After receiving the email, he immediately called Gao Yi and Wang Zhengguo to the school. When he arrived at the classroom, it was already crowded with students who had received their report cards. A cup was thrown out, and a tall man walked out while cursing,""F * ck England. I'm not going to study anymore. I'm going back to China.”
The teacher behind him muttered,"This student, stop there. I'll call the police. You have to compensate me for my teacup."”
Luo Li didn't have the time to care about these trivial matters. When she entered the classroom, she saw three teachers handing out the report card. Luo Li admitted that she was a little nervous. Whether she could survive in England depended on this report card. She went to the first teacher to report her name, but the teacher couldn't find Luo Li's report card after searching for a long time. Luo Li went to the second teacher and couldn't find it. Gao Yi, on the other hand, flipped to his own report card. He took a few glances and cheered. Luo Li's heart was already in her throat. It was as if millions of Teemo's had planted mushrooms in her heart. Every word the teacher said was like stepping on poisonous mushrooms.
After being rejected by the third teacher, Luo Li lost her patience and said to the teacher,"Why do you all say that you don't have my report card? I took the exam. Even if I didn't pass, at least tell me how many points I got!。”
At this moment, a teacher who knew Luo Li said,"Mr. Luo, please relax. You might need to go to the principal's office to get your results.”
Luo Li felt all the blood in her body rush to her brain. She was confused. Could it be that her poor results had alerted the principal? In a daze, she drifted upstairs to the principal's office. The female principal was typing on the computer when Luo Li knocked on the door."Ma 'am, may I come in?"
"Yes, of course. How can I help you?”the female principal said.
"Ma 'am, I didn't get my report card. The teacher asked me to come to the principal's office.”Luo Li replied. She was already prepared to be politely rejected by the principal and return to China.
"Alright, what's your name?”the principal asked.
"My name is Luo Li, and I'm studying business.”Luo Li answered quickly, as if she was on the guillotine.
The principal took out a few report cards from the drawer, flipped through them a few times and pulled out one. He browsed through it and frowned. Then, she took out a piece of paper from the drawer. Luo Li looked like an exam paper.
"I have a question for you," the principal said, holding the paper."First, please list the company's shareholders and their expectations."”
Luo Li thought to herself,'Isn't this the exam question? What the hell is going on?'However, he did not dare to ask further. After all, he had memorized it hundreds of times. He opened his mouth and said," Stakeholders include owners, employees, customers, credits, suppliers, the community, and the government. Their expectations are…"
Luo Li pushed the principal with her back against Si Houlang. The principal died on the beach, but he was not at peace even after he died. She smiled admiringly and nodded repeatedly.
After reciting half of it, the principal made a gesture to stop. Luo Li didn't look at the principal. She shook her head as she recited, looking very much like an ancient scholar.
The principal knocked on the table and said,"Alright, you can stop now."”
Only then did Luo Li stop. "Do you know why your report card is in the principal's office?”
Luo Li shook her head with a blank expression.
"Because we didn't believe that you got this score on your own, so I had to test you. Now, congratulations on passing the test. Your Tencent Cloud Organization got full marks, which is hard for us to believe. We also want to congratulate you on obtaining the first-class scholarship and wish you a good job in university.”
The principal handed over the report card, but Luo Li did not reach out to take it because her arms were already out of her brain's control in excitement. Her left hand and right hand were passionately intertwined. Luo Li felt her facial muscles twitch, but she did not react for a long time.
"Are you alright?" the principal asked with a smile. We are also very surprised. This is unbelievable. As a Chinese who speaks English as a second language, you actually scored so high. You are unbelievable.”
Luo Li trembled as she reached out to take the exam paper. Looking at the numbers on the report card, it seemed like they were dancing together. Luo Li suppressed the excitement in her heart and said,"Thank you. Goodbye." As soon as he left the house, he jumped wildly, screamed, and laughed.
The principal in the office also laughed when he heard this.
