Chapter 11 Protect the People You Want to Protect
After the National Day, the national guard team screened personnel, and after passing the training assessment of the previous month, Bai Qiqi had already sorted out the list.
At the meeting on the evening of October 8, she gave the responsibility of captain to Fang Nuo, a sophomore who performed well.
Lin Yue hesitated again and again but still made a request to withdraw from the department, but Fang Nuo did not agree.
"Senior Sister Qiqi said that you are very good, and you are the key training object of the next captain, she expected that you would make this request, don't worry, I won't agree."
"Senior Sister Fang Nuo, I joined the Organization Department of the Youth League Committee and the Editorial Office of the Party Branch, and I can't be busy."
"When you join the national protection team first, you should consider the time arrangement, which is a necessary quality for college students."
"But I find that I prefer to work in the department, shouldn't we test the truth in practice?"
Fang Nuo's eyes revealed suspicion.
"Qiqi said, your request is likely to have something to do with Fan Xiao, if it is for this reason, I advise you to stay here, because you have the qualifications and potential of a member of the National Protector!"
Bai Qiqi was right, she was indeed because of Fan Xiao, but telling Fang Nuo so blatantly seemed to be small and superficial.
"No, Senior Sister Fang Nuo, I have really lost my enthusiasm for the National Guardian Team, and I am preparing for the fourth level, so I need to make time for early reading to memorize words."
"Isn't it really because of Fan Xiao? I still don't agree with you leaving the National Guard. ”
Fang Nuo thought that Lin Yue was prevaricating her.
"Senior Sister Fang Nuo, I won't come to the morning training tomorrow, if my attendance score is zero, I don't have the conditions to be elected captain."
"I want you to come." Fang Nuo still stood his ground.
Kang Di works at the ramen window of the halal cafeteria, which is decorated with a lot of exotic elements.
Ethnic minorities and foreigners alike dine here, and the young lady who sells tissues and drinks at the door is a veiled ethnic minority, her deep eyes and warm smile make people linger.
After a long period of training, Jiang Di has been able to deal with a series of emergencies in an orderly and calm manner.
Chen Li, an apprentice who is also here, is not very clever.
The proprietress of the ramen window is a chubby aunt with a high-pitched voice and a hot temper, and Chen Li's slow movements will attract scolding.
Although he was six years older than Jiang Di, he was skinny and taciturn, and the pestle was there, like a slender telephone pole.
Today, Chen Li was slapped hard by his aunt.
Here's how it happened:
Chen Li did not prepare enough flour in advance, resulting in the window not being supplied since the morning, and his aunt asked him to go to the fried noodle window to borrow a bag of flour, but he forgot to weigh it.
The uncle at the fried noodle window didn't notice how much Chen Liti had left.
In the afternoon, the uncle said that he had no noodles and wanted to take some back, and insisted that Chen Li had taken a whole bag of flour instead of half a bag.
The fat aunt made concessions first, "You take the rest away, emergency first, we won't do it." ”
After speaking, the classmates who queued up at the window pulled their voices: "I'm sorry, I'm out of face, the classmates who swiped the card will come to eat tomorrow and tell me!" ”
A black international student stood at the end of the line, unable to understand what was going on, Jiang Di explained for a long time in broken Henan English, and hurriedly gestured.
The black man had a question mark on his face, and he only understood two words the whole time: "sorry" and "tomorrow".
Transnational communication was fruitless, and the blacks walked away in disappointment.
At this time, a resounding slap in the back.
When Jiang Di looked back, Chen Li's face reflected a slap print, and he stood there stunned.
The aunt reprimanded her head and face.
"Can you do it? How many times? It's not the first time, right? People say you took away a whole bag of flour, you say you took away less than half a bag, who should I believe? Why are you so stupid? Do you remember how many copies you swiped just now? Tomorrow the students will come here to eat noodles, will this business still be done? ”
The hot soup in the pot was boiling, and Jiang Di hurriedly cut off the power, soaked the rag, and wiped the spilled soup stock.
"Look at Jiang Di, a little girl, do things Ma Lili, if I hadn't been soft-hearted and promised to keep you, I would have let you go, believe it or not?"
The aunt is red-faced and red-eared.
Jiang Di had never encountered this situation, and he panicked for a while, not knowing how to persuade him.
