Chapter 508 Wang Zi is going to teach in Northwest China
But Fang Minghua made a decision quickly.
"Okay, thank you."
"Let's go, Uncle Fang, we have a big dinner today!" The girl was very happy, and the two left the courtyard.
It was still quite a distance from Shichahai to Qianmen, so Fang Minghua simply called a taxi and it took almost forty minutes to arrive near the Qianmen.
It's already dark, and the lanterns are starting to turn on.
The KFC located to the west of Qianmen is the first KFC in China. It has three floors. Fang Minghua and the others rushed there by car. From the outside, they saw bright lights. Although it was a cold winter night, there were still people coming and going. Past.
“This KFC opened in November 1987. The U.S. Ambassador also came to cut the ribbon, and there were many big leaders, and there were also performances by the gong and drum troupe and the yangko troupe. I also came to watch the fun at that time, and the crowds were much better than now. There are still more." Wang Zi said as he walked.
“Have you ever tasted it?”
“It’s too expensive, I can’t afford it. The cheapest set meal costs seven yuan and fifty cents.” Wang Zi felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly Said again.
"But I have money now. Not only do I have royalties, but my salary was just paid two days ago."
Fang Minghua can't bear the amount of royalties and wages you have.
But I was too embarrassed to say it, as it would hurt the girl’s heart.
The two went up to the second floor and saw how long the queue was.
Fang Minghua immediately wanted to back out.
"Uncle Fang, let's divide the work. You go grab a seat and I'll queue up." The girl made an immediate decision.
"How can I, an adult, have the nerve to grab a seat? You go grab it and I'll queue up. I'll ask you to pay when it's almost ready."
"Okay, I'll definitely ask you when the time comes. Me."
The girl quickly rushed into the restaurant, and Fang Minghua stood in line behind him.
After waiting in line for half an hour, it was Fang Minghua’s turn.
"Sir, what package do you want?" asked a girl wearing a red sweater and khaki overalls.
Don’t mention it, the girl is very pretty and quite tall, visually over 1.68 meters tall!
I guess they were selected according to the criteria for selecting stewardesses, right?
Fang Minghua sighed inwardly and quickly ordered two set meals when he saw the menu on the table:
2 pieces of finger-licking original chicken + mashed potatoes with chicken sauce + cole slaw + The small meal package, of course, includes a piece of hamburger, which costs 30.8 yuan in total for two servings!
Oh my god
The price of 40 roujiamo!
Fang Minghua complained in his heart, but still smiled and paid.
“Sir, what kind of drink or beer do you want?”
KFC stores in this era were served with beer!
Fried chicken and beer!
Did the Korean-style fried chicken and beer of later generations learn from this?
Fang Minghua ordered a bottle of Five Star Beer and a Pepsi Cola from Wang Zi. After paying, he found Wang Zi at a small table by the window of the restaurant with the receipt.
“It’s all booked.” Fang Minghua put the receipt on the table.
"Huh? I'll pay the money you agreed to pay." Wang Zi said when he saw the receipt.
"Next time, wait until you make money from writing books before inviting me." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Okay then."
She just secretly looked at the amount on the receipt.
Nearly 40 yuan.
Half a month’s salary is gone
If I hadn't lived in Fang Minghua's courtyard for free, no matter how frugal I was, I could barely get by in Yanjing with a salary of 100 yuan, not to mention buying books.
Not long after, when she heard the call, the girl hurried over to get the plate, and the two of them started eating.
Fang Minghua is really not interested in this stuff, but Wang Zi eats it very deliciously.
Originally, Fang Minghua wanted to remind you that this stuff is high in calories and can easily make you gain weight, but when you think about it, how many times a year can a girl come here to eat it?
And the girl is not fat at all.
The two chatted while eating.
Soon talking about literature.
"Teacher Fang, that book you wrote is really great!" Wang Zi said. ""Skywalker"?"
"Yes, those teachers are really amazing."
"In rural areas, especially in the northwest, there are many such teachers." Fang Minghua said lightly: "There is a place where I jumped in line. I went there once last summer." Fang Minghua told what he saw and heard in Baiyin Bench Village. girl.
“It turns out that the stories in your book are all based on prototypes.” The girl was eating a hamburger and looked surprised when she heard this.
"Of course, art comes from life. What good things can be written by sitting in the room and making up things?"
After hearing this, Wang Zi fell into deep thought, and suddenly said.
“Decide what?”
Wang Zi put down the hamburger in his hand and said: "I have decided to go to the Northwest to support teaching!"
"You are going to support teaching?!" Fang Minghua raised his head and looked at the other person in surprise.
"Yes, Uncle Fang, do you think my academic qualifications are not enough? I signed up for the correspondence course of Yan Normal University two years ago and graduated last summer with a technical secondary school diploma." Wang Zi Explain quickly.
“That’s not what I mean.” Fang Minghua’s expression became serious:
“The conditions in the Northwest are very difficult! Don’t read this book I wrote. If you listen, I will tell you These stories are told on the spur of the moment! ”
"No, Uncle Fang. In fact, I had this idea some time ago. Project Hope is now being promoted on TV and radio. It not only calls on everyone to donate money and materials to poor students in rural areas, but also calls on college students to teach in poverty-stricken areas. It talks about youth funds. There is a special teaching project in the association.”
“What else?”
“I have been in Yanjing for almost three years. I want to go out and see you. The vast northwest described in the book. Don’t worry that I can’t endure hardships. I left Shanghai and came to Yanjing when I was less than 17 years old, and I suffered a lot, but I didn’t tell you.” The girl looked very calm. .
Fang Minghua was a little silent.
After a while, he said: "Wang Zi, I respect your choice. Let's do this. If you make up your mind to teach, I know the organizer of the foundation and I can't see you going where I'm jumping in line. , I am familiar with that place and know the local people, it will be more convenient for you to go there.”
"Great! I really want to go to the place you mentioned." The girl clapped her hands happily.
"Okay, you sign up first, I will contact friends from the foundation tomorrow."
After finishing the meal, the two of them beat Fang Minghua to the door of his courtyard house. I left after a few words of advice.
"Uncle Fang, there will be no one to look after the door for you after I leave." The girl said suddenly.
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask someone to come over often and take a look. There's nothing valuable in the yard anyway." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"Then if I return to Yanjing from teaching in the northwest, can I still live here?"
"Yes, you can live here if you want."
"Thank you, Uncle Fang, Goodbye!”
“Goodbye!”
When he saw the girl closing the door, Fang Minghua turned and left.
Fang Minghua really didn't expect Wang Zi to make such a decision.
Historically, the girl named Mianmian did not seem to have this experience. She basically lived in big cities like Yanjing and Shencheng, which are the most developed in the country but are also full of decadence and corruption. in the city.
So the novels she wrote are also full of this atmosphere.
Think about it, it would be nice to go there. Her life will change dramatically, right?
Since Fang Minghua agreed to Wang Zi, Fang Minghua called Yu Hailong, the deputy secretary-general of the Youth Foundation, the next morning. After a few greetings, he explained his intention.
Wang Zi was asked to go to Baiyin Jingtai County to support education. In order to get the job done, Fang Minghua also emphasized that Wang Zi was his relative - his niece.
Yu Hailong naturally agreed, saying that once Wang Zi signed up, he would contact Gan Province Baiyin and the arrangements would definitely be made.
After finishing the matter, Fang Minghua was planning to buy an afternoon ticket to return to Yanjing, but during lunch, he received a call from Song Tangtang.
"Minghua, don't come back for a while. In order to promote your book, Shu Bin organized a promotion event and asked you to sign books and sell books in big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai."
