Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1110: Don’t be nice to ungrateful people
The Zhuang family had a boring New Year. Grandma Zhuang fell ill and was hospitalized, so Second Aunt had to take care of her. As a result, the five men in the family glared at each other.

Mr. Zhuang has never done housework since he got married. Zhuang Ganmei was spoiled since she was a child and she doesn't even know how to make a fire. As for the two brothers Zhendong and Zhenbei, they only know how to eat.

There was no other choice, so Zhuang Chaoying had to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

However, Zhuang Chaoying's cooking skills are only limited to cooking vegetables. The food she makes is really hard to swallow, and Mr. Zhuang thinks she is wasting good things.

And it was indeed a prosperous year in the courtyard. Song Ying looked very wealthy. In addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, she also brought all kinds of snacks into the house as if they were free. Lin Dongzhe even suspected that she had picked up money.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Jianguo's family came to visit and, for the first time ever, gave Lin Dongzhe and his family a "big red envelope" of two yuan. After they finished their tea and sat down to chat, Song Ying and Huang Ling suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that Xiao Min and Wu Shanshan would graduate in half a year. Xiao Min was a technical secondary school student majoring in textiles and would soon enter a cotton mill for internship.

Song Ying and Huang Ling are the team leaders of workshop one and workshop two respectively.

"Then please take care of Xiao Min during her internship." Zhang A-mei was all smiles.

Song Ying and Huang Ling looked at each other and said, "Hey, they are all our own children, don't worry."

Xiao Min half lowered her head and said nothing.

Zhang A-mei patted her in frustration and said, "Why don't you thank Aunt Song and Aunt Huang?"

Xiao Min opened her mouth but was interrupted by Song Ying: "No need to thank me. As a disciple, we will definitely do our best. However, the master leads you to the door and the practice is up to you. What you can learn depends on your understanding."

Zhang A-mei smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Min is actually quite smart..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wu Jianguo's loud shout: "Hey, what are you guys fighting about? You've all been fooled by that villain Duan Tiande."

The Legend of the Condor Heroes was being broadcast on TV, and it happened to show a scene where Qiu Chuji and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were fighting at the Fahua Temple in Jiaxing, and both were injured. As a result, Duan Tiande took the opportunity to capture Mrs. Guo. Wu Jianguo was so angry that he screamed.

Not only him, Lin Dongzhe and Xiang Pengfei were also indignant and wanted to get into the TV to tell Qiu Chuji and the others.

Song Ying and Huang Ling also took the opportunity to ignore Zhang A-mei and turned to look at the TV.

This made Zhang A'mei very angry. She spent a lot of money to give such a big red envelope to ask Song Ying and Huang Ling to do something, but Wu Jianguo yelled at her. In frustration, she pinched Wu Jianguo hard. Wu Jianguo shuddered in pain and almost jumped up on the spot, but when he met Zhang A'mei's resentful eyes, he swallowed the scream back in an instant.

After sitting for a while, Zhang A'mei tried several times to get Song Ying and Huang Ling to make a promise, but Song Ying defused her every move. She could only drag Wu Jianguo and Xiaojun away with her. Xiaomin and Wu Shanshan didn't want to stay any longer, so they followed them out of the yard.

As soon as he left the hospital, Zhang A-mei pinched the soft flesh on Wu Jianguo's waist and said with gritted teeth: "Look, you only know how to watch TV. If you have the ability, why don't you buy one and watch as much as you want at home!"

Wu Jianguo rubbed his waist and muttered, "It's not like my family is broke."

"We used all our savings to buy a TV. What if the cotton mill doesn't pay wages for a few months? Our whole family will be left starving?" Zhang A'mei became even angrier when she heard this and pointed at the courtyard.

"Look at the life of the Lin family. The table is filled with delicious food and the snacks they serve to their guests are all the best. And then look at you. You both have working parents. What kind of life do we live in?!"

Wu Jianguo said aggrievedly: "What can I do? Everyone's salary is about the same. I don't earn less than Song Ying and the others. Haozi has won so many championships, and his prize money is not small. We can't compare."

When it comes to Qin Hao, Zhang A-mei gets even more furious and glares at her daughter Xiao Min: "You've heard what your dad said, right? I told you to get in touch with him more, but you refused. Look, he's already a millionaire before he even graduated from college. If you get together with him..."

