Chapter 26 From the opening of the journal to the first day
Today is the first day of school, Yuezhong City, Baziqiao Road near the health school.
Chen Qi was carrying a big cloth bag, wearing a pair of grass-green oversized trousers, a white shirt, and a pair of liberation shoes on his feet, walking on the road like this.
This outfit looks so out of place with other students around.
He took the train to the urban area, and then it was about 3 kilometers from the train station to the medical school, so there was no bus, and he relied on his own No. 11 bus.
The health school students who passed by him were all brought by their parents on their own bikes, their faces filled with the joy of the start of school, and a few students came by themselves on their own bikes, obviously rich or expensive.
He also wears well-fitting clothes and trousers, and the worst is the pull-back sneakers on his feet. Unlike Chen Qi, the clothes and trousers on his body are all left by his father during his lifetime.
Chen Qi is rich, but his character is a poor mountain kid, so he can only keep a low profile.
At this time, a car bell came from behind.
Chen Qi looked back, and saw classmates Jiang Aiguo, Zhang Feng, and Tao Gaojun riding bicycles, chasing up from behind in a chic way, and then braked and stopped beside Chen Qi.
Jiang Aiguo pretended to be very surprised: "Hey, isn't this the big monitor? Why did you come here alone? Shall we help you take it back to school?"
Chen Qi knew that this kid was not a good person, but he still greeted him superficially: "See? The No. 11 bus is healthy and environmentally friendly."
Jiang Aiguo obviously refused to let Chen Qi go:
"Hey, big squad leader, I heard that you sell vegetables in the vegetable market during the summer vacation. How is it? You made a lot of money, right? When will you take our old classmates with you?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Feng and Tao Gaojun next to him both laughed meaningfully.
"Not too much, not too much. If you earn almost 5,000 yuan, you are interested. Next time I will be your upstream wholesaler. How about you doing retail?"
As soon as these words came out, the laughter of Jiang Aiguo and the others became louder. It was obvious that this honest monitor had started to talk too much.
"Okay, then let's wait for the squad leader to make us rich, let's go!"
After finishing speaking, the three of them stepped on the pedals together, and rode towards the health school with their backs. They were still laughing while riding, no need to guess, they must be laughing at Chen Qi, a country bumpkin who sells vegetables.
Chen Qi wasn't annoyed either, he was just a little aggrieved, why didn't anyone believe the truth?
Ding ding jingling, students passed by on bicycles one after another, and they all greeted this class leader Chen, no need to guess, they were all classmates from the city.
In this day and age, whichever student owns a bicycle is equivalent to the students of later generations driving a Ferrari, don't be too cool, and even have the priority right to choose a spouse in school.
But the attractiveness of bicycles is the same thing for Chen Qi.
One is that he has money in his pocket, and he can go to the black market to buy a bicycle ticket at any time, and go to the department store to buy a brand new bicycle. It is not difficult.
He has seen it a long time ago. The Phoenix brand bicycle is 160 yuan, which is always more expensive, 180 yuan.
Another reason is that Chen Qi comes from a generation with a high degree of modernization. Almost all young people have a car for transportation.
What is a bicycle? Once he fills up gas, he can buy a bicycle.
Unfortunately, others don't know how to despise this poor student from the countryside or despise him. He doesn't feel that the clown is himself at all.
By the time Chen Qi reached the gate of the health school, his two buddies, Wang Shannong and Ding Bitao, had already stretched their necks and waited. When they saw him coming from afar, they ran over excitedly to greet him.
"Fuck, why did you come here?"
"That's right, we've been waiting for a long time, and just now we saw Jiang Aiguo and the others ride their bicycles into the school, stupid, what are you proud of?"
Chen Qi also had one hand in each hand, and hugged the two buddies: "You guys came early enough, how are you, did you bring any special products? I've been starving for a long time."
"Bring it with you, early, go to the dormitory, don't let other people see, or everyone will lose everything."
Among the students of the health school, there are circles, and they are clearly divided.
Generally speaking, students who live in the city only play with their classmates in the city. The students from the countryside gather together to play together.
There is no way, the conditions are too different.
For example, on weekends, students in the city will say, let's go to a scenic spot, and we will have dinner later, AA system, how much is the meal ticket for each person.
Students in the city will generally respond positively, asking for money and getting money, and getting tickets.
The children who came out of the countryside can only laugh it off, with empty pockets, and can't go anywhere.
It's been a long time, so naturally we can't play together.
Moreover, urban children still have a strong sense of superiority. In comparison, rural children have a little inferiority complex, which is also true.
Some people may say that not everyone in the city is rich, and the author is too absolute.
One characteristic of the 1980s was that the system was very independent and exclusive.
For example, some large state-owned enterprises are their own independent kingdoms, with their own hospitals, theaters, schools, bathrooms, etc., and the security department can be used as a police station. Such enterprises are difficult for outsiders to enter.
People's jobs are passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. If there is any good thing, the employees and their families are given priority.
The same goes for the health system. The leaders of the health system, the children of doctors in major hospitals, and medical schools have special care.
For example, in the health school exam, Chen Qi was the first in the total score of the 12 commune junior high schools in the entire Keqiao District, so he got his turn, because there is only one place in the health school assigned to Keqiao District.
But the parents are in the health system, especially those with certain positions. As long as their children's grades are not too bad, they can generally take care of them and enter the health school.
Rural children are thousands of troops, and they have gone through hardships to break through the single-plank bridge, but they don't know that some people are born on the road leading to Rome.
The same situation is also true in other systems
For example, the children of the agricultural system like to go to "agricultural schools", the children of the education system gather together in "teachers", the children of the financial, taxation and business systems generally choose "financial schools", and so on.
After graduation, these people have family members to take care of them, so they are given priority in job assignment, and they are given priority in job assignment after entering the unit.
Waiting to work for a few years, in the eyes of rural people, it is difficult to "promote the cadres", and these junior soldiers are also the priority.
So let's take the current situation of health school students as an example. The students from the countryside are admitted based on their real skills, but there are no rich families in the whole countryside, so the rural students are just as poor.
The urban residents who can enter the health school are mostly children of the health system, especially the children of the system. The economic conditions of this group of students are not to mention particularly superior, at least they are far ahead of rural students.
It is not uncommon to have a bicycle.
