Chapter 012: Wage earners
Staying alone in the room, there is nothing to do, there is no entertainment, the friends Gu Cheng is going to meet are scattered all over the county, it is impossible to find the door so recklessly, people will definitely treat him as a madman.
After thinking about it, Gu Cheng thought of a good way to make a name for himself and copy the book!
A big copy of the literati since ancient times! Gu Cheng didn't feel the slightest guilt, and the "Third Sprout National New Power Writers Competition" was in full swing right now, how could Gu Cheng miss such a good opportunity! Gu Cheng, who had made up his mind to make a name for himself in this competition, calmed down, sat down at the small table in the living room, and wrote his own article on three pieces of manuscript paper, because he had to cross out many words that were out of the times, he had to spend a day to complete it, and the new forces competition did not require any content, so Gu Cheng thought about it, or came to some in-depth articles, and simply wrote a manuscript about the economic trend of Huaguo in the new century, with a very atmospheric title -- "Huaguo, Forward!" 》
On September 11th, when class started on Monday, Gu Cheng sent the manuscript out at the post office on the way to school, waiting for good news!
It's just that Gu Cheng has been out of the student atmosphere for many years, and he can't hurry to the school, looking at the street scenery very fresh on the road, seeing the office workers who wake up in the early morning trying to hurry, when he enters the school gate, Uncle Wang, who is the gatekeeper, is very dissatisfied and teaches Gu Cheng a few words, perhaps, in the heart of the old man Wang, Gu Cheng, a kid who is belatedly walking on the empty road, must be a back-row errand student!
In the early morning, the morning light showed from the eastern sky, penetrating the dense branches and leaves of the locust tree and plane tree on the campus, hitting the ground and painting golden stones, the wind was blowing, and the sound of reading was wafting in every corner of the campus.
Although he is also a student, Gu Cheng feels like a passerby, these young boys and girls who study hard, laugh and play, are all far away behind a layer of curtains. As I walked, I compared it with my later memories, where it disappeared later, and where it was rebuilt again!
Wenwu Building is the name of the building in front of Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng stood in front of the five-story building and thought about the history of the school.
Shunshui Middle School, founded since the period before the establishment of China, to this year, is exactly 80 years old, that is to say, November 9, two thousand years, is the 80th anniversary of Shunshui Middle School! The middle school was founded by a famous general at that time, and the sculpture was still standing at the gate of Shunshui Middle School, so the school named the new building Wenwu. The implication is naturally very profound, and I hope that the students will have both civil and military skills in the future, and will not be biased!
In fact, the martial arts that Shunshui Middle School can measure are also good. Although it is located in a small county town and has a narrow location, the sports department of the middle school has won good rankings in a variety of competitions, and dares to compete with the high schools in the capital city of Northridge Province!
You can't set up a sculpture of the general in front of the building, so you can only follow the crowd, there are cookie-cutter sculptures in front of buildings all over China, and this one in front of Gu Cheng is no exception, it is nothing more than a woman, with a ribbon flying behind, a dove of peace in her hand, stepping on the red cornerstone with her bare feet, and looking ahead, those distant bright futures!
In fact, in the direction opposite the stone statue, in a few years, a magnificent hotel will appear, and the radiant lights will sweep around all day long, well, the content is self-evident, and the social atmosphere is so ruined!
None of this has anything to do with what happened to Gu Cheng at the moment!
When Gu Cheng walked to the door of Class 9, he saw the angry head teacher!
"Come with me to the office!" Wang Li threw down such a sentence and left Class Nine with high heels.
The office is located in another building, and the teachers work in one place! Gu Cheng followed Wang Li's ass all the way, enduring the curious schadenfrequencing eyes of the students along the road, after all, from Wang Li's expression in front, anyone could see that this kid in the back was going to be unlucky!
Wow! Crisp heels went up to the second floor and into the year group's office. The six or seven teachers inside were busy, and they were all a little surprised when they saw Gu Cheng, the freshmen were generally relatively well-behaved, and they could be called to the office by Teacher Wang in the second week, which could be regarded as naughty!
Walking to her desk, leaning on the edge of the table and not sitting, Wang Li clasped her arms around her chest, looking at the students in front of her angrily, she was absent from school for a day on Friday, Zhou said that she didn't come in the afternoon, and she was late for the new week, it was really lawless!
"Gu Cheng, what's the matter with you!" Wang Li scolded in a fierce voice.
Gu Cheng realized that the teacher's expression was wrong, and hurriedly transformed into an image of a good boy who bowed his head and admitted his mistakes, and said in a choked voice: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm late!" ”
"Why are you late? You say the reason, and, why don't you come to class on Friday, it's only been a week since the start of school now, you're like this, what do you think of other students!? Wang Li spat out a series of questions.
Gu Cheng raised his head and stared at Wang Li with his innocent eyes, his black eyes were full of tears: "It's all my fault!" I shouldn't be late, I shouldn't be absent! It was all my fault! ”
"Teacher, these days, I have been working in a restaurant, and I go to help people unload goods at night! I worked until two o'clock last night, and I really couldn't get up in the morning! I'm sorry! Gu Cheng explained sincerely.
"Part-time job!?" Wang Li was surprised and gasped: "How can you work at such a young age?" Homework is the most important thing, how are your parents-" Speaking of this, Wang Li suddenly stopped, and she suddenly remembered that Gu Cheng's parents were no longer there! The surrounding teachers are also curious, and students who use part-time jobs as an excuse are really rare!
"Hey!" Wang Li sighed: "You, don't you have any money?" There are no other relatives! After all, academics are the most important thing! ”
Gu Cheng shook his head: "I lived in my uncle's house in the countryside for two years before, and I have already caused a lot of trouble!" I have to earn my own money to support myself now! ”
Wang Li already believed Gu Cheng's answer, after all, Gu Cheng's previous grades were already okay, and he was able to be admitted to Shunshui High School seriously instead of coming in with money and relationships, he was a good student! I guess I wouldn't deceive myself like that!
"There's no other way? What kind of work are you doing now, and what about the time! Why don't you give you a few hundred dollars first? Wang Li asked with concern.
"I'm on my own!" Gu Cheng stopped Wang Li's drive, joke, even if there is really a crisis, this money has little effect, it can only delay time! After thanking Wang Li, Gu Cheng continued: "Teacher, no need! I have to take care of my own life in the future, and this is just the beginning! I try my best to adjust my work, and the uncle who works in the restaurant is also very good, saying that you can calculate the money by the hour! Basically, you only need to work half a day a day! ”
"Half a day!" Wang Li said worriedly: "How can this little time be enough, you know, high school courses are not as good as junior high school, and the first year of high school is the foundation of three years. ”
After listening to Wang Li's words, several young female teachers also nodded in agreement, at this stage, there are new knowledge professors every day, if the course is delayed, there will really be a big problem! In their opinion, working half a day and attending classes for half a day actually means giving up their studies, even in the end, what is the point of getting a high school diploma!
Gu Cheng nodded heavily, his expression of frustration and loss was distressing, and he slowly said, "I know what the teacher said, but I have no other way!" Now it can only be like this, one step at a time! ”
Wang Li no longer had the heart to teach Gu Cheng a lesson, nodded sadly, and said to Gu Cheng: "Then you go back to class first!" I'll report your matter to the school leaders to see if we can get some subsidies! ”
"Yes! Thank you, teacher! Gu Cheng bent slightly at Wang Li, and then walked out of the office!
