Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 23 Stamps
Seeing that there were still a lot of seeds left, Zhang Guifang asked several men in the family to reclaim the land they had been given, and also sprinkled some rapeseed.

But because Zhang Yu planted a lot of spinach and cabbage, she didn't plant much, but instead planted a lot of white radish.

Because of the small size of the vegetable plots, the housewives of each family are careful about how to grow more vegetables with a smaller area.

No, I have learned to interplant spontaneously.

In fact, when Zhang Yu first came to this world, the reason why he chose to work first was because he felt that he did not understand the world and felt insecure.Furthermore, he went to high school in the previous life, and he didn't think much about spending the dark days of studying in high school anymore.

Now after he understands the world, he understands that a degree in today's society will reduce many obstacles for you, and even reach the sky in one step.

The most obvious is that technical secondary school students are divided into 16 grades during their internship, and get a salary of 37 yuan. After they become regulars, they will be promoted to a higher level, and their salary will change to 42.5 yuan, while college students will be 14 grades during their internship, and they can receive a salary of 48.5 yuan. , After becoming a full-time employee, the 13th grade will receive a salary of 55 yuan.

You know, because of my parents, I skipped several grades in the job quota given as an exception, skipped temporary workers, and started directly from regular jobs, skipping two grades in the middle, and only got a salary of 27.5 yuan a month.

Thinking of this, he calculated that the college entrance examination was suspended in 1966, and it was not officially resumed until October 1977, 10, when the People's Daily headlined "Major reforms in the admissions of colleges and universities".

Although workers and peasants, educated young people who have gone to the mountains and the countryside and returned to their hometowns, demobilized soldiers, cadres, and fresh high school graduates can participate, there are some age restrictions, and the age of candidates can be relaxed to 30 years old.

But in 15, he was 77 years old this year. In [-], he was beyond his age. When the first college entrance examination was resumed, he lost his mind on the exam.

Then he could only complete his university studies and assign him before 1966, and then he could no longer just do nothing, and put most of his mind on his studies.

Calculated, if you do well in high school for three years, you can enter university in 61 and work in [-].

At this time, classmates from junior high school came to visit him. He didn't go to school for the last time due to injury, and only took the exam during the senior high school entrance examination.

After the exam, I went to work directly, and got busy again, and became estranged from my junior high school classmates a lot.

The person who came to him this time was the class monitor in junior high school, and his academic performance was among the best in the class.

Liu Hongtao brought two pastries, and led by Zhang Guifang, he walked towards Zhang Yu's house.

When he was about to reach the door, he shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu, your classmate saw you coming."

"Come here, monitor" Zhang Yu shouted in surprise: "Come in, come in.

After the three sat down, Zhang Yu took out a cup to pour water, "Squad leader, drink some water."

"No, no, I'll just sit down and heal. Is your injury healed?"

Zhang Guifang was about to leave when the two were about to chat. After all, she was here, and the two of them couldn't chat.

Moreover, since Xiaoyu was injured, he has lost a lot of friends, and finally someone came to look for him at home, ""Xiaoyu, then you talk, I have something to do, so I will go to work first. "

"Sister-in-law, go get busy, I will entertain the squad leader well."

"Auntie, I'll leave as soon as I say something." Liu Hongtao seemed a little embarrassed when speaking, obviously shy about being a guest.

"Don't leave at noon, save it for dinner, I'll go prepare the meal," Zhang Guifang said, then turned her head and went to the kitchen regardless of what Liu Hongtao wanted to say.

Zhang Yu waited for the sister-in-law to leave and then asked: "Squad leader, what's the situation in the class, you know, I was injured some time ago, and I haven't been back to school except for the exam, and I haven't seen my classmates much, classmates, how did the exam go?" Sample?"

"The results this time are not bad, and many of them did well in the exam."

"The class monitor, you have such good grades, you must have done well in this exam."

"I was admitted to a technical secondary school." Liu Hongtao said with some frustration.

