Chapter 40: Knowing the face but not the heart
Fang Fatzi from Baoding Middle School applied for the position of deputy director of the tourism bureau at the deputy section level, while Nishino applied for the position of deputy director of the publicity department according to his professional expertise.
Other teachers in the school can't apply for the exam because of the restrictions of the first degree, and most of them go to the nearby Mr. Chi and Mr. Jack's house to play mahjong or honor cards after class to pass the time, and the number of wins and losses is not very large, and most of the cards are less than 10,000.
Nishino doesn't want to sink like this, and rarely participates in these "illegal activities", mainly because there is less than a month left for the minor exam, and it's too late to read!
"Deputy Minister, what kind of books do you read, do you want to go to Mr. Chi's house to play a few games of mahjong?" Luo Yuanai was idle and knocked on Nishino's door.
"Chairman Luo, you can't call it that before the exam results come out, once you don't get in, others will laugh off your big teeth." Whether he can be admitted to the deputy department, Nishino is not sure at all.
"Soon to be the deputy minister, Professor." Luo Yuanai sat on a rattan chair with Erlang's legs crossed, smiling.
"This deputy section-level civil service exam can be said to be nine deaths and one life, oh no, it should be ninety-nine deaths and one life. When I went to apply for the exam, I was only given a 200 yuan registration fee. β
"There is green smoke coming from your ancestral grave, bless you for passing the exam." Luo Yuanai knocked the melon seeds on the side, and kept tapping his fingers on the chair, "Look at Fang Fatzi, don't you take the deputy director exam at the card table every day?" β
"His eldest brother works as a secretary in the Municipal Party Committee Office, and he has already gotten the recruitment information, and he is much more prepared than me, so he is naturally confident."
"I have a hunch that one of the two of you will pass the test."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Baoding Middle School is a place where talents are produced, and I have taken several graduate exams in the first two years. Some township cadres have also been admitted to the ......"
"They are them, I am me. The success of others does not mean that I will succeed, and the road to success cannot be replicated. Nishino closed the book, "Playing mahjong will not be accompanied." β
"Professor, read a hairy book, I heard that this exam is all about luck, it's better to touch a few thirteen." Niu Ying came in chewing betel nuts, "Three missing one, Teacher Chi has called a few times."
"Brother Niu, I'm going to go to you, I don't want to waste time at the poker table." Nishino directly refused.
"Alas, entertaining." Luo Yuanai put away all Nishino's books.
It seems that it is impossible for Nishino to continue reading. If you don't go, it's too faceless, so you have to get down: "I'll make a table for you, and I'll retreat if someone replaces me!" β
Under the push and shove of Luo Yuanai and Niu Ying, the three walked out of the school gate. A scalper sits in the middle of the road, standing still. No matter how much they shouted, the scalpers did not move a step. Luo Yuanai broke a branch on the side of the road to drive away the cattle. Unexpectedly, the frightened scalper suddenly ran up and rushed forward.
After turning a corner, Mr. Gu Juji came over on a silver steel motorcycle, and when he saw the cow coming straight in front of his eyes, he immediately panicked, swayed from side to side, and didn't know how to step on the brakes, but increased the accelerator and hit the scalper.
"You dead cow, don't dodge it quickly-" Seeing that he was about to hit the scalper, Gu Juji realized the danger, braked urgently, the car turned off, and finally stopped the car, fortunately it was on a flat road, otherwise the car would really overturn people.
The scalper didn't mean to stop at all, so he stood in front of the car and raised his head to Gu Juji and shouted "moo" a few times, before slowly walking past the car. Gu Juji restarted the motorcycle, the scalper turned around coldly, and the horns hit the tail box of the car a few times, and the defenseless Gu Juji even led the car to the ground on its side, unable to climb up. The cow actually a soak of urine on the side of the car, then barked triumphantly twice, raised its hooves and ran as fast as it could, with dust flying behind it.
"Gu Zai provokes Gu Zi, Gu Zi scares Gu Zi-" Luo Yuanai laughed and slipped a sentence in passing.
"I'll kill you, don't come and help me up!" Gu Juji was so angry that he vomited blood.
