"That's right. We can achieve today's results thanks to you two, the student council member and the class monitor. Otherwise, how could we listen to English tapes every morning? People in the next class envy us! They even asked me if they could come over and listen with us!"
"The student council has helped us so much, we definitely can't let them pay this time. We should all chip in some money to treat them to a meal!"
Tian Tian was actually quite happy when she heard what they said, but she was also a little embarrassed. "Alright, alright, stop flattering me. I told you a lot of study methods, but you have to be willing to learn. You got such good grades this time because of your hard work. You don't have to treat me to a meal. I'll just take advantage of you and have a meal with the monitor."
Although most of the classmates came from good families, they were also very careful with their money at that time. They all still relied on school scholarships to live, and they only had 27 kilograms of food coupons a month. Some of them who had a bigger appetite did not even have enough to feed themselves, so how could they have extra food coupons to treat Tian Tian to a meal?
"As for what you said about performance, I have to encourage you. You should continue to maintain this good grade at the end of the semester, or even better than this grade. Then I will look around to see if there are other English tapes. If there are, I will bring them to you in the morning." Tian Tian said.
After the exam, she went to see Gu Xingshu, who specifically told her that he had found a few more sets of tapes for her, but they had not been returned yet, so Tian Tian should go to him to get the tapes when she had time.
During this period, Gu Xingshu gave Tian Tian several tapes, which Tian Tian took to school for everyone to listen to.
Everyone got even more excited when they heard this. "That's great. This provides both physical and spiritual food. We can be without anyone in our class, but the class monitor and the student council member are absolutely indispensable."
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Tian Tian was also laughing as she listened. She really liked her current classmates and the atmosphere in the class.
"But there is one thing I must make clear in advance! I may not be able to get the tapes. You all know how hard it is to get English tapes nowadays. You are not allowed to be unhappy if I can't get them!" I was happy, but I still had to say the ugly truth up front.
"No! We all know how difficult it is to get tapes. It's normal that you can't get it!" Everyone expressed their understanding.
The main reason is that they know that if Tian Tian doesn’t give them the tape to listen to, it means she really hasn’t got it. Before, Tian Tian would take out her tapes and let them listen to them.
Xiang Baichuan is a very trustworthy man and also a very proactive person. Since he had promised to treat everyone in the class to a meal, he immediately went to the state-owned restaurant and booked two private rooms. In the evening, I took the class out to dinner.
Worried that some people might be embarrassed to order food, Xiang Baichuan ordered food for two tables himself, including several main dishes. Since all the dishes had been ordered, he couldn't say he wouldn't eat them, otherwise they would all be wasted. So everyone put aside their worries and had a great meal.
At this time, everyone was still relatively innocent and thought of themselves as students. They did not drink or smoke while eating. Instead, they finished their meal while chatting and laughing, and then packed up the unfinished food. Then they formed a big group and walked to school in a noisy manner.
"I had such a delicious meal tonight! I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time!" Liang Dongqing said, touching his stomach.
Tonight, Xiang Baichuan was afraid that she wouldn't have enough food, so she ordered a lot of dishes, half of which were hard dishes. She had been eating in the cafeteria recently and hadn't eaten such a rich meal of meat for a long time.
"At least you have eaten it before. I have never eaten such delicious food." Zhao Chunxian was also full tonight.
She only had steamed buns and pickles at home and had no chance to eat so many different kinds of dishes.
Even meat is rarely eaten in their family.
Although the brigade would distribute pork at the end of each year, Zhao Chunxian's family had already spent all their money on supporting Zhao Chunxian's schooling, so they naturally would not use their work points to exchange for pork. Even if they did, it would only be a small piece that could be cooked and eaten for several meals. Zhao Chunxian had even forgotten what meat tasted like.
Zhao Chunxian ate a little more during the meal. Now her stomach was full, but she felt a little uncomfortable. At home, she could only eat pork once every few years, but here it was nothing. They even criticized whether the pork was cooked well or not.
When Zhao Chunxian eats pork during the Chinese New Year, she doesn't care about the taste. Even if it is simply boiled in plain water, it is still the ultimate delicacy in their eyes.
When Zhao Chunxian thought of the table full of dishes and Xiang Baichuan paying the bill, she didn't feel any pain at all. However, at her family's home, she had to think carefully about every penny spent. She felt that the gap between people was so huge that she couldn't even feel jealous.
"I must study hard, and let my parents live like this in the future, without having to feel bad about spending money, and having access to as much chicken, duck, fish and meat as they want!" Zhao Chunxian thought with a determined look in her eyes.
She is still young and has been admitted to university. There are endless possibilities for her in the future. As long as she is willing to work hard and endure hardships, she will be able to live a good life once she returns home.
In other words, Tian Tian didn’t know what Zhao Chunxian was thinking. If Tian Tian had known earlier, she would definitely have complained.
In other words, in this era, hard work and studying hard in college will be useful.
In her previous life, your efforts were sometimes not as important as having good connections. In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort in high school and was among the top students in high school, but she still had a hard time studying in college.
Even after graduating from college, it was very difficult for someone like her to find a job without any connections.
It can be said that it is very difficult for ordinary people to turn their lives around and cross the class.
Fortunately, nowadays, after graduating from university, you are guaranteed a job with very good benefits. If you work hard and are willing to endure hardships now, you can basically be considered middle class by the time Tian Tian goes to university in her previous life.
However, there are also people who work hard but get no reward at this time. Isn’t this the case with farmers? They work hard all year round, but in the end they only get a little money in return.
Just like the meal that Xiang Baichuan invited them to today, the Tian family probably wouldn't be able to afford it even if they worked hard for many years.
The food coupons spent on meals alone were enough for Tian Tian to eat for several months, and there were more than 30 people in the class.
