Chapter 46 Can you cook?

Chapter 46 Can you cook?

When Li Ye shouted at several students to leave in front of Teacher Luo and said that he would not hold self-study classes in the classroom in the future, Xia Yue and others thought they had heard it wrong.

After all, looking at Li Ye's ferocious attitude just now, it didn't look like he was going to give up.

[Does this count as a victory for us? ]

Looking at the backs of Li Ye and others leaving, Xia Yue couldn't help feeling the joy of "raising her head high".

In fact, Xia Yue used to be a good student who studied hard. Girls nowadays all know how precious learning opportunities are. In order to escape the monotonous fate, they all study very hard.

But whenever she saw Li Ye, the anger in her heart would bubble up and she couldn't suppress it no matter how hard she tried.

Is it because of Lu Jingyao?

Xia Yue herself couldn't explain it clearly.

"Finally, we got these bad apples out."

"That's right. I can finally have some peace and quiet from now on. Ever since Li Ye came to our class, we haven't had any peace."

"They shouldn't be in our first shift. They should be in the second and third shifts."

“.”

Jin Shengli and others were also very happy. In their opinion, it was the whole class, under the leadership of him and Xia Yue, that defeated a small group of heretics who destroyed the unity of the class and curbed the sinister intention of Li Ye and others to drag down the collective performance of the class.

So after Li Ye and others walked a little further away, Jin Shengli led a few classmates to clap excitedly and wave their fists to symbolize victory.

. .

Li Ye led seven people and had just walked across the playground when faint applause came from behind them.

He didn't care, but several classmates who walked with him were already confused and worried, and now they felt even more uneasy when they heard the applause.

"Li Ye, is it bad for us to do this?"

The person who spoke was Han Xia, a girl who was transferred from Class 2 to Class 1 together with Hu Man and Li Ye. She was also one of the people who firmly defended Li Ye during the conflict with Xia Yue and others some time ago.

Li Ye smiled and said, "What do you think is wrong?"

Han Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "We did nothing wrong, so why should we run away? If we continue like this, others will laugh at us, and we will really become people who don't unite with our classmates."

Li Ye glanced at Han Xia and said seriously: "Han Xia, remember one thing, we only unite with those who are worthy of unity."

"People worth uniting with?" Han Xia was a little stunned and whispered, "Just the few of us? Isn't that too few?"

"Seven people are not a small number," Li Ye said affirmatively. "You may now think that we are a minority who have left the organization and the group.

But you will know later on how luxurious and happy it would be if a person really had seven close friends in his life."

"Haha, Li Ye, what you said is really amazing."

After hearing what Li Ye said, Han Xia and the others felt less uneasy and their hesitant steps became lighter.

But there was another female classmate who followed silently at the end with her head down, more than ten meters away from Li Yetang.

Han Xia turned around and shouted, "Jiang Xiaoyan, hurry up, don't waste time."

The girl looked up at Li Ye, said "Oh" softly, and slightly quickened her pace.

Like Li Dayong and Fu Yingjie, Jiang Xiaoyan was originally a top student in the repeater class, but she had always been a marginal figure in the class.

After Hu Man became the new class monitor, he noticed this little-known girl and successfully "hooked up" her with just a few papers.

Then, a few people did and discussed exercises with each other, and gradually they found that they got along very well.

Especially after the last test, Jiang Xiaoyan firmly believed that Li Ye was not Huang Shiren at all, but a capable and kind student.

When Xia Yue was arguing with Li Ye one day, Jiang Xiaoyan, who was as weak as a dough, actually started quarreling with Xia Yue and others. Although she was scolded and cried by Xia Yue in the end, she continued to cry and quarrel.

So, she was selected by Li Ye as one of the seven.

It's just that Jiang Xiaoyan was born timid. Today, when Li Ye called her to leave the classroom and choose another place to study, she was very hesitant and panicked. In the end, perhaps she realized that she would be targeted by Xia Yue and others if she stayed in the classroom, so she lowered her head and followed Li Ye.

A dull and honest student would feel nervous if he suddenly left school.

People like Fu Yingjie, Hu Man, Han Xia and others were also somewhat nervous and hesitant.

Perhaps Wen Leyu was the only one who followed Li Ye without thinking.

She didn't ask anything at the time. As soon as Li Ye said that he had to find a place to study by himself, she immediately started packing her schoolbag and was the first one to rush out of the classroom, walking faster and more determinedly than Li Ye.

The little girl is very smart!

[You bunch of idiots, how could you know how good Li Ye is? ]

. . .

In the 1980s, the grain system was definitely a very powerful unit. Various grain and oil stores and grain points supported countless state-owned employees who looked down on others.

