Chapter Nine hundred and eighty third life-changing mentor
When Zhao Mingyang returned to his hometown, he first saw the class beauty of the class next to them in middle school. At this time, the class beauty was setting up a stall on the roadside selling duck necks.
I have to say that she is still quite pretty. After all, she is 1.7 meters tall and her figure is not bloated, but she is indeed not as eye-catching as before. She feels that her skin has become a bit rough and her cheeks are very red.
I don’t use much skin care products.
Middle school and high school are the dividing line. Many good-looking girls in middle school drop out early. Most of them are delayed by early love. After all, no one pursues the unattractive ones.
Many girls in high school are not as good-looking as those in junior high school, but girls in junior high school are most likely to be missed by second-rate guys, who will coax and pursue them in various ways.
It is said that after graduating from middle school, this class beauty went to a technical secondary school for two years and met a man from out of town. The man’s family conditions were very average, and he was the kind of person who had no skills after leaving school.
Without money, the two got together early and even held a wedding reception.
Now that the children are no longer young, Zhao Mingyang also heard what other classmates said. Zhao Mingyang looked at her. At this time, she was not getting along well with another good-looking girl in Zhao Mingyang's class.
However, the past two years were unsatisfactory. Later, Zhao Mingyang heard that they all became live broadcast anchors and made a lot of money. In the end, one of the girls left with the big brother, got divorced, and did not want the children.
I have to say that in the early days when short videos became popular, as long as they were pretty and had some fun, they didn’t have to worry about money. Many men would rather reward hundreds or even thousands online for listening to a thank you boss, thank you brother, and they didn’t have the money to spend on it.
Go to the bathing center.
Zhao Mingyang really wanted to see how the people he met when he was in school were doing. It seemed that few of those who dropped out of school early were doing well, and some were committing crimes. If you pick one from a thousand miles, you can do a little bit at most.
Engineering does some business.
Zhao Mingyang was glad that he had made the right choice. When he was in middle school, he no longer wanted to go to school. He even started to get tired of studying. In high school, he was tired of studying at the beginning. Later, two words from two teachers changed him.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of studying is that you can move from one circle to another. You can work in an office, engage in engineering or business, or move bricks. You have more opportunities to choose.
The most important thing is that the value of studying is not in the years after graduation, nor in the thirties or forties, but rather in the value after the age of fifty.
Many people who drop out of school early make money really fast. After the age of 30 or 40, they start to slow down. After the age of 50, they no longer know what to do. It is better to learn a skill. If they have no skills, they will do physical work. Mainly in the 50s
People who come later pay more attention to the speed of adapting to the new era.
The times eliminate people quickly and cruelly, because basically many people who graduate from college work part-time in the workplace. There is a point where they are constantly hanging out with new young people, so they are exposed to more things.
Moreover, for many positions, qualifications are required, but when you get older, your qualifications will come out.
In the final analysis, it is the ability to adapt to society and adapt to the times. Most people who drop out of school early have an innate bug that the older they get, the more they like to disconnect from the circle of young people. If this is solved, the time to make money can be extended.
Zhao Mingyang looked at the scenery outside the window and got out of the car. Instead of buying duck necks, he walked directly towards a man in his fifties who was riding a bicycle. He was buying groceries on the roadside.
"Hello, Teacher Zheng, do you still remember me?" Zhao Mingyang took the initiative and shouted.
The middle-aged man looked back and was stunned at first. After a while, he looked at Zhao Mingyang carefully and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you~ Zhao Mingyang?"
"It's me, Teacher Zheng, you actually still remember me. I'm planning to visit you in a few days. Thank you for your teaching and encouragement." Zhao Mingyang said.
There are many kinds of teachers. Some teachers are disappointing, but some teachers can change a child's life.
This teacher Zheng changed Zhao Mingyang. At that time, Zhao Mingyang was very tired of studying in the first half of the third grade of junior high school and entered a rebellious period. He often went to Internet cafes with his classmates and hung out with a group of people. His studies were definitely getting worse and worse, and his grades were getting worse.
The decline was serious. At first, he was scared when teachers criticized education and called parents, but later he became numb.
Adolescent children need guidance, but most parents and teachers blame him. Zhao Mingyang secretly reads novels in class, and then writes some poems, short stories, and lyrics.
Other teachers confiscated some books and criticized him for not focusing on studying. Zhao Mingyang even wrote a plan for what he would do in the next few years, such as opening a bookstore so that he could have endless books.
