Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

The two had also discussed this matter. There were many students in the school who had no money. It was enough for the two of them to ensure that they learned the knowledge they wanted to master. As for these resources, let others fight for them. They needed material rewards more.

The instructor took out the award certificate and asked Jiang Yu if he wanted to apply for a scholarship.

Jiang Yu shook his head and refused, took the 50 yuan, signed his name and left.

It rarely snows in the south in winter. Even if the radio reports snow, it may be sleet that disappears as soon as it hits the ground.

As the New Year approached, Jiang Yu sat by the fireplace, watching the raindrops flying outside the window. She was covered with a thin quilt made for her by Yi Chi, and lazily curled up in the recliner, not wanting to move at all.

I thought the temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero in the north were already horrible, but I didn’t expect the cold in the south to penetrate the skin and flesh, making your bones cold.

Jiang Yu felt like she had returned to the cold season of her previous life. She died in such a cold snowy day. She wondered if people would still feel cold after death?

"Pop~" The firewood in the fireplace burst into a few sparks.

Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Yi Chi who was busy building a kang in the room on the first floor and asked, "Is it possible?"

"I'll try. It should work. If it doesn't work, I'll call you again." Yi Chi walked into the room carrying bricks. It was a cold day and he was sweating from working so hard.

Jiang Yu wrapped herself in a quilt and closed the door tightly, then went to the small room to look at the half-finished kang that Yi Chi had built.

Who would have thought that in their first winter here, they would begin to miss the kang in the north.

During the Spring Festival this year, the small group of people could no longer get together to celebrate the New Year. They could only get together over the phone and talk about their daily lives.

Not only that, even the few people in S City couldn't get together.

Wu Aiqing went to visit Wu Xiaoxiao's home, and Xue Li went to City B, leaving only Yi Chi and Jiang Yu here to celebrate the New Year.

No matter how hard they tried, coupled with bad weather, the kang dried very slowly and was not put into use until the beginning of spring.

"It's a late spring cold in the south, so it can still be used for a while." Before school started, Xue Li came over to eat at home and took a look at the small room on the first floor. It should have been a servant's room at first, but now it is used by Jiang Yu and his wife to spend the winter.

The room on the third floor was large, but it was also very cold, not as comfortable as the first floor with a fireplace, so this winter the two of them never went upstairs to sleep except to get things.

In the new year, Xue Li's original business idea began to be officially implemented. She bought two small courtyards along the street near the department store. After connecting them all, she could open a small supermarket.

Jiang Yu was also puzzled about the source of her goods.

Xue Li shook his head proudly, "I went to City B for this purpose. I have established connections with some local food factories. With the money sent from City B, I believe I can also make a good start and gain a firm foothold."

She already had some reputation locally because of her farm construction, and leaders related to agriculture all had a good impression of her. As long as no one caused any trouble, her business would not have any major problems.

Seeing that she was confident, Jiang Yu waited to support her when she opened her business.

As for the construction of her own museum, the land has not yet been determined.

Deng Jiaxing helped her look at three pieces of land, each with its own advantages, but Jiang Yu wanted the one closest to the river the most, and the price had not been negotiated yet.

Because of his excellent grades, Yi Chi was recommended to a relative by the professor. In addition to attending classes, he also had to work in that relative's factory.

Everyone is busy with their own lives.

When the plane trees on the streets sprouted new leaves, people who had changed out of their heavy clothes regained their energy.

In the new year, the changes in S City are becoming more and more significant.

Many new shops have opened on the street. State-owned restaurants are finally no longer the only ones that stand out. Many small stir-fry restaurants and breakfast shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Since the beginning of the year, new policies have been issued from above. Individual business operations are no longer suppressed as before. The government encourages everyone to start their own businesses and solve employment problems on their own.

In the summer, there was a wave of educated youth returning home.

Just after the foundation of Jiang Yu’s museum was laid, many villagers nearby came to consult them about recruiting workers, including some old educated youth who were unemployed after returning to the city.

The design drawings of the museum were prepared by the professors of F University who asked the bigwigs of the design institute to work on it, and the construction team was contacted by Professor Zhang, Jiang Yu's teacher. So when those people came to ask if they needed workers, they were quickly noticed by the teachers in the school.

The original decision to send educated young people to the countryside to support rural construction was an emergency measure taken to solve the problem of a large accumulation of labor in cities that could not provide employment. Now the government encourages everyone to start their own businesses, which is also a choice made to completely solve this difficult problem.

But at the moment, many people still dare not take the first step to try, worrying that the risk of opening a store and starting a business is too great.

F University also made a major decision on this matter. It asked professors from several majors to jointly set up a club, hoping that students could go to the streets to deeply understand the difficulties of the masses, discover difficulties, and solve them.

The major that Yi Chi is studying is also included in the scope of this club organization.

Although he didn't know what they needed to do specifically, Jiang Yu thought it would be a good idea to let Yi Chi interact with more people.

A large number of college students are walking through the streets and alleys of S City.

Many middle-aged and elderly people are already worried about their children and grandchildren not having jobs, and now suddenly a group of people appear and want to tell you the benefits of starting your own business?

No one believed this at first, but with the efforts of the college students, more and more residents listened to their explanation.

Originally, the streets and alleys were fixed places where ordinary people gathered and chatted, but now they were occupied by a group of young college students. Some of them painted posters, some held banners, and some told stories. It can be said that they were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, attracting everyone who passed by.

Jiang Yu also encountered the same thing outside his alley when he was going home after class.

The foreign language student who gave the speech was describing what she knew about the foreign world. Her words were full of inspiring temptation. She told stories about other countries, but the listeners used her descriptions to imagine their own countries, and seemed to have seen a better future.

So starting your own business is not scary at all, and it is helping your country become better? The people’s originally anxious hearts seemed to have found a place to rest.

Jiang Yu's construction site solved the employment problem for some people, but the construction is short-term after all, and those workers should still look for other ways out.
