Classmate Little D and Grandpa He, one in the depths of He Tiantian’s consciousness and the other in her ear, shouted in unison.
Classmate Little D was really curious, "Tiantian, what can you do? It's hard to find a job these days!"
In the 1980s and 1990s, the iron rice bowl had not yet been broken.
Jobs basically rely on assignment or succession. The unit also recruits workers from the public, but they are very few, and basically all jobs are hired by default.
It is almost impossible to apply for a job based on one's personal ability, as was done in later generations.
He Tiantian graduated from high school and is considered academically qualified, but high school does not include distribution.
Her registered permanent residence is still a rural one. She wants to find a job in the city. Without the help of acquaintances, it is simply a dream.
Of course, Little D is not doubting He Tiantian's ability. He just feels that no matter how strong his personal ability is, he cannot defeat the entire social environment.
The objective conditions are here. If you want to break the situation, Xiao D thought hard, but there is really no good way.
Grandpa He was sarcastic and sarcastic, as if to say: What can you, a loser who is pampered by a shrew, do?
He Tiantian raised her eyebrows. Whether Little D's classmate was purely curious or Grandpa He was angry, she didn't care at all.
"If there is a way, there is a way."
He Tiantian replied very perfunctorily, then went to the roadside and politely asked passers-by where the nearest guesthouse was.
After asking for directions, He Tiantian took Grandpa He to the guest house first.
"What are you doing here? It's still early, let's take the afternoon long-distance bus back!"
Grandpa He was already very angry, but now he found He Tiantian very displeased.
Grandpa He felt that his grandson was too messy. If she hadn't made such a fuss at Yan's house, they could have stayed overnight at Yan's house even if they were not in a hurry to go home.
The Yan family is a two-story small foreign-style house. The upstairs and downstairs have electric lights and telephones, just like the wealthy families shown on TV.
The Yan family also has specialized nannies and orderlies, who provide food and drink for everyone.
And the most important point is that the Yan family has a lot of good wine and cigarettes. Grandpa He, the "benefactor", can enjoy it every time he comes to the Yan family.
When he thought of the exclusive tobacco and alcohol that even cadres in villages and towns could not enjoy, the greed in Grandpa He's stomach began to stir up trouble.
He complained more and more about his unlucky granddaughter: She is indeed a loser, she knows how to cause trouble for the family!
Grandpa He wished he could beat and scold He Tiantian, but he didn't dare.
Alas, there is no other way. Who made the family unfortunate enough to marry such an unvirtuous and unfilial shrew like Liu Xiuzhi as their daughter-in-law?
Grandpa He has never forgotten that when He Tiantian was born, he and his wife both despised him for being a little girl.
During the New Year, they gave some lucky money to their grandchildren. The old couple gave each of their two grandsons 10 cents and gave their granddaughter He Tiantian two cents.
The two cents were also given because Liu Xiuzhi was not easy to mess with. Otherwise, according to the temper of the old couple, they would not give him a cent.
Grandpa He and Grandma He thought they had taken a good look at He Tiantian, a loser, but Liu Xiuzhi still exploded.
He directly threw all the New Year's money received by the three children into the faces of the old couple, pointed at He Jianguo's nose, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and made a fuss.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it made the whole family restless and made everyone in the village laugh.
Grandpa He and his parents-in-law were so angry that they were trembling with anger at their shrewish daughter-in-law and coward son. They couldn't eat for several days.
The whole first month of the year was so miserable.
But Liu Xiuzhi refused to give up.
When He Jianguo brought his two grandchildren to visit the two elderly people, she turned a blind eye.
But after this quarrel, Liu Xiuzhi did not allow He Jianguo and his children to go to the old house on subsequent Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the old couple's birthdays.
Liu Xiuzhi made a show of severing ties with her parents-in-law. This kind of determination would frighten anyone who saw it.
The old couple only had a son, He Jianguo, and they couldn't bear to part with their grandchildren.
They completely understood what Liu Xiuzhi meant, and even if they didn't like losing money, they didn't dare to show it.
From then on, whenever money or things were given to the grandchildren, they would divide it into three parts, and all the grandchildren would have a share.
When they treated He Tiantian, they also valued him a little more, not because they were really curious, but because they were afraid.
More than ten years have passed, and this fear has already taken root in the hearts of the old couple.
Therefore, even if Grandpa He was angry again at this moment and wanted to deal with He Tiantian severely, he, he would not dare to do it easily.
