Chapter 32 Principal's Awards Dinner
Gu Yu couldn't have imagined that a student like her would also be rewarded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, she was rewarded not for her academic performance, but for what she did for her class. One of the most important deeds is the thirty-two pairs of yellow rubber shoes.
Liu Hong told her that she could comb her hair well at night, and she could put on light makeup appropriately, or she would be miserable and white under the lights, and she would not be photogenic.
Liu Hong also said that you have to prepare a short but formal acceptance speech, after all, thousands of students will see it, it is a live broadcast.
As soon as she said this, Gu Yu was a little nervous, she was so big, she was going to show her face? You won't have cramps then, will you?
In order to look good on TV, she really painted some light makeup and used Chen Guoguo's lipstick. Chen Guoguo also put her hair down, twisted small twist flowers on both sides, and then pinned a hair ornament that was said to be worth 600 yuan to the back.
"Alright, let's go and blind their dogs!" This is Chen Guoguo's appreciation for his work.
Gu Yu was a little embarrassed, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or heat, her face was flushed now. She reached out and touched the small hairpin on the back of her head, convinced that it wouldn't fall off, and went out the door.
The awards were presented in the faculty cafeteria, where there was a small decorated stage. Tonight's process is to eat first and then present the awards, and the live part is just the awards.
Gu Yu found her name on the table and found that she was sitting in class, and she felt a little more steady, but fortunately, everyone was an acquaintance.
Zheng Zheng is here.
Zhu Qi's family is here.
Han Boer and three Korean students also came.
Seeing them, Gu Yu was not nervous for a while.
Zheng Zheng sat on her left, and Zhu Qijia sat on her right. Han Boer sat across from her. The three Korean students sat between Zhu Qi's house and Han Boer.
Zhu Qijia asked, "Are you nervous?" β
Gu Yu pursed his lips and nodded, then shook his head again, as if he didn't do anything right. She saw that the focus of Zhu Qijia's eyes just now was her lips.
Zhu Qijia said again: "Look, Zheng Zheng is not nervous! β
Gu Yu looked at Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng always looked like he was not in the world, with his mouth open and his head up, as if he was looking at them, but that expression had nothing to do with the environment. Seeing him like this, Gu Yu was not nervous all of a sudden.
Zheng Zheng is very big, but he is wearing a narrow school uniform, and his whole person is like a rice dumpling that is tied tightly. And his skin was very white, so that his head looked like a handful of rice grains squeezed out of the palm leaves, white and shiny.
This guy really doesn't wash his hair! I don't wash my neck either! You can't see it below the chin and above the collar.
Although Gu Yu thought Zheng Zheng was funny, she still told herself, don't laugh at others, I heard that people are students with full scores in the Fermat International Mathematics Competition in their first year of high school. Now I have a perfect score in the Euclid math competition.
Obediently, think about it, that's not the first prize, that's a perfect score! As soon as this score came out, the first-class seniors in the third year of high school became much more humble.
Sure enough, in the next award ceremony, Zheng Zheng shined on the stage, and his award was personally presented by Chairman Norman Feng. Feng speaks not very fluent Chinese and said that the subject he feared the most when he was a child was mathematics, but his mother was disappointed because she was motivated to work hard to give her children better opportunities. Therefore, he has always been under a lot of pressure, so this discipline is a nightmare existence for him. But today, he personally handed out the certificate of the first prize in international mathematics to the students of his school, which is a great comfort to him. At this moment, he especially feels that doing education can get the glory and achievements that other careers do not have. Out of encouragement and love for the students with full scores, he personally rewarded Zheng Zheng with 10,000 yuan in cash.
Someone in the audience whistled, and Zhu Qijia took the lead in applauding Zheng Zheng.
"The next award is the Enthusiastic Public Welfare Award, and I invite Lu Guyu, a student from the second (4th) class of high school." The host, Qin Xiaoyan, spoke in Chinese and English.
Gu Yu was stunned and stood up.
"Tu girl, come on!" Zhu Qijia said in a low voice, and shook his fist at her.
All eyes were on her at the moment. There were dozens of students and teachers at the scene, and thousands of people behind the camera.
Zheng Zheng, who came down from the stage, passed by her, his lips moved, he didn't know what he said, anyway, Gu Yu felt dizzy, she couldn't react to anything.
Norman Feng stood in the center of the stage again, and he greeted Gu Yu warmly with open arms.
