Chapter 117 Punishment
Just when Zhang Wei thought she could spend the weekend leisurely, Grandma Mia suddenly called everyone to a meeting.
"I think you all read the dormitory rules before entering this dormitory."
Grandma Mia said with a serious face.
Zhang Wei really didn't notice this. Did someone violate it?
"Now I will report on the violations of dormitory rules in Excellence Building this week."
All she could think of was that Alia didn't turn off the lights, but seeing how serious Grandma Mia was, she felt that things were not that simple.
The results included that several people did not clear the dishes on the first day, Butch and Queenie had a quarrel, and Alia and Hayat went up to the attic. When talking about this, Hayat and the others looked at Alia in surprise, obviously knowing that she had inadvertently overheard it, so their faces looked very ugly.
And Zhang Wei was not spared either. She made a phone call, but electronic communication devices could only be used on Sunday afternoons.
Just like that, all of them broke the dormitory rules.
As punishment, they had to copy the dormitory rules ten times and clean the campus at six o'clock every morning for a month.
This punishment made everyone gasp. It meant that everyone had to get up at least at 5:30 every day. Moreover, it had been raining more frequently recently and the weather had become colder. Sometimes one had to be careful not to get their clothes wet when going to class.
After the fall, there are a lot of fallen leaves on the ground, and it rains, so it feels very difficult just thinking about it.
"That's all I have to say. The punishment will start tomorrow. By the way—"
Everyone was about to put on a depressed face, but Grandma Mia added:
"I forgot to tell you, even if only one person breaks the dorm rules, you all must be punished together. You're taking advantage this time. Remember to hand in the copied dorm rules to my office within three days!"
Zhang Wei: There is no need to calculate so clearly. Violating one rule is the same as violating ten rules. If we have to say who took advantage, it is probably Alia and Butch, because they both violated two rules.
Looking at these 12 people, Zhang Wei was afraid that he would have to sweep the floor until the end of the semester...
The weekend was ruined. Zhang Wei was woken up by the alarm clock at 5:30 in a daze. He got up with his eyes closed and washed his face with cold water before he was completely awake.
Before going downstairs, Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, but still knocked on everyone's door on the second floor a few times to remind them. Who knows if they would be punished for being late.
Finally, I waited for everyone in the living room on the first floor, who were still sleepy. It was still dark and raining outside, so everyone put on raincoats and started cleaning.
It was only this time that Zhang Wei realized how big the girls' school was. Fortunately, there were quite a few of them, and it took them nearly two hours to walk from the school gate on the east side to the dividing wall between the school and the boys' school on the west side.
"Too slow, this won't do!" Queenie said irritably, smoothing her wet blonde hair on her forehead with her hand.
"It's really too slow. Some people have already come out and it won't be good if they are seen by the people in that big dormitory." Hayat found it difficult to maintain her image as a gentle sister and rarely expressed her opinions.
When they discussed other students, they used the big dormitory to refer to them because all the other girls lived there.
Zhang Wei also agreed with this point. When the school started, everyone was not familiar with each other. Although other students were a little jealous or envious of them, and they could intimidate them with their own abilities, small groups would form as time went on, and the small groups over there were obviously not very friendly to them.
Like Eugenie, she has become quite famous and you often see several people with her, but Jenny is no longer seen by her side.
From her state in cricket class, it can be seen that Jenny is not having a very good time and seems to be isolated.
Even though Eugenie made a fool of herself during the cricket class that day, there were still so many people surrounding her. She must have some status. After all, it is human nature to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, they must protect their reputation to make them fear them. After all, Zhang Wei does not have a strong background like them, and as a foreigner, she is still relatively weak in the UK.
She still had ideals and goals, and couldn't let these trivial matters affect her studies. So Zhang Wei, like her other roommates, took a cautious approach and then offered some advice:
"How about this? It's hard to speed up the cleaning process right away. How about we clean the dormitories and teaching buildings first, and then the library and the sports field last?"
"Okay, we should arrange for someone to take turns waking him up. We've waited for Butch for too long today." Tracy frowned and looked at Butch.
Butch lowered his head at this time: "I accidentally turned off the alarm clock..."
If Zhang Wei hadn't knocked on the door, she would probably have been even later. But at this moment, she didn't say anything. Zhang Wei didn't care whether she appreciated it or not. They were forced to act as a whole, and there was nothing they could do about it.
After cleaning for a week, they finally figured out the pattern. When it rains, it takes them all at least an hour and a half to finish cleaning. When it doesn't rain, it only takes half an hour, and this is even when some people are very slow.
After realizing this problem, Zhang Wei tried to find a way to be lazy. However, she was really sleepy during the day and had to do a lot of exercise, especially in the first class in the afternoon. This was not going to work. She didn't even have the energy for physical education class.
I have to finish my homework at night, and sometimes I don’t go to bed until after 10 o’clock. It’s really too much to get up at 5:30.
Because she could not tolerate falling behind in studies, Zhang Wei began to propose dividing the area for cleaning.
Some people are too slow, like Tracy and Hayat, the princesses, who are too slow to waste time with them.
Originally, Zhang Wei thought that when it wasn't raining, they could take turns cleaning, but when he saw that no one was willing to do so, he knew that the idea was ruined.
When Zhang Wei suggested cleaning in different areas, everyone on the second floor raised their hands, and then Tracy also raised her hand. With more than half of the votes, the proposal took effect.
Then came the assignment of cleaning areas. No one wanted to be assigned to the large dormitory. Zhang Wei actually didn't think it mattered, because there weren't many trees here and cleaning would be very quick. However, everyone suggested drawing lots, so they did.
Finally she went back to the stadium, which was also a good place with fewer trees.
Then everyone has to promise together to finish the cleaning as required and will never hold everyone back.
After the distribution, the efficiency was indeed much higher, and Zhang Wei finished cleaning in about twenty minutes.
She was just about to go back for a nap, but then she thought that going back so early might have been too obvious, and in Grandma Mia's eyes, she lacked team spirit, so she decided to find a place to take a nap.
I was afraid of oversleeping, so I found a place with few people and close to the ringing broadcast - the laboratory building.
When Zhang Wei came to do the experiment before, she made a mistake once. There was a teacher's office that was empty and not locked. This time she pushed the door open and found that it was indeed not locked.
There was a sofa inside. Zhang Wei dusted it off a little, lay down and fell asleep immediately because she was so sleepy. However, she was destined to have a restless sleep.
