Chapter 111 Group fight
Shi Qiu Shui was seriously envious of Cao Juan. She also wanted to be able to eat such delicious stinky tofu every day like Cao Juan.
Shi Qiu Shui's envy quickly turned into surprise after Cao Juan told him that he could come to her anytime he wanted to eat stinky tofu.
Shi Qiushui's eyes widened into a cat's as he said in surprise, "Really? I can really come to see you anytime, right?"
Cao Juan: “Of course!”
Shi Qiushui excitedly threw himself on Cao Juan and said excitedly, "Wow, Cao Juan, you're so easy to mess with. Woo woo woo, why are you so nice?"
Cao Juan blushed and said embarrassedly, "No."
Shi Qiushui: "No, you are very good, very good!"
She put her arm around Cao Juan's neck and said, "I declare that from today on, Cao Juan, you are my good friend, Shi Qiushui!"
Although Cao Juan felt a little embarrassed, she nodded gently and did not deny what Shi Qiu Shui's good friend said.
After eating the super delicious stinky tofu and making a new friend, Shi Qiu Shui happily went home with Shi Yue.
The next day, Shi Qiushui arrived at school and saw Cao Juan getting some water in the corridor. He immediately trotted over and said, "Good morning, Cao Juan!"
Cao Juan smiled and said, "Good morning, Xiaoqiu."
Shi Qiushui: "Cao Juan, is your mother still setting up her stall tonight? I want to eat your mother's stinky tofu. Woohoo, it's so delicious! I even dreamed about stinky tofu last night!"
Cao Juan: "Yes, my mother sets up a stall in front of the cinema every night."
Shi Qiushui: "Then I'll go find your mom to sell stinky tofu tonight, and I want a big portion this time! No, that's not right, I want two portions!"
Cao Juan smiled and said, "You don't need to order two, just one will be enough. I'll ask my mother to pack more for you."
Shi Qiushui: "Okay!"
Her eyes sparkled as she hugged Cao Juan's arm and said coquettishly, "Cao Juan, you're so nice~"
Xiao Taozi, who had come in with Shi Qiushui, was bewildered by the scene. When had Xiaoqiu become so close to Cao Juan? And what about the stinky tofu?
She asked confusedly: "Xiao Qiu, what are you talking about?"
Shi Qiushui: "I'm talking about the stinky tofu made by Cao Juan's mother. Little Taozi, you don't know, but the stinky tofu made by Cao Juan's mother is super, super delicious!"
Little Taozi pouted and said, "Xiaoqiu, how did you know that the stinky tofu made by Cao Juan's mother is delicious?"
She was a little jealous. She and Shi Qiushui were clearly best friends, but after just one night apart, Shi Qiushui was already hiding his secret with Cao Juan from her! Shi Qiushui even went to Cao Juan's house and ate the food Cao Juan's mother cooked! If this continued, her title of "Shi Qiushui's best friend" would be replaced by Cao Juan!
Shi Qiu Shui realized belatedly that Xiao Taozi seemed jealous, so she quickly explained.
"Here's what happened. Yesterday, I went to the cinema with my dad. At the entrance, I smelled a delicious aroma of stinky tofu. I went over and found out that the auntie making the stinky tofu was Cao Juan's mother!"
Xiao Taozi was stunned for a moment, then his expression improved a lot.
She thought Shi Qiu Shui went to Cao Juan's house to eat stinky tofu. She was also wondering when Shi Qiu Shui had such a good relationship with Cao Juan that he even went to Cao Juan's house. You know, Shi Qiu Shui had never even been to her house!
Now that she knew Shi Qiu Shui hadn't gone to Cao Juan's house either, she wasn't jealous anymore.
Little Taozi blinked her eyes and became curious. She asked, "Is the stinky tofu made by Cao Juan's mother really that delicious?"
Shi Qiushui nodded vigorously: "Yes! It's really delicious!"
