Chapter 41: Admission into Classes
There were only two people in the office, but they could not read the materials with peace of mind. Zhang Ke teased Xu Si without saying that the recruitment advertisement was reported yesterday, and the consultation phone rang continuously today. Zhang Ke asked Xu Si to take the call and ask the applicant to submit his resume to the office first, and then arrange the interview uniformly after the screening. During this period, no individual applicants will be accepted.
This recruitment process becomes normal after four or five years. However, in 1994, when talent exchange was not yet relaxed, college students and technical secondary school students were assigned jobs uniformly by the state. This recruitment process seemed quite formal in Haizhou at least.
When the sunset hung on the eaves of the bell tower, Xu Si couldn't help but stretched as she looked at the rays of light outside the glass curtain wall. Although she felt unreal and was still confused about her future life, she had no uneasy place to sit in this quiet office with Zhang Ke. Back to Zhang Ke, who was almost spread on the desk, he was concentrating on translating English information about digital communications. The golden sunset shone on his face. Only then did he realize that his thin face was clearly distinguished, with a firm expression that a boy did not have, and a tall figure. He was actually a full-blown boy.
"Do you want to go to my house for dinner?" Xu Si walked to Zhang Ke and looked at the neat running script on the letter paper, which had the strength and calmness that ordinary young people did not have.
Zhang Ke looked up at Xu Si. Since she was wearing old-fashioned clothes and black tortoiseshell-framed glasses, at least in her heart, she could not cut her a little bit of her value. She smiled: "If Uncle Xu is not prepared for anything, then I will go..." He reached into his pocket and took out two banknotes, "I still have twenty dollars here, why don't we buy vegetables and go to your house."
"Then you might as well not go. How can you pay for groceries?" Xu Si pushed him and turned around. The family was in debt. In order to pay off the debt, Zhang Ke's understanding made Xu Si feel sad for the embarrassment at home.
"Sister Xu Si..."
"Um."
Seeing that Xu Si did not turn around, Zhang Ke called out again: "Sister Xu Si, you will get better soon."
Xu Siqing let out a sigh of relief, as if she wanted to exhale all the depression in her heart.
Before deciding to go to Xu Si's house for dinner, Zhang Ke hung up the phone. Hearing his mother's tone on the phone, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with his behavior of returning home during the three days of holiday. Zhang Ke put down the phone in a creepy manner and said to Xu Si: "My mother's tone is not good, so she has to go back and be careful..."
Seeing him pretending to be frightened, Xu Si burst out laughing: "Are you afraid of your mother?"
"If there is no one to be respected, life is boring. I am afraid of my mother now, and maybe I will be afraid of you in the future."
"I'm afraid of me, what I'm afraid of..." Xu Si suddenly stopped talking and blushed, and reached out to pinch Zhang Ke, "You don't forget to take advantage of me."

When I rushed home, I saw my mother's displeasure. Before she got angry, Zhang Ke hurriedly said, "Oh, I'm so tired. Sister Wanqing helped me find the English tutoring teacher. It's too strict. I'll let me translate such difficult information..." I took out the English information I took home to translate and handed it to my mother, "How can junior high school students translate this?"
"Go to tutor in English?" Liang Gezhen looked depressed. His son had no one on three days off. When his anger accumulated so much that he could scold him hard, he couldn't vent his anger. Seeing that the note in the information was full of Chinese characters, "Why didn't you hear you last night? Why did Zhitong's mother suddenly help you find an English teacher?"
"The English teacher is a friend of Sister Wan Qing. I mentioned to Sister Wan Qing that English is a few points worse than Tang Jing in the middle school entrance examination. Therefore, Tang Jing's first in the Xicheng District of the middle school entrance examination, and I am third in the third. Sister Wan Qing said that English is very important, and it is impossible to learn well. She also wants to send me abroad to study after I graduated from high school. Now we have to lay a solid foundation."
Liang Gezhen believed Zhang Ke’s nonsense and said with a smile, “How can she bother? No matter whether she can go abroad or not, she must learn English well.” She is also very concerned about Zhang Ke’s going abroad. Now, it has become a very popular thing for cadres and children to go abroad, and their age is getting younger and younger. If your children don’t go abroad to study, Jian Zhi can’t hold his head up in the circle.
Zhang Ke thought to ask Sister Wanqing when she called Zhitong in the evening so that she would not let her say anything. She put her bag on the corner cabinet and would go to the kitchen to see what she had to eat.
"Xiao Ke, Tang Jing called you five or six times, and came here to wait for you for an hour. She had been looking for you for a day. Did you call her back?"
"Ah?" Zhang Keyan turned around, "She didn't say anything?"
"Will the school announce the list of liberal arts and science classes today? Tang Jing asked you to go back to school to see the list, but you were not seen. Do you know what class you were divided into?"
"Oh, forget about this," Zhang Ke said that forgetting was just a talk, but there was no need to rush back to school to see it specifically. Besides, the school will be officially opened tomorrow, and you will know the result. If you don't like it, you'll just apply for the class again, "Just ask Tang Jing."
Zhang Ke picked up the phone on the corner cabinet and called Tang Jing back. The girl didn't catch her for a day, and maybe she was losing her temper. It seemed that she remembered that when she was on the phone the night before yesterday, Tang Jing said she wanted to go back to school to see the list of classes. She didn't agree. The phone just rang "beep" and people raised it.
"Zhang Ke, I've been looking for you for a day. Do you know what shift you are divided into?" Tang Jing said impatiently on the other end of the phone.
"How many shifts are you?"
"Ten Classes."
"Then I'm also in class ten."
"Hey, how did you know?" Tang Jing felt a little incredible on the other end of the phone, and then he thought of the reason, "Ah, I told Du Fei that he would not tell you."
"I haven't spoken to him yet, I guess."
"Why did you guess again?" Tang Jing asked in surprise.
"What's hard to guess about this? I also know that Du Fei is also in Class 10. You are Mayor Tang's daughter, Du Fei is Secretary Du's son, and I am Secretary Zhang's son. All three of us choose liberal arts, so naturally we all enter the liberal arts class with the best quality of teaching..." Speaking of this, Zhang Ke felt a little nervous. He guessed that he would be assigned to Class 10. In fact, he heard it from Tang Jing's uncontrollable tone, and then he thought that the school would have such considerations. Before the life reading, Zhang Ke and Tang Jing were assigned to Class 12, which was mostly bargaining students. Although the two were front and back desks, Tang Jing did not say a word to herself until she graduated from high school and went abroad. She didn't even look at herself directly. She also started a life of another personality from then on. She had to calculate it carefully. It was really sad that she saw Tang Jing again after eleven years.
"Hey, Zhang Ke, you're still listening..."
"Oh, listening," Zhang Ke withdrew his thoughts, "If you have anything to say tomorrow, I will be in the same class in the future..."
Zhang Ke did not call Du Fei. In order to avoid his son Du Xiaoshan's constraints, this kid chose to stay. He should be hanging out in the dormitory now.
