Chapter 30: The Rebirth of the Macho Club

Since the head teacher suppressed the fighting activities of the major "gangs", the fun of martial arts has been lost, and the "gangs" have no meaning of existence, and the large and small "gangs" have gradually died down and dissipated into nothingness. The only thing that remains is the friendship that was originally established through the "gang", which continues to shine in the usual study life.

The same is true of our "Macho Club", even if the club no longer exists, the tacit understanding that has been formed between me and Song Hongyi still continues, that is, to meet to eat barbecued sausages!

Grilled sausages are really not something that can be eaten casually, one grilled sausage is equal to 4 packs of crispy noodles, in the eyes of us who are used to eating crispy noodles, eating a grilled sausage is like the next restaurant, it is an extremely luxurious thing. That's why we're only willing to buy sausages and splurge them when it's time to celebrate.

So what is a time to celebrate?

For example, when you win a crucial contest. Of course, this no longer exists.

For example, when you win a football match. Once a week, in a physical activity class, Song Hongyi and I would go to play football. It's rare to have such a whole class time, and indulge in running on the green field. If the record is relatively good and there is nowhere to put the full spirit, then entrust it to the roast sausage.

Let's say it's a birthday. As agreed before, Song Hongyi and I will treat each other to eat barbecued sausages on each other's birthdays.

It was Song Hongyi's birthday again, and we happily came to the commissary.

"I started drooling last week for today's sausage." Song Hongyi said.

"Haha, me too, I couldn't sleep with excitement yesterday when I thought of being able to eat grilled sausages." I say.

"You're in for a treat, what are you excited about?" Song Hongyi picked up the roasted sausage and took a bite.

"I don't care if I invite you to eat it or not, I'm just excited to eat grilled sausages." I snorted lightly, picked up the grilled sausage in my hand and took a big bite. The tender fragrant meat is particularly chewy in the crispy wrap, which makes people have a long aftertaste. For this meal, I have been frugal for 2 weeks.

"Anyway, I don't usually see you shopping." Song Hongyi asked me curiously.

To get to the point, I really don't buy much, I always feel like I don't have anything to buy. Many of the students in the class, including Song Hongyi, often go to the commissary to buy things, usually crispy noodles or some snacks similar to crispy noodles. I, on the other hand, wasn't really interested in snacks per se. Maybe that's a big difference between me and humans.

Since I was a child, my parents have warned me that it is not easy for us cat people to work hard in human society, and we must save money. Therefore, I have not been exposed to many snacks, and I don't have as many desires as other students. They buy weird snacks and sometimes share them with me. But I don't really have any appetite at all.

Only crispy noodles and grilled sausages are my favorites.

The noodles are particularly pleasant to chew, just like reading a text aloud, and the whole mouth is particularly rhythmic in the continuous oscillation, bringing people a beautiful enjoyment in the slight numbness.

Needless to say, I often smell the breathtaking aroma in the kiosk, and my saliva breaks out when I stare at the fat and juicy sausages in the oven. It's a pity that its price is a level higher than other snacks, and it is beyond the scope of my frugality. Sometimes we develop a good habit of self-discipline, not because we have a strong determination to resist temptation, but because we are poor.

"I don't think there's anything to buy," I said, "I'm only interested in crispy noodles and grilled sausages, but crispy noodles are not good things and you can't eat them every day; Grilled sausages, you know, can't be eaten very often. ”

"How much pocket money do you have a month?"

"I don't know, anyway, every time I buy study materials, my parents will give me a sum of money, and they let me keep the extra part myself. What does it mean to spend a month? Do your parents give you a sum of money every month? ”

"yes, don't your parents have one?"

"No! Why do you want to give me money? I don't buy much. ”

"Okay." Song Hongyi put on an incredible expression, as if he had seen an anomaly. "It's so pitiful, I don't even have my daily pocket money."

"Haha, probably because of poverty." I squinted and smiled sheepishly. I remembered the small courtyard surrounded by brick bungalows, overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, and much inferior to Shen Yun's family, probably our family is really poor.

