Adoption brings disaster
Chapter 174
Having said that, I came back very quickly and without any discomfort at all. However, I regretted it the next day after I came back.
It’s not that the cramped rental house makes me uncomfortable, nor that the food with various additives is unhealthy, nor that the noisy city makes my head hurt, but that in order to enable me to adapt to modern life again, the late emperor actually controlled my body and lived a routine life according to the pace of my previous graduate studies.
The first day I returned to the world was July 1st, and the sun was shining brightly.
If my body hadn't woken up on its own at six o'clock, changed my clothes before I knew it, ran five kilometers in the nearest park, and then bought some vegetables, and it was already half past eight when I got home, then I would definitely like this bright morning.
After a whole morning of tossing and turning, I felt desperate inside, but it wasn't over yet.
I simply took a shower, made some breakfast, and then my body led me to read for two hours. If knowledge must enter my brain in this way, I would rather be a mentally retarded person. However, this matter is not subject to my will, and I can only be forced to accept this valuable knowledge.
Of course it’s not all bad. At least now I have a great figure. I look thin when I’m dressed and have muscles when I’m undressed.
I was admiring my figure in the bathroom, and didn’t think carefully about how I got such a good figure. I knew it in the afternoon because my body dragged me to the gym for another two hours.
This healthy and inspiring routine should end after the fitness routine.
But at night, my body cleaned the room thoroughly again. After finishing all this, I finally took out my mobile phone and played two games. At ten o'clock, my body deeply realized that it was an orphan. I didn't care about my teammates and turned off the phone to go to sleep. I was so angry that I wanted to strangle myself.
If this kind of schedule only lasted one day, it would be fine, but I didn't expect it to last for more than a month. It was not until the last week of August that I regained control of my body and could move freely.
As soon as I was able to move freely, I immediately started to stay up late and eat and wait for death in revenge.
However, this good life did not last for a few days. The school notified us to go back to work. I dragged my tired body and couldn't help but miss the good days of being a father.
It's not that I haven't thought that my father was just a dream, but the foreign Yangyu Stone on my neck is real. And for some reason, it's hanging tightly on my neck. There were several times when I wanted to take it off to take a closer look, but I couldn't get it off. It's really strange.
According to the time in this world, I was away not that long, and the school has not actually changed much. But I did stay in the last world for more than 20 years, and I can't remember many people and many things in this school.
I was wondering if my confused look when I met my colleagues would make them think I was arrogant because of my graduate studies.
But it seemed that there was no such worry, because everyone was gathered in twos and threes, talking excitedly about something, and didn't notice me at all. I was also happy and at ease, and walked towards my office stealthily.
In the office, Teacher Wang and Teacher Li were cleaning. They were quick and energetic and had almost finished.
I felt a little embarrassed to let two senior employees do the cleaning, so I hurried in, grabbed a towel, and started to do it together.
"Our graduate student Chen still remembers to come back." Teacher Wang threw the mop to the ground and said sarcastically.
I didn't know how I had offended her, but I didn't dare to say anything back, so I could only keep quiet and concentrate on cleaning.
"What kind of wife did you find in college?" Teacher Wang obviously didn't want to let me go, and continued, "Why don't you bring her here for us to see, and see how much better she is than Xiaotao."
"Okay, stop talking. It's already done. Why bother talking about this?" Teacher Li, feeling a bit upset, glanced at me and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you. I advised you to get married before going to graduate school, but you refused. Now look, Xiaotao wants to marry that damn Brother Hong."
After hearing this, I felt dizzy, but I managed to keep myself steady, pretending nothing happened, and cleaned the place diligently.
Before Teacher Wang could say anything more, a man rushed in. It was Teacher Zeng from the Academic Affairs Office. I didn't have much contact with him, but he was a very nice person.
He saw me cleaning and pulled me out, saying, "What are you cleaning now? You can't do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The car that Brother Hong arranged to pick us up has arrived, and the only ones missing are you guys. Let's go, hurry up, don't miss Teacher Xiaotao's wedding."
