Chapter 8: Suddenly
When I got home, I hid the money in a box under the bed, which was my old place. I put my shoes in the corner of the bed, covered the box, and looked forward to the time when the Chinese New Year came, as long as it didn't snow and the ground was dry, I could wear them.
Since the snow started to melt today, there was water on the ground, and of course my shoes were soaked, so I had to go to the water room to wash them and bake them on the heating.
Lying under the covers, I began to think about what kind of new boots should I buy myself. After thinking about it, I didn't come up with what style I wanted, but instead, I thought of a tangled question, that is, should I give half of this money to Li Jie?
The money she stole from the class fee last time, and the money she gave her later, she hasn't paid back a piece at all until now, should I continue to give it to her?
This is the New Year's money that my mother gave me, and I am a little reluctant, and now, I really don't have any extra money. Last time, I promised my sister that if she saved 200 yuan for the Chinese New Year, I would reward her. Also, I want to buy a gift for my dad for the Chinese New Year, what if there are other uses for the New Year? I've got to keep enough for myself.
However, I promised her that if I didn't give it to her, would I be selfish?
I was torn between friendship and reality, and I began to hesitate when friendship and reality clashed together......
Could it be that our friendship is not yet indestructible? Or, is it the reality that I can't take into account that friendship must be selfish......
When I went to school the next morning, I handed over this question to Chen Yingjie to help me decide.
"Xiaoxiao, you shouldn't give her any more money. One, her life is her own choice. Second, if she starves to death and has her own family to take care of, what are you? Three, you gave her money so many times, I'm afraid you don't even remember how much you gave, is she a little grateful? A person who does not know how to be grateful does not deserve sympathy! ”
"But, Yingjie, you don't know, Li Jie was really pitiful before......"
"Xiaoxiao, then tell me, did she know how to cherish the money you gave her? Did she ever know how to be economical? ”
I shook my head, she really didn't understand. She took the money I gave her, and still squandered it as usual, so she ran out of money soon.
"yes, she doesn't even understand the basics, do you think you're an ATM or does she think you're an ATM? Do you need to do this? ”
"But if I don't give it to her, won't she be upset?"
"If she's angry, she's not fit to be a real friend, you know?"
"Oh......"
"Oh, you're big, every time." Chen Yingjie poked my head with his finger, and I couldn't resist the inertia and tilted my head to the side.
In the school, the snow is still melting, and the ground is full of water.
Chen Yingjie helped me to walk cautiously on the road, for fear that I would fall into the muddy water.
"Xiaoxiao." I don't know the person who called me. A girl with a goose egg face and big eyes handed me a red invitation, which I opened with confusion.
Wow, it turned out to be an invitation to a Christmas party.
"...... this?"
"It's fun for you to participate, Liu Wei specially told me to give it to you."
"Oh, it's Brother Liu Wei, can I bring a classmate with me?"
"Yes, don't be late."
"Okay, thank you, sister."
I took the invitation and looked at Chen Yingjie, and he had a wicked smile on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, are you going to take me? Hey. ”
"You think it's beautiful, I haven't decided whether to go or not!"
"Then why do you want to ask people if they can bring more people, I thought you were going to take me."
"Cut, what should I take you for? Even if I bring it, I want to take Yuan Xiaorong with me. ”
"What are you doing with her......
"You care about me, I will!" With that, I arrived at the door of Chen Yingjie's classroom, I ran a few steps, and he had to go in.
Why do I want to take Yuan Xiaorong with me? I don't know, it's just that my instinct immediately thought of her.
Perhaps, I want to give her a chance? Haha, when did I become so gossipy?
Not only sighing, where did the time go? Before you know it, Christmas is coming, and then the New Year is coming.
Back in the class, Li Jie was sitting in my seat. As soon as she saw me, she smiled and waved at me, and I immediately became nervous.
Recently, I haven't had many opportunities to talk to Li Jie, and she took the initiative to find me, she must have no money again.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here later than me today?"
"Oh, there was a bit of a delay just now."
"Xiaoxiao, look, Christmas is still a few days away, do you have any arrangements?"
"Maybe an event."
"Oh, then you lend me some money, and I'll go out with Wang Feng."
"Li Jie, I'...... There is no money. ”
When she heard me say this, she immediately lost her smile.
With a reluctant face, he said, "Oh...... Forget it, you go to the event, and we'll watch TV at home. ”
"Xiaojie, it's not that I won't give it to you. You see, my money is also hard-won, last time I was scolded by the teacher for getting you money, and the class leader also withdrew ......"
Before I finished speaking, Li Jie shouted at me angrily: "Long Xiaoxiao, what do you mean?" Are you blaming me now? You were willing to do it at the beginning, and now you say so? ”
"No, Xiaojie, I haven't finished speaking, I don't blame you, I mean, you see that I get you money so twists and turns, I just hope you can know how to save a little, our family is not a rich person, my parents can give me really not much pocket money, I hope you can understand me."
"Long Xiaoxiao, didn't you just lend me some money? Why do you count me so much! If you don't borrow, you won't borrow, how can there be so many things to say, as if you are great. ”
"Xiaojie, don't be angry, I really didn't mean that, listen to me......"
"I don't want to hear it, don't say it, I won't borrow money from you in the future, I will pay you back the money I owe you for the New Year, and you won't say that you stole the class fee for me in the future!" Li Jie's words were particularly loud, especially the last sentence.
As soon as she spoke, the whole class looked at me, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed in surprising unison. First it was full of surprise, then a suspicion, then contempt.
My face was hot, my heart was really angry, and my cheeks were about to bulge out, but the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't say a word.
I glared at Li Jie fiercely with resentful eyes. How could she do that? In front of the whole class, I said that I was stealing the class fee? What does this make my classmates think of me?
I secretly glanced at Wang Feng with my eyes, he looked down at the book, and his hand was on the table.
I don't know what he's going to think, and although I don't like him anymore, I'm still afraid that he'll misunderstand my character because of this.
Li Jie still sat in my seat casually, and continued to say loudly in an unimaginable tone: "Long Xiaoxiao, don't look at me with such eyes, do you think you are the Holy Mother of the White Lotus?" Shameless! I never want to say, you know my mind and promise to help me, but you rob me of the person you like, do you want face? Hum! From now on, you and I will be treated as if we don't know each other! ”
After saying that, she stood up, and she moved to the side, which was her seat.
Most of the eyes of the class were staring at my face, my face was really hot and uncomfortable, hotter than the slap I was by Hu Wengang at the beginning!
