Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 213

Li Xiao was in a daze. The monitor's words instantly opened up some memories that had been dusty for many years.

It should be the last few days before the exam. The two discussed the review questions. To be precise, the monitor was tutoring Li Xiao in the class.

The two of them are also accustomed to this. This kind of tutoring is usually carried out in the classroom after school at noon. Of course, they are never the only ones in the classroom, and there are usually seven or eight other students.

Class ends at 11:30, and they review until 12:10 before rushing to the canteen.

Li Xiao remembered that he was looking at the countdown slogan and at the canteen under the teaching building. He had forgotten what he was thinking at the time.

However, he remembered that he told the class monitor: When I am admitted to the undergraduate course, I will invite the monitor to drink, and you can drink whatever you like.

Li Xiao was not rich back then. For a week's boarding, her mother only paid 60 yuan for food, which was exactly 10 yuan a day.

The food expenses of 60 yuan are only enough for three meals a day, and the food is not good. Once there are any extra expenses, they have to ask their parents for it.

After all, an ordinary dish with meat costs 2 yuan. Fortunately, the rice and soup were free at that time, otherwise Li Xiao guessed that he would starve to death in high school.

So Li Xiao, who was in a tight financial situation back then, was actually quite courageous to be able to say something like asking the squad leader to drink casually.

At that time, he was thinking that if he was admitted to the undergraduate course, his parents would not be able to reward him with some pocket money, and the monitor could drink whatever he liked.

At that time, the reason why such an idea came up was not any other thoughts. After all, the squad leader helped me too much.

He didn't know how to repay, he thought it would be quite good to have a bottle of iced drink in the summer, and he also thought that such a repayment was also very good.

Memories kept coming to my mind, Li Xiao couldn't help but blush when thinking of her childish words back then.

Shame, really shame.

The squad leader has helped me so much, it's really outrageous that I just want to invite the other party to have a drink. Besides, given the environment of the squad leader's house, how can it be possible for me to care about those bottles of drinks? ? ?

As for why he wasn't invited in the end, of course it wasn't that Li Xiao was stingy and repented.

Li Xiao still remembered the matter of going back to get the report card after the college entrance examination.

Although his grades are not ideal, they are far better than expected. After all, in the eyes of everyone, a crane like Li Xiao might not be able to get into an undergraduate degree. He can only find a more ordinary junior college, or I went straight to work.

So he accidentally became an undergraduate student, even if he was only a third-rate undergraduate student, in the eyes of many people, he had already performed exceptionally well.

He was very happy when he got the report card, and just as he thought, his parents gave him a large amount of pocket money at that time, a full 1000 yuan of pocket money, which was his food expenses for a full 100 days , At that time, it was really a huge sum of money for him.

He originally thought that he had the 1000 yuan, not to mention treating the squad leader to a drink at the canteen, even if he wanted to treat the other party to dinner, it might be more than enough.

However, what he never expected was that when he received the admission notice, he found that the monitor hadn't come back.

He still remembered that the penguin chat group of the class said that the class leader had already been admitted to a foreign school. I heard that it was a business school, and the start time there was different from here, so the class leader had no time to come back here. Picked up her acceptance letter and went straight to school instead.

Thinking of this incident, Li Xiao showed a nostalgic smile on his face.

"How can you not remember this?? Besides, it wasn't that I didn't invite you back then. It's obviously because you didn't show up and broke the appointment."

The squad leader also showed a helpless expression on his face, and said with some embarrassment,

"That's no way. I didn't expect our university to start language courses in advance. My foreign language level is not good, so I can only pass in advance."

While chatting, they walked into this small canteen.

The canteen is only 20 square meters at most, but there are 6 cashiers, and above the 6 cashier positions, there are a few aunts lying lazily or lying down.

After all, it was class time, and normally no one would come to buy things.

And the bosses will not reprimand these aunts for being lazy during working hours.

After all, she knows everything, and the aunts who can come to work here are not simple people.

The squad leader walked to the front of the freezer and looked at the familiar drink inside, with a hint of joy on the corner of his mouth.

The purchaser here has not changed for so many years, and she took out a bottle of orange-packed milk from it.

Li Xiao also randomly picked out a bottle of Fat House Happy Water. Although his demand for drinks has become smaller and smaller after graduation, he still can't get rid of the temptation of Fat House Happy Water.

Looking at the orange packaged milk that the monitor put on the cashier, Li Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, good guy, this is someone who has been abroad and finished college, why is he still so superstitious.

Li Xiao remembers the gossip that came out of nowhere, saying that eating papaya can make the chest muscles bigger.

However, there is no papaya product in the entire high school of Donghua High School, but one day the smart female high school student discovered that the canteen downstairs in the teaching building actually has papaya milk, and this is the only canteen in the whole school that has this kind of papaya. milk.