Niu Ying trotted over and helped Gu Juji's silver steel 150 up: "Your two horn hairs can't be used to scare the grub, hehehehe......"
"Niu Yin, my day!" Gu Juji's face was flushed, and he spewed out a mouthful of wine.
"Gu Zai, I'm drinking high again! I don't know how to stop when I see the cow, and I still fight with your brother. "Luo Yuanai deliberately angered Gu Juji.
"You're dirty, and all that's coming out is! Brother dung dirty head-" Gu Juji replied to Luo Yuanai with the strength of wine, so "* Ryutaro" Luo Yuanai has a new nickname.
"Gu Zai, go to Chi Laoqi's house to drink two cups of oil tea to sober up." Nishino wants Raku Jukichi to go and pad his back.
"You have to win-" Gu Juji played cards badly, and he lost every time, nicknamed the "Lost Deboi Lohu" in the style of Rous.
When I arrived at Mr. Chi's house, his wife was cooking a large table of dishes: "Teachers, Mr. Chi knows that you are going to come over to play, so I specially instructed me to prepare and sit down to drink a few cups with Mr. Chi." β
"Sister-in-law is so polite, we have all eaten." Luo Yuanai, who has always been good at drinking and greedy for glasses, cooperated with Gu Juji and hurriedly stopped.
"Hey, don't ramble, sit downβ" Mr. Chi said as he poured the wine.
"I'm so sorry, I'm always here to trouble you." Niu Ying continued to be polite.
"The food in the cafeteria is not good." Teacher Chi distributed dishes and chopsticks to everyone, "Besides, if I have something to do, you will substitute for me, this wine must be dropped!" β
"Teacher Chi, I have a little stomach discomfort and can't drink." Nishino wants to escape.
"You are a big fool, one teacup in one sip, you can dry ten teacups of wine in a row, and your stomach is bad!" Naturally, Mr. Chi will not let Nishino go.
"I'm going to give Master a face tonight anyway, Professor." Gu Juji was the first to pick up the wine glass and swallowed the wine in one gulp, "There are no empty glasses on the table." β
"It's really not good...... Nishino was afraid to drink medicinal wine, and when he smelled the smell of epimedium and his stomach turned over unnaturally.
"Then dry this cup of medicinal wine first, and then change to white wine. Luckily? Professor. Mr. Chi made a concession.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Mr. Chi has spoken, and you can't drink it." Nishino sat down, closed his eyes and drank all the medicinal wine.
Everyone sat around, you came and I went, drank for about an hour, the cups and plates were messy, and Mr. Chi's mother-in-law cleaned up the mess: "You guys play slowly, I'm going to work at the power station." β
"Sister-in-law, go slowlyβ" Gu Juji staggered to his feet and slammed into the edge of the table.
"Sit down, sit." Niu Ying took Gu Juji's hand.
"Niu Yin, I don't sit. Be comfortable standing. Gu Juji teased Niu Ying.
Teacher Chi uncovered the table and poured mahjong: "It's good to startββ"
"Hee, hee, hee......" everyone rubbed the mahjong tiles, and within two minutes, the four-section three-layer "Great Wall" was built.
"Hey, you're fast enough!" Fang Fatzi and Liu Xiaofeng came in.
"Comrade Chicken, you come to play mahjong, and Gu Juji and I will go to play cards." Niu Ying gave up her position to Liu Xiaofeng.
"Niu Yin, I am Xiaofeng, not a chicken." Liu Xiaofeng said.
"You said it yourself, the phoenix is also a chicken, and the chicken is also a phoenix, Liu Xiaofeng, Liu Xiaoji. Haha-" Fang Fat grinned.
"Fat man is fat, playing mahjong, and he doesn't admit it when he loses money!" Liu Xiaofeng threw a dice.
"Dead chicken mouth, I don't lose if I don't play mahjong." Fang Fatzi took out a deck of cards from the drawer of the mahjong table and went to the hall, and the slightly drunk Niu Ying and Gu Juji also followed.
