Chapter 187: Worth showing off

"Reading early? Still memorizing the text? Are you preparing to die?

If I don’t go, I can’t get up! It’s finally summer vacation, but I have to get up earlier than going to school. Am I sick?”

"You don't want to study hard and go to college?"

Liu Xiaoming said nonchalantly: "If you can pass the exam, take the exam. If you fail, just wait for the job assignment. My dad knows too many people, so the job will definitely be good!"

Uh! Huang Han was shocked!

Liu Xiaoming also added: "The purpose of getting into college is to get a good job. Unlike you, I don't have to go to the countryside to farm if I can't get into college."

When Huang Han was a child, many neighbor children did have this idea, probably because their parents showed off the advantages of a fixed household registration at home.

Indeed, the rationed household registration before the 1990s is really worth showing off, otherwise it would be impossible for rural people to spend 8,000 yuan to buy a household registration for their children.

It was in the early 1990s, and the state issued a policy that the price of a fixed household registration in Sanshui County was 8,000 yuan.

Too many rural people save money and buy a household registration for their children's future. At that time, 8,000 yuan could buy two old bungalows! The price of commercial housing in the city center was only more than 800 yuan per square meter.

Reform and opening up has given more than one billion rural households the opportunity to participate in competition. Too many young rural people have moved to cities and become migrant workers who have paid the most and received the least.

In the 1980s, young people with urban household registration were the unemployed youth, and the state would always arrange jobs, which was completely different from those in rural areas who were "blind migrants".

City people who have the means really don't care whether their children can go to college, because the jobs they get through connections may not be worse than the jobs assigned to graduates from technical secondary schools or junior colleges.

For example, Xiao Qiang just graduated from a vocational high school and got a job in three or two jobs. Her salary is not low and her work is not tiring. She is better than most college students of the same age.

Liu Xiaoming also graduated from a vocational high school, and he belongs to the unlucky kind.

Liu Zhaoxiang made a request when he retired. At this time, "replacement" was no longer allowed. After several setbacks, Liu Xiaoming was finally transferred from a metal products manufacturing factory to a guest house and got the establishment of a public institution.

Who would have known that Liu Xiaoming had only been a happy employee within the system for five years, and the guest house closed down.

The closure of government guesthouses is simply unique, as guesthouses in nearby counties and cities have always existed.

Liu Xiaoming was involved in something with such a low probability, which shows how unlucky he is!

Paying social security according to the amount established by his business was a heavy burden for Liu Xiaoming, who was laid off to make a living on his own. In the end, he had to give up and pay according to the minimum standard.

The words Huang Han heard most when he was a child was, "Study hard, and getting into college is the only way out."

This is probably a special instruction from Huang Daozhou, a special family in this city.

I guess Liu Xiaoming, Wang Sixiao, Li Mei, Gao Jia, etc. may not think that going to college will bring such a great change.

This is actually very simple, "All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome."

No one can predict the future. Before 1981, rural household registration was indeed a heavy shackle.

In order to obtain a job in a country with a fixed household registration, for rural households with "legless crabs", the only option is to take the entrance examination to technical secondary school or university.

There used to be one, but it was no longer viable after 1981 because the country was disarmament.

In the past, people with a rural household registration could join the army. If they worked hard in the army, they could get a volunteer quota. After ten or eight years, they would be able to obtain a fixed household registration and get a job after changing jobs.

Seeing Liu Xiaoming like this, Huang Han didn't want to say anything. At worst, he would help him when he was laid off, and remind him to think carefully when he married his wife, lest his wife run away with him.

Liu Xiaoming's wife is also a weirdo. She really married a rich man and enjoyed wealth, so Huang Han stopped complaining.

This woman was blind. She left Liu Xiaoming and her son to become a bastard, and even spent all her personal money.

Later, Huang Han came to his senses and wanted to remarry. Huang Han wanted to persuade Liu Xiaoming to forget it and give that silly woman a chance. He just treated it as a bicycle that was stolen and ridden a few times before being returned.

But Liu Xiaoming was completely heartbroken and refused to give in. He was determined to live a carefree life alone. Although he was poor, he still had fun!

Principal Zhu and Secretary Ma came to the piano classroom because they were worried. Seeing that Huang Han was doing things carelessly and there were two older boys helping him with the work, they simply ignored it and left after sitting for a while.

The kids loved listening to music and didn't want to go home until after eleven o'clock.

Of course, Huang Han didn't need to do it himself when moving things. Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo were very powerful.

Huang Han rode a tricycle, followed by Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo on bicycles. In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the "Shi Jing Cheng Hotel" that was about to open.

"Brother! What are these?" The little girl who had never seen a radio or speaker looked curious.

"This is called a cassette recorder. It can play songs. I will connect the wires later and play "Ronghua" for you."

Huang Xin had heard of the radio cassette player. She ran over and looked around and asked, "Is this a radio cassette player that can listen to English tapes and record our voices?"

"Yes! It's just that recording requires a blank tape. I don't have one, so I can't record it!"

"Brother, I just want to listen to music now!"

"Okay! I'll put it on right away. Xiaoqian, you have to keep an eye on this cassette player. No one is allowed to touch it except me."

"I know that if someone touches it, it will damage the tape recorder."

Huang Han directed Qian Aiguo and Cheng Wenge to help with wiring and connecting the speakers, but did not dare to turn up the volume during debugging.

The radio cassette player is a rare thing. At this time, there is no store in Sanshui County that plays songs to attract the attention of the crowd. If there is a lot of noise, the place will be filled with people in minutes.

"There is a beautiful flower in the world, it is the beauty of youth..." Li Guyi's crisp singing voice sounded, which was much stronger than the effect of the radio.

"Wow! It sounds great! It's like being in a movie theater!"

Xiu'er, Yu'er and Zhang Fangfen all stopped what they were doing to watch this magical tape recorder.

"Mom, you like to listen to Yue opera, but it's a pity that there are no Yue opera tapes here. Next year, my family will also buy a cassette player and a tape of the Yue opera "Dream of Red Mansions". If you want to listen to it, you can listen to it immediately."

"This thing must be expensive, right?"

"It's not cheap, but my family definitely needs one. Think about it! How wonderful would it be for customers to listen to a piece of Yue opera while waiting for the pickled fish to be sold?"

"Haha, I listen to Shaoxing opera while cooking, and I feel very happy! As long as my family has money, I will definitely be willing to buy this. What is this called?"

Huang Xin said: "Take a cassette player, Mom, learning English is much easier with a cassette player. I can listen to the tape and read it over and over again!"

"Ah? This thing can help you study? Then you should buy it back as soon as possible!"

Huang Han tries his best to delay the purchase of a TV set for his family, but supports buying a radio cassette player as early as possible.

In fact, the so-called recording function is a complete waste. Most people don't need the recording function at all. Most of them just buy the radio when it is fresh for a few days to record sounds for their family members.

Huang Han's plan is to go to Shanghai after the Spring Festival. He plans to buy a "radio player" in person, which is the kind with a radio function but no recording function.

There is this kind of product in my memory, and the price is much cheaper than the cassette recorder!