She smacked her lips and said with aftertaste, "Mother Cao Juan's stinky tofu is fried until crispy on the outside, but the tofu inside is soft, tender, and smooth. It feels like it slides down your throat with just a gentle bite. The seasoning for the stinky tofu is also very, very delicious. The chili pepper is fragrant, not particularly spicy, but very delicious. The seasoning also contains... well, I can't really tell what the seasoning is, but it's just very delicious!"
Little Taozi couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Shi Qiushui made her greedy.
Shi Qiushui: "Aunt Cao's fried potatoes are also delicious, but Aunt Cao doesn't seem to sell fried potatoes anymore. The one I had yesterday was Aunt Cao's treat for me. The fried potatoes are also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but potatoes taste different from tofu. Potatoes are powdery, but also fragrant. I really like them..."
"stop!"
Xiao Taozi, whose mouth was already filled with saliva, could not bear it any longer and interrupted Shi Qiu Shui. If Shi Qiu Shui continued, she would be envious to death.
Shi Qiu Shui's sharing was interrupted, and she still felt a little unsatisfied. She blinked and looked at Xiao Taozi.
Little Taozi: "Where is Cao Juan's mom setting up her stall? I want her to take me to eat stinky tofu today too!"
Because she unexpectedly attracted new customers to her family business, Cao Juan's face flushed slightly, as if she was excited but also embarrassed.
But she still told Xiao Taozi where her mother's stall was, "My mother sets up the stall right in front of the cinema."
Shi Qiushui added: "It's the cinema next to the department store!"
Cao Juan nodded. "Yes, it's in front of the cinema next to the department store. When you get there, you'll find my mom's stall."
Shi Qiushui: "If you can't find it, just smell it! Aunt Cao's stinky tofu smells amazing, you can find it by following the scent!"
Little Taozi: "Okay! I'll let my mom take me to the party tonight!"
"Me, me, me, and me, I want to eat stinky tofu too!"
When Shi Qiu Shui and the other two heard the sound, they turned around and found that Xiao Pang had come over at some point.
Xiaopang swallowed and said, "Cao Juan, I also want to eat the stinky tofu your mother makes. Is that possible?"
Cao Juan: "Sure! You all can come. If you come to eat stinky tofu, I'll ask my mom to fill more for you!"
Xiaopang immediately said happily: "Thank you, Cao Juan!"
Xiao Taozi said happily: "If Xiaopang is going too, then we might as well go together after school!"
Shi Qiushui thought about it and nodded: "Okay!"
Xiao Taozi looked at Xiao Pang and asked, "What about you? Do you want to go with us?"
Xiaopang: "Let's go together! Let's go together!"
He usually goes home by himself after school, and it's more convenient for him to go together without his parents.
Little Taozi clapped his hands and cheered, saying, "Great! If you come with us, then we'll have the Four Musketeers together again... Oh, no, that's not right."
She counted on her fingers and said, "Xiaopang, Xiaoqiu, and me. There are only three of us. We are still missing Zhao Ran. Only then will we have all four swordsmen!"
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Little Taozi was still muttering Zhao Ran's name the previous second, and the next second Zhao Ran came over with his schoolbag on his back.
Shi Qiushui waved at him: "Zhao Ran!"
Zhao Ran came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Qiushui: "Zhao Ran, the three of us are going to Cao Juan's mother's stinky tofu stall to eat stinky tofu today. You are the only one missing. Do you want to go?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "Go."
Although he was not very interested in stinky tofu, since Shi Qiu Shui called him, of course he had to go.
Shi Qiushui: "Great, then we're all here!"
"Boss, you are having a group activity, but you don't plan to call me?" Xiong Jie's faint voice came from the side.
Shi Qiushui was stunned, turned around and asked in surprise: "Xiong Jie? When did you come?"
Xiong Jie said sadly, "I came here very early, but you didn't notice me, boss."
"Uh..." Shi Qiushui rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "I didn't notice you, don't you know you made a sound?"
Xiong Jie said angrily: "Boss, you haven't explained to me yet. Are you not planning to call me for your group activities?!"
