"Hey, okay," the young man finally came to his senses.

Quickly took the money from Jiang Xiaobai's hand, and took out a handful of crumpled ten-cent notes from his pocket, preparing to give Jiang Xiaobai some change.

"Okay, you don't need to look for the remaining 30 cents. You can find two quilts, and we will go to the side to chat."

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hands and said, he had already walked towards a cool place beside him.

The tall young man froze on the spot, what does it mean that there is no need to change the remaining thirty cents?

He felt that he had heard it wrong, and really wanted to catch up with Jiang Xiaobai and ask Jiang Xiaobai if he just gave him the thirty cents.

Is this a reward for yourself? I have long heard that there are rewards for those who pull carts, but do you also get rewards for being a beer dealer?

After a moment of stunned, he quickly reacted.

"Aunt Liu lent you two cups and a stool, thank you."

The young man rushed to the small restaurant in the alley to get the quilt and stool, and rushed out again after finishing his sentence.

When the director of the restaurant heard the voice raised his head, there was no one there.

But the owner of the restaurant didn't care too much. Although this young man was in a hurry, he ate at his restaurant every day.

After a while, I became familiar with each other. Besides, the stool and cup are not afraid of losing, and they are not worth much.

"Come on, buddy, sit down." As soon as Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the place, the young man came over and put the stool on the ground and said.

Jiang Xiaobai was not too polite, he was tired all day, and wanted to take a rest for a long time, he hooked his foot on the stool and got under his buttocks, and then sat down on his buttocks.

"Brother, it sounds like your accent is not from our capital city. I'll pour you a glass. You can try our capital's loose beer and cool off the heat. It's too hot today."

The young man said while pouring beer for Jiang Xiaobai.

"Okay, try it." Jiang Xiaobai didn't ask how the young man knew he wasn't from a local.

Every place has its own accent, and it's not surprising that locals can recognize it as soon as they hear it.

"Dude, how long have you been a scalper?"

Jiang Xiaobai took the cup and took a sip, happily.

Of course, it would be better if there is cold beer.

"What cow? Scalper?" The young man looked at Jiang Xiaobai with some doubts, but he didn't understand.

Looking at the bewildered expression of the young man, Jiang Xiaobai remembered that there was no such thing as scalper at this time.

"It's about queuing up to buy beer and selling it to others. How long have you been doing it?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"Oh, I've been working on this for more than two months." The young man also sat down beside him.

"Pour yourself a glass too," Jiang Xiaobai saw that the young man didn't pour it for himself, and he liked him more.

People who know the rules will always make people feel good.

"Okay, thank you then." Seeing Jiang Xiaobai say this, the young man was not polite, and poured himself a glass of beer.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?" Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously. To be honest, he was quite interested in young people.

It would not be surprising if scalpers were placed in later generations.

But now, at the end of the 1970s, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, being able to work as a scalper shows that you really have a certain economic acumen.

"When I came back from the mountains and went to the countryside, I was not assigned a job. I just stayed at home all day and waited to die. My family was annoying to watch, and I was not young anymore, so I had no face to ask my family for money.

I also thought about opening a restaurant or something, but I didn't have the capital. So just do it and earn some pocket money. "

The young man smiled wryly and said, if there is a way, who would want to do this, but it took a while.

But he thinks it is very interesting to do this, he earns a lot of money, and he can work freely.

"Are you an educated youth? Where did you jump in the queue, which class? I am also an educated youth."

Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.

wxya

When the educated youth saw the educated youth, of course there was no tears in their eyes, because in this day and age, there are educated youth everywhere.

However, having had the same experience made the distance between the two of them suddenly narrow.

Jiang Xiaobai also knew the young man's name, Zhou Guomin.

"After you returned home, didn't the street arrange work?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"The street arranged to come here. So many educated youths have returned to their hometowns. We have gone to the street a few times, and the street will let them wait. But how long have you been waiting?"

Zhou Guomin shook his head and said, in fact, a large part of the reason for the liberalization of individual businesses is because a large number of educated youths have returned to their hometowns, and the state has no way to arrange the work of people like me.

"That's right." Jiang Xiaobai nodded. The army of millions of educated youths simply doesn't have so many job arrangements.

"By the way, buddy, what are you doing now?" Guomin looked at Jiang Xiaobai curiously and asked.

"I should be one of the last batch of educated youths. I just jumped into the queue and caught up with the resumption of the college entrance examination. I didn't pass the entrance examination last year, but I passed the entrance examination this year. Now I am studying at Beijing Normal University."

As Jiang Xiaobai said, Zhou Guomin showed an envious look on his face.

College students are equated with state cadres.

What's more, students of Beijing Normal University, as long as they don't offend others in their studies, can be assigned a particularly good work unit.

It has a bright future. If one is at the exciting point, not to mention other things in the future, as the director of the national ministries and commissions, there is no problem.

And he is different, is a vagrant.

"When we jumped in the queue, no one thought that the college entrance examination could be resumed. Those who could find a way were looking for connections to return to the city, and those who had no way were working honestly in the countryside. They couldn't eat enough, so they didn't have the heart to study.

There are even some people who got married and had children directly in the countryside. When they returned to the city this year, those who got married were hiding from the organization and leaving their wives and children in the village..."

When Zhou Guomin said it, he also looked sad.

"Yeah, it's really not easy." Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, there were a lot of movies and TV dramas about educated youth in the previous life, but most of them showed the romantic side.

But only when you are born in this era and experience it yourself, you will understand that romance is a fart.

The mouse feces in the corn porridge, the pebbles can get stuck in your throat, but even this is not enough to eat, and it is romantic.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, are you familiar with this area?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"Familiar, my family is in this area. I have lived here since I was a child. I can find every alley with my eyes closed. Do you think I am familiar with it?"

Zhou Minguo said with a smile.

"How much money can you earn a day doing this?" Jiang Xiaobai continued to ask.

"Not necessarily, sometimes one yuan a day, if the weather is very hot, you can earn about one yuan and five dollars.

I do this job, and that is also dependent on the sky. "Zhou Minguo said, poking the dead skin on his body, and said with a self-deprecating smile.
