Chapter 209: Get ahead
Hey, hey, once again, we're going back to yesterday.
It should have been explained at the beginning that Huzhou Experimental School can choose to live in the school or not live in the school.
If the family is a little richer, the student simply takes the special bus to school every day and does not sleep in the student dormitory.
There is a bus stop right in front of the school, and many students wait for the bus here every day.
One of them, a boy who was at least 1.8 meters tall, was definitely one of the jumpers in this group of students.
He was good-looking, his eyebrows were very energetic, and he felt that he spoke with a kind of masculinity, which he did.
A Mercedes-Benz passed in front of the station, and a female classmate poked her head out of the back window of the car and said hello to the boy: "What about the squad leader waiting for the bus?" ”
"Ah, hello." The boy smiled.
"Squad leader, where do you live? I'll send you back if you stop by, right? The girl asked again.
"Oh, no, it's only two stops away from Oh's house, so I won't bother you." The boy replied.
"Oh so, well, see you next week." Seeing that the other party was not cold, the girl raised the window and left.
The boy was still smiling and waving at the back of the Mercedes.
"Eh, who's this?" The two girls behind him asked.
"It seems to be the leader of a class." The other girl replied.
"This is the class leader?" Female classmate A asked.
"Well, he's tall, and he's polite to everyone with excellent grades, so he's right." Female classmate B looked at the boy's back and muttered.
"What's your name?" Female classmate A asked again.
"Hmm... I remember it was called. Zhong Cheng. Female classmate B thought about it and said.
"Zhong Cheng? Isn't it the one who took the first place in the continent when he took the Huzhou exam? Female classmate A asked.
"Really?" Female classmate B was a little surprised when she changed the table.
"Really, really, it's that Zhong Cheng, I sat behind him when I took the exam!" Female classmate A said.
"Such a powerful person has come to our school, huh? I didn't expect to study for a long time and be tall, so I felt so secure. "Female classmate B started to launch a nymphomaniac" How about it, go up and say hello? ”
"Eh, people may still look down on you, do you know where they live? Just the dawn years behind the two stations, do you know who lives there? People who don't have a certain amount of assets in their family can't live there. Female classmate A said.
"I didn't expect the family to have money, and sure enough, the people in the aristocratic school are so perfect." Female classmate B began to reverie again.
"Eh, there's no way, who told us that our family is still not rich enough, how can a group of people look down on us." Female classmate A said with some dejection.
The two girls lowered their heads and suddenly became sad.
It was at this time that Zhong Cheng turned around and smiled at the two girls, and the smile was so warm.
The two girls were also stunned, did they hear what they said?
It was at this time that the bus came, and Zhong Cheng followed the flow of people to get on the bus.
It was only after waiting for the bus to leave that the two girls were relieved from their stunned thoughts.
"Huh! He just smiled at me, didn't he? Female classmate A asked excitedly.
"Nonsense, that's laughing at me!" Female classmate B retorted.
"Not really! Just laughing at me! Female classmate A said.
"You're talking nonsense! Did I speak first? Female classmate B was suddenly a little unhappy.
The two girls pinched on the bus stop.
On the bus, even if there was a seat at the beginning, Zhong Cheng still gave it to the female classmates later, and it was a very safe feeling to stand on the bus.
The two girls who were facing Zhong Cheng also looked at him with red faces, and Zhong Cheng also sent them a kind smile.
After about two stops, the bus stopped at the edge of a villa complex, and Zhong Cheng was the only one in this car who got off the bus and walked towards the villa group.
Dawn is the highest standard community in Pudong District, because it is a better road section, and it is nearby
A supermarket is built along the river, so the land here is also rising.
Zhong Cheng walked along the wall of the dawn years, and in front of him was the intersection of the community, but Zhong Cheng did not go in, but walked through it and walked towards the supermarket in the distance.
This supermarket is opened by foreigners, and almost everything can be bought here, and the daily food expenses of several nearby neighborhoods can be bought here.
Could it be that Zhong Cheng meant to cook?
Zhong Cheng walked into the supermarket and walked directly to the snack area on the first floor, where there are all kinds of snacks and delicacies, all kinds of hawkers and aromas mixed together, forming a unique atmosphere.
Zhong Cheng walked to a barbecue stall, a woman with an apron was still busy, and the barbecue on the grill made a "sizzle" sound.
Zhong Cheng stepped forward, "Mom." ”
The woman looked up, "Back?" It's a little early today. ”
"Well, it's Friday, so it's early." Zhong Cheng said.
"The dish has been bought, put it in the back, today is lucky, there is a leftover rib for sale, go back and sit on the braised braised bit, well, there are these, they are all about to expire, they have been baked, if it is too cold, it will be hot." Mother put another bag in front of Zhong Cheng.
"Okay, will Dad come back for dinner today?" Zhong Cheng picked up the bag and asked.
"I don't know, let's burn it first, and don't give me a call." Mom took out a phone from her apron pocket and glanced at it.
"Then I'll go first." Zhong Cheng walked out.
"Wait a minute." Mom stopped him.
Zhong Cheng turned around, "Is there anything else you want to explain?" ”
"The bulk goods in the supermarket returned a batch of sodas, in glass bottles, and said that they would not be on it again in the future, so they were divided, and our stall was also divided, is our freezer cart still there?" Zhong Cheng's mother asked.
"It's still there, my dad said that you can keep it, so I kept it." Zhong Cheng replied.
"Tomorrow, ask your dad to transport it, you push this soda, walk around the neighborhoods, and earn some pocket money." Mom said.
