Chapter 93: I don't want to be a squad leader
As soon as the new semester started, Hu Mingchen entered the fourth grade. I didn't see each other during a holiday, and the classmates got together, and naturally chattered endlessly.
"Hu Mingchen, what are you doing on vacation, I have come to look for you on the street three times, but your store is not open, and there is no one. Mao Feng leaned on Hu Mingchen's desk and asked with a smile.
"You are stupid, it's all on vacation, and there is no one in the school, who does he open a store to sell to?
"You're stupid, who knows if he'll get something else to sell. Mao Feng retorted with an unconvinced pout.
"You two just don't quarrel, it's buzzing, it's callousing. Worried that the two of them would quarrel over this little thing of his, Hu Mingchen raised his hands to block between them.
"It's just that now that the new semester has started, you're still concerned about the holidays, it's really boring. Hu Mingchen, do you still sell cards this semester?" Gu Xiaoqi gaged.
"Sell, why don't you sell it. Hu Mingchen replied as a matter of course.
"Then why didn't you see that your store was in stock? The store was not open, and I thought you were not selling. Gu Xiaoqi said.
The reason why they care about Hu Mingchen's business is actually equivalent to caring about their own welfare.
Since Hu Mingchen sold cards in business, the welfare of the three of them has been rising gradually, even if the conditions of Gu Xiaoqi's family are slightly better, they have been wiped out a lot. At least Hu Mingchen would spend a few cents from time to time to invite their guests.
Not to mention Mao Feng, his grandmother took cards from Hu Mingchen to sell, not to mention subsidizing the household, he could also get tips from his grandmother, and became one of the few "little rich" people in the school who could often have pocket money on him.
"School only starts today, the goods will arrive in the afternoon, and they can be sold tomorrow. Hu Mingchen replied.
Because Hu Mingchen was too busy during this time, he did not go to the city to pick up the goods in person, but entrusted Wang Zhan to deliver the goods to the station, and asked Hu Youling, the third child, to help bring them to Duge.
"What about you, what did you do during the summer vacation?" After Hu Mingchen answered Gu Xiaoqi's words, he asked them with concern.
"What can you do, just like Luo Zhizheng said, help the family do farm work, mow grass, herd cattle, feed pigs, carry coal, that's all. Mao Feng replied stupidly.
Luo Zhizheng nodded and agreed, indicating that his vacation was similar to Mao Feng's.
"Hey, my dad took me out on a long trip. Gu Xiaoqi said proudly.
"Where did you go?" asked Hu Mingchen curiously.
"Guess what, it's going to take the train. "Gu Xiaoqi, this guy also sold Guanzi.
"Fauer?"
"Gaoshan County?"
Luo Zhizheng and Mao Feng cooperated to guess two places, but the place they guessed made Gu Xiaoqi's pride wilt all of a sudden, and he was speechless, while Hu Mingchen wanted to laugh.
People are talking about going out of the distance, Fanger Town and Duge Township are next door, as for the county seat, it is not far away, even the county is not out, which is called going out of the door. Those two boys said that they were cooperating with Gu Xiaoqi, but it was better to say that they were inadvertently damaging him.
It's no wonder that Mao Feng and Luo Zhizheng, the two of them have not been out of Gaoshan County so far, and the so-called far gate does not have a practical concept for them.
"Went to the provincial capital?" Hu Mingchen saw that Gu Xiaoqi's eyes were about to pop out, so he also said a place.
"You two are Tu Baozi, are Fang Er and Gao Shan far away? Or Hu Mingchen has insight, and he can guess it. Gu Xiaoqi first despised Luo Zhizheng and Mao Feng, and then immediately showed a smile at Hu Mingchen: "Let me tell you, the provincial city is big, the houses there are so tall and high, I feel like they are almost in the clouds, the road is wide, it takes half a day to walk from here to there, and the cars on the road are dense, just like ants moving, I can't count them......
Gu Xiaoqi exaggerated the description of the provincial city in his eyes, which caused Luo Zhizheng and Mao Feng to have infinite reverie and yearning.
And when Hu Mingchen heard Gu Xiaoqi's exaggeration, he just smiled, which did not destroy his little satisfaction and vanity.
Hu Mingchen has been to the provincial town of Nannan many times and passed by many times, so he knows what Zhennan is like.
"Wow, Gu Xiaoqi, is what you said true? How could there be such a city, I thought that only the capital was like that. Mao Feng exclaimed enviously.
In the eyes of these mountain children, the only big city in the country that can make their impression is naturally the capital of the republic mentioned more than once in the textbooks. Except for the capital, the rest of the cities have no concept for them at all, they just think that the capital is the best and the largest, otherwise the chairman would not live there.
