The next day, the atmosphere in the dormitory was still a bit heavy, no longer relaxed and harmonious as before.
Gao Min had a sullen face after getting up in the morning because of what Tong Xuelu said last night, as if someone owed her 2.5 million.
After washing up, she suddenly took Lin Lanjuan's hand and said, "Let's go to the canteen for breakfast together."
Gao Min was arrogant and looked down on rural people before, and she was even more indifferent to Lin Lanjuan. Now she suddenly took the initiative to show her kindness, and the eyes of several people in the dormitory fell on them.
Lin Lanjuan was flattered, stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's go."
Gao Min took her hand and walked past the others like a victorious rooster.
Seeing this, Cui Rourou rolled her eyes at the ceiling and sneered.
Gao Min heard the laughter and gritted her teeth. She was about to turn around and sneer at her for laughing, but she didn't know what she thought of. She finally left without turning around.
Then Cui Rourou and Tian Fengzhi left, leaving Tong Xuelu and Xie Xiaoyan in the dormitory.
Xie Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was scared to death. I just thought they were going to fight."
Tong Xuelu glanced at her and said, "Fight if you want, fight. What are you afraid of?"
Xie Xiaoyan widened her eyes and said, "Of course I'm afraid. Have you forgotten that every dormitory has to be graded? If they fight, our dormitory will definitely be deducted points."
Tong Xuelu was shocked.
She really forgot about this. Although dormitory grades in this era are not counted in grades, if the dormitory grades are too low, it will definitely affect the scholarship.
No wonder Gao Min didn't have an outburst just now, it turned out that she was concerned about this.
It's good that way, at least there is something to restrain them, so that the whole dormitory doesn't have intrigues every day, making it like a harem.
After packing up, Tong Xuelu locked the door and walked towards the cafeteria with Xie Xiaoyan: "By the way, how did Gao Min's cousin get into the dormitory?"
Dormitory management these days is still relatively strict, and boys are generally not allowed to enter the dormitory.
Xie Xiaoyan's eyes widened: "Didn't you notice? Gao Min changed her desk. Her cousin and that boy moved a desk here yesterday. That's why the dormitory manager let them come up."
Tong Xuelu understood: "So that's how it is." Xie Xiaoyan
looked envious: "Gao Min's cousin is so nice to her. The desk we use now is full of dents, especially the one I use which is worm-eaten. The desk her cousin moved is half-new."
Tong Xuelu said absentmindedly.
The breakfast in the cafeteria was not as rich as it was later. There were only steamed buns, steamed bread and eggs, and the only drink was soy milk.
There was milk in those days, but it was limited. Only infants and critically ill patients could buy a bottle of milk every day with a hospital certificate, but having soy milk was not bad.
Tong Xuelu used her grain coupons and money to buy a bowl of soybean milk, a steamed bun and an egg, spending a total of 4 liang of grain coupons and 28 cents.
Xie Xiaoyan bought two steamed buns with boiled water.
After breakfast, they came to the classroom.
There was only one class of English majors admitted this year, with a total of 41 students.
When Tong Xuelu and Xie Xiaoyan came to the classroom, many classmates had already come to the class.
Seeing Tong Xuelu coming, many people took the initiative to greet her.
"Tong, I heard that you have some special secrets for learning English. I wonder if you can share them with us?"
"Learning English is so difficult. It would be great if Tong could teach us."
Tong Xuelu said modestly, "I can't say that I can teach you. We all come to school to learn. We learn together and make progress together. I have shared the learning methods I know with my roommates. If you don't know, I can tell you now."
Some people who didn't know hurriedly said, "I don't know. Tong, thank you for sharing. You are really a kind person with a big heart and a fat body."
Big heart and fat body?
Forget about being fat.
Tong Xuelu took the opportunity to teach everyone some small methods of learning English before the teacher came. In addition to what she said in the dormitory last time, she also taught a method of memorizing words by reciting.
"For example, the word transportation seems very long and difficult to remember, but we separate it. There is sport in the middle, which means exercise. Adding a prefix becomes transport, which means transportation. Adding a suffix becomes transportation, which means transportation tools or transportation system."
"There are many examples like this. We separate or combine them, which helps us remember more words and makes English words more vivid."
"Pa pa pa."
