Chapter 91: Let's run, Gu Xiaobai!
Gu Xiaobai's family is actually not a scholarly family, on the contrary, his parents do not have too high diplomas, but entered the factory in their teens, and after being laid off, they started from practicing stalls and snack trucks, and walked into the catering industry step by step.
Only then did he raise Gu Xiaobai and raise Gu Xiaobai into a scholar.
Last year, Gu Xiaobai was admitted to Dongwon University, and he also got a scholarship from his high school alma mater and the education department of Xiaocheng.
The parents used the money they had saved for a lifetime, plus Gu Xiaobai's scholarship and loans, to finally buy a store of their own and open a hot pot restaurant.
It's just that now the economy is in a downturn, the catering industry is not in a recession, and the parents get up early and are greedy late, and they can only barely afford the loan, and there is almost no balance.
Especially in the summer, it is obviously steaming and smoky, but barbecue is particularly popular, and no one cares about hot pot.
It's not scientific!
Every time Gu Xiaobai comes home in the video, his parents report good news and not bad news, but Gu Xiaobai also sees it.
There are significantly fewer guests.
Unless the weather cools down in autumn, it is considered the peak season of hot pot, and this period can only be suffered.
Gu Xiaobai calculated the date, and there were five days left to repay the loan this month.
Gu Xiaobai stretched out his hand and returned the red envelope, it was not easy for my father to save some private money, and I don't know where to search for these more than 60 yuan.
As a result, the phone rang again, and it was my father calling.
"Why don't you want Dad to give you money?"
"I still have money to eat. Gu Xiaobai replied.
Isn't it just eating, you can eat the food of the fans!
Gu Xiaobai thought so.
"You can take the money if you give it, there is a passbook at home, and it will expire in two days, and I will give you money in two days." Dad said, "Don't be like others, thinking about working to make money, you just study hard for me, don't care about anything else, even if you learn to be 40 years old, Dad will support you!"
Our old Gu family is also going to go out of college to ask for home!
Gu's father is very proud.
"Hmm......" Gu Xiaobai replied sullenly.
"Study hard, you don't have to worry about anything else. Gu's father also hung up the phone.
In a small city hundreds of kilometers away, Gu's father hung up the phone, looked at the small shop, and sighed deeply.
"Lao Gu, I see that another chain hot pot restaurant has opened opposite. Gu's mother stood by the door and said sadly.
The economy is sluggish, and many people have poured into the catering industry, but this industry is already very difficult to do, and there is a group of people who grab food.
The couple watched the restaurants in this small town rise one after another, and then the excitement fell after two or three months.
But even so, there are still people who grab food and come in.
And the players entering the market are getting bigger and bigger.
For example, the chain of hot pot restaurants that opened this time has branches all over the country, not to mention the opposite of the small shop, which was extremely strong when it opened, and their advertisements were everywhere.
And, not just hot pot, they also run barbecue.
The activities are in full swing, so I am afraid that no one will come to my own small shop.
Take out the last savings and pay over the loan for the month.
And what about next month?
"Grandpa Fortune, you have pity on me, I still have to provide for my son to go to school, buy a house and a car for my son, and let my son be a college scholar......" Gu's father clasped his hands together and muttered a prayer.
Gu Xiaobai, who hung up the phone, was bored for a long time.
What should I do if I don't have money? What should I do at home?
The scholarship has to wait for a long time, and far water will not quench the thirst of the near.
Work-study is impossible, inefficient and time-consuming.
So what to do?
At this moment, Gu Xiaobai's shoulder was patted.
"Xiaobai, why are you in a daze?"
But it was Zhao Xingsheng who took Lao Wang to the third canteen to make up for the class, and when he saw his own Mu Ne student, who was in infinite scenery on the stage, Lao Wang really almost stared out his eyes.
Looking at Gu Xiaobai at this time, he was proud and happy.
My family is a little white, woo woo woo, I have grown up and have surpassed the teacher......
"Uh......" Gu Xiaobai looked at his phone and turned off the screen.
However, Lao Wang knew Gu Xiaobai too well, and when he counted the days, he suddenly smiled: "No money?"
"How do you know ......"
"I'm your teacher, besides, Lao Zhao said you bought this piano. ”
It's no wonder you can still be rich!
That's so good to guess!
Then Lao Wang smiled mysteriously: "Do you want to make extra money?"
"Huh?" Gu Xiaobai looked up.
"As long as you run a field with us, Lao Zhao will cover your living expenses this month!" Lao Wang patted Zhao Xingsheng's chest with his backhand.
Zhao Xingsheng: "......"
Why me!
"Xiaobai has been working for you for almost a month! Not Xiaobai, where did you get the heat and release?" asked Lao Wang rhetorically, like a debt collector who sold her own children to the contractor.
At this moment, Gu Xiaobai's mobile phone rang: "A new task has begun." Performance Branch: Running Performance. A musician can be called a musician if he can support himself with music. Successfully complete a running track to get the quest reward: The library system is activated. ”
"Isn't this just singing?" Gu Xiaobai suddenly gritted his teeth, and thought of the three days that he had been abused by the system to death.
Forget it, at night, think of some other way to study it to relieve the hatred in your heart.
......
In Lao Wang's laboratory, Gu Xiaobai, Zhao Xingsheng, and Lao Wang sat at the small conference table, as if they were studying some major topic.
"Xiaobai, this performance is at a wedding, and the guests are also quite special, you have no problem. ”
Although Gu Xiaobai had already agreed, Zhao Xingsheng was still a little hesitant.
After all, Gu Xiaobai, a casual performance, is a big scene, and the kind of fans are crowded.
Wedding performances are different, not only are there all kinds of guests, but they are definitely just supporting roles, and they are performing themselves, and others are eating and drinking.
Zhao Xingsheng was worried that Gu Xiaobai would feel that the price had dropped.
"It's okay, wedding gigs, I'm good at this. Gu Xiaobai replied.
"Very good at it?" Zhao Xingsheng didn't expect to get this answer at all.
Gu Xiaobai nodded.
But after I finished singing a song, the lord chased me out for miles and gave me a spicy man with a little lamb!
"What song do I want to sing?" Gu Xiaobai, who has 3 songs in the music library, asked like a former music producer who has been reborn through time and has a full music library.
"This ......" said what song to sing, Zhao Xingsheng was scratching his head again.
Didn't even settle the song? You still say me? Gu Xiaobai lost two white eyes.
Gu Xiaobai's wings hardened, and now he dares to despise his teacher.
"This is where the trouble is......" Zhao Xingsheng covered his face, "It's my little sister who is married, and the man is a businessman who is full of copper smell, my teacher doesn't like it, and he can't stop it...... And we're just a women's band, and we're here to fight with the team invited by the men......"
Just get married here, and still have a band battle?
Gu Xiaobai thinks that your circle is really messy!
Wait, it's like fighting a band, it's an old custom since the Spring and Autumn Period......
It's a hassle to get married.
"My teacher's man...... You also know that the master of domestic history and archaeology, the vision is also high, and the general song can't get into his eyes, this song can't be too festive, my teacher is holding his breath in his heart, he said that he is unhappy to marry his daughter, and he has to make the other party cry too......"
Zhao Xingsheng is worried.
