Chapter 29: Everyone's face darkened.
The person in front of Wu Yuhong had their legs almost in a straight line, and they were reserving seats for five people.
In the summer, we only helped reserve seats for students to get food. But in the winter afternoons, students had to get both food and hot water.
Hot water is not available at all times at school; it is only available between 5:00 and 5:30.
There are only five or six hot water taps, located outside the canteen kitchen.
Nobody wants to take a cold shower in the dead of winter.
There's only so much hot water, and the flow is very limited; it's first come, first served.
Having good friends at this time would make things much better.
The two divided the work, one was responsible for getting the food and the other for getting the water, so that neither of them missed a beat.
The first day of school is followed by the weekend.
Students didn't have to go home or attend classes on weekends; they only needed to attend two evening self-study sessions on Sunday nights. This made a large group of students so happy that they screamed and played wildly at school for two days.
Shen Xuewei's life at Mingda Elementary School gradually got back on track.
With so many people living in the same dormitory, occasional minor conflicts are inevitable, but they don't have much of an impact on her.
She focused her studies on English, diligently building a solid foundation, and promptly asking her teacher any questions she had.
Ms. Lin is young and gentle, but because she is too gentle, some naughty students will cause trouble in class.
At first, she would get so angry that her face would turn red, and she would be punished by being made to stand in the corner and having her parents called in, before she could barely calm down.
Of all the students, her favorite was Shen Xuewei.
No teacher would dislike a well-behaved, motivated student who always listens attentively in class and achieves good grades.
At Mingda Elementary School, there is one computer class per week.
At that time, primary school students generally had little experience with computers.
Of course, although it's called a computer class, the teacher doesn't really teach much; in fact, the teacher even turns on the computer himself.
Because the school has a limited number of computers, two students share one computer during class.
If you arrive late, the computer you manage to snag might be broken.
These computers weren't originally purchased by the school.
One of the principal's relatives made some money and wanted to buy a better computer for the company.
Hearing rumors, the principal shamelessly went to his relatives' house and begged for these second-hand... or rather, who knows how many times they'd been used.
From then on, Mingda Elementary School began offering computer classes.
What do students usually use computers for in computer class?
That's right, it's playing video games.
Playing cards, playing connect-the-dots, playing match-3 games... and so on.
The teacher wouldn't say anything even if they saw it.
On the third day of school, Shen Xuewei met several classmates she had a good relationship with from Fuman Elementary School.
However, since the others were not in the same class as her and made more friends at Mingda Elementary School, their relationship gradually deteriorated.
However, if we happen to be in the same PE class, we'll play together for a while.
The physical education class for Shen Xuewei's class was taught by the math teacher.
She recalled a comment she used to make online when someone said someone was bad at math: "Did your math teacher teach you PE?"
In today's context, it wouldn't even be considered an insult.
When the bell rang again, the students didn't rush to the cafeteria, but to the school gate.
After classes ended on Friday, boarding students were finally able to leave school and go home.
Shen Xuewei only brought her English book home; for the other two subjects, she brought the homework assigned by the teachers.
She packed her things, then called Wu Yuhong to join her, and they walked towards the back gate of the school.
Mingda Elementary School has two gates: a front gate and a back gate.
The main gate leads directly to the main road, while the back gate leads to the town's residents and market area.
Every day, students on duty clean the school and the surrounding area.
Shen Xuewei's class was assigned to the area near the back gate of the school.
She once took advantage of the cleaning duty to sneak out for a walk and bought an electronic watch for five yuan.
Not being able to see the exact time at any time is somewhat inconvenient for her.
Going out the back door will get you to the market faster.
As previously agreed, Grandpa would wait for her by the roadside at the market every Friday.
Shen Xuewei and Wu Yuhong walked through the residential area and soon arrived at the market, where they could see Grandpa Chen standing on the side of the street in the distance.
Shen Xuewei pulled Wu Yuhong and ran over.
She skillfully hawked her wares on the street, and in about half an hour, she sold out the pile of vegetables in front of Grandpa Chen.
The vegetables, weighing about twenty kilograms, only sold for about ten yuan, barely enough to cover the round-trip travel expenses.
However, Grandpa Chen was quite satisfied... After all, if it weren't for Shen Xuewei's promotion, they might not have sold a single pound.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he was extremely happy inside. He put away the sacks and scales that were placed on the ground, and then took the two people to get on the tricycle.
After arriving at the location by car, it took more than an hour of walking along mountain roads before I finally made it home.
The Chen family members thought that Shen Xuewei must be having a hard time adjusting to living at school for the first time.
When the others came back and asked, they said everything was great, clearly they were very used to it.
She was able to adapt to living in the dormitory, which put the Chen family at ease.
Elementary school courses were of course not difficult for Shen Xuewei.
English, which she initially resisted, became less difficult under Ms. Lin's guidance from the beginning.
October has arrived.
Although Chen Fangyang had relayed Shen Xuewei's words to her beforehand, she still insisted on marrying Xu Zhiyuan.
Knowing that Shen Xuewei was very resistant to Xu Zhiyuan, he did not invite Shen Xuewei back when he held the banquet.
By the time Shen Xuewei returned from school for the holidays, Chen Fanglan had already been married for two days.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Xuewei was only stunned for a moment before returning to calm.
She had already tried to persuade them, but the person involved clearly wouldn't listen, so there was nothing she could do.
The Chen family members secretly observed Shen Xuewei and found that she did not show the extreme resistance she usually did. They all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had accepted her uncle.
When Shen Xuewei's mother, Chen Fangmin, and her second aunt, Chen Fangli, got married, the Chen family provided dowries.
Therefore, when it came to her aunt Chen Fanglan, the Chen family naturally wouldn't lack her dowry.
The dowry included bedding, sheets, pillows, wardrobes, dressing tables, and even a refrigerator.
It has been nine years since Chen Fanglan graduated from junior high school.
Over the past nine years, she has given Grandpa Chen and Grandma Xi money on and off.
However, neither of them used it; instead, they saved it.
Most of the money was used to buy the refrigerator, and the remaining two thousand yuan was given to Chen Fanglan just before her wedding.
The Chen family was poor, not as wealthy as the Xu family, but as parents, they didn't want their daughter to be looked down upon by her husband's family after marriage, so they did their best to give her the best they could.
After all three daughters got married, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she thought of her two sons at home, she began to worry again.
One is lazy, the other is arrogant, and neither of them has gotten married...
Since Chen Fangqiu lost interest in television, he has been away from home all day, leading a group of friends on various trips.
At home, Chen Fangyang, faced with his grandmother's urging to get married, would simply close his eyes and fall asleep, treating it as a lullaby.
Grandma Xi had no way to deal with his stubborn, unyielding attitude.
In the end, Grandpa Chen couldn't stand it anymore and forced him to go on a blind date.
When they got home, both of them had dark expressions on their faces.
The woman is unattractive and even has two children... Most importantly, she has a husband.