"Have you counted how much money you have?"

"No, such a scattered pile, how can you be in the mood to count carefully."

"A bunch! A lot? ”

"yes, a dazzling bunch."

Song Hongyi looked at me in surprise, his eyes full of admiration.

I didn't know why he admired him so much, until I carefully counted how much money was in my bag under his reminder, and found that I had accumulated nearly a hundred yuan.

"Wow, you're called poor too?" Song Hongyi's eyes were about to jump out. "I want so much money that I can't resist eating grilled sausages every day."

"Okay, but I don't really want to buy anything, probably because I'm too lazy to run to the commissary." I continued to laugh.

"I have an idea, if you think it's possible, we'll do it."

"What's the idea?"

"I only get my pocket money once a month, but there are always days a month when I want to eat but don't have money. Can I borrow some from you and pay you back when I have pocket money? ”

I thought for a few minutes and agreed to his proposal: "I can lend you money, but you must pay me back after a month." In addition, I have to charge interest, and when the time comes to pay me back, give me an extra five cents, how about it? ”

"Meaningless, no problem!"

"If you exceed a month, then give me an extra five cents for every month you exceed, how about it?"

"Okay! So, can you lend me 2 dollars today? ”

I took out two coins from my bag and gave them to him, and he bought some more snacks and shared them with me, and within a month he gave me back and gave me an extra five cents.

Gradually, other students who had a good relationship also came to me to borrow money, and all of them were implemented in accordance with the regulations, no matter how much they borrowed, the monthly interest was 5 cents. I don't usually spend much money myself, so the savings in my schoolbag are getting bigger and bigger, but there are more students who want to borrow money, and there are situations where I can't borrow enough.

Song Hongyi made a suggestion: "Why don't we also keep our pocket money with you, so that everyone can use it." ”

"No, I never take other people's things, let alone money." I feel like I'm going to be uncomfortable if I do that.

"I won't let you keep it for nothing, I'll give you a five-cent management fee every month."

"Huh?" It sounded attractive, but I always felt that something was wrong.

"If the money is in your place, I can ask my parents for more money, haha." Song Hongyi smiled maliciously, "In addition, in this way, we have a small treasury of our own, which is exciting to think about." You will be responsible for bookkeeping, and I will be responsible for absorbing more students to save. ”

"So relieved to let me keep the account?"

"You have such excellent grades, you are so careful, you have the ability to be self-disciplined, and you don't spend money indiscriminately, I believe in you. Also, since we're going to build a public treasury, let's do it in the name of the organization. ”

"In the name of the organization?"

"yes, just like the macho club before...... Well, we might as well stick with the Macho Club! Song Hongyi pondered, "In order to make it more formal, let's design a club emblem." ”

"Okay!" I was excited, "I love designing icons!" ”

"We want to design an emblem that can reflect the characteristics of our club, the characteristics of the 'Macho Club'! Well...... Think about what makes us special. ”

"The feature of the macho club, of course, is 'macho man'!"

"Hehe, I feel so funny when I mention these two words, why was I so talented in the first place, I thought of these two words. It looks like it's serious, and if you look at it a few more times, you will feel super improper, super funny, and super two. ”

"That's not what you came up with." I complained to him, and then fell into deep thought, "'Macho man', it's not difficult to design a emblem based on this." The word itself is very graphic, what can you think of? ”

"I think of explosive muscles." As he spoke, Song Hongyi raised his arms and struggled to stretch out the biceps muscle, which was not obvious. "A trademark like the Jinba menswear."

"No, no, no, we can't use someone else's trademark. And I think it's too earthy to just show off your muscles, and there's nothing new at all. ”

"And what do you think of?"

"I think a person's might is not only physical, but also spiritual, temperamental. I think of the western cowboy, the cold and handsome shape, under the cover of the brim of the hat has a unique charm, hidden but aggressive, that is the most perfect image. ”

"Uh-huh, that's a good point, I agree!"

