I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies - Chapter 177 Commodity Sleeping Pillow【4.2K】

After the short trip to Hanning City, it was still unclear which school he would go to.

Where to study in high school is the first fateful decision for students like Yi Yang, and it needs to be carefully considered.

At present, it seems that there is no hope for Hanning No. 1 Middle School.

Although, Hanning City No. 1 Middle School also has the opportunity to make up for admission… Those students who are admitted but do not plan to study will have their spots vacant, and the students behind them will take their place.

But on the one hand, Hanning City No. 1 Middle School is almost the ceiling of Jiangnan High School. Yi Yang can’t think of a better choice that would make them make such a choice.

There are not many such students.

On the other hand, although it seems that the difference is only about ten points, many of them are tied, and there are more than a dozen people in between. Think about it, no matter how you make up for it, there is a high probability that you will not be able to make up for your position. Come up.

Regardless of Hanning No. 1 Middle School, there are three general considerations.

The first option is other schools in Hanning.

If he continues to choose Hanning City, Yiyang has no intention of considering other schools except the two schools that have passed the independent admissions examination.

The advantage of choosing those two high schools is that although the learning environment is a little worse than No. 1 Middle School, as one of the best high schools in the provincial capital city, the resources available to them are also top-notch. At the same time, as private schools, students in these two schools often have good family conditions or IQs.

Then, the probability of meeting outstanding people is also very high. From a slightly utilitarian perspective, you can slowly cultivate your own network from here…

After junior high school, those green years when you don’t think about anything, you start to think about utilitarian things. People of your age don’t realize it, but for Yi Yang as an adult, considering interests is almost an instinctive way of thinking.

Of course, connections and true friends are not mutually exclusive.

The disadvantage of choosing a high school in Hanning is also obvious…the tuition fee.

At present, his savings are only enough to pay for one year’s tuition.

Although his grandma still had some savings, it was not enough for him to afford three years of tuition.

This was a difficulty that he could not ignore.

A penny can stump a hero. Yi Yang has never been so eager for money before. He has always focused all his attention on his studies and has never been worried about lack of money… There is really no place to spend money in junior high school.

For a long time, I didn’t think about this issue seriously.

There is nothing wrong with the idea. Study, exercise, read, keep fit, and keep improving your horizons. To a certain extent, everything will be possible.

But learning does not exist in isolation. Simply put, it cannot be separated from the economic foundation.

Luo Bing concluded that academic performance depends on three factors: IQ, diligence, and environment. Except that extreme IQ can ignore the other two factors, most people’s performance is affected by three factors.

If you have one of these factors and do it to the extreme, you can probably get a bachelor’s degree.

If you achieve two extremes, you can get into a key university.

To enter the top universities in the country, you must either be at the first-class level in all three items, or have a super-first-class IQ.

Only when people know themselves can they not be confused.

Yi Yang also gradually realized where his upper limit was through contact and comparison with people like Luo Bing, who was born with superior intelligence.

The IQ is not low, but it is definitely not the kind of super-class IQ that can ignore the learning environment and diligence.

Diligence is something you don’t lack.

It counts as two items.

With my current IQ and diligence, if I can study in a high school with a good environment, I will have a chance to enter some famous schools.

Therefore, the learning environment is very important, which is why he still struggles even though he knows that the cost of staying in Hanning is high.

I really want to stay here and study.

money.

This is very contradictory.

Thinking about how to make money now is definitely “not doing his job properly”, but if he doesn’t have money, it will affect his studies.

In addition to high school in Hanning, the next two options are high school in Heyang City, and staying in Qinghe County to study locally.

Among them, Qinghe County No. 1 Middle School will naturally not be considered. Although it is not that Qinghe County No. 1 Middle School has never produced students from famous schools, the kind of students who rely solely on their own IQ are not universal.

In other words, people can go to prestigious schools anywhere. It was not Qinghe Middle School that made them successful, but they made Qinghe Middle School successful.

Yi Yang is not that kind of genius.

Of course, studying in Qinghe County is not without its benefits. With his grades, he is definitely a top student in the first echelon of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School. All educational resources will definitely be tilted towards him when he studies here.

The tuition is low, it’s close to home, and I can take care of my grandma.