The first-class scholarship meant that he could save 5000 yuan in tuition fees, it meant that he could earn five performances with his life, it meant that he had to go to the discount village seven or eight times to pack and wrap his head with tape until he was dizzy, it meant that his father had to accompany all the bad kings to drink until he was drunk on the streets, and it meant that his mother had to wake up early in the morning to drive to other cities to meet a few guests. All he needed to do was memorize a few books.
Luo Li did not hail a taxi and ran all the way. She shouted foolishly when she saw people,"You know what? I got full marks and got a first-class scholarship.”
And all of this was because Luo Li had been publicly humiliated by her teachers, ridiculed by her classmates, and abandoned by her girlfriend for failing her exams.
All of this was something that he could really do if he put in some effort.
By the time she reached the dormitory, her clothes were already drenched in sweat and tears. She took off her wet clothes and sang while taking a shower,"Running with the wind, freedom is the direction, chasing the power of tears and lightning…”
The next few days were like ice skating, with no resistance at all. There were still 15 days left before school started. Fortunately, Gao Yi and Lisa were both accepted. Only Wang Zhengguo had to take the make-up exam, but unfortunately, he still failed. On this day, Wang Zhengguo treated everyone to a meal and said it was a farewell banquet. Luo Li didn't know who he was giving it to, but in the end, she realized it was for herself.
"I'm going to the south, so we won't have many chances to meet in the future."”
"Which school?" asked Luo Li.。”
"I've received the letter from the University of Cambridge," Wang Zhengguo replied.”
Luo Li didn't understand how he was accepted by Cambridge, but after a conversation, she learned that Wang Zhengguo's father had gotten a recommendation letter from a provincial governor. Naturally, the road was paved. Some universities overseas attached great importance to the children of China and the families of dignitaries in some countries. They might think that China was still stuck in the eldest son inheritance system, as if the parents were virtuous and the children were well-educated. However, they did not know that in today's society, the rich could not last more than three generations. Even if they could get into Cambridge, they could still be expelled. The world had changed, but the adaptation period was quite long.
Luo Li suggested that they eat hotpot together in the kitchen. It was the first and twelfth month, and eating hotpot could keep one warm, just like Lao She said in Camel Xiangzi: "Go sweep the snow first. I'll treat you to hotpot at noon.”The second reason was more nostalgic. Gao Yi clapped his hands and cheered, so the few of them went to Tianchao City to buy vegetables. There were all kinds of frozen hotpot side dishes and seasonings in the supermarket. The few of them carried all kinds of meat, egg products, vegetables, soy products, mushrooms, vermicelli, and so on back to the dormitory. They even specially bought Wang Laoji and a box of beer. Then, they borrowed pots from their classmates and got busy in a hurry. Luo Li helped everyone prepare the dipping sauce, while Gao Yi was adding the base. The mandarin duck pot was half spicy and half light, while Wang Zhengguo was busy opening the beer.
Soon, Lisa arrived as well. She was very excited to see everyone busy preparing and bubbling pots. Lisa said that she had only eaten hotpot when she was young, and it was in China. Luo Li specially prepared a knife and fork for Lisa.
After they started eating, Gao Yi put meat into the pot. As he put it in, he instructed everyone and said,"Hotpot is also very knowledgeable. You see, we put pork in it, but we can't put beef in it later.”
Wang Zhengguo didn't understand and asked why. Gao Yi explained,"Pork and beef can't be eaten together, and beef can't be eaten with river snails, leeks, and white wine. My family's restaurant owner can trust me.”
After putting in the pork, Gao Yi poured two spoonfuls of beer into the pot. Everyone was puzzled and asked Gao Yi for advice, so Gao Yi explained again,"The beer can balance the nutrients and prevent excessive heat. The soup will be more mellow.
Everyone expressed that their knowledge had increased.