"I won't go. I don't have any money to contribute. I feel embarrassed." I broke free from Teacher Zeng's hand and found an excuse to say so.
"You silly child, Brother Hong's family is well off, why would they need your contribution?" Teacher Zeng took my hand again and said excitedly, "Xiao Tao is a steady girl. You don't know how rich Brother Hong's family is. Xiao Tao actually didn't tell us for so long. She's really patient."
I didn't want to know this, but Teacher Zeng didn't care whether I wanted to know or not. He just kept talking to himself proudly.
"Brother Hong is really considerate. Not only did he not ask for our share of the money, he also prepared a huge return gift for us." Teacher Zeng turned and held up two fingers towards me. "There are two packs of good cigarettes and two bottles of good wine. These two things alone are worth a month's salary. I heard there are other return gifts as well. Such a good thing may not come across once in a lifetime. Hurry and don't miss it."
..........................................
Teacher Zeng pulled me and forced me to get in the car to attend Xiaotao's wedding.
The wedding was held in a holiday villa. Hongge's father was the richest man in the city. Although he was not very satisfied with Xiaotao, he could not resist Hongge's love for her, so he had no choice but to hold a grand wedding according to his only son's wishes.
The wedding was grand and the banquet was extravagant. Everyone had a happy smile on their face, but I had no appetite. I couldn't eat even after taking several bites and still felt it was unpalatable. I even missed the roast chicken in the small kitchen.
The wedding banquet was really bad and I had no appetite. The villa was very big, so I went out to stroll around under the pretext of going to the bathroom. I walked for a long time but still hadn't finished touring the villa. I was really tired, so I just sat on a chair by the roadside.
Seeing me sit down, the waiter in the distance hurriedly brought me a glass of warm water. I was surprised that the service in the villa was so good, and subconsciously said thank you.
The waiter smiled and, seeing my gentle attitude, struck up a conversation with me. He said, "This bride is so lucky! Our boss said he'll take good care of you teachers and won't let you get hurt. Otherwise, his daughter-in-law will be annoyed by you in the office."
I felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to respond, so I said nothing and just listened to the waiter chattering on.
.....................
"haven't seen you for a long time."
I looked up at the person in front of me, but for a moment I didn't recognize him, so I subconsciously said, "Hello."
The waiter knew her and said flatteringly, "Young Madam, you're feeling unwell after drinking. Come over and get some fresh air. I'll get you a cup of sobering tea. The young master asked the kitchen to prepare it early."
"Don't say that. I'm not some young lady." Xiao Tao said embarrassedly, "I do feel a little dizzy. I'm sorry to bother you."
The waiter was very happy to hear that, and left without even saying it was no trouble.
After the waiter left, Xiaotao and I were the only ones left. We didn't know what to say for a moment, but it was Xiaotao who broke the silence first, "What a nice weather today."
"Hahahaha, it's pretty good." I looked at the sun, tapped my cheap, sweat-soaked clothes, and said awkwardly, "It's just too hot."
"Black clothes absorb heat, so they're a bit hot to wear." Xiao Tao said, "You seem to like wearing black clothes. I remember you were wearing black clothes when I first met you."
"Hahahaha, really?" I said embarrassedly.
"Xiao Tao, he must be Teacher Chen." A tall and elegant man walked over from a distance. He walked up to her and extended his hand very naturally. "Hello, Teacher Chen. I'm Xiao Tao's husband. You can just call me Xiao Hong."
I felt like I was caught cheating, and I didn't know what to say. I could only hesitantly say, "Hello, hello, I went to graduate school before, so, so."
"Teacher Chen is really motivated. Xiaotao often tells me that Teacher Chen does an excellent job. I didn't expect that he is still so hardworking and has gone to university for further studies. He is truly a role model for contemporary teachers." Brother Hong was as warm and natural as a leader praising his subordinates.
