Chapter 23 Still have to make money(1/2)

The first snow in the eighth year finally fell.

The bitter snow whizzed by, and overnight, the land felt the coldness of winter.

With great perseverance, Li Ye got rid of the temptation of the warm bed. Sis quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the dormitory to the classroom in the cold air.

Cold, too cold.

Now Li Ye understands the meaning of "climate warming" in later generations. Qingshui County can only barely be regarded as a "northern city", but it can often be a low temperature of more than minus twenty degrees Celsius, which is rare in later generations.

Moreover, the heating conditions in this era are even more lacking.

There is no heating equipment in the dormitory of the County No. 2 Middle School. At night, the temperature is not only dripping water into ice, but even frost is hung on the wall.

One by one, the school students were covering their quilts and pretending to be cold birds, Doro Doro Roll's hardships.

The stove in the classroom is basically a face-saving project. The daily quota is only a handful of firewood and a few kilograms of coal cakes, and the ball is finished in just a little smoke.

But even such arduous conditions cannot stop the students' enthusiasm for learning.

When it was dawn, students in the classroom were self-study, and those who came over with the ringtone were all unpromising "lazy guys".

However, as soon as Li Ye arrived at his seat, a few people came over.

"Brother, let me tell me these questions after dinner?"

Li Dayong handed Li Ye two still hot baked steamed buns and half a jar of warm water, and then waited on the side with a paper.

The County No. 2 Middle School does not serve breakfast, and the steamed buns came from last night. If you want to take advantage of the stove smoking, you have to have the ability to squeeze the buses in the Bawang Fen.

While eating steamed buns, Li Ye took out his own paper and threw it over, saying, "I will check the answer first, and ask if I don't understand."

Li Dayong and others quickly took the paper, gathered together to copy and discuss.

After Li Ye finished his meal, the squad leader Hu Man quickly handed Li Ye a hand-warming water bottle, and then placed the paper marked with the questions in front of Li Ye.

Everyone saves the hot water in the water bottle, and it can reach 70 to 80 degrees. Under this weather conditions, it is a luxury.

"This set of questions is actually not difficult, let's take a look first."

Li Ye put the thermos in his arms, warmed his hands, and finished the questions in a few seconds before sending Hu Man, Fu Yingjie and others away.

The paper was handed out from the evening study last year. He and Wen Leyu had already finished it, but Li Dayong and others had a lot of effort.

But Li Dayong and Fu Yingjie are not the most laborious. The most laborious ones are Xia Yue and Jin Shengli, who claim to be a group of "top students".

When Teacher Ke sent the novel test paper, Xia Yue and others wiped out the frustration for many days and felt proud.

Although Teacher Ke emphasized that "It was Li Ye who provided the papers and published by the school", they felt that the school provided these precious papers, and they did not have any relationship with Li Yemao, and they did not owe Li Ye favors.

Xia Yue and others held their breath and vowed to prove who is the "school master" in the class.

But the reality is very skinny. In just two days, Xia Yue and others were hit.

Teacher Ke usually sends the papers during self-study classes, and Li Ye and Wen Leyu will finish them all without waiting for the self-study classes to end.

As a result, even the next day, Xia Yue, Jin Shengli and others were still worried about the difficult questions on the paper!

At this time, Hu Man, Li Dayong and others will go to Li Ye to give a lecture on the topic, and then discuss and share with other students.

But the scope of discussion and sharing will automatically stop when Xia Yue and others.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and drew a clear line with the small circle of Xia Yue and others.

Even the best-tempered squad leader Hu Man also refused their "asking for advice" to Xia Yue and others without any slightness or hardship.

"Is there any use to eat and chew like a baby all day?"

Now, Xia Yue and Jin Shengli are all stubborn, but they laughed at Hu Man and others for asking Li Ye for "eating ready-made" but then they can only go to the teacher for advice. It is obviously the same routine, but they still feel that they are on the top of the line than Hu Man and others.

Li Ye doesn't want to pay attention to them now. When he gets used to the happy enjoyment of doing papers every day, he suddenly doesn't have to do papers, which reflects people's true hearts.

.

It was almost noon when school was over, a teacher suddenly came to the repeat class to look for Li Ye.

"Li Ye, Li Ye, your family is here to find you and are waiting at the school gate!"

"My family?"

Li Ye was a little confused and hurried out.

He was afraid that something urgent happened at home.

Li Dayong also thought of this and hurriedly followed.

Today is Sunday, and no one attends classes except for the repeating class. The empty campus is snow-white, and you can see the distance at a glance.

From afar, Li Ye saw a small figure at the school gate, stomping his feet and jumping high because of the cold. It turned out to be his cheap sister Li Juan.

Li Juan was carrying a big bag, and she shrank her body in the cold wind, making her look even thin, weak and lonely.