On the mahjong table, Liu Xiaofeng, Teacher Chi, and Luo Yuanai square autumn colors, pair of touches, all the same colors, and Xiaoqi take turns to sit in the village, and the West Field bar has not opened one, and there is not much left of the hundreds of yuan in change.
"Niang Xipi, the evil sect is evil, and there is no harmony. Pound it! Nishino lit a cigarette, and his hand was monotonous south wind, and he was happy in his heart, thinking, "This card will not come if it doesn't get along." β
Nishino only touched it three times, and the south wind arrived: "Little seven pairs-"
"I don't have change."
"I don't have ...... either"
"I owe a handful first."
Seeing that the other three didn't give cash, Nishino was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the toilet." Wait a minute. More than a dozen hundred-dollar bills on his body were also left in the drawer.
Out of the hallway, Nishino looked into the hall, but it was empty. Nishino wondered: "When will the brand field be withdrawn?" β
Nishino stayed in the toilet for less than three minutes, and when he returned, the room of the mahjong table had been locked, and the three players had already dispersed.
"Mr. Chi, open the door for me. I still have more than 1,000 yuan in cash to takeβ" Nishino knocked on the door.
"I don't have the key, you can get it tomorrow......" Teacher Chi replied in the house, without opening the door.
"No, it won'tβ"
"Not really!"
Knowing that Mr. Chi had a ghost, Nishino had no choice, so he left Mr. Chi's house and couldn't sleep all night, which was two months' salary!
At six o'clock the next day, Nishino didn't wash his face, and went directly to Mr. Chi's house, and the mahjong door opened.
Nishino walked to the place where he sat last night, empty: "Mr. Chi, who took my money?" β
"I don't know!" Mr. Chi replied while brushing his teeth, "I didn't take it." Why don't you ask Luo Yuanai and Liu Xiaofeng? β
"No need, it's a big deal to give someone someone two months of work for nothing. I'm goneβ"
"Let's have breakfast and then go to school."
"Thank you, I can't eat it." Nishino went back to Baoding Middle School without looking back.
Nishino kicked a stone away: "I'm, partnering to bully me, I don't know my heart." Lao Tzu will never touch mahjong again, and must escape from Baoding Middle School. β
"Dingdong ......" Suddenly, Xiye's mobile phone rang, it was He Yan, who was panicking aggrievedly, and answered the phone: "Early in the morning, what kind of call are you calling?" β
"My dear, my stomach hurts a lot these days, and I can't eat......"
"If you can't eat it, don't eat it, go to the hospital for a check-up."
"How do you talk, I'm your wife."
"Hmph, what about my wife? When you're sick, you remember me, don't you? When you are not sick, what are you and me? β
"Haven't I been changing? I quit a lot of business dinners and stayed at home to raise flowers. You haven't been back for half a month......"
"Is it useful to come back? It's not like each of them sleeps in their own beds. β
"It's because you don't want to be affectionate and fight a cold war with me, no wonder I."
"Cold War? The thought of you being one with that obscene knife makes me lose interest. β
"Knife Chief, he ......"
"What is he? Say! Second grandmother He Yan! β
"I'm innocent, not as filthy as you think. Who did you listen to say, I am the mistress of the sword unification? β
"There's no need to tell you. Where did you get so much money from? What's going on with that bag* in the bathroom? β
"Trade Secrets...... No comment. β
"Early in the morning, don't you shout? Aunt Aunt's son got married on Saturday, and when you come back, I'll talk to you slowly? β
"Don't talk about it on the phone, it's time to study early!" Nishino unconsciously walked to the gate of Baoding Middle School, huffing.
"He Yan, I've been married to you for a few months, and I can't find the feeling of home. Zhou Hongying gave me a home, but now I don't know where it is? Nishino leaned on a tree in frustration, chanting words.
"Where there is a job, there is no home, and where there is a home, there is no job. A foreign country cannot accommodate the soul, a hometown cannot accommodate the body, and a place called home cannot find a way to support a family.
found a place to support his family but couldn't settle down, and since then there has been wandering, distance, nostalgia, and endless care. β
He Yan and Zhou Hongying, who understands themselves better? Who is the concern of life? Nishino couldn't give an answer.
