Good sales
Lin Yueru looked up and saw someone coming up to her at some point, staring at the soup in her bowl.
"Ah, a blind date..."
Lin Yueru was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to poke the ribs in the bowl. The ribs had been stewed for a long time, and with a light poke, the meat separated from the bones.
She pursed her lips and said, "Go ahead, you're not a kid anymore. Hey, if you're always doing things right, you'll be married next year, right?"
"Maybe." Tan Li'er turned around to pick up the bowl on the glass cabinet. The soup was already cold.
The meat in the bowl was scooped out and thrown into the trash can, and the bone residue was also picked out completely. The remaining soup was poured into the sink and disappeared down the drain.
“Time flies by so fast.”
Lin Yueru poked the carrots in the bowl and smashed them: "Yeah! What's wrong?"
"Director, we're back!"
"Doctor Tan!"
"Yeah." Tan Li'er touched the wrinkles on her white coat and smoothed them out gently.
Lu Zisheng put the food on the table and quickly took it out and set it up. "Come on, come on, Director, eat!"
"Come on, Brother Yang, let's give them the food and go eat together."
"By the way, what happened to that student who had a stomachache?" Lin Yueru changed the subject.
Tan Li'er bit her words: "Your precious student is fine. I just had an irregular menstrual period and caught a cold. I took some painkillers."
"Are you awake?"
"Um."
Gao Liyang and Lu Zisheng pulled open the curtain, and Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xi looked at each other in surprise.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Xi sat up on the bed and leaned his head against the wall.
Gao Yuanyuan pointed to her stomach and said, "Zhou Xi, is your cold getting worse again?"
"That's right." Gao Liyang dragged a stool to Zhou Xi as a dining table, and worked hard to arrange the food and chopsticks.
Lu Zisheng is the same as above.
"Thanks."
"Eat quickly, you have an exam this afternoon."
Lu Zisheng looked around and then looked around again, and he always felt funny: "Hey, I say, Brother Yang, we have really become flower protectors this time. The two sisters are handed over to us, so you have to take good care of them."
Gao Liyang took the green onions out of the plastic box and said, "Yes, you two really have a tacit understanding when you get sick. Lu Zisheng and I will come over to lie down tomorrow."
"Do you want to try not being able to breathe any air through your two noses?" Zhou Xi pushed the vegetables aside, piled them into a small hill, and picked out the rice.
"Do you want to try it? Does it hurt during menstruation for girls?" Gao Yuanyuan asked quietly, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Forget it. Being healthy is the best. What's the point of being sick? Ugh!" Lu Zisheng cursed several times.
Suddenly, Gao Liyang stopped, tore off a piece of paper, and bent down: "Zhou Xiaoxi, wasting food is a very shameful behavior..."
Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Zisheng all looked over.
Zhou Xi pinched his itchy nose and muttered, "Well, I accidentally dropped it."
Gao Liyang threw the poor ribs into the trash can.
"Do you want to eat it? Here, give me some chili?"
"No, patients should have the awareness of being patients." Gao Liyang's plastic box contained green chili strips and a few scattered pieces of shredded meat.
Lu Zisheng extended his chopsticks and said, "I want to eat too."
"Zhou Xi, you really don't understand Brother Yang's good intentions. He even gave up his favorite class, Xiaopai, just so you can get better quickly and keep our top spot in Class One and Two!"
"Aqiu!"
Zhou Xi's hand shook, and the lunch box fell to the ground with a bang.
The lunch box died a miserable death, and the chopsticks flew out.
Gao Liyang's hand holding the chopsticks trembled: "Sister Zhou, you have the guts..."
“…”
Zhou Xi tore off the band-aid on the back of his hand and threw it into the trash can, then went back to the classroom bookcase to get his exam bag, turned around and entered the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1, and pulled out the stool for the first seat.
The shorter the road, the better.
There was a box of cold medicine on the table. Zhou Xi picked it up and was about to throw it on the podium when he heard a voice behind him.
"I gave you this medicine."
"What?"
"This medicine is for you!" Bai Yu said, then paused, reciting a formula. "You have a cold. This exam wasn't fair. Let's try again at the end of the semester."
Zhou Xi weighed it in his hands, tossed the box around, flipping it upside down. The pills clattered together, making a rustling sound. "Thank you, I appreciate it."
"Well, I didn't finish my composition this morning. I'll do it next time."
Zhou Xi put the medicine on Bai Yu's desk. Bai Yu glanced at Zhou Xi, put the medicine back into his bag, and took out a reference book.
"You! Never mind, there are plenty of opportunities anyway."
"It's an exam, so just do your best. I can't control a cold." Zhou Xi held his chin and looked at the last seat in the exam room.
The boy was tall and his last seat was in the corner of the classroom, which was a bit crowded. It looked weird and funny no matter how he looked at it. The position was not suitable for him at all.
The teacher's right-hand man at the podium is quite suitable.
Bai Yu grabbed the pen and said, "What are you laughing at? You have so much free time, why don't you hurry up and review?"