During the college entrance examination, you can also enjoy local education rewards, 50,000 yuan for heavy undergraduates, and 200,000 yuan for famous schools in northern Qinghai!

Think again.

The third option is also the one that Yi Yang is currently leaning towards… to study in Heyang City.

Heyang City is the second largest city in Jiangnan Province. Its size is slightly smaller than that of Hanning City, but not much different. In terms of education, Heyang City’s high schools are also very strong… If you look at the results alone, occasionally in some years, Heyang City’s college entrance examination scores are not inferior to those of Hanning City.

but……

Compared with the high schools in Hanning City, Heyang City has one thing that is not very good in Yiyang’s opinion…

The study atmosphere in Heyang City is notoriously depressing.

The learning atmosphere in Hanning City is generally similar to the No. 7 Middle School in Sichuan Province or the No. 4 Middle School in the Capital, while Heyang Xi High School is somewhat similar to the Hengshui Middle School model.

Specifically, Hanning City is more concerned about the improvement of students’ comprehensive quality and an open educational concept. There are many club activities in high school that are only available in universities, and the extracurricular life is also quite rich.

There will be many exchange opportunities, exchanges abroad, exchanges of foreign students… various club activities, even better than some college students of the same type.

In contrast, Heyang City is all about learning, learning, and learning.

Naturally, this is also related to the level of students. After all, the top high schools in Hanning City give priority to better students. With grades as the basis, they can allocate some energy to other things.

If Heyang City wants to catch up with its opponent in terms of grades even though its foundation is not as good as Hanning’s, it will naturally have to continuously reduce students’ spare time. Only by working hard can students make up for their shortcomings in the college entrance examination.

Parents naturally only look at grades, so in the eyes of some people, the education level in Heyang City is on par with Hanning City, but this view is still a bit weak.

If the repressive and high-intensity education in Heyang City is the main focus, the college entrance examination results in Hanning City will be even more terrible.

Yi Yang still prefers to go to Hanning City to study in high school, but if there is really no way to go to Hanning City at the moment, it is not impossible to study in Heyang.

But for now, we can put this matter aside for now.

There is no need to start the next round of study right away.

This summer vacation, many classmates have started to work part-time jobs. Even Luo Bingluo Luoyue and others, whose family conditions are quite good, did not focus solely on their studies. Instead, they found something to do in the county and experienced some of the in-depth knowledge in advance. social life.

After all, after studying intensively for three years, there is no need to continue to push myself so much during the last summer vacation of junior high school.

Because the high school entrance examination is relatively early and the summer vacation is very long, Yi Yang decided to spend most of the summer vacation sleeping on the pillow.

That batch of raw materials has been transported to Qinghe County.

There was no place to put them, so Yi Yang temporarily put several big bags containing materials in Jiang Lili’s house.

Then, Yi Yang took out a plastic mold and a filling.

The fabric was in bundles and had not been cut yet. Yi Yang thought for a while and did not touch the fabric rashly.

An obvious feature of modern process production is standardized production.

To unify every step, there must be unified specifications and standards.

Take the pillow for sleeping on your stomach as an example. The specifications of the plastic mold and filler are the same. The next step to make one is actually quite simple. Just wrap the plastic mold with filler and fabric.

This process still needs to be carefully considered.

The main function of the plastic mold is only to play a supporting role. Whether it is comfortable to lie on it depends on the fabric and filling. The sewing process will largely determine the final finished product.

Yiyang was not in a hurry, but bought a plastic bag to simulate fabric, and then kept cutting, trying, and testing to simulate the sewing structure of the fabric.

How many pieces should the fabric be cut into, what shape, and which positions are most convenient for sewing. Although Yiyang doesn’t know how to sew, he can figure out a more reliable shape in this way.

I stayed at home and spent three days doing this.

Finally, on the night of the fourth day, Yi Yang made the first finished sleeping pillow.

This sleeping pillow has a simple shape, but is quite practical. Compared with the sloppy version I made before, it is clearly a “commodity” and looks pretty good.

Yiyang lay down on it and tried it. The experience brought by the latex was indeed incomparable to that of a sponge. Yiyang felt that his neck was greatly relieved. He put his hand through the hole under the sleeping pillow and was not afraid of pressing it. The experience is quite good.

