Li Xiao was in a daze. The squad leader's words instantly opened up some memories that had been buried for many years.
It must have been the last few days before the exam. The two of them were discussing review questions. To be precise, the monitor was tutoring Li Xiao in the class.
The two of them are accustomed to this. Such tutoring is usually carried out in the classroom after school at noon. Of course, they are never the only ones in the classroom, there are usually seven or eight other students.
get out of class ended at 11:30, and they reviewed until 12:10 before rushing towards the canteen.
Li Xiao remembered looking at the countdown sign and then looking at the canteen under the teaching building. He had forgotten what he was thinking at the time.
However, he remembered that he told the monitor: When I get admitted to the undergraduate program, I will invite the monitor over for a drink. You can drink whatever you like.
Li Xiao was not wealthy back then. For a week of boarding, her mother only gave her 60 yuan for food, which was just 10 yuan a day.
The food expenses of 60 yuan are only enough for three meals a day, and the food is not good enough. If there are any extra expenses, I have to ask my parents for it.
After all, an ordinary dish with meat costs 2.7 yuan. Fortunately, the rice and soup were free at that time, otherwise Li Xiao would have probably starved to death in high school.
Therefore, Li Xiao, who was in a tight financial situation back then, was actually quite courageous when he could say something like inviting the squad leader to have a drink.
He was thinking that if he passed the undergraduate examination, his parents would not reward him with some pocket money, and then the monitor would drink whatever he liked.
At that time, the reason why I came up with such an idea was because I had no other thoughts. After all, the squad leader had helped me a lot.
He didn't know how to repay him. He thought it would be quite nice to have a bottle of iced drink in the summer. He also thought that such a repayment would be good.
Memories kept flooding into his mind, and Li Xiao couldn't help but blush when he thought of his childish words.
Shameful, really shameful.
The squad leader has helped me so much, and it is really outrageous that I just want to buy him a drink. Besides, given the environment of the squad leader's home, how can he care about his few bottles of drinks???
As for why he was not invited in the end, it is certainly not because Li Xiao was stingy and regretted it.
Li Xiao still remembers how he came back to get his transcript after the college entrance examination.
Although his grades were not ideal, they were far better than expected. After all, in everyone's eyes, a low-achieving person like Li Xiao would probably not be able to get into a bachelor's degree. He could only find a more ordinary college or university.
He went directly to work.
So I accidentally became an undergraduate, even if it was just a third-rate undergraduate, in fact, in the eyes of many people, I was already an extraordinary performer.
He was very excited when he got his report card, and just as he thought, his parents gave him a large amount of extra pocket money at that time, a full 1,000 yuan of pocket money, which was his food expenses for a full 100 days.
, it was really a huge sum of money for him at that time.
He originally thought that with the 1,000 yuan he had, it would be more than enough to treat the monitor to a meal, let alone treat him to a drink at the canteen.
However, what he never expected was that when he received the admission notice, he found that the monitor had not returned.
He still remembered that he said in the class's Penguin chat group that the monitor had been admitted to a foreign school. He heard it was a business school, and the start time there was different from that here, so the monitor had no time to come back here.
He received her admission letter and went directly to school.
Thinking of this incident, Li Xiao showed a nostalgic smile on his face
"Why don't you remember this? Besides, it's not that I didn't invite you, it's clearly because you didn't show up and broke the appointment."
The squad leader also had a helpless expression on his face and said a little embarrassedly,
"There's nothing I can do about it. I didn't expect that our university would start language courses in advance. My foreign language skills are not good to begin with, so I can only pass it in advance."
...........
While chatting, I walked into this small canteen.
The canteen is only 20 square meters at most, but there are 6 cashiers, and a few aunties are lazily lying on top of the 6 cashier positions.
After all, it's school time now, so normally no one would come to buy anything.
And the bosses will not scold these aunts for being lazy during working hours.
After all, everyone knows it, and the aunties who can work here are not simple people.
The monitor walked to the freezer and looked at the familiar drinks inside, with a hint of joy on his lips.
The purchaser here has not changed for so many years. She took out a bottle of orange-packaged milk.
Li Xiao also randomly picked a bottle of Feizhai Happy Water. Although his demand for drinks has become smaller and smaller after graduation, he can't get rid of the temptation of Feizhai Happy Water.
Looking at the orange packaged milk placed by the squad leader on the cashier counter, Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hey guys, these are people who have gone abroad to study in college, why are they still so superstitious?"
Li Xiao remembers the rumor that spread out from nowhere, saying that eating papaya can make breast muscles bigger.
However, the entire senior section of Donghua High School did not have any papaya products. But one day, the clever female high school student Bingxue discovered that the canteen under the teaching building actually had papaya milk, and among the canteens in the entire school, this was the only one that had papaya.
milk.
So whenever the canteen here replenishes papaya milk, there will be a long queue at the checkout counter. In the queue, female students hold more or less papaya milk.
The canteen has only one milk freezer with 9 floors in total. There are three flavors of milk, namely original, papaya and chocolate.
Some bored classmates have calculated that the sales of papaya milk are many times faster than any other milk. Those papaya milks will be sold out instantly in just three breaks at most.