Li Ye quickly shouted: "Xiaojuan, what's wrong?"

When Li Juan heard Li Ye's shouting, she did not reply immediately. She just jumped hard and smiled at Li Ye.

Li Ye rushed to the door in two steps and asked, "Xiaojuan, why are you here? What urgent matters are there at home?"

Li Juan shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Yesterday you should go home to get living expenses. Seeing that you haven't returned, my mother asked me to send you a cotton coat and a mattress.

Grandpa sent you a pair of fur cotton shoes, and I also sent them to you. Two pairs are just right for you."

Li Ye felt warm and hurriedly reached out to take the bag on Li Juan's back. Only then did he find that the right side of Li Juan's body was soaked with sewage and had ice.

Moreover, Li Juan walked from the west of the city to the east of the city through the snow, probably because she stepped on the snow nest, and her cloth cotton shoes had already been soaked.

He asked quickly: "Where did you fall? Are you injured? The cotton shoes are soaked, they are frozen to death, right?"

Li Juan shook her head into a rattle: "No, brother, I'm really fine if my cotton shoes are soaked, I'll just go back and roast the fire."

Li Ye was quite distressed and asked again: "Then why don't you go in and look for me? Why are you blowing cold wind here? If you really don't go into the communication room and wait for me!"

Li Juan shrank her neck and whispered: "I won't let me in."

"Don't let you in?"

Li Ye was a little puzzled and turned to look at the communication room at the school gate.

Although the school has regulations that people outside the school are not allowed to enter and exit, they always turn a blind eye. Who is so straightforward and firm in this kind of weather?

And looking at the chimney in the communication room, it is obvious that there is a stove inside. Logically speaking, a little girl is frozen like this. Everyone should let her go in and warm up. Why did she let the child blow the cold wind outside?

The person in the communication room just looked out, confronted Li Ye, rolled his eyes and sneered, and turned his head back.

This is interesting.

Li Ye raised his foot and was about to go over and ask a few questions, but Li Dayong pulled his arm.

"Old Liu, who is guarding the door, is a distant relative of Xia Yue. I guess he is looking for trouble if he has nothing to do!"

Well, it turns out that it's my own fault.

Li Ye thought about it and had no idea of ​​stepping on stinky dog ​​shit. He couldn't kill him after stepping on one foot. The poo that was touched with the soles of his shoes was still smelly and disgusting himself.

He handed the bag to Li Dayong and said, "Let's go! I will take you to dinner first."

Li Juan shook her head quickly and took out a stack of money from her pocket: "No, no, I'm still waiting for me to go back to have a meal. This is your living expenses this month."

But Li Ye ignored Li Juan's objection and pulled her arm and walked out.

At this time, the window of the communication room suddenly opened, and a half-large old man said calmly: "School hasn't been over yet! Are you going to skip school?"

Li Ye turned his head and shook his eyes, cursing: "It's nothing to do with you? Look at your door, don't let someone steal the door."

"Who are you scolding? Come back! I'll tell your head teacher to let your parents come."

Old Liu was furious and stretched his neck and whispered to Li Ye, but Li Ye ignored him and pulled his sister away.

If it were other students, they might have been frightened by this old man, but Li Ye, who had been a man for two lifetimes, knew these things very well.

The more cowards you are, the more he is. He really thinks he is a big shot.

They just used chicken feathers as command arrows to stumble. They really dared to go to the Academic Affairs Office to ask Li Ye to call his parents. Li Ye called his grandfather over and asked him to have a good drink.

I dare to let my granddaughter stomp his feet outside the door. Is the affordable food I gave you a few days ago?

....

Walking a few hundred meters east of the County No. 2 Middle School, there is a state-owned mutton soup restaurant. It is almost noon and it is Sunday again. You can smell it from a distance.

Li Juan has no intention of tugging with Li Ye at this moment, so it would be nice to stop her saliva from flowing out.

After entering the mutton soup restaurant, Li Ye bought two bowls of mutton soup, a pile of meat was cooked, and he started eating with Li Juan.

Li Juan was still a little unable to let go at first, so after drinking half a bowl of mutton soup, she started to swallow it after sweating all over.

Li Ye watched the little girl boil the fire and eat mutton soup, and even drink the soup base, but the appetite was not much smaller than that of himself.

Li Ye got up and wanted to buy it again. Li Juan quickly persuaded him to stay: "Don't buy it, I can't eat it anymore, I really can't eat it anymore."

Li Ye waved his hand: "I'm not full, so I'll buy another bowl and let's open it evenly."

Li Juan stopped and waited for Li Ye to buy it back. After a while, she ate it again. I don’t know if her little belly was full.

Seeing Li Juan burping comfortably, Li Ye asked with a smile: "How long hasn't eaten meat at home?"
