The days after the exam were like the end of the war. No matter how he did, he had to relax first. However, Luo Li was annoyed when she thought that she still needed 500,000 from Wang Zhengguo, so she planned to use these 15 days to earn money.
She called Fantasy management company to request as many performances as possible. The manager said that there was a pool party the day after tomorrow that needed to be performed. The guests wanted to listen to exotic songs. The venue was Brighton, a seaside city at the southernmost tip of the UK. Luo Li immediately accepted the task and contacted the band members to take the train tomorrow morning and walk around Brighton.
Brighton's landmark building was the King's Pavilion, also known as the Royal Palace. At that time, Prince Gent had specially built it for his rendezvous with his mistress, fitzherbert. The luxurious palace was built in the style of ancient Indian architecture. Later, George IV had enough of London's secular world and often took refuge here. Now, it had been bought by the local government to become a local tourist attraction.
Some well-known figures in the country had mansions in Brighton, such as Li LJ, Fan B B, Wang F, and so on.
That night, Luo Li booked a train ticket and a hotel online. The description said that it was a hotel near the sea. Ever since Luo Li heard the lyrics of Xu Wei's " The Old You "," Every time I was sad, I would look at the sea alone." She had a wish to sit by the sea and sing her favorite song with a guitar. After singing, she would open her arms and shout at the sea,"" Facing the sea, the flowers are blooming." This was also the reason why Luo Li booked this hotel. Naturally, the company would reimburse the transportation and accommodation fees. If Luo Li went alone, she would probably have to stay in a shared dormitory for many people.
The next morning, the band members carried their instruments onto the train. They took off their clothes and brought water. They were all complaining about why Fantasy didn't send a special car to pick them up. However, it was a small company after all, so they couldn't have too much hope.
After a bumpy journey, they arrived in Brighton after a transfer in London. They took three taxis to the hotel. It was almost a water building in Venice and was only 100 meters away from the sea. After checking in, they were very satisfied with the single bed that was enough for three people to sleep in. There was also a sofa in the room, spacious space, and an ultra-thin color TV. When he pulled open the curtains, he could see the endless sea. It was as if he could already smell the saltiness of the sea water. He could see the waves rolling up sad or happy memories to people who were more innocent than confusion.
After the band settled their instruments and luggage, they went downstairs and walked around. When they got out of the hotel, they saw the Ferris wheel, the aquarium, and the pier that extended out. They searched the map on their mobile phone and found that the royal palace was also around here, so they roughly formulated a tourist route and went to the pier to look for food.
The five of them walked to the dock that extended out. There were all kinds of entertainment facilities, such as a game room, a restaurant, a bar, and a seafood restaurant. When they passed by the game room, Luo Li thought of a friend who owned a game room in her hometown.
At that time, Luo Li was still in her third year of high school. Every weekend, the school forced the students to study by themselves. They had to write down a note for the weekend self-study and sign it. Luo Li knew that there was already a written rule that required the school to implement a two-day break, so she became the only hero in the class who did not give in to evil. The old homeroom teacher talked to Luo Li, saying that the school was doing this for her own good and for her to get into a good university. Luo Li did not listen to anything. From the beginning to the end, she thought that the school was just a pretense for the selection of four-star high schools. The teachers were already weak, and if they did not self-study, they would be demoted to two-star high schools. If that happened, how would the principal survive? The male form teacher wearing sunglasses tried to persuade Luo Li but failed. He secretly called Luo Li's parents. Her mother was busy with business, and her father was busy with politics. How could he have the time to argue with the teacher? In the end, he called her grandfather over. Her grandfather bent over and stood in front of the teacher with a walking stick. The homeroom teacher did not even ask for a seat and scolded her,""Your grandson is very insensible."
"Yes, no…"Insensible," Grandpa said shakily.
"All the students in the school volunteered to come to self-study this weekend, but he didn't come!。”
" Ah, not good, not good." Grandpa coughed and said.
"The school is for the good of the students. Self-study is related to which university you go to and your future.”
" Aiyo, future, Ah Qie." Grandpa sneezed and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe it.
"Tell me, how do you usually educate your parents?”
"Aiyo, busy, busy." Grandpa said.
" Tell me, what do you want to do about your grandson?" The homeroom teacher stared at his grandfather.
Grandpa and the teacher stared at each other for a while before taking out a handkerchief to wipe their eyes. It was still the same handkerchief that they had used to wipe their snot.
Finally, the grandfather turned to glare at his grandson.
Luo Li said,"I won't come for self-study on the weekends. It's against the education law. Besides, they're in self-study class."”
"Alright, let's go home then.”Grandpa slowly turned around to leave.
"Hey, you stay. Who let you go? Is this how you educate your grandson? With a grandfather like you, your grandson definitely won't be able to get into university.”
