Chapter 48: The Big Bad
June is coming to an end, and then July is coming.
Gu Cheng got up as usual and washed up. A ghost was squatting beside him, looking at him with wide eyes.
In the hot summer, if there is a ghost in the bathroom, it is quite cool and shady.
Spit out the water from your mouth, wipe your face and hands, pack your bag and prepare to go out, and don’t eat breakfast.
I am a modern young man, so it is reasonable not to eat breakfast.
To disguise one's identity, you have to start with the details. This is already very familiar with it, definitely not because of laziness.
The sun is getting hotter and it has already exerted its power early in the morning, making people very upset.
The bus passed through the street, filled with stuff, like a giant beast walking through this steel jungle.
When Gu Cheng arrived at the school, Lao Qi was already standing at the school gate to catch the late students.
This old man is in good spirits, and his students' vitality is very energetic, which makes people unconsciously feel that he has become younger.
"My morning, Teacher Qi!"
"Um……"
Just as Lao Qi was about to say hello, he saw a little boy running to school. He didn't talk to Gu Cheng and took a step forward to stop the guy.
"Where is your school uniform?"
"My mother forgot to dry it after washing it." The other party replied.
Lao Qi's face became serious and serious. Gu Cheng smiled and pushed the electric car into the school. Later, Lao Qi and the students were talking to him.
It’s hard to be a class teacher. Many times, Lao Qi doesn’t want to be strict. Not only do he have to worry about the class, but he also has to perfunctory the principal and so on.
Today, if you raise the flag, you will be noticed by the principal if you don’t wear a school uniform. When the principal notices, he will ask which class he belongs. If you know which class it is, he will find Lao Qi...
Fucked.
When he entered the office, Chen Mengmeng had arrived. The rare one came early. He was holding a small fan and blew it in his hand. When he saw Gu Cheng, he turned around and turned, "Teacher Gu's parent meeting, do you want to attend?"
Gu Cheng pulled open his chair and said, "Isn't it Lao Qi's business?"
"I heard that they want you to participate too, and then in the case of semester only teaching in the third year of junior high school, it seems that they want you to be the head teacher."
"It's just a fool, I'm fine."
"Yes, only fools are." Li Mingcheng was happy.
"You are smart."
Chen Mengmeng didn't dare to be happy. Old Qi was quite serious. She was not as familiar with Gu Cheng and Li Mingcheng. She was quite embarrassed to hear it.
"You are actually quite suitable. You have worked hard for two years and can still lose weight when you become a class teacher. It's great."
“But it will lose hair.”
"You have a lot of hair." After Gu Cheng said that, he turned his head to look at Li Mingcheng's bald head, a little disgusted. Why did he mention such a sad topic of hair?
The remaining few hairs were well taken care of by Li Mingcheng, and I didn’t know what to do if I kept them so much. I would just shave them off and save trouble... Gu Cheng couldn’t understand, and the old man seemed to have an inexplicable stubbornness towards his hair.
Anyway, if it were him, it would be better to shave your head just because he was half bald - it's a pity that he won't grow old.
Life is incomplete.
There was only one class in the morning. When I was about to do exercises during the break, there was a song in the studio. Gu Cheng helped Lao Qi supervise the class. When he looked up, he saw Xia Xiaoman kicking his legs and swaying his arms to warm up with the rhythm of the students, preparing to do radio gymnastics.
“One two three four five six seven eight two two three four five six seven eight…”
The ghost started to jump on the roof.
Gu Cheng silently withdrew his gaze. He was very bored when he was a ghost. No one saw it, no one talked, and was alone all day. But even so, many people still don’t want to be reincarnated.
It became a little cooler in the afternoon, and large clouds blocked the sun from time to time and were blown away by the wind.
The school was filled with an anxious atmosphere before the holiday, and students who were not afraid of heat on the playground were still playing table tennis during the break.
After this summer vacation, it was time for the third year of junior high school to leave. Some went to high school and some went to technical secondary school. Gu Cheng stood in the corridor and looked at the third year of junior high school students on campus.
He noticed that a fat middle-aged man was looking at him and couldn't help but look over.
"Hello." The fat man pushed his glasses and greeted him.
"Hello."
Gu Cheng looked at him and was waiting for a parent-teacher meeting.
"Are you... a teacher?"
"Yes, I am the Chinese teacher in their class, my surname is Gu." Gu Cheng nodded. These parents and Lao Qi are very familiar with each other, but other substitute teachers don't know that much.
"I've been watching for a long time, you're very much like me, a teacher!" The fat man was surprised.
“…”
Gu Cheng looked at him carefully, without any impression.
"Is that right? I'm also in Baicheng? I'll visit you if I have time, maybe I'll meet 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 hand and pointed to the distance, and smiled, "My teacher... has been so many years, and he should have retired."
"That's a pity."
"Teacher Gu, are your family also teachers?"
"no."
"Oh, I said it was such a coincidence." The fat man shook his head regretfully.
"Do you still remember these years?" Gu Cheng smiled.
"How could I forget! At that time, my family was not in good condition, so I brought some steamed buns and pickles to school for lunch..."
The fat man didn't feel embarrassed to speak. No matter how hard he was, it was over. He just couldn't forget the figure who gave him half of the meal at noon.
Gu Cheng turned his head and looked at his chubby face, which gradually became associated with a thin body in his impression.
It seems that this is true. The school was too far away at that time. Many people didn’t have to go home when they brought their meals to the school at noon. Some people only brought a piece of steamed bun and water.
A gust of wind blew, and the heat had gone, and the class bell rang, and the fat man was stunned for a moment.
He had just been in a daze and thought he had returned to his former school days.
"It's time for me to go to class." Gu Cheng took the book and signaled that it was late for the third year of junior high school, so he would have to attend a few more days of classes.
"Oh, you're busy."
The fat man nodded and greeted him. Gu Cheng looked at him again. Although his clothes were not new, they were all branded. He wore a brand new piece of Longines under his casual wear. I think life should be good.
Then the teacher was relieved.
The next day, Gu Cheng took a leave and was going to take graduation photos on the third day of junior high school. Gu Cheng kneaded the dough at home, mixed the filling and was preparing to make dumplings, pork and green onions, and vinegar was bought from a large supermarket in the distance. He always paid special attention to eating it. He always had to find something serious to do in his long life.
It’s a pity that Chen Mengmeng is still there in the small group of offices. She lacks people after graduation. Gu Cheng took a look at the dumplings, smiled and threw them aside. This was just the beginning.
After waiting for a long time, they will know that Teacher Gu has a quirk. He never likes to take photos and has never taken memorials on graduation photos.
Xia Xiaoman was watching TV in the living room while waiting to eat dumplings. Lilith jumped in from the window, was caught by Gu Cheng and poured a sip of wine into her mouth.
Xia Xiaoman turned around in surprise, but he didn't expect Gu Cheng to have such a bad side.
"Waiting to eat dumplings will burn you to death."
Gu Cheng threw Lilith on the sofa and patted her hands and returned to the kitchen.
