Entering the cement road, a group of buildings appeared in the mountains, basically all of which were Su-style brick buildings, and there were several cement slab buildings. There were several villas on the hillside that were quite interesting from a modern perspective, that was the General Tower in the mouth of ordinary people.

The troops have a reception room, which is very wide on the first floor of a slope top floor. You can see the two-story general buildings from the windows of the reception room to the hillside. The buildings here are all tiled roofs, with thick chimneys standing on them, and wisps of clear smoke come out and disappear between the sky and the earth.

After sitting in the reception room for a few minutes, several people met Major General Wang, and the commander had a task to go to the Grand Alliance.

After taking tea and sitting for a while, Zhang Xingming explained his purpose. Political Commissar Wang smiled and asked the correspondents to call people. Then he left after a few polite words. Before leaving, he said that he was holding a banquet in the cafeteria at noon, but Zhang Xingming politely declined. He was not a military member, so it was not interesting to eat this meal, but he still exchanged contact information with Political Commissar Wang.

When Li Chun met with his comrades, both of them were very excited. They hugged each other and she looked like tears flowing. It would be difficult for people in future generations to understand the feelings between people in this era.

After eleven o'clock, several people left Jungou and returned to the county town.

Zhang Xingming asked, Erhong was not hungry yet, so he decided to go to the school cafeteria to check out. A few people parked their cars at the school gate and entered the campus. He helped Erhong deliver the things he bought to the dormitory first, and then went down to the cafeteria.

The canteen is behind the teaching building and the rear half of the first floor of the administrative building.

Not big, the entire hall looks like a hundred square meters, with a few shabby dining tables. The students would make a meal and go back to eat, and occasionally a teacher would sit here to eat.

The canteen is ready to start meals now. On the rice table with white tiles, there is a row of aluminum basins in the blue wooden frame in the mouth of the rice. The prepared food is placed here. Teachers and students make rice with school tickets, 30 cents of rice, 50 cents of vegetarian dishes, and 50 cents of meat dishes. It is not expensive and it is not cheap. It can be eaten for 80 cents, and 20 cents of 20 cents are good.

Under the confusing gaze of the canteen staff, Erhong led Zhang Xingming and Xiaobing to look around the dining window. Xiaobing said, "The canteen is okay, it is similar to our school, I just don't know if it's delicious."

Erhong said: "It's pretty good. It can be full, but it tastes better than the stewed at home."

In those days, how could I put too much oil in my countryside cooking? I rely on stewed vegetables all over the water, and I don’t want to put MSG, and there is not much meat. No matter how bad the food in the canteen is, it is fried. The oil is more than the average person’s house. It has MSG and meat, so I definitely think it is better than the home. Unlike the people in later generations who have better conditions and everything in their homes, they will feel that the food in the canteen is becoming more and more unpalatable. Of course, everything in later generations is about money, and the cost reduction in different ways is also the fundamental reason why the food is unpalatable.

Zhang Xingming felt relieved after looking around. 1988 to 1995 was a transition period. The entire education system silently changed from an educator and gardener thinking about students to a golden tool for everything for money and see what students are. Since then, outsourcing has become popular in school cafeterias. The school collects a high contract fee, the person in charge takes a large amount of hard money, and the students will bear all the results.

Erhong is a greedy little girl. She couldn't walk when she saw the food in the cafeteria and said to Zhang Xingming with her lips, "If you don't want to have a meal here, let's have a meal here."

Zhang Xingming laughed at Erhong's appearance, reached out and put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Today I invite you to have a big meal. You can choose whatever restaurants in this county town and eat delicious food."

Erhong reluctantly took it back from the window, thought for a while, looked at the watch and said, "Can I call me a classmate? It's okay for the three of us."

Zhang Xingming said: "Call all the seven people in your dormitory. Everyone lives in the same house. You can't be more favorable than the other." Erhong rolled his eyes and understood what Zhang Xingming meant, nodded and said: "Okay, then let's just eat some cheap ones. You are waiting here, I'll call someone."

It's almost half past eleven, and the fourth class is about to end, and it happens to be dinner.

Zhang Xingming and the soldier Li Chun and Zhang Qisheng walked outside the canteen door, waiting for Erhong and the others to come.

Within a few minutes, the electric ringtone rang, and then the quiet school suddenly became noiseless. With a bang, the other side of the teaching building seemed to explode, and the footsteps of the people boiled. Then in the blink of an eye, a student ran to the cafeteria.

Xiaobing looked at the increasing number of people and said with a smile: "This speed is so scary."

Li Chun and Zhang Qisheng also looked at the more and more students coming over with smiles. This was a vibrant feeling and it was very beautiful.

Zhang Xingming asked Xiaobing: "You are the same in school?"

Xiaobing smiled and said, "It's all the same. Let's see who can run fast. Those who take the meal first look awesome and are all idle. But by noon, I'm really hungry. I'm still a little bit too much at home. I'm very full every morning. Some students can't eat in the morning, and some students can't eat well if they're in difficulty at home, so they don't fight hunger."

Zhang Xingming nodded and looked at the students who filled the canteen in front of him. He should have been one of them. Unfortunately, he made mistakes every step and was getting further and further away from the life he should have. Now can he also tell others that his biggest mistake was that he created Hexiang, and it was very painful to earn several hundred million a day?

The school is not a closed teaching now, and all the students in the county town go home to have dinner, so soon there are fewer people outside and teachers come over with lunch boxes.

"Second brother, here."

Zhang Xingming looked over, Erhong and a few little girls stood beside the teaching building and jumped and shouted.

The four people walked over and Erhong said to the classmate: "This is my second brother. Today I came to see me. My second brother said we would go to the restaurant."

Zhang Xingming looked at the seven people and found that two of them were obviously better in their family conditions. Their dresses were different from the other ones, while the other ones were slightly worse. Two of them were obviously not rich at home, but they could support girls to go to high school, which means that the family conditions were poor, but they could still live a normal life, and the adults at home had a far-reaching vision.

These days, the real difficulty in rural areas cannot be enough to eat. Children usually become extremely immense after junior high school, and most of them do not. Few families can borrow money to support girls to go to school, but their vision is not that far, and the money is not so easy to borrow. Girls in such families usually work as farmers after graduating from elementary school and become laborers at home, and then get engaged at the age of fifteen or sixteen, get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and exchange some money for the family for their family.

Zhang Xingming smiled and said, "Let's go out for dinner. You can choose your own place and do whatever you like. You can eat whatever you like. Let's discuss it."
