Chapter 244 A Good Year and a Good Season

"Hello, classmates. I am Zhou Rui, a student of Qinghe No. 1 Middle School in 2006."

On the playground, the senior students came to the playground on the last morning before the holiday. The teacher notified them a few days ago, but some of them were confused.

At the end of the team, one person asked, "Who is this? Why do we have to listen to his speech?"

"Last year's national college entrance examination champion, a fairy-like figure from our school, posted at the school gate."

"Ah?! I remember, I also saw him riding a donkey!"

"He can sing and play with sticks, so amazing."

"But I thought he was ugly, but he looks okay in person."

Zhou Rui stood on the temporary podium. The entire layout was basically the same as last year's mobilization meeting. Sitting behind him were the principal, the dean of teaching, Huang Dewei and other school leaders.

He wrote the manuscript himself. For the second time speaking in front of hundreds of people, which can be regarded as the first formal speech, Zhou Rui still attaches great importance to it, and also for the purpose of gaining experience.

But what came out first was not the [speech] experience.

"The entry task [reputation], experience value +1, current progress (1/100)."

Zhou Rui collected his thoughts and put his hands behind his back. Today was an impromptu speech.

As the [study god] entry took effect, Zhou Rui only said an opening remark, and the students below were all focused. His words seemed to have magic, and everyone listened very carefully.

"The entry task [speech], experience value +1, current progress (1/100)."

This time the manuscript was very long, but compared with the previous mobilization meeting, Zhou Rui's own mood was very peaceful, and there was no singing, so there was no excessive atmosphere or sensationalism.

But the words were still very persuasive.

"Senior year is very tiring, very bitter, and very boring, but it is the last chance for everyone to enjoy, 'hard work will definitely be rewarded'"

Some of the great truths that teachers have talked about for a long time, when they come out of his mouth, the students really listen to them.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

"Three years of silence will lead to a surprise when you do it"

"Reading makes people happy. If you are not happy, you must be sick!"

"How can you sleep at your age!"

"What the horse sees is determined by run!"

A group of school leaders nodded frequently in the back. Every time they said these words, the students below were like they were on the defensive, immune to all poisons.

Now that these words came out of Zhou Rui's mouth, the students below should not be too involved.

It was like TM was drugged.

A few of them were already clenching their fists, wishing they could take out their math textbooks and hammer them twice to create sparks of knowledge.

And Zhou Rui was getting more and more excited as he spoke, because the system experience prompt sound in his ears never stopped.

"Entry task [Speech], experience value +1, current progress (5/100)."

"Entry task [Speech], experience value +1"

"Entry task"

A speech to hundreds of people, planned to last 15 minutes, gave Zhou Rui nearly 20 experience points halfway through.

This was the most refreshing experience Zhou Rui had ever gained!

Extra time! Must extra time!

Zhou Rui took out his thermos cup, shook it before drinking, and took a sip of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup. [Health] experience +1 again, don't be too happy.

"I'll talk for another eight points"

Huang Dewei coughed twice at the back to remind Zhou Rui to pay attention to the time.

He was almost using up the principal's speech time.

The old principal shook his head at Huang Dewei, meaning that Xiao Zhou should continue.

In the end, 10 minutes were temporarily added, and Zhou Rui finished his speech with a sense of unsatisfaction.

The principal came up with his tail pinched and said a word.

"Student Zhou Rui said it well!"

Zhou Rui walked off the stage and checked the experience points of up to 40 points, and his heart was flying.

But next time he wants to give a speech to hundreds of people, he has to create opportunities himself.

In comparison, the [Reputation] task is much more stingy. It gave 1 point at the beginning, and there was no movement afterwards.

Zhou Rui realized that this might be a long-term task.

After shaking his head and looking at Lu Xubo, Zhou Rui watched him enter the teaching building. He went to the principal's office to chat for a while and agreed that he would take over the "Zhou Rui Scholarship" in the future to maintain this small project named after himself.

According to the principal, the school will sponsor about 20-30 students a year. Calculated at 300 per person per month, the annual cost is about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.

The amount is not large, even less than one-tenth of Zhou Rui's car, but the meaning of spending money is completely different.

However, Zhou Rui proposed that Huang Dewei supervise the account. Although he is still a school person, he believes that Lao Huang is trustworthy in this matter.

In the next two days, Zhou Rui immersed himself in the preparations before the Spring Festival, buying pork heads in the east and setting off fireworks in the west. He also took time to visit his uncle's house and accompanied Yao Peili to visit some friends and relatives.

Go to bed early and get up early every day + do boxing + drink the Ten-fold Tonic Soup, [Health Preservation] can get about 4-5 experience points. The total progress is close to (20/100). It is expected that after returning to Shanghai, it will not take a few days to get this entry.

On New Year's Eve, Yao Peili was frying cakes in the kitchen, while Zhou Rui and Zhou Weigang were posting couplets in the corridor.

At this time of year in previous years, No. 277 Tianhe Road was covered with couplets, and Zhou Rui would read them all the way to identify which family had the best taste. This year, there is no chance, as there are only a few households left in the whole building.

Zhou Rui and Zhou Weigang decided to put stickers on the door of the unit and the gate of No. 277 Tianhe Road, adding a final touch of vitality to this place that is about to disappear.

