Chapter 38: Finding the Right Person
Tuesday the 15th.
Afternoon classes were cancelled and replaced with a school-wide cleaning, even for the third year of the graduating class.
The head teacher will notify the class in advance in the morning, assign a cleaning area to each group, and urge everyone to bring enough tools when they come in the afternoon, such as rags, water basins, cloth pockets, etc.
Every two or three months, Lingshui Middle School will organize a thorough cleaning of the whole school, and the tools used to clean the classroom are far from enough, and the types are not complete, so students need to be assigned their own tools.
For example, in addition to the common tools mentioned above, the second-grade students who focus on cleaning the playground should also bring some sickles to clean up the weeds that have grown in the playground.
With his best friend Sun Can as the benefit of the group leader, Lin An does not need to bring his own tools to school.
Strictly speaking, there are good and bad things to bring or not to bring tools. When the students are arriving, they will compensate for the light work they are assigned, such as staying in the class to sweep the floor, cleaning the windows, etc., while those who don't bring it have to do more tiring work, but bringing things to school is really in the way, and many students would rather do more than bring tools.
Behind the school building near the playground, near the flagpole, there is a large open space overgrown with weeds, which is an important part of the Monday morning meeting and one of the areas of responsibility for the junior high school class.
In that open space, most of the students in the same group were weeding and resting on the low-lying road, while Lin An was assigned by Sun Can to sweep the floor on the next section of the road, and by the way, he piled up the swept garbage on the side of the open space, and waited for it to be cleared later.
In Sun Can's words, the group assigned a few to sweep the floor, and the job of the same table is to help sprinkle water. That's why Li Man followed behind Lin An with a sprinkler bucket.
Of course, Lin An didn't realize that the sprinkler bucket used by Li Man was his own, and according to his estimate, Sun Can didn't dare to let Li Man bring any cleaning tools.
"What makes you so happy?"
Hearing the cold snort, Lin An turned his head and wondered if Li Man said this, it was so humane, it was too rare.
Li Man didn't have any expression on his face, looked at Lin An in surprise, signaled the broom handle in his hand not to shake around, and urged lightly, "How long do you want to sweep this small piece! ”
Looking down, Lin An realized that he had just been spinning in place for a long time.
There wasn't really much to clean on the road, mainly some dead grass roots and leaves piled up on both sides of the road, and paper scraps blowing from nowhere.
"Someone wants to buy the good things I used to collect, a lot of money, it's worth rejoicing. Lin Anluo finished speaking excitedly, and seeing that Li Man didn't react at all when he heard it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. swept forward for a short while, turned around and saw Li Man carrying a sprinkler bucket to spill over, he remembered and asked, "At next week's party, is there enough program for our class?"
"No, the first and second groups promised to add more choruses together, and there are still two less programs to count, and the entertainment committee is still urging the other groups. "The school attaches great importance to the party co-organized by the graduating class, and yesterday the head teacher also specially inquired about the preparation of the program. Hearing this, Li Man frowned and shook his head, maybe he heard people talking too much on the way out of school in the past few days, and because this was a matter for the whole class, he said a few more words, that's all.
After speaking, Li Man straightened up, the sprinkler shower in her hand was raised, and she glanced at Lin An, "Do you want to go up and play the piano, or sing...... Forget about singing. ”
"Originally, I had this idea, but now that I have no motivation to be hit, I refuse!" Lin An clutched his chest angrily, and when he saw Li Man ignoring and continuing to bend over and sprinkle water, he smiled and said, "If it's not enough, I'll wait to find Sun Can, he usually likes ghosts and wolves to howl, and going on stage can be regarded as showing results." ”
The water was sprinkled behind Lin An, Li Man stopped, put the sprinkler on the ground, took half a step back, stood in the middle of the high road, and glanced at Lin An. Ask if the show is enough, is it just for this?
"It's not. Looking at Li Man's look of wanting to see through people's hearts and lungs, Lin An waved his hand helplessly, and said in a straight voice, "I am a member of the class of outstanding students......"
"The water is gone, I'm going to fetch water. Li Man bent down to carry the bucket. I've always hated people who sell and boast the most, and now I hate them even more!