Of course that is definitely much worse than sleeping in a bed.

But sleeping pillows were originally intended for people who couldn’t sleep on the bed, such as students and white-collar workers taking a lunch break.

Compared to sleeping directly on the table, the experience of using a sleeping pillow is much better.

Yi Yang tried sleeping on it. If he took it out during lunch break, it would most likely cause human-to-human transmission.

After several days of experimentation, he set a standard for sewing this sleeping pillow, including how many pieces to cut the fabric into, how big and what shape, where to stitch, how much latex to fill…

It’s close to the most reasonable. After all, it is based on plastic molds, so no matter how optimized it is, it will probably not escape a certain circle.

Next, it is naturally impossible for him to sew these sleeping pillows one by one… After all, he does not know tailoring. Although the one he has made so far is visible, the threads are messy and can be further optimized.

With a sewing machine, an aunt with good skills can not only sew quickly, but also hide all the threads inside.

Since you are going to be the boss, let professionals do the professional things.

Find a tailor…

The first thing to consider is those acquaintances with good character. Yi Yang began to think about who among the people he knew who met this condition.

Just as I was thinking about this, the phone rang.

I picked up the small Nokia phone and saw that it was a call from an unfamiliar landline.

After picking up, Zhao Yue’e’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Yi Yang…are you in Yanzi Township?”

“Um…he’s not here, what’s wrong?”

“Um…didn’t I lend you money last time? I’ll pay you back some first.”

Yi Yang remembered that Zhao Yue’e’s father was in trouble and loaned her 5,000 yuan. Yi Yang is not in a hurry to spend money now. It doesn’t make any difference if the 5,000 yuan is not paid back at this time, but for Zhao Yue’e’s family, it has a different meaning.

His father was injured last time and was raised at home for a period of time, which meant no income for a period of time. Before the injury healed, I went to make money again…

It’s really tough.

“Uh…well, don’t worry.”

“When will you come to Yanzi Township?”

“This…” Yi Yang suddenly thought of something and asked: “By the way Yue’e, is your mother a tailor? I remember you mentioned it?”

“Uh… Mom worked in a tailor factory in the city before she was injured. Why do you ask?”

Yi Yang gradually had an idea in his mind and said, “That’s good, I’ll come over this afternoon.”

“Okay…” Zhao Yue’e hesitated, and whispered: “However, I can’t pay it all at once for the time being. I can only pay you back two thousand first, but don’t worry, I will definitely pay it back!”

Yi Yang smiled: “That doesn’t matter. I came here to see you for other matters.”

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang thought for a moment and packed several sets of sleeping pillow materials in a pocket.

It was still early at this time, so Yi Yang called his second uncle. He happened to be selling some vegetables in the county town, so they agreed to go back to Yanzi Township in the afternoon.

When he saw his second uncle, he didn’t look good.

Yi Yang knew that his second uncle was still angry about leaving without saying goodbye.

After I went to Hanning City, I kept reporting to my second uncle that I was safe and the situation every day. In fact, my uncle’s anger should have gone away long ago. At this time, I just needed a step down.

Yi San pulled Yi Yang up and asked while driving, “How did you do in the exam?”

“Hey… not bad, I got into two schools.”

“!”

“It’s just that the tuition is a bit too expensive. I haven’t decided where to study yet.”

“The tuition is too expensive?”

“Second uncle, don’t worry. There are cheap schools in Heyang City and they are also very good.”

“Oh… I don’t understand this very well. I’ll ask other people in the village for you in two days to give you a reference…”

“OK.”

“Don’t do this next time. If something happens to you…forget it, you can’t think like that. Your father had already started wandering around when you were your age…”

As the car drove towards Yanzi Township, Yi Yang visibly noticed that his second uncle’s complexion had improved, and he flattered him at the right time: “Second uncle’s driving skills are getting better and better…”

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, a smile suddenly appeared on the second uncle’s face.

“No matter what you do, it all depends on what makes perfect. Do one thing and you will realize one thing. When it comes to driving…”

As he spoke, he drove into a pothole in the road. There was a sudden bump, and Yi San bit his tongue unceremoniously…
