we are just monsters

Chapter 48

June draws to a close and then comes July.

Gu Cheng got up to wash up as usual, and a ghost squatted beside him with wide eyes looking at him.

In the hot summer, in fact, if there is a ghost in the bathroom, it is quite cool and shady.

Spit out the water in your mouth, dry your face and hands, pack your bag and prepare to go out, skip breakfast.

I am a modern young man, so it is reasonable to skip breakfast.

To disguise one's identity and start from the details, one has long been familiar with it, and it's definitely not because of laziness.

The sun is getting hotter and hotter, and it has already exerted its power early in the morning, making people irritated.

The bus passed the street, stuffed to the brim, like a behemoth with a full stomach, walking through this steel jungle.

When Gu Cheng arrived at the school, Lao Qi was already standing at the school gate to catch late students.

This old man is in good spirits, and the vigor of the students is very contagious, making people feel that they have become younger unconsciously.

"Morning, Teacher Qi!"

"Um……"

Just as Lao Qi was about to say hello, he saw a kid running towards the school, he didn't speak to Gu Cheng immediately, and took a step forward to stop that guy.

"Where's your school uniform?"

"My mother forgot to dry it after washing it." The other party replied.

Lao Qi's face became serious, Gu Cheng smiled, and pushed the battery car into the school, and there was a conversation between Lao Qi and the students from behind.

It's not easy to be a head teacher, and most of the time it's not that Lao Qi wants to be strict. He not only has to worry about the affairs of the class, but also perfunctory the principal and so on.

When the flag is raised today, if you don’t wear a school uniform, you will be noticed by the principal. If you notice, you will ask which class you are in. If you know which class it is, you will find Lao Qi...

Broke my heart.

Entering the office, Chen Mengmeng has already arrived. It is rare to come earlier, holding a small fan in his hand and blowing on it. Seeing Gu Cheng, he turned sideways and turned around, "Mr. Gu, do you want to attend the parent meeting?"

Gu Cheng pulled his chair away and said, "Isn't it Lao Qi's business?"

"I heard that they want you to participate, and depending on the situation, they will only teach the third grade in the semester. It seems that they want you to be the head teacher."

"It's a fool, it's fine with me."

"Yes, only a fool." Li Mingcheng laughed at the side.

"Only you are smart."

Chen Mengmeng didn't dare to be happy, Lao Qi was quite serious, she was not as familiar with Gu Cheng and Li Mingcheng, it was embarrassing to be heard.

"You are actually quite suitable. After two years of hard work, you can still lose weight as a class teacher, which is very good."

"But it will lose your hair."

"You have quite a lot of hair." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Li Mingcheng's bald head, feeling a little sorry, why did he bring up such a sad topic of hair again.

Li Mingcheng took good care of the few remaining hairs, and he didn't know what to do with them, so he simply shaved them off to save trouble... Gu Cheng couldn't understand, the old man seemed to be inexplicably stubborn about his hair.

Anyway, if it was him, it would be better to just shave his head if he was more than half bald-it's a pity that he won't grow old.

Life is incomplete.

There was only one class in the morning. When preparing to do exercises during the big break, the studio played songs. Gu Cheng helped Lao Qi supervise the students in the class. When he looked up, he saw Xia Xiaoman following the rhythm of the students on the roof in the distance Warm up by kicking your legs and swinging your arms, ready to do radio gymnastics.

"One two three four five six seven eight two two three four five six seven eight..."

The ghost started jumping on the roof.

Gu Cheng looked back silently, being a ghost is very boring, no one sees, no one talks to, just stay quietly all day.But even so, there are still many people who are unwilling to reincarnate.

It was cooler in the afternoon, and large clouds covered the sun from time to time, and were blown away by the wind.

The school is full of anxiety before the holiday, and the students who are not afraid of the heat on the playground are still playing table tennis during recess.

After this summer vacation, it was time for the third-year students to leave, some went to high school, some went to technical secondary school, Gu Cheng stood in the corridor and looked at the third-year students on campus.

He noticed that a fat middle-aged man had been looking at him, so he couldn't help but look over.

"Hello." The fatty pushed his glasses and greeted him.

"Hello."

Gu Cheng looked at him, it was the parents who were waiting for the parent-teacher meeting.

"you are a teacher?"

"Yes, I'm the Chinese teacher in their class, my surname is Gu." Gu Cheng nodded and said, this group of parents and Lao Qi are very familiar, but the other substitute teachers don't know that well.

"I watched it for a long time, you look like a teacher like me!" The fat man was surprised.

"..."

Gu Cheng took a careful look at him, but had no impression.

"Really, you're also in Baicheng? I'll take a look when I have time, maybe I know you." He said calmly.

The fat man shook his head, "No, it's quite far away, in the corner of Bashu Mountain." He raised his finger to the distance, and said with a smile, "My teacher...has been around for so many years, he should have retired."

"That's a pity."

"Mr. Gu, do your family members also work as teachers?"

"No."

"Oh, I still said it was such a coincidence." The fat man shook his head regretfully.

"Do you remember all these years?" Gu Cheng smiled.

"How could I forget! In those years, my family's conditions were not very good, so I took a steamed bun and pickles to school for lunch..."

Fatty wasn't too embarrassed when he said it, no matter how hard it was, it was over, but he couldn't forget the figure who gave him half of the meal at noon.

Gu Cheng turned his head sideways, looked at his chubby fleshy face, and gradually connected it with the thin body in his impression.

It seemed that there was such a thing. At that time, the school was too far away. Many people brought lunch to school and didn’t have to go home again. Some people only brought a piece of steamed bun and water.

A gust of wind blew, and most of the summer heat was gone. When the class bell rang, the fat man was taken aback.

He was in a trance just for a moment, thinking that he had returned to the time when he was in school.

"It's time for me to go to class." Gu Cheng held the book to signal that the holiday of the third year of junior high school was late, and he had to go to class for a few more days.

"Oh, you are busy."

The fat man nodded in greeting, and Gu Cheng glanced at him again. Although the clothes were not new, they were all branded. He wore a brand new Longines under his casual clothes. He thought he should be living a good life.

The teacher is relieved.

The next day, Gu Cheng asked for leave. He had to take graduation photos on the third day of junior high school. Gu Cheng was at home kneading the dough, mixing the stuffing and preparing to make dumplings, pork and green onions.The vinegar is Shanxi mature vinegar bought from a large supermarket far away. He has always been particular about what he eats, and he always needs to find something serious to do in his long life.

It's a pity that Chen Mengmeng is still in the small group in the office, and there is a lack of graduation photos. Gu Cheng wrapped the dumplings and took a look, then smiled and threw them aside. This is just the beginning.

After a long time, they will know that Mr. Gu has a quirk. He never likes to take pictures, and he has never taken pictures in the graduation group photo.

In the living room, Xia Xiaoman was watching TV while waiting to eat dumplings. Lilith jumped in from the window, and Gu Cheng caught her and poured a sip of wine into her mouth.

Xia Xiaoman turned her head in surprise, she didn't expect Gu Cheng to have such a wicked side.

"Waiting to eat dumplings will burn you to death."

Gu Cheng threw Lilith on the sofa, clapped his hands and went back to the kitchen.

Changsheng occasionally feels lonely, but only occasionally.
