Baoqing No. 5 Middle School is a relatively large junior high school.
Look at the exam room, that is, find the classroom corresponding to the exam room on your admission ticket, and get familiar with the environment, so that you can be relatively calm when you come to take the exam tomorrow morning.
Many people don't look at it. Li Shi likes to think carefully when doing things, so he takes a look in advance. Anyway, he has money and leisure.
On the way to find the classroom, I met many candidates. They were generally younger. However, what surprised Li Shi was that there seemed to be quite a few "older" candidates like him who were over twenty-five years old.
“Are there more and more people who want to be teachers?”
After coming out of school, I stood at the school gate and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. The walls were covered with the white tiles and earth-red tiles I remembered, and I instantly felt a sense of history.
Li Shi didn't come to Baoqing City many times, but every time he came, he felt like he was back in the first decade of the century. Looking at the surrounding buildings and streets, he felt like he was living in a period film.
He saw a Hui rice noodle shop next to the school gate, and thought it would taste good if it opened at the school gate, so he walked in and ordered a bowl of raw stir-fried beef noodles, with fungus and tofu added, and an omelette.
The soup stock made from beef bones is paired with the strong aroma of red oil and mountain pepper oil. Together with the chewy rice noodles, it is also paired with the crispness of fungus and the special taste of fried tofu. Finally, it is topped with the spicy aroma of beef. It is a perfect combination. The bowl is extremely rich and full of flavor.
When Li Shi ate it for the first time, he wasn't used to it, but now he often misses it, especially after staying out of town for a long time.
While he was eating, he looked at the candidates coming in and out of the school gate, as well as the concrete electric pole on the street, and wondered what the small advertisement posted on it would be.
"This city is particularly suitable to be written about, or even made into a TV series."
Li Shi made a decision. When he plans to attack the master's mission in the future, he must include Baoqing City and Zhaoyang County.
"In this place, if you were filming a story from more than ten years ago, you wouldn't need to set it up specially, tsk tsk."
Li Shi was not polite at all when he complained about his hometown.
Of course, this city has not developed without development over the years. In fact, some places have changed a lot. For example, more than ten years ago, the best hotel in Baoqing was the Baicheng Hotel on Chengbei Road. It was a four-star hotel. Now it has There are several five-star hotels, and the Purple Star Hotel that Li Shi booked is one of them.
After Li Shi moved in, he found that the decoration and sanitation were indeed good.
The next day, he successfully took three exams. He rated himself very well and was confident of passing the high school art teaching qualifications written exam with high scores.
Next, wait for the results to come out in one month and attend the interview after two months.
He plans to sign up for an interview training class at a teaching and training institution after his results come out. If he has any questions, he can ask Teacher Bai.
"But that will have to wait for more than a month. Now put your mind back and seize the time to complete the "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" and the "Traveling through the Pre-Qin Series" videos, so as to break through the Chinese history to the level of (mastery-)!"
After finishing the exam in the afternoon, Li Shi called Sun Shouwen after coming out of school.
We had agreed before that we would contact him after the exam, and then the two brothers would have a good time in the city. Sun Shouwen would send him back to his hometown to see his mother tomorrow.
The exam happened to be on the weekend and he had time.
"The road in front of the school is blocked. I parked a little further because I was afraid that I would not get out if I copied the sign. You go out to the left, walk a few dozen meters, and then turn right. There is a small alley. I parked here. side."
Li Shi followed Sun Shouwen's instructions and found the Passat on the roadside five or six minutes later.
As soon as he got in the car, Sun Shouwen immediately said: "Oh, I have to go to Daxiang No. 1 Middle School quickly. My brother-in-law is also taking the exam there today."
"He Hongyan's younger brother?"
"Yes, her brother. I only found out this afternoon that he also took the teaching qualification exam. He is a fresh graduate of Baoqing College. He is trying everything from teaching qualifications to public exams."
"So, take him with you tonight?" Li Shi asked with a smile, remembering the evening's activities.
Sun Shouwen shook his head and said: "You don't know that today's young people are better at playing than we are. Moreover, that kid grew up in Baoqing City and is not familiar with the city's nightlife. He Hongyan's home is over there in the Furniture City. He has a house and a store...last time he said he would take me to the massage parlor he thought was the best for a massage."
"you go?"
"How dare you? Who knows if his sister sent him to test him."
…
The younger brother of Sun Shouwen's girlfriend He Hongyan is named He Zixin. He is tall and thin, well-dressed and fashionable.
