazhazi, and handed one to Tang Zhitong after going out.

"Fengzhen, first of all, let me make a premise. No matter what you choose after the discussion, I will unconditionally support your decision." Tang Zhitong took Mazhazi and sat down. After his sister also sat down, he said.

"Yes." Fengzhen nodded, waiting for her brother's next words.

"Can I listen?" Xiao Wang came out with a mazhazi and a piece of clothing. Without waiting for the brother and sister to answer, he sat directly next to his sister-in-law, put on Fengzhen's coat, and held her in his arms. .

"You've already sat down, how can I say I disagree?" Tang Zhitong took a sip and said cheerfully.

Fengzhen said nothing, just smiled and leaned into her sister-in-law's arms.

"Fengzhen, there are several types of interpersonal relationships. When a person is born, he has parents, sisters, brothers, and relatives. After he goes to school, he will have classmates and friends. When he joins the work, he will have colleagues, lovers, etc., but what can truly accompany you? I may not be able to grow up with you for a long time." Tang Zhitong told his sister according to his own understanding of life stages.

"Let me tell you the truth, it may be a bit cruel. People can make very few friends in this life. Friends refer to like-minded people, people who have friendship and deep friendship with each other, partners who can be trusted, and people who are in each other's heart. Someone who can lend a helping hand when in trouble." Tang Zhitong took another puff of cigarette to give Fengzhen some time to digest.

"Except for the three stages just mentioned, which cannot be changed by personal will, the others can be screened. If you want to go further, you must learn to screen and make friends." Kan Feng Jane nodded, and Tang Zhitong continued.

"For example, after I went to college, I was making friends with a little utilitarianism. College students, as you know, will become cadres after graduation. Maybe they can help me and you in some places in the future, so now I I am willing to help them as much as I can for the sake of long-term and possible rewards." When talking to his biological sister, Tang Zhitong didn't hide his secrets at all.

"Oh, our sister is still young, why are you telling her this?" Xiao Wang, a classmate, heard her husband say that he was utilitarian. This is not a good word, so he was a little unhappy. It is still the iron rule: some things can only be done Do it, you can't talk about it.

"Because when I was Fengzhen's age, I suffered such a loss. I thought I was a friend, but they used me as a melon seed messenger. I stole peaches and I climbed the tree. When the master came, all the ones who picked up and let loose ran away. I took a beating but didn't get a peach. I don't want Fengzhen to follow my old path," Tang Zhitong said mockingly.

It is said that the children of poor people become masters early. Being a master means doing housework for a few years in the early years. It does not help with worldliness. In the previous life, it took several years of stumbling into society to understand many truths that others had already understood.

Fengzhen glanced at her brother. She remembered this. He was twisted back by the master's family and beaten severely by his grandmother. However, he did not say that there were others at the time. He had to bear everything by himself.

"Fengzhen, I hope you can make friends at all stages. Don't imitate my utilitarianism, but you can't trade your own humbleness and flattery. Just follow your own inner feelings. I also hope you can be cheerful. , Be more confident, don’t be afraid of anything, your sister-in-law and I will support you." Tang Zhitong took the last puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.

"Be bold, don't be cautious, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Even if you make mistakes, your brother and I will be there to back you up." Classmate Xiao Wang felt the silence of his sister-in-law, touched her head, and said with a smile.

Tang Zhitong looked at classmate Xiao Wang and said in his heart, "Thank you. You really think highly of me. Do you think I will risk my life?"
However, Tang Zhitong is still very grateful to classmate Xiao Wang for saying this, because she is really relevant!
