Chapter Seventeen: A Hundred Things Waiting to be Revived

  For Su Can and his family, the next step was to enter a busy period. Even on weekends, Su Can joined in to help. He placed a basin full of clear water at the entrance and helped wash the glass shelves, took stock of the goods, and re-planned the layout of the shelves, striving to make the entire store look spacious and tidy. Although it was already too late to do packaging and decoration at this stage, at least they could still give people a fresh feeling.

  Although it has become one of the four enterprises designated for municipal procurement, from any aspect, they are the thinnest among them.

  The storefront of his own home also became the place where his uncle Zeng Quanming and aunt Yin Shuying would take a stroll after dinner every day. Probably, Zeng Quanming did not expect that Su Licheng and Zeng Ke's performance at the bidding meeting would make him lose face, and even more unexpected was that they could still get this municipal designated procurement quota.

  So it was almost subconscious that they set the road where Su Can's house is located as a must-pass point every day, chatting with their parents, and the scolding in their tone also decreased. They cared about Su Can's study life, and their requirements for Su Li Cheng and Zeng Ke were no longer limited to Su Can's university tuition fees, but also raised high-sighted and far-reaching issues such as buying a house and marrying a daughter-in-law in the future.

  This made Su Can involuntarily curl up the corners of his mouth, as if for parents and elders, there were always goals and stages to worry about.

  Zeng Na, who was standing by the shelf looking at the goods, noticed Su Can's expression. Coincidentally, everyone was discussing this topic, and her mother, Zeng Ke, jokingly asked her older sister, who was also in the same school as Su Can, "Nana, do you think Su Can is popular among girls at school? Or does he have a crush on someone?"

  My elder uncle, Quan Ming, is obviously an old-fashioned person. When my mother suddenly brought up this topic, he muttered to himself, "At this stage, what's the point of talking about friends? Those are all illusions..."

  But it was clear that no one paid attention to him, and his aunt looked like she wanted to know the answer. Su Li smiled continuously.

  Su Can gazed at the crowd who were infinitely concerned about this topic, thinking to himself that he had become the focus of the family, which didn't seem like a good thing. It seemed that his previous way of being quietly forgotten in the corner during every family gathering was more suitable for him.

  But Lao Jie Zeng Na gave herself a condescending look, she is now in the third year of high school, from junior high to senior high in Municipal No. 1 Middle School for six years, Zeng Na naturally knows this circle very well.

  In her eyes, among so many people, there are indeed many celebrities, but there will never be a shadow of this younger brother. Although every day there are endless gossip messages, none of them have anything to do with Su Can. Although his talent in the middle school entrance exam was astonishing, City No. 1 Middle School is too big after all, and there are all kinds of people, excellent ones are everywhere, Su Can belongs to that kind of stone thrown into the ocean, soon he will blend in with the mud and stones at the bottom of the water, without causing any ripples.

  Moreover, in Zeng Na's eyes, Su Can was indeed not the type of boy that girls liked, especially those proud girls from Municipal No. 1 Middle School. Su Can wasn't tall and handsome like the basketball players, nor did he have excellent grades like the top two students in class, and he didn't have any special talents either. This made her involuntarily let out a snort of disdain, "Among so many excellent girls at Municipal No. 1 Middle School, even if he had someone he liked, it's impossible that he would tell you. However, whether or not there was anyone who liked him, at least for now, I don't think there is."

  After saying this, Zeng Na felt a little regretful and secretly glanced at Su Can. She found that his expression was normal, so she felt a bit relieved and wondered if she had been too arrogant.

  The whole family heard Zeng Na's words and knew that there was nothing more to say. Zeng Ke was a bit disappointed, and her aunt quickly mediated the situation, "It's just that nowadays when people socialize with friends, they're all superficial. Only after starting work will they consider marriage."

  Su Can nodded, and in those calm eyes, a hint of sadness flashed by.

  Life is like sitting on a high slope, facing the blood-red sunset, savoring an old wine. Any fleeting fantasy compared to that thick and heavy old wine would be as tasteless as plain water.