As soon as Tong Xulu finished speaking, applause broke out at the door.
Professor Yin, the head of the department, walked in and said, "Student Tong's method is very novel and practical. What's more rare is that she is willing to share such a good method with everyone. Let's applaud and encourage her."
Professor Yin is not only the head of the department, but also a teacher of spoken English. He is a PhD student in the United States, has very standard English pronunciation, and has a deep understanding of Western literature. In recent years, he has been helping universities and the country to cultivate diplomacy and translation talents.
The classroom rang with warm applause.
Tong Xuelu looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, the methods she mentioned are nothing in the future. There are countless similar learning methods.
Professor Yin said, "Student Tong, I want you to be the class monitor. Are you willing?"
Tong Xuelu declined, saying, "A class monitor needs to help the students in the class in all aspects, but I go home on Saturdays and Sundays. I am afraid I can't be competent for this position. I think it is better to hand it over to a more capable student."
Professor Yin said regretfully, "In this case, then you can be the English class representative and lead the students to learn English more often."
This is possible.
Tong Xuelu nodded generously and agreed.
Then Professor Yin began to teach.
Professor Yin's class is humorous, his thoughts are active and his cultural knowledge is very profound. It is very different from the teaching method of traditional teachers. The students all find it novel and interesting.
Professor Yin is also good at encouraging students. Some students have very poor English pronunciation and dare not speak English. With Professor Yin's encouragement, these students have mustered up the courage to introduce themselves in English or answer questions.
The teacher was awesome, and the students also cherished this hard-won learning opportunity. No one was distracted or fell asleep during the class.
After the morning class, the head teacher, Ms. Huang, came over. After a brief self-introduction, she asked the students to vote for the class leaders.
Gao Min was the first to run up and recommend herself to be the monitor: "Hello everyone, I am Gao Min. I want to recommend myself to be the monitor of our class. If I can be the monitor, I will cooperate with the teacher's work wholeheartedly and help every classmate in the class wholeheartedly."
"In the past, I have been a monitor in school from elementary school to high school, so I have a lot of experience in being a monitor. If you choose me as the monitor, I am very confident that I can unite all the forces that can be united and lead our class to become the best class in the whole school. Thank you, everyone, please vote for me."
Gao Min's speech was very exciting, but unfortunately she lost to a female classmate named Shi Zhenru by one vote, and finally became the secretary of the Youth League.
Gao Min was so angry that her face was as dry as a cucumber, and she glared at Tong Xuelu and Xie Xiaoyan.
After class, she rushed to Tong Xuelu and said coldly, "Why didn't you vote for me just now?"
Tong Xuelu blinked and said innocently, "Didn't the class teacher ask us to vote for the most capable person? I think Shi Zhenru is very capable. Do you want me to cheat? You should have said it earlier."
"..."
Gao Min was choked, and a feeling of anger was stuck in her chest, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She definitely couldn't say such words that would let the other party cheat. In the end, she glared at Tong Xuelu fiercely and left angrily.
Xie Xiaoyan looked at Gao Min's back and said with some worry: "I can foresee that our dormitory will not be peaceful in the future."
Tong Xuelu shrugged and continued innocently: "I hope Gao Min will not be so stubborn. I came to school to study, not to engage in political struggles."
Xie Xiaoyan nodded in agreement: "That's right. Who would be willing to spend time fighting after working so hard to get into college?"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said nothing.
She deliberately did not choose Gao Min.
The class monitor is a big position with a lot of power, and Gao Min's cousin is Shi Junmin's friend, so she naturally would not let her be the class monitor.
More importantly, through what happened yesterday, she felt that Gao Min should be a love-brained person. It's
useless to capture such a person. As long as the man hooks his finger, she will run over.
So she gave up on trying to woo Gao Min.
Xie Xiaoyan said, "I'm going to the library, do you want to come with me?"
Tong Xuelu shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to buy some stationery."
Xie Xiaoyan nodded, and the two went their separate ways.
Tong Xuelu didn't go to buy stationery. She walked around the campus for a while, and when no one was paying attention, she threw a letter of complaint into the newspaper box.
Then she went back to the dormitory. Two
days later, a notice was posted at the door of the dormitory building.
It said that from today on, stricter management would be implemented for outsiders in the dormitory. Boys or parents who wanted to enter the dormitory, in addition to registering their names, were also required not to stay in the dormitory for more than two minutes.