, how to open a bookstore, how to operate it, location selection, etc.
In short, I just have random thoughts and don’t want to listen to the class and study. Teacher Zheng is Zhao Mingyang’s political teacher.
One day in class, Zhao Mingyang was habitually writing poems. He wrote for fun and didn't listen to the class. After all, politics was a side subject. Except for language and mathematics, the teachers in other courses seemed to have little presence. As a result, Teacher Zheng walked over.
In front of Zhao Mingyang, he directly saw the poems written by Zhao Mingyang and asked Zhao Mingyang if he could read them?
Zhao Mingyang was nervous at first, but later he didn't care. He just showed it to him. The worst he could do was to be criticized, which was nothing. It happened more than once.
As a result, Teacher Zheng said after reading: "Zhao Mingyang is very talented in literature. You write very well. You must persist. Do you have other works? Can you show them to me? You must persist and pass the exam."
If you go to a good liberal arts university and study Chinese, you might become a great writer in the future."
This was not the first time that Zhao Mingyang was praised for something related to his studies, and this teacher Zheng was really not kidding. He would ask Zhao Mingyang every now and then if he had written something new? He also encouraged Zhao Mingyang to go to school hard, and there must be more professional teachers in the university to guide him.
Let Zhao Mingyang not give up his interest.
Because of this encouragement, Zhao Mingyang soon stopped showing off. He began to adjust his mentality, imagining that he would go to college and study Chinese, and that his writing would be seen in the future.
What surprised Zhao Mingyang the most was that Teacher Zheng actually asked Zhao Mingyang for a manuscript and helped Zhao Mingyang submit it to the newspaper. Although it was not selected, a small page was published in a small magazine out of town and he was also given a certificate.
, Zhao Mingyang is so happy. For the first time, he feels that what he writes is valuable.
Zhao Mingyang had not met this teacher since he entered high school. He had never lost his temper in class and liked to communicate with his classmates. He never expected to meet him in this life.
Zhao Mingyang wanted to thank him. Now he thought about how much he helped him and indirectly changed Zhao Mingyang's life.
"You can do that. You can tell by your outfit that you are doing well. What are you doing now?" Teacher Zheng looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked.
"I'm just busy doing some small business with others. This is my business card. If you need my help in the future, just ask." Zhao Mingyang took out a business card from the business card holder and handed it to Teacher Zheng.
Looking at the texture of the business card, Teacher Zheng knew that this was not a small business. Looking at the business card, it was simple, Mingyang Investment Co., Ltd., Zhao Mingyang, and there was a phone number, but there was no specific job title.
Just know the company name.
"Oh, you are investing now, okay? I thought you were going to do some writing work. Are you still writing now?" Teacher Zheng looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, he always had a smile on his face.
"Write. I write planning plans every day. Paper and pen turned into typing on the keyboard. Thank you for your encouragement back then. It was also because of your encouragement that I kept writing. Later, I wrote plans faster than others." Zhao Mingyang said.
.
"You are still gifted. In fact, every child is gifted. Have you eaten? If not, go to my house for dinner," Teacher Zheng said.
"No, I have to go home first. Please give me your address and I will visit you in person at your home later." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Then you go home first, I live now..."
Zhao Mingyang watched the teacher leave, returned to the car and asked Xiao Hulu to drive to the townhouse he bought in his hometown.
There is no single-family villa project in my hometown. There will be one in the future, but they are not in the city. They are all in the suburbs. They are more than ten kilometers away from the city. In fact, they are Biye. They do not maintain their value. Villas that maintain their value must meet three conditions.
, transportation is convenient, medical care is Grade 3A, and education is a key focus of the city. If these three points are met, there will be no shortage of other living facilities in the surrounding area. This is a prime location.
Therefore, townhouses in urban areas are also expensive, and villas in the city are sky-high in big cities and are too scarce.
The townhouse Zhao Mingyang bought was 30% above ground and 1 floor underground. It had a separate garage. The yard of the house was not big, with an area of more than 130 square meters on one floor. This kind of house was considered very good in his hometown.
But in fact, this kind of row house is a sun room, with a total area of more than 300 square meters and three floors.
Zhao Mingyang returned home and put some gifts in the car in the garage. His parents were still busy with the pastry shop. They basically couldn't live in this house. They also lived in the large flat floor that Zhao Mingyang replaced in the city. The transportation is convenient there.
And lively.
