Chapter 162: Ten-year agreement

Songshan High School.

As the sky in the east began to turn pale, Deng Yunheng, who had been sitting on the grass and chatting with his classmates all night, knew that the time for farewell had come.

He stood up and cleared his throat, then said in a hoarse voice: "Classmates, it's already daybreak. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. It's time for us to say goodbye. You must be hungry after sitting all night. I'll treat you all to a bowl of noodles as our graduation dinner."

A more attentive female classmate said, "Mr. Deng, you are inviting so many classmates to eat noodles, it will cost a lot of money, why don't we all chip in together, those who have money can pay more, those who don't have money can pay less, it will be much easier if we share it."

Another female classmate echoed, "You're right, Mr. Deng, there's strength in numbers, let's just pool our money and go eat!"

After hearing what the two female classmates said, some of the classmates looked unnatural, because they didn't have a penny on them now.

We are all young people and no one wants to lose face in front of classmates, but we don’t have a penny, which is very annoying.

Fortunately, Deng Yunheng understood everyone. He smiled and said, "It's okay. You don't have to pool money. Many classmates know that my family's living conditions are not bad. My father gave me a lot of money when I went home before the college entrance examination, so that I could have a good gathering with my classmates after the exam. So you don't have to worry about being a burden to me by doing this."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the male classmates who shared the dormitory with Deng Yunheng nodded.

When he was in the first year of high school, Deng Yunheng's food standards were on the same level as theirs. The main dish was stir-fried dried radish, and occasionally some additional vegetables.

But things changed completely after his second year of high school. Deng Yunheng's food standards became higher and higher, from eating meat once or twice a week, to eating meat every day, and then to eating whatever he wanted. The change really shocked all his classmates.

Of course, correspondingly, Deng Yunheng's academic performance also improved by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that many male classmates nodded in agreement, the female classmates in the class realized that Deng Yunheng not only had good academic performance, but also had a very good family background.

So the female classmates stopped insisting and the group walked towards the noodle stall on the street in a mighty procession.

When we arrived at a noodle stall on the street, the boss was busy cutting pork liver and lean meat, and the boss's wife was tearing apart the noodles that were stuck together.

Seeing so many students coming over, the proprietress' eyes lit up, and she immediately greeted them warmly: "Dear students, would you like to eat noodles?"

Deng Yunheng asked, "Madam Boss, there are 42 of us in total. Is the pork liver and lean meat you prepared enough?"

The boss who was cutting pork liver and lean meat said with a smile: "Don't worry, students, I have enough pork liver and lean meat."

The lady boss also said with a smile on her face: "Yes, please rest assured, we have plenty of pork liver and lean meat here. How much do you want to eat per bowl?"

Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Okay, then give us 42 bowls of noodles, 50 cents a bowl, and make sure to give us enough pork liver and lean meat."

"What?"

The proprietress's eyes almost popped out when she heard this, and she asked in disbelief: "Student, you... tell me again, how much do you want per bowl?"

The boss almost cut his hand off and looked at Deng Yunheng in shock, totally unable to believe what he had just heard.

Deng Yunheng's classmates were not much better off. They were all stunned.

A bowl of noodles at 5 cents can be considered a super luxurious set meal in this era. It is extremely rare to order a bowl of noodles just for the sake of eating noodles. Generally, only customers who come to the noodle stall to drink will order such expensive noodles.

It is so rare to order a bowl of noodles at this price, and now Deng Yunheng actually ordered 42 bowls. It would be strange if the boss couple and all the classmates were not shocked.

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "We want 5 cents a bowl, boss, that should be okay, right?"

The reason why he ordered such an expensive noodle was that he wanted to put a perfect end to his high school days.

After two years of school life, he naturally knew his classmates' family conditions. He couldn't help much before, but now that they had graduated, he could still treat everyone to a bowl of more expensive noodles.

Moreover, Deng Yunheng was sure that this bowl of noodles would leave a very deep impression on all the students.

Even after another twenty or thirty years, whenever classmates think back to their high school days, I’m sure this bowl of noodles will be the one fond memory they can’t help but mention.

This time the boss and his wife understood and both said it was no problem.

Then, the couple got busy with full motivation. The boss sped up the cutting of pork liver and lean meat. The boss's wife started to cook noodles while apologetically saying, "Dear students, I'm so sorry. I have limited tables and chairs here. I'm afraid I can't seat so many people at once."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we can take care of it ourselves. Madam boss, just focus on cooking the noodles. Just make it taste better and put in enough pork liver and lean meat."

The proprietress nodded repeatedly and then concentrated on cooking the noodles.

Deng Yunheng then called out to the students, "There are limited tables and chairs here. The female students can sit down, and the male students can just stand."

At this time, all the students finally came back to their senses from their shock, and looked at Deng Yunheng, not knowing what to say.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Before, when Deng Yunheng said he would treat his classmates to noodles, all the classmates agreed that they wanted noodles that cost 3 to 5 cents a bowl. Even so, the attentive female classmates suggested that everyone chip in, as they were afraid that Deng Yunheng would feel too much pressure to pay alone.

But who would have thought that Deng Yunheng would start by offering a bowl of noodles for 5 cents, which was really beyond the students' expectations.

A bowl costs 5 cents, which means 21 yuan for 42 people.

Among the students here, there are definitely no more than three whose parents earn more than 21 yuan a month. You can imagine how huge a sum of money this is.

The students of this generation have an understanding of money that cannot be compared to those students in later generations who have never experienced hardship.

So, after coming to their senses, the classmates began to persuade him: "Deng Yunheng, there is no need to eat such expensive noodles. Having one for 18 cents is already a luxury."

"Yeah, a bowl of noodles costs 50 cents, that's really too extravagant!"

“…”

Deng Yunheng waved his hand and said, "Classmates, it's just a bowl of noodles, don't worry about it. We have been classmates for two years. After today's separation, I don't know how many years it will take for us to meet again.

Here, I would like to make an agreement with all of you students.

Ten years later, no matter where we are, I hope that all of us in Class 34 can return to our alma mater and attend our first class reunion after graduation. I wonder if you can do it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly diverted the attention of all the students.

No one knows what kind of life they will experience after leaving here.

But at this moment, all the students have agreed to this ten-year promise. As for whether they can fulfill it by then, only God knows! (End of this chapter)