Boys must enter accompanied by the dormitory aunt.
When the classmates saw this notice, they immediately started talking about it.
Some people speculated whether it was related to the last search of Room 201, and some speculated whether someone had lost something.
After seeing this notice, Gao Min's face turned red and white, and she was worried whether bringing someone back to the dormitory last time would affect her daily life.
After returning to the dormitory, she seemed to say casually: "Have you all seen the notice below?"
No one else said anything, only Lin Lanjuan nodded: "I saw it."
Gao Min glanced at everyone: "I don't know why such a notice suddenly appeared?"
Xie Xiaoyan said: "I think it's good. Boys should not enter the girls' dormitory."
Tong Xuelu stared at the textbook with a slight smile on her lips.
Today's notice is the result of her report two days ago.
Although she suggested to everyone in the dormitory not to bring people back to the dormitory, this verbal agreement had no binding effect. In order to prevent Shi Junmin from entering the dormitory again, she had to block the source.
As the saying goes, there are only thieves who can do things for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
If she doesn't do this, maybe one day Shi Junmin will come in again without her knowing and slip a note, and she will be unable to defend herself.
**
After the last search, Shi Junmin did not make any more moves for the time being, but Tong Xulu has always wanted to meet this person.
Soon this opportunity came.
There was a student in the Chinese Department whose family was in great difficulty. His father and grandmother were both paralyzed, and his mother had to farm alone to support the whole family.
Although he was admitted to the university without paying and with government subsidies, he sent half of the 18 yuan subsidy every month back home, leaving only 9 yuan for food and living.
This amount of money was not enough, so he only had one meal a day, and only ate a small bowl of rice for each meal.
After Tong Xuelu learned about this situation from other people, she immediately mobilized classmates to donate.
As the proposer of the donation, she donated 54 yuan of subsidies for three months. Other classmates who had no money gave one or two yuan, and those who were a little more relaxed gave five or ten yuan.
The total donation was 189 yuan.
After registering the donation, Tong Xuelu went to the Chinese Department with the class monitor Shi Zhenru and Gao Min.
When they passed by, the students in the Chinese Department were about to finish their classes, and they all looked confused when they saw them coming.
Tong Xuelu walked in and said, "Hello, students. I am Tong Xuelu from the first class of the English Department. Once, I learned from my classmates that there is a student named Huang in the Chinese Department whose family is very poor and who only eats one steamed bun a day. I felt very uncomfortable after knowing this situation."
"The body is the foundation of learning. If you don't have a good body, how can you learn effectively? So I organized the classmates in the class to donate money, hoping that this little money can help this student and his family overcome difficulties."
As soon as these words came out, the class was shocked and felt ashamed at the same time.
They all knew the situation of Huang, but they never thought of donating money or helping him. They didn't expect that the one who helped him was actually a student from another department.
The head teacher of Class 1 had not left yet. After hearing what Tong Xuelu said, he was also ashamed: "My dear classmate, I want to thank you for your kindness on behalf of classmate Huang. This should have been done by our department and class, but we neglected it."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Teacher, don't blame yourself. There are many students in the Chinese department. You teachers have to take charge of the courses of several classes. It is understandable that you can't take care of every student."
"At this time, the class monitor needs to fulfill his responsibility, just like the class monitor of our class, who knows the situation of every student in the class and truly serves the students wholeheartedly."
Shi Zhenru was suddenly praised and his face flushed.
But someone's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
This person was none other than Shi Junmin.
Because he is the monitor of Class 1.
Tong Xuelu's words were like giving him a loud slap in the face in front of everyone.
As the monitor of Class 1, he didn't even know that his classmates had difficulties, or he knew but was indifferent. How can he say that he serves his classmates wholeheartedly?
Sure enough, as soon as Tong Xuelu said this, some people looked at Shi Junmin, and even the head teacher turned his head to look at him.
Shi Junmin clenched his hands under the table into fists, and anger burned in his heart.
Tong Xuelu glanced at everyone: "I wonder if Huang Xinyi is here?"
The head teacher said: "Huang is on sick leave today."
Tong Xuelu showed a concerned look at the right time: "Ah, Huang is sick? I wonder if he has money to see a doctor and buy medicine. I wonder who is the monitor of your class? Can you help us send the money to Huang now?"