After the pork and mutton were placed, Gao Yi opened a cup of Wang Lao Ji for everyone and said,"Drinking tea when eating hotpot can help digestion and get rid of the greasy feeling. When buying beer, I suggest not to buy frozen beer because the intersection of hot and cold will be bad for the gastric mucus.”
"You know so much, so you're planning to take over your family's business when you return to China, right?" Luo Li joked.”
"Maybe. Who knows what the future will be like?" Gao Yi smiled.”
At this moment, Lisa stretched out her spoon to scoop up the meat. Gao Yi knocked Lisa's spoon with his chopsticks and said,"It's not cooked yet. The meat needs to be cooked a little longer. There are parasites in it.”
"Then why didn't you put the vegetables in first?" Lisa was a little unhappy.。”
Gao Yi said," That makes sense. When eating hotpot, you should put meat dishes first because meat dishes need to be cooked for a while. If you put vegetables in, the parasites in the meat dishes might be absorbed."”
Lisa put down her spoon and took a sip of Wang Laoji. Her eyes widened and she said with a smile,"Wow, this drink tastes great. It's even better than Coca-Cola.”
Luo Li said," This is herbal tea from China. It can reduce heat. Drinking too much Coca-Cola is not good for the body."”
At this time, Wang Zhengguo raised his beer and said," Here, let me toast you all. In the future, you will have a good time in Manchester. If you have time, come to Cambridge and find me."”
" Okay, okay, okay. Come, come, cheers." Everyone raised their glasses.
At this moment, the door was kicked open with a bang. Everyone was so scared that their hands trembled. They looked back and saw that it was Penney. Wang Zhengguo covered his face with his hands and looked like he was going to bang his head against the table.
"You bastard, you're leaving me for Cambridge! You f * cked me and you're irresponsible! You bastard!"
"Hello, Peni," Luo Li said, trying to smooth things over."Come and eat hotpot together."”As he spoke, he prepared to get a chair for her.
However, Peni was not in the mood to eat hotpot and continued to shout,""Come here! You're not going to Cambridge! I will die for you to see."
At this time, Wang Zhengguo sighed, stood up, and walked over to pull Peni out. However, Peni slapped Wang Zhengguo's hand away and pointed at Wang Zhengguo, saying,"Don't even think about going to Cambridge, I'm warning you.”Wang Zhengguo picked up Penney and walked out of the room."You guys eat first. I'll deal with this woman.”
After the door closed, he could still hear Peni's cursing.
The rest of the dinner without the host was like the last supper without Jesus.
After eating for a while, just as everyone was feeling awkward and depressed, the door opened. Wang Zhengguo walked in with his head held high while rubbing his belly. He sat down and ate the meat without saying anything.
"How is it?" asked Gao Yi. Has it been resolved?"
Wang Zhengguo chewed on the meat and wrote,"She left. I gave her 5000 pounds as a breakup fee.”
Luo Li was a little surprised and blurted out,"F * ck, what a scammer."
Wang Zhengguo took a sip of beer and coughed,"That's right. This kind of girl is greedy for money! I can only play around. How can I talk about marriage? If you sleep with me today, who knows who you'll sleep with tomorrow? One word, dirty.”
Luo Li smiled and said," It's good that you think that way. Don't get yourself involved and hurt yourself. Go to Cambridge and find a better girl. Don't play with this kind of woman."”
"Hehe, maybe. Come, come, come.”Wang Zhengguo raised his glass.
" Cheers!" Everyone drank their wine and did not feel the pain of parting at all. Nowadays, people were used to separating and reuniting. No matter how far the journey was, they would be close by when they opened the video. How could they have the mood to write " Farewell " for parting?"Outside the pavilion, by the ancient road, the video is burning. Wechat voice message, QQ Mountain Beyond the Mountain.”
That night, Wang Zhengguo was packing his luggage and preparing to take the train to Cambridge the next morning. Wang Zhengguo carried a box to Luo Li's room and said,"I only have two suitcases. I can't take these things with me.”
