"Good! That's all good. Your superiors have told you, so just spread the word and promote your sense of justice.
Dai Dong, when were you interviewed?
"August 12, after receiving the notice."
"Li Zongmei, what about you?"
"August 13th."
"Liu Zhongfan, what about you?"
"August 15th."
"Where's Li Manman?"
"August 16th."
"Zhou Xiang, what about you?"
"Before I arrived at the county seat on the 27th, no one had ever contacted me. I saw a reporter from the provincial TV station at my residence in the county seat and accepted her interview. I requested an exclusive interview. After the interview, the so-called reporter from the municipal TV station arrived."
There was an uproar in the class. Even if they walked all the way according to the distance, it shouldn't take more than ten days. Zhou Xiang didn't live in some remote mountain area.
"What do you call this behavior of the city station?"
"Discrimination!" Xiao Chunmei was indignant.
"Yes, discrimination! You didn't watch the provincial TV news, but just followed the crowd. I'm very disappointed, especially Wan Jing.
Okay, let’s go home from school! We’ll arrange the book distribution this afternoon.”
Ran Qiming walked out of the classroom, Zhou Xiang picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, and Xiao Chunmei hurriedly caught up with him.
Dai Dong and others were very ashamed. They thought they were too self-righteous and took personal emotions into account after hearing some seemingly true news.
They also collectively look down on Zhou Xiang, but it is they who should be looked down upon.
Zhou Xiang caught up with Ran Qiming and said, "I don't care why you do all this, and I won't appreciate it, because you used to be the same as them. Also, don't think about assigning any position to me. I don't have time. I will need to take a lot of leave in the future. Be prepared."
After saying that, without giving him a chance to answer, he walked towards the school gate.
Xiao Chunmei was stunned when she heard what Zhou Xiang had just said. No wonder she was so rude to Teacher Ran! It turned out that Teacher Ran had also discriminated against Zhou Xiang. Humph! Xiao Chunmei glared at him fiercely and chased after him to the school gate.
Ran Qiming laughed at himself. Yes! He had been just like them before, so what right did he have to criticize them?
"Zhou Xiang, I finally caught up with you. Why were you walking so fast?"
Xiao Chunmei ran to Zhou Xiang panting.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to walking fast. Next time, tell me in advance that you want to walk with me, and I'll wait for you to come with me."
"Yeah! I'm telling you right now, I'll go with you every time after school from now on."
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go together after school every time. Don't break the appointment."
"good!"
The two walked and talked, and when they reached the school gate, Xiao Chunmei finally remembered to ask Zhou Xiang, "Where do you live?"
"Water Conservancy Bureau."
"It's the southernmost end! But it's not that bad. I live near the cinema, so I can still walk a little way."
"Then I'll go through the cinema."
"Then you've taken a bit of a detour."
"Don't be afraid, it's just two short sections. Since we can go together, why should we separate halfway?"
"Zhou Xiang, you are so nice!" Xiao Chunmei put her arm around her.
Zhou Xiang didn't feel uncomfortable, so he let her hold him. It was the first time since he was reborn that he could accept someone else holding him. Even Li Li couldn't accept it.
I was also a little happy in my heart, maybe I could become a good classmate of hers.
As for whether I am good or not, that depends on one's own opinion.
Xiao Chunmei talked non-stop all the way, not as chattering as Li Li, but she could make you chat with her involuntarily.
Perhaps, all the things he talked about with her were gossips and interesting things. She didn't talk about her own family, nor did she ask about Zhou Xiang's family situation, let alone ask why.
"By the way, there's a barbecue place near the cinema. The food is delicious. I used my pocket money, which I've been saving for a long time, to buy two skewers. The loud-mouthed brother was so kind as to give me an extra one."
Has she been saving it for a long time? The skewers are only five cents a piece. It seems her family is average, perhaps similar to mine.
"Well! It seems you are lucky. I bought ten skewers but they didn't give me any for free. Next time I buy something, I will tell them about it."
"Don't! It's not easy for them to run a business. They work from dawn to dusk. Big brother gave it to me secretly. If you tell anyone about it, it won't be nice."
"I was just teasing you. Next time there's a chance, I'll treat you to a meal."
Xiao Chunmei swallowed her saliva and said, "No, everyone counts their money, don't spend it recklessly!"
Zhou wanted to see her swallowing her saliva and refusing to persuade herself, and he thought she was very cute.
"Okay, I won't waste it."
I never spend money indiscriminately. I only buy food, clothing and other necessities that I really need.
At the entrance of Yingnan Alley, south of the cinema, Xiao Chunmei stopped and said, "My house is at the very end, the second to last."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
The two said goodbye, and Zhou wanted to continue walking south, which would take forty minutes! He was tall enough to ride a bike now, but with Xiao Chunmei around, the road was crowded and not suitable for cycling.
I can only walk for now. When my third brother and Zuo Heng are admitted to junior high school next year, I will buy a bicycle and have a dedicated driver.
When he got home, Zuo Heng was already cooking. Zhou Xiang was very happy, "Oh! There's a ready-made meal when I get home!"
Zuo Heng smiled and said, "Your school is far away. From now on, Zhou Hua and I will apply to No. 2 Middle School!"
"I was just thinking about the free drivers next year. Are you planning on that?"
"Yeah! That's fine too. We can take the entrance exam to No. 1 Middle School. The three of us can go together and ride our bikes back and forth every day, which is fast."
"Right! That's the way it should be. Once I get the ticket, I'll buy a bike."
"Yeah, okay!"
When going to school in the afternoon, Zhou Xiang deliberately walked along the street where the cinema was, and Xiao Chunmei was indeed looking at him at the entrance of the cinema south alley.
"Zhou Xiang, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you for ten minutes."
"You have a watch?"
"I estimated it."
"Okay! My bad. I'll be ten minutes early tomorrow."
Someone was talking, so I didn't feel like I was walking slowly. When I reached the classroom door, the bell for preparation had just rung.
After sitting down and putting away his schoolbag, Ran Qiming entered the classroom. "The sports committee member will take someone to the academic affairs office to move the books."
Xue Zhendong called a few boys in the last row to go out together.
Dai Dong stood up and said, "Teacher Ran, we recognize our mistakes and have decided to re-elect class leaders."
Ran Qiming waved his hand. "No need. You have made your decision, and others have made theirs. Zhou Xiang said she doesn't want to be a class leader."
Dai Dong was embarrassed, "Teacher!"
"Okay, sit down! The class leaders have already been chosen this morning, and she won't be on the class representative list."
No class can tolerate class representatives and class leaders who are frequently absent from classes!
The students were all speechless. What did that mean? Are there still people who don't want to be class leaders?
Wan Jing felt very happy. After all this time, wasn't she still just an ordinary student?
Xiao Chunmei glared at the teacher on the stage, saying that he really didn't know how to speak.
Ran Qiming was glared at twice today, but because she was thinking about Zhou, he didn't bother with her.
The books were moved to the podium one after another, and Ran Qiming began to call out names of students to receive the books.
