Chapter 188
After they returned to the classroom, Liang Manman secretly came out of the toilet and sat down in her seat as if nothing had happened, as if she had always been there.
Wu Guihua asked curiously, "Manman, where were you just now?"
Liang Manman brushed her already dry bangs and said, "I'm late coming down. The dorm auntie had already locked the door and scolded me for a long time before letting me go. You guys are already lined up. It would be so embarrassing if I ran in. I might as well not go. Did the homeroom teacher call the roll?"
"No."
"That's all."
After the bell rang, the instructor came in with a book called "National Defense Education" to teach the students. Since he was not a professional teacher, he seemed a little stuttering when reading from the book.
But the classroom was quiet, no one was absent-minded, and everyone was listening attentively.
In the next class, the instructor simply put aside the textbook and talked to everyone about military training. He was quite talkative, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became lively.
He and his squad leader, who was also the instructor of Class 1, participated in the Battle of Mount Fakaka. He concealed some of the tragic war scenes and talked about the battle at that time with his classmates.
After that day, the instructor was simply shining in the eyes of his classmates. At least he had taught a good lesson in setting a benchmark for an idol who was both red and professional.
There will be no evening self-study tonight, so they can have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's military training. After Su Miao finished her meal, she went to the bathroom and prepared to walk around the school with Ye Jiayin.
The washroom and toilet are shared by the entire floor. There are five toilets separated by a long corridor. The first toilet has a faucet and a sink.
The faucet does not produce much water and is usually not turned off. Water flows directly into the sink, and when the sink is full, it will automatically flush down with a splash.
The water flow is the largest when it is just flushed, but becomes smaller as it is blocked by excrement. So a very common situation is that the first and second toilets are relatively clean, while the ones behind are squeezed into a mountain. Every time you go to the toilet, you have to hold your breath or cover your mouth and nose with a towel.
There are only six shower rooms in the washroom, and a row of sinks with six faucets. From noon on, everyone lined up outside the shower room with their own bath buckets, otherwise they might not be able to take a shower until the evening.
Su Miao and Ye Jiayin were not in a hurry. They had just filled a kettle with hot water before dinner so that they could take a shower in the evening. Su Miao had experienced the accommodation situation here in her previous life and was very familiar with it.
Speaking of the campus environment of No. 1 High School, it is one of the best in the city. Not only is the campus large, but the green plants and flower beds are also very well-maintained, with rows of large banyan trees and a small artificial lake.
The two walked to the lake and saw two canteen staff members catching fish with fishing nets.
They found it interesting and sat on the big rocks by the lake to watch. The two uncles never missed a target with their nets, and all they caught were big Egyptian walleye.
There was a cart parked on the shore with a big bucket on it. The bucket was filled with water. All the fish caught were put into the cart. In half an hour, a big bucket of fish was caught.
The uncle collected his fishing nets and prepared to push the cart away. One of the uncles smiled at the two people who had been staring at them and said, "Don't worry! You can eat it tomorrow."
Ye Jiayin was stunned for a moment before reacting and asked Su Miao, "So...the fish we caught are for us to eat in the cafeteria tomorrow?"
"Yes, this is Egyptian pond trout. The school specially released the fry, and they grow very fast, so we can eat them every year. There's also a vegetable patch behind the staff dormitory, and the cafeteria also grows water spinach, sweet potato leaves, and other things."
Su Miao nodded as a matter of course. In his previous life, he could eat fish raised and vegetables grown by the school every year.
Ye Jiayin turned to look at the lush green artificial lake, whose water quality was obviously not very good, and said with difficulty: "With such dirty water, are the fish there real fish? I'd better eat more pickles tomorrow."
They went to the convenience store again. Su Miao went in and bought a bag of plums. When she was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice in the corner talking on the phone, and the conversation seemed a bit intense.
Looking over, it was Wu Guihua holding the receiver. She wasn't paying attention to the volume of her voice amidst the constant flow of people, and she said to the person on the other end of the line in a commanding tone, "Go buy them tomorrow! I want you to wear leather shoes when I go back home this weekend, too!"
The other party seemed to have rejected her request, which made her furious.
"Of course good things are expensive! Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
…
"Why can they have it and I can't have it?"
…
"I don't care! I'll just use my brother's living expenses to buy it! Anyway, if I don't wear it when I go home this weekend, you'll see!"
Wu Guihua hung up the phone heavily. The vendor who was eating sunflower seeds beside her glanced at her with disdain and said, "Put it down carefully, or it might break. 50 cents."
"I just said a few words and I'm already charged fifty cents?"
"Hey! Calls are charged by the time. Look at the time displayed above! How could I possibly cheat you?"
"Humph! 50 cents is 50 cents! Who can't afford it?"
Wu Guihua took out fifty cents from her pocket and slapped it next to the phone, then turned around and saw Su Miao and Ye Jiayin.
Thinking that she was caught by the two of them, Wu Guihua glared at them fiercely and said, "What are you looking at? Have you ever seen someone making a phone call?"
Ye Jiayin said calmly: "Well, I've never seen anyone begging for food so naturally."
"What does this have to do with you? You are the beggars!" Wu Guihua said angrily and ran away without looking back.
Su Miao thought to himself, I really don’t know what’s wrong with me that I always run into people like this.
On the way back to the dormitory, Su Miao and Ye Jiayin discussed what they had just seen.
It is speculated that Wu Guihua took a fancy to the leather shoes Liang Manman was wearing today, and out of a competitive spirit, she called her family to ask them to buy some for her.
But leather shoes are not cheap, and your family may not have that much money left over.
She probably had a younger brother who was also in school, so she asked her parents to use the living expenses originally intended for her younger brother to buy it.
However, speculation is speculation, and other people's family affairs have nothing to do with them.
It was already 8:30 in the evening when they returned to the dormitory. Not many people were taking a shower at that time, so they waited in line for a while before it was their turn.
Ye Jiayin's bed was on the lower bunk, and after taking a shower, they sat on her bed to read and preview.
At ten o'clock, the lights-out signal rang. I went back to get a towel, toothbrush and mouthcup, washed up, went to bed and put up the mosquito net.
Twenty minutes later, the lights in the dormitory went out on time.
Looking at the light coming through the window from the street lamps, Su Miao didn't feel sleepy at all. Why were there so many things going on on the first day of school? Never mind, she would only be staying here for half a month anyway. She came here to skip a grade, not to make friends. She still preferred Yuanyuan, Jiaqi and other innocent kids.
As I thought about it, my consciousness gradually became blurred and I fell asleep.
The sound of the assembly call suddenly rang out in her dream, and it became more and more real. She shuddered and woke up.
