Chapter 257: Don't any of you play the dog catching mice and snatching the cat's job

Before the vacation, Mu Yunning notified that there would be a class meeting.

On the way to the classroom, Sun Xianjin leaned over to Li Ye and said: "Brother One, when are you returning to school? I'll come back to help you then."

Because Li Ye was selected for the school debate team, he would return to school earlier than other classmates to prepare for the National Debate Tournament in October.

But now that Sun Xianjin wanted to come back, he asked strangely: "Why are you in such a hurry to come back instead of staying at home properly to accompany your parents?"

Sun Xianjin smiled and said: "Can't I exercise my debate level if I come back? Skills don't weigh you down; I'll learn some experience."

"That's up to you," Li Ye said indifferently: "I'll be back in about fifteen to twenty days, but it's not guaranteed. If there's something at home, it's possible to delay for ten or eight days."

Sun Xianjin said enviously: "Brother, I really admire you. Others hate not being able to go home, but you... the key is that the school debate team can't do without you. You are worthy of being Brother One."

Li Ye smiled and pushed Sun Xianjin: "You can't say that casually! The school team is taking care of me, taking care of me, understand?"

"Mm-hmm, understand."

Sun Xianjin nodded and pondered: "Brother, my dad called me a few days ago and said he must come over to thank you in person, so send me a telegram when you return to school! Otherwise, my dad's vacation won't be easy to arrange..."

"Absolutely not," Li Ye hurriedly declined: "Xianjin, you are being too polite! That ginseng root is already hot to handle in my hands! If you drag the old man over again, I can't afford it..."

"What can't afford? And it's not like I don't understand. You are still mentioning that ginseng root... Brother, you say that, and I really feel uncomfortable. Besides, I can't control my dad either?"

Sun Xianjin was very unhappy with Li Ye's refusal. He felt he owed Li Ye too much and felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

One "Wanderer Returns Home" brought him too many benefits.

Not to mention the school side, after Sun Xianjin was on TV, his father, who served as a forest farm director in Heilongjiang, directly held a three-day banquet, and even local big shots called Sun Xianjin, telling him to study hard and serve the country.

So the more Li Ye refused, the more Sun Xianjin felt sorry.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "How about this! After you go back, get me two fur hats. I have two younger sisters, three younger sisters, the cute kind..."

"Also, if there are good mink coats, help me buy a few. Remember, it's helping me buy. If you don't take the money, don't waste that effort early; I'll get angry with you then."

Last winter, Li Ye bought a mink coat on the train, which almost caused a family conflict after he got home. This year, he was just thinking about getting a few.

"Fine, fine," Sun Xianjin hurriedly agreed: "I'll get you a bundle, all kinds... bear skin hats and bear skin coats are also available..."

Li Ye: "Is that... legal?"

Sun Xianjin was stunned and said: "Why isn't it legal? Tiger skin might not be safe, but what law did bear skin break?"

Alright! Guns weren't even banned in '83!

"Be quiet, everyone."

Mu Yunning arrived late. After getting on the podium, her face was calm and she had no smile.

"Everyone, remember the return time clearly. On the way home for vacation, you must pay attention to safety. If you encounter danger, don't be reckless. Find the 'hat uncle' (police) the first time; don't be a hero..."

"I'll emphasize it again, don't be a hero. You are students, not Dongfang Xu, nor Awakened Monk..."

Mu Yunning stood on the podium, emphasizing the vacation precautions again and again, looking at Li Ye and He Dazhuang many times, her expression stern and her tone fierce.

The security situation this year was more severe, and news of vicious incidents reached the ears of Jingda teachers and students from time to time, and there were several cases that made the newspapers.

So when Jingda went on vacation, Mu Yunning, this class advisor, was truly worried. More than half of the dozens of students in the class had to travel thousands of miles to return to their hometowns. If they encountered a thief on the way, should they stop them?

So Mu Yunning's nagging was more than a biological mother's.

Don't think that it's safe because it's crowded on trains and cars. In the first half of '83, there were people on trains who would let you "obediently put your money into my pocket," and on long-distance buses, it was even more direct—using a sack to pack it.

If it were just like this, it would be nothing. After all, in this era, the name of a college student was still a bit useful. Most people who took side paths wouldn't choose them to take action on, and pinning the school badge on the chest could avoid a lot of trouble.

But the bad thing was Li Ye's act of chivalry last semester, plus the large-scale spread of Jin Yong, leading to the fact that these economics students, who originally had a strong sense of justice, all had a thought of "chivalry and martial arts."

