Chapter 8 Find the target
“Are there any works that mention Lenin or comment on the October Revolution?”

Gu Lu racked his brains and translated the work into most languages ​​to prove that it was also a famous work on Earth in the previous life, but the number just didn't match.

Why is Gu Lu so persistent in his exploration? Only by knowing what the work is, can one work towards that direction and thus obtain the ability to read it in the brain sooner.

Unfortunately, Gu Lu didn't find a suitable target until after school.

"The get out of class is over. Next class we will be discussing the Treaty of Versailles and the Nine-Power Treaty. Please prepare in advance."

As soon as the history teacher finished speaking, before he walked out of the classroom, "Oh oh oh" was heard in the classroom, as if the cry of apes that had not yet evolved into humans.

After Fan Xiaotian packed up his things and walked to the front, he found that his good brother's seat was empty.

I was careless and didn't dodge. Fan Xiaotian's expression showed this emotion, and then he ran towards the school gate in a hurry with the canvas bag.

At this moment, many "apes" had run out to the playground. Some of them were carrying schoolbags on their heads, and some were jumping around as if they couldn't walk. Fan Xiaotian blended into the group of apes and was not conspicuous.

"Here, catch it." Zhang Yudong started throwing things from a distance of five meters. He didn't throw them at anyone, and his force was not accurate. It seemed that for him, it didn't matter if he didn't catch it.

"Got it." Gu Lu said, his hands were a little sore from copying these days, but he thought, bear it a little longer, better days will come soon.

Zhang Yudong handed the "project payment" for the weekend assignment to Gu Lu, and then left the school gate with his friend.

"I handed in a blank paper, but they still asked me to do homework. There's something wrong with these teachers."

"Especially the old witches and hags, they seem to be in menopause all day long."

They started talking about the teacher before they even left the school, and then turned the topic to games, such as Dungeon Fighter and Fantasy Westward Journey.

Gu Lu waited at the school gate for a while before Fan Xiaotian arrived.

"You're walking too fast," Fan Xiaotian said.

"No, I was just the first one to run out of the classroom, but not the first one to run out of the school gate." Gu Lu said that there are still experts in No. 37 Middle School.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Lu followed Fan Xiaotian. As for where they were going, the latter avoided the question, allegedly to maintain a sense of mystery.

"Gulu, have you bought any storytelling clubs recently? Let me know when you're done reading it."

“I didn’t buy a new one.”

"I want to buy a copy of Legends of Ancient and Modern Times, but it's a bit expensive."

"It seems that Legends of Ancient and Modern Times is also thicker, right? Thicker ones are more expensive, which is normal."

"Oh, then I will definitely be able to make money in the future. When my dad slapped me, he said I was too thick-skinned and it hurt his hand."

"Why did your father beat you?"

……

As we were chatting, we walked to a barber shop.

Don't get me wrong, it's a legitimate barber shop, and what Fan Xiaotian meant by "bringing his brother to see the world" was just bringing Gu Lu to get his hair permed.

"?" Whenever a question mark appeared in Gu Lu's eyes, it was not him who had a problem, but the other party.

After calming down, Gu Lu said, "If this gets too hot, it will definitely cause trouble on Monday."

"Don't worry, we will perm it once." A look like that of a Husky flashed in Fan Xiaotian's eyes.

Is there a one-time perm? When Gu Lu was confused, the barber explained that a one-time perm is done with a straightening iron for a few times without applying any lotion, so it is only valid for one afternoon.

It costs six dollars each time, which is a huge expense for Xiaotian.

Gu Lu thought that in 2012, the non-mainstream trend had already declined, but junior and senior high school students still wanted to look cool by growing long hair.

Straightening your hair and forming it into a hedgehog style is even more fashionable.

I wanted to refuse. On the one hand, the hedgehog hair style did not suit Gu Lu's aesthetic taste, and on the other hand, it would be a waste to spend six dollars for an entire afternoon!

