At the end of June 1981, when men's clothing in red shirts and white pants suddenly became fashionable on the streets of Beijing, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing.
This meeting not only completely negated the "movement" for ten years, but also summarized and evaluated the merits and demerits of the main responsible persons. The educated youth movement that set off a climax during the "movement" also ended with the return of the vast majority of educated youth to the city.
But because of this, the employment pressure this year is still not small.
To this end, on July 7, the upper levels of the country specially issued "Several Policy Provisions on Non-Agricultural Individual Economy in Urban Areas". In the "Regulations", it was emphasized that "citizens engaged in self-employment are independent workers who support themselves. For individuals,
Any economic discrimination, indiscriminate interference or negative attitude are not conducive to the development of socialist economy and are all wrong."
It is hoped that this will encourage unemployed young people to find their own way out and relieve some of the need for resettlement work.
Of course, under such a severe employment situation, the placement situation for fresh graduates is not very optimistic. There are almost no good jobs, either under the management of service bureaus or in small collective factories.
So Su Xiu, who graduated from high school, was miserable. She failed the college entrance examination and had no confidence to take the exam again. She was directly transferred by the school to sell vegetables in a non-staple food store in "Niujie".
Fortunately, Hong Yanru lived up to her family's expectations. She was admitted to the "Jingcheng Textile Engineering College", the predecessor of the "Jingcheng Fashion College", with second place and excellent results, and became the first undergraduate student in the Hong family.
The dream that Hong Yanwu designed for her of "clouds resemble clothes and flowers resemble faces" is obviously about to come true.
So, on the day when they received the admission notice, the Hong family not only set off 10,000 firecrackers, but also received congratulations from the neighbors. In order to thank Kuang Meiyun for tutoring, Hong Lucheng and his wife personally took their daughter to the ceremony.
I went to the Chang family’s door to announce the good news.
In addition to bringing a lot of gifts during this trip, they also had to hold a teacher-appreciation banquet at "Fengze Garden". In the words of the Hong family, the three teachers from the Chang family taught the three children of the Hong family. This kindness was great.
, it’s impossible not to go.
As a result, the Chang family could not refuse, and they were happy for Hong Yanru, so the two families had a happy time together.
But having said that, Su Xiu and Hong Yanru, a pair of good friends, good classmates, good neighbors, and good sisters who were always in sync with each other, had reached this age, and their life circumstances had suddenly changed so much. It was a bit unprepared for everyone.
No matter how heartless Su Xiu is, she wears a blue coat every day to prepare piles of vegetables and ventilate customers. She smells the smell of rotten vegetables and shouts until her voice is hoarse, but she may not be able to complete the task. If she can't sell, she still has to pay.
It’s strange that I don’t feel lonely when I get a bonus and receive criticism from my boss.
In turn, she looked at Hong Yanru, who was wearing beautiful clothes and a shiny school badge. She came in and out of the house in a decent manner every day. The neighbors were all welcoming her with warm smiles, which made it even more obvious that she was a treasure and she was like a piece of grass.
.
It's okay to say that these two days are fine. If she compares like this every day, if she is not anxious or sad, not jealous or sour, she will really become a fairy.
So because of this, Empress Su Xiu cried a lot.
Although I have been trying to convince myself, "It is natural for Xiaoru to go to college. This is called reaping melons and reaping beans if you sow beans. I just like to play around in a muddle-headed way, and I am not the material for studying at all."
"
But the huge gap in reality is really not an understatement, "We are still good friends, we will always be good sisters", or "She is not the same as me in passing the exam, I should be happy for her."
, it can be healed.
In this case, as negative emotions accumulate day after day, the probability of emotional divergence between the two people becomes higher and higher.
Even the conflict broke out suddenly.
Just this month, on the day when the movie "Middle Age" starring Pan Hong was released, Hong Yanru took two movie tickets and went to Niujie Food Store to find Su Xiu, hoping to go to the movie with her after get off work.
Unexpectedly, he caught up with Su Xiuzhan and other scholars, arguing with several customers alone.
Because Hong Yanru felt it didn't look good and was afraid that Su Xiu would suffer a loss, she quickly stepped forward to persuade her.
Unexpectedly, after she finally managed to persuade those customers to leave, Su Xiu turned around and turned around to express the resentment she had accumulated in her heart.
"Okay, are you done watching the excitement? You should leave quickly."
Su Xiu's seemingly unreasonable coldness caught Hong Yanru completely by surprise.
"Xiu'er, I'm here to watch a movie with you. Look, "Middle Age". I heard it reflects the beliefs and pursuits of intellectuals. Don't you like Pan Hong..."
But this patient explanation was completely useless, Su Xiu still didn't understand the good people's heart.
"Come on, don't tell me, I'm a vegetable seller and I don't understand. I'm also telling you, don't think that you will be fine if you go to college. What about fashion design? Isn't it just a tailor? We are
As for the two of you, what are you so proud of? It’s ridiculous..."
Hong Yanru was completely stunned. She couldn't believe these words were spoken by her best friend.
"Xiu'er, you...what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Hong Yanru's devastated look, Su Xiu's eyes couldn't help but turn red. She couldn't help but feel that what she just said was too much, but she had nowhere to vent her frustration. She gritted her teeth and spoke clearly.
