Chapter 6: Here are the red flowers

Everyone thinks that a diploma is too important, but in fact it generally refers to wage earners.

Because this thing is a stepping stone when looking for a job. With a diploma, you can get better and more job opportunities.

Huang Han resigned early before the company closed down and went to work for himself. Although he was just running a small business, he didn't need to flatter anyone, and his diploma was useless.

Even so, Huang Han still firmly believes that if he has the opportunity to study and study in a well-known university, he will spare no effort.

Huang Han was a freshman in high school when he was sixteen, but he dropped out of school after less than half a semester and became an apprentice.

The reason is very simple. Huang Daozhou is seriously ill and his employer can take care of him so he can retire early and let his children take his place.

Only then did we truly realize the superiority of state-owned workers under the socialist system. No wonder people all over the country at this time are eager to become public servants and have an iron rice bowl.

Because there was no medical reform at this time, the state took care of all life, old age, illness and death. Huang Daozhou was an employee of a state-owned unit. Not only did he enjoy free medical care, but the unit also sent people to take care of him or paid for the care.

Housewife Zhang Fangfen was able to get a monthly salary for taking care of the sick Huang Daozhou, which was definitely more than doing some sewing and mending, which was a characteristic of this era.

Therefore, Huang Daozhou's poor family did not become poorer due to the disease, and it also brought an excellent opportunity to solve the problem of his son's rural household registration.

This is the "Yue Nongmen"! It's a rare thing, so who wouldn't cherish it?

Besides, Huang Han only got into a third-rate high school far away from home. Who can guarantee that he will be able to get into college?

Not only are his family members not optimistic about it, Huang Han also doesn't have the confidence.

The passing rate of the middle school he attended was less than 10%, which meant that only five people in a class of fifty or sixty students could go to colleges and universities to continue their studies.

You must know that the admission rate of Sanshui Experimental Middle School, which has been listed as a provincial key junior high school and has been cancelled, is as high as 70% to 80%.

At that time, parents regarded getting admitted to an experimental middle school as important as getting admitted to a university, because as long as their children were admitted to an experimental high school, they would have a quota for a junior high school.

The competition is fierce. It is not easy for a middle-class student from a third-rate school to reach the top line. Who dares to take the risk?

Moreover, Huang Han still had the special situation of having a rural household registration, so of course he wanted to pocket the immediate benefits.

This is no lie. A rural household registration of more than 80 years is simply a shame and a shackles for young people living in cities.

The reason is very simple. At this time, ordinary high school students basically have no difficulty in getting a job. They can only wait for a year and a half at most.

High school students who failed in the Experimental Middle School do not have to wait. Those with fixed-rate accounts are basically accepted by good units such as banks, post offices and telecommunications, and power supply bureaus.

However, high school students with rural registered permanent residence cannot get the opportunity to be assigned a job. They can only find connections and ask someone to get a temporary job. Not only is the work hard, the income is low, and they are unstable without any benefits.

During the diploma craze, Huang Han, who had been working as a repairman and electrician for more than three years, was transferred to work as a buyer in the material system. He also followed the trend and took night classes and took self-study exams.

I spent four or five years studying in my spare time to obtain a technical secondary school diploma.

It's a pity that times have changed, the country has grasped the big ones and let go the small ones, and the units are about to become obsolete. How can it be possible to fulfill the practice of raising wages?

Huang Han resigned in anger and left the declining state-owned unit, which was a blessing in disguise.

He worked hard and made his own decisions. Although he did not make a fortune, his income was higher than that of most people who were liquidated by their work units. You must know that their wages at that time were much higher than Huang Han's.

The problem now is that my family is too poor. If I skip a grade and my sister is admitted to college, my parents will definitely not be able to afford two college students. The top priority should be to solve poverty and have meat to eat every day first before thinking about other things.

Huang Han didn't expect to be targeted by his class teacher, who was memorizing texts and dictating new words.

Fortunately, he had deliberately read the required texts with notes and was able to cope with Fatty Jiang's special care.

This is absolutely abnormal. More students think Huang Han is different and secretly curse him.

Even Huang Han can recite the text fluently, why can't he memorize it?

Even Huang Han was able to write the new words silently, so there was no difficulty in writing them. He must not make mistakes.

After all, Fatty Jiang was a teacher. He couldn't get angry and curse at Huang Han casually if he couldn't find his fault. He felt uncomfortable. He seemed to be thinking about things when get out of class was over, and it was obvious that he was absent-minded.

The third period was music class. The soul of an old man shamelessly mixed in with a group of little kids and sang:

"...There are red flowers here, green grass here, and the little oriole that can sing, dilililidilidilili..." It's really creepy.

While Huang Han was racking his brains to figure out how to have meat to eat every day, his stomach couldn't help but growl, and his empty stomach felt indescribably uncomfortable.

This feeling is really fresh in my memory. I have almost forgotten everything about my elementary school days, but the feeling of hunger in my stomach during the third period of class in the morning can be said to be remembered for a lifetime.

"Dingling bells!" The sound of electric bells came from the direction of the ancient stage, and the campus suddenly became noisy. Huang Han jogged all the way home, which probably took him three or four minutes.

The first thing I did when I got home was to cut my nails and wash my hands. I finally got rid of the black nails.

Zhang Fangfen was as busy as ever and had no time to notice her son's abnormal behavior. Only her seven-year-old sister Huang Qi followed Huang Han around.

Huang Qian, who is not yet in school, is not simple. He is very talented in reading, even better than his sister Huang Xin. After entering school, he has always been in the top ten in the class. In the end, he gave up high school because his family was poor and chose to study in a junior high school. "

"Yue Nongmen".

Isn't it now more than ten years later? The score line of the best provincial key high school in Sanshui County is several points lower than the score line of a technical secondary school. You must know that in the fierce competition, one point is enough to defeat a lot of people.

Huang Qian has the ability to be admitted to a prestigious university if he goes to high school.

It's a pity that poverty prevents us from using our imagination and we can only choose immediate benefits.

It's all over, it's useless to think too much, let's look at the present.

Not long after Huang Han took out the bowls and chopsticks and washed them again with well water, Huang Daozhou and Huang Xin also entered the house one after another. Lunch was very simple, a large bowl of vegetables and a large pot of multi-grain rice.

Why should we eat grains? Do we know how to maintain health during this period?

Nonsence!

That's because Huang Han's family has four rural household registrations. He needs to spend money to buy rations from the rural production team in the place where his household registration is located. He has no right to choose. He can buy whatever food is available.

It is impossible to have polished rice or white flour, but a combination of rice, wheat, sweet potato, barley, etc.

If you only buy rice and wheat, there will be only one result: you will not have enough food to eat, and you will starve.

Why do you have to go to the production team to buy rations? That’s because food in other places requires food stamps. Huang Han’s family only has twenty-eight kilograms of food stamps a month.

Without food stamps, he had to buy food from the black market at high prices. Huang Daozhou's family was extremely poor. They bought the cheapest brown rice for cheap food. How could they possibly afford the high-priced food on the black market.

Today's rice cooker contains 60% crushed barley and 40% cooked multigrain rice.

As a child, Huang Han couldn't stand the roughness of barley flats. He used to cry and protest during meals, but the family's conditions did not allow him to open a small stove for Huang Han.

The smart Zhang Fangfen deliberately did not stir the barley evenly when cooking. When loading the rice, she often loaded Huang Han with the portion in the center of the rice pot that was basically the rice.
