Chapter 476 Moving into the New House Party, Losing Stocks Soar
After graduating, Tu Nan naturally entered Tongji Design Institute, while Wan Shu's file was transferred to the Municipal Urban and Rural Construction Management Committee, which later became known as the Construction Bureau.
The Construction Committee is mainly responsible for supervising the implementation of various regulations in urban construction, while the Planning Bureau focuses on formulating these regulations. The two have distinct responsibilities and work together to promote the orderly development of the city.
At this moment, on the path in Quyang New Village, Tu Nan and Wan Shu walked hand in hand toward their new home.
After my parents bought the house in April, we started renovations. After two months of work, it's now completely transformed.
Initially, Huang Ling felt sorry for the children and planned to cover the renovation costs, but Wan Shu and Tu Nan firmly disagreed. They felt that their parents had already sacrificed too much for them and that they should bear the cost of the renovations themselves.
In late June, the summer sun was strong and it was already very hot.
Inside the new houses in Quyang New Village, the window air conditioners produced by Xinsheng Factory hummed, creating a stark contrast between the indoor and outdoor weather.
Inside the room sat Tu Nan and Wan Shu, who had already graduated with master's degrees, as well as Xiao Ting and Dong Zhe, who had just finished their final exams, and Peng Fei and Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou had met everyone many times and they were already quite familiar with each other. During holidays, they often took the train back to their hometown together.
She has an outgoing and cheerful personality, and she is quick and decisive in her work. Everyone likes this girl quite a bit.
Zhuang Tunan's direct entry into the design institute was somewhat unusual.
Before the restructuring of the design institute, there were winter and summer vacations, and no drawings were required during the holidays.
However, after the reform in 1987, the production of drawings was closely linked to income, and the construction team was in a hurry to get the drawings, so he started working immediately after graduation.
Zhang Wanshu will not report to the Municipal Construction Commission until September 1st, so she can enjoy her last leisurely summer vacation.
Although it's a holiday, she's already planning to shuttle between her parents' and mother-in-law's houses. The after-school care center also needs help. Tu Nan can't come back, so this is the last holiday she can help out.
Today, everyone gathered together to celebrate Tu Nan and Wan Shu's upcoming entry into the workforce, after which they will return to Suzhou.
Tu Nan went straight to work.
After all, the four adults at home are still waiting for them to come back and help out at the tutoring center.
This time, Pengfei also plans to bring Xiao Zhou along so that his uncle and aunt can meet him.
Xiaoting looked around the house, praising it as she went.
"Brother, sister-in-law, your house is decorated really well."
She went into the restroom and exclaimed in surprise, "The restroom even has a flush toilet! It's really nice, sister-in-law! You really have good taste in decorating, no wonder you studied architecture!"
Lin Dongzhe followed behind her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
"Why don't you let me help us with the renovations? I know a construction and renovation team, so we'll trust you to do it. We'll pay for it, and we'll renovate both your place and mine."
At this moment, Zhuang Tunan and Pengfei were busy cooking in the kitchen.
Tu Nan came out carrying a plate of food and called out.
"What are you two whispering about? Come over here and help serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks!"
"Coming!" Xiaoting and Dongzhe quickly responded and ran to help.
Before long, the table was laden with a sumptuous feast, including braised prawns; stir-fried tofu and bean sprouts, refreshing and delicious; braised pork belly, melting in your mouth; stir-fried bamboo shoots; glutinous rice meatballs; and a modified version of spicy chicken that Tu Nan had recently learned, which wasn't very spicy to suit everyone's tastes.
Seeing this, Lin Dongzhe cleared his throat and picked up his wine glass.
"Congratulations to my brother and sister-in-law on finding their dream jobs. Let's raise a glass together and wish each other all the best in the future."
The six people's glasses clinked together crisply, the wine inside swirling slightly. They all tilted their heads back and finished their drinks.
Pengfei quickly picked up a meatball and placed it in Xiao Zhou's bowl, his tone gentle. "This is delicious, it'll help you cool down from the alcohol."
