Siheyuan: The Cellar

Chapter 14: The Law of Empathy

After a day of rest, I naturally need to go to school today.

After all, according to TOU experts of later generations, the first year of high school is the most important stage in life!

With his grades, since he did not choose to go to a technical secondary school at that time, he naturally aimed for Jixian University or Wudaokou Vocational School.

But now!

Chen Guoliang had a new idea.

If you want to know the best military equipment technology, go to Huining Military Industry and look for Wang Yong.

Congratulations on getting rich, you cheat your subordinates and stand still when facing your superiors.

If you follow Wang Yong, you will go hungry nine times out of three days. But your future is bright.

Dongzhimen No. 55 Middle School.

The school is actually not far from the courtyard. Along the way, Chen Guoliang saw several young men carrying green cross-body bags.

These are children of workers from nearby courtyards.

Those who can go to high school nowadays either have very good grades and can get into university, or have average grades and cannot get into technical secondary school, but their families have some money.

The technical secondary schools at that time were quite different from those in later generations. They were not the kind where you could go home when it rained or eat with chopsticks.

At that time, technical secondary school students were basically a group of poor children with good grades. Compared with universities, the most obvious advantage was that they guaranteed job placement and graduates were technicians.

Compared to going to college after high school, you can eat less for three years and earn more for three years. It is also quite stable and basically does not cross provinces. At that time, many people with rural household registration, in addition to joining the army and being promoted, could only rely on this path to become city dwellers. The competition was quite fierce.

This is the case with the No. 55 Middle School where Chen Guoliang is currently studying. Except for a few exceptions, almost all the students in the entire school failed to get into technical secondary school but came from relatively good families, so they went to high school.

I am preparing for this last chance. Even if I fail, it is not a big problem. Although the content of high school education is not as good as that of technical secondary school, it is enough in this era. We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat.

In fact, with Chen Guoliang's knowledge reserves, he was fully capable of taking the college entrance examination of this era, except for some problems with Russian.

Another important reason why he has to go to school is his classmates.

As mentioned before, in this era, poor families generally cannot afford high school. Most people fail to pass the entrance exam to technical secondary school and just try to find a job.

I don't have that much money to give you.

Those who have the opportunity to continue their studies generally come from families that are not too bad.

This is a hot era, a turbulent era. In order to gain a foothold here, in addition to knowledge, connections are equally important.

The students at No. 55 Middle School all have one thing in common, that is, they were born and raised in Beijing, and most of their families have some power or money.

Society is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

This is also a point that the original owner had neglected before. He turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused only on studying mathematics, physics and chemistry.

This also led to the original owner having almost no friends in the courtyard. In addition, he was a person who didn't want to suffer any loss and was very harsh in his words.

This led to him having no friends in the school or the hospital, but enemies everywhere. Even dogs wanted to kick him.

What Chen Guoliang has to do now is to change this situation, even though he is beating these people for fun.

But you can't beat them all at once.

After all, humans are social animals, and it is difficult for a person to survive in society.

While he was daydreaming, Chen Guoliang had already arrived at the gate of No. 55 Middle School.

Following the route I remembered, I successfully found my class, opened my school bag, and laid out the things I would need for class.

Chen Guoliang started to feel dazed again, holding his head with one hand.

He really didn't expect that he would have to go back to high school even though he was almost 30 years old. This feeling was very strange.

"Hey, Chen Guoliang. Have you finished your homework? Lend it to me?"

Chen Guoliang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the young man who spoke was named Liu Fei, and as his name suggested, he really looked a bit chubby.

He is one of the few people Chen Guoliang knows who has never beaten up his classmates.

It’s not that this guy is a good person.

The main reason is that this kid, like Chen Guoliang, is also someone who has been bullied all year round.

Chen Guoliang was disliked because he had excellent grades, was not sociable, and had a foul mouth.

The reason why Liu Fei was bullied was much simpler, it was purely because of his fat body.

Although the students at No. 55 Middle School all come from relatively well-off families, they can only barely afford to eat enough.

They have never seen a heavyweight like Liu Fei!

Isn't he an outlier among a group of skinny guys? If not him, who else can we bully?

As for being asked about copying homework, the previous Chen Guoliang would definitely refuse directly, and even educate the other party earnestly.

But for Chen Guoliang now? The way of handling it will definitely not be the same as before.

Making friends! The most important thing is not only to be willing to share, but also to empathize with your friends.

In response to Liu Fei's reasonable request, Chen Guoliang told the other party directly that he had not written it either.

Isn't this empathy?

They all became poor people who didn't do their homework and were about to face the teacher's storm.

Wasn’t the foundation of this friendship established in an instant?

Thinking of this, Chen Guoliang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his own wit.

When students in the classroom heard Chen Guoliang say that he had not done his homework, some were surprised while others were disdainful.

They were surprised that Chen Guoliang actually said that he didn't do his homework. You know, Chen Guoliang would never do such cool things as not doing his homework.

Those who are disdainful are disdainful of Chen Guoliang's words. You should know that Chen Guoliang used to be a person who not only would not let you copy his homework, but would also lecture you.

But now, he has changed and started lying for such a small thing.

When they started collecting homework for each subject, everyone realized that Chen Guoliang really hadn't done his homework.

Now even the students who had been disdainful before started to look strange.

Is a good student beginning to degenerate?

When the class started, the teacher was simple. The first thing he did was to ask the students who hadn't handed in their homework to stand at the back of the classroom and listen.

Chen Guoliang took the lead in charging, holding a book and a pen and running to the back.

But deep down I was thinking with disdain, my friends, please empathize with me, my little brothers.

In fact, he really didn't do this on purpose.

Mainly because he had just come here yesterday and didn't even know his own situation. Then he went through a full-school meeting full of martial virtues and had completely forgotten about doing his homework.

However, there is always a difference between plans and reality.

Just as a few people in the back row looked expectant.

However, the teacher called Chen Guoliang directly.

"Guoliang, where are you going?"

Chen Guoliang turned his head and said in confusion: "Teacher, I forgot to do my homework. Go stand in the back row and listen!"

After saying that, Chen Guoliang had just walked to the end, nodded to the three giants standing in the back row, and then stood aside in an orderly manner.

"Oh, I see! If you have any problems at home, remember to tell the teacher. Forget it this time. Go back to your seat and listen!"

Chen Guoliang:?

The big three in the back row: ? ?

Looking at the three giants in the back row, his eyes were about to spit fire.

Chen Guoliang sighed: Well, empathy failed. Let's make friends through martial arts!
