Chapter 37: Contradictions
On Friday morning, after an English class, Hu Fangfei asked about the school celebration performance.
Entertainment commissioner Jiang Xiaoyun's face was a little ugly, she stood up and said, "Teacher, we haven't decided what we want to perform?" β
Hu Fangfei was in a bad mood about today, she had hardly even laughed since class, and when she heard Jiang Xiaoyun say this, she smashed the textbook in her hand on the podium and made a loud noise.
The students below were frightened.
"What's going on?! Why haven't we organized a show until now, other classes have already started rehearsals, if you don't want to participate, just say it early, don't waste that time on this, and watch other classes perform when the time comes......"
After Hu Fangfei finished speaking, the classmates in the audience lowered their heads and did not dare to speak again.
Jiang Xiaoyun's face turned even redder, and she was extremely ashamed.
After class, Hu Fangfei asked Chen Lan to go to the office to get homework.
Zhou Tingting couldn't help but show a "silent" expression, and whispered: "It's smooth sailing." β
Chen Lan was speechless for a moment, and then walked to the office as if he were dead.
Hu Fangfei was really in a bad mood today, because she came to her relatives, and the head teacher of the key class next door kept showing off to her the program prepared by their class, and then kept praising how versatile the students in their class were. Hu Fangfei was so annoyed that she casually asked how she was preparing for the performance of her class celebration just after class, and the result was self-evident.
Chen Lan entered the office and did not go to get the homework book, but asked Hu Fangfei, "Teacher, are you not feeling well today?" β
Hu Fangfei was embarrassed to tell the students about her relatives, and said "um" with a face.
Chen Lan accidentally saw a white and familiar thing in the drawer opened by Hu Fangfei, and instantly realized.
"Teacher, I have a ginger tea bag, do you want to make a cup?" Chen Lan said tentatively.
Hu Fangfei's cheeks were slightly red, and she felt quite embarrassed, but her lower abdomen was really painful, so she had to nod and say, "Then I'll trouble you." β
Chen Lan has always had a bag of ginger tea, a jar of brown sugar and dried red dates in the drawer of her desk, since a few months ago after she was admitted to a relative in the sports middle school, she began to have menstrual cramps, these months every time the pain is unbearable, she will make a cup of brown sugar ginger tea, after drinking it is better.
It was inconvenient to cook at school, so she put a ginger tea bag, a few spoonfuls of brown sugar, and a handful of dried red dates into it, and soaked it in hot water in a thermos cup for more than ten minutes, and then she could drink it.
Hu Fangfei rubbed her eyebrows, and after taking a sip of brown sugar ginger tea, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something, but it really didn't hurt so much. "By the way, Chen Lan, what is your relationship with Jiang Xiaoyun?"
"It's so-so, and you can still talk." Chen Lan said.
Hu Fangfei took another sip of ginger tea, "Then do you know why she hasn't organized the show yet?" β
Chen Lan knows some reasons, but it's not good to tell Hu Fangfei, in the final analysis, it's all a conflict between the classmates, and when it comes to this matter, we have to talk about the selection of class cadres last month.
Jiang Xiaoyun originally ran for the secretary of the Youth League, but this position was occupied by the same dormitory, Jiang Xiaoyun was still worried in his heart, and he had a bad relationship with that person, because this matter isolated that person.
And that girl is not easy to bully, she has a strong personality, and if you want to isolate me, it depends on whether you have that ability.
The six people in the dormitory were divided into two groups because of the matter of the two, and they vaguely started a fight.
With the proposal of the school celebration performance program, the battle line of the six people was extended to the class. When Jiang Xiaoyun proposed to perform a sketch, a boy immediately choked her, and that boy happened to be a suitor for girls.
So later, every time Jiang Xiaoyun put forward an idea, someone else refuted it, Jiang Xiaoyun was so angry that he turned red on the spot several times.
Chen Lan is also depressed, they are all high school students, and they are still so naΓ―ve, if you don't play with me, I will isolate you.
Chen Lan is not a talkative person, so he didn't mention these things to Hu Fangfei, but said: "Everyone has just been in the same class for more than a month, and they may not be familiar with each other, so there may be some misunderstanding." β
"You help me talk to Jiang Xiaoyun, I lost my temper with her just now, and by the way, help me apologize to her." Hu Fangfei said.
Now that Hu Fangfei has spoken, Chen Lan can only do it.
"You can also help organize a show, all classes have signed up, but there is not a single program in our class, and it will be a shame and a big shame when the time comes."
The orchestra still has to rehearse, Chen Lan really doesn't want to take on this drudgery, "Teacher, my club still has a show to perform." β
Hu Fangfei said lightly: "This semester's three good students, I am optimistic about you." β
Chen Lan: Ξ£(Β°β³Β°|||)
Teacher, you can be so cunning.
