In order to welcome Xiang Pengfei, Huang Ling cooked a table of food and invited Song Ying's family.

On the dining table, Xiang Pengfei vividly talked about the changes in Guizhou in the past two years.

"Pengfei, it's already the end of July. What was your mother planning? If you repeat the exam, I'll ask Tunan to ask your uncle to make arrangements for you." Huang Ling's words made Xiang Pengfei fall into petrochemicals.

Zhuang Tunan patted Xiang Pengfei on the shoulder: "Your college entrance examination score is a little worse, but if you work hard for another year, it should be fine to increase by 50. I looked at the admission score line in Jiangsu over the years. If you increase by 50, you can get through the exam."

"Brother Toonan, auntie, don't bother me. I'm not the kind of material for studying. You have seen it. During the college entrance examination, I really tried my best. I may not be able to pass the exam for another year. I don't want my dad to risk the sun to carry a big pickaxe to earn overtime for me. I'm eighteen years old, and I want to earn money to support myself."

Zhuang Xiaoting said carefully: "Brother Pengfei, high school students are not allowed to be assigned."

"I know, but I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. As long as I can earn money to support myself, I am willing to do it and I will definitely find a job. When I get my salary in the future, I can still buy you gifts." Xiang Pengfei pretended to be calm.

Huang Ling asked calmly: "What did your mother say?"

Xiang Pengfei lowered his head at once. He knew his mother's expectations for him, but he didn't want to waste time anymore, and he didn't want to continue to trouble Huang Ling. In order to take care of two high school graduates in his family, Huang Ling worked hard and fell ill as soon as the college entrance examination was taken. In the past few years in Suzhou, Huang Ling had never treated him as an outsider. He ate whatever Zhuang Xiaoting ate, and he had long regarded Huang Ling as his family. If he couldn't pass the exam for one year, his mother would definitely want him to continue to repeat the exam for the second year. He could not be so selfish.

"Pengfei, if you really don't plan to repeat the school, I'll find you a job, with a basic salary of 50, no food and accommodation, and a commission based on sales performance. If you work well, you might be able to buy a house in Suzhou in two or three years and bring your parents back."

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Xiang Pengfei couldn't wait to say, "Do it, Brother Hao, I will do it, let alone have a basic salary or not, I will do it too."

Huang Ling said with some concern: "Haozi, I know you want to help Pengfei, but one code is the same. Can Pengfei be competent for this job?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Aunt Huang, don't worry about this. The sales position does not depend on academic qualifications, regardless of background, everything depends on performance. Many salesmen of BBK have not even graduated from junior high school, and they still receive a sales commission of thousands of yuan a month. Pengfei is also a high school student and clever. I will find an old salesperson to take him with him, so there will be no problem."

"I may have to go on business trips in the future, so is that okay?"

Xiang Pengfei made a statement without hesitation: "No problem."

"Then I'll make an appointment for you when I look back. Don't be able to stand the hardship after a few days."

Xiang Pengfei immediately patted his chest: "No problem, Brother Hao, I can endure hardships, I will definitely study hard and I will not embarrass you."

That night, Xiang Pengfei was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. When he thought that he could make money to support him, he couldn't stop being excited. At the same time, he was worried that he would encounter problems at work, which would embarrass Qin Hao.

After a few years of development, Qin Hao took Xiang Pengfei to the branch of Shanghai Bubugao. After several years of development, "Bubugao" has become a leading enterprise in the domestic recorder industry. Especially the "Bubugao Repeater" launched last year has used the proportion of English scores in the college entrance examination in recent years, and its annual sales have increased by five times.

"Manager Xiao, this is Xiang Pengfei. My little brother just graduated from high school and left it to you. You can find an old salesman for him to take care of him."

Manager Xiao smiled all over his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely find him a good master."

After saying that, he made a phone call, and not long after, a man with a Wenzhou accent knocked in the door and came in.

"Old Han, this is Mr. Qin's little brother. Isn't your team just short of personal skills? You can take him more."

"Don't worry, Manager Xiao, I will definitely take good care of you."

