Chapter 224: Returning to School
The meeting in the early hours of the morning was finally over, and the army chief walked to the end, and when everyone else had already walked away, he came behind Prime Minister Amber Jinsan, "Prime Minister, I invited you to my house as a guest the night after tomorrow, I heard that you are very fond of Chinese antiques, my ancestors handed down a blue and white porcelain vase of the Chinese Yuan Dynasty, I heard that you are an expert in this area, and I would like to invite you to appreciate it together while being a guest." ”
In fact, the meaning is already obvious, this time the matter can be said to be a big thing, no one can carry it, and just now the prime minister obviously gave him a step down and asked him to throw this black pot out, this is to win him over, if he doesn't know what to do, then he is a mallet. So hurry up and present the family heirloom Yuan blue and white porcelain vase as a gift for Amber to help him pass the customs this time, which is also a sign of loyalty and refuge.
Anbei Jinzo also understood what the army chief meant, and the gift and refuge were also in his hands, in line with his original intention of winning over military figures, so he stopped and turned back and said: "Yo Xi! I have long heard that your wife was a flower in Kanto back then, and I can finally taste the food she cooked." You can also admire your heirlooms by the way. Very good!" he turned around and left.
Hearing this, the army chief was really in a cold sweat, and thought to himself, "It seems that this old fellow has taken a fancy to my young and beautiful wife, what should I do? Is it to offer his wife's hands as capital to take refuge in him? Alas!
Just when the army chief of Riben was still entangled, Zheng Xudong, who was in the magic capital, had already fallen asleep, and as usual, he was studying while sleeping, and now he has begun to systematically learn various music knowledge and musical instruments.
After more than 20 days abroad, he finally went home and slept in his own bed, and he slept so well that he felt that even if he stayed in the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab Hotel and the palace suite of the Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, he was not comfortable lying on his own bed.
He woke up on time at six o'clock in the morning, put on a set of sportswear and started to run, ran for more than an hour, and came to the breakfast stall in the morning market near his home again, "Uncle Liu, bring me three drawers of meat buns, a big bowl of soy milk, and a small dish of salted cucumbers." ”
Uncle Liu saw that it was him and said enthusiastically: "Okay! Xiao Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you gone?"
"I went on a vacation to travel, and when I came back, didn't I come to you for breakfast! Hurry up, I'm a little hungry." Zheng Xudong returned to his old neighbor and felt very kind.
In three or two minutes, the hot buns were served, and they were still brought up by Uncle Liu's girl, Liu Mei, and put them on the table, "I haven't seen you in the past few days, your amount of food has risen!" After speaking, he turned his head and shook off the big whip and left.
Zheng Xudong didn't care about the girl's attitude towards him, picked up a meat bun with chopsticks and put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Hmm!" A piece of fat from the bun dripped down the corner of his mouth. "Yes, that's the taste! The pork is fat and thin, and the bite is full of oil, fragrant!" After eating two large buns, I had time to eat salted cucumber strips and drink a large mouthful of soy milk.
After returning home and taking a cool shower, he changed into a blue T-shirt, a pair of cropped pants, and a pair of sneakers. Before going out, I called Sister Liu, a part-time worker at my house, and asked her to come to the house today to clean up, after all, there has been no one living in it for more than 20 days, and the packaging of those things brought back from abroad yesterday also made a mess in the living room. It just so happened that Sister Liu said that she had something to tell him today, and she would wait for him to come back at home. Zheng Xudong thought that it shouldn't be a hurry, otherwise he would have said it on the phone, so he didn't care.
After leaving the community and getting on a bus to the school, he thought to himself, "There are at least nearly 700 vehicles of all kinds in my space, but I can't drive them, and there is a Kaibaihe Battle Shield in the garage, which can only be parked there, is there a stranger who is more tragic than himself? How can I get a driver's license?" This matter is in the hands of the police, he knows a policeman, that is, the anti-narcotics policeman Huang Dingguo of the police headquarters, but when he thinks that he wants to introduce his girl to him, he is tired of it, and then there is to help him solve the drug case, pay too much, the return is too small, the big deal is that he can hire another driver, and save trouble, anyway, there are less than two years. ”
The high school he studied was four or five stops away from his home, and he got off the bus and crossed two roads to their school-Modu Zhiqiang High School, and after crossing the road, he saw a banner above the school gate, which read, "Warm congratulations to Zheng Xudong, the top student of the high school in the Magic City Liberal Arts", he just arrived at the school gate and got the congratulations of the doorman Lao Xia, and then the teachers who passed by him were also congratulating him.
