Chapter 454: Afraid of nothing!
"Teacher, I can't take this money!"
The cool banknotes in Ouyang Ming's hand were like hot potatoes. He hurriedly pushed the two thin bills into Zhou Yu's arms and explained in a panic, "It doesn't matter if there are still a few apples left... I was planning to give them to a few classmates as gifts... So, teacher, there's really no need. And, this money is too much..."
Zhou Yu looked at Ouyang Ming who was stammering in panic as he explained. He couldn't help but find it a little funny. He stretched out a hand, pulled out Ouyang Ming's retracted hand, and stuffed the crumpled banknote back into Ouyang Ming's hand.
After doing all this, Zhou Yu took a step back, straightened his clothes and looked at Ouyang Ming with a serious expression, and said, "This money is not just for buying these peace apples... Well, I'm just busy spending Christmas Eve with your master's wife today."
Hmm? The Master's wife is here too?!
Ouyang Ming and Xu Li were a little surprised. The teacher's wife was here too, so why was the teacher here alone? Where did the teacher's wife go?
Zhou Yu didn't have the ability to read minds, so he didn't know that the two of them were paying attention to such strange things. They were actually thinking about something else here. He continued to say to Ouyang Ming and Xu Li, "Anyway, today is a holiday after all... As the squad leader, I will give you a task here."
Hearing that the head teacher had a task for him, Ouyang Ming quickly collected his thoughts and listened attentively to Zhou Yu's speech.
"Except for the money I use to buy your apples, don't even think about paying me back the rest... Well, you and Xu Li can make another hard trip to buy apples with the rest. Buy as many as you can. The quantity is based on..."
Zhou Yu originally wanted to buy the quantity according to the number of students in your class, but Zhou Yu suddenly remembered that he now has more than just the Senior 3 (27) class, there is also another Senior 3 (26) class. Now it can be considered as a welfare distribution, so he can't think of favoring one over the other!
If one class received the gift but the other didn’t, who knows how the students in Class 3 (26) would feel when they found out.
Don't panic but worry about the uneven distribution of wealth. This kind of thing cannot be done!
So Zhou Yu thought about this, and the words he just said became, "Let's buy the quantity according to 121 people! After buying, you give half to the monitor of Class 26, and then tell him, and then you can distribute it in the class. If the money is not enough, you pay it first, and then tell me how much is missing, and I will make up for it..."
As Zhou Yu was talking, Ouyang Ming and Xu Li were nodding and taking notes frantically, fearing that they would miss any details and fail to complete the tasks assigned by the head teacher.
When Ouyang Ming heard Zhou Yu's last words, "If it's not enough, you can pay for it first. When the time comes, tell me how much you need and I'll make up for it," he quickly added, "That's enough, teacher. If you buy it by the kilogram, it will definitely be enough! And you will definitely not be able to spend it all. When the time comes, I will give you the money..."
It was definitely enough, and Ouyang Ming was thinking that he definitely couldn’t let the class teacher pay for those ten apples. He could just dispose of them himself and give them to friends, but he must not let the class teacher spend any more money.
Zhou Yu didn't care about these things. He just waved his hand at Ouyang Ming, indicating that there was no need to say more. "It's not like I haven't bought it before. On a day like today, the fruit store will probably raise the price. With this little money, there won't be much left even if there is any left."
"If there's any left, don't give it to me. Just consider it as the errand fee for you and Xu Li. It's so cold, and running errands is not easy. Okay, there's nothing else to do! You guys should go back quickly!"
After saying that, Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling the two to leave quickly. But before leaving, Zhou Yu gave them some special instructions.
"I still say the same thing. At this stage, the most important thing is to study! As for the other things, you can put them off until you are admitted to university...Okay, stop wasting time and go back quickly! Remember to remember what I told you!"
After watching the two students in front of him nodding in agreement, Zhou Yu turned around and prepared to leave. However, just as Zhou Yu was about to leave, he immediately stopped.
Zhou Yu seemed to remember something, so he quickly turned around and said to Ouyang Ming, "By the way, give me an apple!"
Ouyang Ming did not ask Zhou Yu why he wanted to take an apple. When Zhou Yu spoke, Ouyang Ming hurriedly gestured to Xu Li, who was standing stupidly beside him, to unpack his packed luggage.