Shi Qiu Shui pursed her lips. It wasn't that she didn't want to call Xiong Jie on purpose, she just forgot about Xiong Jie again.
But she definitely couldn't admit this. After all, as a big sister, how could she forget about her little brother so easily?
"Ahem." She cleared her throat and said, "Who said that? Who said I didn't plan to call you? I was clearly going to call you!"
Xiong Jie: "Really?"
Shi Qiushui: "Of course it's true!"
Xiong Jie: "So what did you mean when you said everyone is here?"
Shi Qiushui: "I'm talking about the Four Swordsmen gathering together. It has nothing to do with you!"
Xiong Jie was as innocent as ever and quickly accepted Shi Qiu Shui's words.
He scratched his head and apologized to Shi Qiushui: "Well, Boss, I, I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I thought you deliberately didn't want to take me with you. I didn't expect that you didn't have time to call me..."
Shi Qiushui patted Xiong Jie's shoulder generously and said, "It's okay, you don't have to apologize to me. As the boss, you have to endure more than the average person."
Xiong Jie: "Woo woo woo, it's really not easy for you, Boss."
Seeing that Xiong Jie was about to cry and snot, Shi Qiu Shui quickly withdrew his hand.
She glanced at Xiong Jie with disdain and said, "Don't cry!"
Xiong Jie: "Huh?"
Shi Qiushui: "You have to remember, a man sheds blood and sweat, not tears. If you continue to be like this, crying at the slightest provocation, then when you get out in the future, don't tell others that you're hanging out with me. I can't afford to lose face!"
Xiong Jie held back his tears and said, "Okay, Boss!"
He took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes. His expression looked a little ferocious. Shi Qiu Shui took a look at him and turned away in disgust.
Shi Qiushui said to the rest of the group, "Okay, class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom."
"good!"
Everyone, including Xiong Jie who was holding back his tears, walked towards the classroom together. When they reached the door of Class One, Grade One and were about to reach Shi Qiu Shui's class, a little boy with a monkey face walked out of the class.
As soon as the little boy saw Cao Juan walking beside Shi Qiushui, he pinched his nose exaggeratedly and fanned his nose with his hand, saying, "Ah! It stinks so bad!"
When Cao Juan saw the little boy, she lowered her head and shrank to the side outside the corridor. After hearing what the little boy said, she did not look up, but Shi Qiu Shui could see clearly that her right hand was clenched into a fist.
Shi Qiushui tugged at Cao Juan's sleeve, wanting to ask what was going on. However, as soon as her hand touched Cao Juan, she subconsciously dodged it. After realizing what she had done, Cao Juan quickly explained, "Uh, Xiaoqiu, don't misunderstand me. I, I'm not..."
Her eyes were red and she bit her lips. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. In the end, she could only huddle and lower her head again.
After seeing Cao Juan's shrinking reaction, the monkey-faced man's movements became even more exaggerated. He leaned forward, pinched his nose, sniffed the air, and said, "Oh my, why does it suddenly stink so bad?"
Then, as if he had just discovered Cao Juan's presence, he exclaimed, "Ah! It's Cao Juan, the stinky tofu seller!"
He shouted loudly into the classroom: "Come and see, Cao Juan, the stinky tofu seller, is here! Stinky tofu Cao Juan is here with the stinky smell! Haha, stinky sister Cao Juan is here!"
He was laughing and jumping up and down, and the students in Class One heard the noise and curiously stuck their heads out to see what was going on.
Not only Class One, Grade 1, but all the classrooms in the entire first grade could hear the monkey-faced man's shouting. Although they didn't know what he meant, everyone was curious, so they all stuck their heads out.
Noticing so many people looking at him, the monkey-faced man became even more excited. He rushed to Cao Juan, pointed at her and said, "Look everyone, this is Stinky Sister Cao Juan. Her family sells stinky tofu, which is extremely stinky, just like stinky manure! She and her stinky tofu both smell like stinky manure!"
Seeing the monkey-faced man's words getting more and more outrageous, Shi Qiushui couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up, put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, monkey, what nonsense are you talking about!"
