Chapter 257 Don't give me the job of a dog taking a mouse and stealing a cat
Before the holiday, Mu Yuning notified the class to hold a meeting.
On the way to the classroom, Sun Xianjin approached Li Ye and said, "Brother Yi, when will you return to school? I will come back to help you then."
Because Li Ye was selected for the school debate team, he will return to school earlier than other students to prepare for the national debate competition in October.
But now that Sun Xianjin was coming back, he asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry to come back instead of staying at home with your parents?"
Sun Xianjin smiled and said, "Isn't it possible for me to improve my debate skills when I come back? It's always good to have many skills, so I can learn some experience."
"It's up to you then," Li Ye said nonchalantly, "I'll be back in about fifteen to twenty days, but I can't guarantee it. If something happens at home, it might be delayed by ten or eight days."
Sun Xianjin said enviously: "Brother, I really admire you. Others hate to go home, but you are so lucky that the school debate team can't do without you. You are worthy of being the number one brother."
Li Ye smiled and pushed Sun Xianjin: "Don't say that casually! The school team is taking care of me, taking care of me, understand?"
"Yeah, yeah, I see."
Sun Xianjin nodded and thought: "Brother, my dad called me a few days ago and said that he must come to thank you in person, so when you return to school, please send me a telegram! Otherwise, it will be difficult for my dad to arrange his vacation."
"Don't do that," Li Ye said hastily, "Please come in first, you are being too polite! I am still holding that ginseng, it is too hot! You are bringing trouble to the old man again, I can't bear it."
"What do you mean you can't bear it? It's not like I don't understand. You even mentioned that ginseng. Brother, I feel really bad when you say that. Besides, I can't control my dad."
Sun Xianjin was very unhappy with Li Ye's refusal. He felt that he owed Li Ye too much and felt very uncomfortable.
The play "The Wanderer's Homecoming" brought him tremendous benefits.
Let’s not talk about the school for now. After Sun Xianjin appeared on TV, his father, who was the director of a forest farm in Heilongjiang Province, held a three-day banquet. Even local bigwigs called Sun Xianjin and asked him to study hard and serve the country.
So the more Li Ye refused, the more upset Sun Xianjin felt.
Li Ye thought about it for a moment and said, "How about this! After you go back, get me two fur hats. I have two younger sisters and three younger sisters, so I want cute ones."
"In addition, there are some nice mink coats. Please buy a few for me. Remember, buy them for me. If you don't want to be paid, don't bother with it as soon as possible. I will be angry with you later."
Last winter, Li Ye bought a mink coat on the train, which almost caused a family conflict after he returned home. This year he is thinking about getting a few pieces!
"Okay, okay, okay," Sun Xianjin agreed quickly, "I'll get you a bag with all kinds of stuff. There are also bear fur hats and bear fur coats."
Li Ye: "Is that thing legal?"
Sun Xianjin was stunned and asked, "How is it illegal? Tiger skins may not be insured, but what's wrong with bear skins?"
Well! There was no gun ban in 1983!
. . . . . . .
"It's all quiet."
Mu Yuning arrived late, and when he went up to the podium, his face was gloomy and he had no smile.
"Everyone remember the time to return to school. When you are on your way home during the holidays, you must pay attention to safety. Don't be reckless when you encounter danger. Look for the hat uncle first. Don't try to be a hero.
I emphasize again, don’t try to be a hero, you are students, not Dongfang Xu or Monk Jueyuan.”
Mu Yuning stood on the podium, repeatedly emphasizing the precautions for the holidays. During this time, he looked at Li Ye and He Dazhuang many times with a stern expression and fierce tone.
The security situation this year is even more severe. News of terrible incidents has been heard by teachers and students at Beijing University from time to time, and several of them have even been reported in newspapers.
So when Peking University was on holiday, Mu Yuning, the class teacher, was really worried. More than half of the dozens of students in the class had to travel thousands of miles back to their hometowns. If they encountered a thief on the way, should they stop him?
So Mu Yuning’s repeated reminders were even more nagging than her own mother.
Don't think you're safe just because you're crowded on trains and buses. As of the first half of 1983, someone on the train would ask you to "put your money in my pocket." On long-distance buses, it was even more direct, and you would just put the money in a sack.
If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the title of college student is still useful in this era. Most people who make money through illegal means will not choose them as their target. Putting the school badge on the chest can avoid a lot of trouble.