Xu Li seemed to react only after Ouyang Ming's reminder, and quickly cooperated with Ouyang Ming to open the box.
Ouyang Ming took out a box of apples and was about to give it to Zhou Yu. After thinking for a while, he took out another one and handed the two beautifully packaged boxes to Zhou Yu. He said to Zhou Yu solemnly,
"Then teacher, we will go back first. One is for the teacher and the other is for the teacher's wife. I wish the teacher and the teacher's wife a happy Christmas Eve and have fun!"
"Yes! Happy Christmas Eve to the teacher and his wife!" Xu Li echoed from the side.
After hearing what Ouyang Ming and Xu Li said, Zhou Yu couldn't help but grin.
Okay, I’m starting to understand the ways of the world.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu did not refuse and took the two packaged peace apples directly. He nodded to Ouyang Ming and said, "Okay, then I'll say thank you to you on behalf of your master's wife!"
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu reminded Ouyang Ming and Xu Li before leaving, "By the way, if you get caught after you go back... well, you know what I mean. If a teacher asks you two where you went, just say I asked you to help buy something."
I have to say that Zhou Yu was very considerate. He even thought of an excuse for Ouyang Ming and Xu Li to be caught skipping classes by the school leaders in charge of the school's evening discipline. As a class teacher and a teacher, Zhou Yu had done everything he should have done and thought of.
After saying that, Zhou Yu turned around and wanted to leave, preparing to find Qiao Meng who was still trying samples in a store having a discount sale.
However, when Zhou Yu was about to leave, Ouyang Ming stopped him.
"teacher......"
Zhou Yu sighed deeply, looked at Ouyang Ming who still seemed a little hesitant, and asked with a pleasant face, "What's wrong, Ouyang Ming, is there anything else?"
Ouyang Ming looked at Zhou Yu, and after some hesitation, he mustered up the courage to say what he had been wanting to say.
"Teacher, can you please not tell my family about this..." Ouyang Ming stuttered, not as eloquent as usual, "It's about me skipping classes to sell peace apples..."
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and scratched his ears. "What peace apple? What is that? I don't know what you are talking about! Have I ever seen you before?!"
After saying that, Zhou Yu took the two apples and left without looking back.
When Zhou Yu found Qiao Meng in the Sanfu store, Qiao Meng was trying on cosmetics in front of the mirror. When Zhou Yu walked up to Qiao Meng, Qiao Meng, who was trying the samples enthusiastically, hadn't even reacted to Zhou Yu coming over.
Zhou Yu, who had been standing nearby for two minutes without being noticed, had no choice but to cough twice. Only then was he noticed by Qiao Meng, who was concentrating on the task at hand.
"You just let me try it first and then you ran away...what did you do?" Qiao Meng asked curiously.
Zhou Yu did not answer immediately, but handed the peace apple in his hand to Qiao Meng, "This is for you, Merry Christmas Eve!"
Seeing the gift, Qiao Meng put the sample back on the shelf, took the Ping An apple and looked at it, then looked at Zhou Yu beside her curiously, "Did you buy this for me? Don't you dislike Christmas Eve? Thank you Zhou Yu, you bought me a gift."
What Qiao Meng wanted to see was Zhou Yu's kindness and that Zhou Yu cared about her, so even if it was an apple that didn't seem to be worth a few dollars, Qiao Meng was very satisfied and felt that this festival was of great significance.
Zhou Yu held up another peace apple and shrugged, "I bought it specially for you... I thought I met someone I knew just now, so I went over to take a look, but later I realized I was wrong. Then I found that there were quite a few people buying peace apples, so I bought two. It's a festival, so at least there's some sense of festival ritual."
A white lie is still a lie. Zhou Yu had no intention of telling Qiao Meng what happened just now. Anyway, Qiao Meng looked so happy now. In this case, Zhou Yu would just pretend that he went there specially to buy a gift for Qiao Meng.
"Thank you, Zhou Yu!" Qiao Meng felt very happy now, and her eyes were almost wet when she looked at Zhou Yu. Qiao Meng felt that she didn't even want to look at the cosmetics anymore, and she wanted to take Zhou Yu home right now, and then squeeze more gifts out of Zhou Yu.
Seeing the look in Qiao Meng's eyes falling on him, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shudder, and instantly understood what Qiao Meng was thinking at the moment.
