Chapter 86
Jian Li had a good impression of this girl, so when she saw Ge Yaqin, she happily expressed that she had adapted well to the new semester.
The high school life, which is completely different from her previous life, makes Jian Li feel happy every day.
Ge Yaqin has a square face and eyes very similar to Jian Feng. After hearing Jian Li's answer, Ge Yaqin pointed to the end of the fourth floor.
"That's my office. I'm teaching English to the regular class this year. If you have any questions, remember to ask me."
Ge Yaqin touched Jian Li's head and said, "Xiaoqi is also in the key class. You two are in Class One and Class Two respectively. I am really happy for you."
Jian Li didn't know that Ge Qi was also participating in the provincial experiment, and her eyes widened when she heard this.
Ge Yaqin was amused by her behavior: "Okay, wait for my aunt to talk to Ge Qi, and I will take you to the teacher's cafeteria for dinner tomorrow."
Speaking of eating, Jian Li's attention immediately shifted.
The Provincial Experimental School has three canteens. Canteen 1 and Canteen 2 are for students. Canteen 3 is smaller, only half the size of Canteen 1, but it is the school’s teachers’ canteen. You cannot enter without a teacher’s meal card.
"Yes, yes."
Ge Yaqin looked at Jian Li's happy face, but felt deeply moved.
My eldest brother has not come to our house for the New Year since last year, which has caused the brothers and sisters to have less contact. They were so close when they were young, but now it seems like there is a layer of distance between them...
Ge Yaqin: "Go back to class. Remember to come to see your aunt if you have any problems at school."
Jian Li nodded.
When Ge Yaqin returned to the office, one of her colleagues asked her, "Didn't you say your nephew was in Class 2? Why is he in Class 1 now?"
Ge Yaqin sat down on the chair and said, "The one in Class 1 is my niece."
"Wow, your niece and nephew are all in the key classes, but you chose to teach the regular class this year?"
Ge Yaqin had a good relationship with this colleague, and seeing that there was no one else in the office, Ge Yaqin simply stopped hiding it.
"It's because you two are here that I won't teach the key classes."
Ge Yaqin said with a bitter face: "The situation in my family is very complicated. My niece's father, my eldest brother, is not our biological father. Now both children are in the key class. If I go to teach them, I will be criticized if I show partiality to one of them."
Ge Yaqin's elder brother took care of her for several years, and she always remembers his kindness.
The third brother became the attending physician at the city hospital, and Ge Yaqin became more familiar with Ge Qi.
It would be fine if Jian Li was in a regular class, but Jian Li did so well in the high school entrance exam that she was sent to a key class.
Now Ge Yaqin didn't know what to do.
I simply avoided going to the regular class and no one taught me. I would take my two children to the teachers' cafeteria whenever I had time, and give them guidance if anyone had any problems. This would not give me a bad reputation.
Ge Yaqin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Tell me, is it difficult for me?"
When my colleague heard this, he agreed very much: "That's right. As a married woman, your husband's family has a lot of problems, and your own family is also so complicated. It's better to avoid it."
…
The next day, Ge Yaqin really came to find Jian Li and Ge Qi, and took them to the teachers' cafeteria.
Ge Yaqin had 50 yuan in food expenses per month, which was a subsidy from the school to all teachers. If she couldn't finish it, she would keep adding it up. Ge Yaqin used to go home at noon to breastfeed her child, so she had several hundred yuan in her account.
"Take whatever you want to eat."
The teachers' cafeteria looked cleaner than the students' cafeteria. Even the meals were cooked in small pots. Jian Li was overwhelmed by the choices and chose chestnut chicken and pork ribs with preserved vegetables, and also ordered a bowl of seaweed and egg soup.
The soup in the student cafeteria is free. It is a big bucket of watery tomato and egg soup, and the egg drops are pitifully small.
It doesn't look like the teachers' cafeteria at all, even the soup is made individually.
