MTL - Rebirth 1999: Opening the Age of Black Technology-Chapter 2 tough old chen family

After class, Teacher Liao left Chen Xiao alone.

Teacher Liao said to Chen Xiao: "Chen Xiao, your performance is very good today. The big question I just wrote on the blackboard is the last national paper question of last year's college entrance examination. There are very few students who can do it, and they can solve it in two ways. There will be no more than five students in the city."

"This year, the country has implemented the 3+X system. We are participating in the national proposition, and it is also a combination of language and mathematics. I don't worry about you in other subjects, mainly your English. It's too slow!"

The group of people who took the college entrance examination in 1999 had a weak foundation in English, and Chen Xiao first came into contact with English only in the second grade of junior high school.

In addition, Chen Xiao's family conditions are not good, and he has no chance to participate in English training and watch English movies, so his English level is even lower.

A week ago, Chen Xiao's grades in science were good enough. The only thing that held him back was English. With a total score of 150, Chen Xiao only got more than 60 points in the English test.

This result is not enough for Chen Xiao to be admitted to 211 and 985 universities.

"I see, Teacher Liao." Chen Xiao wanted to laugh, English? Isn't English just a play for him?

Before the rebirth, both Chinese and English became the most important languages ​​in the world. How can your work and business be separated from English?

Teacher Liao said with great concern: "You know that the English teacher of our school is a top student who graduated from the University of Foreign Studies. Recently, several parents of students asked him to take a sprint class for the college entrance examination. The fee is not expensive. It is 50 yuan a month. After discussing with the family, we can also come to tutoring."

In 1999, Chen Qiang's salary was only more than 400 yuan. If he spent 50 yuan a month for tuition, his family could never afford it.

And since he has lived again, Chen Xiao doesn't want to waste time on this, he said, "Thank you, Teacher Liao, I will go back and ask my family for one thing, and it's not a matter of a few days to improve my English..."

Listening to Chen Xiao's consideration, Teacher Liao nodded and said, "Okay, you can discuss this matter with your family."

"Mr. Liao, then I'll go first."

In 1999, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School did not have mandatory evening self-study. Most of the students who lived in the city would go home after class in the afternoon. In addition, there was a placement test tomorrow, so Chen Xiao also packed his things. , it is convenient for the teacher to move the desk.

Chen Xiao went to the parking shed behind the school playground and found his 28th bar. After Chen Xiao went to high school, the owner of the car changed from Chen Qiang to Chen Xiao.

At the door, Chen Xiao watched Su Qiao sit in Poussin and leave the school. In this era, Poussin can be opened, and the family is very rich.

He remembered that Su Qiao's father was the director of a state-owned machinery factory, and he belonged to the second generation of the rich.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Xiao arrived at the employee family area of ​​the state-owned machinery factory.

The pitted concrete pavement, a dozen messy four-story red brick houses, and the not-so-beautiful community gardens were separated into chicken pens and duck coops, like tumors in the community, when the sun came out , the whole family home is smelly.

After the housing reform in 1998, the first batch of commercial housing also appeared in Jiangcheng. The family members who were in good conditions in the courtyard went out to buy commercial housing, and those who stayed here were generally ordinary workers or the elderly.

A duck twisted its **** in front of Chen Xiao and drank the water from the puddle, not afraid of anyone.

Chen Xiao looked at such an environment, it was 1999...

Climb up to the top floor, take out the key, and open the door.

When Chen Xiao saw two familiar figures in the kitchen, tears were about to flow out.

Although it is a parallel world with a completely different environment and time, the parents look exactly the same. Before the rebirth, Chen Xiao's parents died in a car accident very early, and now they look real and kind.

Before Chen Xiao could say hello, he heard his parents arguing in the kitchen.

While cooking, Lin Hui said dissatisfiedly, "Why did they let you unload the goods at night again? Is there no one in their cargo group! You can't take it all night, and your iron body can't bear it!"

Chen Qiang said with a smile: "Isn't this a lack of people in the cargo team? I was able to earn ten yuan for overtime one night. Xiaozi is going to college soon, and the tuition and living expenses are another sum of money. There is still half a year left. I will make more money. a little!"

"You've just had surgery again, and it cost a lot of money..."

Lin Hui had surgery for uterine fibroids last week and was just discharged the day before yesterday.

Lin Hui was very distressed, "If you make money, you won't die? I told you to borrow some from your eldest sister and third brother, but you are not willing to speak."

Chen Qiang: "They are also very specific. Zhou Tao (the eldest sister's son) talked about a girlfriend, saying that he is going to get married next year, and the girl from the third brother's family has to go to college and needs money..."

The more Chen Qiang said, the less confident he was.

Lin Hui said with red eyes: "The two of them are so good, one works in the government and the other is in business! When my parents were sick, they didn't care and threw it to us. Now that my parents are gone, they asked us for Let this suite in the family area be divided equally! Where are the brothers and sisters!"

Chen Qiang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it!"

Lin Hui couldn't control it: "Mr. Liao just called and said that Xiaozi's grades can be delayed by English. I want us to sign up for Teacher Wang's English sprint class. It costs 50 yuan a month."

Chen Qiang stopped when he was peeling the garlic.

Lin Hui: "This is the teacher's tutoring alone. All the students in the class who are able to attend are those who have the hope of being admitted to key universities. The teacher is not trying to make money...I...I'll borrow some."

Lin Hui's surgery cost a lot of money. Chen Qiang was in the hospital last week to take care of his wife and did not go to the factory. He was also deducted for full attendance and no piece rate.

The old Chen family couldn't open the pot anymore.

Chen Xiao walked over and said, "Dad, Mom, I'm not going to the English cram school. Don't worry about your English grades, I know what I'm doing."

After Chen Xiao unloaded his schoolbag, he began to help.

Lin Hui knew at a glance that her son had overheard the conversation between her and Chen Qiang, she gave Chen Qiang a hard look, and said, "You child, why don't you go! Teacher Liao called me, saying that you are very hopeful. Focus on it! Parents have money for tuition, so you can go to class with peace of mind."

Chen Qiang also said: "That's right, Xiaozi, it's not long before the college entrance examination, you can study and go to tutoring at ease, don't worry about other things."

At this moment, some rotten wooden doors were knocked.

Here is Aunt Ma from downstairs.

Aunt Ma was carrying fruit in her hand, "I heard that Lin Hui, you have been discharged from the hospital, I will come to see you."

Chen Xiao went to wash the cup and poured water, and Lin Hui hurriedly greeted him: "Sister Ma, if you said you would bring some fruit, have you eaten or not, let's have dinner together."

Aunt Ma waved her hand and said, "I won't eat the meal, but I can't even talk about one thing... You see, my family is usually not in good health, and often goes to the hospital to take medicine, which costs a lot... Look, you They're all out of the hospital..."

The atmosphere immediately froze.

Lin Hui was hospitalized and asked Aunt Ma to borrow 200 yuan to ask for repayment.
