Qiao Yicheng still had some luck. After entering high school, he was very nervous about his studies.
Neither the adults nor the children in the Qiao family continued to cause any trouble.
It allowed Qiao Yicheng to go to high school in a down-to-earth manner and seize the most critical years of his life.
The only thing that went wrong was that Qiao Zuwang disliked Qiao Yicheng and read with the light on at night, which was a small accident of wasting electricity.
Qiao Yicheng, determined to take the college entrance examination, would not pay attention to Qiao Zuwang's nagging.
But Niu Ye did not skip a grade, nor did he continue to be classmates with Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng's ideal has always been to become a scholar. When he was divided into subjects, he chose to study literature without hesitation.
Maybe you can also study liberal arts, and you don't need to buy so many tutoring materials, which has some connections.
Niu Ye was very obedient. People in the society said that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world. Niu Ye was very obedient and chose science.
The main reason is that Niu Ye has a foundation in science and it is easier to learn.
Niu Ye had forgotten most of the knowledge that needed to be memorized in the liberal arts, so he couldn't take advantage of it.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and in the summer of 1983, Niu Ye and Qiao Yicheng both took the college entrance examination at the same time.
When Niu Ye filled out his application, his first, second, and third choice was Nanjing Medical College, majoring in clinical medicine, and he did not accept adjustments.
Like Qiao Yicheng, the three choices are all for Nanjing Normal University, which is the same style.
After Niu Ye and Qiao Yicheng's notices were sent, it caused a sensation in the neighborhood.
This shabby place, Shamao Lane, can be considered a slum area in the city. It can only produce two college students.
As Aunt Wu said, a golden phoenix flew out of the chicken coop. This sentence is not nice but it is accurate.
It has been five or six years since the college entrance examination was resumed, and I finally became a college student.
Qiao Yicheng can be regarded as setting an example for the children nearby.
Let other children know that even if they are born in Shamao Lane, they can still go to college.
It was just an accident for Niu Ye. It had been several years since there were no children nearby who had skipped a grade. There were quite a few who were asked to repeat a grade by their teachers because of poor grades.
"Son, you did well in the exam. Our Niu family also has a college student. This is a scholar that our family has not had for eight generations. Tell me, if you want anything, Dad will satisfy you."
Niu Ye likes Dad Niu because of his rich and wealthy tone. Dad Niu quit his job as a sailor and started his own business for two years.
Because the family has a strong financial background, the funds are sufficient, and Dad Niu has been at sea for so many years, so he is well-informed.
There are many people who know each place, and those who buy and resell can make a lot of money.
"Dad, since you said that, I won't be polite to you anymore."
Niu's dad has been back for two years, and the father and son have become quite familiar with each other. Niu Ye no longer feels ashamed to ask Niu's dad for something.
"Why are you being polite to your dad? Your dad and I are doing business and making so much money just to spend it on you!"
"Dad, you are next to our school, buy me an apartment!"
"Buy, isn't it just a house? Dad can afford it. No, no, Niu Ye, your school is not far from our home, why do you want to buy a house?"
Although the houses in Shamao Lane are not good, the location is really good. It is not far from various universities in Nanjing. It is only a few kilometers to Nanjing Medical College and only ten or twenty minutes by bicycle.
"Dad, although the school is not far from our home, it is not close at all. I will study there for many years. First, I will study for five years as an undergraduate. I am also planning to study for graduate school, which will take at least another three years.
After that, I might study for a Ph.D., which is another three years. I can’t have lunch, so I’ll just go back home.”
Now that they are in college, Niu Ye does have some need for private space. The other thing is to persuade Niu Dad to drop out and make reasonable investments.
Nowadays, if you have tens of thousands of dollars, you are very impressive and you are a well-known rich person.
But when it comes to spending money, after Dad Niu bought the refrigerator, washing machine, and various electrical appliances at home, he didn't know how to spend it.
Although the house at home is well decorated, it is not big after all. Niu's father has never considered buying a house, so Niu Ye needs to supervise it.
"Buy, read, and study for as many years as you want, and your family will support you for as many years as you want."
"Dad, if you have nothing to do these days, let's go to the school to find a room."
"We can't do it in the next two days. We need to visit your grandparents' graves first and tell them the news about the scholar in the family. Then we also need to have a good dinner for you to enter your higher education, and tell our relatives and friends
, the neighbors are all invited to come over and have fun, I think the newly opened Jinling Hotel is good."
I don’t know why, but Dad Niu just does a little reselling business, and when he talks, he has the aura of a future coal boss.
"Dad, we can go to worship our ancestors. There is no need for us to go to the Jinling Hotel. We can just find an ordinary high-end hotel."
Although the Jinling Hotel has been open for a few months, it is still quite mysterious to Nanjing people.
It costs at least 90 US dollars to stay a night, and only foreign exchange coupons are accepted for consumption. It costs 3 yuan to take the elevator, visit the Revolving Palace, and go up to the "first" tallest building.
Go to the Jinling Hotel, treat some relatives, friends, and neighbors, and make at least a few hundred dollars for a meal.
For one meal, you need to eat an ordinary worker, and a few years' salary is really too exaggerated.
To get into college, you have to go to the Jinling Hotel, which makes Niu Ye wonder where to give a banquet when he gets married.
"Then let's make a reservation for the hotel. The quality must not be bad."
After Dad Niu was happy, he finally regained some of his sanity and stopped going to sea. The family may not be able to afford hundreds or even thousands of dollars to eat at the Jinling Hotel.
Being admitted to university is indeed a big deal. People like Qiao Zuwang cannot be indifferent to Qiao Yicheng's admission to university.
He doesn't go out, he stays at home and nearby, waiting for his neighbors to praise him for raising a good son.
When Qiao Yicheng was admitted to college, Qiao Zuwangtian shamelessly gave himself half of the credit.
Qiao Zuwang's actual contribution was to pay for Qiao Yicheng's high school tuition, and he would also dislike Qiao Yicheng from time to time because studying was a waste of electricity.
But Qiao Zuwang also did something. When he came back after hearing the news, he cooked the food himself and gave Qiao Yicheng a bowl of noodles and two poached eggs.
He spoke softly to Qiao Yicheng and chatted with Yan Yuse for a while, which almost made Qiao Yicheng think that Qiao Zuwang was a lunatic.
And finally, he also gave Qiao Yicheng a gift for entering college, a Zhongshan brand watch.
Even a locally produced watch was not a small expense for Qiao Zuwang, and it might have cost him all the money he had accumulated over the years.
