Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man

Yu Xia finally accepted the ticket handed over by Aunt Wang, thanked him again and again, and went upstairs. The other three in the dormitory were in class at this point. Yu Xia took the key to unlock the door, and did not forget to bring the latch after entering the door.

She sat down on the edge of her bed, put the book next to the pillow, followed by taking the little key to open the cabinet door, took out a notebook from the innermost part of the cabinet, opened the back cover, and found a kraft paper envelope in it.

The envelope contained 320 yuan, of which 250 was a bonus from the leader above, and 50 was a reward from her uncle for her admission to the university. These two sums were sewn into the clothes and brought to Beijing. In addition, there are twenty yuan, which is the saved hardship subsidy.

Beijing Medical University has allocated three levels of subsidies to students with financial difficulties, namely 18, 13 and 8 yuan. What Yu Xia received was the second level of ordinary poverty subsidy, which anyone from the countryside could apply for. She came to report at the end of August, and then wrote the application. She received the first one in early September, and another in early October, with a total of twenty-six. Yu Xia put the whole ten yuan in an envelope and put it in the innermost part of the cabinet. She had never touched this money in front of her roommate, and the remaining one or two yuan bills, corner bills, including split bills, were placed on the side of the cabinet door for easy access. The place.

Before leaving home, Yu's mother also prepared change for her to spend on the road. It didn't cost her much. After arriving at school, she took the bus a few times, and she received a ticket from someone else and spent six yuan to buy a ticket. Change of jeans. The last time I went to the Xinhua Bookstore, I spent two yuan and four cents, and there was nothing else.

Yu Xia thought for a while, the girls in later generations could also wear silk stockings for the pursuit of beauty. She had two pairs of jeans, the fabric was quite thick, and the down jacket was enough to keep warm.

Auntie Wang was right, she had to buy a down jacket, and in addition to that, she had to add a pair of rubber shoes. This side of Beijing loves to snow in winter, and cloth shoes are easy to slip, not to mention, when the shoes are probably not dry. Apart from these two things, she had better buy another water bottle. She has to add hot water to wash her face and soak her feet in the cold winter. The water is not always available. It is open at that time every day. It is drinking and it is unbearable with iron. When it comes time to use it and find that it is not enough, it is unreliable to ask people to borrow it. You are short of it, others are short of it, and no one has much.

She made a simple list, and then she estimated the price. Down jackets cost 60 to 70 yuan, shoes and water bottles were cheaper, and the three items together cost about 80 yuan. Considering that this is in the capital of the motherland, the price of It may be slightly higher than the south side. She took out a hundred yuan directly from the envelope, put the money and the ticket in the book, and put the rest back in the same place.

After thinking about it for a while, she took out the blanket and put it on the bed. It was sunny in early October, and she slept with the towel on top of it. There is a trend of getting colder these days, and the blanket will come in handy.

After taking out the blanket, there was an empty space in the cupboard. She folded the two clothes in the summer and put them in, and then put the lock on the lock. As for the book with the one-hundred-yuan bill, she locked it in the drawer. , there are more classes in the first two days, so I should wait until the weekend to go to the department store.

This was the second time Yu Xia went back to the department store. Seeing that she was dressed quite plainly, the salesperson was not very enthusiastic until she heard the word "down jacket" from her mouth.

Down jackets are the best winter equipment to keep out the cold. They have only been put into containers in the past two years, and I have rarely heard of them before. As a salesperson, they try it on in private, it's really warm, and you don't want to take it off when you put it on... However, it's expensive in direct proportion to comfort. Sixty to seventy pieces, one piece of clothing can be worth one or two of the whole family. monthly expenses.

Hearing that this plainly dressed young girl was going to buy a down jacket, the salesman who was sluggishly squatting on the seeds suddenly came to his senses. She looked up and down at Yu Xia: "I'm sorry I didn't hear clearly, what are you buying this comrade?"

"I want a down jacket and a pair of rubber shoes."

"The cheapest down jacket is sixty-five, do you really want to buy it?"

Seeing Yu Xia nod, she just took two pieces from the shelf: "The clothes can be seen, but you are not allowed to try them on. The red ones are sixty-five, and the green ones are seventy-five." Afraid that Yu Xia didn't understand where the difference was, she He also added two words, "Don't look at this one being ten dollars more expensive, it's a two-piece suit, it can be easily disassembled and washed when worn, and the sixty-five piece is less of a suit."

"Are there any other colors?"

The salesperson said no, Yu Xia saw that the peacock green was a bit more eye-catching, and the color was still classic and attractive. She thought that her fair skin could stand up to it, so she nodded and asked the salesperson to wrap it up.

