Chapter 46

When Li Ye called a few classmates to leave in front of Teacher Luo and indicated that they wouldn't attend self-study class in the classroom in the future, Xia Yue and the others thought they had heard wrong.

After all, looking at Li Ye's fierce posture just now, it didn't look like he was going to let it go.

【We, this counts as... winning?】

Watching the backs of Li Ye and the others leaving, Xia Yue couldn't help but feel the joy of "exhaling and raising her eyebrows."

Actually, Xia Yue was also a diligent student before. Girls in this day and age all knew the preciousness of learning opportunities. In order to get rid of the monotonous fate, they were all studying desperately.

But as long as she saw Li Ye, the anger in her heart would rise, and no matter how she pressed it, she couldn't suppress it.

Was it because of Lu Jingyao?

Xia Yue couldn't explain it clearly herself.

"Finally drove these black sheep out."

"Exactly, the ears can finally be clean in the future. Ever since Li Ye came to our class, it hasn't been peaceful."

"They shouldn't have stayed in our Class 1; they should have been let go to Class 2 and Class 3."

"..."

Jin Shengli and the others were also very happy. In their view, it was the whole class, under the leadership of him and Xia Yue, that defeated a small group of heretical elements who destroyed class unity and curbed the sinister attempt of Li Ye and others to drag down the collective grades of Class 1.

So after Li Ye and the others walked a little further, Jin Shengli even led a few students to clap excitedly and wave their fists symbolizing victory.

Li Ye led eight people and just walked across the playground when faint applause came from behind.

He didn't care, but the few classmates who walked with him were already suspicious and uneasy, and now hearing the applause made them feel even more uneasy.

"Li Ye, us doing this... will it be bad?"

The one speaking was Han Xia, a girl who adjusted from Class 2 to Class 1 with Hu Man and Li Ye, and was also one of the girls who firmly defended Li Ye during the conflict with Xia Yue and the others some time ago.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Where do you think it's bad?"

Han Xia hesitated and said: "We didn't do anything wrong; why run away? If this continues, others will laugh at us, and we... will really become people who don't unite with classmates."

Li Ye looked at Han Xia and said seriously: "Han Xia, remember one sentence: we only unite with people worth uniting with."

"People worth uniting with?" Han Xia was a bit stunned and whispered: "Just us few? Too few, right?"

"Seven people is not few," Li Ye said positively: "You might feel now that we few are a minority that has broken away from the organization and the masses,

But you will know in the future what a luxurious and happy thing it is to have seven intimate friends in one's life."

"Haha, Li Ye, you say this... sigh..." Organization organization

Han Xia and the others heard Li Ye's words, and their inner uneasiness diminished a lot, and their hesitant steps became lighter.

It was just that there was one more female classmate who lowered her head and followed at the end, separated from Li Ye by more than ten meters.

Han Xia looked back and shouted: "Jiang Xiaoyan, hurry up; don't dawdle."

The girl looked up at Li Ye and gave a light "oh," then quickened her pace slightly.

Jiang Xiaoyan, like Li Dayong and Fu Yingjie, was originally a "top student" in the Repeat Class 1, but she had always been a marginal person in the class.

After Hu Man became the new monitor, she noticed this transparent girl and successfully "hooked" her over with just a few test papers.

Then, a few people did questions and explained questions to each other, and slowly felt that they were quite compatible.

Especially after the last test, Jiang Xiaoyan firmly believed that Li Ye was not a Huang Shiren at all, but a capable and kind student.

When Xia Yue arranged Li Ye once, the weak Jiang Xiaoyan, who was like dough, actually argued with Xia Yue and the others. Although she was scolded to tears by Xia Yue in the end, she still cried and argued at the same time.

Thus, she was selected by Li Ye as one of the seven.

It was just that Jiang Xiaoyan was born timid. Today, when Li Ye called her to leave the classroom and choose another place for self-study, she was very hesitant and panicked. Finally, she might have known that staying in the classroom would be targeted by Xia Yue and the others, so she lowered her head and followed Li Ye.

A dull and honest student suddenly leaving school would always panic.

Like Fu Yingjie, Hu Man, Han Xia, and others, they were also somewhat panicked and hesitant.

Perhaps only Wen Leyu followed Li Ye without even thinking.

At that time, she didn't ask anything. As soon as Li Ye said he wanted to find a place for self-study, she immediately started packing her schoolbag and was the first to rush out of the classroom, walking faster and more firmly than Li Ye.

The little girl is smart!

【You bunch of blockheads, how do you know Li Ye's good?】

In the eighties, the grain system was definitely a very awesome unit. Various grain and oil stores and grain points supported I don't know how many state-owned employees who looked at people with their chins raised.

