Chapter 7: It's your loss to shut me out
"Don't crowd here. Class monitors, take your classmates and leave in order."
"Chief Ma, please ask the security department to take care of the students and avoid crowding."
After realizing that Lu Zixue was lying, Director Yao immediately shouted instructions to the students around him, and drove the crowd who were still eager to watch the show away from the school gate.
I have to say that students of this era were very obedient and disciplined. In just a few minutes, they lined up in large queues and left the gate of the county’s No. 1 Middle School.
After most of the people had left, he looked at Li Ye with a sullen face and said in a gentle tone, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Before the matter is investigated, the bicycle will be temporarily detained at the school until it is investigated."
"I'm sorry," Li Ye interrupted, "I still say the same thing, you have no right or qualification to intervene in this matter. If you want to find out, we can go to the X station now."
“.”
Director Yao glared at Li Ye, his back teeth grinding against each other.
He could now guess that the Phoenix bicycle belonged to Li Ye, but from the perspective of the school's student management, he could not show weakness to the students, let alone apologize.
This is actually the same as being a company leader. Even if he is wrong, he cannot lose his prestige, otherwise the entire company will fall apart in the future.
So Director Yao asked himself and felt that he was not wrong.
But looking at the attitude of Chief Ma of the Security Section, and what Lu Zixue said, "The Director of Station X is Li Ye's relative," Director Yao also knew that there was no way to suppress Li Ye today.
So he frowned and said coldly: "I am very glad that I didn't let a black sheep like you into the county's No. 1 Middle School. Students like you are a cancer."
But Li Ye interrupted Director Yao again and said calmly: "You rejected me in the first place, which was a loss for County No. 1 Middle School."
"Loss?" Director Yao, no matter how much of a role model he was, couldn't help but sneer, "What a joke! I've been teaching for so many years, and I've never seen a student as arrogant as you."
Li Ye glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't you see it now?"
"you"
Director Yao was furious and wanted to use the skills he had acquired over the past decade to teach Li Ye a good lesson.
But Li Ye nodded to Section Chief Ma, turned around, got on his bicycle and left.
"Look at this kind of student, look at this kind of student, Section Chief Ma, why did you introduce him to our school in the first place? Fortunately, I stopped him, otherwise what would have happened?"
Director Yao pointed at Li Ye who was walking away and started complaining to Section Chief Ma.
Section Chief Ma endured a few words, then said quietly: "Director Yao, that kid's grandfather is from the grain department, I'm just a matchmaker, if you want to complain, you shouldn't complain to me!"
Director Yao was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled the school logistics staff who had always been unfriendly to him recently, and finally he came to his senses.
In this era, there is a special system called "grain and oil relationship", and the grain department has extraordinary power.
But Director Yao still believes that he is not wrong. It is his unshirkable responsibility to strictly control the quality of students and improve the admission rate of the county's No. 1 Middle School.
Open a back door here?
No way!
Director Yao sighed and turned around to find Lu Zixue still standing timidly behind him.
He suddenly became furious and took out his anger on Lu Zixue.
"Bring your bicycle license here on Monday. If the bicycle is really yours, I will take it back even if I have to file a lawsuit. If it's not yours, write a self-inspection and give it to me."
“.”
. . . . . . . . . .
After leaving the No. 1 Middle School of the county, Li Dayong looked at the Phoenix bike under Li Ye's crotch with envy on his face.
Li Dayong's bicycle was the one his father passed down. It was rusty, rough, old and heavy. Compared with the light and exquisite 26 Phoenix, the difference between them was even greater than that between a poor boy and a rich young man.
That is to say, Li Ye is the only male in the Li family, and they dote on him very much. There are many people in the family who work and earn money, so they are willing to buy such a "good-looking but useless" thing.
Nowadays, when most people buy a bicycle, they first consider its practicality.
In an era when there was not a single car on the road all day, bicycles were an important means of transportation, and it was common to see them carrying hundreds of pounds and traveling hundreds of miles.
Therefore, the 26 Phoenix with its slim rear seat is really a luxury at this time.
As they rode, Li Dayong suddenly realized that they were not on the road back to the County No. 2 Middle School, so he asked, "Brother, are you going home?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "So many things have happened in the past few days. Do you think my family will never know about it? If I don't go home and explain, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen!"
Qingshui County is quite small, and Li Ye's nickname "Huang Shiren" will probably soon reach the ears of the Li family. Given the violent temper of Li Ye's stepfather Li Kaijian, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong.
"That's right," Li Dayong nodded and agreed, "Uncle Kaijian has a bad temper. You have to let my master hold him back."
Li Dayong's father once practiced with Li Ye's grandfather for a few days, so Li Dayong called Li Ye's grandfather "master" according to their seniority.
Li Ye added: "Then come to my house for dinner today! I'll buy a roast chicken on the way. Grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time, let him test you to see if you've improved your kung fu."
Li Dayong couldn't help swallowing, but still shook his head and said, "No, I haven't been home for several weeks, and I miss my mother."
A roast chicken now costs three yuan, which doesn't sound expensive, but an apprentice who has just entered the factory only earns more than twenty yuan a month, and no one would be willing to eat it unless otherwise agreed.
Li Dayong usually smokes Li Ye's cigarettes and has no pressure to spend his money, but he feels a little uncomfortable when going to Li Ye's house for dinner.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Li Ye did not act pretentiously. He waved goodbye to Li Dayong at the intersection in the west of the city and rode to the dormitory area of the fertilizer factory according to his memory.
The dormitory area of the county fertilizer plant is located in the east of Qingshui County, not far from the county’s No. 2 Middle School. In theory, Li Ye could go there as a day student.
But since a year ago, the original owner stubbornly chose to live on campus.
One reason is that Lu Jingyao is also a boarding student, and the young and ignorant original owner wanted to see the girl in his heart every moment.
The second reason is that a year ago, after Li Kaijian resumed work, he finally found a stepmother for the original owner.
It was the 1980s, and social customs were not as enlightened as those of later generations. The original owner, poisoned by old evil ideas, developed a strong resistance to his stepmother's family who suddenly squeezed in, so much so that he often refused to go home for weeks.
After integrating the original owner's memories, Li Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You are unworthy of being a son."
Li Kaijian has been single since he was in his twenties. He lived as a widow for more than ten years and raised Li Ye and his sister and brother. He did not marry until he was forty. He definitely deserves the title of "good father".
Now that I have returned to work and my children have grown up, is there anything wrong with finding a wife who understands my feelings and warms my bed?
Shouldn't it?
