Chapter 16-Leaving School
"The army has a few helicopters. I can lend them to you.”Lin Tonghe said.
"The army?" Lin Yi was shocked.”
He felt that he had planned to use a helicopter. Aerial videos were already far ahead of the times. Who knew that his grandfather had already set his sights on military aircraft?
"How refreshing. You don't need the army. I'll go there and find a helicopter for you.”Lin Tonghe rolled his eyes.
"If you're from the army, then forget it. I'll get someone to take a photo. It's not worth it for you to stick your face on this matter.”Lin Yi shook his head.
"They don't stick to their faces either. They have a clear price tag. It's 3,000 yuan a day.”Lin Tonghe said.
"So cheap?" Lin Yi was shocked.
In the future, when a friend got married, they would rent a helicopter. Moreover, it was the smallest type, the four-seater version. A wedding would cost 50,000 yuan.
This was a military aircraft, and it was definitely not a small thing. It only cost 5,000 yuan. This was too cheap.
"Don't tell me he's doing private work?" Lin Yi said timidly.
Lin Tonghe reached out and knocked on Lin Yi's head." What are you thinking about? As a veteran, can I take the lead in breaking the rules?" This price had been approved by the political department.”
Lin Tonghe's expression darkened.
After a long time, he said faintly,"The higher-ups have difficulties. The military expenditure is not enough, but the troops still need to train. This 5,000 yuan is just to earn money for oil.”
Lin Yi immediately remembered when his grandfather said that.
In 1985, the old man said,""Only when the national economy has a good foundation can the military equipment be truly modern. Therefore, we have to endure for a few years."
Therefore, the army had to endure it. In order to survive, they actually had to do their own business. It was simply sad.
He endured for decades, and it was only after 2010 that he began to hold his head high.
Lin Yi could still remember the director's pained expression.
China was so big, yet it didn't even have an aircraft carrier. Everyone was against it.
These people were really heartless. Did they not know the use of aircraft carriers?
No!
It was just that China was too poor back then, and the military budget was not that high. It was less than 10 billion USD a year. To build an aircraft carrier, the military budget of the entire army had to be spent.
Lin Yi was silent for a long time before he slowly said,"Then give me more. Give me 5,000."
Lin Tonghe nodded." I'll do this in the name of the village. Then, I'll send them a few big fat pigs. It'll be considered supporting the army.”
……
A few days later, at a food stall that Lin Yi and the others frequented.
Lin Yi, Zhang Xuemin, Wu Yongnian, and Su Yunjin were also here.
The five of them sat together, facing the table full of dishes, but the atmosphere seemed a little silent.
"Damn Lin Yi, are you really going to quit school?" Su Yunjin's cheeks were bulging like a goldfish. Obviously, the current Su Yunjin was very angry! Very angry!
"Yes, I want to take a break from school for a while." Lin Yi said slowly.
This was the decision he had made before, and he had also obtained the approval of his grandfather and parents.
There was nothing he could do. Before the arrival of this great era, he had too many things to do. Going to school was undoubtedly a huge obstacle for him. He really did not have time to stay in school.
He was not a genius who could manage a business while attending high school.
He could only choose one side.
"Didn't you say before that it would take some time to sell walnuts? No matter what, there's no need to drop out of school.”Su Yunjin's brows furrowed into a ball, twisting very hard.
"After selling the walnuts, I still have other things to do. I really can't go back to school. However, I'm not giving up on my studies completely. I'll go back to school every once in a while, and I'll take the college entrance examination with you guys. If you can't even pass me, that'll be embarrassing.”Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Hmph, just watch. I'll definitely do better than you when the time comes.”Su Yunjin wrinkled her nose and rolled her eyes.
What kind of joke was this? Lin Yi's results were about the same as hers. If he took another year off and did better than her, she would rather die.
"Brother Yi, Little Yi, we're also dropping out of school.”Zhang Xuemin and Wu Yongnian said in unison.
"What are you two fighting about? I'm confident that I can get into a university, and it's Xinyi's university.”Lin Yi frowned.
After all, he was someone who had studied high school once. He would flip through the books and ask the teacher for advice. If it really didn't work out, he would hire a tutor. As long as he worked hard, he felt that his grades wouldn't be bad.
Moreover, his memory had improved tremendously. He could still remember the essay questions and a few major science questions from back then, especially now that his English results could be said to be the absolute advantage.
After all, he had been running around for so many years and his English skills had been honed.
Therefore, when he said that he might get a higher score than Su Yunjin, he was definitely not joking.
"What's the use of going to school? Besides, the big guy and I don't have good grades. We might as well come out and earn money from you!”Xuemin said.
These days, they could be considered to have tasted the sweetness of earning money. They followed Lin Yi and earned 30,000 yuan in less than a month.
So what if he got into university? He still received a salary of a few hundred yuan a month. It was not even as much as a front-line worker's salary. It was difficult for him to start a family.
"Going to university is useful, very useful." Lin Yi suddenly enunciated each word and said in an extremely serious tone.
In the 1990s, when people were born in the wilderness and could become bosses after graduating from primary school, perhaps education really did not matter.
However, in a few years, it would be very different. The people who earned money were all highly educated talents.
Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu, a post-doctor at MIT.
Li Yan Hong, graduated from Yan University, Master's from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Li Guanfu, PhD in Computer Science, Colombia.
Ma Huateng was almost a graduate of Shen University, a proper undergraduate.
As for Ma Yun, she had it the worst. Like Yu Minhong, she had taken the college entrance examination three times. Moreover, Yu Minhong had been admitted to Yan University, while Ma Yun had only been admitted to Hangzhou Normal University. In fact, she had only scored one point in Mathematics during her first college entrance examination.
However, after entering university, Ma Yun became a good student with excellent moral character and academic performance. She was firmly ranked in the top five of the foreign languages department with her excellent English. After that, Ma Yun was elected as the president of the student union and later served as the president of the Hangzhou Student Union for two terms.
Next, he became an outstanding young teacher in Hangzhou.
Those who spread the rumor that universities were useless were either stupid or bad!
"Xuemin, I really think that if you work hard and get into a university, even if it's just a junior college, it'll change your life.”Lin Yi said sincerely.
Zhang Xuemin thought for a while and nodded,"Brother Yi, I'll listen to you."”
"Then I don't need it. If he works hard, there's still hope, but I don't have any hope at all.”Wu Yongnian said.
Lin Yi rubbed his nose helplessly. Should he praise Wu Yongnian for knowing his own limits? Or should he be scolded for degenerating?
However, Wu Yongnian was speaking the truth.
In her previous life, Wu Yongnian had transferred to a high school when he was in his second year of high school. That was why there was a series of tragedies that followed.