", can the capital be the same? The capital will be like the Jade Emperor in the sky. Luo Zhizheng said.
"Whether it's a provincial city or a capital, you can go there if you have the opportunity, go and see for yourself, and you'll know what it's like. Hu Mingchen said neutrally.
"My dad wouldn't take me that far, and he didn't have the money to take me to the big cities. Mao Feng said dejectedly.
"If your father doesn't take you there, won't you go by yourself? Study hard, and one day you will go to college in those cities, or go to work in those places. You can do it if you want to. Hu Mingchen encouraged.
"Go to college?" Mao Feng asked himself, and then shook his head: "With my grades, it is impossible to be admitted to university, and even if I am admitted, my family does not have so much money for me to study." ”
"You stupid, your grades are not good, I want you to study hard, there is no money for you to study, then you can earn your own money to study, no more, I will lend you money to study." How can you be so ambitious, and now it's only the fourth grade, so you are so disheartened, how despised it is. Hu Mingchen scolded.
In Duge Township, there are few children who aspire to go to any university, let alone university, and those who can be admitted to the city to go to high school every year can almost be counted on two hands.
Take Huangni Village as an example, in the past ten years, not a single college student has ever been out, and one of them went to the city to study at the teacher's college, which is already considered by the villagers to be very remarkable.
"I'm afraid I still can't. Mao Feng said dejectedly.
"I don't think I can either. Luo Zhizheng, who was sitting on the sidelines and listening, had no confidence.
They really feel that neither the university nor the big city is too far away for them, too impractical. To a certain extent, it can be understood as a general inferiority complex in the poor areas of the mountains.
Although Gu Xiaoqi didn't speak, his demeanor was no longer so arrogant and proud, and it could be seen that he didn't want to go to college or work in those places.
If it was before he was reborn, Hu Mingchen's thoughts would be similar to them, but as a human being, he would no longer continue to see himself as so small.
In the depths of Hu Mingchen's heart, whether it is a provincial city or a capital, it is not an unattainable existence, and he even wants to go abroad in the future.
The homeroom teacher, Ms. Ma Yi, did not give the students enough time to talk nonsense, and she soon appeared on the podium of the classroom.
At the beginning of the new semester, the class teacher will give the students a new expectation, and will also put forward some requirements to the students that do not seem to make much sense, for example: you will be a fourth-grade student from today, the fourth grade is already considered an upper grade in our school, and I hope you will not be as ignorant as the junior students in the first and second grades in the future...... And all that.
Actually, what's the difference between the third grade and the fourth grade, even if it's the fifth grade, it's still a primary school student, where will you really be sensible? In fact, there is not much difference between mentioning such a requirement and not mentioning it, and it will naturally change with the passage of time.
It's just that as a teacher, it seems impossible not to say this.
"You should have seen the final results last year, Hu Mingchen proudly won the first place in the class with a perfect score in two subjects, and it is also the first place in the grade. This new school year is about to have a new atmosphere, so I plan to reappoint the class cadres, and now I announce that the class leader of our class will be Hu Mingchen......"
Hearing that Hu Mingchen was the class leader, the classmates sitting around him reached out and patted him on the shoulder one by one, just like Hu Mingchen's class leader was also being the class leader.
However, Hu Mingchen did not show the slightest sense of excitement.
Psychologically, Hu Mingchen is not a primary school student in the real sense, and he doesn't care if he is a class cadre at all. On the contrary, he will also feel that the class cadres are a kind of fetters for him.
Hu Mingchen is not willing to chase after his classmates every year to collect homework, nor is he willing to do the kind of childish thing that maintains class order. His task at the moment is to spend as much time as possible on making money in business, in addition to selling cards, he will also do ginger's business next, where will he have time to deal with the trivial things in the class.
"Teacher Ma, can I not be the class leader?" Teacher Ma Yi was still talking on the stage, and when she paused, Hu Mingchen hurriedly raised his hand and said.
Now Mr. Ma has announced that it may be too late to refuse at this time, and if it becomes a fait accompli, it may be too late. Therefore, Hu Mingchen didn't care whether this was appropriate or not, and hurriedly expressed his position.
Hu Mingchen said this, Ma Yi was surprised, and the whole class was also surprised. There is a squad leader who is unwilling to do it, and this kind of thing has never happened before.
The leader of a class, what a glorious position, in charge of dozens of people in the class, some people want to be it, but the official hat is on his head, but Hu Mingchen wants to take it off.
I'm afraid this guy isn't crazy, right?
