Chapter 45: Late Thanks

"In the big cities now, this is popular, and our Xixian County is backward, but it should also be popular. Shao Liang thought that Yang Rui had been suppressed, and he was quietly relieved.

On someone else's turf, it's dangerous to be too ostentatious. Cao Baoming and other comrades in the bench press group were helping to move the cans, and their muscles were bulging, which was still a bit shocking.

"Are you selling these pants?" Yang Rui looked at the jeans of the Hong Kong Apple brand, wanting to laugh but not funny.

In fact, Apple does sell jeans, but it is difficult to trace its origin back to Hong Kong Apple.

The jeans that Shao Liang took out were still thin-waisted jeans with flared legs, pure 80s taste, which was very popular at this time.

"Whatever you want. Shao Liang was worried that Yang Rui would tell the truth, so he was sloppy.

Yang Rui let out an "oh" with a smile.

In the 80s, selling clothes was actually a very good livelihood, and there were a lot of people who made money, especially those who could speak well and had a bit of public taste, and it was easy to get more than 50% of the profits.

However, Yang Rui has won Shao Gong's favor, and he can't let go of himself at a glance. Ideas belong to concepts, promises belong to commitments, and cannot be confused.

Shao Liang was mistaken and said dissatisfied: "A pair of jeans is not good, you have too much appetite, right?" If you take a closer look, you can't buy such jeans for dozens of dollars. ”

"It's not about jeans. Yang Rui smiled, threw it back, and said, "Put it away, I don't wear this." ”

"You don't know how to wear it. Shao Liang lifted his crotch unhappily, and without saying much, he put the jeans back in the Green Army bag.

Yang Rui sighed, he really doesn't know how to wear these jeans, because they are too low-waisted, they are not tied to the waist, they are directly tied to the crotch, and they are tight as if they can squeeze out more meat.

That is, in the 80s, in another 10 years, where to find ribs all over the street, these pants were worn by the fat figure of his previous life, and they were cut to be the material of one leg.

Shao Liang was a student after all, and he couldn't figure out Yang Rui's thoughts, so he couldn't help asking: "What do you want, just say it, how about choosing one for you just as far as I have on me?"

The most expensive thing on his body is jeans, which cost 22 yuan, and then there are pull-back shoes, but they are all hard currency on the street.

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "If I say that I will give you tutoring, I will give you tutoring, this matter is not negotiable, otherwise, I can't tell Shao Gong." ”

"I'll just say I'll tutor with you, isn't that the end?"

"No, I can't. Yang Rui shook his head, slowed down, and said: "Let me say this, no matter what your previous grades were, tutoring in my place, I dare not say more, it is very easy to take a college exam, if you work hard, the junior college is not difficult, the undergraduate depends on your foundation, but there is also a great opportunity." Anyway, I'll give it a try, don't rush to conclusions. ”

The teaching level of the factory-run middle school of the meat factory is much worse than that of Xibao Middle School, not to mention compared with the top students in the return class, and most of the students in the sophomore graduating class are also better than them.

But as Yang Rui said, as long as you go to high school normally, that is, students who can achieve the average score of the high school entrance examination, and with some hard work, they can actually be admitted to colleges and secondary schools.

Of course, the academic qualifications of college and secondary school are the same as those of high school, which is equivalent to wasting three years and changing the allocated place, which cannot be said to be a good choice.

But having said that, the allocation of places represented by colleges and secondary schools is also valuable, with the ability of Shao Gong, to arrange a high school graduate to return to the factory, and arrange a secondary school student to return to the factory, not only the difficulty is different, but the type of work arranged is also different.

At least until the mid-90s, technical secondary school was still a reasonable diploma, much stronger than high school, especially at the grassroots level.

The children of the factory-run middle school have no record of being admitted to the junior college, and many students work hard to repeat their studies, that is, for a place in the junior college.

Yang Rui felt that if he could make such a guarantee, he could be regarded as worthy of Shao Gong's help.

