Chapter 10: The Old Headmaster
Wang Xiaoshan got up at 6 o'clock in the morning and ran around the playground to complete the 20 laps he had to run every day. 8000 meters, no more, no less. This is a bit unattainable in the eyes of some people, and it is a compulsory lesson that Wang Xiaoshan has insisted on for six years without a day of delay. Revolution is the capital of the body, this is the wise saying that Wang Xiaoshan deeply realized when he first followed Lao Zhao, Little Fox, Huazi, and Thin Monkey out to fight. Speaking of the first fight, it's still a little funny when I think about it now, the reason is that the little fox with a superior posture doesn't know what kind of nerve he has committed, and when he was drinking with Wang Xiaoshan and his gang, he walked to the next table on a whim and teased a problem boy who seemed to kill Matt, and the beauty who killed Matt couldn't resist the temptation of the little fox, so he took the initiative to stretch out his salty pig hand, looking for the little fox who was not too lively, and the cry was as earth-shattering as if it was broken. Huazi, who had always had a crush on her, was the first to rush forward, and without saying a word, a machete knife was slashed at the wrist of the young man who killed him. The few people who ate with the teenager probably had never seen such a fierce man, and their reaction was naturally half a beat slower, and when they really wanted to avenge their brother, Huazi had quickly overturned the salty pig hand to kill Matt, Thin Monkey, Lao Zhao, and Wang Xiaoshan had also been outflanked in place, and the people on both sides opened the tables, chairs, and benches. This time it was lively, there was a high-class little fox standing in the middle of the field, screaming and shouting indecency, and from time to time taking advantage of others not paying attention to the plate on the table as a hidden weapon to throw, surrounded by young and restless Jin Province men who threw away the dry regardless of it, and there was still a young man who killed Matt who didn't understand how to be overturned without thinking about it. Only the restaurant owner who hadn't had time to say anything was left to fight outside in the wind.
After running, Wang Xiaoshan solved his breakfast in the school cafeteria, and by the way, he packed some steamed buns and fritters for the three animals who had not yet gotten up. Back in the dormitory, two of the three animals were pretending to be corpses, only Xiao Shenwen got up by himself and turned on the computer to eliminate the traces of last night's watching, Wang Xiaoshan asked him: "Why are you eliminating this trace?" Xiao Shenwen replied obediently, "No, no, my dad is engaged in computers, this computer is something that my dad tried his best to put up, and I don't know what he put in it, anyway, he will remotely check my traces of use, if he knows what we did last night, it is estimated that he will immediately fly over and kill me." Wang Xiaoshan was happy, "Then you hurry up and finish breakfast." Wang Xiaoshan, who hadn't put down the things in his hand, turned around and saw a husky named Xiao Jump, who was probably the only one in the entire dormitory building who couldn't speak human words, was wagging his tail at Wang Xiaoshan and begging for mercy, the meaning was obvious, but I was so cute, come and feed me, don't feed me, be careful to bite your sheets at night.
When the two animals in the dormitory got up and had breakfast together, all the 202 staff freshened up and dressed up, and walked to the school's auditorium together, ready to participate in the long-awaited orientation party.
Wang Xiaoshan and his group, who entered the auditorium, found a not too obvious position to sit down, said hello to Yang Weimin, the counselor of their class, and then waited for the appearance of the long-awaited beauty dance.
The first thing to start was the same familiar process, the vice principal, school leaders, and student representatives went up one by one to make speeches, the content of which did not sound very new, and it is estimated that the children who have gone to school are about to hear the cocoon. At this time, the freshmen in the audience, sure enough, they are all from the past, and they have already prepared to bow their heads and play with their mobile phones to watch movies, and the most unfortunate thing is that they took a novel and read it with relish, and no one will really care about the tirades of those leaders on the stage.