"Comrade, do you want a pair of rubber shoes? Short neck or high waist?"

He said verbally how could he know what the shoes looked like, Yu Xia asked her to show her, because she had just made a big deal and the salesperson was very patient with her, she pointed at the bottom of the glass counter: "Just those two The soles and uppers are similar, one has a long neck and the other is short. There are three colors, khaki, army green and camouflage, you can take a look and I will take it for you.”

Yu Xia squatted down and took a closer look. The short one was really short. Without socks, the entire ankle would be exposed. The other pair was about the length of short boots. Dirty camouflage.

This pair of shoes is fifteen and the down jacket is seventy-five. The two together add up to one hundred and ninety. She had previously thought about saving more money and fighting for a scholarship, so that she could afford to buy a ticket to go back every year.

After a visit to a department store, she found out that money was really not banned. Yu Xia had to tell herself in her heart that she had to study harder when she went back. She had to live up to the ardent hopes of her family, the expectations of the school, and the care of her auntie. Money cannot be wasted.

She was still pondering on the way back, because she borrowed a professional dictionary from Professor Qi. She can translate several documents every day, so she wanted to ask the professor if there is any channel to sell these translations, so that she can Earning hard money can also allow domestic medical workers and medical students to see these amazing materials that have been brought back with great difficulty.

Yu Xia hadn't been so urgent before, and it was also caused by the down jacket and rubber shoes. She couldn't wait to fly back to school, and went back and asked Professor Qi to see if it would be possible.

If you remember correctly, there has been a shortage of translators in the country in recent years. Even though major colleges and universities are stepping up the training of English professionals, the training of talents always takes time.

Besides, there is also a gap between daily English and medical professional English. Yu Xia can nibble down so quickly thanks to her background. Her English is not in the commune high school at all. of the kind.

After a thousand years, there have been changes in terms of phrase structure, grammar, etc., but she didn't come here only today. After such a long time, she was basically used to it.

Yu Xia thought about it all the way, and when she passed the free market two intersections from the school, she remembered that she could buy a down jacket thanks to Aunt Wang. Thinking about it, she turned a corner and entered the market to weigh it. Green dates.

The jujube was picked by local farmers into the city to sell. It is not big, tastes sweet, and the price is not expensive. Yu Xia weighed two pounds, thinking about giving half of it to Aunt Wang when he passed the downstairs of the dormitory.

As a result, she stepped into the dormitory building, and before she had time to say hello, she was stopped first. Aunt Wang sat in the administrator's office and waved to her: "Daughter, come here, here is a letter from your hometown. The letter, it hasn't been long since it was delivered."

Yu Xia rushed over two steps. She put her clothes aside and took a look at the envelope. It said that it was sent by Yu Xuenong of the Red Star Brigade of Yongan Commune.

"It was sent by my dad." She put away the letter with a smile, ready to go back to the dormitory to take a look, and then put the pocket of green dates on the windowsill, "I went to the department store just now, and I weighed some dates when I came back. , it's alright to eat, auntie, you can mix it up."

To be able to work as a logistics staff in Beijing Medical University, the family conditions will not be bad. Generally, you need to have some connections. Aunt Wang is not short of this, but it is Yu Xia. It is rare to weigh some fruits and think of her. She is a good girl.

She thought so, so she took three or five along the way, and Yu Xia was not satisfied with her actions, so she grabbed a few big handfuls on the table with the bag in one hand and the other hand, and then did not give Auntie Wang a chance to return it. Get ready to go upstairs. After taking a step out, I remembered it again, and said with a smile, "I'll show you these clothes when the temperature cools down. When I buy them, they only ask for the size, not to try them on, and I don't know if they look good or not."

Speaking of this Auntie Wang, she forgot the handful of green dates. She looked up and down Yu Xia several times, and said with praise: "Girls are handsome and look good in anything, so you don't need to try!"

Yu Xia heard the smile even more sincere: "Then you're busy, I'll see what my dad wrote in the letter, and I'll come down and talk to you later."

What's in the letter? Isn't that what they are.

She opened the envelope and saw that there were three pages of paper in it. Seeing that the handwriting was thick, he wrote the first sentence at the beginning: "Sister, I am your younger brother. The letter you sent home has been received, and the eldest sister will read it. Three times, after listening to it, I put the letter away, put the commemorative stamp of the chairman of the committee in it, and locked it in the cabinet of her room..."

This made Yu Xia amused at the beginning. After she came to Beijing, she was busy studying, and only thought of home before going to bed every night. At this moment, I remembered the situation of preparing for the college entrance examination. Compared with the capital of the motherland, which ushered in the new era with great strides, the backward southern countryside also has its beauty. It's been more than two months since I left home, and I still feel very sad to think about it.

