Chapter 51: Li Yang
I was a little confused about what he said about paying tuition, theoretically, after a week of study and today's words, he shouldn't think about going to school anymore, I looked at him and said: "If you insist on paying back your father's money, I can help you give it first, as for paying the tuition......" I paused: "I didn't say that I won't let you study, it's a good thing to study, and it's a good thing to like to study, but your current state is not suitable for studying, what tuition do you have to pay?" I found a vocational school in Sichuan on the Internet, I can learn coffee and bartending, the tuition fee is about 8,000 yuan a year, I pay the tuition for one year first, and then I study lightly in this year, and I will pay the tuition fees by myself in the future, do you think this will work?" I asked more suspiciously: "If you want to learn coffee and bartending, wouldn't it be better for you to learn it directly in the store?" and save you the money to pay tuition. He replied to me with some embarrassment: "Uncle Lin won't let me enter the bar, and don't you also say that if I learn outside, Master won't teach me all the skills." I laughed, and then said, "So you mean you're not happy with your current job as a waiter?" and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
I took out a pack of betel nuts from under the coffee table and put one in my mouth:" At the beginning, when I learned bartending with Lin, I also started as a waiter, and then finally I was able to enter the bar, I also thought I could learn to bartend, who knew that I had to take a knife to cut the fruit first, cut the fruit for more than three months, in order to contact those bartending equipment, you don't know, when I first picked up the wine measuring device, that joy, who knew that Lin told me that I had to recognize the wine first, I memorized, rote memorization, memorized the wine in the store, the wine name, the year, the place of origin, the country of origin, the raw materials, the production process, the taste and a series of wine knowledge, at that time, the six base wines in the store, each of which basically has six or seven brandsThere are three or four wines in each brand, such as Glenfiddich, 12 years, 15 years, 18 years, 21 years, the taste and smell of each vintage, you have to memorize, and even some more expensive wines, such as the royal salute that you go to Hi Bar, even if it is the cheapest twenty-one years, we have to wait for a guest to open it, and then call it a day at night, I have to take the empty bottle that the guest has drunk, to sniff, smell it, and I have to taste the remaining two drops, taste its taste. ”
Li Yuanxi asked curiously: "Then what about later, you learned?" I shook my head: " How can it be so easy, I wanted to learn bartending with him, I thought it was handsome, bells and whistles, and later I learned that it was called flower blending, which is the so-called fancy bartending, and then, after I learned, I was no longer interested in those bells and whistles, a wine, give you the formula, even if you adjust according to the formula, the taste may be different, for example, the alcohol of some liqueurs has evaporated slightly, the taste will change, you have to use a bar spoon to dip a little, put it in the tiger's mouth to taste, this is called seasoning, a wine is the same as a dish, the same pay attention to color and aroma, and do these to the most extreme in their own opinion, that is made of British blending, is British bartending, and you uncle and meIn the end, I think that the English tune is the most suitable for me, so I don't continue to study the flower tune. He asked again, "Then do I learn English or flowers?" ”
I laughed again: "You are far away, I mean, in fact, you have to learn bartending, not how much tuition you pay or where to learn, as long as you have enough knowledge of wine management, many things can be studied by yourself, you are now a waiter, I feel very unconvinced, but if you have your own shop in the future, you also have to learn to deal with customers, isn't this what waiters do?" he nodded as if he had an understanding, and I continued: " Okay, you should go back to sleep, you have to go to work tomorrow, and you and your Aunt Luo Luo will also sleep. He nodded, stood up, and left.
Luo Luo came to me with his mobile phone after seeing Li Yuanxi leave: "Look at you, diving in this place seems to be fun, let's go here next time." I looked at her excitedly, she didn't seem to notice my expression, still swiping her phone: "Look at this coral, eh, and look, is this called a clownfish, I remember seeing it in which cartoon when I was a child." I suddenly hugged her waist and said, "Okay, let's go here." ”
Rollo got out of class, I picked her up, and the car was driving farther and farther away from the city, and she asked, "Where are we going?" and I turned to her and smiled, but didn't answer. The car got farther and farther away from the city, to Yaoshan, our car drove all the way up along the ring road, and soon arrived at an abandoned farm, I parked the car at the farm, walked to the trunk and took out two large backpacks, and walked towards Rollo, Rollo got out of the car, I smiled and said to her: "Have you tried camping?" She shook her head: "No, are we going camping tonight?" I put down my bag and locked the car: "Are you afraid?" She hugged my arm and looked at me: "Don't be afraid, you are not afraid." ”
We went back from the farm, there was a path through it, and along the path, we came to a very large lawn, and after that, there was a slope, and below the slope was a river, and we set up camp on the lawn and made a fire. As night fell, we lay in front of the tent, looking at the stars in the sky, she was lying in my arms, I kissed her hair, mixed with the scent of grass and earth, she suddenly sat up, looked at the blazing fire and asked, "Why are you thinking about camping tonight?" I looked at her and smiled, "Haven't you heard those stories about me yet?" She looked at me and smiled even sweeter: "You don't want to say, I naturally don't want to ask, if that makes you sad, then I will give you sweetness in the future." I smiled, lowered my head, and spoke slowly.