But the bad thing was that Li Ye's heroic act last semester, as well as the widespread circulation of Jin Yong's novels, led to the economics department's college students, who already had a strong sense of justice, developing an idea of "practicing martial arts for a chivalrous reason."
Not to mention He Dazhuang, who is bent on revenge on Li Ye. He is now a core member of a martial arts club in the school. He laughs all day long and has already mastered the skills for eight months.
Even Zhen Rongrong, Chen Xiaoling and others were obsessed with it. Every month when they received their living expenses, they would buy a copy of "Wulin" to read. In their spare time, they would practice in the corridor according to the drawings in the book, which made Mu Yuning very annoyed.
A good swimmer can drown in the water. In the current situation, if someone has a sense of justice and feels that he can fight, isn't this definitely a source of danger?
But at this moment, Mu Yuning had already shouted it eight times on the podium, but some of the students below just responded in a formulaic manner, obviously not taking it to heart.
In desperation, Mu Yuning set his sights on Li Ye.
"Li Ye, you have experience fighting criminals, so tell me, if our classmates encounter criminals, how should we deal with them?"
Li Ye understood immediately and stood up and said, "If students encounter criminals, they should throw their luggage to them immediately, then run away and actively look for relevant personnel. This will most effectively stop the criminals from committing crimes and make the greatest contribution to society."
Mu Yuning looked at Li Ye and said again: "To be more direct, why didn't you stop it on the spot, but instead asked for help from Uncle Hat?"
Li Ye: “.”
Mu Yuning once asked Li Ye to what extent Zhen Rongrong and others could practice and what would happen if they encountered criminals. As a result, Li Ye said sincerely that "it would be good enough if they could run away". If they acted out of justice, they would most likely be brutally killed.
But you, Mu Yuning, should just say this, why do you need me, Li Ye, to repeat it again?
I said, "You are all weaklings. If you encounter a gang of three against one, it will only take a few stabs from the gangsters."
Oh my god, what will my classmates think of me if I say this?
You are the only one who can do it, right? You, Li Ye, bravely fought against 27 people, so we can't fight against 1 person, right?
"In fact, what the head teacher said is very correct. When we encounter a problem, we should choose the most correct solution. Criminals are naturally afraid of state armed forces, just like mice are afraid of cats. They will be scared and run away even when they hear a cat's cry."
"So why do the police officers in the movies turn on the J-whistle so far in advance? It is to eliminate the danger in advance. When the criminals hear the J-whistle, they will not kill them out of fear, right?"
"But if people like us who don't have the power to enforce the law take action, we may not be able to protect the public. We may even make the criminals more violent and retaliate against the innocent people around us. Aren't we doing something bad with good intentions?"
Li Ye finally gave some advice in a roundabout way, trying his best to dispel the chivalrous spirit of his classmates.
After all, these students basically do not have the skills to fight the criminals with bare hands, so choosing to report to the police is the best option.
Later, Li Ye read a news report that the country's top soybean planting expert was harmed by a few gangsters, causing great losses to the country.
Although these Kyoto University students are not experts yet, will they not be experts in the future?
Many students thought it made sense, but He Dazhuang suddenly asked Li Ye: "Li Ye, if you encounter the same situation as last year, what would you do?"
"First of all, there is no comparison between you and me," Li Ye said frankly, "I am being very blunt. If I had a stick in my hand, I could deal with any three students in our class in a narrow alley, and at least,"
"Also, the situation I encountered last year was very special. It was already very late at night and there was no one else on the street except us.
And most importantly, the other party was not engaging in theft or robbery, which were crimes that only cared about money but not life. So my two companions and I had no choice."
Li Ye paused and said, "So if they were engaged in petty theft at the time, or if there were police nearby, I would definitely call for help without hesitation instead of stopping them myself."
He Dazhuang opened his mouth, somewhat unconvinced, but in the end he did not ask any more questions.
Because the story of Li Ye breaking the table leg with one kick had spread, He Dazhuang went to see the broken table in person, and then secretly tried it countless times on the tables in the classroom.
The result was that his feet were swollen, but the table legs didn't move at all.
Li Ye is so capable but he chose to report J first, so why are you still trying to be a hero?
Mu Yuning stared at He Dazhuang fiercely for a few times, making He Dazhuang shrink his neck, and then said loudly: "Did everyone hear clearly? What Li Ye said is very correct. Don't be like a dog trying to catch a mouse and overestimate your own abilities, and even steal the cat's job."
