Gu Bei walked all the way through the bright street lamps and walked through the streets and alleys. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than ten years have passed, the street intersection in his memory is still clear, looking at the scenery of the old Cheng District, a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously, as he gets closer to home, seeing the lights on the windows of those densely populated places, Gu Bei has a trace of sadness, especially an urge to reunite with his family.

Gu Bei was also a generation that grew up in a honeypot, his father drove a truck to engage in transportation, his mother worked in the Shilin City Tobacco Factory, the work was stable and comfortable, the family's small life was not prosperous, and it was a solid family that everyone envied in the tobacco factory, but Gu's father was not satisfied with this, in 1998, he felt that real estate had a big start, so he sold the truck, borrowed a large amount of money from his comrades-in-arms and relatives, and became a contract foreman.

From the perspective of Gu Bei's later generations, his father Gu Chengming discovered the huge potential of China's real estate in 98 years, and he has to be said to be a talent, but the first project he contracted paid a painful price.

The developer above my father is a wealthy businessman named Wu Jinye in Shilin City, Wu Jinye used private usury to raise funds for the project, and then there was a problem with the capital, and he wanted to cash in advance, but the interest rolled too fiercely, and the money was smashed into the project, Wu Jinye couldn't get the money and there was a cashing crisis, so he ran away with the remaining money.

At that time, information was blocked, and before taking over the project, it was impossible for Gu's father and the contractor of other engineering projects to know where the money in Wu Jinye's pocket came from, not to mention that Wu Jinye was one of the local rich people, and no one knew that this animal was playing the trick of a white wolf with empty gloves.

In Gu Bei's impression, the father who contracted a branch project paid a pledge of 80,000 yuan, as well as the purchase of a large number of construction equipment, as well as the wages of the construction personnel, and all kinds of expenses added up to more than 400,000 yuan, and most of them were borrowed money from the family.

In that era of low prices and labor, the annual income of ordinary families was only a few thousand yuan, 400,000 yuan was no less than astronomical amounts, and the family's savings were squandered and they were saddled with huge debts.

Gu Bei vaguely remembered that his small life in junior high school was very nourishing, eating and drinking well and pocket money, after his father suddenly suffered bad luck, the situation of the family was completely ruined, and pocket money was unthinkable, and what really impressed him was the hateful face of the neighbor with a mask of hypocrisy, and the creditors took the opportunity to fall into the well and forced the debt again and again.

Thinking about it, Gu Bei had already come downstairs in the community.

Pushing open the wooden door, the large green paint on it has been mottled off, revealing the black-brown veneer, full of old atmosphere, the kitchen wafted out a mixed smell of oil smoke and vegetables, the old mother Li Yuling is cooking on the stove that burns honeycomb coal, the weather is hot, her charming face oozes fine sweat, and from time to time she raises the back of her hand to wipe the sweat.

Gu Bei couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart: "Mom, I'm back." ”

"I'm back." Gu's mother looked up and smiled: "I'll make the dish immediately, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." ”

Gu Bei responded: "What about my dad?" ”

Gu's mother said: "I rented out and didn't come back." ”

This sentence made Gu Bei's mood heavy again.

He remembered that now his father has started his old business again, driving, trucks are unaffordable, his father has engaged in a second-hand motorcycle rental, earning money to pay off debts, and when the debts and interest are completely paid off, it is already a matter of Gu Bei taking the debt on himself after two years of work, but at that time, Gu's father was nearly fifty years old, his hair was all white, and most of his life was spent in regret and remorse.

"Gu Bei, what are you doing in a daze?" Gu's mother, who came out of the dishes, saw Gu Bei's strange face, and couldn't help asking, "Is there too much pressure for the college entrance examination right away?" ”

"Nope." Gu Bei pretended to be okay and laughed, not daring to speak more, for fear that his mother would notice something, he washed his hands and ate with his head bored, the food was not delicious, but with a strong smell of home, and his mother's face, because the family owed a lot of money, she was stressed and looked very haggard, which couldn't help but make Gu Bei sour again.

After dinner, his father Gu Chengming hadn't gone home yet, and he had to go to school tomorrow, so his mother urged Gu Bei to rest early, and Gu Bei went back to his bedroom.

