Courier?Own?I only know so many people in total.,Who will send courier to yourself?

Gu Xiaoshi took the courier handed by his sister and looked at it carefully, it was a yellow thick leather envelope with the words DHL printed on the front of the envelope, of course Gu Xiaoshi didn't know that this was DHL's global express mail. The recipient column filled in is really his own name, Chinese, next to the name of the pinyin, the address is not wrong, the problem is the sending address, a long list of English letters, Gu Xiaoshi basically does not know, just understand the last word Switzerland, this is a mail from the Swiss Confederation, international express?

Gu Xiaoshi was confused, completely confused, "What the hell is it, open it first and take a look!" Gu Xiaoshi thought.

After thanking him and touching his sister's head, Gu Xiaoshi returned to the room and stared at the strange courier.

Pick up the envelope, thin, and tear it along the opening line, and inside is another envelope, a small one. Looking at this small black envelope, Gu Xiaoshi felt strange for no reason, a letter, who will send a letter now, people who know each other either call or send emails, and people who don't know know how to know their names and detailed addresses?

Gu Xiaoshi carefully looked at this small envelope, the small envelope was black throughout, and he could feel the texture of the paper when he touched it, and even smelled a faint woody fragrance. The opening of the envelope has the kind of lacquer seal that I have seen in the movie, which will only be used in the Western Middle Ages, and in the center of the front of the envelope, there is a golden imprint.

It's a shield-shaped mark, and underneath the shield are two crossed olive branches, which Gu Xiaoshi knows, and the flag of the United Nations is on it, symbolizing peace, and the two branches hold a shield, which is the kind of style that is wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, and in the middle of the shield is a world tree, on the left is a flying dragon, and on the right is a lion, both erect, and the front paws of the two animals are closed and each holding a sword-shaped weapon.

Speaking of the World Tree, Gu Xiaoshi learned about it inadvertently, it was a game that the fat man had played before, and there was this kind of tree-shaped pattern in it, Gu Xiaoshi happened to see it, and he asked casually, and the fat man told him that it was called the World Tree. The World Tree, also known as the Qiankun Tree, is what the people of Shenzhou like to call it, which originated in Norse mythology and is a huge tree whose torso makes up the entire world, hence its name. The boss in Norse mythology, the god Odin, killed the giant Ymir and grew a huge ash tree from Ymir's corpse, which is the core of the universe in Norse mythology.

Turning to the sides of the World Tree, the dragon is said to be the most powerful creature in both East and West, while the lion represents bravery and loyalty. A powerful existence defends world peace, it should mean this, Gu Xiaoshi guessed, but he didn't care much in his heart, this thing is not used to seeing it, foreigners like these, the black paper, the golden, the imprint with profound meaning, is completely high-end and atmospheric.

Carefully cut the lacquer seal with a ruler, there was nothing else, the letter paper was delicately folded into an envelope, but the color inside was not black, but a light yellow, the header and footer had a fixed style, and a paragraph of English was printed in the middle, Gu Xiaoshi read it, half of the words were not recognized, and he hurriedly picked up the English-Chinese dictionary, sorted it out for a while, and finally translated it word for word, the content of the letter was:

International Admissions Department

Augustus College

What the hell is this? This is obviously an admissions letter from such and such a college, but the question is, what does this have to do with yourself?

Gu Xiaoshi looked at the envelope in his hand blankly, the black letter paper was so exquisite, the golden mark was so luxurious, what is the Augustan Academy? I have never heard of it, even if there is such an academy, they are idle and have nothing to do, why do they want to send such a letter to themselves? I don't know what Augustus Academy is, or whether it is so far away from Europe and Switzerland, let alone any attention, this matter has nothing to do with my own eight poles, it is too unreliable, right?

This must have been sent by a swindler! Gu Xiaoshi came to a conclusion, these swindlers are really willing to pay the money, or as the saying goes: "I can't help a wolf if I can't bear to let a child trap." In today's society, there are all kinds of swindlers, all kinds of swindlers, with different skills, some of them deceive money, some deceive people, and some even kill people and money, but what is there to be deceived about themselves? There is really no money, but only one is a single person. Cheating is a technical job, it requires professionalism, and I don't do market research, the community is a place where birds don't lay eggs, the rich have long been extinct, and the rest is just food and clothing, the well-off are reluctant, what is there to deceive, really so hungry and unscrupulous, is it that mosquito legs are meat no matter how thin they are?

Gu Xiaoshi is not angry, nor rebellious, but the environment in which he grew up made him somewhat inferior, his family conditions are not good, he is busy all day long, so he can only solve the problem of food and clothing, whether to choose to continue studying, is still under consideration, let alone studying abroad, it is too illusory, far away.