That monkey?
The monkey-faced man looked around blankly, but didn't see anyone else. So he pointed at himself and asked, "Are you calling me?"
Shi Qiushui: "Yes, I'm calling you. What nonsense are you talking about? What's the smell? How come we didn't smell it, but you did? If there's something wrong with your nose, go to the hospital yourself, don't try to attract attention here!"
With just one sentence from Shi Qiushui, the monkey-faced man was completely upset. However, the monkey-faced man was not upset because of Shi Qiushui's scolding, but because Shi Qiushui called him a monkey.
His face flushed red, and he looked at Shi Qiushui angrily and asked, "Do you have eyes? How do I look like a monkey?"
Shi Qiushui glanced up and down at the monkey-faced man and said, "You look like a monkey in every way. Your eyes, nose, and mouth are similar. Most importantly, your chin is exactly the same as a monkey's."
After saying that, she tilted her head and looked at the monkey-faced man strangely, as if to say, don’t you know that you look like a monkey?
After hearing this, the classmate of the monkey-faced man subconsciously turned his head to look at the monkey-faced man, and then said in surprise: "Hey, it's true, Chen Xin really looks like a monkey!"
"Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize it before, but his chin looks like a monkey's! It's exactly like the monkeys I saw at the zoo!"
"I've been wanting to say this before, Chen Xin really does look like a monkey. He even likes jumping up and down, just like a monkey!"
"Hey, do you think Chen Xin was a monkey in his previous life?"
In fact, the students present did not have much ill will towards Chen Xin. They just thought it was strange that Chen Xin looked like a monkey, so they started chattering about it.
Chen Xin, who was being discussed, didn't think so. The gazes from all directions made him feel like a monkey locked in a cage in a zoo for tourists to entertain themselves.
Monkey! It's that damn monkey again!
Chen Xin was furious. He glared and yelled, "What are you looking at? Close your eyes and don't look at me!"
Then, I don't know which classmate whispered, "It looks more like a monkey. When my dad and I go to the zoo, if we stare at a monkey for too long, the monkey will get angry and roar."
Chen Xin: "You are the one who looks like a monkey! I am not a monkey! I am not!"
His hysterical yelling was of no use; everyone was still looking at him as if he were a monkey.
Chen Xin was so angry that he was gasping for breath and looked at Shi Qiu Shui with resentment.
It’s all because of Shi Qiu Shui!
If she hadn't said she looked like a monkey, no one would have looked at her that way!
Chen Xin, who was filled with anger, forgot that the beginning of the matter was that Qiu Shui had confronted him because he had said something mean about Cao Juan. He also forgot that what he had said about Cao Juan just now was far more excessive than everyone saying that he looked like a monkey.
Or maybe he didn't forget, but deliberately ignored these two points.
In short, Chen Xin blamed everything on Shi Qiu Shui. Oh, no, he not only blamed Shi Qiu Shui, he also blamed Cao Juan.
Because Shi Qiu Shui was obviously in the same group as Cao Juan, and he spoke out to help Cao Juan.
Chen Xin glared at Shi Qiushui resentfully. Shi Qiushui was puzzled by his gaze and said, "Hey, monkey, why are you looking at me?"
Chen Xin was already angry because someone said he looked like a monkey, and now when he heard Shi Qiu Shui calling him a monkey, he became even angrier.
He rushed towards Shi Qiu Shui angrily, swinging his fist.
Shi Qiu Shui didn't expect Chen Xin to start fighting right away. Seeing that Chen Xin was about to rush over, she hadn't reacted yet and stood there blankly. At this time, two people rushed out from behind her, one on the left and one on the right, and blocked her way.
The two people who rushed out were Xiong Jie and Zhao Ran.
Xiong Jie stood in front of Shi Qiushui with his arms outstretched, and shouted at Chen Xin who was rushing towards him: "If you want to attack my boss, you will have to step over my dead body!"
Shi Qiushui: ...
Zhao Ran: ...