He hugged Gu Yu.
With such a natural hug, Gu Yu suddenly thought of his father.
"Gu Yu?" Norman Feng turned to Qin Xiaoyan and asked her what Gu Yu meant in Chinese culture.
Qin Xiaoyan paused, also a little confused. She is the secretary of the board office, but this question is a bit professional and obviously cannot be explained literally. Han Chao, the geography teacher in the audience, hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said to the entrance of the stage: "Gu Yu originates from the ancients' saying that 'rain gives birth to a hundred grains'. The arrival of the valley rain solar term means that the cold wave weather is basically over, and the temperature rise is accelerating. After the grain rains, the rain increases, and the cereal crops grow faster. β
"Oh! Good name, good name! Norman Von couldn't help but admire. After thanking Han Chao, he turned to Gu Yu and said, "This award was originally awarded by President Cao, but I snatched it. I want to see who the girl who washed the thirty-two pairs of shoes was? β
Gu Yu's face turned red when he brushed the ground. In her opinion, washing shoes is nothing, can't she just watch them be thrown in the trash without washing? In the past, when I was in Xiaopu Village, Brother Dashuo wore these shoes in spring and autumn, and they didn't throw away their broken shoes, and Aunt Yang Yezi would make up for them and take them out when she stepped on the mud. Aren't there always so many pairs of yellow rubber shoes on the windowsill at the root of the west wall?
"Gu Yu," the chairman asked kindly, "Why do you want to help the whole class brush their shoes?" β
"Iβdon't want to waste!" Gu Yu plucked up the courage to say.
"It's okay to waste other people's stuff?"
"No! No one's stuff should be wasted! Gu Yu replied resolutely.
"Good! Good! Good! Norman said three good things in a row. He turned to all the teachers and students, and then looked specifically at the filming staff.
"My dear students, the reason why I must present this enthusiastic public welfare award today is because Gu Yu is a practical person. I love the spirit of doing things, and I believe that when thirty-two pairs of dirty shoes are placed in front of us, most of us take a few steps back. But Gu Yu took on it and took on a responsibility that didn't belong to her. What kind of talents do we want to cultivate at Matilda International School? I don't know how many times I have said these words ..... international vision, national feelings, pioneering and innovative words, but students, without the spirit of hard work, everything is empty. What else can he not do if he can just bend down and do things regardless of the eyes of others? I recommend to you "Forrest Gump", do you understand it? Be simple-minded, work diligently, in fact, success is so simple! β
The audience burst into applause, and someone stood up. Norman's voice is palpably infectious.
Gu Yu tried to make himself look calmer. Chinese, getting carried away is a joke.
In fact, what surprised her more than excitement was that thirty-two pairs of shoes had so much meaning in the eyes of the big guys. She really, really just doesn't want to waste it!
"Gu Yu, I also want to give you a reward, it's my own, but I haven't thought about anything for you, you can mention it!" The chairman turned to her and asked.
Gu Yu was taken aback, isn't it time to give an acceptance speech? Why has this changed?
"Can I really mention ββ,?" In her heart, isn't the reward just giving money?
"Of course it's true!" Norman was sure.
"Soββ, can I keep that right? Because I didn't think it through. She was still embarrassed to withdraw the money. In her heart, what she thought of for a moment was to ask him to donate some money to the welfare home where Mai Mang and Mianmian might be. She didn't want to think about the past, but just now, she really thought so.
"Haha, remember to think about it before you graduate, I'm afraid to forget it after a long time." Norman had a great time tonight.
Qin Xiaoyan jokingly continued: "How can you allow you to forget the things you promised to the students, I will write it down on the memo for you in a while!" β
The audience laughed.
Now it's okay, there is no need to make an acceptance speech, Gu Yu was hugged again and walked off the stage.
She felt like her steps were floating.
Sitting in his seat, watching Zhu Qi's family go up and down, I don't know what award he won.
When the three Korean students came down from the stage, Gu Yu's mind cleared up, and he realized that they won the award because they worked hard to learn Chinese and volunteered to help Chinese students learn Korean and taekwondo. This award is called the "Cultural Envoy Award". β
In short, there are students walking up and coming down, and everyone is beaming.
The more awards there are, the more people are encouraged. Gu Yu felt that although she couldn't talk about raising her eyebrows, she could be considered to have stretched.
I have to tell my mother about this. And, of course, tell Dad too.
