Chapter 31 Gifts
The most imaginative Lucheng people would never have expected that Lucheng No. 3 Middle School could advance to the semi-finals.
This is a historic breakthrough!
The players of Shanguo No. 1 Middle School were not convinced that Lucheng No. 3 Middle School went to participate in the provincial selection competition. After hearing the news that Lucheng No. 3 Middle School made it to the semi-finals, they had to admit that Lucheng No. 3 Middle School is really stronger than theirs this year.
They reached the semi-finals and obtained the national second-level athlete certificate, which also had a negative impact on the players of Lucheng No. 3 Middle School. In the next semi-finals, facing the powerful Blue Island 6 Middle School, they lacked the desire to win and were eliminated in the end 0:5.
After the competition, Gao Xiaodong, Sun Haitao, and Liu Guangfei, who needed to participate in the provincial high-level test and university special test, stayed, and the other players followed the coach back to Lucheng.
Although Lucheng City's third high school performance was not good in the final game, it had exceeded expectations by much more than expected. Who cares about losing to the strongest high school in the football city of Blue Island?
After returning from Lucheng No. 3 Middle School, it was welcomed like a hero. The school held a meeting to commend it. The students envied and admired it. When they played football on the court, they were all guarded by their opponents as aliens Ronaldo.
Director Chu said hello before, Gao Xiaodong's high-level test and school special test, and the cultural course test were very easy. After the test, Gao Xiaodong returned to Yishan County first. He wanted to tell his parents about the news that he had obtained the national second-level athlete certificate and passed the sports test, so that they would be happy.
Gao’s father and mother have not seen Gao Xiaodong for almost two months. When Gao Xiaodong appeared in front of them, Gao’s father and mother almost did not recognize their son.
"Oh my God! Xiaodong, why are you so thin?"
"Little bastard, are you heartbroken?"
Gao’s father and Gao’s mother said in surprise and joy.
Thin? Gao Xiaodong was speechless about his mother's words. He now has 85 kilograms. The original fat has not been completely transformed into muscles. For a figure of 1.7 meters, such a weight is already very fat.
"My mom and dad, if you think I'm thin, give me more money and I'll be fatter next month."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile.
Gao's mother hurriedly said, "Don't get fat, don't lose weight anymore, this is the best."
Gao's father said coldly: "No matter whether you are fat or thin, you will not give money to you again."
Gao Xiaodong took out two boxes from his backpack, handed them to his father and the other to his mother, "This is the gift I bought for you from the provincial capital. How about it, your son should be filial."
Gao's father opened the box and found it a belt. When he saw it, it was priced at 218 yuan. He asked in surprise: "Is this price true or false?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "You can buy fake products for your dad, and the real price of Seven Wolves."
"Prodigal son." Gao's father carefully put the belt into the box, "What are you doing when buying such an expensive belt? I cut the cowhide belt on the street. It has not broken for several years, and it is still tied differently."
"That can be the same, it looks like a terrible person."
Gao’s mother’s gift was an old Fengxiang silver bracelet. It was inexpensive and the workmanship was very fine. Gao’s mother criticized her husband while looking at it.
Gao's father suddenly asked, "You really went to the provincial capital to compete? I only gave you 1,500 yuan. Why do you have the money to buy such expensive gifts for your mother and me?"
Gao Xiaodong said proudly: "Dad, don't always treat your son as a bad person, can you? Of course I went to the provincial capital and got a bonus and certificate for 1,000 yuan. This gift was bought with the bonus."
Gao Xiaodong took out the red national second-level athlete certificate and threw it on the table, "Look, this thing can add 20 points to the college entrance examination."
"Really?" Gao's father picked up the second-level certificate, read it word by word, and touched the steel seal. After confirming that it was true, he happily said to Gao's mother who came over to see the second-level certificate, "Okay, last time his uncle came, I said that Xiaodong is actually very smart and lazy. As long as he works hard, he will definitely have a future. So, the child is getting certificates and bonuses in the province. Can the kid from his uncle do it?"
Gao’s mother said: “Xiaodong, how long will it take to take the college entrance examination?”
Gao Xiaodong said: "There are less than two months left."
Gao’s mother said: “You must study hard and strive to get into a good university, so as to give your Gao family a sigh of relief.”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I came back to report good news to you. When I was playing football, I met a director. He helped me contact a university. The college entrance examination can be downgraded and admitted, and the score is very low. I can basically go to college after the college entrance examination."
"Really?"
"Don't lie to mom?"
Gao Xiaodong's parents asked excitedly.
Gao Xiaodong said aggrievedly: "Why don't you believe me? Of course it's true. Didn't you see a second-level athlete certificate? I'm going to the Sports University."
"How many books?"
"It's probably a second book."
"Okay, with your grades, the second-tier university is good."