Lying in bed, he couldn't sleep for a long time, like knocking a mouse pill, he was in a state of anxiety and excitement all night, his mind was full of memories of the past, and all kinds of ideas for the future, can he change the difficult situation at home? Will you be able to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet for the upcoming college entrance examination? And that girlfriend Xia Nuo, who is more than a thousand kilometers away, can he hold her hand again and give her the happiness that she was not able to give in her previous life?

A thousand thoughts came to my mind......

Gu Bei shook his head vigorously, no matter what, going back to the past means that he can start over, we can save Li Caiwei's life, and of course we can change our fate, just like playing a game, since I have read the file, I have to play more slippery than before!

For now, no matter what the future path is, the most important thing is the college entrance examination, I took three exams in my previous life, and I have to take the good university in this life, so that my parents can be a person with a waist board, on the other hand, from now on, I must develop some good habits.

For example, to overcome the slackness of your own inertia!

The next day of school, Gu Bei was the earliest one in the class.

First familiarized himself with high school English, Gu Bei's English in high school was average, but when he worked at the sports weekly under the South China Daily, because of his excellent pen and the appreciation of the editor-in-chief, he got a place to go to the United States as a team reporter.

The editor-in-chief was an old woman in her forties, who had a little meaning for Gu Bei, and launched a fierce pursuit of Gu Bei when she was stationed in the United States. This kind of unspoken rule is very common in the media world, and many big editor-in-chief reporters will take the opportunity to bring new people to mess with the relationship between men and women.

Gu Bei didn't want to do it, and he didn't dare to do it.

The husband of the editor-in-chief is a senior member of the South China Daily Group and has a lot of power, if the relationship with the editor-in-chief is discovered, Gu Bei will die! Although Du Danhua is dead, and he is also a ghost, it is a pity that his editor-in-chief looks really sorry for the people and the party, even if Gu Bei is willing, the chicken will have to go on strike.

Gu Bei was so ambiguous that he didn't refuse or agree, and after more than a year of delay, the unbearable editor-in-chief personally ruined his career, which was the most cruel blow Gu Bei had ever encountered since his work, and his career has been in decline since then, but because of the needs of work, he worked hard to learn English for two years in the United States, and when he left the United States, he was able to communicate with the Yankees without barriers.

As for language, Gu Bei is more sure to get a high score.

He came from the Chinese Department of University, and then worked as a reporter and editor for nearly ten years, word choice and reading comprehension are his strengths, and he still remembers the Chinese composition in the 01 college entrance examination, so in the next 29 days, he will focus on mathematics, politics, geography, and history.

As time passed, there were more and more students in the classroom.

Looking at Gu Bei, who was immersed in studying at the table, the classmates were amazed: This kid is really indirectly full of ambition, and he continues to eat and wait for death!

"Good boy, have you changed your mind and become a new person?"

Gu Bei's shoulder was tapped from behind, and he turned his head to see Li Zheng.

Compared with the black-hearted tannery owner with a fat head and big ears and a beer belly in later generations, Li Zheng at this moment is a little fresh meat with a face full of collagen, a thin and tall figure with long hair, and a smell of riffraff all over his body.

Gu Bei felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, and said with a smile: "I am a new person, you have to keep up with the pace of the times and study hard every day, don't be like a little ruffian all day long, otherwise if I study Tsinghua University in two months, it will not be suitable for you to go to Jade Bird Peking University." ”

"Yo he! Give you a little sunshine and it will be brilliant immediately, still Tsinghua? Li Zheng said disdainfully: "Your little score, I think it's more suitable for you to squat at home." ”

"Keep talking, you." Gu Bei was too lazy to argue.

"By the way, I heard that Li Caiwei almost had a car accident yesterday and was saved by your kid?" Li Zheng put his arm on Gu Bei's shoulder, with a gossip expression on his face, obscene and cheap: "Sent her home?" Did you get into the house? ”

Gu Bei said angrily: "Are you a tease invited by the monkey?" ”

Li Zheng's face was loveless: "I really want to eat Tang monk meat!" ”

Gu Beinunu mouthed: "Tang Seng is here, you go and eat." ”

Li Zheng turned his head and saw Li Caiwei, Li Caiwei was wearing a white skirt and a ponytail, and the morning sun sprinkled on her body, reflecting a clear light.

Li Caiwei is very popular in the class, yesterday she almost had a car accident The classmates all know, the classmates have greeted and cared about the study committee members of the class, Li Caiwei seems to be in a good mood, and yesterday she was as cold as frost She judged the two of them, pursed her lips and smiled in response to everyone's concern.

