When school was about to end, Zhang Yu suddenly thought of something and stopped Wang Rui who was about to leave next to him: "By the way, that test site is quite remote. I heard that it takes more than an hour to take the bus from here. In that case,
We’d better find a guest house to stay for two days near the test center.”
Wang Rui nodded in agreement. His family did not lack the money to stay in a guest house. Rather than going back and forth, it would be better to stay for two days.
Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Yu continued: "Then let's go look for it in advance. We don't know how many candidates there are at that test center. We don't know if we arrive late and we won't have a room."
"OK."
Just as Zhang Yu expected, there was only one morning class the next day. In the afternoon, the teacher calmed down the students' mood and asked them not to be nervous. After issuing the admission tickets, the teacher declared a holiday.
Zhang Yu and the others took away all the books on the table, vacated the table, cleaned the classroom, put labels on them according to the teacher's instructions, and then left the school.
After coming out of school, Wang Rui wanted to leave his things at home before going, but Zhang Yu thought that later generations of college entrance examinations would need to book hotels long in advance. At that time, he had a classmate who was just one day later than others, and the hotels near the examination room were all full.
.
If they go home first to put away their things before going to the test center, they will be delayed for at least more than an hour. No one knows how many things can happen in this more than an hour.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu called to Wang Rui who was walking forward: "How about we go to the test center first, book a guest house and then go home."
"What should we do with these books?" Wang Rui pointed to a pack of books in his hand. He had no objection to it now, but he couldn't carry such a large pack of books back and forth!
"Come with me."
Zhang Yu took him forward for a short distance and finally stopped at the door of a car repair shop.
Zhang Yu leaned down slightly, looked inside, and his eyes fell on a busy figure in the room: "Brother Monkey."
Hearing the familiar voice, the monkey raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He wiped the oil on his hands on his clothes and strode out to greet him: "It's Brother Xiaoyu, why are you here today free?"
Zhang Yu pointed to Wang Rui next to him and introduced him: "Brother Monkey, this is my classmate Wang Rui."
He turned around and pointed at the monkey and introduced to Wang Rui: "This is my brother monkey. He is definitely a good repairman. If your bicycle has another problem in the future, he will definitely help."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Rui's eyes lit up instantly.
The bicycle he is riding now was replaced by an elder in the family. Although he usually rides it without problems, after using it for so many years, it is inevitable that problems will occur from time to time.
Looking at the slightly messy car repair shop, Zhang Yu asked with concern: "Brother Monkey, can you adapt to it?"
Knowing what Zhang Yu was asking, Monkey's face was full of smiles: "Adapt, why can't you adapt? Don't think this car repair shop is a bit small, but it is a serious job after all. You don't know, ever since you knew I had a job
After that, the way the neighbors look at me has changed, and not long ago there were people who even took the initiative to help me as a matchmaker."
Speaking of this, Monkey was filled with emotion. Before he got this job, he was a bastard in the eyes of his neighbors, a prodigal son in the eyes of his brothers and sisters, and a freeloader. He wished he could stay away from him, for fear of being stuck with him.
But after he got this job, the way those people looked at him changed. It's ridiculous to say that he has now become the representative of the prodigal son who can never change his fortune. When those people praised him, they didn't remember how they eliminated him in the first place.
.
Having been in the black market for a long time, I have seen all kinds of ways to make money quickly. Monkey was really not used to living in this small car repair shop at first, and he couldn't bear to work like this for a month. He was dirty every day for only twenty years.
The salary is only RMB 1,000, but I still feel that the boss is just messing around.
But slowly, he adapted to this job and discovered the benefits of this job.
It can be said that this job has allowed him to straighten his back in front of others. He is still helping in the black market, but he is not as lavish as before, spending as much as he can and living today without thinking about tomorrow.
Although he earns less now than before, he can actually save money.
In the past, when he saw his peers around him getting married and having children, he pretended to be disdainful on the surface, thinking that those women looked down on him because they had no vision, but in fact, how could he not be envious in his heart?
He knew he would be in trouble one day, and getting married would only bring trouble to other girls, so as time went by, he no longer had that hope.
But his current life has rekindled his hope.
He could see that the boss seemed to be playing a big game. Except for the younger brothers who had just joined the team, the other brothers were gradually assigned to serious jobs by the boss for various reasons.
Boss, it seems he wants to stop!
Thinking of this possibility, Monkey's mind was shaken, and he suddenly had a delusion.
The industry they work in has always been easy to get in and difficult to get out of. If you want to wash your hands in a golden basin, it is impossible to quit if you want to quit. As long as you show the slightest hint of retreat, there will be countless hands thinking about it.
Pull you down.
It’s not that I don’t want to retreat, it’s that I can’t retreat.
But the monkey now sees hope. According to the boss's arrangements, can he slowly retreat?
Regarding this point, Zhang Yu has a strong say.
Because the reason why Brother Zheng came up with this idea was that he was there to play the drum. Although he did not reveal the future to him, he persuaded him to leave a way out for himself and his brothers.
When talking about the future, Zhang Yu also mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that the current jobs are all a mess, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find. I am afraid that after a few years, even if you try to find one, you won't be able to find one.
Thinking of Monkey's current job, Zhang Yu had a lot of thoughts.
Now it seems that Brother Zheng takes his mention to heart.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhang Yu revealed the purpose of his visit: "Brother Monkey, I am in a hurry to go to the examination room. Can I leave this book with you first?"
"What's wrong with that? I'll put it inside for you. It won't be good if someone takes it away." The monkey took the bundle from the hands of the two and prepared to put it inside.
"Then it's troublesome, Brother Monkey."
The monkey waved his hand: "No need to worry about it, we are brothers. If you want to talk about this again, just be polite."
"Then Brother Monkey, I'll come back later."
"Okay, just go slower on the road and I won't send you off."
When he was about to walk out of the street, Zhang Yu looked back and could vaguely see the monkey standing at the door watching them leave.
They were lucky this time. Within a minute of arriving, the bus they wanted to take arrived.
There were not many people on the bus at this time. When Zhang Yu and the others got on, more than half of the seats were still empty. The two of them randomly found adjacent seats and sat down.