“Hahahaha~”
Li Ye: “.”
Teacher, that’s not what I meant.
After dozens of classmates laughed, they actually took Mu Yuning's words to heart and became less reckless and more cautious.
After the class meeting, everyone said goodbye to Mu Yuning and went back to prepare for returning home, but Mu Yuning stopped Li Ye.
"Li Ye, please stay for a moment."
Li Ye said helplessly: "Teacher Mu, I have cooperated with you very well. Is that not enough?"
Mu Yuning glared at Li Ye and said, "I have something else to talk to you about. When do you plan to write your application? Do you want me to give you some advice?"
"application?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Mu Yuning wanted him to write a D application.
Last year, Mu Yuning and Wen Leyu both planned a development path for Li Ye, but Li Ye did not respond positively at that time. Unexpectedly, Mu Yuning would urge him now.
So Li Ye said, "Teacher, there's no rush! I've only been in the group for less than a year!"
Mu Yuning's chest heaved, and he was obviously holding back his breath.
"You are not in a hurry, but the department has asked about your situation twice in a row. If you don't make progress, it means that I, as the class teacher, am negligent and inactive."
Mu Yuning stopped talking nonsense with Li Ye and directly ordered: "Also, go back and tell your family to prepare the necessary supporting documents for admission to D for subsequent review."
Li Ye was a little uncomfortable with Mu Yuning's toughness, and said awkwardly: "Not so fast! Application form, probation period. It's so troublesome."
Mu Yuning laughed, but he laughed out of anger.
She looked at Li Ye with contempt and said, "I also think it's too fast, but whether it's fast or not is up to you. As long as you, the great writer Li, want to do it, you can do it as fast as you want."
"As long as you do something wrong once, you will be promoted. In two years, even I, the class teacher, will have to curry favor with you!"
Li Ye also laughed and said jokingly: "Teacher, please don't use the word fawning. Just speak up if you can help me."
Mu Yuning looked at Li Ye in silence.
Li Ye was very surprised. She always felt that Mu Yuning had something to do today, but seemed too embarrassed to speak up.
Finally, Mu Yuning said, "I do have something to trouble you with. I heard that you have US dollars?"
Ever since the Lone Army Literary Society started to earn foreign exchange, the school allocated some quotas to them. Li Ye got the lion's share, several dozen dollars every month, which made many people cry with envy.
In recent days, many people have asked for exchange through connections, but Li Ye always says, "I have already exchanged it with someone else."
Li Ye is not short of foreign exchange, but who he wants to exchange it with depends on his mood and impression of the person.
Although Mu Yuning always seemed to find fault with Li Ye, in fact, every time Li Ye analyzed carefully, he was actually thinking about him.
So Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, teacher, how much do you need?"
Mu Yuning hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I need five hundred, but I can only afford a price of one to four. I owe you this. From now on..."
"One to four? Teacher, you are putting me in an unjust situation! How can I, an outstanding young man with a bright future, do something that will ruin my future?"
Li Ye held up two fingers very seriously: "One to two, slightly higher than the official price, five hundred dollars, no change."
Mu Yuning: “.”
In 1983, the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar was 1.9757, so Li Ye's ratio of one to two was indeed slightly higher.
But if anyone has the nerve to say that the exchange rate is high, then he is either stupid or someone else is trying to exchange it for you.
"Thank you, I'll return it to you as soon as possible."
It was the first time that Li Ye heard the word thank you from Mu Yuning's mouth and he felt strange.
But he immediately asked Mu Yuning: "Teacher Mu, are you going to study abroad? Then teacher, will you still accept my application? You won't not come back, right?"
Mu Yuning's chest rose and fell violently again, magnificently.
But Li Ye was so generous, so she finally shook her head and said, "No, I took a short ticket."
"Short signature?"
Li Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Teacher Mu, your boyfriend is not overseas, right? Then Teacher Jian from the Department of Mathematics is not the best choice."
Recently, a teacher named Jian from the Department of Mathematics has been sending love letters to Mu Yuning every day. Everyone has gotten used to it, but Li Ye's sharp eyesight can see Mu Yuning's impatience.
Mu Yuning stared at Li Ye with eyes wide open, and finally lost his patience.
"Go away~"
[Humph, you just used me as a demonstration to your classmates. If I don’t tease you a little, do you really think I’m a cute cat that you can pet at will? ]