The sunlight scattered on the forest paths, and the mountain chirped and jumped happily in the trees, and Nishino was very envious of these free birds, and looked at them in a daze.
"Professor, what are you doing?" Liu Xiaofeng, who was short and chubby and freckled on her face, walked over with a big belly like a female duck.
"I'm looking for the more than 1,000 dollars that I dropped last night? Oh, did you pick it up? Xiye didn't say directly that Liu Xiaofeng took his money and deliberately looked around on the ground.
"I didn't pick up your money, it wouldn't have been you playing cards at Mr. Chi last night and getting drunk and falling off the toilet when you went to the toilet, right?" Liu Xiaofeng avoided Xiye's eyes and didn't dare to look at him directly. Nishino didn't drink much at all, and he remembered it clearly: "How is it possible, you didn't give money to me and that hand, and the money I didn't lose was all in the drawer." β
"Then I don't know, I can swear I didn't take your money."
"With only the three of you present, will the money grow wings and fly on its own?"
"You suspect that I colluded with them and swallowed your money?"
"There is such a suspicion."
"Why do you smear people's innocence?"
"I went to Mr. Chi's house just now, and he vaguely said that he didn't know. It's my turn to play cards, not only do you not give money, you pee en en masse, but you also slip away without saying a word, so it's not good for me, right? β
"If you lose money, it's because you can't play cards. If you lose your money, that's your bad luck. Who told you not to take the money from the toilet, who is to blame? Liu Xiaofeng is at a loss for words.
"Alright, needless to say. 1300 yuan when I paid the tuition. In the future, don't ask me to play mahjong again, I can't afford to mess with you. β
"Oh, why do you talk like that? Who took you by the hand and forced you to lose money on the table? Liu Xiaofeng obviously took some of the money, and he would definitely not say that he was a thief at this time.
"No one, but you remember to me, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!" Xiye didn't want to continue arguing with Liu Xiaofeng, so he strode forward.
"Hey, professor......" Liu Xiaofeng still wanted to argue with Nishino.
During the political class that day, a student asked: "Teacher, a lot of what we eat and wear is fake and shoddy products, and we have no sense of security, can you tell us what integrity is?" β
Nishino thought for a moment, "I'll tell you a little story. β
"Once, a fool and a liar met unexpectedly, and the liar said that if I could, I would give you the best.
The fool stupidly believed it, gave all his things to the liar, and sincerely said: What is mine in the future is yours.
The liar also said that if someone else gives me something better than what you give, I will also turn a blind eye, and I will only cherish everything you have.
The fool was moved to tears, and took out his heart and gave it to the liar, and the liar said, "Do you have anything more valuable besides this heart?"
The fool shook his head, and the liar found that the fool had nothing, so he threw the fool's heart on the ground, stepped on it a few times, and said disdainfully: How much is your broken heart worth?
The fool squatted down, crying and picking up his broken heart, only to realize that the liar wanted only material things, not his hot and sincere heart, not to mention, the liar never gave him anything. β
After listening to the story, the students commented: "Liars are so hateful, and fools are too honest!" β
"Scammers are not scary, as long as they are not greedy, they will not suffer big losses."
"Bring a lie detector and you'll be able to recognize the liar!" β¦β¦
After the students were almost finished, Nishino returned to the podium: "Students, I have always thought that knowledge changes fate, so I studied hard and finally got a college diploma. As a result, getting a few hundred yuan a month is not as good as killing a pig, what is the use of this reading? I tell you to study hard, get into a good university, and get a good job in the future, but that's all a lie. In many cases, knowledge is not valuable, and a literate person is equivalent to a child. If you don't want to be as unproductive as I am, it's better to get out of the mountains and go as far as possible. β
After Nishino finished speaking, the whole classroom was silent, and the students had already understood what the teacher was talking about. Nishino continued to lecture, and the students listened very carefully and disciplined, and the rustling of the tip of the pen flowed through the book......
Many years later, a female president who was admitted to the University of Economics and Business recalled: "Mr. Nishino was a bright light on my life and illuminated the direction of my progress. His lesson changed my life, and many times knowledge is wealth. β