"We must come together." Fan Xiaotian insisted. He felt that something was wrong. Gu Lu was not a psychological counselor in his previous life, and his emotional intelligence was not high, so he didn't know what happened.

But according to the original body's memory and understanding of Fan Xiaotian, his pocket money was basically used to rent books and buy storybooks, and was never spent on his appearance.

Something was wrong, but Gu Lu agreed anyway.

Seeing this, Fan Xiaotian started to make arrangements and asked the boss to prepare it for his friend first.

Fan Xiaotian really had something to do. He really tried to steal a mobile phone at home, but was discovered. As a result, he was punished by his father to kneel for a long time.

Feeling that he had failed to help his good friend and worried that his few friends would ignore him, Fan Xiaotian decided to spend a lot of money and asked Gu Lu to perm his hair (a one-time version).

More than twenty minutes later, Gu Lu and Fan Xiaotian unlocked new skins.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Gu Lu wanted to laugh. What a spirited young man.

"Let's go." After paying the money, Fan Xiaotian walked away without caring about his relatives.

The change in hairstyle gave Fan Xiaotian a boost of confidence. His spiky hair swayed in the wind like a reed supporting a pond.

Gu Lu lowered his head, feeling his old face... Then he was pulled by Fan Xiaotian and walked around the street many times, as if he wanted to let the whole Ganghua (a relatively prosperous commercial street in Dadukou) know that they had permed their hair.

If there weren't so few students in the school at the moment, Fan Xiaotian would probably want to hang out at the school gate.

Feeling the deep generation gap, Gu Lu treated Fan Xiaotian to a string of rice cakes as a return gift.

The three best street-side grilled vegetables in the foggy city are rice cakes, sweet potato skins, and dried tofu.

Especially in the dried tofu, roast it until it bubbles, then add shallots, pickled radish, and sour cowpea, and roll it together...

I can’t say any more. Besides, one skewer is not enough for Gu Lu. Today is already an overspending day for him.

I finished all my homework and that of my sponsor on Friday, had lunch on Saturday, and went to the fat boss’s game room in the afternoon.

Wow, there were so many people, red flags were waving, all the machines were full, and there were even two groups of people queuing.

"No one is playing on the computer, just go in, I won't greet you." The fat boss turned around to help change the disc, he was very busy at the moment.

There are only two controllers on one machine, but that is the limit of the PS3, not the limit of students. Three people form a group to play Digimon Battle, and whoever loses will be eliminated.

Gu Lu walked to the boss' bedroom with ease, turned on the computer, and first checked the matter of the gifted students.

Special students in colleges and universities are also divided into arts and sports. The arts include music, dance, painting, calligraphy... and even drama, not writing dramas, but being a drama actor, and taking performance exams.

I don't have any special skills related to writing.

However, there is always a way out, and Gu Lu found another way.

In addition to achieving excellent results in the city-wide mock exams before the high school entrance exams, students recommended for admission to universities in the Fog City can also receive special consideration if they win provincial awards.

"The value of essay competitions is not as high as that of science subjects such as the Mathematical Olympiad, so if you want to be stable, it is best to win a national essay competition." Gu Lu searched the Internet and found three national essay competitions with suitable registration times.

Bing Xin Cup, Ye Shengtao Cup, and National Middle School Students' Creative Writing Competition.

"No, there is no junior high school group in the Innovation Writing Competition, it is only for high schools." Then the other two are Gu Lu's goals, especially the Ye Shengtao Cup, which can be entered into the archives.

The registration period for the Bing Xin Cup preliminary round ends in April. You can write whatever you want about the preliminary round.

The only thing is that the Ye Shengtao cup is a bit troublesome...

In addition, even though Gu Lu came from Earth and had seen many great college entrance examination essays and could piece together his essay, he was not 100% sure of getting a rank.

It would be best to trigger a few more books as a foundation, Gu Lu thought.

After learning all this, Gu Lu went back into typing mode, and it took him 217 minutes to finish all the works that could be submitted!
"Just waiting for news from Story Club."