Tu Nan glanced at Peng Fei, smelling the stench of their romance, then looked at Lin Dongzhe, who was staring at Xiao Ting with a lewd look in his eyes. These two boys didn't know how to restrain themselves at all.
Tu Nan sighed helplessly, thinking that if he didn't serve his wife some food soon, these two guys would serve all the food to their girlfriends.
You have to cherish your own wife.
So he picked up a meatball and put it in Wanshu's bowl. "Wanshu, eat quickly, or those little devils will all eat it."
Wan Shu smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of braised pork and brought it to her mouth. "Open your mouth!"
"Ah!" he mumbled between chews. "Delicious, so delicious!"
Lin Dongzhe started peeling shrimp again. "Brother, let's not talk about each other."
When Zhuang Tunan saw Qiang Huo arrive, he thought, "No way!" He'd been the one feeding everyone in his family since he was little.
"Your sister-in-law and I are legally married. Put the shrimp down, I'll do it!"
Lin Dongzhe noticed the gaze his brother-in-law was casting and immediately reacted, quickly picking up a piece of chicken and handing it to Tu Nan.
"Brother, have a piece of chicken, it's delicious."
After peeling the shrimp, Tu Nan shared them with everyone.
Pengfei explained to Xiao Zhou, "My brother has been peeling shrimp since he was a child. Eat up, he's washed his hands."
After washing his hands, Zhuang Tunan took a sip of beer, put down his glass, and glanced at the four young people in front of him: Xiaoting, Dongzhe, Pengfei, and Xiaozhou. He thought to himself, "These four kids are all the same. No wonder they can get along so well."
Loves to play, loves to shop, and loves money.
"Xiaoting, Dongzhe, Pengfei, and Xiaozhou, are the four of you still planning to sell plastic bags on Huating Road and Qipu Road? I'm not trying to be mean, but you really shouldn't take job assignments so lightly. Even though it's a two-way selection process now, employers still consider factors like residency, grades, and performance during school."
Like your sister-in-law, whose personnel file was directly transferred by the Municipal Construction Commission—that's one situation. The rest of you will have to find jobs yourselves and communicate with employers. You'll be seniors soon, so you need to start thinking about these things.
Shanghai allocates fewer than 10,000 household registration quotas to various enterprises and government agencies each year. Unlike before when job assignments were guaranteed, it's now a two-way selection process. In a few years, I think graduates might have to find jobs entirely on their own. The job market is getting worse every year. After graduation, are you planning to pursue postgraduate studies or enter the workforce?
After Xiaoting finished the meatball Lin Dongzhe had put on her plate, she nodded seriously. "Brother, we've remembered what you just said."
Pengfei nodded in agreement.
“Brother, I’m planning to start working right away. I’ve had enough of studying for so many years. If it weren’t for my uncle, aunt, brother, and Xiaoting constantly pressuring me, I might have already gone with Uncle Qian. I’m not going to take the postgraduate entrance exam. It’s fine if Xiaozhou wants to take it. I’ll work and earn money to support her. If she wants to pursue a master’s degree, or even a doctorate, that’s no problem.”
As he spoke, Pengfei turned to look at Xiao Zhou with a doting gaze.
Xiao Zhou looked back at Pengfei happily, nodded vigorously, and said firmly, "Yes, I want to take the postgraduate entrance exam!"
Wan Shu smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Alright, why do you have to say it at the dinner table when you could say it at any other time? Let's just enjoy our meal, okay?"
Xiaoting pouted, agreeing wholeheartedly with her sister-in-law's words, and quickly picked up a piece of chicken.
"That's right, sister-in-law, this chicken isn't spicy."
After dinner, the group played cards and talked about the booming Vacuum Electronics stock. In just three months, the price had risen from 91 yuan to 586 yuan, and it was still rising every day, soaring all the way up, making it impossible to hold on.
"Pengfei, why don't we call it quits while we're ahead!"
"Brother, I think we can wait a little longer. It should be about time to sell when we come back in September."
Zhang Wanshu nodded. "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them." "Pengfei will listen to you."