Of course, Li Xiao sneered at the idea that papaya milk can strengthen breast muscles. If they just ate some papaya and drank some milk, they would be able to achieve their whimsical effects.
The beauty salons and plastic surgery hospitals all over the street are probably closed down.
However, Li Xiao didn't dare to say such words, drink whatever you like, after all, at this age, even if it is useful, it is probably useless.
Quickly scanning the QR code to pay, the two of them drank drinks and walked slowly towards Teacher Huang Yu's office.
At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class also rang, and Li Xiao couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw the student Li Xiao running away from him with a youthful smile on his face.
I really envy these children who can still go to school. I thought going to school was very hard back then, but who knew that graduation is the hardest thing.
Especially for graduates like him who have no help from their parents, it will be even harder after graduation.
You have to rely on your own hands and feet to create a space of your own in a strange big city. Only people who have been there can understand how difficult it is.
Li Xiao was a little lucky that he finally got over it.
But after thinking about it, the way I got through it seems a bit disgraceful. Others relied on their own efforts, but I relied on good luck to obtain a system and soared into the sky.
Otherwise, I might still have to live in that small rental house, and I would still be as shameless as before to come to school.
But he soon figured it out again, who said luck is not strength?
Since luck = strength, then system = luck, that is, system = strength.
Calculated in this way, I can be considered to have become famous in a certain field by relying on my strength.
Although he is not yet a well-known anchor, he can often inadvertently appear on the popularity list of the food section or the reward list. It can be said that he has surpassed 99% of anchors.
The two of them were so conspicuous that one could tell at a glance that they were not teachers in the school, let alone students.
Many people cast curious glances at the two of them, and some even pointed at them from far away. However, both of them were social people, so how could they care too much about the advice of these children.
Perhaps because he had communicated with Teacher Huang in advance, the monitor led Li Xiao into an office on the fourth floor with ease.
A familiar back figure appeared in Li Xiao's sight. Around this familiar figure, there were a circle of teachers, old or young, male or female, with expressions of nostalgia, remembrance, or happiness on their faces.
.
After all, everyone has different feelings about retirement, and some people may want to retire early.
However, many teachers who have taught all their lives are actually unwilling to retire easily, and may even consider re-employing them to work to continue to shine.
Because professions such as teachers, doctors, and security officers have attributes that are different from other professions.
Of course, this does not mean that teachers, doctors and security officers are inherently nobler than other professions, but it is due to the nature of their work.
It will take more effort and time than others.
Once a teacher really puts all her efforts into her teaching, she may not even have time to care about her own children.
However, the students he taught must have benefited a lot, but it is also certain that the other students paid far more than what he received, and the two were not proportional at all.
Li Xiao thought that he could read people very accurately, and he could easily tell the other person's age at a glance. However, this talent only failed for teachers. Just like the familiar figure in front of him, his hair was already completely white.
The retirement age for women is 50, so Teacher Huang Yu is only 50 this year, but her hair is already completely white, not normal gray, but completely white, and not even a single black hair can be seen. At first glance, she even thought that
He is an old man in his early 70s.
Seeing Teacher Wang's back, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little hot in his eyes. As a student who was admitted to Donghua High School from the lower town, his foundation was actually much worse than many of his classmates.
Even after the liberal arts and sciences were separated, there were problems of partiality and disconnection, but Teacher Huang Yu never gave up on him.
He remembered that the teacher's most common saying was, as long as you are willing to learn and as long as you don't give up, I will not give up.
Teacher Huang Yu has indeed done this. She is even willing to give up her only day off in a week to give extra free tutoring lessons to students with poor grades in the class.
Of course, this make-up class is not mandatory. You can take it if you want to. If you don't want to, you can take a normal break, because the teacher also understands that forceful teaching is not sweet. If you really don't want to come, it is better to have a good rest at home.
No one noticed these two uninvited guests who suddenly walked into the teaching room until the monitor said something
"Hello, teacher, thank you for your hard work."
Only then did everyone realize that two strangers suddenly walked into their office.
Teacher Huang Yu, who was packing her things, also turned around. She squinted her eyes first, and then immediately recognized the monitor. A smile broke out on his face, but he complained,
"Why are you really here? Isn't your new store about to open? It's time to spend more time preparing the store. Why do you come here to see me, an old guy?"
Then she looked towards Li Xiao behind the squad leader. She raised her reading glasses with her fingers and squinted for a long time. There was confusion and disbelief on her face. She hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Li Xiao? Is that you? Li Xiao?"
After saying that, she quickly turned her eyes to the squad leader with a very surprised tone.
"So, is that the Li Xiao from your class? The one you helped tutor?"
Before the squad leader nodded, Li Xiao spoke softly.
"Long time no see, Teacher Huang Yu. If you are right, I should be the Li Xiao you thought of."
Huang Yu quickly put down his movements of packing things and walked towards Li Xiao.
She patted Li Xiao's increasingly strong shoulders and said with emotion.
"What a good boy, your body is taller, stronger and more handsome than before."