Luo Li saw a Gucci bag at the top of the box and quickly said,"You can keep such an expensive thing for yourself. I'll give you a suitcase.”As he spoke, he opened the cabinet and took out the box.
"I don't lack a box, I only have a pair of hands. Take it."”After saying that, he went to the room to move another box for Gao Yi.
Luo Li looked through the box and found at least three Gucci bags, two Burberry jackets, and a few pairs of Valentino shoes. Luo Li was troubled. What should she return after being given such expensive things? She searched the room and found that the most expensive thing was her computer, but there were a lot of papers inside. How could she type the papers after giving them to Wang Zhengguo? Moreover, Wang Zhengguo's alien laptop could be exchanged for several of her Macs. Since he couldn't pay the price, he decided to return the favor. He contacted a seller nearby and bought two Chinese cigarettes for Wang Zhengguo. Wang Zhengguo said happily as if he had found a treasure,"Brother, your two packs of cigarettes are worth thousands of gold!。”
It would be Christmas in a few days. Many British families had already placed all kinds of cartoon character lamps in their courtyards. The houses were surrounded by colorful lights. The laughter of children playing could be heard everywhere on the streets. The chanting of the church echoed in every corner of the city.
The moment Luo Li and Gao Yi Wang Zhengguo stepped out of the dormitory, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Luo Li thought of a song and adapted it to sing: "Manchester City, which hasn't had snow for more than ten years, suddenly snowed the moment you said goodbye.”
"F * ck, I'm not going to Cambridge. Don't make it so sad!”Wang Zhengguo cursed.
After that, they hailed a taxi to the train station. Wang Zhengguo had already bought a ticket online. They went to the window to get the ticket and waited for the train together. Luo Li bought three cups of coffee and the three of them drank it. Luo Li said,"Brother Zhengguo, you can't play like a pre-university student when you get to Cambridge. The universities in the UK are all lenient in entering and strict in exiting. Moreover, Cambridge is a famous university that many people dream of.”
Wang Zhengguo just smiled and didn't say anything. He took a sip of coffee and said,"I'm just here to get a diploma. The road has been paved. You don't have to worry about me.”
Luo Li understood what Wang Zhengguo meant, so she didn't say anything more. Soon, the car arrived. Luo Li and Gao Yi helped Wang Zhengguo carry his luggage into the car. They hugged and said goodbye before getting off.
It was already snowing heavily when they left the train station. Standing in the snow without an umbrella, Luo Li's hair turned white in a short while. She thought of a song," Goodbye " by ZY Zhang. Different seasons shared the same feelings of separation, and the feelings in their hearts were interlinked. They were even sublimated. She imagined the scene of the father and son parting. They wore green military uniforms and rushed out of the window in rows, waving their arms or hats. The relatives under the train ran along with the train with tears of separation. Because their separation meant that they would not be able to see each other's faces for months or even years. They could only imagine each other's lives through every stroke of the letter sent from afar. This was a kind of affection that our generation would never be able to understand.
Later on, someone sang Wu QL's " I wish you a safe journey." The line in the song," When the platform is crowded, the people squeezing to send you off ", was a true reflection of many parting scenes. However, in this generation, many people took it as a shame and thought that it was outdated.
Nowadays, many people are ashamed of listening to old songs, but they don't know that classics can withstand the test of the times. The old may be singers, lyricists, and songwriters, but the emotions conveyed by music are all common. The reason why we are ashamed is often because we don't have enough experience to understand the artistic conception of the song.
Just like what Zhu Ziqing said in his back, he staggered to the side of the railway and slowly crossed the railing... Crossing the railway…Climbing up to the platform over there, if this was in the modern era, he might be arrested by the railway management department and sent to the police station. Where else was there a railway that allowed him to climb over the railway? He could only appear in some unpresentable movie. The days of the past were gone, and the opportunities to experience those cultures were getting fewer and fewer. The thought of the extinction of culture was really scary.