Who knows what kind of trouble that shrew Liu Xiuzhi can cause?
Compared with more than ten years ago, Grandpa He and his wife are older.
Grandpa He is doing better and his body is still strong. Grandma He has been sick since last year.
In the past few months, the old couple has been thinking about how to find a way to "reconcile" with their daughter-in-law so that they can move back to their son's home.
In this way, even if they are really sick in bed, they will still have their children and grandchildren close by to take care of them.
Instead of like now, they and their son lived in the same village, but the two families were separated by two streets.
If something happens to the old couple and they die at home, no one will know.
It was precisely because of something he wanted in his heart that Grandpa He was so concerned about He Tiantian's marriage.
Although he is an old scoundrel, he doesn't care much about face.
But at least he is over 70 years old, and Grandpa He doesn't want to come to Yan's house and endure other people's looks and disgust.
"...Oh, you are a young girl, but you have big ideas!"
Thinking of this, Grandpa He was really angry and helpless. He put his hands behind his back, hunched his waist, drooped his head, and complained angrily: "What a wonderful marriage, I don't want it anymore!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to marry that guy from the Yan family. Why, what did you do to say so harshly?"
"How can our family have the honor to go to the Yan family again?"
Although both grandsons have jobs, they are still in town.
The two grandsons-in-law also still have rural registered residence.
Grandpa He once discussed with He Jianguo that if possible, they would try to find a way to bring the two brothers He Yongfu and He Yonggui to the city. It would be best if they could come to the provincial capital and settle the household registration of the two young couples.
However, Grandpa He also knew that with his little kindness to the Yan family, it was really hard to ask the Yan family for such help.
It happened that He Tiantian fell in love with Yan Xingzhou and wanted to marry into the Yan family and become a city citizen.
Grandpa He's thoughts were vivid again. His friendship with Grandpa Yan was basically caused by his cheating.
But if He Tiantian marries Yan Xingzhou and the He family and the Yan family become real in-laws, then it will be difficult for the Yan family to ignore the affairs of He Yongfu and He Yonggui.
Grandpa He will actively help finalize the marriage between He Tiantian and Yan Xingzhou, and he also has this consideration.
As a result, all his plans and calculations were easily destroyed by He Tiantian.
Grandpa He was getting more and more angry as he thought about it, but he couldn't let it happen. He felt so aggrieved inside.
"Then don't go to Yan's house first!"
He Tiantian said indifferently.
Grandpa He: ...You can't scold, let alone hit, there is a tigress behind this damn girl.
Hey, wait!
Liu Xiuzhi seemed to want to marry her daughter to the Yan family, if she knew that He Tiantian had ruined everything with her own hands.
Even if Liu Xiuzhi loves her daughter no matter how much she loves her, she will still get angry, right?
When Grandpa He thought of this possibility, his depressed mood seemed to be much better.
At least, he no longer complained that He Tiantian shouldn't mess around. When he came to the guest house and saw that He Tiantian paid for two rooms, he didn't feel too distressed.
After taking Grandpa He to the guest room, settling him down, and explaining to him how to eat at noon, He Tiantian left the guest house alone.
Grandpa He didn't ask, he didn't like this loser in the first place.
Today, He Tiantian caused such a big trouble again, and Grandpa He was even more disgusted.
Humph, who cares about her, she has the guts to fall out with the Yan family, and she seems to be a person with ideas.
Moreover, this was not He Tiantian's first visit to the provincial capital. In order to rely on Yan Xingzhou, He Tiantian had followed Liu Xiuzhi here several times.
Besides, He Tiantian is a high school student, literate and can speak Mandarin. Even if she gets lost, she will ask for directions.
Didn't you realize that she just found this guest house by asking for directions?
Grandpa He lay down directly on the bed without taking off his shoes, put his hands behind his head and dozed off.
He Tiantian left the guest house, inquired all the way, and transferred to two buses before arriving at her destination—the Provincial Sports School.
"Ah ah, no, Tiantian, you want to be an athlete?"
Seeing the plaque hanging at the entrance of the sports school, Little D, who was belatedly aware of it, finally came to his senses.
It suddenly remembered that He Tiantian had practiced martial arts, and asked curiously: "Tiantian, do you want to be a martial arts athlete?"
He Tiantian has been practicing boxing and internal skills for twenty years in the learning space. Her martial arts are no longer just for show, but very aggressive moves to defend against enemies.
Of course, it would also look great when used for performances.