"I'm really worried about Huang."
The head teacher felt more ashamed and looked at Shi Junmin: "Shi, you should send the money to Huang now. Be sure to make it clear that this is a kind gift from the students in the Foreign Languages Department. Also, if Huang is not in good condition, you must accompany him to see the school doctor."
The head teacher's tone was obviously reproachful.
He was negligent as a class teacher, but he taught several classes and had a heavy workload. In addition, he did not live with the students, so he could not take care of everything.
Class leaders are selected to share responsibilities with teachers. Shi Junmin said it so nicely at the beginning, but he did not want to just talk and not do it!
"Yes, teacher, I will take good care of Huang."
Shi Junmin's face turned red and white, and there was anger in his eyes.
Tong Xuelu looked at the man who had attacked her again and again without making a sound.
Shi Junmin looked about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with delicate features and glasses on his nose, looking gentle and elegant.
Tong Xuelu thought of an idiom: a gentleman is a loser.
Shi Junmin walked over, looked at Tong Xuelu with a fake smile and said, "Tong, I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Huang."
Tong Xuelu met his gaze: "You're welcome. As classmates from the same school, we should help each other. It is also the responsibility of our class leaders to care about every classmate."
Shi Junmin: "..."
The head teacher took the lead in applauding: "I hope that the students in our class will learn more from the students in the Foreign Languages Department in the future, help each other and care about each other."
The classmates in the class followed suit and applauded. The louder the applause, the harder the slap on Shi Junmin's face.
Coming out of the teaching building, Gao Min looked a little unhappy: "Student Tong, you shouldn't have deliberately embarrassed the monitor of Class 1 just now."
Tong Xuelu looked innocent: "What do you mean? What did I say that made you misunderstand like this?"
Before Gao Min could say anything, Shi Zhenru frowned and looked at her and said: "Student Gao, your thinking is very problematic. The monitor of Class 1 did not fulfill his responsibility to take care of his classmates. This is his dereliction of duty."
"If you make a mistake, you must correct it. Do you want everyone to pretend that they know nothing? Moreover, classmate Tong did not blame him at all from beginning to end. Why are you blaming classmate Tong?"
Gao Min: "I..."
But before she could say anything, Tong Xuelu covered her face and cried: "I only wanted to help classmate Huang who was in financial difficulty. I didn't expect that I would become a bad person in the eyes of classmate Gao. I feel so sad... "
Shi Zhenru saw Tong Xuelu crying and couldn't help but get anxious: "Classmate Tong, don't cry, you did nothing wrong. It is classmate Gao who has ideological problems. I must report this matter to the class teacher. Ren!"
Gao Min: "..."
Tong Xuelu wiped her tears and said: "Forget it, the monitor of Class 1 and Gao know each other, and it is understandable that she is on the side of the other, but I didn't expect her to say that to me."
Shi Zhenru frowned even more tightly: "No wonder she spoke for the monitor of Class 1, it turns out they know each other. Then Gao's idea is even more incorrect. This is favoritism and bending the law and not distinguishing between public and private. I think Gao is not qualified for the position of the League Secretary. I must report this matter to the class teacher!"
Gao Min: "..."
After speaking, Shi Zhenru turned around and strode towards the teacher's office.
"Student Shi, wait for me..."
Gao Min was angry and scared, and hurried after him.
After watching the two of them leave, Tong Xuelu wiped her tears, then went to the library to write an article, and submitted it to the school news agency.
Although Gao Min chased after her, she was ultimately unable to stop Shi Zhenru from complaining.
Shi Zhenru told the class teacher about how Tong Xuelu had spontaneously offered to donate money to help needy classmates, and how Gao Min had slandered Tong Xuelu and made her cry.
The class teacher had not known about the donation before, and was shocked and moved to know that Tong Xuelu had donated three months' allowance.
After hearing that Gao Min had actually turned around and blamed Tong Xuelu, she immediately felt that Gao Min's ideological awareness was not enough.
The head teacher looked at Gao Min solemnly: "Student Tong is dedicated to helping students in need. Even if you can't reach the same level as her, you can't confuse right and wrong."
Gao Min's face turned pale: "Teacher, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time..."
