With a Door In Mind

He didn't know when Hu Laosan left.

But in the early morning of the New Year's Eve, a letter was stuffed on the door of Zhou Xiaochuan's main room.

Although he fell asleep at night, Hu Laosan entered the yard and woke up immediately.

When he found out that it was Hu Laosan, he didn't get up.

Wait for the other party to leave.

With a thought, he removed the envelope from the door.

I opened it and looked at it. It was a thank you letter, but it was written in a crooked way, not much better than that of a primary school student.

Said that he may go to the Laomaozi border area, or to the other side of the sea.

However, Zhou Xiaochuan heard it from Hu Laosan's words.

He may have recognized himself and had dealt with him.

Although between the lines it is more obscure.

But Zhou Xiaochuan still saw it.

But he didn't know whether Hu Laosan's certainty was just suspicion.

I didn't care too much, since he put on a mask to trade, his true colors have not appeared.

This detail can only be discovered by people who have been trading for a long time. At present, only Hu Laosan is such a person.

After reading it, he closed the letter. He continued to sleep.

I don't know what Hu Laosan will be like in the future.

But as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be a character after he is changed.

Time flickers.

January 1965.

It has been two years since the last time I graduated from junior high school.

At this time, he will also experience an important choice in life.

Whether to go to work or go to college.

After this year, he will be 18 years old.

Although it is already January of 1965,

But in the eyes of the common people, only after the New Year's Eve can be regarded as the real second year.

At this time, he had just come out of the head teacher's office.

I gave up going to college and went to work in a factory.

The reason is that the family does not have much income, and he can no longer go to college.

Although there are many such students every year, for Zhou Xiaochuan, who has excellent grades, the teacher still feels it is a pity.

Even the school teacher finally mentioned that the university has a student grant. Zhou Xiaochuan's grades and family meet such conditions.

You can apply at that time.

But he still refused.

Now there is only one question left, which is which factory to enter.

Graduates can enter the factory, but only if the factory recruits you.

In this era, there is no such thing as going to the interview yourself, it is all directly assigned.

However, there were several people standing at the door of the office at this time.

Chu Yanyan, Zhang Dazhuang and a few good classmates from high school.

"Zhou Xiaochuan, what do you think?"

In the past four years, Zhang Dazhuang has also come to the school dressed as a peasant at this time. Although he is wearing a simple, beige military uniform, he looks like a scholar.

The whole person seemed more confident.

Others also looked incomprehensible, especially Chu Yanyan, who hated the feeling that iron is not steel.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "I'm 18, and there will be no more pensions. Everyone has their own way to go. I have already decided, so don't talk about it."

After saying that, he turned around to push his bicycle.

Behind him, Chu Yanyan shouted loudly, "Zhou Xiaochuan."

However, Zhou Xiaochuan did not look back and left.

After leaving school, he rode to the textile factory, and he was going to find Zhao Qinian.

Go ask what he said.

I have finished the college entrance examination, and I have not told others about the fact that I am not ready to go to college.

Riding a bicycle to the textile factory, no one stopped him and came to Zhao Qinian's office.

The other party watched Zhou Xiaochuan come in, put down the pen in his hand, and said with a smile, "Is the grade down? Where do you volunteer? Qingda University? Or Beijing University?"

He knew Zhou Xiaochuan's grades, and he was in the top three every year.

This result is not much different from the random selection of schools across the country.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the large tea jar next to him and blew the tea leaves and took a sip.

"I'm going into the factory."

"cough...cough"

Zhao Qinian was drinking tea when he heard that he was choked by the water.

After coughing for a while, after returning to normal, he looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"I'm going into the factory."

Zhou Xiaochuan said it again with a calm face.

Confirming that he heard correctly, Zhao Qinian violently threw the large magnetic cylinder in his hand on the table.

Tea splashed all over, but luckily there was only one book on the table.

"Nonsense. You entered the factory with such good grades? You actually said you want to enter the factory? Do you know what it means to be admitted to a university in the future?"

"It's okay to mess around a little bit, but can you mess around with this?"

"Is the brain sick? Or are you full?"

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless, it seems that it is also a problem to pretend that the exam is too good.

He could only say helplessly: "Grandpa Zhao, I'm 18 years old now, and my pension is gone. There must be someone at home who works."

Hearing that Zhou Xiaochuan was talking about money, he didn't even call.

"What if the pension is gone, I'm not dead yet. How much do you want? I'll lend it to you, and I'm not in a hurry for you to pay it back. After the two old guys leave, you can just pay it back to Qingqing. "

Zhou Xiaochuan was also moved when he heard Zhao Qinian's words.

If I don't know what happened next, I will try my best to finish college.

But I already know that in the latter case, it doesn't make much sense to continue to college.

"Grandpa Zhao, I didn't fill in the volunteer. It's too late to say anything now."

Helpless, Xiaochuan can only say next week.

"Go away, get the hell out of me."

Zhao Qinian was even more angry when he heard his words.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly when he heard the words, "Grandpa Zhao, the textile factory has to get my file as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know where I'm assigned."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, he didn't answer him, just scolded: "Get out of here..."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled shyly, and then left his office.

Looking at the background of Zhou Xiaochuan's departure, Zhao Qinian was disappointed and relieved.

However, he still hopes that Zhou Xiaochuan can finish university safely.

But Zhou Xiaochuan has already made his own decision, and there is no way to change it now.

Frowning, he still picked up the phone next to him.

"Xiao Cui, how is the preparation for the recruitment of high school and junior high school graduates this year?"

"Well, okay, that's okay, these students are all precious. Especially the high school students. We have to move quickly, and we'll be gone later."

"Well, okay, you and Secretary Yang will report this matter as soon as possible. The results from the school will come out in two days. Show me the list as soon as possible."

"Uh, uh, well, that's it."

After the phone call, Zhao Qinian rubbed his brows. Although he was annoyed by Zhou Xiaochuan's actions, he had to come as soon as possible and do a good job in a familiar place.

It would be troublesome if they were sent to a rural primary school to be a teacher.

Zhou Xiaochuan left Zhao Qinian's office and came to Guo Tuozi.

"Did you tell Lao Zhao? Did you get scolded?"

Guo Tuozi was packing the car in his hand, and when he saw the other party coming over, he asked teasingly.

Zhou Xiaochuan touched his nose when he heard the words and nodded.

Wang Jianmin was also working next to him, and he echoed, "It's all light to scold you, I really don't understand you. If it were me, my father would probably break my leg."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and did not explain further.

Seeing this, Wang Jianmin shrugged, "Okay, you've already made a decision. Let's stop talking."
