Gong Hongru, the head teacher of Class 1, Grade 3, stood at the gate of the school with a bright face, talking to Na Gang, the school's dean of discipline, principal Guo Qida and others, looking up eagerly.
At the school gate, a banner with red background and white characters was hanging above, with the words "Warmly welcome Li Qing to return to his alma mater to study" printed on it.
"Principal Guo."
The dean of students just turned around and looked at the banner. He felt it was dazzling, so he couldn't help but said: "Isn't that a singer in the entertainment industry?"
"Why not?"
Before the principal could speak, Gong Hongru, who was designated as Li Qing's class teacher, raised his voice in a loud voice: "Li Qing's current achievements are extraordinary, don't underestimate them! Back then, I felt that this kid was not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he would have great achievements.
Promising! Look, not only has he won so many awards, but it has also been widely reported by the media in the past two days. If you don’t understand, go to the newsstand and buy a newspaper to see how popular Li Qing is now! He can put his mind to it and come back.
Studying at your alma mater naturally requires a warm welcome."
"But no matter what, his identity is just a student." Hearing Gong Hongru say this, Na Gang's brows furrowed even deeper, with a hint of vent and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Gong Hongru smiled and responded with more disdain: "Is your status as a student valuable? Do you know how much a song by Li Qing is worth?"
Principal Guo Qida felt a slight headache after hearing this, and quickly stopped the confrontation between the two. Just at this moment, several cars slowly drove up not far away.
As soon as Guo Qida saw the license plate, his heart trembled.
After the car stopped at the school gate, he hurriedly walked forward to greet him. As he walked, he said with a smile: "Director Liu is here. Sometimes you are not welcomed from afar, but sometimes you are not welcomed from afar."
"Hey, you old Guo, why are you so polite to me?" Liu Yun, the education director of Xuzhou City, smoothed the sparse hairline on the top of his head, shook hands with Guo Qida, then looked around and asked: "Li
Qing hasn’t come yet?”
"No, we just received the news, no, we are waiting for it!" Guo Qida said with a smile.
Liu Yun was a little excited: "Lao Guo, you can seize the opportunity this time and do a vigorous publicity. I have invited comrades from the TV station for you in advance. You must perform well. Tonight, Xuzhou News and Jizhou News will promote your school.
The key point is that Li Qing’s current influence is extraordinary, and he has appeared in the headlines of major newspapers for several days in a row!”
When Guo Qida heard this, he glanced at the men and women who had just stepped out of the two cars on the side. Two or three of them were familiar to him. They were reporters from Xuzhou TV and had dealt with him, the principal of No. 1 Middle School.
But the other three were a bit unfamiliar, and they were probably journalists from the provincial capital.
Their expressions looked rather aloof, and in the face of everyone's glances, they sorted out the camera equipment and interview supplies in their hands without saying a word.
"Did you see that?" Gong Hongru said in a low voice next to Na Gang: "Even Director Liu personally visited, and reporters from the provincial capital came all the way. Do you think Li Qing deserves our welcome?"
I was speechless for a moment.
At this time, the leaves of the surrounding sycamore trees, which were full of greenery, were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound.
At the other end of the horizon, a black Santana car drove slowly.
Everyone stared at each other, and several reporters from the provincial capital looked at each other one after another. Then, the photographer quickly set up the machine and started taking pictures of the Santana car.
A moment later, the Santana stopped in front of the entrance of No. 1 Lieutenant Colonel Xuzhou. The first person to step out was a pair of slender legs tightly wrapped in jeans. Then, a woman who looked like a fairy in everyone's eyes stepped out.
car.
Liu Qin glanced at the bustling scene in front of him and smiled slightly.
Everyone was stunned, their minds filled with questions.
Not Li Qing?
But this thought hadn't disappeared yet. On the other side of the carriage, a longer leg stepped onto the land, and then, a sunny, handsome, clean-cut young man appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at that handsome face that was so handsome that it made people tremble, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and for a moment they felt "trembling" and tears filled their eyes.
It’s Li Qing!
As the class teacher, Gong Hongru was the first to step forward, smiled and held Li Qing's hand: "Welcome Li Qing to return to his alma mater to study. Hello Li Qing, I am your class teacher for the third year of high school, Gong Hongru."
Li Qing was startled by the scene in front of him, especially when he saw the banner welcoming him posted above the school. He immediately felt like he was speechless, staring at the sky and crying in the wind.
However, he still put away his negative emotions and shook hands with Gong Hongru with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Gong."
Gong Hongru took the lead, and the others put aside their sense of strangeness and distance from the stars and stepped forward to shake hands with Li Qing.
After some introductions, Li Qing came back to his senses. Looking at his journalist friends from the provincial capital, reporters from local TV stations, and officials from the Education Bureau, he suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart.
During this period, Father Li and Mother Li, who stepped out of the car, looked at each other in disbelief when they saw the side of their son's dealings hidden under his glorious appearance.
Li Xiangyong whispered: "Are we a little selfish?"
"What?" Meng Xiuzhi glanced at her husband in confusion.
Li Xiangyong said: "Qing'er's current grades are already good enough. He can now support himself and start a family. It is not a problem for him to come back to college now. It would be overkill."
Meng Xiuzhi looked at her son silently, remembering that neighbors had been visiting her home one after another in the past two days, holding the latest newspaper and pointing at her son's photo and news for her to see. After a while, she said: "Then... wait until we get back.
Ask?"
Li Xiangyong sighed and looked at Li Qing, who was holding the moon among the stars. For a moment, he felt complicated and unspeakable.
At the beginning of the year, he did have a long-cherished wish that he could not ignore, which was that his son must be admitted to college.
No matter how future generations view college students, in this era, the only way for students from poor families to achieve great success is basically to go to college. Otherwise, you have to go north to south and become a salaryman with a salary of only 300 yuan a month.
After entering college, it is like stepping into another world.
Although in 1996, the country introduced a series of policies to cancel the package allocation system for college students, this modest policy will not be implemented for a while, and it will not be officially implemented until 2000 at the earliest.
During this period of time, college students are still a gold-plated existence.
The graduation package allocation is only one of the guarantees. If you are not satisfied with the job allocation, you can naturally change jobs at any time. If you enter a private company, the entry salary of college students is generally much higher than that of others, especially in first- and second-tier cities.
In an era when enrollment has not yet been expanded, today's college students are truly the pride of heaven, and they walk with sparkling special effects.
But now, with the continuous exposure of his son Li Qing's achievements in the news media, the constant explanations from people around him, the envy and compliments of relatives and friends, a general concept has gradually formed in the minds of Li's father and Li's mother.
This concept made Father Li and Mother Li gradually understand that their son's current career was completely beyond the reach of ordinary college students.
Even if he doesn't go to college, his son can still live a decent life and even be sought after by thousands of people! (To be continued.)
