Still, Wait For Me
Chapter 16 When Big Stories Become Jokes
The next day, despite Xu's parents' disapproval, Xu Tingnian insisted on going back to school because he knew that if he didn't go back on the 17th day, the next day, his parents wouldn't dare to let him go back.
On the 18th, the suspected SARS patient will jump out of the building in the morning, and the whole of Libei County will be in panic.
Xu Daddy bicycled Xu Tin students to school.
The back seat of his father's bike was a childhood memory of countless people. Xu Tiansheng had not sat for a long time. He shook his legs and looked to his right with leisure.
A building under construction appeared in his sight.
The Golden City Building, although it doesn't really fit the word, is the first building in the history of Libei County to exceed 10 floors. The first star-studded hotel in Libei County will appear, as well as the first large self-selected supermarket.
Hotel management involves too many things, including networking, contact units, public money to eat and drink, etc., which is an important source of hotel revenues during this period, Xu Tiansheng does not have such resources.
But the supermarket, in Xu Tiansheng's memory, until 2015, was one of only two large supermarkets in Libei County, and the business was hot.
Small counties like Libei County, including the remaining eight counties under Graduate City, may not have had large supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart and Darun Fa in place until 2015 because the market was not large enough.
In other words, it's a golden chicken that lays eggs all the time, ages, and there's room to expand the monopoly to surrounding counties and cities.
Xu Tinsheng was excited about this idea for a while, but his heart cooled down when Dad said that the family had only over $30,000 in total.
“Dad, what kind of business is it on the bottom floor?” Xu Tiansheng pretended not to ask.
Xu Da thought about it and said, "I can't think of any way I can build a kiln brick here. ”
Xu Tinsheng laughed: “I think it's good to open a big supermarket. I saw a large self-selected supermarket outside the other day, selling everything inside. The customer pushed the shopping cart, picked out everything and went to the door to settle the bill. The business was so good that several cashiers couldn't come. We don't have such a big supermarket in the county. If we could open it, it would be perfect. ”
Xu Da looked at the building in front of him and made a deep estimation. He shook his head: “How much money does it cost? Our family can't afford this business. ”
“Yes.” Xu Tiansheng thought about it and did not go on with the topic.
“No wonder everyone says the first barrel of gold is the hardest.” Xu Tiansheng was a little annoyed. He was too uninterested in the lottery stuff in his previous life. Otherwise, he remembered how good a couple of two-color ball numbers were.
Xu Da sent Xu Tiansheng to the school door.
On the way from the doorstep of the school to the senior year (10) classroom, Xu Tiansheng was somewhat confused that there was indeed too much attention to his eyes and whispering, so that he could catch up with himself on the command deck for review.
These eyes and discourses are filled with sympathy or confusion, and some with ridicule and irony.
There were even a few familiar people on the way to comfort the gardener Xu: "Don't be discouraged, there's still time, next time try. ”
There are also helpless people who say: “I told you already, have a goal to rest assured, you, but don't worry too much, don't worry about what others say, just worry about yourself, take your time. ”
“Look at that. Did I ruin my exam?” Xu Tiansheng was somewhat confused, and according to his own estimation, moving forward 20 should be fine.
Xu Tingsheng walked into the classroom and returned to his seat in a featured ceremony. Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng walked over with an answer roll with guilt.
“I'm sorry, we've been tutoring you.” Huang Yaming frowned bitterly.
“What's going on? Cut the ink. I panicked.” Xu Tiansheng said.
Fu Cheng put the answers on Xu Tiansheng's table.
Math, 62 points.
Xu Tiansheng was kind of trying to pull that piece of rubber carved out of the table and kiss it. It was too bad luck.
Xu Tiansheng was very satisfied with himself, but Huang Yaming and Fucheng did not see it that way. In their concepts, Xu Tiansheng's mathematics was not good, but usually a 90-point exam was OK. This time he was coached by both of them, and fell to 60 points. Both of them had some guilt in their hearts.
“What about you? How was your exam?” Xu Tiansheng asked excitedly.
“128.”
“134.”
“So good? ”
“Yeah...”
The two “teachers” who coached themselves and coached the students became even more guilty.
“What about the other subjects?” Xu Tiansheng asked.
“It's not out yet,...”
The two explained, Xu finally figured it out.
Due to the relationship between SARS, this edition of the volume was not sent to the city for unified reading. Instead, the school organized its own senior and senior teachers to help approve it.
Xu Tiansheng himself has participated in many volumes, and knows that the time required to read volumes varies greatly from subject to subject. For example, his teaching history is slow. Relatively speaking, literature class volumes, mathematics and geography will be the fastest.
With no exceptions, mathematics and geography were the first to complete the volume, but since geography is in the volume, and we have to wait for both political and historical groups to complete the volume to publish the results together, so far only mathematics volumes have been sent out last night.
