Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 661 Ordinary People (Third update, please subscribe)

He opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

Looking up, the sky outside the window was still gray, only vaguely bright.

I looked at the time, it was a little after five o'clock.

However, Zhao Zhishen still put on his clothes and went to wash up. After washing up, he walked out of the house, moved around in front of the house for a while, and then started running. He didn't run fast, just jogging. His breathing was even, and he ran. It took five or six minutes to start sweating, and fine sweat slowly seeped out from the body.

What follows is a burst of physical and mental pleasure during exercise.

Because he is young, Zhao Zhishen also has good endurance. After running for about half an hour, he still did not slow down.

The sky gradually became brighter, and people started to get up one after another.

Although most of the people who got up were women who needed to take care of housework, there were also some people who joined in the exercise. Some of them went out for a walk, and some got up early to run.

Chen Heqin is one of them. Although he is the director of education, he is just a resident here. The residents in this community include senior officials like him, senior company employees, and of course more ordinary people. They have civil servants and corporate employees.

There is no such thing as a certain ministry or a certain committee compound in Nanyang. In fact, at the beginning, someone did suggest this - in order to facilitate everyone's work, it would be more convenient to have a building in the front and a compound in the back, but Li Yian directly rejected this suggestion.

Why did he reject this proposal? Because he is very clear about the disadvantages of doing so - the compound itself is a circle. The children of a compound grew up together, and they naturally formed their own circle. He understands the pros and cons of this circle. I understand.

So there are a few things that need to be eliminated from the start. Therefore, even if you are the chief minister, you have two choices - one is to live in an official residence provided by the government, and you will live there during your tenure and must move out within a week after leaving office, and the other is to live in your own home.

Chen Heqin chose the latter because it was more convenient to live in his own home. The only inconvenience was the police... The police added two patrol cars, which was the chief's only privilege.

"Zhishen, are you coming to run too?"

Chen Heqin immediately smiled when he saw his neighbor running.

It's Uncle Chen.

Zhao Zhishen replied while running:

"Yes, Uncle Chen."

Although he knew that Uncle Chen was the director of education and he was just an ordinary high school student, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Being the chief is just a job, well, his dad is also a bus driver!
Chen Heqin smiled and said:
"Running is good. Running exercises and your body gets better. Whether you are studying or working after graduation, it is beneficial. Only when you are in good health can you study and work well."

In fact, the reason why he said this was because the child would study until 12 o'clock every night, which was really too hard. So I always wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it.

I happened to bump into him while running today, so I can give you a few words of caution. After all, your body is the most important thing.

"Ah."

Zhao Zhishen, who is not good at communicating with others, responded.

Seeing that he remained silent, Chen Heqin smiled even more:
"By the way, Zhishen, how have you been studying lately? I heard from your dad that you have been working very hard recently and have made great progress."

Zhao Zhishen shook his head and said:

"I'm still far from it. I don't have a strong foundation. If I want to get into a good university, I have to work harder to catch up with others. Moreover, my English is poor. Getting into university will be difficult in English."

Nodding, Chen Heqin said:

"That's true, but don't be discouraged. There is still one year before the college entrance examination. It's okay to take a surprise. If you don't understand anything in English, you can ask me. I'm basically at home after nine o'clock." For graduates, For Chen Heqin from Tsinghua University who has studied in the United States for five years, there is absolutely no problem in providing tutoring and English instruction.

For this child, if someone tutors him, he will definitely work harder than himself, and he will have to save some time so that he can rest better.

"Well, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Chen. If there is anything I don't understand, I will definitely ask you."

Zhao Zhishen smiled.

"Absolutely, don't be polite, we are just neighbors helping each other!"

Chen Heqin added:

"But don't waste your body just to study. You must pay attention to the balance between work and rest... You must control your study time. Only by going to bed early and getting up early can you have good health. Do you understand?"

This is the point. It was almost eleven o'clock last night. Even in high school, you can't fight like this.

Zhao Zhishen said quickly:
"I understand, thank you Uncle Chen for your concern."

Chen Heqin, who could no longer keep up with the rhythm, waved his hand and said after achieving his goal.

"Okay, Zhishen, you run slowly. I'm old and need to rest for a while. I'll walk for a while."

Looking at the young man walking away, Chen Heqin couldn't help but sigh.

"It's great to be young!"

……

After walking in the community for half an hour, Chen Heqin walked towards the nearby vegetable market. Entering the vegetable market, the market was as noisy as ever, with people buying and selling vegetables, and people coming and going. It was so lively, Chang'an Most of the vegetable markets in China are like this. Everyone comes to buy some vegetables before going to work. Of course, there are also some people who buy vegetables after get off work in the afternoon. During the day, there are not many people in the vegetable market.

After wandering around the market for a while, Chen Heqin said that when he walked into a butcher shop that he often went to, the owner said hello from afar:
"Sir, you are here! What do you want?"

Chen Heqin said:
"Cut one pound of pork and one pound of beef. For pork, please have five belly."

While talking, Chen Heqin took out the ration card. This is also a characteristic of Nanyang. Although Nanyang has abundant supplies, it still uses ration cards. At first, Chen Heqin could not understand it. After all, as we all know, Nanyang's goods are very rich, but why However, when it comes to food, the rationing system is still implemented. Although the supply is sufficient, without a ration certificate, even those who eat meat will not be able to eat.

But later, after staying for a long time, he almost understood that this is a means of control. The purpose of control is achieved through food rationing. Although the purpose does not seem simple, it is also a means used for social security, but To ensure that unnecessary unrest occurs.

After all, no one can live without food.

"Okay, great five flowers..."

The butcher shop owner made a quick cut, weighed it, and said.

"Sir, there are two catties and thirty taels in total. The meat coupons are two catties and thirty taels. The price of pork is one catty for you, which is eight cents. Beef is one catty and twenty taels..."

While he was calculating the accounts, he quickly tied the meat with straw and handed it to Chen Heqin.

A ticket is a ticket, and money is money. You can't buy anything if you have a ticket but no money, and you can't buy anything if you have money but no tickets. Chen Heqin has long been used to this.

At the vegetable market, like everyone else, he bought things with tickets, bargained with vendors, carried meat tied with straw, and then bought some vegetables. After walking around in the vegetable market, Chen Heqin just carried her things and walked home. When she met familiar neighbors on the road, she would stand there and chat with them for a while, and they would just talk about gossip.

The human world is actually just like this, there is no high or low status, they are just ordinary ordinary people...