The head teacher waved his hand: "In the final analysis, it's still because your ideological awareness is not enough. You should give up the position of League Secretary to other students."
"..."
Gao Min's eyes turned red and two lines of tears fell.
Being dismissed by the teacher, and because of ideological awareness, it means that she will hardly have the opportunity to be a class cadre again in the next four years.
She is finished.
A few days later, the article Tong Xuelu submitted to the news agency was published.
In the article, she described the difficulties of Huang Xinyi in a way that made the readers cry. Then she wrote in detail how the Foreign Languages Department knew about his difficulties and donated money to help him.
Of course, she did not mention that she donated money for three months, but used more space to praise and extol the spirit of solidarity, friendship and mutual help of other students.
After reading the newspaper, the teachers and leaders of the Foreign Languages Department immediately felt proud and walked with a breeze.
The teachers and leaders of the Chinese Department felt as if they were slapped in the face.
They didn't even know about the students in their own department, and they had to wait for the students from other departments to donate money to them before they knew about it. It was really embarrassing.
Such things must be held accountable by someone. Of course, the person who is held accountable cannot be the leader or the class teacher. In the end, only Shi Junmin, the class monitor, could be held accountable.
Moreover, after Tong Xuelu went to their class to donate money last time, everyone had already questioned Shi Junmin's ability.
Some people also heard that Shi Junmin delivered a table to a girl in the Foreign Languages Department. He had no time to care about his classmates, but had time to pursue female classmates.
When the newspaper incident fermented, the class teacher finally decided to remove Shi Junmin from his position as class monitor.
After Shi Junmin received the notice, he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.
Being a class monitor is very important to a student's resume, and it also plays a vital role in whether a sophomore or junior can be recommended to join the party.
He had originally planned to apply to join the party in his sophomore year, but now with this "stain", his chance of joining the party has vanished. If he
fails to join the party, he will not be assigned the best job when he graduates.
Unless he makes greater contributions in the future or his grades are outstanding, it will be difficult for him to be re-elected as class monitor or approved to join the party.
In other words, Tong Xuelu's move seemed insignificant, but in fact it was cutting off the source of the problem.
Shi Junmin was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Tong Xuelu's face was gloomy when she learned the news from Huang Xinyi, a classmate who had thanked her. After
Huang Xinyi left, the corners of her mouth curled up.
The game has just begun.
**
On Friday, Tong Xuelu packed up and went home.
When she got home, no one was at home, but there were sounds coming from the Wen family next door.
Because the two families lived next to each other, and Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui were engaged, they opened a door in the wall to facilitate each other's coming and going.
Tong Xuelu heard the sound and walked towards the Wen family.
The sound came from Wen Rugui's room.
She picked up a stick and tiptoed over, only to hear a blushing and heart-pounding sound coming from the house.
"Um-um-"
"..."
Tong Xuelu thought a thief had come in, but it turned out to be Wen Rugui who came back and was doing such a thing in the house.
Tong Xuelu's mouth twitched, and she was ready to pretend that she heard nothing.
But as soon as she turned around, she kicked the iron bucket next to her.
The iron bucket made a clanging sound, startling Wen Rugui who was in the room.
Wen Rugui was applying medicine to his injured hand and was startled by the noise outside.
His elbow hit the cup on the table, and the water flowed down and splashed on his pants, instantly wetting a large area.
Wen Rugui asked loudly: "Who is outside?"
Tong Xulu stuck out her tongue and had to say: "It's me."
Wen Rugui's eyes lit up when he heard her voice, and he walked out with his long legs: "You're back?"
The door was opened with a "creaky" sound, and Wen Rugui appeared at the door.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyes and looked at him, her cheeks were pink, and her pants were wet...
"What were you doing in the room just now?"
Wen Rugui's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Nothing."
Nothing?
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "Don't lie to me, I heard everything just now."
Wen Rugui looked confused: "What did you hear?"
Tong Xuelu: "Your screaming."
Wen Rugui became more confused:?
Tong Xuelu saw that he was still pretending at this time, and suddenly didn't want to cover up for him.
She called out twice in the same voice as him, then coughed and said, "I understand you have needs, but doing this kind of thing too much is not good for your health, so you should be careful."
Wen Rugui, who was hit by the flying wok, said, "…"