"Mom, why are you still dreaming about such unrealistic dreams? I have everything I want, why would you fall for me?" Xiao Min pouted.

"Just like your father, a good-for-nothing." Zhang A'mei said with disappointment.

Wu Shanshan listened silently to Zhang A'mei's nagging, her eyes full of sadness. She hadn't seen Zhuang Tunan for a year. When they met again, although she still greeted him politely, she found that she had nothing to say to Zhuang Tunan anymore. After chatting for a few words, she could realize that the other person's thoughts on the same issue were no longer on the same dimension as hers.

"If I had been able to go to high school and then take the college entrance examination, would my life have been different?"

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Then go home quickly. It's very cold outside."

Not long after Wu Jianguo's family left, Wang Fang from next door came to visit with Zhou Qing, but this time Song Ying and Huang Ling didn't give them a good look.

Lin Dongzhe sneered sarcastically: "Auntie Wang, I see there are a group of hooligans hanging around recently. You have to tell Zhou Qing to be careful."

Wang Fang's face turned pale and blue, and she left with a face full of shame, which made Zhou Qing's face full of reluctance. She saw a lot of snacks on the table that she had never seen before.

Zhuang Xiaoting felt a little bit sorry and wanted to say something, but Qin Hao just shook his head at her.

"Xiao Ting, I know you want to say that Zhou Qing is innocent, but you have to think about it. If something happened to you that day, your mother would go crazy."

"She didn't step forward to chase away those little hooligans. It can be understood that she is timid, but she shouldn't have pretended not to see it. There are so many households in the alley. If she had just shouted, someone would have come forward. But she didn't care about your life or death. We were very kind not to tell anyone and let her have a bad reputation."

Song Ying also added: "Yes, I really didn't expect Wang Fang to be such an ungrateful person. She didn't even think about the fact that if we hadn't given them three square meters of yard to build a house, they wouldn't even have a place to stay now."

"You can't be nice to these ungrateful people."

Huang Ling rubbed Zhuang Xiaoting's hair and said nothing. Even now she still felt a little scared.

"Don't give Zhou Qing the remaining stationery anymore, and don't give her extra lessons anymore. We should stay away from people who don't know how to be grateful, otherwise they will push their luck, just like your grandparents."

Zhuang Xiaoting put down the snacks in her hand and nodded with tears in her eyes.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting had to pick up their textbooks again. The next school day would be the second semester of their sophomore year. There was only a year and a half left until the college entrance examination, so they had to race against time.

Qin Hao and Zhuang Tunan were also busy giving extra lessons to the three of them. Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting were okay, but Xiang Pengfei's teaching really made people's blood pressure soar.

Zhuang Tunan has taught quite a few students, but he has never met another one like Xiang Pengfei.

In the words of Zhuang Tunan: "If this book could be loaded into a bullet, I would like to shoot a gun into your brain."

Qin Hao laughed when he heard this. Xiang Pengfei could make Zhuang Tunan, a good guy, so angry. It was obvious that Xiang Pengfei had no talent in studying at all.

Half a month later, Zhuang Tunan went to Shanghai with Qin Hao, full of resentment. He felt that he could not teach anymore, otherwise he would not have the confidence to be a tutor again.

As we entered the second semester of our junior year, the course load became increasingly heavy and everyone in the class felt unprecedented pressure, except Qin Hao of course.

Li Jia's parents have returned to the Northeast, but Li Wen stayed here to attend junior high school. Li Jia would go over to help him tidy up his room on Sundays. After seeing that his younger brother was able to take care of himself, Li Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is midsummer. After the final exams, the students all breathed a sigh of relief, but then another question began to linger in everyone's mind.

"Ah, time flies so fast. We will graduate next year."

"Yes, we will be in our senior year in two months. To be precise, there is only one semester left. We will have to go to work for internships in the second semester of our senior year."

The topic of allocation units undoubtedly touched everyone's sensitive points, and people were talking about it.

"Do you have any units you like?"

"As for me, I will definitely go home. I will go to whichever unit in my hometown will accept me."

"Wang Yang, what about you? Are you staying in Shanghai or going home?"

"If I can stay in Shanghai, I will definitely stay in Shanghai, but I don't know how many places there are."