Then she glanced at Li Xiao in confusion, then at the squad leader, with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Why do you two come over to see me when you have time? Could it be?"
Seeing the aunt's smile on Teacher Huang's face, Li Xiao knew that the other party must have misunderstood something, and quickly wanted to explain.
But Teacher Huang Yu was like a prophet who could predict the future. He waved his hand gently,
"Okay, okay, don't explain. We all understand. We are no longer children, we are all adults. What's the point of being embarrassed? It's good, it's good. I thought back then, you two can become
, I didn’t expect that I guessed it right, it’s pretty good, it can be regarded as lovers finally getting married.”
As she spoke, she patted Li Xiao on the shoulder with emotion.
Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, and the other party indeed misunderstood, but before he could explain, the squad leader blushed and said
"Teacher, you misunderstood. We don't have that kind of relationship."
Huang Yu was a little confused when she heard the squad leader's explanation. She took another look at the two people's stance, and found that the distance between them was indeed a bit far.
"Really? You are not high school students now and have already gone out to work. If you are really dating, you don't have to hide it. The teacher doesn't catch puppy love?"
The monitor quickly blushed and told Li Xiao about going to help. Only then did Huang Yu show an expression of realization. Although Li Xiao always felt that the other person's eyes were a little pity, the teacher still spoke quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I messed up a little bit. You see, I'm old and confused. It's time to retire." She said with emotion and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.
"The anchor is pretty good, but the teacher is already past the age of playing this live broadcast, otherwise I would definitely cheer you up and reward you with some kind of airplane or rocket, haha."
Li Xiao really wanted to say politely, "Teacher, if you are not old, you can still work for several years." But looking at the teacher's back getting more and more serious, he couldn't say the polite words on his lips. The teacher has indeed reached the age of retirement.
Already.
After working hard to teach and educate people all my life, I have reached the age where I can raise children and grandchildren for a thousand years.
I helped Teacher Huang pack up the things at his workstation. In fact, there were not many things to pack. After all, he was not dismissed temporarily. Some things that could be taken away in advance had already been taken away in advance.
After all, the teacher is not someone who likes to trouble others. She was not willing to ask a group of people to help her and carry a lot of things before she left.
Taking the things, the three of them left the teaching building under the watch of all the teachers, and the other teachers did not send them far.
It's not that they are unsympathetic, nor are they people who just want to have a good time.
Instead, the students had to do evening exercises later, and the teachers present couldn't get away at all.
The three of them walked towards the depths of the school. Teacher Huang Yu has a house in the school. You read that right, it's not a dormitory, but a house.
Although the work intensity of teachers working in Donghua High School is higher than that of teachers in many other schools, the benefits are also very good.
After five years of employment, the school will directly assign you a 80-square-meter apartment. You read that right, it's a house, not a dormitory.
However, the right to live in this house is only yours temporarily. You can let your family live in it, but you cannot rent it out, and you need to pay extra for water and electricity bills.
At the same time, after joining the school, the school will sign a contract. As long as the teacher has worked for 20 years, the ownership of the assigned house will be transferred to the name of the teacher.
In other words, as long as this teacher works in Donghua School for 20 years, he can get a house for free. You must know that the current housing prices in Dongguan are not low at all.
Although 20 years is a long time, it has indeed attracted a large number of teachers with excellent teaching skills to teach here.
After all, wherever you teach, you teach. If you teach a large number of good students, you will not only have a sense of accomplishment at work, but you will also get additional rewards from the school. As long as you work long enough, you can also get a house for free.
This is the downtown area of Dongguan City, and it is equipped with almost the best school district housing, which costs at least tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.
That is to say, as long as you work for 20 years, the school will give you a retirement reward of more than 800,000 yuan.
The reason why I call it a retirement reward is because 20 years is indeed a long time.
Many teachers who join the profession have graduate degrees and have worked in schools for 20 years, so they are basically in their forties or fifties.
And these teachers who have been working for 20 years will basically not leave their jobs in the last few years before retirement. After all, if they work for a few more years, they will get the house.
Moreover, if you have worked for 20 years or more, you are considered senior in school, and your energy level is no less than your younger years. You will usually be transferred to some easier grades, commonly known as retirement.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that a house that can be obtained in 20 years is called a retirement reward.
However, with high benefits, as a teacher at Donghua High School, you also have to bear a heavier workload, especially for someone like Teacher Huang Yu who is a class teacher. Starting at 6 a.m.
Work continues until all students have gone to bed.
Only then can the class teachers be truly free. It can be said that they have been with the students all day long. The working hours of the day are full, and there are more than ten hours.
Busy work also makes some teachers who did not date before joining the job find it difficult to date after joining the job.
Because I don’t have time to date at all, I can only take one and a half days off a week at most. Once it’s working day, I have so much work that I don’t even have time to connect on the phone.
As for the winter vacation and summer vacation, which everyone thought would be very relaxing, additional teacher training will also be conducted here.
After all, students need to keep improving, and so do teachers.
Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Once you stop learning, you will stop making progress.
Please give me some monthly votes, thank you all for your rewards.
I wish all the senior high school students who have read my book a place on the gold list.