"Guaranteed to get the job done." Chen Lan made a serious face.
After leaving the office, I realized that it had been a long time since I went to class, this class was a math class, and the math teacher was an old man in his fifties, and after he heard the "report", he pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose to look at her. After recognizing that it was the student who often came to the teacher's office, he waved his hand and let Chen Lan in.
Chen Lan didn't dare to be distracted in a math class, after the math teacher finished talking about the new content, she liked to call people on stage to do exercises, Chen Lan had a hunch that she would definitely be called this time.
Sure enough, the math teacher ordered her to go on stage with another boy to solve the problem.
The question this time was not difficult, plus she had a preview and listened carefully to the class, so she quickly solved the answer.
The math teacher commented: "Chen Lan's solution is relatively decent, and the answer is correct, but there are many steps in the middle that can be omitted." As he spoke, he crossed out a few unnecessary steps to solve the problem.
Chen Lan knows that science is her shortcoming, even if she has decided to choose liberal arts after the second year of high school, mathematics is still an important subject in the college entrance examination, so she must lay a solid foundation now, and it will not be too tiring to review in the future.
After math class, the morning class ends.
Chen Lan remembered the task assigned to her by Hu Fangfei, and had no choice but to stop Jiang Xiaoyun, who was going to eat with other classmates.
"I've got something to talk to you about."
Jiang Xiaoyun didn't know Chen Lan well, so it was strange that Chen Lan would chat with her, but she still let the two roommates go first and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Lan said, "Let's talk while eating." "A morning has passed, and the breakfast will be digested, and when the conversation is over, I am afraid that the canteen will be left with leftovers.
When it was time to eat, the dining hall was crowded with people, and there were several guys who cut in line, because Chen Lan was still in the back of the line, there was no way to organize if he wanted to stop it, and even the people in front of him didn't open their mouths to condemn them, what else could Chen Lan say.
After more than ten minutes of cooking, the two found a corner location.
"Little Butterfly talked to me just now." Chen Lan pondered in his heart for a moment before he spoke.
Jiang Xiaoyun was silent for a while, "And then?" "Do you want to remove her from her position?
Chen Lan didn't have mind reading skills, so she naturally didn't know what Jiang Xiaoyun was thinking in her heart, she continued: "Little Butterfly asked me to apologize to you on her behalf, she ...... today Well, I'm a relative, I'm in a bad mood, and I didn't mean to lose my temper at you just now. β
Jiang Xiaoyun was skeptical, would Hu Fangfei really say such a thing?
Chen Lancai didn't care whether Jiang Xiaoyun believed it or not, anyway, her words had already been brought, "There is also the school celebration performance, Xiao Butterfly said, we must discuss the program next Monday, she asked me to help organize it, the contradiction between you and Cai Yao is a contradiction, don't affect the class." "Cai Yao is the girl who fought with Jiang Xiaoyun in the ring.
Jiang Xiaoyun's face froze, "You better tell Cai Yao about these." β
Chen Lan said lightly: "I don't care about this, I hope you can all cooperate a little bit at that time, otherwise you will get into trouble with Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly will have a bad impression of you, don't blame me, as for Cai Yao, I will naturally talk to her." β
After negotiating with Jiang Xiaoyun, Chen Lan quickly finished eating and went back to the dormitory, oh no, go to Cai Yao's dormitory next door.
"Cai Yao, I have something to look for you."
Cai Yao is a petite girl, with short and crisp hair, and the school uniform is a little loose on her, with her always breezy expression, she looks a little handsome.
"Chen Lan?" Cai Yao walked out of the door and just happened to meet Jiang Xiaoyun who came back, and the two looked at each other, and Chen Lan seemed to be able to see the crackling sparks.
Jiang Xiaoyun remembered the conversation with Chen Lan just now, and walked into the dormitory.
Chen Lan said what he had just said to Jiang Xiaoyun, deleting and selecting to Cai Yao.
Cai Yao lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll try my best to cooperate with your work." β
The task was completed, and Chen Lan went back to the dormitory to take a nap.
After the afternoon class, she asked Zhang Jiajia to go home together.
Zhang Jiajia said that she would not go back for the time being, and that she would have to stay at school to read on weekends, and it would be bad to return to that home.
Chen Lan understood Zhang Jiajia's mood very well, so she had to go back alone.
When I got home, I saw Chen Yuan sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Chen Lan frowned slightly, and called Chen's mother, "Mom-"
Chen's mother poked her head out of the kitchen, "What's wrong?" β
Chen Lan put down her schoolbag, didn't even look at Chen Yuan, walked into the kitchen to help Chen's mother choose vegetables, and asked after a while: "Why is Chen Yuan here?" β
The kitchen is not big, the two of them are standing a little crowded, Chen's mother has to stick her shoulders against the wall, she picks up the spatula with her right hand and stir-fries the vegetables, hearing Chen Lan's question, Chen's mother doesn't care and says: "Their dormitory has been cut off for a few days, and she will stay at our house for a few days." β
Cut off the water? How could it be such a coincidence, the last time I went home, Chen Yuan still wanted to live in her house and sleep in her room, Chen Lan had to conspire theories.
