Volume 1 The Year of Hair Bundle Chapter 2 Late Registration (II)
"Moving, isn't this going to high school, my dad thought about not spending all his time on the road, so he rented a house nearby."
Although moving is a reason, it doesn't affect the registration, right? Gao Geli knew that this was an excuse, but he didn't have much intersection with Chen Jie in junior high school, although he was in the same class, it was also the relationship between ordinary classmates, so he couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he could only answer: "No wonder I can't find you, where did you move?" ”
"Xinmin Garden." Chen Jie replied as he looked at Gao Geli's class schedule and took out the books to be used in the next class.
"What?!" Gao Geli was startled at first, and then gloated: "Congratulations on jumping into a fire pit." Xinminyuan is basically a demolition household, this area used to be a bungalow, these people have no concept of upstairs and downstairs, many residents still maintain the habit of living in a bungalow before, don't care about the downstairs at all, usually to make more noise and how noisy, live here and some of them! ”
After Gao Geli finished speaking, he looked out the window at a quiet place, which was a high-end villa residential area called "Chen Mansion". Xinmin Yuan and Chen Mansion are the two closest neighborhoods to the city's key districts, and both areas are hot spots in the housing rental market during the school season every year. Gao Geli's family conditions can't afford a community like Chen Mansion for the time being, so he can only look at it with envy.
Chen Jie followed Gao Geli's gaze, knowing what he was thinking, and replied thoughtfully: "If you want to talk about the bungalow moving to the building, the community should carry out some publicity work on the neighborhood convention in the early stage. But even if it doesn't, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as you say, right? Isn't it normal for ordinary people to like to be lively?! As he spoke, Chen Jie had already put all the necessary items for class on the table.
Gao Geli smiled bitterly and replied: "This 'lively' is not the other's 'lively', I also moved from the bungalow to the building when I was a child, and I didn't see anyone to publicize it at that time, and I didn't get along with the aunt downstairs anyway. Propaganda is of little use, everyone understands the truth, but you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. ”
As soon as Chen Jie moved in, he asked Gao Geli to pour such a basin of cold water, so he was naturally not happy, but he squinted at Gao Geli and replied with a slight protest: "This community recruited you to provoke you?" You have so much bitter water. ”
"I moved to this neighborhood during the summer vacation...... It's always a bit of a say in the experience of being in person, right? Gao Geli obviously regrets the decision to move now, but he has nothing to do, after all, it is a bit far away, and the conditions for moving to the Chen Mansion are not allowed.
As soon as he heard that Gao Geli lived in the same neighborhood as him, Chen Jie understood that his complaint just now turned out to be a kind of sympathy, so he asked with a smile: "Oh? Neighbor, where do you live? ”
"Building 6, 903."
"Oh! O neighbors! I live downstairs at 703 for you. ”
"Oh, yes, I'll have a companion for going to and from school in the future." After speaking, the two of them shook hands tightly, and a deep friendship like a brother was quietly established at this moment.
……
There is no evening self-study in the first year of high school, and at 6:40 p.m., the freshmen can go home from school. After a day of getting to know each other, Chen Jie and Gao Geli have become completely acquainted, the two are slowly leaving the campus at this time, and the students who are walking behind them are either hurrying or trotting or fighting and making trouble after a while, and compared with the childish students around them, the backs of these two always give people a feeling of youth and seriousness.
"Where the hell have you been in the past three days?" Gao Geli has always been very interested in this issue, but the relationship was not in place in the morning, and Gao Geli was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it.
"I'm discussing something very important with my dad." Chen Jie said slightly mysteriously.
"What could be more important than reporting?"
"The discussion is whether or not to report to this matter." Chen Jie replied solemnly.
"Huh?!" Gao Geli looked at him with a puzzled face, rolled the whites of his eyes, and said: "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of problem, this is a key high school, being admitted is equivalent to having one foot in the university, and others can't get in if they want to spend money, it's good for you two to discuss this kind of thing for three days?!" ”
Chen Jie seemed very calm, and was not affected by Gao Geli's exaggerated expression, he said: "Let me ask you a question, if you buy a movie ticket and just watch it for five minutes and find that the movie is not good or the subject matter is not your thing, do you continue to watch it or leave?" Then Chen Jie added, "Ignoring the additional factors of young couples cultivating feelings, we only discuss the situation where you go to the movies alone for the purpose of watching movies." ”
"Of course you have to watch it, otherwise the money will not be spent in vain." Gogli replied as a matter of course. If someone else asked such a question, he would definitely look at each other with the eyes of a fool, but he knew that Chen Jie was not a fool, and the latter had already proved this with his almost unnatural exam results in the three years of junior high school, so Gao Geli knew that there must be a follow-up to this question.
"The fundamental reason why you are reluctant to leave the cinema is that you feel sorry for the money you spent, but even if you finish watching the movie, you can't get back the money you spent on movie tickets, and the money spent in this case is called sunk costs. In fact, this kind of thinking does not conform to the laws of economics, the economic approach is to leave the cinema if it is really not good-looking, and you can do something else the rest of the time, which is called stopping losses in time, so as not to fall deeper and deeper. ”
"It seems to be the truth, but what does it have to do with whether you come to report or not?"
"Don't talk about those big truths, to put it in the vernacular, the only purpose of going to high school is to get into college. If you don't plan to go to college, why do you want to go to high school? If you don't plan to go to university, isn't it a sunk cost no matter how good your results are in the high school entrance examination? ”
Gao Geli almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears, the person in front of him was still easily admitted to the city key despite failing English, and the person with this kind of learning ability didn't plan to go to college at all?! This is simply a huge waste of talent, and it is a terrible thing! He looked at Chen Jie like an alien now, thinking that this guy wouldn't be crazy, right?!
Gao Geli first looked Chen Jie up and down very seriously, and then retorted: "Even if you don't take the university entrance examination, you can learn a lot of knowledge in high school!" ”
This kind of rebuttal really lacked strength in Chen Jie's opinion, and he replied with a smile: "Believe me, at least half of the high school knowledge will be returned to the teacher after the college entrance examination." Even if you really use it in the future, you can look it up on the Internet. So the biggest motivation for high school is to get into college, so let's face it. ”
Gao Geli was still a little unconvinced, and continued to argue: "But basically no one will choose to give up even though they have the opportunity to go to college." Do you know how difficult it is to get a job now? Civil servants, state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, how many places to recruit people hard indicators is to graduate from a bachelor's degree, a better large company is required to 211, 985 start, this is a fundamental problem related to survival! Not to mention those who want to further their studies, a bachelor's degree is a basic requirement. ”
Gao Geli's rebuttal sounded so familiar to Chen Jie, and he couldn't help but think of the discussion with his father last night......
