In university life, all kinds of people have different ways of living. Some people live in intoxication, some people are constantly having sex, and most people will complete their studies in a disciplined manner and have a diploma when they graduate.
In Su Province in midsummer, although the temperature reaches 30°, standing under the shade of a tree can still make people feel cool. Zhang Fan, a fifth-year clinical student, stood under the shade of a tree but couldn't feel the coolness at all. He had been getting angry these days and had blisters at the corners of his mouth. Everyone else was starting to prepare their resumes, but Zhang Fan didn't have any thoughts at all. Because he hasn't received his diploma yet.
Zhang Fan, whose parents are laid-off workers, also has a sister who is 7 years younger than him. When he received the university admission notice, he had to raise enough money for his tuition and fees with the help of relatives and friends. When Zhang Fan entered college, he did not rely solely on his parents. He actively participated in the school's work-study program. After studying at night, he sold instant noodles, ham, and eggs from the wholesale market. He could barely make up for the tuition and living expenses, and he was able to get by smoothly. Four years of college.
In the last year, perhaps because God wanted to increase Zhang Fan's life experience, there were constant accidents at home. First, my father, who worked in a chemical factory, was burned on his foot and was treated conservatively in the county hospital for two weeks. The attending doctor told him to transfer him with a numb face, saying that the county hospital was not good at treating the condition and asked him to go to a large hospital in the province. It's a waste of money not to mention a waste of time. His father had just been discharged from the hospital, and his mother suffered from acute appendicitis and perforation. The operation was successful, but as a result, Zhang Fan's tuition fees were lost. If the tuition cannot be paid to the school, of course it will not issue a diploma.
Relatives have helped a lot in the past few years, and Zhang Fan is too embarrassed to bother others anymore, so he can only think of his own solution. Graduation is about to begin, and the school will hold graduation lectures, so you can spend your free time by yourself. Zhang Fan went to the construction site to move bricks during the day and posted small advertisements for the agency at night. After working for more than 20 days, the tuition fee was still more than 2,000 yuan. Graduation was about to take place, and there was really no other way. Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and returned to the dormitory.
Of course, the brothers in the dormitory don't have much money, so they can't lend it to Zhang Fan. But after all, the university is not a high school in the county. There are many rich people, and they are about to graduate, and there are many people who are indulgent. Many students who are bored and like to gamble started to gather in the dormitory to gamble. Although the gambling capital is not big, if you are lucky, you can lose two to three hundred in one day. But I can’t stand the crowd.
Zhang Fan is not just trying to get lucky, he has a unique skill. Zhang Fan's hometown is in a small mountain village in the northwest. The village is almost full of farmers who have faced the loess and turned their backs to the sky for generations. A few workers are considered celebrities in the village.
From such a small mountain village came a household name, Zhang Fan's cousin. When my cousin was young, he was idle and did not do his job. One day he would steal the chicken next door, and the next day he would steal the dog behind the farm. Anyway, he was a person that pigs disliked and dogs didn’t like. One year, he injured the son of the village chief of a neighboring village in a fight. He left his hometown out of fear of retaliation.
When Zhang Fan was in his teens, his cousin suddenly returned to his hometown. When my cousin returned to his hometown, he seemed like a new person, and he would never do such nonsense again. Zhang Fan liked to hang around his uncle when he was young.
My uncle who has traveled far away has a lot of stories to tell, and he can also do magic tricks. A deck of playing cards can complete flowers. Although he doesn’t show it off in front of others, in the admiring eyes of the little kid, it may be a kind of nostalgia. He often teases the little kid with playing cards. Zhang Fan actually learned a lot from Zhang Fan.
As Zhang Fan grew up, he realized that this was a cheating method in gambling. When Zhang Fan is bored, he often turns over playing cards in his hands.
One year during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Fan, who returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, saw the young people in the village playing cards. He was eager to play cards, so he took the game. As a result, he killed everyone and won dozens of dollars. Someone told Zhang Fan's father that he was so beaten that Zhang Fan didn't get out of bed for three days. His father, who was not well educated, could not make any great sense, so he taught Zhang Fan that a stick would produce a filial son. Since then, Zhang Fan has never participated in gambling again, and the memory is profound.
The clinical department is the largest department in the medical school. There are many rich second-generation people in it. They often organize games such as mahjong and golden flower. These people get carried away when playing and often skip meals. In the past few years, takeout was not developed yet, so as long as When there was a gambling game, Zhang Fan went to sell instant noodles. Which dormitory in the school had a gambling game?
Dormitory No. 504 is a gathering place for gamblers. When I knocked on the door, I saw Zhang Fan. There was a guy inside who was probably hungry, so he shouted to Zhang Fan: "Bullsman, you haven't been dedicated lately. If you don't come here, I'll starve to death." I quickly made two packets of braised noodles and added two eggs." Originally, his name had the character "Fan" in it, and he left a bag full of instant noodles every day on the corridor, so the nickname of the dealer gradually became popular. .
"I'm sorry, I've been busy these days and haven't purchased any goods. Isn't it time to graduate? Seeing you having fun makes me want to play a few games." More than four years of being a hawker has given Zhang Fan an early understanding of society's Cruel, almost every time he spoke, he always had a cautious smile.
"Oh, it's not easy. The dealers are also here to play. Everyone, hurry up and make room." After saying this, seven or eight people made room. They were playing golden flowers. Three of the same cards were bombs. Among them, A was the biggest and the second was the smallest. The next ones were straights and the like. After Zhang Fan came on the field, he slowly followed a few and observed a few of them. He had a rough idea. Counted.
I finally got a good card, and after a small win, I started shuffling the cards. Zhang Fan's unique skill lies in shuffling cards. The few people present are not professional gamblers. Although they haven't played cards for many years, they can still fool a few students who have not graduated. Just like this, I won two or three hundred a day, and I didn't dare to win more. It was originally a small place. If I hit it with a hammer and turned it upside down, no one would be stupid. From now on, no one would play with Zhang Fan at the cliff. He just can't win. If you lose, who will play with you?
After twenty days, I had enough tuition. Zhang Fan paid the tuition fee with a set of money. Looking at the receipt in his hand, Zhang Fan felt like a MMP. He had to work very hard every year to get enough for tuition and living expenses.
Feeling helpless, if it weren't for Zhang's father's beating, Zhang Fan might have given up medicine and started gambling. In the past twenty years, he has been busy attending events during the day to earn tuition fees, and at night he has to think about how to play more secretly and undetectable by others. It is not easy for him to work hard every day, so he forgot about the job fair.
Except for three or four graduate students in the class, and a few who had the connections to stay in the provincial capital, almost all the others went to either county towns or corporate hospitals. Even going to the county hospital requires some connections, and it takes about half a year or more to operate in advance. Zhang Fan can't even raise the tuition fees, so how can he find connections to find connections, so the job fair is very important, and he can't get into the hospital. You can work as a drug dealer in a larger, more formal company.
Zhang Fan, who missed the job fair, was dumbfounded. Now that he has his diploma, he can go and work there!
