Chapter 85
Cheng Yu whispered to Jian Li: "Did you bring it? I still need it for many days, so I didn't bring it."
Jian Li rummaged through the inner pocket of her schoolbag and said, "I brought it."
Although she still has many days left, as an adult, it has become a habit for Jian Li to put a sanitary napkin in her inner pocket.
A pink sanitary napkin was passed back and forth among the girls, and in the end, Jian Li didn't know who borrowed it from.
But Jian Li didn't care, it was just a sanitary napkin.
Because of the rain in the afternoon, the military training was suspended, and the class teacher, Mr. Jiang, naturally "requisitioned" the afternoon time.
"We are going to have a class meeting today."
The students sighed in unison.
Originally I could have used it as a self-study class, but now I suddenly have to hold a class meeting...
Teacher Jiang smiled and said, "Come on, move the table away."
Everyone was confused and watched Teacher Jiang instructing how to pull the tables. Soon everyone pulled the tables into a square, leaving a large open space in the middle.
Teacher Jiang also called two boys to go to the office to get something: "There are three bags under my desk. Bring them all over."
The two boys went away for a short while and came back with excited looks on their faces.
Teacher Jiang raised his chin and said, "Give each table one point."
Three big bags were opened, one bag of melon seeds, one bag of sugar, and another bag of peanuts.
Cheng Yu was bubbling with excitement: "There's food!"
The Provincial Experimental School is worthy of being a Provincial Experimental School, the teachers are so generous!
Jian Li thought, of course, her aunt Ge Yaqin is a teacher at the Provincial Experimental School, and she had revealed in her previous life that the teachers at the Provincial Experimental School were paid the highest in the city. Not only was the salary high, but later, as the reputation of the Provincial Experimental School gradually surpassed that of No. 1 Middle School, parents kept giving gifts and entertaining the school, and the school couldn't handle it, so it simply opened a preparatory international class to accept students from well-off families who were preparing to go abroad, and the curriculum was also differentiated from that of ordinary classes.
But that's all after the Olympics.
In the current provincial experiment, teachers do not accept gifts very often.
You want to ask how Jian Li knew that?
Isn't this Cheng Yu's own personal experience?
If Cheng Yu hadn't had an older brother who ranked among the top three in the province, she wouldn't have been able to get into the key class.
However, within just a few days after entering the key class, Cheng Yu still received some strange looks.
There is no other way. Those who can enter the key classes are all the best in their original schools. When these "test paper kings" meet each other, they will inevitably inquire about each other's high school entrance examination results.
With her grades up to this point, Jian Li barely made it into the top 20 in the class.
As Teacher Jiang distributed food, everyone immediately became excited. Teacher Jiang's so-called class meeting was really like a meeting.
He moved a stool and sat in the middle, and instantly made the students feel that the teacher was equal to them.
"The selection of squad leaders was originally planned to be held after military training, but today we have time, and I welcome everyone to take this opportunity to campaign for themselves."
After Teacher Jiang finished speaking, he waited for more than ten seconds but no one responded. Even if someone wanted to be the class monitor, it would not be a good time to speak up.
Teacher Jiang glanced around with hopeful eyes, and the few students who had previously signed up to be "rotating class monitors" all lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Then..."
Teacher Jiang was just about to say that since no one was canvassing for votes, we could talk about it later.
Just when everyone was shy, someone raised his hand.
"Teacher, I want to be the class monitor!"
Teacher Jiang was delighted: "Okay, then let's welcome Wu Feiran!"
Wu Feiran was chubby, with short hair and glasses on her nose. Encouraged by Teacher Jiang, she stood in front.
"Hello everyone, my name is Wu Feiran, and I went to No. 14 Middle School. During junior high school, I joined the school radio studio and served as the editor of the school newspaper..."
After Wu Feiran finished speaking, Teacher Jiang led the applause.
"Are there any other students who want to show their skills?"
With the first person taking the lead, several others soon followed suit.
Wu Feiran worked at the radio station and the school newspaper, and the others also had impressive resumes. They either had a certain dan in Go or had participated in some competitions.
Jian Li was a little surprised, but soon accepted it.
Who can say that key classes are full of nerds?
Most of the students in the provincial experimental key classes come from well-off families. Under such circumstances, it is normal for them to have a few outstanding talents.
As the atmosphere was heated up by the students in front, Teacher Jiang then suggested that everyone play games.
Grab the stool, and whoever doesn't grab the stool has to perform a show.
The flower is passed around while beating drums. Whoever gets the flower sings a song.
Later, there was an idiom chain game, and those who couldn't continue had to perform too.
Soon, everyone was immersed in a sea of joy.
The singers were all out of tune, but there were two boys who sang Xu Xiaofeng's "Season of Wind" confidently. They sang the Cantonese version quite well and stole the show.