The Erliangdian is such a grain and oil supply point. It is not very busy at ordinary times, but when the monthly plan comes out, urban residents in half of the county will take their "supply books" to buy low-priced rice, flour, oil and salt, and then go to the vegetable company to buy vegetables, purchasing daily necessities along the way.

Therefore, the street-facing facade of the Erliangdian is not very big, but the yard behind it is quite large. It not only has a large warehouse for storing grain, but also a small warehouse for storing scarce materials.

Li Ye took Wen Leyu, Hu Man and others out of the school gate and walked about a hundred meters, and came to the back door of the Second Grain Store. Before they could knock on the door, they heard a burst of "Woof woof woof" dog barking.

A golden-haired local dog was lying in the crack of the gate, issuing a vigilant threat to Li Ye and others, making the timid girls dare not approach.

But soon the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties kicked the yellow dog aside, then smiled at Li Ye.

"Xiao Ye, why did you come today? Didn't you say tomorrow?"

"It's okay, Uncle Huang. The house has been cleaned up anyway, so it doesn't matter if we do it a day earlier or later."

Li Ye led his classmates inside. He was not very familiar with this man. He only knew that his surname was Huang and he was the person in charge of the Second Grain Store.

After Li Zhongfa learned about Li Ye's helping others to set questions that day, he informed his subordinates and cleaned up a small warehouse in the nearby grain store for Li Ye to use as a study room.

Old Huang treated Li Ye very warmly and led Li Ye to a door with a cotton curtain.

"After Director Li made the arrangements, we rushed to clean it up, but the newly built wall is a little damp. I have already lit the stove and it will be completely dry tomorrow."

Lift the curtain, push the door, and enter the room.

A new wall was built in the middle of the small warehouse, dividing it into two rooms, one large and one small. There were two stoves inside and outside, with the charcoal fire roaring.

A strong warmth immediately enveloped Hu Man and others who were laughing.

"Oh my, this is so comfortable."

Li Dayong was the first to shout out. After enduring so many days in the cold classrooms and dormitories, he suddenly came to such a place. It must be extremely comfortable.

Several girls were also very happy.

No matter how poor a girl is, she loves beauty. In the middle of winter, who would want a pair of delicate hands to be frozen into carrots, or even have a few cuts on them?

Li Ye was also quite satisfied. Old Huang was a smart man. There was even a small kang in the separated room. Li Ye immediately decided to stay here at night.

"Thank you so much, Uncle Huang, but a few friends will come over to deliver some things later, so please tie up the dog first."

"Okay, okay, I'll go and tie it up right away. The nature of our unit is different. We really can't do without someone to listen for noise at night. Please understand."

Just as Lao Huang was about to go out to tie up the dog, he heard the dog outside barking again.

Jin Peng and Hao Jian dragged the cart into the yard.

"Come on, students, help unload the car!"

Li Ye asked Li Dayong and others to unload the car, which contained a large number of pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches.

Hu Man asked curiously: "Li Ye, are you planning to cook here?"

Li Ye said: "Yes, we have to speed up our study progress in the future. We have to queue up in the school cafeteria, so it's good to save a little time. A meal costs ten cents, so you can eat as much as you want."

"Great! You are a rich man and you still charge money! We thought we were following you to eat the rich man's food."

Han Xia is lively and made a joke to Li Ye.

Of course everyone has to pay. These days, everyone is eager to pick up any penny dropped on the street. Who would intentionally take advantage of others?

However, Li Ye noticed that Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes with both hands, and she was obviously a little uncomfortable.

Li Ye knew the reason.

Speaking of Jiang Xiaoyan, Li Ye felt that she was comparable to Sun Shaoping.

He would carry food from home every month and exchange it for meal tickets at the school cafeteria. When it was time to eat, he would always wait until no one else was around and be the last one to go.

I spent three cents on a meal ticket to buy a steamed bun, and then filled my stomach with pickles and boiled water brought from home.

Moreover, by the end of the month, the pickles may have been eaten up, and if you go too late, there may even be no hot water left, so you can only pull it dry.

Poor and stubborn, but kind-hearted, Li Ye thinks she is a very good girl.

"Bang~"

“There are spare ribs to eat!”

Jin Peng carried half a saddle of pork ribs off the cart and threw it on the table next to the stove, making a group of students salivate.

"Well, usually we need someone to cook, which is time-consuming and laborious. We don't pay them, but meals are definitely free."

Li Ye pointed at Jiang Xiaoyan and asked, "Pork ribs stewed with radish, Jiang Xiaoyan, can you make it?"

"Oh I will."

Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head, her eyes sparkling and full of joy, very beautiful.
