Su Tong had no idea what was happening at home and was still a good student at school. His classmates came from all over the world. The youngest was only seventeen years old and the oldest was in his thirties. Some even had two children in their hometown.

Su Tong is 22 years old this year. He just started college when others graduated from college. Students have to get up around five or six o'clock to study, and are even more competitive than high school students. However, everyone here is very motivated. Everyone has a rage in their hearts, as if they want to make up for all the missed studies over the years.

"Su Tong, your English pronunciation is so standard." One of the female classmates was very envious. Although they also learned English, most of them learned dumb English.

Su Tong picked up the book and taught them phonetic symbols first, because only by learning the correct phonetic symbols could they read them accurately.

“Our teacher never taught us to read phonetic symbols before, he only taught us 26 letters, and the rest we had to guess.

I am practicing English every day with English tapes, and I don’t know when I can learn to be as good as you.” The classmate said enviously.

Su Tong smiled and said that he had been learning English since elementary school. He even went abroad with his parents when he was less than ten years old. After the college entrance examination, he went to Europe for a while. His English had become almost the same as his mother tongue, and it was even his second language.

However, in the current atmosphere, studying abroad is a luxury. I even began to doubt whether the major I studied is useful. Although it is a good time for the country to develop its economy, it will take at least ten years before real development. Can I wait for ten years?

After the exam, most of the classmates went home. Su Tong had nowhere else to go, so he stayed in school, helping the teacher with some chores. When he had nothing to do, he rode his bike around the streets.

Su Tong also bought a bicycle. Since she didn't have a bicycle ticket, she could only buy a second-hand one, which cost her a lot of money. Fortunately, she made the money back very quickly. She wanted to buy a house of her own in this city, but the house price is very high, so she is currently on the sidelines.

Su Tong spends most of his time hanging out in the school library and part of his time visiting various tourist attractions, as if he wants to make up for what he has missed over the years.

Su Tong exchanged a lot of food coupons and began to taste the food in various restaurants. Although the food of that era was pure natural, green and pollution-free, the waiters had bad tempers.

Spring went and autumn came, and another year passed in the blink of an eye. Although Su Tong's grades were not the best in the school, they were still top-notch and he left a good impression on his teachers.

In the second half of the year, many students were worried because according to regulations they had to be assigned to different units. Although it was called an internship, it was actually a serious job and they would stay in their original units after graduation.

"Su Tong, we all want to return to our hometown, what about you?" several other classmates asked enthusiastically.

Su Tong wanted to stay here, but the economic environment here was not very good, so she planned to go to Shanghai.

"Ah? Then we will be far apart?" A female classmate sighed softly, "It will probably be difficult for us to meet again in the future."

In the past, transportation was slow and some people could only see each other once in their lifetime. Although we now have telephones, telegraphs, and even letters and trains, transportation is still very backward and cannot compare with modern high-speed trains and airplanes.

"It's okay. As long as we are willing, we will meet each other." Everyone is a leader in the industry. Although they are assigned to different units, they will meet at the top one day.

When the teacher learned that Su Tong was going to Shanghai, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. "I originally wanted to assign you to a unit in this city so that I could take care of you. Although the economic conditions in Shanghai are good, you are unfamiliar with the place and might be wronged if you go there..."

Although the teacher didn't know what had happened in Su Tong's family, the student had never returned home during either summer or winter vacation in the past few years, which showed that something big had really happened at home.

The teacher also felt sorry for this sensible and good student and was willing to give him some help. He was even prepared to say hello to his former friend and let his student join his friend's unit. Although he might not become rich, at least he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Su Tong still refused. He had no way to apply what he had learned here. Although the teacher was sad, he still recommended an excellent unit to the school. At least Su Tong would be a cadre after he went there, and the unit would directly assign a dormitory to him.

The company really values me as a college student. The dormitory I was assigned is one room per household, and it also has a bathroom. Although it is a bit old, the decoration is quite exquisite. It should be a house renovated by a wealthy family in the last century.

Su Tong cleaned his small room. Fortunately, he had a portable space. Although there was nothing valuable in it, it could be used as a storage box and could save him a lot of effort.

Su Tong lived a very happy life outside, but the people in his hometown were just average. They thought the fourth and fifth children would be able to get into university, but the two children took the exam three times and failed every time. The eldest sister-in-law was not happy about this. She had supported them so many times, but the two still failed to pass the exam, which meant that they had no ability and should find a job as soon as possible.

"The fourth child is a grown-up boy now. Most young men of this age would have married and had children, but he has been staying at home all the time. He says he is reviewing, but he is out all day hanging out with his bad friends. It's impossible for a man like him to pass the exam."

Thinking about the injustice she had suffered over the years, the eldest sister-in-law burst into tears and said, "I have done my best as a sister-in-law. When they asked me to support my two children to repeat their studies, no matter how reluctant I was, I at least paid for it.

But after repeating a grade for several years, I didn't see any achievements from them. Even if they failed to get into university, they could have gotten into a technical secondary school. But in the end, they didn't even get into a technical secondary school.

Grandma and dad, the fourth and fifth children are really not cut out for studying, so don't let them repeat a grade today. Just find a job and do it honestly. I happen to have a distant relative who works in a lumber mill, so you can let the fourth child go there to work. Although the work is tiring, the salary is quite good.

Lao Wu should go to work as a temporary worker in a restaurant. Although the salary is a little less, at least he will have enough food and clothing. In the future, he can find a way to learn a skill, and his life will get better and better. "

Old Man Su puffed hard on his pipe, his wrinkled face full of worry, wondering why the third child could get into college, but the fourth and fifth children couldn't? You know, the third child was still in the countryside.

The environment there was quite harsh, and they couldn't even get enough food, but they still managed to pass the exam, and their family had no worries about food and drink, and they even lived in the city. As a result, these two children...

Gao Cuifang was so angry that she stamped her feet in the room, "The old man said at the beginning that he wanted to take the third child back, but you refused to do so. He also said that the fourth and fifth children would definitely pass the exam, but so many years have passed, and our family still hasn't produced a golden phoenix.

The third child must have graduated long ago, and may have become a leader in the company.

Alas, if only we had recognized the third brother earlier, we wouldn't be left with nothing like now. No, we have to find out where the third brother went. We can't let the meat in our mouths disappear like this."