That pure light smile castrated Li Zheng for a moment, and he whispered nonsense in Gu Bei's ear: "Did you notice?" Li Caiwei looks so good when she laughs, tsk, it's almost catching up with me! ”

Gu Bei rolled his eyes: "Li Caiwei looks good when she laughs, but you look funny!" ”

This sentence happened to be heard by Li Caiwei, who came over, and she blushed: "It's not good to talk about people behind your back." ”

Gu Bei scratched his hair and didn't say anything, Li Zhengchun, who was super thick-skinned, didn't hear it, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, study committee." ”

"How are you?" Li Caiwei smiled, then took out a notebook from the pink Nike backpack and handed it to Gu Bei: "This is for you." After a moment's hesitation, she added, "If you don't understand, ask me." ”

Gu Bei smiled: "Thank you, Elder Commissioner." ”

Li Zheng smashed his mouth, and was a little impressed by Gu Bei in his heart, this kid has been at the same table with Li Caiwei, a big beauty, for so long, and he has never understood the principle of getting the moon first near the water, this time he finally opened his brain, and even used such a vulgar trick as borrowing a notebook, tsk, it's really getting more and more things coming, rotten wood can be carved!

At this time, the bell rang.

The first lesson is the math lesson of all evils.

Gu Bei didn't understand what the math teacher said, he opened Li Caiwei's notebook and looked at it, which recorded Li Caiwei's learning experience and math points from the first to the third year of high school, the font was fresh and beautiful, and it was very good-looking, but Gu Bei was not in the mood to appreciate it, because he found that there were few questions in the notebook that he knew.

Mathematics is different from English, you can remember it for a lifetime if you learn the language, as for mathematics, Gu Bei has been away from campus for more than ten years, and the knowledge he learned has long been fed to the dogs, and at most there are still a little vague concepts in his mind.

The math teacher is still talking about topics that Gu Bei doesn't understand, and Li Caiwei is doing a collection of mathematics finale questions in the previous college entrance examinations, Gu Bei can't help but sigh: The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but the teacher is talking about the fourth chapter, the top student is reading the eighth chapter, and Lao Tzu is still reading the catalog!

For the college entrance examination in 30 days, Gu Bei was worried.

But there is no way, there are 150 points in mathematics, and he can't give up, but he can't get into it, because the time is not enough at all, Gu Bei pondered for a long time, and felt that he only needed to understand some relatively superficial knowledge points to pass the exam, so he reviewed from the beginning of high school mathematics, marked the places he didn't understand, and gave up the big topics directly.

After school at noon, Li Zheng called Gu Bei to go to a small restaurant outside to eat stir-fry.

Gu Bei said that he would go home for dinner and refused.

In fact, not to mention the small fried in the restaurant outside, Gu Bei can't afford to eat a canteen of six cents a piece.

The impoverished family has no spare money for Gu Bei's consumption, so he has to ride a bicycle home for 40 minutes every day at noon under the scorching sun to eat lunch, and then spend another 40 minutes to rush to school.

Days like this are really tiring!

Gu Bei was tortured in his ********previous life, and his reading efficiency was greatly reduced, but now Gu Bei has no complaints, from the moment he was reborn, he knew that he needed to overcome some difficulties that he had not overcome before.

After the last first class in the afternoon, the squad leader Li Yu came to Gu Bei's desk and whispered, "Gu Bei, there is something to discuss with you." ”

"What?"

Gu Bei glanced at Li Yu, who was embarrassed, and sighed in his heart, it seems that nothing good is good!

Sure enough, Li Yu said: "When will you pay the college entrance examination registration fee?" The head teacher has said it a few times, and now you are the only one in the class. ”

Li Yu's voice was very low, probably worried that other students would embarrass Gu Bei when they heard it, after all, it was a shame that they couldn't pay the registration fee, everyone was a student, and no one wanted to be looked down upon by the classmates who got along day and night.

However, when several classmates around saw the class leader Li Jue coming, they all paid attention to him, and they still heard his words, and at this time, everyone looked at Gu Bei, with a strange taste in their eyes, I don't know whether it was kind pity or a wordless smile.

Gu Bei opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

He looked at the strange expressions of his classmates around him, as if for a moment, the carving knife of memory slammed into the depths of his mind, and scenes of unbearable retrospection emerged.