Gao Xiaodong's parents don't understand the difference between a sports university and an ordinary university. They only know that they don't have to work or inherit their family business and sell seafood. They have a promising future. They are very happy.
Gao's mother was careful and said, "Why did the director help you like this? This is a big event for the rest of your life."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I helped them play games in the Sports Bureau. The results were good, so he promised to find me a college student."
Gao’s mother said: “Although you helped them play games, your college work is more important, you have to thank them.”
Gao Xiaodong said: "This time I went home, I just wanted to bring some seafood to him and the coach."
Although Gao's father was frugal and reluctant to eat or wear on weekdays, he was not stingy when he was time to spend money. He immediately said, "How much is seafood worth? Besides, Lucheng is much more prosperous than Yishan. Do you need to bring seafood from us? Let's do this? I'll prepare some local specialties for you, and you can bring them to the director."
Gao Xiaodong thought about it and felt that what his father said was reasonable, and said, "Okay, Dad, you prepare two, I'll bring one for the coach."
"Okay, do your class teacher, Teacher Chao, bring one?" Gao's father asked.
"No, no, no." Gao Xiaodong shook his head like a rattle, "What gift do you bring to him? I, the last student, even brought him a gift. Isn't this scolding him? Can he have the shame to accept it?"
Gao's father also felt it was reasonable, so he didn't say anything more.
That afternoon, Gao's father and mother closed their homes early and wanted to have a good meal with their son. She never thought that Gao Xiaodong could bear it when facing delicious food. She just ate a few spicy roosters, which surprised Gao's father and mother. They didn't know that Gao Xiaodong was coerced and tempted by the system, and they thought that his son had become so persevering because he grew up and became enlightened.
After staying at home for one night, the next morning, Gao Xiaodong returned to Lucheng with the wine, pheasants, rice, dried fruit and other local specialties prepared by his parents.
When he arrived in Lucheng, Gao Xiaodong first took local specialties to coach Wang Dong's house.
Wang Dong was very surprised and happy. He collected local specialties and kept Gao Xiaodong at home for dinner. Gao Xiaodong said he would go to Director Chu's house. Wang Dong saw that it was still early before lunch time, so he took Gao Xiaodong to find Director Chu.
After entering the door, Wang Dong smiled and said, "Teacher Chu, Gao Xiaodong is here to give you a gift."
Director Chu was practicing calligraphy in the study room. He ordered the nanny to go to make tea and said aloud: "Come to the study room, let me see what the fat man brought to me."
Gao Xiaodong moved local specialties into the study. Director Chu saw it and smiled and said, "There are so many rare things. I think if I accept them, it will almost constitute a bribe."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "If you don't accept it, it's the crime of attempted bribery."
Director Chu smiled and said, "There is also this crime, it seems that I have to take it."
After letting the two sit down, Director Chu said: "You played well in the school team's game and brought glory to our Lucheng sports world."
Wang Dong smiled and said, "The city team entered the top eight and the school team entered the top four. This is the first time to create the world."
Director Chu smiled and said, "This saves me a lot of effort. After all, it is not good to do things illegally. Now Xiaodong has obtained a Level 2 certificate with a dignified attitude, and the high-level exam has surprised me. If I had known that Xiaodong had such strength, I wouldn't have to call him in advance."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I can only perform as much as I want after you say hello, otherwise I don't know what the exam will be like."
Director Chu smiled and said, "You performed very well in high-level exams. Your score of 80 points, plus you scored in the top four in the provincial selection competition of the National High School League. You don't have to go to the physical education college, but the time for the single-recruitment exam has passed."
Gao Xiaodong said: "It doesn't matter, the physical education college is very good, I'm very content."
Director Chu said: "Your child has a good mentality. In fact, college is just a stepping stone. How to go about the future depends on yourself. Even if you go to the second-tier university, you may not have a chance to make a comeback."
Gao Xiaodong said, "I remember it, thank you Director Chu for your teaching." He turned around and told Wang Dong again: "There are also the coach's teachings."
Wang Dongdao: "You kid is quite conscientious. Teacher Chu has put a lot of effort into you. He has never violated the principles of his son back then."
Director Chu said: "Isn't it against the principles now? A university should be admitted to an outstanding talent like Xiaodong."
While talking, the nanny said that the meal was ready. Director Chu looked at the watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go to have a meal."
Wang Dongdao: "Teacher, is Moutai still there?"
Director Chu said: "You won't give up until you drink all my Moutai."
Wang Dongdao: "I remember you have a box."
Director Chu said: "This time I only drink one bottle, and Xiaodong also has one."
Gao Xiaodong pretended to say, "I can't drink."
Director Chu said: "Then you have some beer."
I was so dizzy that I didn’t persuade me anymore. Gao Xiaodong really wanted to slap himself. Why are you humble? There is no chance to drink Moutai.
Wang Dong looked at Gao Xiaodong with a bitter look and couldn't help laughing.