"Good, good. Lin An couldn't help but admit defeat with a smile, "I'll do it, as a ...... An ordinary member of the class should also prepare a program for the party. Although I play the piano well, I perform too ostentatiously on stage, you know, I've always been very low-key...... Good. That's right, seeing that everyone is busy for the party, I don't think I can be so idle, and I don't want to go. I want to ask you, in addition to the show, is there any work I can do for me to help ...... Help!"
Retracting the hand that went to get the sprinkler bucket, Li Man frowned and thought, "The party is over, and there are two people in the class to help sweep the floor." ”
Lin An looked at the big broom in his hand speechlessly, "Also, is there a more meaningful job?"
"The windows and rows of chairs in the small hall should be wiped again before the party begins. Li Man's upper body leaned back slightly, his arms slightly wrapped around him, and he fell into deep thought.
Looking at this cold little face, listening to this serious tone, it is really hard to think that this is playing tricks on others, but Lin An is sure that it is.
Before he could continue to ask, he saw Li Man's eyes narrowing suddenly, he turned to look over, and saw Song Chunfei coming from the opposite corridor.
Song Chunfei came to a stop and looked at Lin An who was standing in a low-lying place on the side of the road, and when he turned his head to face Li Man, his face was already sunny, "Your first class is cleaning here." ”
Li Man's expression was completely blank, "What's the matter?"
Lin An is not the only person who is used to Li Man's cold appearance in the school, Song Chunfei nodded, "Yes......"
Seeing that Song Chunfei wanted to speak and stopped looking over, Lin An dragged the big broom in his hand on the ground a few times, and said seriously, "It's okay, if you have anything to say, don't disturb me to sweep the floor." ”
Song Chunfei had a hat on his forehead, moved his feet, turned his back to Lin An, and said to Li Man with a smile, "Is the program schedule of your class out? I heard that there are still a few left, isn't it? If we don't make enough, our class can schedule two more programs." ”
Li Man replied calmly, "No need, our class can solve it by ourselves." Didn't you just hand in the program on Friday?"
"It's Friday, so there's no hurry. I came to you for another thing. Song Chunfei turned his head and glanced at it, the "rustling" dubbing disappeared, and when he turned his head, the "rustling" dubbing continued to sound. He barely maintained a smile on his face, "Zhang Xue, the fourth class who hosted the party with me, had an uncomfortable throat, saying that she had chronic tonsillitis, and I was afraid that it would not affect the host that day, so I asked the teacher to find a new girl to replace, I think ......"
"I'm not free!" After Li Man finished speaking, he looked at the road impatiently, Song Chunfei stood behind him, he had just been swept clean by Lin An, and she was going to sprinkle water over.
"Oh, no, that's no way! I'll ask the other classes. Song Chunfei walked to the side of the road understandingly, turned around and walked back to the teaching building. ,
"Mr. Song. Lin An leaned on the broom handle, suppressed his voice, and said with eyebrows, "Today's cleaning is early after school, and I don't want to go to the Internet café to play CS, I just have time." ”
Song Chunfei's smile froze, his face was red and white for a while, and he quickly looked at Li Man who was quietly sprinkling water, he glared at Lin An coldly, and then walked away quickly.
Smiling at Song Chunfei's figure hidden in the corridor, Lin An turned around, only to see Li Man glancing over with a cold face, and he was busy explaining, "Just ask casually, I don't really want to go to the Internet café to play games." ”
"Boring!" Li Man snorted with a cold expression, put the sprinkler on the side of the road, and glanced at the place where he had just finished sweeping to sprinkle water. Seeing Lin An pick up the broom, she moved forward and began to sweep, and after a moment of silence, she thought for a while and said, "I really want to contribute to the class, you just take pictures of the classmates that day, it was originally going to be handed over to the entertainment committee to do it together, and if someone shares it, it can make her relaxed." ”
Lin An turned around and raised his head with a smile, "Let me take a picture, you really found the right person." What exposure, fill light......"
"The water is gone, I'll go fetch water!" Listening to the rhetoric of this tablemate, Li Man felt powerless, carried the sprinkler bucket with little water left, and walked towards the pool in the distance without looking back.
