Cigars and crystal pendants didn't make it out. On Shi Jiamu's way back to China, his parents died in a car accident.

Shi Jiamu's parents were both teachers at Songjiang Middle School, his father taught physics and his mother taught chemistry.

At that time, there was a joke in the society that ridiculed teachers: "Wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than misses, have greater responsibilities than the host/seat, eat worse than pigs, urge homework more ruthlessly than Huang Shiren, have a better attitude than Sun Tzu, have a worse reputation than traitors, and earn less than migrant workers." ”

There are only teachers who can't teach, there are no students who can't teach well, and hard work may not be rewarded. In this way, a senior teacher left the sacred pulpit and went to the sea to open an online store.

Half a year later, my mother also resigned from her public office and ran the shop with her husband.

They peddle books and stationery on Taobao. Because he knows the school well, the textbooks, exercises, books, and stationery are all in line with the needs of students, and the business is unusually good. My father rented a small warehouse on the outskirts of the city and was responsible for the purchase and transit of goods, while my mother was online almost 24 hours a day, communicating with customers and delivering goods by mail.

The profit of books and stationery is good, the month before and after the start of school is the peak season, and the business is very busy, Shi Jiamu's parents began to consider hiring a helper to take care of the small shop together, so as to free up their energy to handle the major events of their son's further study.

The day of the accident happened to be the wedding anniversary. The old husband and wife, these years have not been easy, their son is abroad, the two decided to celebrate a little, went to the vegetable market to buy some cooked vegetables, came back to drink a few glasses, and drank a bottle of cheap wine.

After lunch, I received a large order, and the buyer was in a hurry, so my father decided to drive to the warehouse immediately to transfer the goods.

The truck is a second-hand goods from the car market, Isuzu, ninety percent new, not many kilometers driven, the owner is in a hurry to use the money, and opened a low price. My father took a fancy to the cheap car, the loading was large, and the performance was good, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.

In order to be in a hurry, coupled with the effect of alcohol, they mistakenly ran a red light at an intersection in the suburbs, and broke a Hiromoto waist, Shi Jiamu's parents died on the spot, and the four people in the other car were also killed and injured.

The traffic police detachment ruled that the driver was fully responsible and compensated the family of the deceased 760,000 yuan.

After Shi Jiamu returned to Surabaya City, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he was weak, and he slept for a day and a night before he struggled to get up. No matter what happens, life has to go on, he forced himself to take care of the funeral, collected the compensation, and waited until everything was settled, and the new semester had passed more than a month.

With both parents dead, the family surrounded by walls, the future is dark, and the burden of life is on his shoulders, Shi Jiamu seems to have changed into a different person, taciturn, and not interested in anything.

In this way, he returned to Songjiang Middle School and continued the rest of his high school career.

The plan to go abroad, of course, fell through, and Shi Jiamu graduated under the strange eyes of the surroundings and was admitted to an unknown vocational and technical school in the Surabaya Development Zone.

His score was only enough for the most crappy horticultural technology major.

Songjiang Middle School is one of the top key high schools in Surabaya City, with an undergraduate rate of more than 90%, and even offline students are arrogant, either preparing to repeat their studies, or planning to go abroad for further study. But the person concerned did not care about the world's opinion, he calmly accepted the arrangement of fate, and spent three years of lackluster life.

If everything goes well, he will be able to get the National Computer Grade Certificate, the Applied English National Grade Certificate, the Senior Agronomic Worker Certificate, the Senior Vegetable Worker Certificate, the Senior Flower Worker Certificate, the Horticultural Plant Protection Worker Certificate, and other types of work appraisal certificates, and then seek a job in the talent market.

As early as when he was in high school in Songjiang Middle School, Shi Jiamu was not a diligent student, and now there is no teacher who is "more ruthless than Huang Shiren" around him, Shi Jiamu is even more in a state of indulgence, being late, leaving early, skipping class, almost every day of routine official business, in addition, he also hung up a number of professional courses, and had to pay an additional fee to take the make-up exam.

It is said that the fees for the make-up examination each semester add up to 7788, which is not a small amount, and a considerable part of the bonus of the grass-roots teaching assistant is paid from the make-up examination fee.

The advantage of the make-up exam is that no matter how bad the test is, you can always get through the risk, after all, the student has paid the make-up exam fee.

Unlike other students, Shi Jiamu never skipped class because he slept in, played games, or fell in love, he just didn't like boring planting techniques, preferring to sneak into the next class and sit in the last row to listen to a professional class in landscape design.

Garden design is different from horticulture technology, the former overlaps stone and water, lays out plants and trees, and creates buildings, while the latter focuses on the cultivation of fruit trees, vegetables and ornamental plants.

Shi Jiamu is interested in garden design and has experience, but that is not his profession, and he deserves to eat.

The schoolwork of the vocational school is not very heavy, and there is no place to spend his free time, so Shi Jiamu always sneaks out alone and hides in the city library to find books to read.

Chekhov has a novel called "The Man in the Suit", which describes Belikov putting his body and mind into a suit, and for Shi Jiamu, those old books with age are his "suit".

Only in someone else's world can he forget himself.
