The late 1990s and early 2000s were a very magical era.

With the intensification of reform and opening up, people's living standards are getting better and better, and people gradually become indifferent to spiritual pursuits and pursue material pursuits.

In the 1960s and 1970s, if you were a teacher in a certain school or a doctor in a certain hospital, you would definitely be respected by everyone.

Everyone will think that you are knowledgeable and cultured, and your career is also very enviable.

If you are an industrial worker in a factory, you can work down-to-earth and be respected and loved by everyone.

But now, no matter what your profession is, the one who can make money is the boss.

Even if you are a teacher or a doctor, if your salary is not high and your family is poor, you will still be looked down upon.

Laughing at the poor but not at prostitution almost started in the late 1990s.

When everyone saw that Yang Ling was going to give Su Yi a birthday gift, they were all very curious. They wondered what kind of birthday gift Su Yi, a husband who works in an electronics factory, could give Su Yi?

Yang Ling opened her satchel and took out a white box the size of a brick.

This packaging makes people very curious.

Huang Hui and Wang Fengzhi both took a few steps closer to see what the gift was.

After Chen Xiao handed the gift to Su Yi, Su Yi was shocked.

It turned out to be a mobile phone.

Su Yi was happy this time.

Cell phones are much easier to use than pagers.

Moreover, mobile phones in this era are very expensive, costing at least 10,000 yuan.

Su Yi was very happy inside, but on the surface she was still a little bit reproachful and said, "Why did you buy such expensive things?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Isn't it possible that I can hear your voice anytime and anywhere?"

This situation made Su Yi blush, but she was very happy inside.

Su Yi was actually very touched. Sometimes when giving gifts to girls, the price is not important, the most important thing is the friendship.

But in fact, price does matter.

A girl received gifts from two boys at the same time.

One gave a BMW worth hundreds of thousands, and the other gave flowers worth one or two hundred yuan.

It's obvious which boy will have a plus point in a girl's heart.

"Mobile phone!" Wang Fengzhi couldn't believe it.

Mobile phones are not those small gifts costing several hundred yuan.

But it costs more than 10,000 yuan.

The salary of a teacher at Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School is just over 700 yuan a month.

A year's salary may not be enough to buy a mobile phone.

Su Yi’s husband bought him a mobile phone today?

Wang Fengzhi couldn't believe it.

When she was with the big boss before, she also wanted a mobile phone.

Maybe because the price was too expensive, the man didn't buy it for her at all. At most, she gave him a pager, which was a digital pager and didn't display in Chinese.

Now Su Yi actually has a mobile phone, how could this not be enviable!

When Yang Ling was selling mobile phones, he had already applied for a network access permit for Su Yi.

So he took the initiative to help Su Yi open the phone box and then turned it on.

Then he took out his cell phone and made a call to Su Yi.

The phone rang loudly.

This is a real phone!

This time, Huang Hui, Wang Fengzhi and others were no longer calm.

Yang Ling indeed gave Su Yi a brand new mobile phone, worth more than 10,000 yuan.

And Yang Ling himself is actually using a mobile phone.

In this era, mobile phones are a symbol of identity and status.

Ordinary public employees cannot afford it, mainly big bosses use it.

Now Su Yi and Yang Ling actually have mobile phones, which makes Huang Hui, Wang Fengzhi and others feel a little envious and embarrassed.

Huang Hui and Wang Fengzhi never believed that Yang Ling was a worker in the electronics factory.

It's incredible how a worker in an electronics factory can buy two mobile phones when his monthly salary is four to five hundred yuan.

Unless he steals or robs!

Yang Ling rarely paid attention to these teachers, so she took Su Yi's hand and left the school.

This time, the attitudes of Huang Hui and Wang Fengzhi changed.

He also smiled and took the initiative to say goodbye to Yang Ling and Su Yi and said, "You two, go and do your work first. Su Yi is so happy!"

On the way, Su Yi hugged Yang Ling tightly. She said with some worry: "Would my colleagues be unhappy if you did that just now?"

It is normal for Su Yi to feel worried like this.

Because she has just arrived at the school, she still hopes to have a good relationship with her colleagues.

Of course Yang Ling knew Su Yi's worries.

He said to Su Yi: "Don't worry, when you come to school on Monday, you will find that Teacher Huang and Teacher Wang will respect you more."

There were many things that Yang Ling couldn't explain more clearly to Su Yi.

In fact, put it in the simplest terms.

The better Su Yi shows her family situation, the more respect she will gain from everyone.

On the contrary, if Su Yi's family conditions are ordinary, her husband will also be a loser.

So life in school is not easy either.

Dislike the poor and love the rich will exist in any era.

Yang Ling put her arms around Su Yi's slender waist and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry about it so much. Today is your birthday, let's go have a good meal!"

When Yang Ling invites Tong Jia to dinner, he will choose some lively but inexpensive food stalls.

It's not because Yang Ling is reluctant to spend money, but because Tongjiang is tired of those high-end restaurants, and eating food stalls is a complete change of taste.

When dining with Su Yi, Yang Ling would find some high-end restaurants similar to Western restaurants.

Because Su Yi is usually reluctant to go to these places, thinking that the consumption in this place is too high and it is a waste of money.

Using her birthday as an excuse to bring Su Yi here is something she has always wanted to eat but couldn't bear to eat.

Just when the two of them were going to the Western restaurant, Su Yi's pager rang.

Su Yi's pager is in Chinese, so she can see the content of the page.

After seeing the text on the pager, Su Yi's expression changed somewhat.

Yang Ling immediately saw the change in Su Yi's mood and asked, "What's wrong? Who sent the message."

Su Yi finally couldn't help but said: "Yang...Yang Ling, I'm sorry."

Without even thinking about it, Yang Ling knew that the message should be from someone from the Su family.

He smiled and said, "If you're sorry, please send me a message from your mother."

Su Yi nodded and said, "Mom said today is my birthday and asked me... let me go back to have dinner with you."

When Su Yi said this, her voice was very low.

Because she knew very well the conflict between the Su family and Yang Ling.

There were several times when my parents and brother were bossy towards Yang Ling, and the relationship between the two parties was also very stiff.

If Su Yi proposed to go home for dinner, Yang Ling would definitely be very unhappy.

Su Yi is a kind girl. Although her parents and Su Qiao have a very bad attitude towards her, Su Yi cannot let go of her feelings.

Su Yi didn't want to embarrass Yang Ling, nor did she want Yang Ling to suffer the grievance again, so she said, "I'll go back to them. Tonight is my evening self-study, so I can't go back."

Yang Ling could tell at a glance what Su Yi was thinking. He smiled and said: "The child's birth day is the mother's Good Friday. She should go back."

When Su Yi heard what Yang Ling said, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she said with a little excitement: "Really? Then... do you want to go back with me?"

Yang Ling said: "Go back, why don't you go back? Your mother's family is not a dragon's den, so you don't have to eat me?"

Yang Ling's words made Su Yi very happy. She hugged Yang Ling's arm and said, "Let's buy some braised vegetables and then go back together."

Yang Ling's willingness to return to the Su family with Su Yi is not Yang Ling's compromise.