So whenever the canteen here replenishes papaya milk, there will be a long queue at the cash register, and the female students in the queue are holding more or less papaya milk.

There is only one freezer for milk in the canteen. There are 9 floors in total. There are three flavors of milk, namely original, papaya and chocolate.

A boring classmate has counted that the sales of papaya milk are several times faster than any other. Those papaya milks will be sold out in an instant after only 3 breaks at most.

Of course, Li Xiao scoffed at the saying that papaya milk can strengthen the chest muscles. If they just eat some papaya and drink some milk, they can achieve their whimsical effect.

The beauty salons and plastic surgery hospitals all over the street are probably all closed down.

But Li Xiao dare not say such a thing, 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 walked slowly towards Teacher Huang Yu's office while drinking drinks.

At this time, the bell for the end of get out of class also rang, and Li Xiao, a student with a youthful smile on his face running away from him, couldn't help but smile knowingly.

I really envy these children who can still go to school. Back then, I thought going to school was very hard, but who knew that graduation was the hardest thing.

Don't be a graduate like him without the help of his parents, it will be even harder after graduation.

Only those who have experienced it can understand how difficult it is to rely on your own hands and feet to work hard to create a space of your own in a strange big city.

Li Xiao was a little thankful that he had survived.

But after thinking about it, the way I survived seems a bit disgraceful. Others rely on their own efforts, but I rely on good luck to obtain a system, so that I can soar into the sky.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I will still have to live in that small rental house, and I will still be the same as before, with no face to come to school.

But soon he figured it out again, who said that luck is not strength?

Since luck = strength, then system = luck, that is, system = strength.

Calculated in this way, he can be regarded as relying on his strength to become famous in a certain field.

Although he is not yet a well-known anchor, he can often inadvertently be on the popularity list or tipping list in the food area. It can be said that he has surpassed 99% of the anchors.

The two of them were too conspicuous, and one could tell at a glance that they were not teachers in the school, let alone students.

Many people cast curious eyes on the two of them, and some who were far away even pointed at them. However, both of them are social people, so why would they care too much about these children's pointers?

Perhaps because he had communicated with Mr. Huang in advance, the monitor took Li Xiao into an office on the 4th floor with ease.

A familiar figure from the back appeared in Li Xiao's line of sight. Around this familiar figure, there was a circle of teachers, old or young, male or female, with nostalgic or nostalgic or happy expressions on their faces. .

After all, everyone's feelings about retirement are different, and some people may think about retiring earlier.

However, many teachers who have taught for a lifetime are actually unwilling to retire easily, and may even consider re-employment to work and continue to shine.

Because the professions of teachers, doctors, and security officers have their own attributes that are different from other professions.

Of course, this is not to say that teachers, doctors, and security officers are naturally nobler than other professions, but because of the nature of his work.

It takes more effort and time than others.

Once a teacher really puts all her energy 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 what is also certain is that the other party paid far more than he gained, and the two were simply out of proportion.

Li Xiao thinks that he is very accurate in seeing people, and can easily tell the age of the other party at a glance, but this talent is only ineffective in the group of teachers, just like the familiar figure in front of him, whose hair is already all white.

The retirement age for women is 50, so Mrs. Huang Yu's age is only 50 this year, but her hair is all white, not normal gray, but all white, and I can't even see a black hair. 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 town below, his foundation was actually much worse than many of his classmates.

There was even a problem of partiality and disconnection after the division of arts and sciences, but Mr. Huang Yu never gave up on him.

He remembered that the teacher often said that as long as you are willing to learn, as long as you don't give up, I will not give up.

And Teacher Huang Yu has indeed done this. She is even willing to give up the only day off in a week to give extra free supplementary 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, and you can take a rest if you don’t want to, because the teacher also understands that the melon that is twisted is not sweet, if you really don’t want to come, it’s better to rest at home.

No one noticed these two uninvited guests who suddenly walked into the teaching room, until the monitor said something

"Hi teacher, teacher, you have worked hard."

All the people realized that suddenly two strangers walked into their office.

Teacher Huang Yu, who was packing up her things, also turned her head. She squinted her eyes first, and then immediately recognized the monitor. A smile appeared 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 for the work of the store. Why do you come to see me, an old guy?"

Then she looked at Li Xiao who was behind the class monitor. She raised her reading glasses with her fingers, squinted her eyes for a long time, her face showed doubts and disbelief, she hesitated for a while before speaking

"Li Xiao? Is that you? Li Xiao?"

After finishing speaking, when she quickly cast her eyes on the squad leader, her tone was very surprised
"Then, is that the Li Xiao from before your class? The one you helped tutor?"

Before the squad leader nodded, Li Xiao spoke softly

"It's been a long time, Mr. Huang Yu. If you're right, I should be the Li Xiao you think of."

Huang Yu hurriedly put down the movement of packing up things, and walked towards Li Xiao.