After all, He Tiantian has a foundation in martial arts and has developed internal strength. She only needs to perform relevant martial arts moves in accordance with the requirements of the competition.
"Hey, don't mention it, being an athlete is also a way out!"
Little D didn't wait for He Tiantian to answer, but started talking to himself, "In this era, there are many rural children with good physical fitness who were selected to join the sports team and then they were able to leave the countryside."
"If I perform better and win an award, I can go to college or be assigned a job after retirement."
The more Little D thought about it, the more he realized that this path was feasible, and he was deeply proud of his partner for being so smart.
"Tiantian, as expected of you, you said you had a way to solve the work problem, and you actually thought of a way."
Little D’s classmate did not hesitate to praise him at all, "Haha, I knew Tiantian was the best in our family. Tsk tsk, being an athlete is much better than being a hotel waiter."
"According to your strength, you will definitely be able to win the national championship, and then you can go abroad to participate in competitions. Hey, wait a minute, in this era, martial arts seems to have not been listed as an Olympic sport!"
"...Oh, well, it doesn't matter anymore. Even if you can't participate in international competitions, you can still perform abroad. In this way, you can also fulfill the original owner's wish of flying abroad."
Little D was talking non-stop, but He Tiantian hadn't answered yet, so he helped to explain all the possibilities.
He Tiantian shook her head, "I didn't want to be a martial arts athlete."
Classmate Xiao D was stunned for a moment, "What? You don't want to be an athlete?" Then, what are you doing in the sports school?
Moreover, as Xiao D just analyzed, in the current social environment, with the original owner's background and ability, becoming an athlete seems to be a good way out.
After all, even if you go to college, you may not have the opportunity to go abroad.
The original owner was greedy for vanity and wanted to live a glorious life and make everyone envious and jealous.
"I didn't say I wasn't an athlete, I just said I didn't want to choose martial arts."
He Tiantian didn't want Little D to guess blindly, so she simply gave her answer, "You also said that martial arts is not an Olympic sport yet, and of course it can participate in the Asian Games. But, I want to stand on the biggest and most authoritative side.
In the international arena.”
Of course, the most important point is that He Tiantian has not forgotten that there is a designated task in the novel world this time - to increase the fun points of the script.
How can I feel better?
Of course, the weak will defeat the strong, and the weak will counterattack.
The martial arts event is originally a traditional competition in China.
It's right to win, but it's unbelievable to lose.
It's not that much fun to do something so natural.
He Tiantian has long thought about it. Since she wants to do something, she must do a meaningful and satisfying project.
for example--
"Archery! I want to be an archery athlete!"
He Tiantian told classmate Xiao D firmly.
"Archery?" Classmate Little D was stunned again, and then he suddenly thought: "Yes, yes, that martial arts master has a unique skill called 'Crossing a Poplar with a Hundred Steps'."
Although the ancient 100-step cross-population game is different from the modern archery competition.
However, if He Tiantian really masters this magical skill and becomes a perfect archer, there will be absolutely no problem in participating in archery competitions.
Bah bah, not only is there no problem, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Traditional bows and arrows do not have stabilizers, aiming and other auxiliary equipment.
Moreover, the ancient people had already reached the extreme in playing bows and arrows, and many of the archery patterns on the field are leftovers from the ancient people's playing.
He Tiantian walked around the sports school and finally found a store selling various sporting goods.
For thirty-six yuan, He Tiantian bought an ordinary traditional bow and a quiver.
He Tiantian took the bow and arrow and walked back to the gate of the sports school, found a tree on the roadside, walked hundreds of meters away, and then started to practice bowing.
In the previous world, He Tiantian learned some archery formulas and techniques while watching the martial arts master teach Brother Yuan.
But she has never practiced it.
Today was the first time she touched a real bow and arrow.
Whoosh!
According to the formula taught by the martial arts master, He Tiantian stood up, drew the bow and drew an arrow.
Not surprisingly, the first arrow flew away.
He Tiantian took out another arrow and continued practicing.
After shooting all the arrows in the quiver, He Tiantian finally felt a little better.
The arrow no longer "misses the target" and can hit the tree trunk.
But the position is very random. If it were a regular archery target, He Tiantian would just spin around on the edge.
He Tiantian held the bow and arrow in the same shooting position, but her soul was devoted to the learning space.
"Master, please teach me archery!"
He Tiantian respectfully saluted the martial arts master, and then the two began a boring and long journey of teaching and practicing...