Auntie was angry, gritting her teeth and waving her fist, Jiang Di did not hesitate to hold Auntie's arm, turned back to Chen Li and whispered, "Apologize to Auntie!" ”
The "five finger prints" on Chen Li's face have not faded, he is very tall, but his heart is very small.
"I'm sorry."
Chen Li popped out three words from between his teeth, took off his work clothes and prepared to leave.
"Don't leave yet, let's clean up here." Jiang Di stopped Chen Li.
"You let him go! I'll recruit another one! ”
Jiang Di stood in front of Chen Li, "You can stay and work and lose the flour money!" ”
"Why should I pay? Half a bag is half a bag, I'm not going to lie. ”
"You're not lying, I saw you only carried half a bag, I saw it!"
Chen Li stared at Jiang Di, "Did you really see it?" ”
"I see it." Jiang Di said.
Chen Li's eyes lit up again, and he felt the warmth of trust again.
"Auntie, can I testify? Chen Li really only lifted half a bag of flour! ”
"You ask the uncle, see if they want another half of the bag, we saw it, but they didn't see it."
After the restaurant got off work, Jiang Di pulled Chen Li to the uncle to explain, and the uncle still believed that his whole bag of flour was taken away by Chen Li.
Chen Li stood there with a red face and didn't say a word.
Jiang Di suddenly found a job advertisement posted in the chow mein window:
This window recruits part-time staff at the meeting point, 15 yuan/hour.
Jiang Di smiled again.
"Uncle, can this excellent ramen maker in front of you apply for your part-time job?"
"Will he pull noodles?"
"Of course, anything will, just like a fake!"
The uncle looked at it and felt that Chen Li didn't talk much, and he should be a down-to-earth person, so he agreed.
In this way, Chen Li jumped from the ramen window to the fried noodle window, even if he was reluctant, there was nothing he could do, he could only go with the flow. At least not unemployed.
Jiang Di didn't see how much flour was in the bag, she just made a "sixth sense" choice.
Auntie began to recruit workers, and she didn't know if she could find someone as qualified as Chen Li, but the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to regret it.
Jiang Di recommended Tian Qiuya of the Taekwondo Club to his aunt.
"She runs a noodle restaurant at home, and she has helped her parents since she was a child, and she has good ramen skills, and there are videos of her on Douyin!"
Jiang Di flipped out Douyin Ueda Qiuya's "ramen performance", which made the fat aunt unable to close her mouth.
"That's her!"
Auntie watched Jiang Di cooking at the window, just like seeing herself when she was young, this girl really has eyes, as smart as she was when she was young! How to see how to like it.
Subsequently, the aunt not only raised Jiang Di's salary, but also promised to find a boyfriend for Jiang Di.
This sentence has been spread ten, ten to hundred, and everyone in the halal canteen knows that there is a girl named Jiang Di who is looking for a boyfriend at the ramen window.
Coupled with the aunt's overwhelming "marriage notice" every day, everyone really took it seriously after dinner.
The Taekwondo Club will set aside one day a month to open the performance activities to non-club members, and interested students can come to see it.
Ruan Yifan came with his roommate and met Jiang Di, a girl whose braids he grabbed during military training.
"Hey! Are you there too? Will you fight? ”
Ruan Yifan's height of more than 1.9 meters was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and he saw Jiang Di ready to go, and a boy holding three boards stood opposite.
Jiang Di kicked the wooden board in his partner's hand with a flying kick, "I'm from the Taekwondo Club, can you fight?" ”
"Awesome! It's Jiang Di! ”
Ruan Yifan looked around for a board and handed it to the boy, "Help me lift it, thank you." ”
Ruan Yifan imitated Jiang Di's posture and kicked the board away with a high leg lift.
Seeing that he was about to hit Jiang Di, he hurriedly used another high leg and kicked the board that fell in the air to the corner of the wall, and the wooden board rubbed off a large piece of wall skin and shattered it into two halves on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Because Ruan Yifan is tall, he can reach out and touch the position of the girl's hair.
"It's fine." Jiang Di flashed to the side and tied his hair into a small tug to avoid being touched by Ruan Yifan again.
"You really look like a Taoist priest!" Ruan Yifan couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Di kicked again, trying to give him a dismount, but his toes only reached his waist.
She looked up at the "towering" Ruan Yifan, and seemed to have encountered a very challenging opponent.