However, Shao Liang didn't appreciate it, and said a little anxiously: "You lied to my father, I won't pursue it with you, don't delay my time." ”

He pointed to the red apple icon on his thigh and said, "Do you know how much money I can make a day?" ”

Shao Liang turned his back and waved twice in the air with a very handsome movement.

Yang Rui looked down at his green army pants, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and said again: "You stay for a while, don't go, Baoming ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Baoming caught Shao Liang, who was slow to react.

Shao Liang struggled twice, but couldn't get free, glared at Yang Rui angrily and anxiously, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"It's too late, you go with us to thank the teacher first, and when you come back, we'll talk again." Yang Rui called Su Yi in again and asked him and Cao Baoming to escort Shao Liang.

Seeing such two men with tigers on their backs, Shao Liang suddenly wilted and said, "I didn't expect you to still be on the street." ”

"What kind of street am I. Yang Rui shook his head.

Su Yi knew some street methods, looked down at Shao Liang's pull-back shoes, bent down and untied his shoelaces, and then turned his hand, he tied the shoelaces of his two feet together.

"Okay, you go ahead of us, don't blame me for not reminding you, you're walking slowly, I'll beat you, you're walking fast, I'll beat you. If you dare to run, then don't let me catch up, otherwise, I'll give you as many beatings as you let me run, do you understand?" Su Yi patted Shao Liang's cheek, and the calluses on his palms hurt.

Shao Liang secretly sold goods on the street, and he knew more people, so he immediately made a judgment, and obediently bowed his head and said, "I understand." ”

Su Yi nodded with satisfaction, then stepped out coldly, grabbed him a big horse and crawled, and said, "What do you understand? Do you know how I beat people?

Yang Rui was dumbfounded. As a fat man born in the 80s, although he has experienced the 80s, he has never been a young man in the 80s, who knows that the students at this time are so vigorous.

Shao Liang knew, got up in one go, and said more obediently: "You are right, I am wrong." ”

"Don't do it again, gotta lead the way. Su Yi raised his head and kicked him lightly.

Shao Liang smiled as if nothing happened.

This is school violence. Yang Rui pondered, but didn't say much.

Although school violence is a very serious problem in the 21st century, in the 80s, "school violence" was not a valid term, it was not even a noun.

A student is beaten by a teacher, a student is beaten by a student, a student's nose is broken, a student's face is swollen - in the eyes of many, this is nothing.

Compared to violence in society, schools are still simple and pure.

On the other hand, violence is indeed the quickest way to enforce an individual's will. Shao Liang, who was no longer shouting, was like a ghost, following behind Yang Rui, and he didn't dare to bring the slightest trouble.

The members of the Ruixue group came to the dormitory area with a large number of items.

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

Yang Rui first knocked on the door of Teacher Li Xiumei's house, and she was elected as the "most popular female teacher" and received more than half of the votes.

There was a "click" and the door opened.

It was a man who showed his head, he looked at the students outside strangely, nodded, and turned around and shouted, "Xiumei, your student." ”

Liu Shan and Huang Ren stood on either side of Yang Rui respectively, holding the things in their hands a little nervously.

The footsteps sounded quickly, and within a few seconds, I saw Teacher Li Xiumei open the door, showing a surprised expression: "What's the matter? ”

"Teacher Li, we are here to thank the teacher. Yang Rui said respectfully, and with a gesture of his hand behind him, the members of the second group who were ready immediately beat the gongs and drums and lit the firecrackers.

Gongs and drums are the standard configuration in the school's gymnasium, whether it is a sports meeting or a leader inspection, without the cooperation of gongs and drums, it will definitely not work.

The firecrackers were 200 rings of earth red bought from the mountain, and the sound was so loud and brittle that it made the teachers in the dormitory area quarrel in a few clicks.

In the 80s, there was no concept of commercial housing, and the land belonged to the state, and teachers whose homes were not local would live in the dormitory of the school.

At the end of the firecracker display, Yang Rui immediately said loudly: "Thank you Teacher Li Xiumei for your teaching, you are the most popular female teacher selected by your classmates." ”

Then, all the members of the Rui Xue group, including Yang Rui, bowed straight as if they had been pulled the trigger.