So, in this very cold day, Zhou Yu could even feel sweat starting to form on his forehead and temples.
However, this was just Zhou Yu's illusion. In fact, Zhou Yu was not sweating. This was just his psychological effect. On the contrary, it was true that Zhou Yu felt very panicked now.
"Ahem...Have you picked out your cosmetics? If you have, go buy them! We still have to go to other stores later, so don't let it be too late and delay our movie!"
Zhou Yu reminded Qiao Meng, which made Qiao Meng glare at Zhou Yu with a little dissatisfaction.

During school hours, the gate of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School is usually tightly closed, whether it is during daytime classes or evening self-study.
This is not only for school discipline, but also for the safety of students. Just imagine, if someone sneaks out during class and encounters some danger, what do you want the school to do?
Or if someone from outside the school enters the school and does something to the students, what should the school do?
Therefore, during class time, the best solution is to close the school gate tightly so that people inside cannot go out and people outside cannot come in.
Of course, this is a bit of an exaggeration. If you want to go out or enter the school, you can still do so. Just explain the situation to the guard at the school gate next to the main entrance and register.
However, generally speaking, if there is no valid reason, students should think about the consequences of entering and leaving the school at will.
Ouyang Ming didn't know whether the others had legitimate reasons or not, but he didn't have the confidence to appear at the school gate with Xu Li openly and let the guard interrogate the registration.
Xu Li, holding a box of apples, and Ouyang Ming, who was also holding a box of apples, appeared at the back of the school. There was a low fence there, which was always a good place for students to climb over the wall to enter and exit the campus.
"I don't understand (Fenghua accent), why don't we go through the main gate? Why do we have to climb over the wall with so many things?!"
There were basically no street lights behind the school, so Xu Li followed Ouyang Ming, stepping on the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and came to a low railing in the dark.
"Hasn't our class teacher already thought of an excuse for us? He said we were going to buy something for him. Why do we have to climb over the wall in the dark? Can't we just go and tell the security guard and be done with it?!"
Ouyang Ming said nothing, but just walked forward silently holding the apple.
After arriving at the place, Ouyang Ming stuffed the apple through the gap in the railing and threw a backpack over the fence. He then took a breath and said to Xu Li, "Wouldn't it be good if we could cause less trouble for our class teacher? If the security guard really reports us, the school won't say anything, but they will always blame our class teacher."
Ouyang Ming thought about it for the long term. He thought that if he really reported it, the school would always blame their class teacher. As a class teacher, don't you know what is important and what is not? You actually asked your students to help you go out of school to buy things and handle your personal affairs in the middle of the night?!
So when the time comes, should Ouyang Ming and the others explain the facts to the school or not?
Therefore, the best solution is for Ouyang Ming and Xu Li to climb over the wall.
However, what Ouyang Ming didn't expect was that Zhou Yu wouldn't care about these things, and the school leaders wouldn't care about these things either.
Even though they were wearing thick clothes, their movements were very agile. And because there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, they jumped directly from the fence without any psychological burden.
The back door of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School is some distance away from the teaching building, more remote than the stadium, and there are no street lights here, so it is dark here. Except for some wild mandarin ducks, no one comes here at other times.
But it is obvious that in such a cold day and with such heavy snow, even wild mandarin ducks will not come here, so there are only two living people here at present - the other creatures are unknown.
The surroundings were dead silent and dark, which made Xu Li feel a little uneasy.
Xu Li couldn't help but ask Ouyang Ming who was walking in front of him, wanting to seek some security, "Brother Ming, do you feel any strange noises around you? I heard that our school was built on a mass grave before? It's so dark here, there won't be ghosts, right?"
Ouyang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
Which school is not built on a cemetery?
"What the hell!"
Ouyang Ming continued walking forward with the box in his arms, saying without turning his head, "These students in our school have to go to school from 7am to 10pm every day, and they are already full of resentment. Even if there are ghosts in our school, where is the space for them to survive?"
Xu Li thought about it and it seemed to be the case!
If ghosts really exist, the students' resentment alone would be enough to kill them. How could these ghosts have any room to survive?
So it's not without reason that the school was built on a cemetery - whose ghosts can suppress these students? !
Thinking of this, Xu Li's courage suddenly increased a lot.
Afraid of nothing!
