"I went to Teacher Shen's office to have dinner together, but Teacher Liu stopped me..."
Jiang Yi narrated the whole story clearly and logically.
The dean remained silent after hearing this, and then he spoke after a while.
"Teacher Liu is not an ordinary teacher, nor is she someone your family from a poor background can afford to offend. You're still relying on the school to waive your tuition. If you offend her, how can you expect to have a good life in this school?"
The dean's words were very pertinent. Jiang Yi was silent at first, then he suddenly raised his head.
His sister told him that when encountering unfairness outside, the first thing to do is to straighten your back.
He did nothing wrong in this matter, and it is impossible for him to admit his mistake.
Even though Teacher Liu has a strong family background, he is not someone that ordinary students can afford to offend.
But he didn't cause any trouble. It was Teacher Liu who took the initiative to find him and throw dirty water on him. Could it be that he couldn't resist?
"I will definitely admit to what I have done, but I didn't steal anything, so I can't admit my mistake."
Jiang Yi's attitude was still firm, and the dean shook his head.
"You're a good student, but you're a blockhead. If you offend Teacher Liu, and if I hadn't spoken up for you, you probably wouldn't have to come to school tomorrow."
"How about you, for my sake, go and admit your mistake to her? Be a little nicer and smile a little more. What do you think?"
"I would never admit to stealing something even if I had to drop out of school."
Jiang Yi said he was determined, but in fact he had already clenched his fists silently.
His sister has high hopes for him. Will she be angry if he stops studying?
Jiang Yi is not afraid of anything else except that his sister doesn't like him anymore.
But he also knew that if he admitted to stealing in order to go to school, his sister would look down on him even more.
Since you're going to die anyway, you might as well die with dignity!
Jiang Yi had made up his mind. Seeing Jiang Yi's firm attitude and no possibility of compromise, the dean of studies had no choice but to use his last trump card.
"Call your parents over tomorrow, otherwise you don't have to come to school."
Jiang Yi nodded silently and left. When he returned to the classroom, Jiang Yi's face looked very ugly, and his two good friends immediately surrounded him.
"Jiang Yi, what happened when the dean called you over just now?"
Wang Zengping realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yi, and pulled his arm and asked with concern.
"Did he bully you? Tell me, and I'll help you get justice!"
Wang Xiliang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight, but Jiang Yi quickly held them back.
The three good friends left the school shoulder to shoulder. Jiang Yi felt really uncomfortable and told them what had happened.
"Why is Teacher Liu like this? He's clearly bullying you!"
"Jiang Yi is such an outstanding person, how could he do such a thing? And I can testify for you that you brought two servings of food for lunch today, apparently it was prepared for Teacher Shen!"
The two boys immediately understood the grievances Jiang Yi had suffered. They took turns comforting Jiang Yi along the way. When they reached the fork in the road, they did not forget to put their arms around his shoulders and angrily accused Teacher Liu.
Although their words were of no help, they brought comfort to Jiang Yi's heart.
With the testimony and support of good friends, he believed there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
Jiang Yi was a little nervous at first and didn't dare to go back to face his sister, but now he quickened his pace.
Jiang Li was busy for the whole day. With the help of Jiang Longtao, all the ingredients for the yam glutinous rice cake were prepared, and the cake base was also made. The last step was steaming.
Only a part of it can be steamed today. After it is done, let it cool down and wrap it with oil paper. It can be sold tomorrow.
It only took one or two days to prepare hundreds of pastries, and Jiang Li thought this efficiency was acceptable.
In the evening, Jiang Li was preparing to cook dinner. Jiang Longtao had tasted the sweetness at noon and was now reluctant to leave.
"Jiang Longtao, do you still want to stay here for dinner tonight?"
Jiang Li thought that this man was quite unconscious. If he didn't tell him the truth, he probably wouldn't leave.
"Yes, my parents haven't come back yet, and the food you cook is delicious. I've been busy here all day. Can you treat me as your long-term worker and provide me with meals at noon and in the evening?"
Jiang Longtao looked at her with a smile on his face. It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. Even if Jiang Li wanted to be angry, she couldn't.
Before Jiang Li could say anything, Jiang Longtao started to use his big moves again. He rolled up his sleeves, and Jiang Li found that his arms were red from being grabbed.
At first I thought his hands didn’t itch when he was peeling yam, but now it seems that he has been enduring it, and even scratching it secretly.
Jiang Li turned his head and silently scooped another cup of rice.
Seeing this, Jiang Longtao laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched behind Jiang Li.
It seems that you can't be too aggressive when talking to Jiang Li. It will be more effective if you occasionally show weakness and act pitiful to her.
But after working with yam for a whole day, my arms are really itchy!
Jiang Longtao took advantage of Jiang Li's inattention and quickly grabbed his arm a few times.
He went outside and washed his hands several times with soap, but he always felt a faint itch deep in his skin. The feeling was so uncomfortable.
It was not easy for Jiang Li to make money by making pastries. The two of them had to ask for help while they were working. It took two or three days to buy the materials and make the pastries.
Even if the fire is kept burning tonight, this pile of yam and glutinous rice cakes will have to be steamed all night, and then they have to be packaged. There are many snakes and rats in rural homes, so it will be troublesome if they are stolen and eaten.
Jiang Li cooked the meal. Jiang Longtao was actually a little tired today, but he was reluctant to leave.
He sat quietly in the corner of the firewood pile to help Jiang Li chop wood. It was during this period that Zhang Guocai cut down a lot of trees and brought them down the mountain to weave and make furniture at home.
The extra materials and branches are perfect for making fire.
Otherwise, if the firewood is consumed like this, no matter how much firewood we have at home, it will not be enough.
It seems I need to find some time to buy some firewood for Jiang Li's family.
Jiang Longtao was too lazy to collect firewood from his own home. He had ways to make money, so he naturally wouldn't lose money.
There are many children in the village who are willing to help others collect firewood in exchange for pocket money. Although Jiang Longtao usually hangs out outside, he knows a lot about the various situations of the villagers.
Jiang Li had prepared the meal and Jiang Yi just came back.
As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a burst of fragrance. After walking such a long mountain road and feeling wronged, Jiang Yi was so excited that he almost cried when he saw his sister.
"Jiang Yi is back, hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner."
Jiang Li greeted him warmly, and Jiang Yi quickly put down his schoolbag and went to the kitchen to help.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Longtao busying around in the kitchen like a man of the house.
Jiang Yi frowned, wondering why this man was in their house?
He is also taking the initiative to help with the work here. Could he be my sister's suitor?
Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Longtao again and again. Jiang Longtao had feelings for Jiang Li and wanted to start with her brother Jiang Yi.
In special periods, surrounding the cities from the countryside is also effective. Not only must he take the initiative to surround the cities, but he must also do both and be strong!
Jiang Longtao also stared at Jiang Yi, and the two men looked at each other from a distance.
