All kinds of honors came one after another. Zhao Changfeng almost overnight went from an unknown ordinary student to the hottest campus star of North China University of Finance and Economics.

However, just when Zhao Changfeng was in college, an unfortunate news came from his family that the Hongxing Machinery Factory where his parents were located went bankrupt.

Zhao Changfeng's parents were both formal workers at Hongxing Machinery Factory. If we go forward ten years later, it is quite enviable for such families with both parents and both parents working. There is even a special noun in society, calling this family a "dual-employee" family. However, the halo of dual-employee continues to fade in the tide of reform, accounting independently, and taking on profits and losses. Various new terms continue to appear. When the government pushed the enterprises to society and the market, those companies that were accustomed to the state's unified purchase and sales were getting harder and harder. Hongxing Machinery Factory was also one of these companies in trouble.

But even if the life of Hongxing Machinery Factory is hard, the salary of Zhao Hongxing’s parents is more than 400 yuan. Although this money cannot allow them to live a wealthy life, as long as Hongxing Machinery Factory does not go bankrupt, the monthly amount of more than 400 yuan can be paid for Zhao Changfeng’s monthly living expenses of more than 100 yuan.

However, Hongxing Machinery Factory went bankrupt! Zhao Changfeng's parents both were unemployed. In other words, Zhao Changfeng's family lost a penny of income.

Misfortune never comes alone! Zhao Changfeng's mother was in poor health because the factory suddenly went bankrupt, which caused her to be too severe and she couldn't afford to get sick. In this way, not only did the family have no income, but also had to spend a lot of medical expenses. This made the already stretched family even more embarrassed.

Zhao Changfeng learned the news when he went home on New Year's Day holiday in 1993. He originally went home to tell his parents about his situation at school and let his parents share his joy, but Zhao Changfeng was shocked as soon as he entered the house: his mother was lying on the hospital bed, her face was sallow and almost skinny. His father suddenly grew older, his formerly upright waist became hunched, his face, which was once full of smiles, was densely covered with wrinkles, and his black and lush hair was also replaced by sparse gray hair.

Her father told Zhao Changfeng that the Hongxing Machinery Factory went bankrupt in early December, and her mother fell ill at that time. She was afraid of affecting Zhao Changfeng's study, so she kept suppressing her father from letting him tell Zhao Changfeng the news.

Zhao Changfeng served his mother in front of the hospital bed for three days. He had to serve him, but the holiday had arrived. His mother forced him to go to school. She cried and said, "Isn't the family working hard to support him as a college student just to hope that he will be prosperous in the future and bring glory to his parents?" If Zhao Changfeng delayed his studies because of her illness, how could she live in peace?"

In desperation, Zhao Changfeng had to leave home and return to school.

Before leaving, my father stuffed Zhao Changfeng eighty dollars into his hand, his face full of shame, and he didn't even dare to look at Zhao Changfeng's eyes: "Changfeng, my father is useless and can't even afford a college student. I'm sorry for you! You can take this 80 dollars first, just treat this monthly living expenses, and then think of a way for the remaining money."

Zhao Changfeng did not accept his father's money. He took out the certificate of outstanding college student model awarded by the school from his bag and let his father see it: "Dad, I forgot to tell you. This time I was rated as an outstanding college student model by the school, and the school also issued a bonus of 200 yuan. This money is enough for me to spend the winter vacation, so don't worry about me."

Regardless of whether his father believed it or not, Zhao Changfeng ran away. His father clumsyly chased Zhao Changfeng from behind, calling his name anxiously. Zhao Changfeng kept running forward without looking back. The cold wind of winter cut on his face like a knife, causing tears to burst out from his eyes.

***************************************************************************

After returning to school, Zhao Changfeng began to consider how to make money to support himself. In the early 1990s, although there was a saying of working part-time, it was extremely difficult for college students to find a job that could support themselves. Even when college tutors were very popular later, it was very rare at Zhao Changfeng. Due to the economic conditions at that time, most people were not well-off, so who would be willing to spend some of their money to hire tutors for their children? In addition, North China University of Finance and Economics was located in the suburbs of Zhongzhou City at that time. Most of the farmers who lived around were farming and vegetables, and it was rare to hire tutors for their children. Therefore, at North China University of Finance and Economics, tutoring work was hard to come by at the time. Unless it was an opportunity that suddenly found you, if you took the initiative to find a tutor job outside, ten of them would fail.

For Zhao Changfeng, at least from the moment, the road of tutoring is not feasible. So what else is there? It is nothing more than to go to the nearby street stalls to wash dishes. If Zhao Changfeng is in his ordinary identity, he will do the work of holding dishes and washing dishes. However, with Zhao Changfeng's current identity, he must not do the work of holding dishes and washing dishes. Think about it, Zhao Changfeng worked hard to create a situation that is so beneficial to him. Not only many leaders and teachers in the school know that Zhao Changfeng has a close relationship with a leader in the province, but there is a lot of news in the school

The classmate of Lingtong also knows that Zhao Changfeng is a very background. Now a person with such background and backstage suddenly goes to the food stall to wash dishes and make money. What will others think? Will people with real relationships and identities do such a job? If they attract the attention of interested people, go to Shanyang City to investigate his family background and immediately understand that he has nothing to do with Vice Governor Zhao! In this way, the situation Zhao Changfeng has worked hard to create may be wasted. The good work and good unit you expect during graduation assignment will also leave him.

Zhao Changfeng suddenly fell into a dilemma. When he went to a food stall to work, he would not have to think about the graduation assignment in the future. He would probably be assigned to a broken unit in a corner by the school. If he didn't work in a food stall, he would have to face the point of being in a pot without rice. Without a source of living expenses, wouldn't he starve to death immediately?