Although college students in the 80s were said to be the chosen ones, in reality they were not assigned jobs as they wished, because every unit was short of talent, the whole country. If one was unlucky and was assigned to places like Xinjiang or the Northwest, it would be a real hardship.

"Li Jia, what about you?"

A female classmate next to her touched Li Jia's arm with her elbow.

Li Jia was slightly startled, and then said in an extremely firm tone: "I want to stay in Shanghai."

The female classmate nodded when she heard this, and then asked Qin Hao in a joking tone: "Then, our Go champion should also stay in Shanghai?"

The students around him immediately started to make a noise.

Li Jia's face turned red, and she could only protest quietly: "Whether he stays in Shanghai or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Just when the classroom was in chaos, the head teacher walked in.

"You seem to be chatting lively. Can you tell me what you are talking about?"

If the teacher said this in junior high school or high school, it is obviously trying to tell the students to shut up, but in college, it means the teacher really wants to talk to you.

After listening to the speeches of the classmates, the head teacher nodded.

"Regarding the graduation assignment, I also have something to talk to you about."

"If nothing unexpected happens, after the next semester starts, companies will come to the school to recruit people, and the school will also arrange some communication meetings..."

Real talents have to be snatched up, and this was especially true in the 80s. Units would often pick people in advance, sign contracts with them, and then wait for college graduates to graduate. Of course, some people with poor professional abilities would end up being randomly assigned in the end, and basically, the units they were assigned to would not be good ones.

The head teacher spent an entire class explaining the things that need to be paid attention to when assigning units. The students were no longer so confused, and after the last day of classes, everyone went their separate ways.

Downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Qin Hao walked up to take Li Jia's suitcase as if no one was around.

"Do you have any favorite company?" Li Jia asked expectantly.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "That depends on which unit you want to go to."

"Hate it. I'm serious with you." Li Jia said angrily.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Qin Hao spread his hands.

Li Jia pursed her lips and said, "I want to join the Planning Bureau, but I heard that there is only one quota in our department."

"What if I squeeze you out?"

"Humph, I'm also among the best in professional courses. How about a competition?"

"Forget it then. If you lose and cry, I won't be able to comfort you."

"Who asked you to coax me? Don't look down on others."

……

On the train back to Suzhou, Qin Hao saw Zhuang Tunan looking worried and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Haozi, do you think it's better to continue to take the postgraduate entrance examination or to find a job after graduation?"

Qin Hao shook his head: "Since you ask this, you must want to continue your postgraduate studies."

"I feel that four years is too short. I still have a lot of knowledge that I don't understand..."

Before Zhuang Tunan could finish his words, Qin Hao interrupted impatiently: "So, what are you struggling with?"

"If I go to graduate school, it means I have to continue studying for three more years. Xiaoting will also go to college soon, and all the burdens of the family will fall on my mother. Don't you think I am too selfish?" Zhuang Tunan said quietly.

Although college students receive living allowances, it is only enough for food. Other living expenses must be paid for by their families.

"You need to go back and discuss this with Aunt Huang. I can't give you any advice."

After returning to the courtyard, Zhuang Tunan told Huang Ling his thoughts, and Huang Ling immediately expressed her opinion.

"Since you want to continue your studies, then go ahead and study. Don't worry about tuition and living expenses. Mom can support you. If things don't work out, Song Ying can support me a little. I'll pay you back slowly after you all get jobs in a few years. Anyway, Song Ying won't be embarrassed to ask me for interest."

Zhuang Tunan looked at his mother's tearful eyes and his eyes also filled with tears.

Just as the mother and son were hugging and crying, Zhuang Xiaoting's joyful voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"dad."

After wiping away their tears, Zhuang Tunan and Huang Ling looked outside and found that Zhuang Chaoying was being pulled into the courtyard by Zhuang Xiaoting.

"You go out and see what your father wants to do. I won't go out."

"Ah."

Zhuang Tunan walked out of the house and called out to Zhuang Chaoying calmly, "Dad."

"Tunan, you're back."

Zhuang Xiaoting moved two chairs out from the inner room and asked Zhuang Chaoying to sit down.

Zhuang Chaoying first chatted with Zhuang Tunan about some family matters, and when they were almost finishing a cup of tea, he suddenly said something.

"Tunan, you're going to graduate next year, do you have any company you're interested in?"
