Chapter 24 The money has arrived

Chapter 24 The money has arrived
In the corridor, Fan Xiaotian had a blank expression on his face, and he even thought that he looked a little cold. He walked several meters away before suddenly turning back.

If a wolf turns back, there must be a reason, either to repay a favor or to seek revenge. If a Husky turns back, disaster is imminent, either the house is demolished or the building is demolished... Gu Lu looked at Fan Xiaotian, wondering which female classmate's heart he wanted to destroy?
"Who are you looking at?" Gu Lu asked.

"No, I thought I met a friend just now." Fan Xiaotian said.

Gu Lu almost believed it, but since the other party didn't want to say anything, he couldn't force him to speak.

"Gulu, are we brothers?!" Fan Xiaotian suddenly said.

"If I want to borrow money, I'll have to wait a week or two before I have the money," said Gu Lu.

"You have no money, why would I ask you to borrow money?" Fan Xiaotian was speechless. As good friends, although the other party never said it, he could probably guess his friend's family situation.

Therefore, anything that was of some benefit would be brought to Gu Lu. How could he possibly ask Gu Lu to borrow money?

"What's the matter?" Gu Lu asked.

"Accompany me somewhere next Tuesday at noon." Fan Xiaotian said.

This appointment is made really early. Here's a little science: for a man, it's not easy to make an appointment two days in advance, let alone seven or eight days in advance.

This aroused Gu Lu's curiosity. What was so serious? But Xiao Tian was very tight-lipped and said that we would know when the time came.

After returning to the classroom, Gu Lu discovered that something seemed to be brewing in the class recently. Small groups in the class were whispering and gathered together as if discussing something.

"Wipe the blackboard." A classmate reminded.

Oh, by the way, poor Gu Lu, he is on duty today.

Every day, two students (deskmates) are on duty on the blackboard. Their responsibilities include wiping the blackboard, cleaning the classroom, changing the purified water, etc.

Zhou Lin and Gu Lu divided the work and cooperated with each other. Since Gu Lu did not attend evening self-study, he had to do a little more work during the day.

"Bang!" Teacher Yan slammed the table, waking up some poor students who were sleeping. They looked up at the furious math teacher. The good news was that the teacher's anger was not directed at the poor students.

"I have explained this question many times. It is a must-answer question, but so many people in the class still got it wrong." Teacher Yan focused his attention on the few people who got the question wrong. They were basically students with average grades.

"If you fail to get into high school after the junior high school entrance examination, your life will be ruined, do you know that? If you fail, you will have no choice but to become a migrant worker, and you will never get a chance to work in an easy office." Teacher Yan said.

I know that the math teacher is worried about the students' grades, but the way he speaks is a little too harsh, and he looks down on migrant workers... Gu Lu can also understand why Teacher Yan is the most unpopular teacher in the class.

"Everyone knows how to find a chance to go to high school." Teacher Yan said, "Why don't you study?!"

Gu Lu, who always thought it was none of his business, never expected the teacher to suddenly call his name.

Swish-

The whole class looked at Gu Lu in unison, with some expressing surprise, some contempt, some disbelief, and some just wanting to have fun.

After all, Gu Lu was a poor student with a score of 0.8 in everyone's eyes, so where was the other 0.2? His Chinese grades were good, and he could often get around 150 points out of on the test paper, which was in the upper-middle level in the class.

But for other subjects, English scored 40-50 points, Mathematics scored 30-40 points, and Physics and Chemistry were even worse.

This is for high school? You must be kidding!
"Someone asked me these days why Gu Lu doesn't have to do math homework," Teacher Yan continued, "Because he has to prepare for an essay competition. If he gets good grades in the essay competition, he can be directly recommended for admission."

That's it!

Isn't that similar to Wang Hongming? Xiaoming is a student with a specialty in dancing.

But Xiao Ming's classical dance was performed at the school celebration last year, and it was indeed amazing. However, Gu Lu's participation in the essay competition gave the students a sense of fantasy. "If you don't work hard, you may not be as good as Gu Lu in the end." Teacher Yan added, holding the test paper, "Okay, I'll explain it again. If you don't understand, take notes and listen carefully."

After hearing this, Gu Lu was too tired to complain and lowered his head, then he saw a small note passed to him by his deskmate.

My desk mate really likes to pass notes to others, so she even bought a notebook to use for passing notes during class.

[What competition did you participate in? When will the results be announced? Can you really get a guaranteed admission if you win a place?]
Zhou Lin was very interested in him, and Gu Lu confirmed once again that this guy really didn't pay much attention in class!
After class, the math teacher walked out of the classroom, and Gu Lu's seat was surrounded by his classmates. It felt like entering a zoo to see something strange.

"You're so damn smart, you came up with this trick to avoid doing your homework!"

"I don't even want to say the word envious. Can I participate? I don't want to do my homework either."

"Gu Lu, your writing is okay, but you didn't get this high a rank."

With these remarks, Teacher Yan made Gu Lu the focus of the whole class.

Chen Na touched Zhao Juan, like a hunter who had discovered some treasure, and smiled slyly, "Look, others are participating in the competition just for you to get into a good high school."

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhao Juan said shyly, "I haven't told him these things. This can only mean that Gu Lu is a man who knows how to make progress."

"Okay, okay, I hope you can go to the same high school." Sister Nana said.

The heat lasted for most of the day and only got a little better when school was over.

Class 5's garbage has to be taken out three times a day, and no one knows where all the garbage comes from. I didn't think much of it before, but now Gu Lu starts to make outrageous remarks, "Humans are garbage makers!"

"You haven't taken out the trash yet?" Zhou Lin came running back in a hurry. I don't know where she went crazy. The girl has great physical strength.

"We agreed that you would do it once and I would do it once. This is the third time, so we must do it together." Gu Lu said, "This is called fairness!"

"Okay, that's fair."

So Gu and Zhou each held the garbage bag by its ears and walked towards the garbage collection area behind the school flower bed.

Gu Lu's steps were bigger, but in order to keep them almost on the same level, he slowed down a bit.

At dusk, the two of them took out the trash slowly.

After staying at home for five days, Gu's father disappeared again.

I was a little disappointed. Gu Lu really liked home-cooked meals, especially those with meat.

"So, I am just a stingy person. In my previous life, I only ate lean meat. Even pork belly felt greasy to me. Now, even pork belly is delicious to me." Gu Lu said.

The key point is that Gu's father left without leaving any money!

There are two possibilities: Father Gu doesn't care about the child at all, or Father Gu cares about the child but he himself has never thought of not returning home for a long time after leaving.

"I personally prefer the former, because I have a bank card and can transfer money to me whenever I remember." Gu Lu said, "The only good news is that there is still rice."

Gu Lu spent another three days in a peaceful life and officially entered the midsummer month.

That day, Gu Lu returned home and saw a missed call on his phone. It was from Lao Li, who came to inform him that the royalties were almost received!
"The collection of Edogawa Ranpo has also been revised and can be submitted to Jiufen. Double happiness. One in my left hand, and hey, another duck, on my body..." Gu Lu hummed a little tune happily.

Decided to go to the bank tomorrow.
