Chapter 126 Chat
Lu Jiu and his friends had an extra dish made from flying goose on their table.
The restaurant purchased a batch of wild goose meat, which has the effect of nourishing and warming the body. This dish is available on almost every table.
Lu Jiu and his friends were sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. Looking out, they could see the crown of the giant tree being blown by the cold wind. Just two days ago, all the leaves of the giant tree had finally fallen.
Now you can clearly see the branches curling inward, which is much uglier than before.
Shen Jufeng noticed that she was looking outside, so he mentioned the information he had noticed, "I heard that some city-states didn't pick the Tempering Fruit because they were worried about the sudden appearance of the Flying Goose."
Tempering Fruit is a good resource. If it is not collected this year, the development of the city-state may be slow next year.
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger. There were also city-states that went deep into the forest to collect despite being warned, and ended up losing their lives."
Zhuang Yun also saw similar messages and started a discussion in the chat channel. "I just noticed that the professional players in Longjiao City are having a very unpleasant relationship with the city lord..."
The two teammates understood what he meant. They had been there in the fall and had always been at odds with the city lord and professional residents.
Now, even the professional residents have become disloyal, and many residents there are hinting in the dialogue channel that they will go to other city-states in the spring.
Lu Jiu: "But it's not like what happened in the summer, when someone wanted to leave the city-state, and the other city lords enthusiastically extended an invitation."
Back when Phantom City was forced to disband, the mayors of several city-states tried their best to attract residents to settle there.
This time it was very quiet, at most just asking where I was planning to go.
"Resources are scarce in winter, and even if more people come, they may not be able to hold on. Most importantly, some people have finally realized that managing a city-state is not an easy task."
Lu Jiu understood the implicit meaning of Shen Jufeng's words, which was that she often left things to this big brother and went about her business.
She sat up straight. "Well... that's right. When I was in school, I didn't even want to be a class cadre. Later in high school, I was elected as the health committee member."
Talking about things before the end of the world, everyone became interested.
"Then what?" An An asked curiously.
Lu Jiu slowly swallowed the delicious goose meat and continued, "I was a health committee member in my freshman year, but in my second year I couldn't stand it anymore and resigned from my homeroom teacher. I even nominated a roommate to be the new health committee member."
An An thought it was quite strange, "Isn't it good to be a committee member? I'm also planning to run for class monitor in the future."
Lu Jiu's face was filled with resistance. "Being a class committee member is not easy. In our class, we had to name a certain group of students to clean the classroom. If they weren't named, they would run away. If no one showed up, I would have to clean the classroom myself. They didn't remember and wanted to run away after class anyway. And, on my first day as a sanitation committee member, I was the only one who cleaned the classroom."
An An's face wrinkled up, "No wonder you don't want to be the elder sister. I would be unhappy too."
But when Lu Jiu talked about the past, she became even more excited. "Also, our class study committee member was also the teacher's little spy. He often told the homeroom teacher about class matters, such as who was chatting in class, who was dating whom, and all sorts of other things. Later, the rest of our class found out and stopped playing with him."
Zhuang Yun has a deep understanding of students who love to tell the teacher about their children. "When I was in school, there were students in my class who did the same thing, but we didn't find out who was telling the teacher back then."
An An smiled and said, "Dad, the students in your class are not as smart as those in my sister's class."
Zhuang Yun was helpless, "Yes, yes, yes."
Lu Jiu turned to look at Shen Jufeng, "Didn't you have anything interesting during your school days?"
The person being questioned calmly drank his soup, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "There is one thing."
Lu Jiu happened to be sitting next to him and anxiously grabbed his elbow, "What is it? Share it quickly."
"When I was about to graduate from high school, a thief was caught in the dormitory of one of the girls' classes. I was the class monitor of that class."
"Wow, squad leader?!" I can't believe this.
"Actually, it was just a piece of clothing that was lost. It was still wet when it was found. The squad leader stole it from the clothes drying area. The person who lost the clothes happened to be there with a friend and realized his clothes were missing. He started checking every dormitory one by one and eventually found it."
Lu Jiu was curious about the subsequent developments, "So what happened next?"
"She initially denied it, but everyone in her dorm saw her rummaging through the bag, taking some clothes and going to the shower. Everyone else was there, and no one went to her bed. Then she paid compensation and wrote an apology letter. Later, we learned that items had been going missing from that dorm for the past three years."
Zhuang Yun thought of Shen Jufeng's identity before the end of the world, "But the school you attend shouldn't have anyone with a poor family background, right?"
Shen Jufeng nodded, "That's a prestigious school, and that class monitor isn't short of money. He even performs very well, but he just has a habit of stealing. It's a psychological problem."
"Not all second-generation rich people have an easy life. Some well-off families have very strict family traditions. The class monitor's family is one of them."
Lu Jiu suddenly felt very happy. Her parents were both strict and lenient in their education of her, especially her mother. She felt that the family was not short of money and there was no need to worry about survival. The children just needed to pursue what they liked.
However, it was this idea that made Lu Jiu semi-isolate himself for two years after losing them, but he was still able to think his way out.
…
They were chatting happily, and Lin Zuo and others who were not far away from them were also listening to the gossip.
The three of them all knew Shen Jufeng, and they had heard a little about the squad leader who stole things mentioned by Shen Jufeng. She was indeed the daughter of a certain noble family.
But at that time, no one cared about what she stole, but the fact that she had a mental illness.
Lin You listened to them talking about the interesting things that happened at school before the end of the world, and he also missed his own school days.
"Brother, I miss mom a lot. Are they okay now?"
He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, in his rebellious period. He was excited when he first left his parents' jurisdiction, but after going through so much, he started to miss his parents.
Lin Zuo didn't know how to comfort him, so he just tore off a whole chicken leg and put it in his brother's bowl. "The old man and the old woman are very powerful. I hope you can let me worry less."
At that time, the brothers were unlucky and only found one career card and two skill cards. Lin You insisted that he start the career first, fearing that the skill cards would be snatched away and then asked him to learn.
Lin You took a bite of the chicken leg and recalled his mother's tough appearance in his memory. "Maybe, but if I have the chance to go back to Yanjing, I will go back immediately to take a look and then come back."
Lin Zuo smiled. If he could go back, his younger brother would definitely not come back. However, he didn't want to stay at home. He preferred to go out and make a living. It would be nice to let his younger brother stay with their parents at that time.
The restaurant receives batch after batch of guests, and the warm interior allows people to temporarily forget the coming winter.
Lu Jiu and the others also finished their meal. They did not wait for a seat, but went downstairs to pay the bill and go home.
Only when he came out did he realize how cold it was today. Lu Jiu held his face with both hands, hoping to absorb a little warmth from his body.
Autumn ends just like that.
