In Yang Kai's view, Gao Fan was a student from a less developed county in a less developed province. Even if his family favored him and provided him with a slightly higher living allowance, he would still not be able to afford good food on weekdays.
As his senior brother, he has already stayed in school to receive his salary. Naturally, he can take his junior brother to the dental festival and get closer to him. Maybe this junior brother can become his right-hand man in the future.
With such a mentality, Yang Kai took Gao Fan to the internship restaurant and ordered two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a bottle of beer, which really cost him several dollars.
It's a pity that Gao Fan is not Wu Zixian. He doesn't owe himself anything for his usual meals. The dishes Yang Kai ordered are just "okay" to him, not to the extent that he needs to shed tears of gratitude.
When Gao Fan came out of home, Ran Yuying gave him the 800 yuan he brought back from Renqiao. He thought that he would still be able to get dividends calculated in units of 10,000 yuan from Chen Xingquan's paint factory in the future, so he paid 10,000 yuan in dividends at school.
He would not deliberately be frugal in life. He was also a frequent visitor to the internship restaurant.
Of course, he doesn't order food when he goes to the internship restaurant. He just goes to the stir-fry window to buy a stir-fry. The stir-fry in the internship restaurant is very affordable. A portion of braised chicken nuggets costs 80 cents, and the portion weighs almost half a catty.
, enough to satisfy your craving.
"Gao Fan, come on, come on, eat more meat. You usually eat in the cafeteria, don't you have much meat to eat?"
Yang Kai put the meat into Gao Fan's bowl and asked in a loving tone like a senior senior brother.
"Thank you, senior brother. In fact, my usual food is not bad. My parents both work, and my sister graduated from a technical secondary school this year and can earn a salary. I am the only freeloader in the whole family, so it is not very difficult," Gao Fan said.
"Oh, that's not bad." Yang Kai nodded, then poured Gao Fan beer, and asked at the same time: "Have you ever drank beer? The alcohol content is not high, you can drink some occasionally."
"Well, I drank it twice, so it's not bad." Gao Fan replied calmly.
In this era, beer is still a relatively unfamiliar drink for many freshmen in college. People in small counties are generally accustomed to drinking hard liquor, and the market for beer is not large, so many freshmen even go to college.
Only then did I know there was such a thing as beer.
However, when the freshmen become old students, they will become more familiar with beer. The university is a polite place. If everyone gets together to party, it is always unsightly if they get drunk. Drinking some beer can not only make you happy, but also not good.
Gaffes are relatively easier to be accepted by students.
Another point is that universities have more exchanges with foreign countries, and the foreign custom of drinking beer is more likely to be spread in universities.
Of course, the way of drinking with one person stepping on a box of big green sticks like the later generations is not seen in this era. At the end of 1981, the price of beer increased across the board, and a bottle of beer sold for 0.49 yuan after deducting the refund fee.
.A college student’s monthly living expenses are enough to buy a box of beer. Who dares to drink freely?
When Yang Kai thought about it, Gao Fan might have never drank beer at all, so he asked that question. Unexpectedly, Gao Fan said that he had drank beer twice, which immediately made Yang Kai lose his sense of accomplishment.
"You still have to learn how to smoke and drink when you go to college." Yang Kai said old-fashionedly, "If you don't know these things, you will suffer a loss when you work in the future."
"If you stay in school, it's okay if you don't know how to smoke or drink, right?" Gao Fan said.
Yang Kai shook his head: "You have to know how to do it in school. Can you stop smoking when the old gentlemen pass you a cigarette? When we go out for a meeting, several teachers from the school sit together and everyone drinks. You don't know how to drink.
What will he think of you?"
"That's true." Gao Fan was happy.
In later generations, the trend of smoking and drinking in academic circles has been relatively weak. However, it is difficult to change the habits developed by some old gentlemen when they were young. When academic conferences are held, it is often these old gentlemen who clamor for drinks. Young people
If a scholar doesn't know how to drink, he will be despised by the old gentlemen.
"I'm okay with drinking, but forget about smoking." Gao Fan said.
Yang Kai said: "I'm not very good at smoking, but when someone offers cigarettes, I can smoke one or two. You are still an undergraduate now, so you don't have to learn to smoke. Smoking is too expensive. I know some people
Because students are addicted to smoking, they have to save their meal tickets to buy cigarettes, which is very harmful to their health."
"That's not true. How can you be so addicted?" Gao Fan was stunned.
Yang Kai sneered and said: "What's weird about this? There are many people who think that they are young and can be hungry. There were girls in other schools who only ate one meal a day in order to save money to buy nice clothes, even the vegetables.
I couldn't bear to eat. As a result, I became sick from hunger and had to drop out of school halfway through the book."
"After all, I'm still poor." Gao Fan sighed.
He thought of the legend about the "kidney machine" that was circulated in later generations. Although he couldn't be sure if it was a marketing copy issued by a fruit machine, it was not uncommon for some people to abuse themselves just to show off.
"Isn't it?" Yang Kai said, "So now the best place for graduates is to go to an institution with good welfare, such as finance, bank, post and telecommunications, etc. The worst is to join a big company. After graduation like me
Anyone who wants to stay in school is a fool."
"So, senior brother, are you a fool?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.
Yang Kai said: "I can't explain clearly. To be honest, I am jealous when I see other students who go to work and receive benefits every three days and various allowances.
"In our school, it is really called Qingshui Yamen. No, we are not even a Yamen. Firstly, we have no money, and secondly, we have no power. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to find a partner."
Gao Fan nodded and said: "Yes, in this case, those who are willing to stay in school are either really incompetent and can't find a better unit, or they have a true love for scientific research."
"So, after you graduate, will you consider staying in school?" Yang Kai looked at Gao Fan and asked.
Gao Fan shook his head: "I told you, this question is out of scope. I'm still a freshman, and it's too early to think about graduation."
Yang Kai said: "Actually, it's not too early. If you want to find a good employer after graduation, you might as well participate in more school activities now and show your face in front of the leaders. This will be helpful for your future assignments. On the contrary,
, if you are considering staying in school to do scientific research, you can start to determine a direction now and do it in a down-to-earth manner for a few years.
"You don't need to take undergraduate courses, which is equivalent to entering scientific research four years earlier than others. From now on, every step will be faster than others. This advantage is huge.
"Gao Fan, I can see that you are a person with ideas, so you should make up your mind as soon as possible and don't delay yourself."
"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice. Come on, I'll give you a toast."
Gao Fan picked up the beer glass and gestured to Yang Kai.