"And where does she sleep these days?" Chen Lan asked.
Mother Chen looked at her amusedly, "Isn't the door of your room locked, who knows where you put the key?" β
Chen Lan grinned and said, "It's still Mom, you're the best." β
How could my mother not know that she had the key to hide her, and it must be an excuse that she didn't want Chen Yuan to live here.
"Alright, let's go out to eat." Mother Chen said with a raised face.
"Xiao Zheng, come over for dinner." Father Chen shouted.
"Okay, come on." Zheng Jie quickly typed a line before leaving the computer and sitting down to eat with the Chen family.
After a few days, Chen Yuan still couldn't figure out what the Chen family was doing, there were three computers in the house, and there was a woman she didn't know who played with computers in their house for a day. Since Chen's father and Chen's mother rented the first floor of the building as a warehouse last week, Chen Yuan didn't see the clothes with several sacks.
But even so, Chen Yuan heard the old lady mention that the uncle's family was doing business, but she hadn't seen the uncle and his wife go out to do business in the past few days......
As soon as she thought of this, Chen Lan asked Chen's mother, "Mom, when will the clothing store open?" β
After Lan Yue's clothing store was subleased to Chen's mother, Chen's mother was not in a hurry to open the store, but found someone to renovate the store, and found an announcement company to make a batch of flyers.
"It opens next weekend, so remember to come back and help me when the time comes." Chen's mother said.
Seeing that his mother is becoming more and more courageous, Chen Lan sincerely admires that more experience can really change a person's character.
With Chen Yuan here, Chen Lan didn't say much about the Taobao store.
After eating, Zheng Jie got off work, and Chen Yuan still didn't leave.
Chen Lan ignored her, took out the key from under the TV cabinet, opened the door and entered.
Chen's mother pretended to ask Chen Yuan casually, "Xiaoyuan, you came out to live for so many days, don't you care about the school?" β
Chen Yuan bit her lower lip and said with some embarrassment: "The teacher doesn't care about us, and several roommates don't live in the dormitory." β
Chen's mother was surprised, "What kind of school is this, the teacher doesn't even make rounds, the students don't spend the night in the dormitory, they don't care, what can I do if something happens?" β
Chen Yuan studied in an ordinary high school, the kind that can go to after paying the money, so there are all kinds of hooligans in the school, and the teacher can't control it if he wants to.
Chen's mother was helpless when she saw Chen Yuan like this, her sister-in-law's concept of patriarchy couldn't be changed, and she raised a son as a treasure and a daughter as a grass. However, if Chen Yuan can compete and study hard, even if he can't be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School, he can go to the county No. 1 Middle School, and he won't go to these high schools.
"And when are you going home? Your eldest brother is getting married next month, so go back and help out when you have time. Chen's mother said again.
Chen Yuan knew that Chen's mother was driving people away, and her face couldn't help but show grievances, "Auntie, can I stay with you for a few days?" All the money on me was stolen by others, and my mother will not pay for my living expenses until next month. β
Chen Yuan said so, if Chen's mother still drove people away, it would be really ruthless.
Mother Chen looked at her and sighed, "Why didn't you say it earlier." β
"Auntie, don't sue my mother, if my mother knows that I lost money, she will definitely beat me." Chen Yuan was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell your mother. You're going to stay here for the weekend. Mother Chen couldn't tell whether what Chen Yuan said was true or false, so she still took out three hundred and gave it to Chen Yuan, "Take it and eat, don't starve yourself." β
Chen Yuan took the three pink tickets and said, "Thank you, auntie." β
Chen Lan leaned against the door frame and didn't speak, her relationship with Chen Yuan was indeed not good, but thinking of Chen Yuan being forced to marry a widower in her forties in her previous life, Chen Lan also sympathized with her in her heart.
The specific reason Chen Lan didn't know, at that time, their family had long been cut off from the uncle's family, and they didn't even go back for the New Year, and later they still heard from people in the same village that Chen Yuan was married, and she was still married to a widower in her forties.
According to Chen Yuan's temperament, how can he be willing to marry a widower who is more than half a hundred years old, unless that person is a rich man, if he is really rich, he may not necessarily take a fancy to Chen Yuan.
In fact, the facts are a little different from Chen Lan's guess, Chen Yuan just gave that person a junior.
The man had a little money, his wife only gave birth to a daughter, and the man wanted to have a son to inherit the lineage, so he found Chen Yuan.
As for whether Chen Yuan was voluntary, it was not for Chen Lan to know.