"No, this, is the teaching supplementary book okay?" Zhou Xi withdrew his gaze and fell on the full notes on the book, without answering his question.
"You were smiling, even though you were wearing a mask, your eyes betrayed you."
Bai Yu changed his tone. "This book is very useful. I highly recommend it. Take bus No. 211 from school and go directly to the Step Bookstore in Tinglai Square. It's on the second floor, in the back half on the right side, on the third shelf (9 shelves) or the sixth shelf (10 shelves)."
He chattered away without taking a breath, but Zhou Xi didn't hear a word he said.
"Get a membership card, and you'll get 12% off everything on membership days. You can borrow books with the card every day, and there are occasional member benefits, raffles, and no threshold coupons. There are also special events on holidays."
Good eloquence, so amazing.
Zhou Xi opened his mouth and nodded: "Regular customer?"
"The bookstore belongs to me. You can still see me working there."
"Master, do you still want to work?" Zhou Xi's nose was blocked and he had no interest in thinking. The book was still neatly placed on the table without opening the page.
Bai Yu adjusted his thick glasses and said, as if speaking in a scientific manner, "Businessmen are driven by profit. I buy a lot of books. You should understand that these reference books are not cheap."
"So, will applying for a membership card help you boost your sales?"
"Of course, I can recommend any book you want."
Zhou Xi took the piece of paper that Bai Yu had torn off. On it was a string of numbers: "Good sales."
Bai Yu smiled, his expression a familiar one: "Thank you. Okay, you can go review now. You still have five minutes."
"oh."
Zhou Xi turned around and deducted n points from himself. He was careless against a strong opponent.
The monthly exam ends on Thursday, and we have three days off, with evening self-study classes on weekend nights.
After moving the table, Zhou Xi went to submit his application to stay in school. Everyone who squeezed past him on the way was rushing home.
The office door was wide open and the heater was blasting out.
Several teachers were crowded around a computer desk. The afterimage of the red pen fell on the answer sheet filled in black pen, and it was covered up before it could dry quickly.
“And there are so many more!”
"Oops, I almost made a mistake!"
"Don't mention it. The school computer is broken. We are the ones who suffer. The students have all gone home. What about us? Originally, I should be lying at home and clicking with my fingers. Ugh!"
"Teacher Cheng, please hand me a pen. Mine is out of ink."
"Oh no! My son's kindergarten is over. I'll call and ask his grandmother to pick him up."
"Hey, what are you doing here? You're here to turn in your form, right? Just leave it at the door."
The fat figure flashed by.
Zhou Xi poked his head out and saw a pile of sealed cowhide bags on the ground, with no place to step.
She noticed a small stack of forms on the windowsill at the door, held down a corner with a notebook, put it down honestly and left.
——
The dormitory was always cold, and Zhou Xi felt it was a bit of a luxury to turn on the air conditioner when living alone, so he moved the bedside table and sat on the bed with the cover covering him to read.
The trash can at the door was full of white paper, and there were still quite a few on the table.
Xiao Xiaoyu went to the ancient town to sketch. She was not allowed to bring her cell phone with her in the morning. She finished work early in the afternoon and returned to the guesthouse. She didn't care about the mess of paint on her body. After sending the message, she ran to the stairwell in her slippers and called Zhou Xi.
"Hello, Miss."
"Sister Zhou, I'll be back tomorrow!"
Zhou Xi could feel Xiao Xiaoyu's excitement even through the microphone: "Do you want us to pick you up?"
"No need. I'll take the bus directly to No. 3 Middle School tomorrow. I have an exam. It just so happens that you haven't been to No. 3 Middle School before, so why don't you come and play with me after I finish my exam?"
Zhou Xi turned off the desk lamp and lay down: "I, sure, you can ask them."
"Yuanyuan is still having her period and isn't feeling well. She said she can't go, but that idiot said it's okay. It just so happens that I have some friends who I can hang out with."
Xiao Xiaoyu turned on the speakerphone and typed on the screen with her fingers, but suddenly stopped.
"Oh, by the way, Lao Zhang posted in the class group that there will be a parent-teacher conference next Wednesday! Is this true?"
"Yeah, it's a bit rushed."
"Hiss, it's so cold!" Xiao Xiaoyu trotted over to close the transparent glass window in the corridor, and then kicked the door in the corridor shut.
"It's not just a rush, it's a rush. It looks like the results will be out tomorrow. Luckily I didn't take the exam, and my parents aren't at home either."
It was getting dark outside, and the lights in the dormitory were off, with only the small square cell phone on.
"Time flies, it's already December." Zhou Xi murmured.
"Yeah, why do I feel like I just started school? How come the semester is almost over? I feel like I haven't done anything this semester. Is this what high school is like? This is terrifying. I can't be 18 in the blink of an eye!"
"Forget it, forget it. I'll hang up first. I want to go back and change my clothes." Xiao Xiaoyu still felt cold. She shivered and ran back happily.