Grandpa walked out with his walking stick as if he didn't hear her.
Luo Li looked at the form teacher expressionlessly and asked,""Can I go home now?"
"I dare you to leave today."
Luo Li thought to herself,'If you dare to say this today, try it.' If you dare to leave today, try it. Or you can try to leave today. In the end, she was not good at Chinese, so she omitted the first half of the sentence and used 'try' before turning around to leave.
"You stay here!" The homeroom teacher rushed up and grabbed Luo Li's arm." You better stay here. Don't you have any school rules? I'll punish you today."”
Luo Li had always avoided all quarrels. Her grandfather often said that if there was no investigation, there was no right to speak. The only investigation she had was how to chase after the class belle of the next class.
"Teacher, please let go. I won't be participating in the self-study." Luo Li said calmly.”
"Then wait for your punishment. I'll report it to the director today.”
"Teacher, I really don't want to cooperate with you. Let me go.”
Pa, the homeroom teacher slapped Luo Li in a circle. As she was spinning, Luo Li saw her grandfather outside, dialing a number on the homemade single-color phone that her father had eliminated ten years ago.
"Don't go to school in the future. I'll take you to the principal's office to withdraw from school.”After saying that, he dragged Luo Li out. Luo Li was dragged all the way down the corridor and down the stairs. She saw her grandfather following her with a walking stick.
Not long after, she saw a group of people coming from afar. Luo Li recognized the person at the front as Principal Zhang, the head of the school.
When the principal walked in, the form teacher went up to him with a smile. Feng Yuan said,"Principal Zhang, how are you? How are you?" As he spoke, he took out a pack of Zhonghua.
The principal walked closer but ignored the form teacher. He felt awkward and walked to his grandfather who was following behind him. He bent down and held his grandfather's hand."I didn't expect Old General to come to your school to inspect. I'm sorry for not welcoming you.”
Grandpa leaned on his walking stick and tried to stand up as straight as possible. He still said shakily,"My grandson wants to go home this weekend. I wonder if your school can let him go?。”
"Aiya, Old General, I'm sorry to laugh at you. Our school has always given students the right to freedom. They can come and go freely.”
"Thank you, grandson. Let's go home.”
Although his grandfather was hunched over, he seemed to be standing straighter than everyone else present.
Luo Li helped her grandfather down the stairs. Under the gaze of the school leaders, she went to the first floor and looked back. The form teacher was standing in front of the toilet, smoking.
On the way home, Luo Li asked her grandpa,"Grandpa, how did the school leaders know you were here?"”
Grandpa finally revealed a weathered smile and said,""Director Zhao of the Education Bureau is the son of my subordinate. When I saw the form teacher hit you, I quickly called Battalion Commander Zhao.”
"It doesn't hurt, Grandpa. I'm used to being beaten.”
"Sigh, grandson, remember what Leader Mao said: You don't have to be afraid of that teacher. I'll support you if you follow the rules. However, Mao ZX also said," An uncultured army is a stupid army. When you go home, grandpa will ask grandma to cook chicken for you. Don't forget to read a book when you're done playing.”
"Okay, Grandpa, don't worry. I can recite Deng XP's sayings backward.
"Alright, my good grandson. Next, Grandpa will recommend you to take a look at the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. This is not the era where we used guns. We have to use the law as guns. It has to overwhelm all enemies and never be subdued by the enemy!”
"Okay, I'll read it when I get home. Grandpa, when the teacher hit me just now, I thought of what you always said. If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak.”
"Aiyo, grandson, you don't understand. Didn't Grandpa tell you not to be afraid of that teacher? Grandpa can tell that if he joins the army, he will also be a defeated soldier. We have to make up our minds, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and fight for victory! Do you understand?"
The grandfather and grandson walked to an animation entertainment city. Luo Li held her grandfather's hand and said,""Grandpa, I want to go in and play games for an hour. I'll go home and read.”
Grandpa nodded."Alright, you go and play. I'll sit under the shade of the tree to cool down."”
From then on, every weekend, when the entire school was in class, Luo Li would walk out of the school with her head held high and her chest puffed out. She would even greet the security guards and go to the entertainment city to play some games before going home.
Half a year later, Luo Li became familiar with the boss and knew some tricks. Those so-called coin pushers and fruit pushers were pre-set. They could set the coin rate. The winning rate was set by the boss in the morning. The only way was to stand there with a pen and observe which machine did not spit coins for dozens of times. Just throw a few coins and you would basically win.
Therefore, the game console that Luo Li saw in Manchester last time was actually the same as the one in China. The reason why the withdrawal rate was set to be quite low was because of the trust.
This time, when Luo Li saw these game consoles, it was as if she could see the ugly face of the boss when he set the coin rate.