Everyone was having a great time, but then two people came and took the game to a higher level, and other students with special talents also started to show off their talents.
Someone took out a harmonica from the table and played "An Evening on the outskirts of Moscow".
There was also a person who demonstrated a martial arts move, but he didn't perform it well and almost fell on the nearest table. He had to do it again and then finished the move with a red face.
…
Jian Li and Cheng Yu sat aside, just eating and clapping, and then Jian Li was called out as expected.
The rules of the new round of the game are that the winner can designate a classmate to perform.
The boy who won the competition pointed at Jian Li with red ears and said, "Please let Jian Li perform."
Jian Li: ...
Well, she stood up, found a piece of chalk, and scribbled a few strokes on the blackboard at the back. Soon, she drew a bunch of flowers. The flowers were nothing special. The most important thing was that Jian Li drew a few bubbles next to the flowers.
She used several different colors of chalk to outline the colorful bubbles in the sunlight, and due to the visual distortion, they looked like real bubbles.
When Jian Li finished her painting, there was thunderous applause.
Teacher Jiang was very excited and praised her generously: "Student Jian Li's painting is very good!"
He is truly a blackboard newspaper genius!
Jian Li: ...It seems a little bad.
The premonition came true. Teacher Jiang said: "I suggest that Jian Li be appointed as the Arts Committee Member!"
In addition to organizing activities, the main task of the Arts and Literature Committee is to make bulletin boards.
After Jian Li showed off her skill, everyone in the class agreed and supported her.
Teacher Jiang: "Student Jian Li, are you willing to be a member of the Arts Committee?"
Jian Li smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, I don't sing well."
It would be fine if she could only paint, but she is really not good at singing.
Teacher Jiang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You can ask other students who are good at singing to help you."
What I mean is that I still hope Jian Li will take over the job of making the blackboard newspaper.
Helplessly, Jian Li could only nod vaguely.
Cheng Yu was envious: "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have studied art too."
What a great display of art.
Jian Li was a little confused: "What did you study?"
Cheng Yu: "I learned the clarinet."
That's a little hard to show.
Cheng Yu gloated over the misfortune: "Do you know what my brother is studying?"
Jian Li: "What did you learn?"
In Cheng Yu's mouth, Jian Li has already portrayed the image of Cheng Yu's brother.
A big, stupid brother who is good at studying, mean, and always comes up with great ideas.
Putting aside the fact that he was admitted to a top university, this is simply the image of every brother in the world in the eyes of his sister.
Jian Li was indeed very curious about what special skills the other person would learn.
Cheng Yu covered his mouth and said, "He learned to play the pipa."
Jian Li: ...
It is hard to imagine what it would be like to see a strong man playing the pipa.
A bearded man wearing Chinese clothes suddenly appeared in Jian Li's mind, and she played "Spring River Moon Night" with deep affection...
This class meeting lasted the whole afternoon, and by the time school was over, everyone had an idea of who would be the class leader.
Games can best reflect a person's character. Teacher Jiang easily figured out the tempers of everyone in the class, and then happily announced that the first class meeting was a great success.
When Jian Li returned home, she ran into Jian Feng who had not been home for several days.
Jian Feng, Xiao Shi and Xiao Meng went to Kui County this time. They brought some sundries. Xiao Shi found the cargo head. He had learned from the previous Spring Festival. Every time he went to the county or town below, he would find some small local factories and take some unsold goods.
At best, they were defective products, like washbasins and teacups from enamel factories. Minor flaws would not affect their use at all, so they could fill a truckload and not even have to be rushed to the market. With the help of Jian Feng's connections, he could sell them to small vendors who specialized in collecting the products, and they could fetch a few hundred yuan each.
When they came back, both trucks were loaded with dried vegetables and goods. Kong Guorong only wanted the expensive ones, such as dried sea cucumbers and some golden hook dried shrimps, which were sold in the store. As for the rest, such as dried beans and potatoes, Jian Feng and his friends found a place to sell them. It took them two days to sell out all the goods.
After this trip, the three of them each got 700 to 800 yuan.
Jian Feng was in a good mood after earning the money. When he heard that his daughter had become a class leader, he took out fifty yuan from his wallet as a reward.
Of course Jian Li was happy to make money, and she covered her nose as she took the money.
"Dad, you stink. Go take a shower!"
Jian Feng was driving, moving things, and smoking the whole time, so he did smell.
Seeing his daughter's disgusted look, Jian Feng suddenly became mean and threw his coat on his daughter's head, then laughed.
Jian Li threw her coat off angrily: "It stinks!"
****
After a week of military training, Jian Li officially entered high school life.
Just after class that day, she heard someone calling her outside.
"Jian Li, someone is looking for you!"
As Jian Li walked out of the classroom, she saw her smiling aunt Ge Yaqin.
"Xiao Li, have you been having a hard time recently? Are you still able to adapt to your studies?"
