Chapter 28
28. Inquire
"That day! Because I had a strange dream the night before, I was worried about grandma, so I ran back." Zhao Xiaoling explained truthfully.

"What the hell happened in your family? You didn't come for a while, and you said you were going to drop out of school as soon as you came?"

do you know?Fortunately, I ran back in time that day. My grandma was poisoned. Because of the timely rescue, she came back to life. At my request, the village reported the crime, and the poisoner was found out. You can't even imagine that it was me. Grandma’s daughter-in-law, she has been arrested and jailed for 16 years. It is reasonable to say that my grandma is the victim, but my grandma’s son is a jerk. The daughter-in-law was arrested and jailed, and the son and grandma also became Enemy, my grandma and I can't stay in Zhaojiagou any longer. I plan to take my grandma to leave Zhaojiagou and come to the county town to make a living. "

"Zhao Xiaoling, you are so big-minded and courageous enough to come to the county to make a living, how do you make a living?" The students were shocked and sympathetic to what happened to Zhao Xiaoling's family, but they did not dare to agree with Zhao Xiaoling's decision.

"Look for a job first, and if you can't find it, start a small business."

"Finding a job? How can it be so easy? Doing business? Are you not afraid of being cut off by the tail of capitalism?"

“Now there is no such thing as cutting capitalism’s tail.”

"Yes, now that the country has liberalized the policy, it can be bought and sold."

The students were not very optimistic about Zhao Xiaoling's decision, thinking that she was too unrealistic and crazy.

She is a child in the mountains with no power, no power and no background. It is a dream come true to find a job in the county. But doing business, doing these businesses in those days, was a low-level thing, almost the same as not doing business properly.

Most of the students advised Zhao Xiaoling not to be impulsive or to go to school, and only going to school is the best way out.

Only Li Qing supported Zhao Xiaoling.

Li Qing said: "Don't worry about Xiaoling, she is so smart, how could she do unreliable things? Maybe she will start a business, become a big fortune, and live a better life than any of us in the future! "

I don't know, I think Li Qing, as Zhao Xiaoling's good friend, is the person who understands her best. He said this to understand her and support her. Only Zhao Xiaoling understands that she just hopes that Zhao Xiaoling will give up her studies and make troubles. Real life is so cruel. I believe Zhao Xiaoling can make waves, she is waiting to see her jokes!

If she hadn't experienced those things in her previous life, Zhao Xiaoling wouldn't see anything wrong with Li Qing's words at this moment.Today's Zhao Xiaoling has a clear understanding of Li Qing.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoling going to make up her own mind, the students can only wish her wishes come true.

The next morning, the students went to do their morning exercises. Zhao Xiaoling packed her bedding and quilts after washing, and put her daily necessities and books on the bed. She would come back to pick them up after the arrangement was made at the steel factory.

Zhao Xiaoling went to the school cafeteria to buy two steamed buns and ate them, then walked outside the school.

Because the time agreed with Wang Yuan was still early, Zhao Xiaoling walked around the county slowly by herself.

Thirty years later, the streets of the entire county have taken on a new look, most of the houses have been demolished, and the low and dilapidated houses have been built with more than four floors.

But now, there are old wooden bungalows everywhere, and the lively streets in the future are deserted at this time, and there are no shops with every inch of land, and the main purpose of every household is to live.

At this time, the country has just opened up trading, and people in this small county have no sense of doing business.

In the entire county, there is only a department store and the only shopping mall that sells department stores, a public cafeteria of a comprehensive company sells food, and a public barber shop under the comprehensive company.

In addition to these, there is also an agricultural product trading market, and a movie theater is a little more lively.

Nan County is an agricultural county. Except for the market day when farmers trade agricultural products and livestock, the streets are usually deserted.

In another two years, the country will vigorously promote reform and opening up, and more people will do business, and the streets will be bustling.

If you have money, buy a house facing the street now, and it will be a store in two years, and the price will rise like a rocket in a few years, so this is the best time to invest in buying a house.

Zhao Xiaoling walked slowly on the street alone. At this time, buying and selling houses was mostly passed on through word of mouth, because there were few people buying and selling, unlike later generations, there were various intermediary companies all over the street. Again, there were also houses at the door. Post a sale notice.

Zhao Xiaoling looked at these houses one by one. While studying whether this location is better or that location, she recalled the various changes in these streets in the next 30 years. Her abnormal behavior caused an old lady to panic. Notice.

She walked towards Zhao Xiaoling, and Zhao Xiaoling, who was only looking at the house, almost bumped into her.Zhao Xiaoling was startled.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I almost ran into you."

"Who are you? What do you do? Why are you sneaking around here?" The aunt said with a serious face.

Zhao Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, she knew this person, she was from the sub-district office, her surname was Yu, everyone called her Aunt Yu, but Zhao Xiaoling had a difficult life in her previous life, she was full of sorrow, because her husband was a gambler, many People look down on her, she also has low self-esteem, and she doesn't have much friendship with people outside, and this is also the case with Aunt Yu. She only knows that there is such a person as her, and she doesn't know what kind of person she is.

Zhao Xiaoling looked around. At this time, people went to school, went to work, and those who farmed were busy in the fields. It was unusual for her to hang around other people's houses like this. The aunt saw her as something different. Well-intentioned people.

Zhao Xiaoling smiled and said: "Auntie, I am a worker in a steel factory. My family is in Zhaojiagou. There is only my grandma in my family. I want to take her to live with me. My grandma lives in the dormitory with me. It’s convenient, so I want to buy a house, but I don’t know anyone who wants to sell a house, so come and see.”

The tense muscles on Aunt Yu's face eased a little, and she looked Zhao Xiaoling up and down.

"You work in a steel factory? But I think you still look like a student."

"Yes, I was studying in No. [-] Middle School before, and my family was in difficulty. It was very difficult for me to go to school, so I had to go to work."

"It's easy for you to say, because my family can't afford to study, so I go to work, and I still work in a good unit like a steel factory. Even after graduating from high school, I may not be able to find a good unit like a steel factory." Aunt Yu obviously didn't believe it.

"I am an orphan, and my only relative, my grandmother, is not my real grandmother. She adopted me, so the government took care of me and let me go to work in a steel factory."
