Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 78
Jiang Ning received a total of two royalties that time, one of 1,600 yuan and one of 6,840 yuan.
A total of 8,440 yuan, plus Jiang Ning’s 1,500 yuan saved before, was almost 10,000 yuan.
Even the bank staff couldn’t help but look up at Jiang Ning when they saw the numbers on her passbook. They were very surprised to see such a young girl with such a huge amount of money in her passbook.
After all, it had only been a few years since the concept of a ten-thousand-yuan household in the 1980s. Even in the mid-1990s, ten thousand yuan was a huge amount of money anywhere, and anyone would be envious of it.
She looked at the source of the large amount of funds in her account, and the remittance unit was a magazine.
That also made her feel relieved, and at the same time, she reminded this little student, “You must keep your passbook safe.”
At that time, others could use her passbook and ID card to withdraw the money in their passbook.
Jiang Ning naturally knew that too.
The current ID card was still handwritten, and the ID card photo was black and white, with very blurry facial features. Finding someone with a similar face shape and giving an ID card with the password, they could withdraw the money in her passbook.
She felt really uneasy to hold such a huge sum of money in hand.
She took some cash with her and kept her passbook properly before she came out of the bank. As soon as she left the bank, she saw Jiang Bai already carrying his bag and waiting at the school gate. When he saw her coming out of the bank, he looked a little confused. Looking solemn, Jiang Bai couldn’t help but ask, “Are you out of money?”
Jiang Ning looked at her second brother and nodded slowly, “Yes.”
Jiang Bai originally wanted to walk to the bus station. Anyway, going back an hour later would be fine for him.
In the senior year of high school, students had evening self-study on Sunday night, and there was no holiday on Monday.
But Jiang Ning didn’t want to walk, so she stopped a tricycle on the side of the road.
The tricycles in the city were really small. Sitting in them, Jiang Bai couldn’t straighten his legs.
When he was about to pay, Jiang Ning paid the money first.
On the first day of school, it cost one yuan to go from the bus station to No. 1 High School. As school had started, it only cost 50 cents to go from the school to the bus station.
Taking a bus back to town costs two and a half yuan for one person and five yuan for two people. Jiang Bai didn’t wait for Jiang Ning to pay, so he paid the money himself, saying,”For my sister and me.”
While Jiang Ning was sitting in the bus, she suddenly remembered that she had a chat with her second brother two years before she was reborn.
It was on the way back from her hometown, and her second brother was driving. It was one of the only two heart-to-heart conversations between him and her.
Because before, she had asked Jiang Bai many times whether he chose to drop out or regretted not taking the college entrance examination. He said he didn’t regret it. Only that time, after he was silent for a long time, he said, “There’s no point regretting it.”
He told her many things about his high school life that he had never told anyone before.
He said that when he was a freshman in high school, a male classmate in the class saw that he looked like a girl and called him a beauty. That offended him, so he beat the male classmate. He fought fiercely and cruelly, and the boy was beaten badly. His face was swollen with bruises all over. The male classmate was a relative of the physics teacher. The physics teacher came and beat him with a bamboo stick.
From then on, he had no interest in that teacher’s physics class and fell asleep during class. However, he ranked first in the class in the exam. The physics teacher blamed him for cheating.
Her second brother laughed and said at the time, “Even if I cheat, someone has to have a better paper than me. I ranked first in the class. If he said I cheated, who did I copy it from?” He was driving, with a cold expression. “I didn’t want to study at that time.”
What Jiang Ning was thinking at the time was that in the same high school, she was bullied, and her math teacher rescued her from the abyss, while Jiang Bai was pushed into the abyss by his teacher.
Because she was rescued, for many years afterwards, she remembered to be kind-hearted and not hesitate to lend a helping hand to others.
People didn’t know what their small kindness could bring to others, just like her math teacher didn’t know. If it weren’t for her, there would be no Jiang Ning later, and maybe there would be no Jiang Ning in the world.
He said that he didn’t have enough to eat in high school, and he got dizzy from hunger. He couldn’t concentrate in class. For a while, all he could think about was going out to work to earn money and have a full stomach. He had no interest in studying at all.
As soon as he graduated from high school, he had no intention of continuing his studies. He just wanted to go out to work and make money.
He said that he couldn’t keep up with nutrition, as he grew up too fast. He was suffering from growing pains, which were so painful that his legs cramped. He was often woken up by the pain at night and couldn’t sleep. He couldn’t sleep well at night, he had no energy during the day, and his grades dropped very quickly.
He smiled and said, “I know it’s not easy to study. My family spent a lot of money, so I had to study. I really relied on perseverance at that time to study.”
He didn’t know much about nutrition at that time. During his youth and growth period, he only ate rice and pickles all day long, thinking that as long as he was full, he would not be hungry.
But he was still hungry.
He said that at that time, it was thanks to the salted duck or other food that Tong Jingang brought him every week. He said that he chewed up all the bones of the salted duck and swallowed them.
Perhaps because he saw Jiang Bai’s wolf-like eating appearance and knew that he had leg cramps due to growing pains, Tong Jingang didn’t say anything. But he often brought him food, and sometimes even brought Jiang Bai home for dinner.
She also heard Tong Jingang say it, not that he brought food to Jiang Bai, but that Jiang Bai had growing pains in high school.
At that time, Tong Jinjiang didn’t go home every Chinese New Year and stayed at the Jiang’s house for more than ten days. Later, Jiang Bai went to work, and Tong Jinjiang lived in the Jiang’s house all day, eating and drinking there.
Mother Jiang scolded the two of them as bad friends. Two bachelors got into trouble. One didn’t get married, the other didn’t either.
He had never mentioned this to anyone for many years before, only Tong Jingang knew about it. Later, there was only her.
After listening to it, Jiang Ning was silent for a while then said with a smile, “I thought you weren’t hungry. I thought I was the only one who was so hungry every day that I felt dizzy.”
