Chapter 044
During the National Day holidays in previous years, Lu Yuan had his own place to play, and Lu Qingshan and his wife would take advantage of the holidays to go to the countryside to visit relatives, but this year is not possible. Since Wu Xiuqin opened this Happy Breakfast Shop, there are still long and short holidays. No matter whether it is windy, rainy or hail, this stall has to be supported, otherwise the old customers will be lost. If they really don’t open for a week, and they will come back, they will probably all the old customers and customers will run away.
Lu Qingshan complained a lot about this. Because he had planned it at the beginning of the year, he planned to take his wife to the countryside during the National Day this year and take a walk to Putuo, Zhoushan. He didn't know that the plan could not keep up with the change. His wife was laid off and started a business and opened a breakfast shop. He made it more busy in a day than the manager of San Cotton Factory.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, Lu Qingshan is destined to be unable to rest. The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to go to the breakfast stall and wash and clean Wu Xiuqin’s bowls.
Lu Yuan is much happier than his father.
Wu Xiuqin said that young people should look like young people. Which young people stay at home during the National Day holiday?
So on the first day of National Day, Lu Yuan made an appointment with Ma Zhuzhi, Shao Gang, and several classmates who graduated and stayed to work in Hangzhou to play wild balls together, and then had a dinner with hot pot toast in the evening.
After graduation, except for Shao Gang and Ma Zhuzhi, several other classmates Lu Yuan had their first party, so this wild ball was played happily and the hot pot at night was also extremely happy.
When we were shabu-shabu, everyone also talked about some of the situations after graduation. In fact, everyone was about the same, they were all working hard for the monthly rent and three meals a day. Lu Yuan was among them, and they were in a better condition. After all, they entered a state-owned factory as soon as they graduated, and they had stable wages. Moreover, their family was local, and their parents were both employees. Whether it was the starting point of work or the cost of living, they had innate advantages over Shao Gang and other students from other places. Let’s talk about communication tools, Lu Yuan had already started using mobile phones, and most of them were still using pagers.
This is the essential difference between children from local middle-class families and young people from Hangzhou. Can you say that Shao Gang and others are not excellent? It is not. They just lost at the starting line. If Lu Yuan was not a local, from a middle-class family with dual-employed state-owned enterprises, nor did he go to work in Hangzhou San Cotton Factory as soon as he graduated, but like Shao Gang and Ma Zhuozhi, he made a living by himself and started from scratch, maybe he might not have been able to live better than Shao Gang and others.
Of course, Lu Yuan also has his own personal excellence and his uniqueness, which cannot be denied. Otherwise, he would not have grown from a rookie in state-owned enterprises to a rising star in the sales department in just a few months, and would not have come into Guan Liangyi's sight by chance, personally called him and transferred him to a confidential department like the factory reform office.
When Shabu-boat, when Shao Gang and the others heard Lu Yuan talk about this, they were not only shocked, but also envious from the bottom of their hearts...
Although they do not work in state-owned enterprises, it does not mean that they know nothing about the matters in state-owned enterprises. The Factory Reform Office is an administrative department and a place to cultivate and train young grassroots cadres of state-owned factories. Lu Yuan can transfer from the sales department to the Factory Reform Office, which means that from now on, he will embark on a different path than everyone present.
Perhaps in a few years, Lu Yuan will become the deputy director of a workshop under the state-owned factory of Hangzhou Sanmian, or the deputy director of a department, or even the deputy director of an office.
In Shao Gang and the others' opinion, when that day comes, Lu Yuan and the students here are obviously two different social classes. The intimacy between classmates will become increasingly weak, and the clear distinction between social classes will only become increasingly clear.
This is the social reality and the various aspects of life!
Fortunately, on the hot pot table, everyone hasn't talked about this in depth. After all, it's less than a year since graduation, and the friendship between classmates is strong. Lu Yuan also deliberately changed the topic and talked about some gossip when he was studying. It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the hot pot was finished.
At the end, Lu Yuan had to pay the bill, but was stopped by Shao Gang and he suggested aa. After all, everyone has a salary when they come out to work. It is better for such classmates to have aa dinner, which is more refreshing.
Since Shao Gang and the others insisted, there was no need for Lu Yuan to compete for this order.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, those who should be the last bus should be the bus, those who should be the rented ones should be the rented ones, and they said goodbye to each other and went home.