"Zixin, how did you do in the exam? This is my classmate and brother, Li Shi. Just call me Brother Shi."
As soon as he got in the car, Sun Shouwen introduced him.
He Zixin was very carefree and called Li Shi "Brother Shi" first, and then said: "I took the exam naked, which is probably quite difficult. I didn't want to come, but they had to let me try. It was a complete waste of time."
While driving, Sun Shouwen said: "Your sister and the others also think that they have already signed up anyway, what if something happens? Forget it, I have passed the exam. I don't want to think too much, let's go eat first."
He Zixin asked: "Brother-in-law, are there any activities in the evening after dinner?"
Sun Shouwen did not hide it from him: "Our original plan was to sit in a bar, drink some wine and relax, but now that you are here, it is better to find a hotel to stay."
He Zixin immediately said loudly: "No, it's better if we don't tell my sister! I'm familiar with Baoqing, I'll take you there!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, rolled his eyes, and said: "How about we go to your Zhaoyang County? In fact, the bars in Baoqing are like that. The lighting decoration and other things are all old-fashioned and very tacky. , and the quality of DJs and girls is not good, few are good-looking, and even if they are not good-looking, most of them don’t know how to put on makeup..."
Li Shi couldn't help but glance at his brother-in-law Sun Shouwen through the rearview mirror. Listening to his words, it seemed that he really knew Baoqing's nightclubs.
He asked: "Are the bars in Zhaoyang better?"
He Zixin said: "I don't know, I haven't been there, so I want to see something. However, Zhaoyang's economy is developing well and there are many rich people. I have heard that the bars there are doing well, especially a newly opened bar recently. , seems to be called CD."
As he said that, he began to persuade Sun Shouwen who was driving: "Brother-in-law, go ahead, let's go have a drink, go to the disco, and not do anything else. Even if my sister finds out, it doesn't matter. Besides, if I don't tell you, you If you don’t tell her, there’s no way she would know.”
Sun Shouwen turned his head and looked at Li Shi.
Li Shi naturally didn't care: "Then go and have fun."
After discussing it, Sun Shouwen changed the navigation and went straight to Zhaoyang County without eating in the city.
It was more than 30 kilometers away from the city back to the county. There were highways, national highways and provincial highways. More than 40 minutes later, the car drove to the square in the center of the county. I found a restaurant nearby and ordered sand turtle and steam pot chicken. Waiting for the meal to fill my stomach.
When paying the bill, Sun Shouwen wanted to rush to buy it, but Li Shi stopped him: "Shouwen, I'm going to trouble you to drive me to and from you in the past two days. I have to pay the bill tonight."
When Li Shi went to check WeChat, Sun Shouwen and He Zixinxin walked to the door of the hotel.
He Zixin looked back and said, "Brother-in-law, I think your classmate should be quite financially capable. Why are you still wearing a fake watch?"
Sun Shouwen was startled: "Fake watch? What do you mean?"
He Zixin shook his head and said: "It's the Patek Philippe on his left wrist. It's fake at first glance. It's the famous Starry Sky. A big internet celebrity I often follow on Douyin has this watch. Now it seems to cost four or five Hundreds of W... Even a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans would not wear a top-notch watch like this on a daily basis, it’s too fake.”
Sun Shouwen was stunned again and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
When Li Shi came out after paying the bill and the three of them got in the car, he asked directly: "Brother, is the watch in your hand a Patek Philippe?"
Although Sun Shouwen doesn't know about this luxury watch brand, he has heard of it.
Li Shiqi checked the time with his left hand: "Yes, it's a gift from Qiuye. I wear it occasionally."
In fact, he doesn't usually wear a watch very often. This time he came to take an exam and his cell phone had to be handed in during the exam, so he wore it to check the time.
"The real thing?"
"She gave it to me. I haven't tested it. It should be genuine."
Sun Shouwen was shocked: "Good guy, you are wearing a villa on your hand."
Li Shi smiled and took off the watch and handed it over: "Actually, it's just like that. The premium for luxury goods is too serious."
Sun Shouwen quickly caught it with both hands, picked it up, looked left and right under the car lights, and quickly returned it to Li Shi: "Today is an eye-opener."
He Zixin, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the two people in front with a speechless expression and thought to himself, these two old guys are worthy of being old classmates and old gay friends, and they act like they are real.
It was already past ten o'clock, and the three people drove directly to the CD Bar located in the west of the county according to the navigation.
