Chapter 419: The 80s' 'Five Grains of Harvest' 5
After the exam, Huang Haiyang rarely showed up at the door of Class 3. It was not difficult to tell that the guy must not have done very well in the exam.
Gu Li didn't care. Whether he did well or not in the exam had nothing to do with her.
As long as she performs steadily, it will be fine.
The teachers worked overtime to grade the final grades, and the grades were quickly distributed to the students. Then they could choose liberal arts or science based on their grades.
Gu Li gave up physics and chose biology and chemistry.
Xiang Haiwei and Gu Li filled out the application form, but the pen in his hand never put down a single word.
The subject that Xiang Haiwei is best at is physics. He says he is second in the entire grade and no one dares to claim to be first.
The class teacher came down to collect the application forms, but Xiang Haiwei had not made a decision yet.
"Xiang Haiwei, what are you still hesitating about? If you don't choose physics and chemistry, what else do you want to choose?" The head teacher urged in confusion.
In the end, under the unquestioning gaze of his class teacher, he chose the subject he should have chosen.
After the seats were changed at the beginning of the school year, he and Gu Li had less communication due to the distance between them. From then on, the distance between them would be even greater.
------
Facing the scorching sunset, Gu Li pedaled her bicycle for more than two hours, sweating all over, and finally returned to Gujia Village.
Before she entered the village, she was stopped by Gu Yubo who was waiting at the entrance of the village.
It was obvious that he was waiting here for her.
She is so impatient, there must be some big news that she is eager to share with her.
Gu Li guessed the beginning, but didn't expect the content to be so outrageous.
"What? What did you say Gu Min did after resigning?"
Gu Yubo mouthed the two words silently again, "Miss."
When Miss becomes a profession, it is no longer a general term for young women. It is a term with a certain connotation and is absolutely derogatory.
"She was doing well in the teahouse, why would she do that? She's still a minor."
Gu Yubo sighed, "Have you forgotten? Gu Min is two years older than us."
Gu Li suddenly realized.
Gu Min's family had always been reluctant to pay for a girl like her to go to school, but they could not resist the repeated persuasion of the village leaders that the nine-year compulsory education must be completed. This was why Gu Min, who had been delayed for two years, was able to go to the same class as Gu Li and the others.
Gu Min is 19 years old this year.
But it’s still very small.
"How did you know about this?" Logically, this matter should be kept secret from acquaintances, how could the whole village know about it?
Gu Yubo: "You've heard of Tang Changjiao from Tang Jiadai, right? He told me about it when he came back from the city."
Gu Li nodded. He was a well-known rogue in the neighboring village. He was still a bachelor in his thirties and often appeared in Comrade Zhang Yuhua's gossip.
How lazy, how sloppy, how cunning.
In short, he is a lazy, opportunistic street urchin.
Different from Gu Li's country boy, Tang Changjiao can't stay at home. He never works in the fields and likes to hang out in the city all day long.
However, I heard last year that he seemed to have followed a boss from out of town who came to invest, made a small fortune, and renovated the old house for his parents.
The fact that a person who was always looked down upon suddenly became rich made the villagers talk about him even more.
Last week, Tang Changjiao followed his boss to entertain clients in a newly opened dance hall in the city. The manager of the dance hall brought in a group of new ladies.
The ladies in cool clothes lined up in a row. Tang Changjiao recognized Gu Min standing in the crowd at a glance.
There was no other reason. Tang Changjiao had spent more than 20 years wandering around the village during the first 36 miles. He certainly knew Gu Min, who was kicked out of the house at the age of five to cut grass for pigs.
Gu Min also knew Tang Changjiao.
The moment the two looked at each other, they knew they recognized each other.
To Tang Changjiao's surprise, Gu Min did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited until the boss gave out red envelopes one by one before she slipped away with the money.
Tang Changjiao didn't expect that Gu Min was even more shameless than him, and she would not leave until she got the money. So, he went back to the village and told the story to the villagers as a joke.
Such rumors reached Gujia Village in no time.
Gu Min's reputation was completely ruined.
Both clients and prostitutes should be topics that are criticized, but people tend to be more harsh on women.
This incident happened four or five days ago, and there are several versions of the story, but they all revolve around the topic of her being a prostitute. On the contrary, there are almost no people who say that Tang Changjiao is a prostitute.
Even if we bring Tang Changjiao along, most people will only say that Tang Changjiao is really rich now and has enough money to find a prostitute.
Then the topic will return to Miss Gu Min from Gujia Village.
"Is she still in the city? What did her family say?"
Speaking of this, Gu Yubo became even angrier. "Gu Min's father beat her mother again, and Gu Min's grandmother sat at the door and cried, saying that she didn't recognize Gu Min as a member of their family."
"Gone?"
Gu Yubo nodded, "Her family is really a piece of shit. They didn't even want to go to the city to look for her, and they unilaterally said they didn't recognize Gu Min. Her family just bought a large color TV and a washing machine last month, and those were all with the money Gu Min brought back. They are really a family of vampires, and when something goes wrong, they are better than anyone else at getting away with it."
When Gu Li came back last week, she heard Comrade Zhang Yuhua nagging about building a new house. She said that even the lazy Gu Jin had started looking for a site in the village so that he could apply to the village as soon as possible.
Her family has to support a scholar who eats gold.
Everyone was wondering, where did Gu Jin, who was so poor that his wife had to sell blood, get the money to build a new house?
It turned out that it was the money from his daughter selling her body.
Now, Gu Jin and his wife dared not show up in the village.
However, I think they don't care, and they don't appear in the village very often. The man in his forties, covered at home with a gloomy face, looks like a vampire.
This incident gradually lost its popularity because the person involved never showed up.
From then on, Gu Li never saw Gu Min again. Until many years later, when they met again in the village, Gu Min did not recognize her.
In a flash, another two years passed. Gu Li finished the college entrance examination and was waiting for the results to come out and fill out her application form.
Gu Xilin sat under the eaves of the concrete porch smoking, the light blue smoke covering his slightly tired face.
He took a long puff of his cigarette. "Have you decided on the major you want to study? I heard that computer science is the most popular major in recent years. It is the main direction of future development. Your mother and I are not well educated, so we can't give you any useful advice in this regard. You have to figure it out yourself."
Smoke rings overflowed little by little as Gu Xilin spoke.
Computers! How could she, who had only touched a computer in high school, compete with the kids in big cities who had started using computers in elementary school?
Besides, she is not good at computers.