For Jiang Di, this kind of stimulating feeling is similar to "solving high math problems", how can he give up easily? Shouldn't it be taken in one fell swoop?
A vanadium grabbed Jiang Di's feet, she instantly lost her center of gravity, jumping in place, like a one-legged chicken, looking funny, causing everyone to watch.
"You let go!"
Ruan Yifan let go of his hand and raised it in the air, "I'm sorry." ”
"Do you know taekwondo?" Jiang Di was angry and anxious, and wanted to try it with him.
"I won't, are you going to teach me?"
Before the words fell, Jiang Di hit a vanadium knee with a sweeping leg, stepped on his leg, went up to his back, grabbed his arm, and tried to press him to the ground.
A vanadium is a giant! Although he is thin, he has strong muscles! While standing up, he was able to free his hand and restrain Jiang Di from behind.
Jiang Di lay motionless on Ruan Yifan's back, like a kidnapped "Thumbelina".
"Isn't this wrestling? Are you sure you're teaching me taekwondo? ”
Jiang Di blindfolded Ruan Yifan's eyes and struggled to go down, but as a result, he climbed higher and higher, and finally sat directly on Ruan Yifan's shoulder, and his head hit the ceiling.
She screamed in pain, Ruan Yifan couldn't see, so she could only slowly squat down to maintain her balance, Jiang Di rolled backwards, and finally escaped the clutches of the giant.
"Are you alright? I heard a 'bang' and thought the wood had hit the ceiling. ”
"You're the wood!" Jiang Di rubbed the back of his head, his facial features distorted.
"You look really in pain, didn't you leave any blood?" Ruan Yifan stepped forward to take a look and accidentally pulled out Jiang Di's hair.
This time, the head rope was directly untied, and Jiang Di's yellow-brown hair instantly spread out.
"Can you let go!" Jiang Di yelled in a Henan accent.
Ruan Yifan stepped aside and looked at Jiang Di sitting on the ground with messy hair, inexplicably cute.
"I'm starting to get interested in taekwondo, can I join?" Yi Fan silently watched Jiang Di arrange her hair, her fingers slender and her skin dark.
"You go and ask the president!" Her hair stood on end in a mess, like a volcano "smoking".
After the event, Jiang Di walked back with his clothes "scarred".
Yi Fan followed behind rather apologetically and kept saying, "Jiang Di, you won't be really angry, will you?" ”
"Can you go back to your dorm?" Jiang Di stopped.
"I'm on my way back to my dorm."
Jiang Di had nothing to say, he lowered his head and walked in front, and Yi Fan carefully followed behind, the setting sun shone on the bushes on both sides, and the small spots of light through the gap sprinkled on the two of them.
"Why did you join the Taekwondo Club?"
"I like it!" Jiang Di thought of Chen Li, who was bullied in the cafeteria today, his family must be very poor, weak, thin and lonely, she wanted to do justice for him out of sympathy, "Protect the people you want to protect!" ”
This kind of bold ambition actually came from the mouth of a girl, Ruan Yifan was shocked, and became more and more interested in Jiang Di, "Who are you going to protect?" ”
"A boy who doesn't know how to protect himself, he is always bullied, I really can't stand it."
"What's your name?"
"I can't just tell you!"
"How weak a boy needs to be protected by a girl! You let him train in a taekwondo club. ”
"He's so skinny that he can't go to a taekwondo club." Jiang Di explained seriously.
"You introduce him to me, and I'll take him to the gym."
Jiang Di ignored it, turned directly into the dormitory building, and stopped downstairs for half a minute before leaving.
Day and night, time never stops, and it tirelessly reminds people that a new day will always begin.
Lin Yue did not go to the national guard team for early training, nor did she ask Fang Nuo for leave, she went directly to the track and field to memorize words.
The ball game was just outside the track and field field, and Jensenjie and a boy were playing a singles round.
The echo of hitting the ball spread throughout the track and field, and every time Lin Yue recited a word, "Bang!" came to his ears. A loud bang, mixed with Jensenjie's mockery of the sworn friend's ball skills:
"Hold on! You're still so vegetable! ”
"Hahahaha......"
"Steady! Brothers! ”
"It's useless to work hard, you have to rely on talent!"
Lin Yue stubbornly carried in all kinds of fancy ridicule of Jensenjie:
"Dammit, dammit, what a dammit......"