Li Yang, 99 points in Chinese, 100 points in mathematics, 98 points in English, ranked second in the grade. As the teacher read out the scores, there was a burst of exclamations from the students around me, and for me, it would determine whether my mother's scolding would be 30 minutes or two hours, and whether I would stay for one day or two days off in the next year.
That's right, my name is Li Yang, and I study in the fourth grade of the third primary school in Lipu County, in this remote small county, almost everyone thinks that reading is the only way out, but in this small county, it seems that the truth is really like that. My mother was always very strict with me, so strict that I felt like I would never do anything that really felt right for them.
"What's going on, what's the second grade, I'll see...... How is the language only ninety-nine, how is the composition score deducted, the math is okay, why is the multiple-choice question in English wrong, although I can't understand English, but I can still understand it, the family is already difficult, I still spend so much money every year to send you to cram school, am I easy, your father is not angry, he gets a dead salary all day long, and he doesn't do anything when he comes back, just spread out on the sofa and read the newspaper, I go to work and take care of this home, do you think I am willing to work so tired, it's not for you two, you can fight for me。 "Predictably, my mother always thought I was the best, and I could understand that she was proud of me when she had nothing.
"Ouch, children, it's always going to be careless, you see it's not the second grade, the teacher said when I had a parent-teacher conference, this time the paper was revised strictly, and no one could get a full score on the essay, and it was already very good to be deducted from only one copy, so be satisfied. Go back to your room and do your homework, and be serious next time. Dad winked at me after speaking, and I knew that he was still quite righteous.
"You're embarrassed to say that my son is spoiled because of you......" I quickly slipped back to the room under the cover of my father, and the chatter was blocked by my eardrum as the door closed.
Sometimes I wonder what my mother wants me to be, and I can't find the answer, and I don't know if the day I find the answer will be what she expects or what she doesn't like. I still don't have a clear idea of what I want to become.
I never have so many questions, I only ask, why do I do this problem, is there any other solution, so that why do I study so hard, why do I read so many books, why do I have a high degree of education, these so-called future questions, etc., I have never thought so much and puzzled, it seems that my road has been paved early, study hard, get a high education, find a good job, marry a good daughter-in-law, and have a good boy.
"Today's homework we leave is only one essay, come, everyone look at the blackboard, this is our essay topic today, "My Dream". Tomorrow morning, before the morning reading, the class representative will help collect it. Okay, that's all for today's class, let's get out of school, everyone go home and stay safe. "As soon as I heard the end of school, every classmate was like a clockwork machine, pulled out the schoolbag that had been packed from the drawer and rushed out of the classroom, in an instant, only me and two or three scattered classmates were left in the classroom with their schoolbags alone, not that I didn't want to make friends, but they all thought that good students like me should not have friends, because they all love to play, love to go to the playground after class, and I am doing problems in the classroom, reading, only in the few physical education classes that have not been occupied by the teachers of various subjects, I can talk to a few of them think I am with them"Like-minded" students talk about various Olympiad topics.
Every time after school, we have to stay for free tutoring, every time we go home, it's already past six o'clock, and I go home every day in order to be fast, will walk a sparsely populated road, but it seems that there are always some undeserted paths, when passing by, there will also be three or three classmates also passing by, and in addition to us, there are two kinds of people who often appear on this street, one is the grandfathers and grandmothers who sit at the door in the summer and sit at the door to enjoy the cool in the winter, and the grandfathers and grandmothers who sit at the door together in the winter, and there is also a group of aunts and sisters who we don't know why they are standing at the door chatting and smoking, why they smoke, why girls smoke。 Every time we pass by the group of aunts and sisters will point at us and smile, I don't understand what they do, I just think they are not good people, under the teaching of my mother, smokers are not good people, in my cognition, except for my father, smokers are bad people, such as the boss of the school commissary, he always has a cigarette in his mouth, a mouth is disgusting yellow teeth, always want to use that circle of hair is also scarce to cover the top of the head with no hair at all, sometimes secretly sell cigarettes to seniors, and often send candy to school girls to eat, and then slap their butts, they have done nothing wrong, why do they spank them。