"Didn't you say you want to go to university?" The whole class knows the monitor's ideal, and his grades are very good. More than [-]% of the students are likely to be admitted to university.

"My family wants me to go to technical secondary school. You also know that my father is the only one who works in my family. Besides me, there are five younger brothers and sisters. There are also grandparents in my hometown. My father's salary alone supports everyone. People are very difficult. I will come down earlier and earn money earlier, so I can subsidize my family."

Seeing Liu Hongtao lowering his head afterwards, Zhang Yu understood.It's not that a technical secondary school is better than a university, but that it is more cost-effective for ordinary families to go to a technical secondary school than to go to a university.

Going to technical secondary school means graduating ahead of schedule. After graduation, you will be assigned a good job. You will get a permanent job, you can transfer your account, you can help support your family, and the whole family will benefit.

If you don’t go to technical secondary school, you still have to go to high school for three years, but at this time the admission rate of the college entrance examination is very low. Even if the class leader has good grades, more than [-]% of them may be admitted to university, but nearly [-]% of them may not pass the exam. If you fail the college entrance examination, you will lose your wife and lose your army.

The squad leader is indeed excellent and has good grades, but going to a technical secondary school guarantees that he will have a good job after three years of study, but if he gives up the technical secondary school to go to high school, he will face a huge risk, and his family can't afford to gamble.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.Persuading the class leader to give up technical secondary school and go to high school is to stand up and talk without pain in the back, and the burden of the whole family is on one person, so let's not mention that feeling.

"It doesn't matter if you go to a technical secondary school. After three years, you can get a good job. You can get a salary of 37 yuan immediately. After you become a regular, you can only get 42 yuan. 5, I am envious."

When it came to salary, Liu Hongtao smiled, obviously looking forward to his future life.

At noon, Zhang Yu and Zhang Guifang forced Liu Hongtao to have dinner at home. After the meal, they had to go through a "battle" where you pushed and yelled. What cakes to eat, take them back to the younger brothers and sisters to eat."

In the afternoon, when Zhang Yu sent Liu Hongtao to the entrance of the alley, Liu Hongtao waved his hand: "Don't send him off, my house is not far from here, you can go back quickly."

"Okay, I won't send it off, be careful on the way."

Watching Liu Hongtao go away, I happened to run into a neighbor who worked in the post office and told him that he had a large package.

Zhang Yu turned around and went to the post office, and found that the packages were sent by his parents' comrades in arms. There were six in total, the largest one was sent from the army, and it was sent by several uncles together.

A few small ones were sent from all over the world by comrades-in-arms who had already changed jobs.

It was all kinds of supplements and specialty products. When I opened the letter and saw the instructions inside, it was obvious that they knew that he was injured.

For the concern of these uncles, Zhang Yu felt warm in his heart, and thought of giving them something back.

When he was about to go home and pack some things, he saw someone buying stamps. If he was not mistaken, it was the wrong version of Ji 54 School Federation stamps. He knew this stamp very well.

A senior who joined the company with him was bought by a big boss for 80 yuan because he found this stamp when his home was demolished. It took 10 years.For this reason, instead of asking for demolition money, they chose to ask for more houses.

The life I live now is called nourishment. I never leave work late, and never work overtime. Because of the rent subsidy, I am very proud of those two stamps every time I talk about it.

For this, Zhang Yu was very envious. For a while, he wanted to pick up the leaks, so he paid special attention to all kinds of stamps, but he didn't have that luck at the time, but now he has, it seems that he should pay more attention to it in the future.

This edition of stamps was issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of China on September 1958, 9. It is a set of 4 stamps for the Fifth Congress of the International Federation of Students.Due to the wrong name of the ticket: "The 2th World Student Representative Congress", it was stopped.After correction, it will be "The Fifth Congress of the International Federation of Students", which will be officially issued on the opening day of the meeting.

The wrong ticket was quickly recalled, and it seems that today is his luck.

"Comrade, I want a few stamps like his."