Jian Li ate the spare ribs with great satisfaction, while Ge Qi took a portion of sweet and sour pork and a portion of scrambled eggs with cucumber and ate them quietly.
After eating a few bites, Ge Yaqin started chatting with the two of them, and the topic gradually shifted from study to family.
Ge Yaqin asked Ge Qi if his father and mother were busy.
Ge Qi wore glasses and swallowed the food in his mouth before answering: "My father is busy writing his thesis recently, and my mother often goes there to be on duty."
Ge Changyuan has been working for more than ten years and is about to be promoted to associate senior position, so he has been so busy recently that he hardly goes home.
Ge Yaqin hurriedly asked Ge Qi what he would do if he was eating and drinking alone at home.
Ge Qi: "My parents found me a part-time worker."
I don't have to worry about breakfast. I will clean the house and cook dinner in the afternoon. Five days a week, which solves the problem of Ge Qi going home every night.
Ge Yaqin: "What about the weekend?"
Ge Qi: "I can do it myself on the weekend."
Ge Yaqin felt distressed when she heard this: "Why bother? I'll tell your grandma, if you want to go to her on the weekend, you can go. If you don't want to go, let your grandma cook for you."
Anyway, Huang Guihua is now free at home, and Ge Ming is in a juvenile detention center and will not be released until next year.
When Huang Guihua was mentioned, Ge Qi stopped talking. Only then did Ge Yaqin realize that Jian Li was also there.
She asked with a dry smile whether Jian Li's parents were busy.
Jian Li tilted her head and thought about it. Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng have been very busy recently.
Wang Mengmei comes home at noon and evening every day, while Jian Feng often comes home in the middle of the night.
Every time she returned home, it was Wang Facai who greeted Jian Li.
Then Jian Li would go walk the dog, then go to the store for dinner, and then go home to do her homework.
Oh, and there are also two activities: feeding the dog and picking up poop.
Ge Yaqin was not familiar with Jian Li's life. When she heard Jian Li mention Wang Facai, she thought he was a person. Later she realized he was a dog.
"...You go home and play with the dog every day?"
Ge Yaqin disagreed a little: "Your parents should also pay more attention to your studies. The three years of high school are crucial. They can't just focus on making money."
Ge Yaqin knew that her elder brother had been laid off, but even so, she still had some complaints about Jian Feng's choice to be a driver.
If you work for a private boss and go out early and come back late every day, what should you do if you miss your children?
As for my sister-in-law Wang Mengmei, it’s fine for her to open a shop, but it’s too much to open it so late at night and leave the children alone at home.
Ge Yaqin gave Jian Li a piece of braised pork with a distressed look on her face. "You...you should go back and talk to your mother about it. If it really doesn't work out, you can apply to live on campus."
In principle, the provincial experiment does not require students to live on campus, but the school still set aside a small building with more than 20 dormitories to accommodate some students who must live on campus.
If you want to live on campus, you must apply first and then pay the accommodation fee.
Ge Yaqin: "If you want to live on campus, don't worry about it being too late. I can help you apply for it at the school."
Jian Li waved her hands when she heard this: "I don't live on campus."
Ge Yaqin said anxiously: "You kid..."
Jian Li finished her meal in a few bites: "Aunt, I'm going back first!"
Ge Yaqin was still shouting from behind: "Remember to go back and ask!"
Jian Li ran away quickly, determined not to come to the teachers' cafeteria again.
…
Jian Li returned to the classroom and Cheng Yu asked her if the food in the teachers' cafeteria was delicious.
Jian Li thought about it and said, "It's OK."
Not as delicious as her mother's cooking.
The preserved vegetable spareribs were too oily, and the chestnuts in the chestnut braised chicken were not chewy enough.
Jian Li is more tolerant of snacks, but she has an extremely picky tongue when it comes to home-cooked meals.
Cheng Yu cried a few times, then pulled Jian Li to ask her questions.
