Chapter 68: The Price of Friendship
The question Zheng Ruyue asked was exactly what everyone else in the class was curious about.
Zhou Xiaoli is usually carefree, but at this moment she was careful. Seeing that Hang Jingshu looked a little embarrassed, she asked directly, "What's the matter? Do you want to go play with her?"
It was quiet at noon, but after Zhou Xiaoli said this, everyone's attention was focused here.
"Xiaoli, it's okay," Hang Jingshu gently pulled Zhou Xiaoli's arm, motioning her to let him speak.
Lin Xiao also knew Zheng Ruyue's character, and whispered to Hang Jingshu: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Don't pay attention to her."
Compared to Li Yufang, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, Zheng Ruyue was obviously more feared by the two men.
Although she looks gentle and weak, with her hair neatly combed behind her head and her eyes always slightly downward when looking at people, she is the standard good girl image in everyone's mind.
Compared with Zhou Xiaoli, who has short hair that hangs over her ears, and Lin Xiao, who has a high ponytail, she looks even more charming.
After Zhou Xiaoli asked this, Zheng Ruyue seemed even more aggrieved. She lowered her head, pinched her fingers and stopped talking.
Hang Jingshu looked at Zheng Ruyue calmly: "My family has no connections. My parents are ordinary farmers."
How is that possible!
There are children from rural areas in the school. They either live in the school and work part-time to earn money to study, or Teacher Cai will apply for tuition and miscellaneous fee reductions for them. How can they walk to school every day?
In fact, if you pay attention to Hang Jingshu's route, it is not difficult to guess that there are various large compounds around the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and she is definitely not an ordinary person!
Not only Zheng Ruyue opened her mouth in disbelief, but even Zhou Xiaoli and others found it hard to believe.
Because Xiaohang doesn't look like a country boy, no matter how he dresses or how he talks.
It is easy to tell what a family's conditions are these days. In addition to simple clothing, rural children also have simple living conditions. Apart from fixed school supplies, they often use two bars of soap, one for washing their face and hair, and one for taking a bath and washing clothes.
It is also very common to use laundry detergent to wash your hair.
Hang Jingshu often has a faint scent of shampoo on him, and he wore a red hairpin two days ago. How could he be an ordinary farmer?
Hang Jingshu was unwilling to reveal the relationship with the Yan family, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with being a farmer.
Although non-agricultural household registration is popular now and one can transfer his/her household registration when applying for university, in the future, it will be a luxury to have a small rural yard of one’s own and to eat the grains and vegetables grown at home, right?
Class monitor Wang Chongyun stepped in at the right time to help: "Hey, why are you arguing about this? We have been classmates for so long, and what is precious is our friendship. Instead of being curious about Xiaohang's family conditions, why not ask her more questions!"
"Who would still be dissatisfied after the monthly exam papers are out? I'll say this in advance. I was the first to speak, so I'm the first to ask questions!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was instantly focused on the test paper.
Other people’s family affairs are none of my business, but your grades are very important to me.
Facing Wang Chongyun who was rushing towards him with the test paper, Hang Jingshu blinked at him gratefully.
Thank you, you are such a nice person.
The study time in the third year of high school is precious and tight. As soon as the results of this month's exam came out, Teacher Cai became very anxious and was in a bad mood in the English classes for several days in a row.
After school, Zhou Xiaoli buried her face in her English textbook and raised her arms feebly: "Xiao Hang, in this situation, only you and Lin Xiao can help me!!!"
Hang Jingshu and Lin Xiao, who were packing their books, smiled at each other, and walked over at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, to help Zhou Xiaoli, who was lying on the table.
Hang Jingshu knew that Zhou Xiaoli’s English was not very good, and she had worked very hard to catch up in the past few days.
She whispered to Zhou Xiaoli, "It's okay. Let's go buy some hairpins tomorrow. If we buy more together, we can get a discount."
Zhou Xiaoli and Lin Xiao, who was supporting her, both brightened up when they heard Hang Jingshu say this.
"Then I have to take out the pocket money I've saved for a long time!" Zhou Xiaoli instantly perked up and no longer needed two people to support her. She immediately started packing her schoolbag in high spirits.
The next morning, Hang Jingshu prepared cabbage and meat buns, pan-fried buns, and golden and soft pumpkin and millet porridge for the two elderly people.
Served with the pickled cucumber with reduced salt, the two elderly people were very satisfied.
After packing up, Hang Jingshu rode his bicycle out, first went to the post office to pick up the letter sent back by his third brother, and then sent out the manuscript he had written.
After finishing these things, it was time as agreed yesterday.
Hang Jingshu met several female classmates led by Zhou Xiaoli at the intersection. Zhou Xiaoli wore a goose-yellow sweater with a blue woolen coat, which is the most popular now. She turned around and said to Hang Jingshu beautifully: "Am I beautiful?"
Seeing her proud look, Hang Jingshu also agreed: "Beautiful, of course beautiful, but her hair lacks a beautiful headband!"
Lin Xiao also said: "Let's go for a good stroll today!"
But when I got there, I found that the place where I bought the card was already packed with people!
Wang Silan and Hang Renshan worked together seamlessly, one holding the mirror to recommend products while the other collected the money with peace of mind.
This is really true. I am too busy collecting money.
Zhou Xiaoli and a few others were afraid that they would not be able to buy it, so they also squeezed in to choose.
The goods on sale this time are the last batch. The satin bow hairpins come in red and pink, as well as small plexiglass hairpins and colorful hair ties, all of which are in great demand.
And now everyone has a hand towel, whether it is used to wipe the face and sweat, or to wrap money, it can be said to be a must-have at home or when traveling.
Wang Silan found the young lady in her busy schedule, but she didn't even have the chance to wave to her as she was busy collecting money.
After the trial-and-wear craze had passed, Zhou Xiaoli and others were able to select the products they liked.
When it was time to settle the bill, Hang Jingshu came over and said to Wang Silan with a smile: "Mom, these are all my classmates, you have to give them a discount!"
Wang Silan was a little surprised, but she quickly responded, "No problem, take your pick, any one you like is cheap!"
Zhou Xiaoli and the others were confused by the amount of information that was thrown at them, especially Zhou Xiaoli, who was holding a pink headband in her hand and asked in surprise: "Xiao Hang, is this your stall?"
Doing business now is not something shameful, Hang Jingshu admitted without any psychological burden: "Yes, so I can guarantee that all of you are offering friendly prices."