"Mom, it's okay, I don't have much money to go to and from school every day." Zhong Cheng said.
"Eh, I can't help it, isn't it, what tuition fees do your sister's schools have to pay, why aren't your grades as bad as yours, this kid." Mom sighed.
"Xiaoxing is not what you think, maybe I can't hold it back now." Zhong Cheng said.
"Can't take it? What's so much about her little girl's family that she can't contain? Doesn't she know what's going on in our family? If you want to get ahead here, you can only learn! Why don't we come here from our hometown?! I also have to pay her tuition and fees... Eh, really... Mom immediately opened up the conversation.
"Boss, isn't our meat good yet?!" A man cried out in the distance.
"Okay, okay, here, half of it wants chili and half of it, right?" Mom instantly changed her face, walked over with a smile, and looked back at Zhong Cheng halfway through, "Don't forget!" I will ice the soda in advance, and when the weather cools down in a few days, I will sell it in a beautiful place. ”
Zhong Cheng nodded and walked out with dinner.
Walking out of the other side of the supermarket, there is also a bus stop, from here it is more than an hour's bus ride to Zhong Cheng's real home.
Shanty.
Before Huzhou was developed, it was originally a large piece of wasteland, in order to accommodate the displaced people who fled from the war zone, a displaced people shelter area was planned in this generation, but after the end of the war, a large number of displaced people who stayed here were still homeless, so they were placed here, and over time, the shantytown sentence slowly expanded, the dark streets, all kinds of people, and even the roads were narrow and winding. The rusty iron frame glowed dimly under the incandescent light.
The bus does not go to the shantytown, but only stops at the main station, which is still some distance away.
Zhong Cheng got out of the car with a large number of people in old clothes and walked towards a place that emitted a dim light.
After walking through the first street
After the road, the road became narrower, and all kinds of illegal buildings appeared, and all kinds of people stood at the door and shouted, killing Matt with an earthy atmosphere, or a dusty woman in erotic underwear, or a butcher with a bare upper body and a shiny apron.
The old man with Erlang's legs crossed at the door of a small shop on the corner of the street, his hair was almost bald, but his eyebrows were still unusually vigorous, and he saw Zhong Cheng walking in and shouted, "The town is back?" ”
"Hello Grandpa Ma." Zhong Cheng smiled and nodded.
"How's the new school?" The old man asked again.
"Very good, Grandpa Ma, you've been asking for more than a month." Zhong Cheng said again.
The old man smiled, revealing two broken teeth.
Walking into the alley, the high and low platforms are still built randomly according to the height of the house, and various small advertisements are pasted on the walls layer after layer.
"Stop! Nice clothes, huh? Where? Suddenly came out of the gloom of the alley a young man, each not even as high as Zhong Chenggao, but with one ring after another on his nose and lips.
"Is Brother Wangcai here?" Zhong Cheng asked.
"Brother Wangcai? Do you know Brother Wangcai? The young man was also stunned.
Just when he was wondering, another person behind him came out and patted him on the head, "You idiot, this is that kid from the old Zhong family in muddy water!" ”
The young man was also dumbfounded, "Isn't it?" I don't think the clothes he's wearing are that. ”
"What did this kid take the test a few days ago, did you forget? Did you eat someone's barbecue? The other person was wearing even more rings than this, and said with an apologetic face, "Xiao Cheng, I'm sorry, this kid is stupid and didn't recognize it." ”
"It's okay brother, I still have something to do, then I'll go first." Zhong Cheng smiled politely and walked over.
"He looks like a man from an aristocratic school in this dress." Said the little rascal.
"It's an aristocratic school, but people study well and go for free tuition, right? I know that the old Zhong family doesn't have much money, so even if you knock it, it's for nothing. The other waved his hand.
Zhong Cheng came to a small courtyard, the yard and the house were about less than twenty square meters, and across from the door was a table, on which a little girl was doing her homework.
"Brother? You're back? The little girl raised her head when she saw Zhong Cheng.
"Well, there's meat to eat today." Zhou Ruocheng raised the bag in his hand.
"It's going to be an expired barbecue, right?" Xiao Gu asked.
"No, it's real this time, ribs." Zhong Cheng put the bag on a small desk and took out the contents in the same way.
"Oh yes! It's been a long time since I've eaten meat! The little girl jumped.
"Don't you eat barbecue every day?" Zhong Cheng said with a smile.
"Every day when I eat chicken wings, the tenderloin is connected to the flesh, I have to eat it, I vomit!" The little girl was dissatisfied.
"Don't ask for so much at a young age." Zhong Cheng said as he handled the ingredients.
"Oh yes, brother. Please, brother, okay? My sister came over embarrassedly.
"Did you fail the test again?" Zhong Cheng asked.
"Hmm." The little girl replied. "Parent signing."
"How many exams I have?" Zhong Cheng shook his hand, wiped it on the towel on the side, and stretched out his hand to his sister.
"You promise me first, you won't tell Mom." The little girl said.
"Zhong Xin?" Zhong Cheng straightened his face.
The little girl pouted and handed over the test paper, the eye-catching forks and the score of more than forty points were so eye-catching.
Zhong Cheng also sighed, "I won't say it now, when my mother mentions it, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
"Hmm." The little girl looked at her brother with a smile.
"Wait a little while and you'll be able to eat." Zhong Cheng said.
"Hmm." The little girl ran back again.
Zhong Cheng raised his head and looked at the stars outside the window, today's night is really beautiful, and only in Shanghai can you see such a clear sky in the shantytown.
He shrugged his shoulders and continued to bow his head to make dinner.