After parking the car and walking to the entrance, I found that this bar did have something special - in addition to the signboard at the entrance, the entire wall was a large electronic screen that could project various pictures and videos. The things displayed on it were composed of countless blue diamonds. The bar logo looks spectacular and psychedelic.
After buying a ticket and going in, you can see another huge screen in front of you from a distance, which displays the word "high" in English, and below the word there is a countdown to 11:30 at night.
On the stage in front of the screen, two rows of young girls wearing pure white ultra-short jocks danced to the gentle music. Their small waists and pairs of beautiful legs shone white under the light.
There were not many people dancing on the dance floor below, but there were quite a few. They were all young people dressed fashionably, both men and women.
Li Shi and the other three found a seat and sat down. He Zixin got up and went to the dance floor soon. Li Shi and Sun Shouwen sat still, only drinking, chatting and looking around.
"How does this place compare with the bars in Tanzhou?" Sun Shouwen asked.
The music was not too loud at the moment, and the chatter could be heard clearly from a distance.
"return……"
He was about to answer when he suddenly saw three men and two women walking past one after another. One of the men and one woman looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, although he didn't think of the man, he suddenly remembered who the girl was.
He patted Sun Shouwen's arm next to him, gestured his chin to the left, leaned over and said, "There is a girl three tables over there. Do you think she is the Concubine Zhang Jing in your class?"
When Li Shi was studying painting in the county, he once took the high-speed rail back. Near the high-speed rail station, he encountered Sun Shouwen and his brother protecting a female student under the bridge from being bullied by street gangsters. The girl was Zhang Jingfei, and she also had a My sister’s name is Zhang Jingyi, and she is a top student in physics.
When Sun Shouwen heard this, he quickly turned his head to look, and his face changed slightly when he saw clearly: "It is really her. We have also seen the man next to her. He is her sister's classmate who works in the county, named Wei Cheng."
With that said, he stood up and wanted to go over.
Li Shi also stood up.
Unexpectedly, Sun Shouwen sat down again: "I am a teacher after all. In a small place like ours, if a teacher appears in a nightclub, there will inevitably be criticism. I'd better tell her mother on WeChat."
With that said, he took his mobile phone to find Zhang Jingfei's mother's WeChat account and sent a message.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the other party, so he sent another message to her sister Zhang Jingyi. After a while, there was still no movement.
After thinking about it, I called two more times, but no one answered.
"It doesn't matter so much, she is only sixteen years old."
The expression on Sun Shouwen's face became serious. He stood up again and was about to go over, but Li Shi stopped him: "Let me go. Nowadays, schools and parents have very strict requirements for teachers. If you are complained, It’s not going to be good, you go outside and wait, I’ll help you bring her out, and wait for me to call you.”
Sun Shouwen hesitated for a moment and looked at him: "Brother, thank you."
Li Shi smiled and said: "It's a small matter."
After Sun Shouwen went out, Li Shi looked in the direction of the dance floor. There were more people there, and the lights in the nightclub were dim, so He Zixin could not be found for a while.
Over there, the Ai Cheng had already pulled Concubine Zhang Jing to her feet, and seemed to be planning to dance on the dance floor.
Li Shi stood up and walked over quickly.
"Concubine Zhang Jing!"
The girl looked back and saw Li Shi walking over. After thinking for a while, she said incredulously: "Are you...brother Li Shi?"
Li Shi looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with long hair, makeup, and a black sleeveless vest and jeans. Her navel exposed made her look more mature than her actual age.
"How come you, a minor, are here?!"
…
A few minutes later, Li Shi came out of the bar with Concubine Zhang Jing, followed by Ai Cheng.
He looked at Li Shi and Zhang Jingfei in front of him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. Instead, he walked directly to the parking lot, picked up his car, and left.
Li Shi looked at the Cadillac CT5 going away and frowned.
If Concubine Zhang Jing was really her sister, she would definitely reward that Acropolis with a few micrograms of ricin just now.
He looked back at the girl with her head lowered, and called Sun Shouwen on his mobile phone - for the rest, let her teacher communicate with her parents.
Don't worry about it yourself.
…
That night, Li Shi spent the whole night in the county house.
The next morning, at around seven o'clock, Sun Shouwen called: "Brother, I'm sorry, Zhang Jingfei's mother has rushed back from other places. I have to deal with this matter in the morning, so I can't send you to the countryside."