Then, Xu Tin's mathematical score, which was very popular because of the exaggeration to enter the first 20 years of the year, 62 points, was spreading wildly, from senior 10 classes to four classes in literature, to the entire senior year, to the majority of schools.
150 points for the roll, 62 points.
“What did he say? Going into the first 20 years?! ”
So talking, laughing, sympathy, they all came.
“Aren't you two ashamed?” Xu Tiansheng was sincere to Huang Yaming and Fu Dao.
The two did not answer, but gave positive answers with a facial expression.
“Buy me lunch, I'll have a little stir-fry on the third floor. ”
“…, OK. ”
When Xu Tiansheng was excited about a small stir fry, Yao Yao came.
Yao Yao Yao was a bit of a boy, but she usually looked like a girl. After all, she was still a girl who was about to go to her first love. Therefore, after promising Xu Tiansheng on that day, she did not feel comfortable. Usually in the class, instead, she didn't dare to have anything to do with Xu Tiansheng, Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng together to have a joke, even less conversation.
In a featured ceremony, Yao Yiu sat down beside Xu Tingsheng.
The class bell rang, Xu Tiansheng's table came back, Yao Qiao was stunned, embarrassed: “Next self-study class, can I change seats with you? I... I'm sitting here. ”
“Hoo-hoo." Classmates started making fun of each other.
Many court students before “rebirth" liked Yao Yao Yao for almost two years. Yao Yao Yao did not say yes, but never refused, so in the eyes of the classmates, the relationship between the two belonged to the semi-public state of "less than a lover", which means somewhat officially.
The same table frowned and packed up a few books.
A few “dead shamelessly” came running to bless.
“What are you looking at? Learn! ”
Yao Yao finally shouted out her “Hao Mai” temperament. After another laugh, the students turned around and buried their heads to study.
After “Hao Mai", Yao Yao looked at Xu Tiansheng with some surprise: “You, don't be discouraged, a mistake does not mean anything, I see you are trying very hard. ”
Xu Tinsheng nodded with a smile. To be honest, he was a little warm and moved at this moment. Yao Yao is not the kind of person who is good at showing tenderness and caring. At this time, she has undoubtedly done her best, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Xu Tiansheng knew that it was difficult for her.
“I looked at your roll, and I'll tell you about it. Although the teacher will tell you about it, you can always stop and ask questions.” Yao Xiao said.
“Okay, thanks.” In the current situation, Xu Tiansheng had to promise even if he no longer wanted to learn mathematics.
Yao Zheng patiently and carefully spoke the whole lesson. In order not to waste her heart, Xu Tiansheng also listened carefully to the lesson and asked questions from time to time.
Xu Tiansheng found that he could actually understand something.
In the eyes of the classmates, it's really heartwarming to work together.
“Want to join us for lunch? Huang Yaming and Fucheng treat, let's go to the third floor to eat.” After class, Xu Tingsheng extended an invitation to thank him.
Yao Yao is a little hesitant. In fact, she is usually very familiar with Huang Yaming and Fucheng, but if we dine together today, how can we all feel a little like seeing his best friend as a girlfriend in court?
Go, or not?
“Together, together.” Fu Chengchao came along.
“Ah, okay.” Yao Xiao answered so vaguely.
Lunchtime is the most concentrated time on the way from the teaching building to the restaurant. Breakfast has been eaten at home, do not eat, there is also an after-school activity before dinner to buffer, people will disperse, only lunch time, the end of the morning bell will prevail, everyone leans out.
There were people all along the way.
Xu Tiansheng felt like a circus monkey walking in the crowd.
Because of the propaganda of Teacher Zhang, Mr. Xu Tingnian's previous stories had already been spread, and then happened to be on the command deck again in those days, singing on the roof, the world was so big, fighting for girls, these things were spread and discussed, as well as Xu Tingnian's entry into the first 20 stories of the year attracted increasing attention.
A lot of people are looking forward to seeing this.
From the current mathematical scores, the big story seems to be turning into a joke.
Xu Tiansheng walked in the crowd, his eyes could be ignored, but his voice could not be isolated.
“Get out of the way, the gods are coming. ”
“This is the gardener Xu. Oh, the world is so big, I want to see that. Looks like I'm really going home to see some potatoes. ”
“Why do you say that? ”
“Don't you know? He scored 62 in math. ”
“Ah?”
“Some people really don't want to look at each other. ”
“Is it too much for you to say this in front of people? ”
“I remember the last time you gambled with him. Oh, what do we do? When will you invite us to dinner? ”
“Please wait till I have the money next week, but can you not say it here, how bad did he hear? ”
“Oops, you lost, you still care about him? ”
