Chapter 052: Election (I)
Li Zhengang looked at the house and felt that it was a little empty and simple, except for a dining table and two chairs, there was hardly any furniture to be seen, so he asked, "Brother, what do you think you need?" ”
Ye Qingtian smiled: "Brother is a little lazy and doesn't want to do housework. So it doesn't matter if there's anything else, it's just to have a washing machine. Then it is enough to prepare the futon. ”
At this time, ordinary people have not used washing machines, and when he heard that Ye Qingtian wanted to use such high-end electrical appliances, Li Zhengang was even more awe-inspired.
"Brother, let's go buy the washing machine first while we have some time this afternoon." Li Zhengang said.
"Then it's going to trouble Brother Li." Ye Qingtian considered that his time was indeed relatively small, and he was eager to move over, so he nodded and agreed.
Li Zhengang was very familiar with the road conditions in Nandu, and he took Ye Qingtian to Nandu Department Store.
When he arrived at the electrical counter in the mall, Li Zhengang asked Ye Qingtian to see which model of washing machine to choose, and he went to the mall to find acquaintances to see if it could be cheaper.
Ye Qingtian took a fancy to a Little Swan washing machine, and the salesman asked for 980 yuan, which was not cheap at all.
Although the department store at this time is no longer the era of a few years ago when you could buy things by relying on various tickets, a big shopping mall like Nandu Department Store is still very arrogant after all.
The aunt salesman in his forties looked at Ye Qingtian, who was dressed plainly, with disdain from time to time.
You don't look like someone who can afford a washing machine. She even thought in her heart that this young man had come to make trouble.
Just when Ye Qingtian didn't want to talk to her and wanted to pay for it, Li Zhengang and a middle-aged man came out.
"Qingtian, this is Mr. Zhang of the shopping mall. Mr. Zhang, this is my brother, you have to take care of it. Li Zhengang said jokingly with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man said hello to Ye Qingtian, and then said with a smile on his face: "Certainly, definitely, Brother Li, I Zhang Bo must take care of it." ”
This Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Bo, he is the deputy general manager of the shopping mall, he is in charge of security work in the shopping mall, and he often has business dealings with the Nandu Police Department.
In the end, Zhang Bo sold a Little Swan washing machine to Ye Qingtian at a purchase price of 750 yuan, and promised to ship it immediately.
Originally, Ye Qingtian was going to buy a futon, but Li Zhengang said that he wouldn't let him buy anything, and pulled him out of the mall.
Li Zhengang has been in the police station for many years, and he still has a lot of benefits during the New Year's holidays. He has several sets of things like mattresses and summer quilts at home.
So he went around again, went back to his house and took a military mattress, a mat and two summer quilts, and sent them to Ye Qingtian in a rental room.
Ye Qingtian originally shirked it, but Li Zhengang said: "This is all brand new things, don't dislike it, brother!" You move to a new house, if I, as an elder brother, don't send something, what kind of system will it become? If you refuse, you will look down on me! ”
Ye Qingtian was helpless, so he had to laugh.
When the two returned to the rental house, they found that the delivery worker at the mall had already delivered the washing machine.
After Ye Qingtian settled down, he felt relaxed. He decided to go back to school and move here tomorrow morning after the election of class leaders.
But this busy work came to six o'clock in the afternoon. After delaying Li Zhengang for half a day, Ye Qingtian was a little embarrassed and offered to invite Li Zhengang to dinner, but how could Li Zhengang let Ye Qingtian entertain.
On the grounds that Ye Qingtian was a student and had no income, he must invite Ye Qingtian to dinner. The two argued for a long time, and in the end, Li Zhengang prevailed, and the two went to the "Hot Girl" Sichuan restaurant near the school to eat casually.
Originally, Li Zhengang wanted to drink with Ye Qingtian, but Ye Qingtian resolutely refused considering that Li Zhengang was driving a police car and was not suitable for drinking. And it's not appropriate to see anyone in the afternoon. He's going to run for class president tomorrow.
He drank two catties of high-height Moutai at noon, which was a little uncomfortable, and Li Zhengang had no choice but to give up. He sent Ye Qingtian back to school and said goodbye to the two at the school gate. Li Zhengang left one of his big brother numbers, and repeatedly said that he would call Ye Qingtian if he had something.
After returning to school from the rental house, and taking some time to eat, it was getting dark. Ye Qingtian walked leisurely and slowly paced back to bedroom 311.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Haoyuan saw Ye Qingtian coming in, immediately closed the door, and said eagerly: "Old Five, you are so calm, you have drunk until now!" ”
Ye Qingtian said strangely: "What's the matter, why can't you hold your breath?" I mean, what's going on with all of you? ”
He rolled his eyes and saw that the brothers in the dormitory were all there, all staring at him with serious faces, and he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable.