Not to mention He Dazhuang, who was bent on seeking revenge on Li Ye, and was now a core member of a martial arts society in the school, having already possessed eight months of skill from practicing 'hee hee ha ha' all day.

Even Seeing Zhen Rongrong, Chen Xiaoling, and others were obsessed. Every month after receiving their living expenses, they must buy a copy of "Wulin" to read, and in their spare time, they would practice against each other in the corridor according to the drawings, making Mu Yunning very annoyed.

Good swimmers drown in water. In the current situation, having a sense of justice and feeling that you can fight—isn't this a proper source of danger?

But at this moment, Mu Yunning had shouted eight times on the podium, but some classmates below just answered programmatically, clearly not taking it to heart.

Helplessly, Mu Yunning set her sights on Li Ye.

"Li Ye, you have experience fighting criminals, so you tell us, if our classmates encounter criminals, how should they respond?"

Li Ye understood in seconds and stood up: "If classmates encounter criminals, throw the luggage to the other party the first time, then run fast, and actively look for relevant department personnel. This can most effectively stop the criminal from committing violence and make the greatest contribution to society."

Mu Yunning looked at Li Ye and said again: "Say it more directly, why isn't it stopping them on the spot, but seeking help from the 'hat uncle'?"

Li Ye: "."

Mu Yunning had asked Li Ye before what level Seeing Zhen Rongrong and the others could practice to, and what would happen if they encountered criminals. As a result, Li Ye said very sincerely "it's not bad if you can run away," and if you act chivalrously, you will likely be destroyed by the criminal.

But you, Mu Yunning, should say this, why do you want me, Li Ye, to repeat it?

Could it be that I say "you are all weak chickens; if three fight one, it's just a matter of a few knives from the criminal?"

Oh my god, if I say that, how will the classmates look at me?

You think you are capable, right? You, Li Ye, acted chivalrously three against twenty-seven, we can't do three against one, right?

"Actually, what the class advisor said is very correct. If we encounter problems, we should choose the most correct solution. Criminals are naturally afraid of national armed personnel, just like mice are afraid of cats. Even if they hear a cat meow, they will be scared and turn around and run away,"

"So look at the movies, why do public security personnel turn on the siren far in advance? It's to eliminate danger in advance. When criminals hear the siren, they can't possibly still commit murder in panic, right?"

"But if it's us people without law enforcement power who take action, we might not be able to protect the masses, and might even make the criminals worse, crazily retaliating against the innocent people around us. Wouldn't we be doing bad things with good intentions?"

Li Ye finally said a reason circuitously, trying to dispel the chivalrous heart of the classmates in the class.

After all, these students basically didn't have the skills to "enter the blade with bare hands" against criminals. Choosing to report to the police was the best choice.

Later, Li Ye saw a news report that because the top soybean planting expert in China was harmed by a few hooligans, it caused a great loss to the country.

Although these Jingda students weren't experts yet, wouldn't they be in the future?

Many classmates felt it made sense after listening, but He Dazhuang suddenly asked Li Ye: "Li Ye, if you encounter the situation from last year again, what will you do?"

"First of all, you can't compare with me," Li Ye said frankly: "I'll say it very impolitely: if I have a stick in my hand, I can deal with any three classmates in our class in a narrow alley, and that's at least,"

"In addition, the situation I encountered last year was very special. It was very late at night, and there was no one else on the street except us,"

"And most importantly, the other party wasn't engaged in criminal acts like theft or robbery that seek wealth but not life... So my two companions and I had no choice,"

Li Ye paused and said: "So if they were engaged in petty theft at the time, or if there were public security nearby, I would definitely go to call people without hesitation, rather than taking action myself to stop them."

He Dazhuang opened his mouth, somewhat unconvinced, but finally didn't continue to ask.

Because the deeds of Li Ye kicking a table leg off had spread. He Dazhuang even went to see that lame table himself, and then secretly experimented on the tables in the class countless times.

The result was naturally that his feet were kicked swollen, but the table leg remained motionless.

Li Ye is so powerful and still chooses to report to the police first, what hero are you trying to be?

Mu Yunning stared at He Dazhuang sharply, making He Dazhuang shrink his neck, and then said loudly: "Did everyone hear clearly? What Li Ye said is very correct. Don't any of you play the dog catching mice and snatching the cat's job..."

"Hahahaha~"

Li Ye: "."

Teacher, that's not what I meant.