The hot pot restaurant is not far from the community where Shao Gang's home. Shao Gang invited Lu Yuan and Ma Georgia to take a while at home, but Ma Georgia had to take the last bus back to the Red Scream Web Cafe because he had to work night shifts. The seven-day National Day holiday, and the Internet cafe business is the best, so Ma Georgia and others are in the Internet administrators without holidays. However, they said that their boss is quite conscientious and has doubled the extra subsidies.
Lu Yuan followed Shao Gang to his house. However, when he went to his house again this time, the living room was obviously much messy than last time, and the living room was filled with the smell of leftovers. Shao Gang said that the bedroom that had been empty was rented away. It was a young couple who came to Hangzhou from Henan to work. Once there were more residents in this shared house, it would naturally not be as clean and fresh as before.
Fortunately, Shao Gang's bedroom has an independent balcony, where they can smoke a cigarette and chat.
The autumn wind is cool tonight and the moon is bright.
Lu Yuan leaned against the balcony railing, gently exhaled a smoke ring, and asked, "Why didn't Wen Yan call tonight's hot pot?"
"What are we calling her for a group of football men to get together?" Shao Gang shook his head and smiled.
Lu Yuan found that Shao Gang was a bit fierce in smoking. He discovered that when he was sautéing hot pot tonight, he actually smoked one by one. He was very curious. Has he developed such a great addiction to smoking recently?
He tried to ask, "Are you upset?"
"Ha, we started to meet each other since the first year of the year. When did you see me have no worries?"
Shao Gang smiled bitterly and said, "It's either that parents at home have something to do, or that brothers and sisters at home have something to do. Lu Yuan, do you know? I envy you very much!"
Lu Yuan knew about Shao Gang's family situation, and it was no longer a secret in the 302 dormitory.
But after hearing what Shao Gang said, he asked curiously: "What do you envy me?"
"From the first day I met you, I have never seen you worry about the people and things at home. You are an only child and a treasure at home. Your parents are dual employees, and you never have to worry about tuition and living expenses. What about me? Every time I start school, I am very afraid of asking for tuition with my dad, because I know that every time I start school, our family has to move around. At the beginning of every month, as long as I can't receive the remittance slip from my family, I am very scared, afraid that my family can no longer make living expenses. Do you know? In the past few years of college, I have been thinking about studying peacefully, but unexpectedly it has become a luxury!"
Shao Gang became more and more excited as he spoke. He sucked a few sips of cigarettes hard and said, "This world is really unfair, they are all human beings. Some people are destined to be bumpy and rugged as soon as they are born, while others become the pinnacle of what others hope for in this life!"
"Shao Gang, do you remember when we were having dinner at Fat Brother Restaurant, when I talked to you?"
Lu Yuan took away half of the cigarette from Shao Gang's hand. He smoked too fiercely, and then said, "How to reincarnate and how to reincarnate yourself, these are not something we can decide. You say you envy me, but I still envy Pan Dahai. People hold the golden key at birth, and there is no word for struggle in their outlook on life, and they can directly rely on their parents. But what is there to compare? Some people are destined to be able to have food and clothing when they are born, while others are destined to change their destiny. This is the impermanence of fate and various aspects of life, right? Instead of being angry about the injustice of fate to you, you might as well declare war on it, resist it, and finally let it change it to you!"
"Lu Yuan, I understand everything you said!"
Shao Gang slapped the balcony railing excitedly and said, "But I can no longer wait for the day when I successfully change my destiny. I can no longer wait, and Su Wenyan can no longer wait!"
"Do you have something to say?"
As Lu Yuan said, he gently patted Shao Gang on the shoulder, sootheed his excitement, and then asked: "I just said why didn't you ask Wen Yan to come to the hot pot together today? There must be something wrong."
Shao Gang fell silent, sighed lightly, and looked into the dark night in the distance.
Lu Yuan lit a cigarette, handed it to him, and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong with you two?"
Shao Gang took the cigarette and took a hard sip, allowing the spicy nicotine to fill the lungs, and then turned into a string of coughs, and tears burst out from his eyes. He said, "Wen Yan proposed to break up with me! Just yesterday!"
"You two are fine, why did she break up?"
In Lu Yuan's impression, Su Wenyan is not like the kind of girl who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, nor is she like the kind of girl who bows to reality innocence. She is more like a literary young woman who has a lot of love, otherwise she would not have chosen to be with Shao Gang because of a few poems.
