Chapter 292 There is no potential to be a corrupt official
"Guo Guo, can't you sleep? You're tossing and turning, so I can't sleep either."
There were not many people on the train. After getting on the train, I fell directly on the sleeper on the ninth day of the lunar month. After midnight, I didn't feel any sleepiness.
"Maybe it's too noisy, but I'm not sleepy at all."
I gave a random reason. In fact, I didn't know why I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking wildly in my mind.
"Tch, I think you miss Teacher Ding or Sister Xiaoyu."
Chu Jiu poked his head out from the upper bunk and asked me unwillingly if the Little Overlord game console could be connected to the computer to play.
This is a question that bothers me. Regarding the Overlord game console, all I know about it is that Jackie Chan is holding the game console on a large billboard in the shopping mall: "Hope for your son, Jackie Chan, Little Overlord."
As for whether it can be connected to a computer, how do I know? I saw it on a billboard when connecting to a TV.
"Guoguo, Brother Wanli gave me a special trick before, which is called the two-minute sleep technique for soldiers."
When I saw you on the ninth day of the lunar month, I couldn't explain why, so I changed the subject again.
"The soldier's two-minute method of falling asleep? How come I didn't know he told you this?"
I'm actually quite surprised that when we go on missions with Wan Li, we are basically together.
Wan Li only chatted with us about trivial matters in life and rarely talked about the knowledge he learned in the army.
Chujiu always said that Wanli taught him this and that.
"Haha, I pestered him and asked him questions when I had the chance. I learned how to tell him the more I asked him."
It seemed that Chujiu was determined to try out the so-called soldier's two-minute method of falling asleep on me.
Seeing me nodding in agreement, Chujiu asked me to lie down on the berth, relax my whole body, and follow the steps he told me.
First, gently close your eyes, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and begin to relax your head, then your forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, and shoulders.
When it was my arm's turn, Chujiu told me to use my mind to relax all the way down to my fingers.
Next is the legs, relaxing all the way to the toes.
The last and most important step, when my breathing became steady, the ninth day of the lunar month reminded me that I was lying on a canoe, with the blue sky above my head and the endless sea water below me.
Suddenly, my eyelids felt heavy, followed by a deep sense of sleepiness. I was about to tell Chujiu that this trick was quite effective, but I found that I didn't even have the strength to open my mouth, and my head became heavier and heavier.
"Guo Guo, we're at the station, you're too sleepy, aren't you? I can't even wake you up if I buy lunch."
Chujiu looked at me in surprise like a monster. It was just a common method to fall asleep quickly, but I actually slept for more than ten hours.
It was really boring to wake up at dawn on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. When the conductor came pushing the breakfast cart, he bought a breakfast.
When the breakfast cart came back, I bought another one on the ninth day of the lunar month.
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't wake up. Based on the thought of shameful waste, I simply finished another breakfast on the ninth day of the lunar month.
The first thing we did after getting off the bus was how to place our down jackets.
The temperature in Chongqing makes it impossible to use this thing, and the backpack on my body is full of various items.
Finally, on the ninth day of the lunar month, I bought two bottles of drinks from the canteen next to the station, and I asked the boss for an extra large plastic bag that was said to be worth fifty cents.
There were no changes in the school. The concierge at the gate did not even bother to raise his eyelids when Chujiu and I entered the school during school hours.
"Guo Guo, look! Some of my classmates are actually wearing skirts. I was wearing the down jacket yesterday."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I felt like I had discovered a new continent. I lamented that our country is really big and the gap between the north and the south is so obvious.
Unlike some small countries, the weather forecast is only one sentence: rainfall is expected across the country.
"Chujiu, where did you learn all this? It would be a waste not to be a comedian."
As we suspected, the trio in the dormitory did not disappoint us as always, and they did not go to class.
Seeing Chujiu and I walking into the dormitory, Zhiyong, whom we hadn't seen for many days, excitedly shouted: "Dinner is on the second floor of the school cafeteria."
On the second floor of the cafeteria, I was treated like a transparent person again.
It turns out that Zhiyong and the others are so excited not because they haven’t seen me for several days, but because the game has released a new level and they are waiting for Chujiu to crack it.
In fact, there are some benefits to being treated as a little transparent. When chatting with them, you can pick up two more chopsticks of popular dishes.
Finally coming out of the cafeteria, Zhiyong, Liu Yang and Zhang Feng murmured that they felt like they were not full even though there were so many dishes.
Chujiu touched his swollen belly and showed a surprised smile. His stomach was full of food.
When I passed by a public phone booth, I called Wan Li back and called Uncle Ding so we could go back to school.
Wan Li was probably busy with something, so he told me that he already knew that we were returning to Chongqing in the morning, and the mission allowance of 1,100 yuan was credited to our bank card, and he hung up the phone in a hurry.
"Guo Guo, isn't the department too stingy?"
On the ninth day of the lunar month, he counted up the round-trip travel expenses and other expenses for the two of them. Excluding the allowance for this trip to Shanxi, he actually got more than 100 yuan in subsidies.
Chujiu is definitely a good resource for doing business, but I feel inferior to him in his method of calculating costs.
The red wine I bought for my parents, the dumplings and side dishes Zhang Jun bought at the brick factory, and the drinks and tape recorder he bought for Mr. Zhuan when we left were all included in the mission allowance.
Calculating it this way, the department's subsidy is indeed not enough to cover our expenses for this trip.
"Chujiu, you still need to improve."
"Guo Guo, what did I miss? Oh, by the way, there is also a down jacket. We paid more than 200 yuan for it."
"You forgot to count the dumplings Zhang Feng treated us to."
Chujiu stared at me for a moment, and then nodded suddenly. He miscalculated, miscalculated. It seems that he has no potential to be a corrupt official.
In fact, when we were in Anhui before, Mr. Xu clearly told us that task allowances are not very objective.
I didn't take it seriously at the time, until we went on three missions in a row, from Mianyang City to Kunming and then to Shanxi. The actual allowances we received for Chujiu and I were less than 2,000 each, and the mission in Kunming was a pseudo-AAA level mission.
.
Thinking of the bankbook my grandfather gave me, the 90,000 yuan in it was his allowance for decades, and I felt sad.
How many days and nights of missions did it take to accumulate so much? I don’t know how he and his uncle are doing now, and whether everything is going well.
"Guo Guo, what are you thinking about?"
Chujiu looked back at me, who was dazed behind him, and asked in confusion.
"Uncle Ding asked us to go to the Chamber of Commerce on the weekend. There seems to be a small job that we need to help with."
Looking at the carefree Chujiu, I really couldn't bear to tell him that I missed my grandpa and uncle, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