It was quite difficult for me to draw such an emblem directly, so when I got home that day, I searched the Internet for the closest image to my ideal. The emperor paid off, and soon I found a nice picture of the side face of a gentleman in a top hat.

I made a simple modification to this picture, so that the gentleman took a cigarette in his mouth, and the clouds floating out of the cigarette butt formed an S shape in the air, which looked much more domineering and powerful, especially in line with the temperament of a "macho man". Then I used an ellipse as a background on the outside of the gentleman's head, and marked the word "MENMAN" underneath, which is the English name of the club, which I just came up with. "MEN" just happens to be "fierce", and "MAN" happens to be "male", which sounds good together.

I stared at the picture in front of me for a long time, and the more I looked at it, the more subtle it became. The whole picture is completely black and white, which has a very good sense of the American mafia. In the end, I printed it out, proudly pasted it in my stationery box, and distributed the rest to each of our members tomorrow.

Song Hongyi was very satisfied with it, and happily took one and posted it on his stationery bag.

This was done, but I still didn't understand a little bit, so I asked him, "So how do you attract people to join in and save?" ”

"Let's set up a dividend mechanism, we will pay dividends at the end of each semester, and everyone can get a profit share in addition to getting back the principal!"

"Profit? Where did it come from? ”

"It's the interest received, we count all the interest separately as profits!"

"Great idea, just do it!"

So our "Macho Club" reopened, and the former good friends came to report, took away the emblem, left savings, and the small bank was put into operation.

One day, Xiaomei stretched out her scissor hand to me again.

I understood, and immediately tore off two sheets from the rolling paper, and was about to hand them to her, but was stopped by Song Hongyi.

"Xiaomei, this is the public property of our club, you can't take it casually." Song Hongyi said.

Xiaomei was stunned, slapped Song Hongyi's table, and then shouted: "What does it matter to you about the transaction between my Xiaomei Kingdom and the Cat Kingdom?" ”

"This roll of paper is now our currency, and a piece of paper represents a dime! Do you think you took two cents for nothing? ”

"Huh! Where did this rule come from? ”

"Hey, forget it, our internal rules will not stand in front of outsiders." I persuaded him.

"No, you can't be cheaper!" Song Hongyi did not give up.

"Who do you say is peeling?" Xiaomei slapped Song Hongyi's table again.

This sound alarmed Lin Ximeng, who usually rarely paid attention to us, she turned her head to glance at it, and then turned back silently.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, I'll popularize it. This paper is actually the currency of my cat country, it is different from other currencies, other currencies are worth more than one, my cat currency is different, it is the opposite. Look at this piece of paper, it represents a dime," I said, tearing a piece of paper and holding it in my hand, then tearing it in half, holding half of it, "Now it's half the size, but it's worth twice as much, and that's two cents." ”

Under the inexplicable gaze of Song Hongyi and Xiaomei, I continued: "If I tear it up by half, then double it again, now it's four cents, and then it's eight cents, and so on." Do you understand? ”

Song Hongyi and Xiaomei were stunned and speechless, and then I tore it from the roll again, which were two pieces of paper connected together: "Oh, this is twice the area of a piece of paper, which represents 5 cents." And then there's a 5-cent for that. ”

Saying that, I tore it again in the same way, and then handed the two pieces of paper to Xiaomei, "Two five-cent ones are for you, and it's one dime." Then you just pay me back. ”

Xiaomei was still stunned: "What's the hair?" ”

"Just tear one up for me," I said.

"Oh." Xiaomei teared one off and gave it to me.

"That's it, you've paid it off, it's okay, let's get ready for class."

Xiaomei turned back in understanding. Song Hongyi hasn't scratched his head yet, but he is not happy to delve into it either.

Lin Ximeng seemed to be amused, covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head to look at me after a "poof".

There seemed to be a mysterious light in his eyes, which was different from what I had seen before, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of hair in my heart.