This townhouse area is relatively quiet, there are not many businesses around this community, and it takes more than ten minutes to drive from the city center.
Zhao Mingyang's hometown, which is only ten minutes away, is very close to the townhouses in the city. Zhao Mingyang arranged for people to come and clean the townhouses regularly a few years ago.
Zhao Mingyang's trunk was full of tobacco, wine and tea. He took a Moutai handbag, which came with two bottles of Huazi and two bottles of Moutai as standard. Then he took a tea gift box, got everything ready and left in the car.
On the way, he told Xiao Gourd how to get there. He knew that it was not practical to give these things to Teacher Zheng, but he still had to give them to him. After all, these things were valuable.
I went to the seafood market and bought two boxes of seafood to put in foam boxes, and bought two pots of braised frozen mutton to put in the trunk. I went to the supermarket to buy some milk and nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people.
According to the address given by Teacher Zheng, when Zhao Mingyang arrived, he found that it was a very old community. After Zhao Mingyang arrived, he and Xiao Hulu delivered the things in large and small packages to Teacher Zheng's house.
His family lives on the fourth floor, and there are lines all over the stairs. There are no properties in this community.
"You said you, you came right here, why did you buy so many things? I took them all away in a while, I don't need anything." Teacher Zheng said, but he was happy in his heart. It was not an expensive gift from Zhao Mingyang, but from Zhao Mingyang.
There is a future.
Zhao Mingyang knows very well that you can't go empty-handed before and after the Spring Festival. You must bring something with you. This is a courtesy and lets people know that you still care about them and value them, and that they have weight in your heart.
"Come, drink some tea." Teacher Zheng invited Zhao Mingyang and Xiao Hulu to have tea. Xiao Hulu said that he would go downstairs and move the car to block the road. In fact, he just left and was waiting for Zhao Mingyang downstairs.
This was the first time that Zhao Mingyang entered Teacher Zheng's life. Soon after entering the house, Zhao Mingyang discovered that this home was abnormal, because all traces of life seemed to belong to Teacher Zheng alone.
Teacher Zheng looked at Zhao Mingyang and still smiled. He smiled and said: "You are the first student to come to my home. I am not the main teacher in the school, and I teach middle school. I am really happy that you can come.
.
You can take this thing back, I can't eat so much by myself, do you want to ask me how I can do it alone?"
Zhao Mingyang didn't say anything. He really didn't know Teacher Zheng's personal information.
"It's nothing strange. I'm not married. This is probably rare in the eyes of your parents. It's also rare for you. You are what everyone calls an old bachelor."
"Yes, it is indeed rare." Zhao Mingyang said.
"As for me, it's a long story. When I was young, I liked a girl, and the girl also liked me. But I went to college at that time. She and I were high school classmates. She went home before finishing high school.
, there are several younger brothers and sisters at home, and she has to help carry the burden for the family.
In the past, you know that there were many brothers and sisters in the family, and how could the elderly solve the family problems as quickly as possible when they had little ability to earn a living and were in poor health?" Teacher Zheng picked up the tea and took a sip.
Zhao Mingyang sighed and said, "My daughter is getting married."
Teacher Zheng patted Zhao Mingyang on the shoulder and said: "Sure enough, you have a smart mind. It seems like you are not working hard in Waibai.
You are right. When a daughter marries, if she marries a good family, the gift will be quite large. This has been a quick way to get a fortune quickly since ancient times.
Then when you have a son-in-law, the son-in-law's family can help your mother's family. This was really not uncommon in the past.
The girl I like is good at studies, but it's a pity that after she dropped out of school, she helped the family take care of her younger siblings. Her father is also in poor health and did not continue to go to school. If she can get into college, she will definitely get into Nanjing Normal University, which she wants to go to.
.
Later, her family arranged a marriage for her to a relatively wealthy family in the town. She did not agree with it at the time, but her family needed this marriage so much.
So in that situation, she really had no choice. She could just walk away, but people of our generation place too much emphasis on family values and all value sacrifice.
Do you know what is the cruelest thing in this world?"
Zhao Mingyang lowered his head and said nothing. He had never expected that such a cheerful person would be over sixty and unmarried. So how many rumors had he suffered? How did he survive it?
You know, at his age, he has a good job and is single, so he rarely leaves. Moreover, the environment, the buzz, and the spittle could kill a person.
Zhao Mingyang poured a cup of tea for the teacher and said, "You said it, and I listened. I'm sorry, I only found out about you."