Looking at Xiong Jie who was so exaggerated, Zhao Ran twitched his mouth. He almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Xiong Jie was completely oblivious to Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran's disdain for him, and he indignantly said to Chen Xin, "With Xiong Jie here, don't even think about touching a hair on my head. Today I...ah!"
Chen Xin didn't care what he was saying. He just wanted to settle the score with Shi Qiu Shui. Since the big guy Xiong Jie was standing in front of Shi Qiu Shui, he would beat Xiong Jie first and then Shi Qiu Shui!
So he punched Xiong Jie in the face with a bang.
Xiong Jie was caught off guard and was stunned. After he realized that he had been hit with pain, his first reaction was to cry.
But thinking of what Shi Qiushui had just told him, that a real man sheds blood and sweat, not tears, he sniffed and tried hard to hold back his tears.
Xiong Jie, tears welling in his eyes, pointed at Chen Xin and accused him, "How could you just start fighting without waiting for me to finish my words?"
In response to Xiong Jie, Chen Xin punched him again.
Chen Xin proved with facts that he just didn't want to listen to Xiong Jie.
Now Xiong Jie also got angry and punched him with his fists.
Xiong Jie is a lot taller than Chen Xin and is naturally stronger than him. In addition, Xiong Jie studied martial arts in a martial arts class for two months during the summer vacation, so his physical fitness is much better than Chen Xin's.
Xiong Jie pinned Chen Xin down and beat him up in just a few strokes.
Chen Xin was beaten so hard that his nose and tears started to flow. He yelled in pain, "Someone, come quickly, where are the people from Class One? Come quickly, the people from Class Two are beating people up at our door. This is bullying our class! Are you cowards? No one of you will stand up and help me?!"
Chen Xin and Xiong Jie had already said they would fight. Most of the people at the scene didn't react at all. When they heard what Chen Xin said, they subconsciously rushed forward with their fists clenched without even thinking.
They do this for no other reason than to prove that they are not cowards.
Seeing a group of people rushing forward, Shi Qiu Shui certainly would not stand idly by.
Even though she sometimes disliked Xiong Jie, he was her younger brother after all, and she couldn't let a group of people beat him up. Besides, Xiong Jie was beaten by Chen Xin because he was trying to help her. If she just stood by and watched, that would be too much!
"Don't even think about bullying my little brother!" Shi Qiu Shui immediately rushed forward with clenched fists.
Shi Qiu Shui moved, and Zhao Ran followed suit. He had a tense face, clenched his fists, and struck steadily, accurately and fiercely. He hit one kid after another with one punch, and every move never missed.
When Xiaopang and Xiaotaozi saw this scene, they rushed over without saying a word and started fighting with the group of people.
Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Cao Juan's face turned pale and red, and then red and white. Her lips trembled for a long time before she mustered the courage to shout, "Stop, stop fighting, stop it."
But Shi Qiu Shui and the others were already fighting and could not hear Cao Juan's cry at all.
Not only Cao Juan, but Shi Qiu Shui and the others also didn't hear the other students trying to stop the fight.
Seeing that the situation on the scene was out of control, Cao Juan bit her lip, and finally gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, deciding to go to the office to call the teacher.
She trotted to the office and as soon as she entered, she saw Teacher Cai standing up from his seat.
Teacher Cai: "Hey, Cao Juan, you're here just in time. I want to ask you, what's going on in your classroom? I can hear the noise from the office."
Cao Juan: "Teacher, over there in the classroom..."
Teacher Cai: "Huh? What happened in the classroom?"
Cao Juan closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she said, "There's a fight going on in the classroom."
"What?!"
Teacher Cai's eyes widened. "A fight broke out? Who fought with whom?"
When she heard that someone was fighting, she became anxious and walked out.
As she walked, she asked, "What's going on? Who's fighting with whom? Where's the squad leader? Where's the discipline committee member? Didn't they intervene?"
Cao Juan trotted to catch up with Teacher Cai and said, "There was a fight between our class and Class 1. The class monitor was also in the fighting team..."