The No. 2 Grain Store was such a grain and oil supply point. It wasn't very busy usually, but when the monthly plan came down, half of the city's urban residents would take their "supply books" to buy low-priced rice, flour, oil, and salt, and then go to the vegetable company to buy vegetables, purchasing daily necessities all the way.

So the storefront of the No. 2 Grain Store facing the street wasn't big, but the courtyard behind was quite large. Not only were there large warehouses for storing grain, but there were also small warehouses for storing scarce materials.

Li Ye led Wen Leyu, Hu Man, and others out of the school gate for a hundred meters and circled to the back door of the No. 2 Grain Store. Before he could call the door, he heard a burst of "woof woof woof" barking.

A golden-haired local dog lay at the crack of the gate, making a vigilant threat toward Li Ye and the others, making the few timid girls not dare to approach.

But soon the gate opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties kicked the yellow dog aside and then showed a smile toward Li Ye.

"Xiao Ye, why did you come today? Didn't you say tomorrow?"

"It's okay, Uncle Huang; anyway, the room is cleaned up, so it doesn't matter if it's a day early or a day late."

Li Ye led the classmates inside. He wasn't too familiar with this man; he only knew his surname was Huang and he was the person in charge of the No. 2 Grain Store.

After Li Zhongfa knew that Li Ye helped people with questions that day, he greeted the people below and cleaned up a small warehouse near the No. 2 Grain Store for Li Ye to use as a self-study room.

Old Huang was very enthusiastic toward Li Ye and led Li Ye toward a door with a cotton curtain hanging on it.

"After Director Li arranged it, we hurried to clean it up. It's just that the newly built wall skin is a bit damp. I've already lit the stove, and it will be completely dry tomorrow."

Lift the curtain, push the door, enter the room.

A wall was newly built in the middle of the small warehouse, dividing it into two rooms, one large and one small. Two stoves were built inside and outside, and the rumbling charcoal fire was burning vigorously,

The thick warmth immediately enveloped Hu Man and the others who were shivering.

"Oh my~, this is so comfortable."

Li Dayong shouted first. After suffering for so many days in the cold classroom and dormitory, suddenly coming to such a place, it was definitely comfortable to the extreme.

Several girls were also very happy.

Even the poorest girls love beauty. In the middle of winter, a pair of delicate little hands were frozen into carrots, and even cracked a few openings; who would want that!

Li Ye was also quite satisfied. This Old Huang was a smart person. In the small room separated, a small heated brick bed was built. Li Ye immediately decided to live here at night.

"It's too much trouble for you, Uncle Huang, but there will be a few friends sending things over in a while; you should tie the dog first."

"Okay, okay, I'll go tie it immediately. The nature of our unit is different; it really won't work without someone listening to the movement at night. You understand more."

Old Huang was about to go out to tie the dog when he heard the dog outside barking again.

Jin Peng and Hao Jian dragged a flatbed cart into the courtyard.

"Come, come, classmates, help unload the cart!"

Li Ye greeted Li Dayong and the others to unload the cart, a large pile of pots, pans, tables, and chairs.

Hu Man asked curiously: "Li Ye, are you planning to start a fire here?"

Li Ye said: "Right, our learning progress will speed up in the future. Going to the school cafeteria also requires queuing; saving a little time is good. One meal is one dime, eat whatever you want."

"Good! You big rich man, are you still collecting money! We thought we were following you to eat the big household."

Han Xia had a lively personality and made a joke to Li Ye.

Everyone of course had to pay. In this day and age, people would scramble to pick up a cent on the road; who would deliberately take advantage of others?

But Li Ye noticed that Jiang Xiaoyan lowered her head, her two hands twisting the corners of her clothes, clearly a bit uncomfortable.

Li Ye knew the reason.

Speaking of this Jiang Xiaoyan, Li Ye felt that she could compare with Sun Shaoping.

She brought grain from home every month to exchange for meal tickets at the school cafeteria. When eating, she always waited until there was no one left to go last,

Spending three cents of meal tickets to buy a steamed bun, filling her stomach with pickles and boiled water brought from home,

And by the end of the month, the pickles might have been eaten up, and even if she went late, there was no boiled water, so she could only dry-pull it against her throat.

Poor, stubborn, but her heart was right. Li Ye thought she was a very good girl.

"Clang~"

"There are ribs to eat, oh!"

Half a side of ribs was carried down from the cart by Jin Peng and thrown onto the table by the stove, drawing the saliva of a group of students.

"That, usually we need someone to cook, which is time-consuming and laborious. We don't pay wages, but eating is definitely free."

Li Ye pointed to Jiang Xiaoyan and asked: "Ribs stewed with radish, Jiang Xiaoyan, can you cook it?"

"Ah... I can."

Jiang Xiaoyan raised her head, her eyes bright and full of joy, very good-looking.