She patted Li Xiao's increasingly robust shoulder and said with emotion

"Good boy, your body is taller, stronger and more handsome than before."

Then she glanced at Li Xiao in doubt, then at the monitor, with a mysterious smile on her face

"Why do you two come to see me together 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 hurriedly wanted to explain.

But Mr. Huang Yu was like a prophet who didn't know the future, he waved his hand lightly,
"Okay, okay, don't explain anymore, I understand everything, I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult now, what's there to be embarrassed about, it's fine, it's fine, I thought back then, the two of you can grow up , I didn’t expect that it really made me guess right, it’s pretty good, it can be regarded as a lover who finally gets married.”

As she spoke, she patted Li Xiao's shoulder with emotion.

Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth, and the other party really misunderstood, but before he could explain, the squad leader blushed and said

"Teacher, you misunderstood, the two of us are not in that kind of relationship."

Huang Yu was a little confused when she heard the squad leader's explanation. She took another look at the standing posture of the two of them. The distance between them was indeed a bit far.

"Really? You are not high school students and you have already come out to work. If you are really dating, you don't need to hide it. The teacher won't catch puppy love?"

The squad leader blushed quickly, and told about Li Xiao's help, Huang Yu showed a suddenly realized expression. Although Li Xiao always felt that the other party's eyes were a bit pity, the teacher still spoke quickly

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I messed up the mandarin ducks. You see, I'm getting old and confused. It's time to retire." She patted Li Xiao's shoulder with emotion
"The anchor is also very good, but the teacher is already past the age of playing this live broadcast, otherwise I will definitely go to cheer you up and reward you with a plane, a rocket, haha."

Li Xiao really wanted to say politely, teacher, you are not old, and you can still work for several years, but seeing the teacher's back getting worse, he couldn't say the polite words that were on his lips, and the teacher has indeed reached the age of retirement .

After working hard to teach and educate people for a lifetime, it is time to reach the age of raising children and grandchildren for thousands of years.

Helping Teacher Huang pack up the things on the station, in fact, there are not many things to pack up, after all, it is not a temporary dismissal, some things that could be taken away early have already been taken away in advance.

After all, the teacher is not someone who likes to trouble others. She is not willing to ask a group of people to help her when she leaves, carrying a lot of things.

Holding the things, the three of them left the teaching building under the watchful eyes of a group of teachers, and the other teachers did not send them far.

It's not that they are unfeeling, nor is it that some people take the tea.

Instead, the students will have evening exercises later, and the teachers present can'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. I read correctly that it is not a dormitory, but a house.

Although teachers working in Donghua High School have a higher work intensity than teachers in many other schools, the benefits are also very good.

After 5 years of employment, the school will directly allocate an 80-square-meter apartment. You read it correctly, it is a housing, not a dormitory.

However, the right to live in this house is only yours for the time being. You can let your family live in it, but you cannot rent it out, and you need to pay extra for water and electricity.

At the same time, after entering the job, 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 the teacher has worked in Donghua School for 20 years, he can get a house for free. You must know that the 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 come here to teach.

After all, wherever I teach, I teach. If I teach a large number of good students, I not only have a sense of job accomplishment, but also get extra rewards from the school. As long as I work long enough, I can get a house for nothing.

This is the downtown area of ​​Dongguan City, and it is equipped with almost the best school district housing, at least tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.

That is to say, as long as you have worked for 20 years, the school will give you a retirement reward of more than 80 yuan.

The reason why it is called a retirement reward is that 20 years is indeed a long time.

Many of the recruited teachers are postgraduate graduates, have worked in schools for 20 years, and are basically in their 50s or [-]s.

And these teachers who have worked for 20 years will basically not leave rashly in the last few years before retirement. After all, after working for a few years, the house will be in hand.

What's more, if you have worked for 20 years, you are considered old in school, and your energy is not as young as you are young. Usually, you will be transferred to some relatively easy grades, commonly known as old-age care.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this house that can be obtained in 20 years is called a retirement reward.

However, at the same time as the high welfare, as a teacher of Donghua High School, the work to be undertaken is also heavier, especially for Mr. Huang Yu, who is the class teacher, and it is even more difficult to get rid of it, starting at 6 o'clock in the morning Work until all students have gone to bed.

Only the class teachers can really be free. It can be said that they have been with the students all day long, and they have a full day's work, and there are more than ten hours.

Busy work also makes some teachers who have not dated before joining the job unable to date after joining the job.

Because there is no time to date at all, at most one and a half days off a week, once it is a working day, there is so much work that there is no time to connect to the phone.

As for the winter and summer vacations that everyone thought would be very leisurely, there will be additional teacher training 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.

Ask for some monthly tickets, thank you for your rewards.

I wish all the third-year students who have read my book, the title of the gold list.