She felt unhappy just thinking about taking exams. From childhood to adulthood, she had participated in so many exams and competitions and traveled to many places. It wasn't that she was tired of it, but she just felt uncomfortable.
Maybe the shadow left by my childhood was too big, and I always feel uncomfortable afterwards.
At that time, she was young and alone, and she foolishly joined an institution. She boasted about it to the sky, saying how great it was, the kind that even dogs would call her daddy.
Then I paid a considerable amount of money, and then I was told that I was going to participate in a competition and paid another registration fee.
When she got there, she found out that it was just a vocational school that was so run down that it didn't even have a big school sign. She endured the exam for two or three hours that day and then went to find a place to pee.
It's even more amazing than the sky, it refreshes her big eyes of KISS ME!
The toilet is a separate small house behind the dilapidated teaching building. The men's and women's toilets are next to each other, separated by two crooked black characters on the wall, and there is a row of rusty faucets outside.
There was no trash can, so all the trash was thrown in the corner; there was no flush tank, so there was no way to poop and pee; the floor was not mopped, so the pants were dirty when they were taken off.
Damn it, can you please do something human? There’s no way!
There is no door outside!
There is no door inside!!
There is not even a wooden board to separate them!!!
Xixi Baba! Baba Xixi!
Everyone is showing off their bare butts to each other and see whose is bigger, right?
She held the precarious panties tightly, feeling so depressed that she looked like an old sow.
There is no fresh air coming out...
Hahaha!
Hahaha!
Outside the toilet was a stagnant lake. I don't know if it had rained eight hundred years ago, but the water was a disgusting green, with a few dead lotus leaves in it.
A little further back was their dormitory, a short building of several floors with walls that looked like they were oozing pus. The corridor was filled with clothes hanging everywhere, mostly their distinctive school uniforms, which tightly blocked the view from inside.
Feeling, two words.
damp.
It was the first time for her to come into contact with this kind of reality from a different level. It was too bleak, as if her life had come to an end, with no hope at all, and she was stuck in this cage to die.
She looked down on the people here, this place, and even more so, this kind of life!
If she were to be reborn into such a life and walk such a path, she would rather die.
All her parents could give her was money, so she never compromised herself and only wanted the best, such as paint and paper for painting, and she spent money without blinking an eye.
It's a joke to let her suffer such hardships that can be solved with money!
What the hell is this!
She wants to run!
Damn it, that damn agency refused to give it to me. After struggling for a while, that agency actually ran away with the money!
hehe!
As Xiao Xiaoyu opened the door, the smell of instant noodles immediately hit her nose.
"Frog Fun, you guys are enjoying it so much, I want to eat some too!"
Mai Zi's mouth was full of oil: "Come on, add some of this, my grandma fried me some crispy fish, it's so delicious!"
Xiao Xiaoyu's hands were still stained with paint. She turned around, pulled out a piece of paper, and grabbed a strip from the glass jar through the paper.
"We are such scoundrels! How come we didn't see this when we were rushing to finish the manuscript? Damn it!"
"Barley, if you don't take out this good thing sooner, we'll be leaving tomorrow."
Mai Zi closed the lid and said, "Oh, this is over early. I was saving it for later when I'm done with snacks."
"Damn, why didn't my mom have the awareness to bring me some dry goods? I'm almost starving here. Needless to say, I must have lost several pounds!" Song Chaoyu sucked the instant noodles frantically, speaking incoherently.
Xiao Xiaoyu crumpled the oil-stained tissue into a ball and threw it towards the target from a distance.
"Perfect! Sister Xiao, it's a shame if you don't use your skills to shoot basketball. Learning to draw is so annoying every day."
Xiao Xiaoyu let down the hair that Song Chaoyu had tied up, and threw the hairband on the table: "Yu'er, your hair is really dirty, and there's dried paint on it. How did you do that?"
"Don't mention it. I haven't washed my hair in a few days. And today, I don't know why it was so itchy. I couldn't help it and scratched it several times. I guess it got contaminated."
Mai Zi closed his eyes and sniffed the air: "I smell something in the air, a rotten smell!"
"I must wash myself clean tonight and go home looking beautiful tomorrow. Yes, let's have fun tonight!"
"Okay, let me tell you, my painting bag is torn!" Mai Zi found a hole in the bag while rummaging through his things. "It's over, a few of my paintbrushes fell out!"
"Shit! What happened to my paint? It made such a mess. How could I not remember I was so good! This plate looks like a battlefield that's been bombarded."
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Mai Zi trembled as he placed the paint box on the table. He rolled his eyes and fell straight onto the bed. "Daddy, come and save me. Give it a bath!"
Xiao Xiaoyu came over and said, "Let me see. Wow, you're awesome. Mine isn't much better, but yours is really wild."
"I'll help you wash, but I'm not a Daddy, I'm the great Mother." Song Chaoyu took over.
Mai Zi knelt on the bed, clasped his hands together and said, "Mother, Mother, Mother! I love you!!!"
"Get on the shower!"
"Wash my black hands!"