.
"Xiao Ru. I know it's very boring for me to think like this, but every day I see you living a carefree life like the proud son of heaven, while I wear a dirty coat and quarrel with people on the street like an old lady.
.I want to say that I feel very happy and happy for you, do you believe it? I really don’t want to see you pretending to smile every day anymore..."
Only then did Hong Yanru realize what the problem was.
"I...I never thought..."
"Then think about it carefully. How would you feel if you were in my position? From now on... from now on, don't come here to see me again. Anyway, you will start school in a few days..."
After this incident happened, the two girls didn't speak to each other for two or three days. Their faces burned badly when they met, and they both avoided each other. But their feelings were so strong that they really didn't do anything for each other.
Hong Yanru went to beg Hong Yanwu that night and asked him if he could find a way for Su Xiu to find a better job.
As for Su Xiu, the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, but she wanted to apologize but couldn't. In the end, she was so noisy that she couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, she got an idea and got up and wrote a self-examination letter of apology. She stuffed it in the mailbox the next day.
.
So it took three days until Hong Yanru received the letter to truly understand Su Xiu's thoughts. As soon as she read the letter, Hong Yanru went to Su Xiu with peace of mind. The two girls then broke down and laughed and reconciled.
And it's a coincidence. In the past few days, Hong Yanwu has just been busy with Su Embroidery.
When he came back that night, he was happy when he saw the two girls were reconciled as before, hanging out together and whispering at home.
He quickly called the two people over and told them the good news. He said that as long as Su Xiu persisted for three more days, she would no longer have to sell vegetables. He had contacted her about a new job.
Seeing that Hong Yanru was happier than herself, Su Xiu felt even more embarrassed.
I couldn't say a word "thank you", so I hugged Hong Yanru and cried again. It wasn't until I finished crying that I remembered what job I hadn't asked about yet. I shed tears, changed my smile, and asked Hong Yanwu eagerly.
Hong Yanwu saw her changing faces like a cat and a dog, so he still didn't make fun of her.
"I know what you want. You don't have to work hard, you make a lot of money, you have a decent job, you get good benefits, and the most important thing is you have a future, right?"
Su Xiuteng blushed. Just when she was so embarrassed that she wanted to bite someone, Hong Yanwu's answer made her lose all her anger.
Daqing Hong Yanwu found her a place at the Municipal Tourism Bureau, which not only met the conditions just mentioned, but was also located in an office. This gave her a big surprise.
But before she could be so beautiful, Hong Yanwu's words of scolding came out of her mouth.
"You said you girl, you are not satisfied with your work, why don't you come to me directly? You are just sitting there and suffering for several days in vain? Let me tell you, I am busy with other things these days. If it weren't for Xiao
Ru told me, just go ahead and endure it."
"I...I...Brother Xiao Wu, am I afraid of causing trouble to you?"
"Humph, that's nice to say. Are you afraid of troublesome me? You're shy and don't want to trouble your own boss. Do you know now where you went wrong?"
"I...I'm too narrow-minded and shouldn't throw heat on Xiaoru..."
"Yes, it seems that you are still a confused person. In fact, I can understand you. When people are mentally unbalanced, it is inevitable to have some emotions, and Xiaoru will not care about it. This is not what I am talking about, but the matter of you asking for help.
.There is nothing embarrassing about this, no one can live on his own. But on the other hand, if you can’t open up about our relationship, what will you do in the future?”
Hong Yanwu continued to talk earnestly.
"Xiu'er, you are an adult when you go to work. No one treats you as a child anymore. There is no warmth from relatives in the workplace, and no one thinks about you for no reason. On the contrary, it is unfair. A few people are proud of it, and the majority
People are disappointed. So you should stop treating yourself like a child, and at least learn to fight for your own affairs by yourself. As long as your reasons are reasonable, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Think about it. If it concerns your personal interests and you don't speak up yourself, who can take the initiative to speak for you? You won't be able to wait for others to show kindness by just waiting. Only if you speak up first, can others speak up.
We will consider your needs. The difference is that if you ask, you may be able to succeed, but if you don’t ask, you will definitely not succeed.”
"Don't even think that someone can get what they want without opening their mouths. That's where their strength lies. They can hold others in critical places. If they don't open their mouths, they will naturally have people to help them, and they can also get a good reputation. But you want
If you fail to meet this requirement and believe that true love exists everywhere in the world and that gold shines everywhere, then you are a fool. Our country lacks everything, but it does not lack people. Do you understand?"
These words touched Su Xiu very much. She was truly moved and nodded quickly.
"Brother Xiao Wu, I understand. I understand everything when you say this. It's because I didn't dare to raise my opinion once, so the grocery store gave me the hard work that was originally rotated for a long time. In the end, it became a matter of course.
Yes, I also have my own responsibility for this. Don’t worry, I will learn from it and I will never do it again in the future..."
And just when Hong Yanru seemed to have some realization, Hong Yanwu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but asked again out of curiosity.
"Hey, Xiu'er, I'm surprised. You're embarrassed to talk about you, but what about your dad and your brother? They didn't help you either. And now that I think about it, I haven't seen you for several days.