The Spring Festival in the south is very different from that in the north. In the north, it is cold in winter, and New Year's Eve has been mainly "indoor" activities since ancient times. Everyone stays at home, makes dumplings, and watches the Spring Festival Gala.

The temperature in the south is generally above zero in winter. It is not as warm as spring, but it does not affect everyone's outdoor activities, so the content is more diverse.

Guangdong Province is the southern part of the south, and this is the case most.

As for the Spring Festival Gala, to be honest, it is not prepared for southerners. From the costumes, to the skits, to the overall atmosphere, it is difficult for the south, especially Guangdong Province, to watch it.

Zhou Rui remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather was still alive. The TV would occasionally broadcast the Spring Festival Gala. A line in a skit said: "It's the New Year. No matter how badly you are doing, who doesn't eat dumplings?"

Little Zhou Rui looked at the crabs, roast chicken, and glutinous rice cakes on the table, but he couldn't find any dumplings. He thought to himself that our family was doing so badly.

There were not many relatives in the Zhou and Yao families. It was said that his great grandfather fled from famine in other places, so there was no ancestral temple to worship.

Only Zhou Rui's family and his uncle's family worshipped their ancestors at No. 277 Tianhe Road, where his grandfather had lived for many years. After that, his uncle returned to his own home, and Zhou Rui's family started the New Year's Eve dinner.

During the meal, Zhou Rui was still curious and turned on the TV to play the Spring Festival Gala. Anyway, it was empty.

At first glance, it was amazing. Jay Chou was also on the Spring Festival Gala this year!

Awesome!

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhou Rui's family changed into new clothes and walked towards Wenzhong Road.

Every Spring Festival, Qinghe County has a lantern festival.

Although in Zhou Rui's opinion, it was just a lively market, the small place had limited capacity, so they could hang some lanterns and invite a lion team, and they couldn't ask for too much.

As for Yingge, Zhou Rui had never seen Qinghe County do it before. It was too big a scene, and not every place could play it, but he had seen it in other places in his previous life, and it was really handsome.

On the way, Zhou Weigang stuffed Zhou Rui with a handful of red envelopes as thin as cicada wings, which contained five or ten yuan. When he met the children of acquaintances, he would give them out casually.

Zhou Rui opened one to see that the red envelope was thicker than money: "Is there anyone younger than me?"

Zhou Weigang smiled and said, "You are in college, you are an adult."

"Who can I give it to?"

"You will have to prepare it yourself when you need it."

Zhou Rui thought to himself, I must be embarrassed to put five yuan

From a distance, I saw Li Wenqian waving at this side, and the two families agreed to come together.

Li Wenqian and Li Huihua waited for a while. Li Wenqian wore a color-blocked short windbreaker with a pleated skirt. The small leather shoes on her feet were polished to a shine, and her slender ankles were outlined by tights and pants to create a refreshing curve.

After standing at the intersection for a while, several young men looked over here, and some tried to come over to get to know her.

So when she saw Zhou Rui coming, she jumped over like she was running away, and the little rabbit finally felt more secure.

Li Huihua met Yao Peili, and the two talked and laughed.

Zhou Rui walked side by side with Li Wenqian very naturally, and praised Li Wenqian's new clothes.

Zhou Weigang was the last one to pay the bill.

Familiar places, familiar people, and familiar New Year.

While walking, three or four children surrounded them.

"Brother! Are you here to play with us?"

"Brother! I have a cannon today! Let's go play!"

"Brother! I can throw it far now, let's play again!"

Li Wenqian didn't know what was going on, she covered her mouth and laughed: "You still recognize the second and third brothers?"

Zhou Rui smiled contemptuously: "They are all defeated."

As he said, he took out a handful of red envelopes with "thick skin and thin filling" from his pocket.

Suddenly, he understood the meaning of this custom. Just like Zhou Weigang said, there will always be a time to use it.

"Come on, come on, one for each of you, let's see who jumps higher!"

Li Wenqian stood by her side, watching Zhou Rui holding a red envelope high in one hand, teasing the child like fishing, and suddenly she was a little fascinated.

For some reason

She hugged Zhou Rui's waist from behind.

Holding tightly.

As if she wanted to melt into her body

The first time she hugged Zhou Rui after growing up was actually a few days ago in Dabai Village.

The heart that had been carefully calculating to maintain a distance showed a slight fluctuation again.

Zhou Rui, who was teasing the child, was stunned. He looked at Li Wenqian and asked curiously, "You don't want it too, do you?"

Li Wenqian trembled, covered her eyes, and then suddenly pulled down and locked Zhou Rui from behind.

"Hurry up and grab it! I'll help you control him!"

Several children took the red envelope in the chaos. Zhou Rui looked at Li Wenqian hanging on him speechlessly, with a face full of question marks.

"What's your trick?"

Li Wenqian stood up as if nothing had happened, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

"It's fun to help others!"

Zhou Weigang, who was a few meters behind, witnessed the whole process and secretly gave Zhou Rui a thumbs up.

He is worthy of being my son.

I should have no shortage of grandchildren in my life.

A preview: tomorrow's event will be changed to two updates, which should be in the evening.

Some people say that I update 4,000 words a day, which is slander. In the 43 days since it was put on the shelves, I only took one day off, and updated about 8,000 words per day. In the past 30 days, I updated 7,300 words per day.

I will post an Easter egg chapter to prove my innocence!