The neat movements give a very formal feel.

Li Xiumei, who has a gentle personality, was stunned, and didn't seem to understand the situation at all.

The people who watched the excitement were also stunned.

The celebration of gongs, drums and firecrackers was not invented by Yang Rui, in the past ten years, activities such as educated youths going to the countryside and supporting the frontier have been accompanied by such lively scenes.

But what is happening in front of you is clearly different.

Yang Rui smiled, took the gift box containing four cans from Wang Guohua's hand, handed it to Teacher Li Xiumei, and said loudly: "Teacher Li, the four cans here are the most popular prizes for female teachers, please take them." At the same time, on behalf of the members of the Sharp Learning Group, I would like to thank you again for your dedication. ”

The students bowed again and dispersed.

Li Xiumei made a clear picture of the situation, and said a little embarrassed: "You don't need to be like this......"

"It is not a simple thing to be welcomed by most students, and Mr. Li can do this, I believe that it has been a lot of work, and everyone just wants to express their gratitude...... "Yang Rui has been a tutor for several years and knows how difficult it is to be welcomed by students.

Students are a very sensitive group, especially middle school students, who are in a period of reshaping their values, and it is not that improving their academic performance will be welcomed by them, and similarly, laissez-faire is not the key to popularity.

In order to satisfy the students and be welcomed by the students, it is necessary to communicate patiently and meticulously, teach carefully and carefully, care deeply and fully delegate authority...... In short, it is much harder to make a class of students like themselves than it is to make the leader like themselves.

Because of this, although Yang Rui prepared the content of his speech in advance, his tone was extremely sincere.

Li Xiumei felt something, and the corners of her eyes involuntarily became moist.

In a township middle school, as an ordinary teacher, constantly shining, this is a kind of dedication in itself.

Working more than 10 hours a day, six days a week, is a simple effort.

Grading an infinite number of assignments, transcribing various test papers, and constantly analyzing and understanding the needs of students is a complex effort.

Talking to students, helping students, protecting students, and sponsoring students is a difficult effort.

Li Xiumei doesn't need others to thank her for her dedication, but she does need her hard work and dedication to be recognized.

The affirmation of the students is undoubtedly the most sincere and valuable.

Almost instantly, Li Xiumei's Wenqing consciousness was seduced, and two lines of tears also slid down her cheeks.

"Mom. Why are you crying?" a small head, grabbing his father's calf, poked out.

"Mom didn't cry, she was happy. Li Xiumei bent down and hugged her daughter.

The five-year-old girl, ignorant and cute, reached out to wipe away her mother's tears, but attracted more tears, and couldn't help but fall into confusion.

Looking at her daughter's expression, Li Xiumei wanted to cry and laugh again.

In order to facilitate work, she was ruthlessly weaned when her daughter was 9 months old.

In order to prepare for classes, she often worked late into the night, and her noisy daughter and husband could not sleep well.

In order to buy information, she not only lowered the food standards for herself and her husband, but also lowered the food standards for her daughter.

In order to visit the students' homes, she wore out her shoes and injured her feet.

Even though she is living in poverty, she still tries her best to help students who are financially disadvantaged, hoping that they will not drop out of school due to poverty......

Li Xiumei occasionally thinks about the question of return and whether it is worth it, but in this passionate era, she is more willing to do things than to think about things.

Only when she dreams back at midnight will she fantasize about one day, a former student will come to her and say "Thank you, teacher".

Until today, this was a fantasy.

Children who are fortunate enough to go out of the mountains rarely come back, and children who stay in the mountains are jerky and shy.

Li Xiumei always comforts herself: the students are still young, and when they are older, they will naturally be sensible.

But as time passed, she gradually buried those thoughts in her heart.

Until this moment, the slow, intense, gushing happiness made her hug her daughter tightly and accept the red gift box without hesitation.

This is a belated thanks, but not just Yang Rui's thanks.