Smelling the smell of wine on his body, as well as his leisurely appearance, the boss Li Fei said with some hatred: "Don't you know that you are going to run for squad president tomorrow?" ”
Ye Qingtian said: "You know, isn't it just running for squad president?" What's in it? ”
The second Geng Shaozu said angrily: "You don't know, in the afternoon, the candidates for squad president are all moving around to canvass votes, but you are good, there is no one in sight!" ”
"Oh!" Ye Qingtian shook his head inexorably and said, "If they pull the votes, they can pull it, I didn't want to be this squad leader." ”
Zhang Haoyuan immediately said: "Old Five, you are wrong. You are the representative of our 311, if you can't run for election, isn't it a little embarrassing! ”
Lao Qifeng Chaiyun also said: "Department, department, you must have a sense of collective honor!" ”
The third Liu Jie said: "The three goods came to canvass for votes just now, and they were blasted out by the brothers. You can't live up to everyone's expectations! ”
Nie Hairong and Ling Yunzhi also expressed their dissatisfaction with Ye Qingtian.
Ye Qingtian saw that the crowd was angry, so he had no choice but to mutter: "I originally said that I had a lot of things to do, and I didn't want to run for this squad leader, let the boss go, but he didn't go." ”
Li Fei said: "I'm clumsy and clumsy, not the material of the class cadres. ”
Zhang Haoyuan said: "Old Five, no matter what you say, you have to give a good speech in this election, and you can't embarrass our dormitory." ”
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingtian had no choice but to say, "Okay, no problem, I'll do my best." But I can't guarantee the outcome. ”
Liu Jie said: "I have also been a class cadre before, now let's discuss the speech with you." The other roommates nodded solemnly.
Ye Qingtian was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said, "Isn't it just a little squad leader?" Is it necessary to face the enemy like this? ”
Nie Hairong, who didn't speak much, said in a Xiangnan dialect: "Be prepared, don't fight an uncertain battle!" ”
Liu Jie had already taken out a pen and paper and quickly wrote an outline of his campaign speech. A few minutes later, with a wave, it was triumphantly shown to everyone.
Ye Qingtian leaned in and took a look, only to see that there were two parts listed on it: "Election Instructions" and "Speech Outline".
Among them, in the campaign instructions, it is stated that we should pay attention to personal appearance, be humorous in conversation, have sharp eyes, be sincere in attitude, and have something to say and be infectious.
In the outline of the speech, it is divided into three parts: personal introduction, policy agenda, and future planning.
"I didn't expect the third child to be quite experienced." Ye Qingtian and his roommates admired Liu Jie so much.
Liu Jie said: "Now, let's come one by one." The first is personal appearance, I recommend that the old five wear a suit and leather shoes. ”
Ye Qingtian smiled: "Pull it down." The brothers did not have suits and leather shoes at all. ”
Feng Chaiyun said: "Little brother, I have wow!" I can lend it to you! ”
Zhang Haoyuan said disdainfully: "Your kid is only 1.72 meters, and the fifth child will definitely not be able to wear it." Let's wear mine. ”
Ye Qingtian hurriedly said: "I'm not used to wearing a suit, and it's too hot to say!" ”
Liu Jie said: "Try it!" ”
While speaking, Zhang Haoyuan had already taken out a suit from the box and asked Ye Qingtian to try it on.
Ye Qingtian was still about to excuse himself, and Geng Shaozu said impatiently: "Fifth child, don't be hypocritical, try it." ”
Ye Qingtian had to put it on, and when he saw that his sleeves were short, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Looks like I don't have a suitable suit. The boss is estimated to be too fat, and I can't even wear the rest of you. Ye Qingtian said with a smile.
In the bedroom, Li Fei is 1.86 meters tall, Ye Qingtian is 1.8 meters tall, and everyone else is 1.75 meters or below.
Li Fei said embarrassedly: "I don't have a suit." "His family is not well-off, and he is financially difficult.
Ling Yunzhi hurriedly suggested, "Why don't you borrow one from another bedroom?" ”
Zhang Haoyuan flicked on Ling Yunzhi's head and said, "Damn, you're really ignorant, that's not shameful enough." I think I'd better go out early tomorrow and buy a set. ”
Ye Qingtian said with a sad face: "Brothers, let's not toss, okay?" We have the goods in our stomachs, and we don't need those superficial articles. ”
Liu Jie sighed and said, "If the will of heaven is like this, what can the husband say?" Let's take a look at the speech at the back and come up with ideas together. ”
Everyone began to refine the outline of the speech, Liu Jie made a record, and soon made a speech.
Ye Qingtian pretended to listen carefully, but in fact he didn't want to follow this outline at all.
He already knows what tomorrow's speech will be, and he doesn't need to read it from someone else's script.
But the concern of his roommates and the gags between his classmates made him feel good.
And he found that his psychology was also subtly changing.
Like before, with Ye Qingtian's strong self-esteem, he didn't want to tell others that his life was difficult, and he didn't want to reveal even the slightest.
But now, he is indifferent in his heart, and he can calmly look at these "scars" that he couldn't touch before.
And the selfless feelings between his classmates also made him feel better and better.
If it weren't for the sake of practicing, he would have been reluctant to go out and live.
Ye Qingtian had already decided that as long as his skills broke through a certain stage, he would often take time to go back to the bedroom to have a look, and he cherished this pure friendship very much.