Qin Hao rushed to Pengfei, who knew how to follow Lao Han and left the office.

Along the way, Old Han always looked smiling. He touched Xiang Pengfei's situation in just a few words. He only came back to his senses after Xiang Pengfei completed the induction procedures. He couldn't help but admire his master a little more.

As soon as Xiang Pengfei put his luggage into the company dormitory, he was called out by Lao Han.

"Carry it out and go on a business trip with me in the northeast in the afternoon."

"Northeast?" Xiang Pengfei was stunned for a moment.

Old Han smiled and said, "Don't be happy? Then I'll tell Manager Xiao that someone else will take you."

"No, Master, I'm happy. I haven't been to the Northeast yet. If you bring me more knowledge, how can I not be happy?"

"Not bad, I'm smart. Go back and pack your luggage. Get together at the train station at three o'clock, and it's not time to wait."

In this way, Xiang Pengfei had no time to call Huang Ling to report his safety, and followed Lao Han on the train heading north.

At the end of August, Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan took Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting on the train to Shanghai. Before leaving, Song Ying and Huang Ling endured their grief and waited until the train slowly left the platform. The two mothers suddenly collapsed and cried.

Lin Wufeng was about to take Song Ying into his arms to comfort her, but Song Ying hugged Huang Ling and cried bitterly.

Lin Wufeng couldn't help but be a little jealous.

In the evening, Song Ying prepared the meal and called Huang Ling over to eat. Looking at the deserted dining table, Lin Wufeng smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "From today on, we will be left-behind parents."

As a result, Huang Ling collapsed and cried again. Song Ying glared at Lin Wufeng fiercely while comforting her.

On the other hand, after Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting successfully completed their enrollment registration, they couldn't wait to see Zhuang Tunan and Qin Hao away, officially starting their college days.

Because the Ming Dynasty of Jiaotong University prohibits college students from falling in love, Lin Dongzhe lied that he was Zhuang Xiaoting's distant cousin. The two of them were tired of going to school and after school every day. Sometimes Lin Dongzhe even went to Zhuang Xiaoting's professional courses.

Since Zhuang Tunan has started a new round of "monster fighting upgrades", graduate students are different from college students and need to work with their supervisors. In fact, they are similar to work, so naturally they don't have time to care about Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting.

Qin Hao's side "airborne" to the Planning Bureau. On that day, Li Jia had just arrived at the unit and had not sat in her butt, and she listened to the gossip of the elder sister in the next seat.

"I heard that we are going to have a new colleague today."

An older sister next to me held her glasses and said, "New colleague? I haven't heard that our department is still short of people. Where did you get the news?"

Before the two finished speaking, they saw the office director walking in with a young man.

"Everyone has everything in hand. Let me introduce it to us. This is our new colleague, Qin Hao, and a top student at Tongji University. They are taking care of each other and are not allowed to bully others."

The eldest sister next door clapped and whispered to Li Jia: "I remember Xiao Li, you are from Tongji, are you? Do you know each other?"

"Ah, I know you, classmates." Li Jia was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses.

"Yes, that's really fate. You guys are..."

Li Jia hesitated for a moment, and the eldest sister next door couldn't wait to say, "The young man is tall and handsome, with a high education, and he is quite compatible with my niece. I'll find a chance to match them."

"He is my boyfriend."

"Ah? Sorry, Xiao Li, I don't know, but your boyfriend's conditions are so good, you have to take good care of it and try to get things done earlier. I'm waiting for your wedding banquet."

It just so happened that there was only one empty space left next to Li Jia in the entire office.

Seeing Qin Hao walking towards him, Li Jia was a little dazed for a moment.

"How is it? I said I'll join the Planning Bureau."

"How did you do it?"

"I? I recommend myself. How can the city leaders refuse to refuse a promising young man like me who does not seek fame and fortune and who only wants to contribute to the development of Shanghai?"

The response to him was a pair of big eyes from Li Jiafei: "The first time I heard someone tell the back door so fresh and refined."

At this time, the Planning Bureau was still a Qingshui Yamen, and it would not be busy until the Pudong development three years later.