It wasn't until Jian Li said she wanted to read that Cheng Yu calmed down and picked up the book.
In less than half an hour, Cheng Yu fell asleep...
Jian Li was really impressed by Cheng Yu's sleeping ability. It had only been a short time since school started, but Cheng Yu had already started taking naps anywhere.
I sleep after self-study in the morning, sleep after self-study in the evening, sleep during the lunch break, and sleep during class.
Jian Li also asked her why she was so sleepy, and Cheng Yu's answer was -
"I feel sleepy when I listen to physics and chemistry teachers."
Such a boring theorem and such a dull process are simply a hypnotic weapon!
Jian Li shook her head and sighed, then pushed the person awake.
"The bell has rung, class is about to start!"
The lunch break is particularly short, and the ten minutes in the middle are also a reminder for students to wash their faces in order to prepare for the afternoon classes.
Cheng Yu went to wash his face and came back with a gossipy look on his face.
"Xiao Li, do you know that our class is selecting the most beautiful and handsome boy in the class?"
Jian Li flipped through the book: "I don't know."
But it's not surprising at all.
Aren’t those little thoughts that arise during adolescence expressed through these things?
She comes here once a year, she's used to it!
Cheng Yu: "Aren't you curious about who you are competing with?"
Jian Li: “Not curious.”
Cheng Yu snorted: "Don't be like an old man, without any vitality. Come on, guess it!"
Jian Li closed the book and said, "It's not that I don't want to guess, it's just that I haven't recognized all the faces in our class yet!"
She has a slight face blindness. She can remember people's names very quickly, but she just can't match the names with their faces.
So when Cheng Yu said "Lin Shuyao", Jian Li was the first to think that the person corresponding to this name was a transfer student from out of town.
Cheng Yu: "You remember that she transferred to another school, but you can't remember what she looks like?"
Jian Li nodded. She really had no impression at all.
Cheng Yu was convinced and quietly pointed to the front row.
"Third row, window seat."
Jian Li followed the guidance and saw a girl with long flowing hair.
Long straight black hair, with a thin layer on the shoulders.
Just seeing her profile can already give you the impression that she has an outstanding temperament.
Cheng Yu: "Lin Shuyao, she is the candidate chosen by the boys in the class to compete with you for the title of class beauty!"
Jian Li: "Do they know they have to compete with me...Okay, okay, I know."
Cheng Yu clenched his fists: "I don't think she's as pretty as you."
Jian Li: "Hey, hey, hey, aesthetics is a very subjective thing, okay?"
Cheng Yu: "Do you know what nickname the boys gave her? Lin Meimei!"
Jian Li: ...
"Originally this title was meant for you, but you're too...healthy."
Jian Li has fair skin, but it is a warm-toned white, which makes her look full of energy. She is unlike Lin Shuyao, who has cold fair skin, long straight black hair, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and speaks softly, satisfying all the impressions that boys have of girls from the south of the Yangtze River.
It just so happened that Lin Shuyao came from the south, so it was natural that she was given this nickname.
Jian Li: "That's true. I can't starve myself just for this title."
Cheng Yu was so disappointed that he couldn't make it: "We can't lose!"
Jian Li picked up the book and didn't want to talk anymore.
Cheng Yu broadcasts the progress of the class beauty selection live every day. The boys can never unify their camps. Some boys think that Lin Shuyao should be chosen, a beautiful girl from a small family. Some think that Jian Li is beautiful and bold.
The two factions were dissatisfied with each other.
But soon, this childish competition had a result.
Jian Li became the most beautiful girl in the class.
The reason why Lin Shuyao lost the election was just because of one sentence.
Perhaps it was because Lin Shuyao spoke too softly, and soon a boy in the class who was attracted to her gave her love letters.
Lin Shuyao picked up the anonymous love letter but didn't even open it.
She blinked her big eyes and said, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