His class is the third and fourth class of high school, an ordinary class, which is neither an experimental class nor a top class, and he sits in his seat in the penultimate row after coming to the class. At this time, the classmates in the class all came to him to congratulate him, these students who are not usually enthusiastic at this time showed unusual enthusiasm, one by one as if they were old friends who have been dating for thirty or forty years, hooked their shoulders and said that they would let him have a treat, he sent these classmates away with a few perfunctory words, thinking "usually one by one as if he didn't exist, now I want to get along." ”
may have heard other teachers say that they came to school, and the head teacher Song Wencheng appeared in the classroom two minutes after he entered the classroom, stood in front of him with a bright smile and said: "Xiao Zheng, you are here, you have achieved such a result, and it is not in vain for me to train you." The volume of his words was so loud that everyone in the corridor could hear it, "Which university are you going to apply for, or I will introduce you to a university, how about it?" Modu University of Finance and Economics, this is a famous university! When you get there, you can choose your major, how about it?" He introduced so enthusiastically because the teacher in charge of the admissions of Modu University of Finance and Economics promised him that as long as he let Zheng Xudong go, he would give him a reward of 10,000 yuan, so Song Wencheng spared no effort to introduce.
Zheng Xudong stood up, waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said: "Teacher Song, in the past three years, I know what you have done to me, and as for which school I apply for, I also know in my heart, so I won't bother you, okay?"
Song Wencheng listened to his words, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed at him with his finger, "You, you, you... Is this the attitude of talking to a teacher? Do you really think that a good score in the exam is a big deal? Hmph! Do you know how many top students in the college entrance examination in China are now selling pork, sweeping the streets, and even squatting in prison?
I was going to continue, when the teaching director appeared at the door of the class just in time to hear Song Wencheng's words, and said, "Teacher Song, pay attention to your teacher!" After speaking, he glared at him, and then changed his smile to Zheng Xudong and said, "Zheng Xudong, Principal Shen is waiting for you in his office." ”
Zheng Xudong said, "It's coming." Then he walked out of the door, and whispered when he passed by Song Wencheng: "I am in charge of my future, and you don't have to worry about what it will become." Regardless of Song Wencheng's white face and red for a while, he walked towards the principal's office with the teaching director.
On the way to the principal, the dean of education congratulated him on his exam results and congratulated him on becoming the top student in the Magic City College Entrance Examination, and he also politely said "Thank you!"
Came to the door of the principal's office and knocked on the door, after hearing "please come in", he pushed the door in, a middle-aged man in his fifties, but his hair was already gray, sitting behind the desk, wearing a pair of glasses and looking at the document, saw Zheng Xudong come in, took off the glasses and put them on the table, and stretched out his hand to let him sit on the chair opposite his desk, "Zheng Xudong, please take a seat, first congratulations on your good results and becoming the first college entrance examination liberal arts champion since the establishment of our school, congratulations!" As he spoke, he got up from his chair and held out his hand to shake him twice before they sat down.
Zheng Xudong is grateful to this principal from the bottom of his heart, because when his family suffered great changes two years ago, it was this principal Shen who sent school teachers to help him take care of his parents' funeral, and also provided some legal aid in terms of compensation, so that he would not be a young man to face this.
His father taught him, "Receiving a little water in return, should be reciprocated with a spring", so he said: "I haven't had time to thank the principal for helping me deal with family affairs in the first two years, this time I took a trip abroad after the exam, mainly to the United States to open my eyes, don't you always educate us to travel thousands of miles, this time I have traveled more than 10,000 miles, and I brought you a small gift when I came back, I hope you can accept it." As he spoke, he took out a slender red flannel from his pants pocket (space) and stood up and handed it over, "This is the student's filial piety to the teacher, thank you for cultivating me over the years!"
Principal Shen took the small box handed over by Zheng Xudong, opened it without paying much attention, and saw a gold pen lying in the box, at first he thought it was an ordinary gold pen, but when he saw the word "Montblanc" engraved on the pen, his hand shook, and he quickly grabbed the box and said, "Student Zheng, your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it." Even though he said that, he still clutched the small box tightly in his hand.
Zheng Xudong said solemnly: "Principal Shen, this is a gift from a graduating student to thank you for your cultivation over the years and your help after the accident at my house in the first two years, I hope that in the future work, when you see this fountain pen, you can think of you and me, a student, I hope you will accept it." ”
Principal Shen was really emotional at this time, thinking to himself, "Why didn't you find out such an excellent student who can talk earlier, is this still a student, it is even better than some of my subordinates who can speak, this son will have unlimited achievements in the future!" "Since you say so, then I'll take it, yes, when I write in the future, I can remember that I have an excellent student, ha... My heart is very comforted, my heart is very comforted!"
He is knowledgeable, this Montblanc fountain pen has been seen in Lane Crawford on Huaihai Middle Road, the price is four nines, he is reluctant to buy it, he didn't expect this student to be so generous, "Alas!
The fountain pen was purchased by Zheng Xudong when he was shopping at the Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, and the price in the hotel was $699, and he bought 10 at a time, just to keep it and give it away. It seems that this pen has "died" to its place.
After carefully putting the pen on the desk, Principal Shen started the last topic, "Student Zheng, you are now the top student in the college entrance examination in the magic city, which university do you want to apply for? ”
Zheng Xudong thought to himself, "In the world, money can really make grinding ghosts!"