"It's quite hot outside, Brother Hong, let's go in." Xiao Tao said.
"Look at my brain. I've been so excited about marrying you these past few days that I didn't notice. Damn it." Brother Hong hugged Xiao Tao affectionately, then continued to look at me and said, "Talent like Teacher Chen deserves a bigger stage for development. I heard that Chengxi Primary School will be recruiting teachers soon. Teacher Chen is definitely going to pass the exam now. I would like to congratulate Teacher Chen in advance on getting the position and making a difference in the people's education cause."
I definitely wouldn't have understood this before, but I've been a superior in that world for so long, and it was just a trick to give people some benefits to get them out of the way. I neither agreed nor disagreed, but just smiled and watched them leave in love.
As the saying goes, it is easier to get things done when you have someone in your power. Plus, I am good at taking exams and hardworking, so this position was definitely in my pocket. It was a pity that I didn't take the exam.
Later, Brother Hong recommended a few good ones to me. He was very sincere and recommended two or three positions that were obvious good opportunities. Unfortunately, I didn’t take the exams. I don’t know why, but I just didn’t go.
A year passed like this, Xiaotao became pregnant, and she never talked to me about work again.
Xiaotao took maternity leave early, but she was worried about the children in her class, so she wanted to entrust the children to me. The school originally agreed, but something unexpected happened when school started.
"Teacher Chen is busy right now." Teacher Zeng picked a time when no one was in the office and said with a smile, "I have something I want to tell you."
"I'm not busy, please." I put down my pen and moved the homework that had not been corrected aside.
"It's nothing important, but I think you may not be able to take over Teacher Xiaotao's class."
There are many capable teachers in the school, so it doesn't matter who takes over. It's not a big deal. I nodded to show that I understood. Teacher Zeng then said, "Also, you may have to take over a new class next semester."
I accept any arrangements made by the school as long as they are not too excessive.
Adjustments in teachers' work are also normal, so I nodded in agreement.
Teacher Zeng chatted with me for a few more words, then received a call and had to go back to work. Before he left, he looked at me hesitantly, but finally couldn't help but say, "Actually, this job of a teacher is just like that. Teacher Chen, you are so outstanding, you can do something you like."
This was a reminder to me, but unfortunately I was so exhausted from work and study that I didn't understand what he meant.
In the following month, I endured the most hardships in my life. First, the students did not study and made trouble in class every day. The parents were also unreasonable. They sent their children to class after 10 o'clock every day and blamed me for not being able to teach their children. There are countless things like this.
The school also tortured me every day on the grounds of poor student performance, and subjected me to all kinds of bad words and actions. In the end, the one who broke my heart was a parent who called the police and said that I had raped his daughter.
I don’t know how the matter was finally resolved. When Teacher Li and the others took me out of the police station, I had already become notorious, had no money on me, and was completely lifeless.
Teacher Li and Teacher Wang felt sorry for me and had no choice but to give me some money and let me leave the city with the money and slowly make a living.
I don’t know when the two of them left. I was walking on the street in a daze. When I saw a noodle shop, I remembered that I hadn’t eaten for several days. I walked into the noodle shop like a zombie and ordered a bowl of noodles.
The shop owner greeted me warmly at first, but when he found out it was me, he beat me out viciously. Passersby who saw me also beat and scolded me, and some even robbed me of the little money I had left.
Later, there was a beggar in the city. He would accept money if someone gave him it, but he never used it. He would not get angry if someone robbed his money, but would just jump and dance with a smile. He would stuff food directly into his mouth if someone gave him food. If no one gave him food, he would rummage through the trash can and eat whatever he found.
No one cares where a madman comes from, and no one cares where a madman goes.
But the madman himself knew that when he saw a gentle and intellectual woman playing happily with a child, his madness would be cured immediately.
He took out all his money, changed into a clean set of clothes, washed himself thoroughly, got a haircut, and left this world forever in a hotel that did not require an ID card.
The finale is complete.