Qin Hao and Li Jia’s daily routine at work is to pour a cup of hot tea at work, take a newspaper, and then wait for the time being to get off work.

However, in this way, Qin Hao and Li Jia also had more dates, and others were unwilling to go out for the field, so they were taken over by them. Over time, everyone in the office knew that they were a couple and were happy to create opportunities for them.

Perhaps because he had seen Qin Hao's "hot products", or perhaps because he had no regulations that explicitly prohibited love in college, Qin Hao finally got what he wanted to completely take down Li Jia on New Year's Eve in 1988.

However, just as Qin Hao and Li Jia were discussing preparing for the wedding, a large-scale hepatitis A infection suddenly broke out in Shanghai. The number of infections in the 13 million metropolis was as high as 290,000, which suddenly became the focus of the country and made Shanghai synonymous with the virus.

According to the data statistics on the news, Shanghai has the lastest per capita road area in the country, with an average living area of ​​less than 6 square meters. The whole country was shocked. No one expected that the seemingly glamorous Shanghai would be so crowded.

Due to the attention of leaders at all levels, the Planning Bureau began to become busy. However, after years of development in Puxi, there is not much land that can be developed, and the key is that there is no money. The Planning Bureau can only make some improvement plans.

As top students who graduated from Tongji University, this job fell on Qin Hao and Li Jia. This was the first time they have received a major-related job in half a year.

However, after working for half a month, I handed over a lot of plans, but I didn’t approve them in the end. The reason was very simple, but I still had no money.

"How is it? Have you felt the gap between ideals and reality?" Qin Hao secretly joked.

Li Jia sighed: "If this continues, I will almost return everything I learned in professional courses to the teachers."

"Why should we quit and change to a professional job?"

Li Jia didn't say anything anymore. Although the salary of the Planning Bureau was not high, she had the advantage of stability. After those years of living under others' housing, a stable job could bring her enough sense of security.

In a blink of an eye, the Planning Bureau began to take the annual leave. Grandpa Li Jia called her and told her not to go back, saying that the house was too small and she was afraid that she would be infected with hepatitis A.

As early as the early stage of the hepatitis A outbreak, Li Jia's younger brother Li Wen was called to the Northeast by his parents. This year they celebrated the New Year in Northeast China.

"It's too dangerous for you to stay in Shanghai alone. Why not go back to Suzhou with me?"

This time Li Jia did not refuse. After hesitating for a moment, she agreed. After all, she had a factual relationship with Qin Hao and was going to get married.

Zhuang Tunan and Lin Dongzhe had already returned to Suzhou after school holidays. When Qin Hao and Li Jia returned to Suzhou, they went to the station to pick up the station.

"Sister Li Jia, when can we drink your wedding banquet with Brother Hao?" Lin Dongzhe keenly discovered that Qin Hao naturally took Li Jia's hand when he left the station, and Li Jia had no intention of breaking free.

Li Jia looked at Qin Hao with a smile: "Have you ever beat Lin Dongzhe?"

"I beaten up when I was a kid."

"Then let him relive the happy childhood."

"Brother Hao, please spare me, Sister Jia Jia, I will never dare to do it again."

The group was amused by Lin Dongzhe's jumping up and down to avoid him, and even Zhuang Xiaoting smiled kindly.

When I returned to the cotton spinning factory's family alley, no one greeted Qin Hao and the others again this time. When I saw them, I hid far away like I was hiding from the plague god.

Lin Dongzhe said depressedly: "No one will come to our house to pay New Year's greetings this year. I feel like they are watching Hepatitis A viruses."

"It's normal for people to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. We'll hide back to Suzhou early." After Qin Hao said that, he took Li Jia's hand and entered the courtyard.

Song Ying did not hesitate at all and gave Qin Hao a big hug, then enthusiastically pulled Li Jia into the house.

After chatting for a while, Song Ying saw that it was about to go to cook, so she was ready to cook. Li Jia also followed her over to help her.

Taking advantage of Li Jia's absence, the extinguished gossip fire of Lin Dongzhe was ignited again: "Brother Hao, when did you and Sister Jia Jia determine their relationship?"