When it was estimated that the speech was almost over, an old man wearing a Mao suit, round cloth shoes, a pair of glasses, and a full head of white hair came up from the side of the rostrum. With his hands behind his back, he walked to the podium step by step, and at first he did not attract the attention of the school leaders, until the old man stood still like a javelin and was about to pick up the microphone to speak, and the school leaders in a row did not calmly come back to their senses. As the biggest boss of this university, the old principal originally said that he would not come to speak, why did he change his decision today and walked up, several pot-bellied school vice principals and school leaders hurriedly stood up to greet them, and the white-haired old principal stopped their movements with his eyes, and looked at the freshmen who had not yet gotten rid of their childishness. Picked up the microphone: "I know that maybe my coming up will delay everyone's precious time in the future, and maybe the classmates may be a little complaining about my bad old man's sideways speech, but people who have lived to my age don't care about the gossip of a group of hairy guys and yellow-haired girls, I didn't stand up to let you see this old man's unreasonable trouble, but there have been more new students over the years, and I have a few words in my heart that I want to talk to you." ”
"I have lived for decades, when I was young, I experienced the baptism of my generation, in the sixties and seventies, I would be put in a place where birds don't to support the construction of the motherland, I can't study if I want to, I haven't complained, but the wheels of the times will not stop because of a poor boy's complaint, he will only run over you. I only knew the preciousness of being able to read in that place where the loess was all over the sky, so I am very envious of you, and I envy you children, who are called the pride of heaven by outsiders, and now you can have a good condition to study without worries, and you have to thank your parents for giving birth to you in such a good era. ”
"How many years has this school been established, I don't remember some things so clearly when I'm older, anyway, other people say that we are a famous school, and the more they say this, the more ashamed I feel, and even feel slapped in the face. A famous school of bullshit, in their eyes, this is a famous school? Why don't you compare Harvard? Why don't you compare Oxford? Why don't you compare New York Tech? In the final analysis, the realm is still low, the horizon is narrow, and it is not worth mentioning. In my opinion, this school is not a prestigious school, and the road to go is too long and too long. Students, remember that in any industry, you should compare with the first place in the industry, at least the top three, not with the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, that is, compared with the fourth, fifth, and sixth, which means that you are successful? I can't afford to lose that person. What is an ideal, an ideal should be an idea, not to mention others, that is, an idea that you feel is impossible to achieve. ”
"There have been so many celebrities in this school, but no matter how many celebrities there are, it has nothing to do with you, you have to recruit a lot of people in a semester, you can have tens of thousands of alumni in four years of college life, not to mention that the celebrities in your eyes have graduated for many years now, think about how many tens of thousands of people are in between, who will know whom? Don't mention those useless false names, Hanqi. ”
"I don't expect people to have much affection for this school, or any great respect for me as an old man, I just want to wait until you finally graduate from this school, don't look back and say that I will be satisfied with delaying your four years. There was a senior in the previous sessions of you, who is now working in the National Development and Reform Commission, and I heard that he was the leader of the energy team. At that time, he was not poor, his tuition was still put together by the family, and when he paid the tuition, others were bank cards or transfers, and your senior was carrying a large burlap bag, and it was full of change when he opened it. I know how hard he has been, but this kid didn't ask for a penny of funding from the school. It's all based on his true skills to earn a scholarship and survive by doing odd jobs in his spare time.,I know that he has done more than a dozen jobs.,Has he ever complained? Of course he complained, he complained about the unfairness of fate, but he was even more glad for his persistence. So when he graduated, he took with him more than 150 notes he had written in the library in addition to his four years of youth. Later, he rose to prominence and brought some sponsorship to the school, and I accepted them all, why? Because I feel like it's personal. ”
"Telling his story is also a reminder to you, whoever plans to come to the university should get out of the university as soon as possible, I won't be able to retire in a few years, there is nothing to worry about. Okay, let's not talk about it, I guess you're tired of my old man's preaching. ”
When this respectful old man, who claimed to be a bad old man but brought too many feelings to Wang Xiaoshan, walked off the rostrum with his hands behind his back, in addition to the support and flattery of a group of vice principals and school leaders, as well as the admiration of most of the students from the bottom of their hearts, many students put down their mobile phones and watched thoughtfully as this old man who did not play cards according to common sense walked out of the door of the auditorium slowly and firmly. Of course, it doesn't mean that the old principal's words work for everyone, for example, the second generation of Huang Zihuafu next to Wang Xiaoshan still looks cynical, and he said to Wang Xiaoshan with a hippie smile: "This old man is a little interesting." For Huang Zihua, the performances of the next senior sisters and sisters are much more exciting than the old man's words. Wang Xiaoshan never thought that there was such a strange and a somewhat energetic old man hidden in this famous Chinese school.
