Chapter 225 They really dare to accept this!
"What's all the noise about? I came up from the first floor, and of all the classes, you are the noisiest."
The classroom fell silent instantly. Some people lowered their heads, some looked away and lowered their eyes, while others sat upright in their chairs, staring straight ahead.
The classroom quieted down, and the homeroom teacher scanned the students' faces.
Seeing that everyone was very quiet, his tense face relaxed slightly, and his tone softened.
She wrote her name and phone number on the blackboard.
"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Qin, and I'm your class's homeroom teacher. Please write down my number. If you need to contact me, you can call me if I'm not at school..."
After a brief self-introduction, she asked the students below to come up and introduce themselves.
After all that fuss, it was 7:50 p.m. When the bell rang to signal the end of the first evening self-study session, Teacher Qin called out "Class dismissed" and left the classroom.
After she left, someone gave a low cheer, and then some people got up to go play with their friends, and the classroom became lively again.
Huang Huiling also got up to go find her friends, and stopped chattering with Shen Xuewei.
There are 58 students in the class, only one of whom is a day student.
So when the bell rang again, Teacher Qin returned to the classroom, arranged for the boys to move and distribute the books, and then simply made arrangements for the class officers and other personnel.
Shen Xuewei didn't want to take on any responsibilities, but she was still assigned the role of class monitor.
There are three evening self-study sessions, but since it's the beginning of the semester, everyone hasn't gotten their meal cards yet.
After the first two evening self-study sessions, Teacher Qin announced the end of the session and told everyone to go to the logistics office of the academic affairs office to get meal cards and top them up.
Everyone rushed out and quickly ran to the logistics office.
Before Shen Xuewei even reached the logistics office, she could already see the long queue.
With such a long line, if she waits in line now, it will probably take her half an hour to get a turn.
She did the math in her head, then decisively turned around and left, heading back to her dorm to shower and clean herself.
As I dried my hair, I knew it was time to go over when I saw my roommates returning to the dorm one by one.
She walked calmly toward the logistics office.
When we got there, we found that only a small section of the line had been formed, and there weren't many people left in line.
She stepped forward and stood behind the last person in line. In less than five minutes, it was her turn.
"Class name".
"Grade 1 (9), Shen Xuewei".
The person inside the window quickly registered her, then took out a meal card and asked Shen Xuewei to give him the one-inch photo she had taken.
He pasted on a one-inch photo, then put the meal card in the card holder, but instead of giving it directly to Shen Xuewei, he said:
"The monthly food allowance is 300 yuan. You can get a 100 yuan discount each month, so you only need to pay 200 yuan. It's paid monthly, and the money will be deducted whether you eat or not..."
As Shen Xuewei handed over the two hundred yuan, a thought flashed through her mind:
The owner of this cafeteria must have some connection with the principal. They deduct 300 yuan a month for meals, whether you eat or not. They really dare to charge that much!
Shen Xuewei achieved good results in the high school entrance examination, and more than one high school called to recruit her.
The conditions offered by No. 1 Middle School were that tuition and accommodation fees would be waived, and an additional monthly food allowance of 100 yuan would be provided.
At 200 yuan per month, and with 25 or 26 days a month at school, the average daily food cost is less than 10 yuan, which is not expensive for Shen Xuewei.
But for ordinary students, it's calculated at three hundred yuan a month.
The cost of food each month is a considerable burden for them.
Most importantly, she felt that the food she saw today was not worth the price at all.
When she returned to the dormitory, everyone there was discussing the food expenses.
"Wow, this school is outrageous! The food in the cafeteria is so bad, even a pig might not eat it, and they still charge 300 yuan a month! They only said we had to top up 300 yuan before school started, they didn't say it would be 300 yuan a month!"
"What can we do? I heard from the seniors that the school cafeteria is run by the principal's brother-in-law. So..."
"What bad luck! I drew No. 1 Middle School in the lottery. If I could choose for myself, I would go to Overseas Chinese Middle School. I heard that their food is better than No. 1 Middle School, and it's also cheaper."
"Three hundred yuan a month? Why don't you just rob someone? If I had known, I would have applied to be a day student. Anyway, my family is in the county. I could just ask them to buy me a bicycle, and I wouldn't have to come to evening self-study."
"You're all doing well, but my family is poor. They only agreed to give me three hundred yuan a month for living expenses. When I go back, I don't even know how to ask them for more money..."
...
The dormitory was filled with groans and sighs, and the atmosphere became extremely gloomy.
Shen Xuewei opened her phone and found that people in her junior high school class group were also complaining about their respective schools.
When children go to high school and study in more distant places, some parents from relatively well-off families provide their children with mobile phones so that they can contact them in a timely manner.
Of course, not many people have mobile phones, so apart from a few lit-up avatars, everyone else in the class group is offline.
Someone in the group saw that Shen Xuewei's QQ avatar was lit up, clicked on her name, and asked her.
"Shen Xuewei, how's No. 1 High School?"
Just as Shen Xuewei was about to reply, she saw someone appear before her.
"Don't even mention it, No. 1 Middle School is terrible, terrible, terrible! You absolutely must not come here."
Anyone can sense the other person's displeasure and resentment from those words.
Shen Xuewei thought for a moment and then sent only two simple words.
Seconded.
The entire dormitory building was noisy, but the noise subsided considerably when the lights suddenly went out.
The teacher on patrol walked over quietly, and scolded two girls who were still talking, bringing the dormitory to complete silence.
In the days that followed, Shen Xuewei's high school life gradually got back on track.
The novel she was serializing at Dreamweaver Bookstore had already reached its finale in drafts, and now that she had money again, she wasn't in a hurry to start a new book.
My mind is filled with only one thing every day: studying.
In the past, she never wanted the teacher to rearrange the seats at the beginning of the school year. However, after Huang Huiling interrupted her train of thought during class and affected her learning, she started thinking about asking the teacher to change her seat.
Huang Huiling isn't someone who wants to learn, but she really wants to!
Although Ye Meiling's grades weren't good and she didn't like studying, at least it didn't affect her studies, so Shen Xuewei was still happy to be her deskmate.
After class, once the teacher had left the classroom, she looked at Huang Huiling and tried to speak in a gentle tone:
"Huiling, don't talk to me during class anymore."
Huang Huiling pouted, looking somewhat dissatisfied, and said in a drawn-out tone, "I know."
