After class, Yang Lili watched two more students go to Sun Ling to pay money. She felt so entangled that she became distracted in class for the first time.
At noon, when she saw Chen Lishu and Zhang Xue getting up, she quickly packed her schoolbag and followed them to the cafeteria.
"Lishu, I would like to borrow..." Yang Lili mustered up the courage and was about to speak when two figures suddenly rushed towards her. Looking sideways, they saw it was Li Zhiwei and Fatty Feng.
"Chen Lishu, did you bring something delicious in your schoolbag today?" Li Zhiwei said with a smile, his eyes falling on Chen Lishu's schoolbag.
Zhang Xue couldn't help laughing and joking: "Li Zhiwei, do you have clairvoyance?"
Li Zhiwei shook his head: "I don't have X-ray eyes, but I have a dog nose. Fatty Feng smelled it and told me."
Fatty Feng immediately glared at him dissatisfied.
"Lishu brought mushroom sauce from home, and I ate it for breakfast. There was meat in it, and it was very delicious."
When Li Zhiwei and Fatty Feng heard that there was still meat, they immediately followed Chen Lishu to the canteen with saliva.
"I'm not too hungry yet, why don't you go first." Yang Lili said and was about to leave. She didn't have much money or tickets in her hand, so eating food was a luxury.
Chen Lishu glanced at her without leaving any trace and said with a smile: "To thank you for lending me the notes, how about I treat you to a guest at noon today." Chen Lishu said with a smile.
As soon as Zhang Xue heard about her treat, she immediately went to pull Yang Lili and urged her to go to the cafeteria with everyone. Yang Lili couldn't resist, so she had to go with everyone.
For five people, Chen Lishu ordered four dishes and five portions of rice, and the total cost was less than two yuan.
In addition to the vegetables, most of the cans and bottles of mushroom sauce she brought were shared by everyone. If Zhang Xue hadn't snatched it from Li Zhiwei in the end, he and Fatty Feng would have eaten it all.
After dinner, Yang Lili wanted to go back to the dormitory to read, and Zhang Xue wanted to go to the library, so she insisted on dragging Chen Lishu along. The three of them separated after they came out of the cafeteria.
"Yang Lili, I just took a look and you haven't paid yet. We all live in the same dormitory. You won't support my work, right?"
As soon as Yang Lili entered the dormitory, Sun Ling got down from her bed, looked at her and said.
"Sun Ling, can you not buy clothes? I don't need to participate that day." Yang Lili carefully discussed with her.
She didn't apply for the project in the first place, and since there were so many people that day, no one would notice.
"What if you don't participate? This is a group activity. Besides, it only costs three yuan. I usually save on eating less."
Yang Lili lowered her eyes when she heard her words and didn't know how to answer.
"My hands are really tight lately."
Just when she tried to explain, Sun Ling lowered her face and said displeasedly: "It's only three yuan, but you still push back and forth. Who can go to school without even three yuan in their pocket? Why come to school if they are really that poor? Just go back."
Just forget about farming."
Yang Lili's face turned red with embarrassment as she slapped her head in the face.
"Forget it, Sun Ling. If she's really in trouble, I'll pay her the three dollars." Jiang Yuwei, who had been sitting reading, took out three dollars from her pocket and handed it to Sun Ling.
How could she get her to pay for her own clothes? If she really wanted Jiang Yuwei to hand over the money today, who would she be? Even though she felt distressed, Yang Lili still gritted her teeth and took out the three-dollar bills in her pocket and handed them over.
Sun Ling.
"Aren't you rich?" Sun Ling put the money away politely and checked off Yang Lili's name in the notebook.
…
"Chen Lishu, Zhang Xue, you two are the only ones who haven't paid. Today is the last day. I'm going to buy clothes tomorrow. You two should hand over the money quickly."
At the end of the first class in the afternoon, Sun Ling personally called their names in front of the whole class.
"What do you need to pay?" Chen Lishu asked pretending to be confused.
"Everyone is required to dress uniformly at the sports meeting. A navy shirt costs three yuan." Although Chen Lishu was definitely pretending to be stupid, Sun Ling still had to explain in front of the whole class.
"Sun Ling, the school does not require everyone to wear navy shirts. This is your decision, right?" Zhang Xue choked dissatisfied.
"This is decided by the class committee." Sun Ling looked at the two of them and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, provoking: "You two are not so poor that you don't even have three yuan, are you?"
"You guessed it right, my family from the countryside is not in good condition and I just can't afford these three yuan. Just tell me if I can participate in this sports meeting? If not, I will go directly to the class teacher or go to the department.
Let’s see if there are any regulations that say those who don’t wear uniform clothes will not be allowed to participate in activities.” Chen Lishu said very bachelorly.
Sun Ling choked for a moment and was angry for a long time before sarcastically saying: "You can't even afford three yuan, what are you so arrogant about? People like you who don't care about the collective honor of the class will have big words posted on you tomorrow.
Report."
Chen Lishu smiled: "Where we are, the poorer we are, the more glorious we are. You want to give me free publicity. I'm so grateful to you."
"Pfft..."
"Ha ha……"
As soon as Chen Lishu finished speaking, Zhang Xue and Li Zhiwei couldn't help laughing.
"You!" Sun Ling stomped her feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do about Chen Lishu.
"If I had known that there was such an explanation for posting the big-character poster, I would have stopped paying the three yuan." Li Zhiwei shouted and stood up: "Sun Ling, please give me your money back. I won't buy the clothes."
"And me." Fatty Feng immediately agreed.
"I also want to refund the money." Li Hailong also said.
"Actually, I didn't want to buy those clothes for a long time."
As more and more people expressed their opinions, Sun Ling stood on the podium and suddenly felt a little bit stuck: "The two of them don't want to. It's because they don't love the collective, so why are you making noises?"
"What is a collective? A collective means to listen to everyone's opinions, not just your own words." Chen Lishu said in a deep voice.
"The school organizes sports meets to allow everyone to keep fit and show off their athleticism. What you do is simply adding to the burden on everyone."
"That's good." As soon as Chen Lishu finished speaking, the head teacher Chen Yinchu suddenly spoke up.
He had been here for a while, and some classmates had already reported the situation to him in private, so he was ready to come over to take a look, but he didn't expect to happen upon the scene just now.
"Teacher." When Sun Ling saw him coming in, she swallowed the scolding that had reached her lips. She looked at Chen Yinchu and said aggrievedly: "Teacher, I also want to earn honor for the class, so I want everyone to wear the same clothes."
The clothes cost only three yuan in total. Everyone originally agreed that it was Chen Lishu and Zhang Xuefei who wanted to incite everyone's emotions."
"If you want to get honors, you can't just do it superficially. I hope everyone can spend more time on professional courses and academics." Chen Yinchu pointed out.
"Seeing that class is about to begin, please return everyone's money after class."
Chen Yinchu said the last sentence while looking at Sun Ling. Seeing that Teacher Ke Ren had already brought the books over, he turned around and left without any further delay.
After watching the person leave, Sun Ling looked at Chen Lishu with a fierce look. It was because of her that she was embarrassed in front of the whole class.
