South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Ah, I, I don't have it. No thanks." Wang Xin was stunned, then said with a dry laugh.

"Oh, why be so polite? It's just a matter of convenience." Yao Yuling looked at Wang Xin with a smile, glancing at Ma Yan from time to time.

Ma Yan was immediately unhappy and reached out and pinched Wang Xin's waist hard.

"Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing!" Wang Xin yelled, covering his waist.

"What are you doing! Did you twist your waist? Let me take a look." Ma Yan said, pretending to be ignorant and helping Wang Xin check his waist.

"What's wrong, Wang Xin?" Upon seeing this, Yao Yuling quickly wiped her hands on her apron and walked over, looking concerned.

"He's fine, just got bumped. Well, go do the laundry." Ma Yan waved her hand.

"Wang Xin, are you really okay?" Yao Yuling looked at Ma Yan with suspicion.

"You're okay, right?" Ma Yan looked at Wang Xin with a warning look.

"Yes, I'm fine. You should go wash clothes, otherwise my waist will hurt later." Wang Xin waved his hand quickly.

"Puchi." Ma Yan couldn't help laughing.

"Hmph." Yao Yuling noticed something and walked back to the sink angrily to continue washing clothes.

"That's good of you. You even have someone to help you wash your clothes." Ma Yan whispered, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Look, why don't you have this awareness?" Wang Xin looked at her and said.

"You want me to wash your clothes?" Ma Yan said with a smile.

"That's not necessary. Just look at the questions. Look at the questions." Seeing Ma Yan's smile, Wang Xin knew that something bad was going to happen, so he quickly changed the subject.

At this moment, Niu Dali walked straight towards Yao Yuling holding a basin with two pieces of clothes in it.

"Hey, Yao'er, I have two pieces of clothes here, can you wash them for me?"

Niu Dali saw everything just now, and he just wanted to come out and make his presence felt.

When Yao Yuling heard this and saw Niu Dali coming, she quickly started packing the clothes and putting them into the basin.

"Oh my god, your clothes are all covered with coal dust. Won't the water turn into ink? If you wash other clothes with yours, it's better not to wash them at all!"

"Who said that? If you don't believe me, try it." Niu Dali still didn't want to give up.

"It's late. I've finished washing." Yao Yuling smiled and then turned and left.

"Hey! Yao'er, look how come it's over here!" Niu Dali shouted at Yao Yuling's back.

"Oh! Are you all so idle today?" At this time, Yuan Mu pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, and seeing these people were there, he greeted everyone.

"Oh, Brother Yuan, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you so busy?" Niu Dali greeted Yuan Mu with a smile when he saw him.

"Of course I am. I've been a bit busy lately. I just got some free time now. Why don't you do some laundry?" Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"Ah, laundry."

"Okay, then you go wash up." Yuan Mu said, walking towards his home.

"Brother Mu!"

"Uncle Yuan!"

Wang Xin and Ma Yan greeted Yuan Mu when they saw him.

"Hey! Are you studying?"

"Yes, I'll ask Wang Xin if I have any questions." Ma Yan nodded with a smile.

"My God, Wang Xin may not know as much as you do, and you're still asking him." Yuan Mu smiled teasingly.

"Tsk! Brother Mu, what are you talking about!" Wang Xin rolled his eyes at Yuan Mu.

"Wang Xin, why do you want to go to college?" Yuan Mu asked.

"Why should I go to university? I'm so busy every day." Wang Xin shook his head.

"Let me tell you, it's okay to get into a university. The country just opened the college entrance examination not long ago, so being a university student is very valuable."

"Yanzi, don't worry about others. You have to go to college. No matter you are looking for a job or doing anything else in the future, having a high degree will make everything easier for you."

"Okay, I'm trying my best." Ma Yan nodded.

"I will also take the exam next year, and then we can take it together." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Ah? Uncle Yuan, you are going to take the college entrance examination too?" Ma Yan was stunned.

"Brother Mu, what are you going to do about finding a job after you get into college?" Wang Xin was also stunned.

"What can we do? Our employer is eager for us to go to college. This is supported by the policy. We can work in the employer and come back to continue our work after graduation."

"Besides, it's a big advantage to get into university. You will be promoted and reused when you come back. Plus, if you have made contributions before, you might become a cadre when you come back." Yuan Mu nodded.

"Ah? Is that so?" Wang Xin frowned and pondered.

"And for someone like you, Yan Zi, if you work for a government agency after graduating from university, you won't have any problem getting a full-time position in the next two years."

"Is it possible? But Uncle Wang has been working for half his life and is only a deputy section chief. Even if I graduate from college, I will only be in my twenties." Ma Yan was a little skeptical.

"In the future, cadres will be younger, and those with higher education will naturally be given priority. And as I said before, the country has just opened the college entrance examination not long ago, and the quality of today's college students is too high."

"If you believe me, then study hard and try to get into university next year. You will benefit from it for the rest of your life. Of course, Yan Zi, if you want to go into business, just pretend I didn't say anything." Yuan Mu shrugged.

"Go into business? Are you allowed to do business now?" Ma Yan was stunned again.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm almost exhausted. I'm going home first." Yuan Mu waved his hand and walked towards home.

"Hey, Uncle Yuan, don't go, talk to me more!" Ma Yan immediately got up and followed Yuan Mu home.

"Wait a minute, I'll go too." Wang Xin followed closely.

When it was time to eat, Wang Xin and Ma Yan prepared a table full of dishes and ordered two bottles of wine.

"Uncle Yuan, according to what you said, does the country really need to open up to business?" Ma Yan asked as she poured Yuan Mu a glass of wine.

"Of course you have never been to Shenzhen. It is a very prosperous place. There are people doing business everywhere. There are many sellers and even more buyers. It is not just Shenzhen. Many places in the south are like this now."

"Think about it, if the country didn't tacitly approve, would they dare to do this? So based on these calculations, I think the country will issue relevant laws by the end of the year at the latest." Yuan Mu took a sip of wine and nodded.

"So is this business very profitable?" Ma Yan asked.

"It is true that you can make money, but it comes with risks. High income is definitely accompanied by high risks. There are too many evildoers in this era, and it is not easy to do business."

"Then what do you think I can do?" Ma Yan's mind became active.

"Oh, don't do that. Give up the idea first. You can't get past Old Ma. You'd better study hard for the college entrance examination." Yuan Mu quickly cut off her thoughts.

"What about me?" Wang Xin came over with a grin.