  YY and rebirth in movies, the protagonist must have a vast territory, with many beautiful women to pick from. The protagonist can also use a simple and naive mindset to imagine and construct a worldview that is beneficial to himself, brothers are loyal and devoted. Women will ignore the gap in status and faith, and marry themselves. All villains will eventually be eliminated. The world will definitely move from turmoil to stability, and the future will be bright and brilliant.

  However, real life is not like that. Even if he were to be reborn, this would not be a fairy tale. What he has to face is still the stark reality of life and this world wrapped in a dazzling exterior but actually full of strife and cruelty everywhere.

  Besides, people have already passed the age where they would see a beauty and think of spending their whole life with her, at least psychologically speaking.

  The real interaction between two people is not just a simple love affair, but also how to understand and manage love in the long years.

  Time has passed through this early autumn season.

  At the age of twenty, one thinks that time flies by quickly is a good thing. At thirty, one discovers that there isn't enough time to use. At forty, one hopes that time will pass more slowly and be more fulfilling. Fifty years old and standing tall, sixty years old and strong, but time flows like a knife, carving into the heart, causing pain.

  For those who walk in and out of the school gate under the bright sunlight and the fragrance of camphor trees every day, sitting in a bright classroom, listening to the humming of fans, or laughing and scolding on the playground during breaks, time is actually nothing.

  The only concept is probably why a 40-minute physical education class is so short, while a math class is so long, like knocking on wood, ticking away endlessly.

  Su Can found himself struggling, if he was hiding his strength before, but the strong momentum of Class 1 had emerged in this period of common starting line sprint. The top students in the class began to rise strongly, Tang Yu was still the unshakeable first person, every time a knowledge point was finished, the teacher would appropriately arrange difficult questions in the homework, and these difficult questions were all high-end questions of this type, for most people in Class 1 who will aim at domestic key universities, even Tsinghua University and Peking University, being able to do these questions is just basic.

  Su Can had some minor issues with these difficult problems, and the accuracy rate of some questions was less than 50%. If ranking is considered, he would be kicked to the back of the class.

  The Municipal No. 1 Middle School is a national key middle school, and many people who come out of here will be the elites in various fields at home as long as they maintain their excellence in the future.

  Although being ranked in the teens in a class of over a thousand students may not be shameful, Su Can's frustration stems from his rebirth, using his future wisdom to tackle current problems.

  Moreover, they are in the middle of their grade level, which can be seen from the daily worries and concerns of their class teacher, Xiao Rihua. The excellent rate of the class directly affects his annual salary and title evaluation, so how can he not put all his energy into standardizing the class order and digging deep into the students' learning abilities?

  Su Can understood that he had learned too many things, his learning ability should be above his peers, but because he was involved in too many things, he was not the Count of Monte Cristo locked up in Chateau d'If, who could master everything from astronomy to geography, history and literature. Although he wanted to become such a person, only a few people had that kind of great ability.

  But after all, the Count of Monte Cristo was imprisoned in If Castle for 14 years and had a famous teacher to guide him, so he mastered various subjects. He had time to turn around, but Su Can only returned to life for half a year and wanted to master everything, which is really ridiculous.

  Su Can, who had fallen into a dilemma, came to realize the problems he was facing at this stage. He gradually reduced the time spent borrowing books from his uncle's house and slowed down his study of various books, shifting his focus to books on test preparation, after all, this was the most critical thing for him at this stage.

  No matter how you want to take off in the future, but at this stage, everything needs to be restored.

  As the days go by, Municipal No. 1 Middle School seems to always have a moment that makes people stop and take a deep breath, another shocking event in the grade, following Su Can's confession incident, has stirred up **.

  Tang Yu had a public admirer, and this admirer was naturally a celebrity in Municipal No. 1 Middle School.

  In the process of rushing to the top of the list, I hope brothers will support us more. We are just a small group at the starting point, but we are still growing continuously!