Gu Xiaoshi's home is in the mountain city of Fuling District, the rolling river here around a bend, with the black water flowing to the east, although it is counted as a mountain city area, but from the real sense of the city center, there is still a long distance, more like a suburban county.

Gu Xiaoshi is a child of the factory and mine, the community of the home, originally belonged to a large factory, if the time goes back a few decades, this factory can definitely be regarded as a local star enterprise, the most glorious time, 30,000 employees, including their families, a total of 50,000 or 60,000, the annual output value is calculated in 100 million yuan. But in the late eighties, the factory did not keep up with the pace of the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, and gradually went into decline, and after more than ten years of decline, it could not hold on, and finally declared bankruptcy. After the subordinate employees were all bought out and laid off, and the workshop was demolished one after another, a huge piece of land left only the former living area. Don't underestimate the living area here, although the houses are old, but there are a lot of them, dozens of residential buildings are staggered and scattered, the old houses of red bricks, there are also later cement exterior wall houses, one by one are terraced and spread out, row upon row, quite spectacular, the supporting facilities here are quite perfect, community outpatient clinics, children's schools, vegetable markets, etc., although the sparrows are small, they are complete.

Gu Xiaoshi's father, rural hukou, his parents died early, no brothers and sisters, he was a veteran, changed jobs in the early nineties, was introduced, met his mother, and then got married. My grandparents were both employees of the factory, so I found some connections and helped my father find a job in the security department of the factory. A few years later, my grandfather died of illness, and the next year my grandmother died of depression because she missed her wife. At that time, the situation in the factory was already very sluggish, my father quit his job, went to the outside to make a living, before he was discharged from the army, he was a transport soldier, drove a liberation brand truck in the army, and had excellent driving skills, after leaving the factory, he helped a construction boss to drive, pulled some stone raw materials, and often ran night trains, hard work, but the income was good, and the life of the family could go on.

Gu Xiaoshi was born on New Year's Day of the new millennium, although his father was often not at home when he was young, as long as he came back, he would bring gifts to Gu Xiaoshi, a little snack, and a small toy. One of Gu Xiaoshi's favorite things to do when he was a child was to climb into the truck and be taken around by his father to play. 's mother is an ordinary and ordinary woman, who takes care of housework at home after being laid off, and teaches her husband and children. Gu Xiaoshi's childhood was full of laughter, although he was not rich, but he was happy.

This kind of life lasted until Gu Xiaoshi was 14 years old, when the state relaxed the family planning policy and allowed a second child, and the mother became pregnant. Although my father does not read much, he is diligent and can endure hardships, he is already the captain of the company's team, and his income is much higher, but he still goes out early and returns late, and once he runs a long distance, he can't go home every day. So the responsibility of taking care of the pregnant mother fell on Gu Xiaoshi, who had to go to class every day, do homework after school, and help cook and wash dishes and do housework, running in and out all day long, and the neighbors praised the child for being sensible and capable.

As the saying goes, "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky." "Just two months before my mother gave birth, my father was in an accident when his car overturned and fell into the river, and his bones could not be recovered. The sudden tragedy instantly destroyed this originally happy family, the mother was hospitalized in a coma on the spot, and she was pregnant again, so she almost couldn't be rescued. At this time, it was the third year of junior high school, and Gu Xiaoshi had to take care of his mother, so he had no choice but to take leave and drop out of school. It is such a community middle school, everyone knows the roots, and the school takes into account his family's situation and agrees to ask for leave and retain his student status. The mother's hospitalization lasted for more than two months, perhaps with God's blessing, she gave birth to a baby girl smoothly, and the mother and daughter were safe, but the family's savings were spent, and only a little was left. My mother didn't have a job, so she couldn't sit on the mountain, so she had to spend money to support her relationship, opened a door on the outer wall of the house, and went to great lengths to make a small shop to sell some cigarettes, alcohol and groceries to make a living.

Gu Xiaoshi went to school during the day, and when he came home, he had a lot of things to do, and he had to be busy until the shop closed before he had time to do his homework. There is a small supermarket in the community, and the prices of the goods in his small shop are certainly not comparable to those of the supermarket chains, in other words, they are not competitive at all. That is, the neighbors pity the mother and son, and they have a little bit of power to take care of the business. Of course, there is another important reason, Gu Xiaoshi can help move wine. The Shancheng beer sold by the shop is 2 cents more expensive than in the supermarket, and a box is 1 yuan 2. Gu Xiaoshi's "wine moving career" began, in fact, his strength is not great, at most three boxes at a time, but the strange thing is that no matter how much he moved, he never felt tired, his hands were not sore, his waist was not painful, and he once moved 140 boxes in one day.

That's it, I have been moving to today, moving to 18 years old, and moving to the college entrance examination soon.