After dozens of classmates laughed, they remembered Mu Yunning's words in their hearts, with a bit less recklessness and three points more caution.

After the class meeting, everyone said goodbye to Mu Yunning one after another and went back to prepare for returning home. However, Mu Yunning stopped Li Ye.

"Li Ye, you stay."

Li Ye said helplessly: "Teacher Mu, I have been very cooperative with you... is that still not enough?"

Mu Yunning glared at Li Ye and said: "I have something else to find you for. When do you plan to write your application? Do I still need to take the initiative to remind you?"

"Application?"

Li Ye was stunned, and only then realized that Mu Yunning was asking him to write a Party application.

Last year, Mu Yunning and Wen Leyu had coincidentally planned a development route for Li Ye, but at the time Li Ye didn't respond actively, but he didn't expect Mu Yunning to urge him now.

So Li Ye said: "Teacher, this isn't urgent, right? I haven't even been in the League for a year!"

Mu Yunning's chest heaved, clearly suppressing her breath.

"You are not urgent, but the department has already asked about your situation twice. If you don't make progress again, that's my slackness and inaction as a class advisor,"

Mu Yunning didn't talk nonsense with Li Ye and directly ordered: "Also, tell your family when you go back this time to prepare the necessary certification materials for joining the Party, in preparation for subsequent review."

Li Ye was a bit uncomfortable with Mu Yunning's toughness and said sheepishly: "It shouldn't be this fast, right! Application, observation period... it's so troublesome."

Mu Yunning smiled, laughed out of anger.

She looked at Li Ye with contempt and said: "I also think it's too fast, but whether it's fast or not, doesn't it all depend on you? As long as you, Writer Li, want to toss, it can be as fast as you want."

"As long as you cause trouble once, you can be promoted once. In two years, even I, this class advisor, will have to curry favor with you!"

Li Ye also smiled and said jokingly: "Teacher, you must not use the word 'curry favor,' but if there is anything you need me for, just speak."

Mu Yunning looked at Li Ye and was silent.

Li Ye was very surprised. She always felt that Mu Yunning had something today, but it seemed she was embarrassed to speak.

Finally, Mu Yunning still said: "I do have something to trouble you with. I heard you have US dollars in your hands?"

Since the Solitary Army Literature Society had foreign exchange income, the school allocated them some quotas. Li Ye took the lion's share, with dozens of US dollars every month, not knowing how many people were jealous to tears.

Just these days, many people had pulled strings to exchange, but Li Ye always said one sentence: "I've already exchanged them for someone else."

Li Ye wasn't short of foreign exchange, but who he wanted to exchange with also depended on his mood and whether he felt a connection.

Although Mu Yunning always seemed to find trouble with Li Ye, every time Li Ye analyzed it carefully, she was actually thinking for him.

So Li Ye nodded and said: "Yes, Teacher, how much do you need?"

Mu Yunning pondered for a few seconds and said: "I need 500, but I can only afford a price of one to four. Consider it I owe you, and in the future..."

"One to four? Teacher, you are putting me in an unrighteous position! How can I, an excellent five-good youth with a bright future, do such a thing that destroys my own future?"

Li Ye very seriously extended two fingers: "One to two, slightly higher than the official rate, 500 US dollars, no change."

Mu Yunning: "."

In '83, the foreign exchange rate of RMB to USD was 1.9757. Li Ye's one to two was indeed slightly higher.

But if it were this exchange rate, anyone who was embarrassed to call it high was either a fool or someone else was rushing to exchange with you.

"Thank you, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Li Ye heard the word 'thank you' from Mu Yunning's mouth for the first time and felt it was strange.

However, he immediately asked Mu Yunning: "Teacher Mu, are you going to study abroad? Then Teacher, will you still accept my application? You won't not come back, right?"

Mu Yunning's chest heaved violently again, magnificent.

But Li Ye was so generous, she finally had to shake her head and say: "No, I got a short-term visa."

"Short-term visa?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "Teacher Mu, your boyfriend isn't overseas, right? Then isn't Teacher Jian from the Math Department just...?"

Recently, a Teacher Jian from the Math Department sent love letters to Mu Yunning every day, and everyone was used to it, but Li Ye's sharp eyes could see Mu Yunning's impatience.

Mu Yunning stared at Li Ye with wide, angry eyes and finally lost patience.

"Get lost~"

【Hmph, just now you used me to demonstrate to the classmates. If I don't tease you, you really think I'm a cute cat that can be stroked at will?】