Yu Xia continued to read, and Yu Momao said in the letter that the whole family is fine anyway, even if the eldest sister hasn't found a job yet, she is not in a hurry to see her.

"The laying hens at home were a bit abnormal some time ago. They didn't like to eat anything, and they didn't like to lay eggs as often as before. The elder sister said that they were just killing them to eat meat, so I went back and raised a few more. Mom was reluctant to say that it was you who took care of them. Yes, it is said that the hen is reluctant to bear you. Sister, don't worry too much, the chicken has been abnormal for a few days, but now it is normal again, and it still lays eggs as before."

"By the way, Nian asked me to tell you that the four pigs she raised are doing very well, and they will be able to sell for a good price in the new year! Nian said, buy what you need, don't feel wronged when you study abroad, if you don't have enough money Just write a letter, and we'll send it over immediately."

"Sister, the review materials you handed over to the captain are crazy in this piece. Many people who are preparing to take part in the next college entrance examination are queuing up to copy it. The captain has had a headache since the end of August and is now mediating every three weeks, for fear that the members will break through. The head hit. The principal of the Information Commune High School read it and said it was very good. He also said that he would review it according to this. As long as he can understand it thoroughly, he is guaranteed to pass the test.

"…"

Yu Momao wrote a lot of things one after another, all of which were quite trivial. Yu Xia looked down a little bit, but the smile on her face never disappeared.

She was looking at it, the dormitory door was pushed open, and two nursing students came in. Seeing that Yu Xia was feeling strange in the dormitory, she noticed the peacock green down jacket on the bed.

"New? Did you go shopping for clothes?"

Yu Xia temporarily put down the family letter in his hand and looked back at them: "Isn't this about to cool down? I heard that the winter in Beijing is very cold, and it is difficult to survive the winter without thick clothes."

"You came to report without a padded jacket? How expensive is a down jacket?" Li Wenjuan sat down with her back, she didn't say anything, the other one walked over to Yu Xia and reached out to touch the fabric of the clothes. Envy, "This dress is so good, eh, by the way, you don't get a monthly allowance for hardship, how do you have the money to buy this?"

"After the results of the college entrance examination came out, the commune and the brigade all gave out rewards. My mother thought of leaving her hometown and she didn't save a single point. It took me all the money to buy these two today."

Hearing that it was two different things, the other party was stunned for a while, but she looked again and saw a pair of brand new high-waisted rubber shoes under the bed.

"Aren't these shoes cheap?"

Yu Xia spread out his hands: "It's not expensive, you have to buy it. How can you wear cloth shoes on a snowy day?"

"You're throwing all the money on this? I heard that other people are thinking of saving some money and sending them home after receiving the subsidy."

Yu Xia was too lazy to figure out what she meant by this, and after thinking about it, she flattened the down jacket, put it in the closet and locked it. After locking it, she replied, "I'm going to inquire with the professor to see if I can find a job. , I have to buy a lot of necessities for studying abroad. My home is in the south, separated by thousands of miles, so it’s not like you are close enough to go back and get everything.”

She said that she had read the last two paragraphs of the letter, and seeing that both her mother and her mother asked Yu Moma to ask her what kind of down jacket she had bought, Yu Xia was going to write back while it was still hot, telling them that they had already bought the down jacket and also bought a pair of them. The rubber shoes have added a water bottle, and they are ready for winter. Please rest assured at home.

After the second letter was sent out, Yu Xia remembered to go to Professor Qi's office and ask her to help with the details, to see if the foreign documents he had translated would work, and whether he could earn some income from this.

Others may not know, but the professor of Beijing Medical University probably knows the amount of bonuses given to the champion by each province. She originally thought that Yu Xia should not be short of money, but she didn't expect the other party to think about it: "You are very professional in translating this, so it must be someone who wants it. Yes, it is estimated that a good price can still be offered... The teacher still wants to ask if you have difficulties in life, you can talk about it, the school will not sit idly by, and the teachers will help you solve it. "

Yu Xia shook his head: "You also know that my family is from the countryside, and I have brothers at home. I think I still have some spare energy, so I want to earn some money and send it back to subsidize them."

Seeing that Professor Qi was still hesitating, Yu Xia softened his voice and said, "I usually read these books, not just to make money. You can also rest assured that you won't fall behind in your studies."

She said so, and Professor Qi was relieved: "Well, you can put these translated manuscripts here, and I will ask you. Yu Xia, you are right to subsidize your family, don't force yourself too much. , learning not to fall behind is one aspect, but also pay attention to the body.”
