Ye Cheng

On the second day, Ye Cheng got up from the floor of the classroom with his whole body sticky. This summer was so hot that it was like a fire. There were only four ceiling fans in the classroom, and the wind from them was always hot.The mat was laid directly on the quartz floor with nothing under it, and his bones ached from sleeping on it.Before the others got up, he pushed Lu Mingyuan to get him up. He took the washbasin and went to the sink first. The summer morning was barely cool, but Ye Cheng sweated a lot last night, so he took off his shirt take a sponge bath.

"Yo, it's a strip show!" After a while, Zhong Wanli came over whistling, as if he wasn't the one who fought with Ye Cheng and the others yesterday.

Their life instructors in the ninth row didn't know about the fight last night until morning, so they called Ye Cheng, Lu Mingyuan and Zhong Wanli over to talk.

"What's going on? I heard that you guys had a fight yesterday?" The gentle young female teacher was wearing a short-sleeved short skirt that fit well, and the boys suddenly became very shy.

"Where is it, teacher, we were just joking around." Zhong Wanli smiled honestly.

"It's all hurt." The female teacher pointed her finger at Lu Mingyuan's face.

"I can't help it. The bathrooms in this school are too slippery and moss is growing inside. If we are not careful, we will be stacked on top of each other." The boys laughed happily, showing a harmonious look of unity and friendship.

"Is that so?" The female teacher asked Lu Mingyuan, who had been keeping a straight face beside him. Lu Mingyuan nodded reluctantly, but didn't say anything. He lost the fight, and he was in a bad mood right now.

"You should pay attention to it in the future. There is nothing else to say in our school. Fighting is very serious. The lightest thing is to stay on school probation. If it is serious, you will be expelled, you know?"

"Yes, yes, teacher, we really didn't fight. Those people got it wrong. The headlights in the bathroom are dark." Zhong Wanli reassured with a doggy face.

"That light bulb should have been changed a long time ago. It's not as bright as my grandma's 25-watt bulb." The boys continued to argue.

"Hehehe, what are you talking about? It was just replaced last year. It's [-] watts." The female teacher laughed as she spoke.

"Hey, teacher, will you be our homeroom teacher in the future?" The kid who spoke was excited, and he didn't care whether the female teacher knew his name or not.

"The result of class placement hasn't come out yet, I don't know yet."

After the matter was finally clarified, or rather confused, the boys still didn't intend to leave, they gathered around the female teacher asking this and that, until the instructor blew the whistle and then went to gather.

In this way, Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan's high school life barely kicked off smoothly.

After Ye Cheng and the others finished their military training, they soon entered high school life. There was no key class in the first year of high school. It was said that key classes were not allowed. The rumors from above were tight, so the school had to break up the key classes first. Those students with excellent grades, Basically, they were evenly assigned to each class. Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan were divided into Class One and One and Class One and Two respectively, and Lu Mingyuan was still the monitor of Class One and Two.

Lu Mingyuan became the class monitor. This is really a new thing. Ye Ping has been thinking about it for a long time, and she can't figure out when this irritable and realistic guy is willing to dedicate his time and energy to class affairs?

As for Lu Mingyuan's reason for being the squad leader, it was actually not as complicated as Ye Ping imagined.First of all, their homeroom teacher is a bachelor, and there is no need to choose a class leader. All self-recommendation votes for the whole class are omitted. They are directly ranked according to the entrance scores of the whole class, from the class leader to the group leader. Resisting to the death is not without room for negotiation. The reason why Lu Mingyuan didn't refuse this time is that the guy named Zhong Wanli who fought with him during the military training was in their class.

Being a class monitor is somewhat arrogant, right?There is still some power to be a squad leader, right?Lu Mingyuan thought about it in his mind, and thought that the position of squad leader might be useful, so he took it.

Ye Cheng is also the monitor of the class, but it is not surprising that he is the monitor of the class. Their class is relatively traditional, and they are selected through student elections. Every student will go to the podium to introduce themselves, and then some will recommend themselves. Of course, you don’t have to. Self-recommendation, whether the students are willing to choose you, actually depends on their own willingness.

There are many girls in class one and one in senior one, and Ye Cheng is fairly fair-looking. Although he is a little short, he is straight, and with his young age of 14, he basically agrees with a girl in grade one in her pursuit of motherhood and beauty. The No.1 in the school is a big difference from the No.2 in the back, and there are also a small number of performance admirers in the class, so the position of monitor can be said to be easy to grasp.

The reason why Ye Cheng wanted to be the monitor was actually the same as that of Lu Mingyuan. The boys in high school were too tall, and he wore a monitor's hat, which could somewhat increase his sense of security.

Within two days, all the teachers and students in the school knew that the monitors of Class 14 and Class 13 and Class [-] and Class [-] were short boys, one was [-] years old and the other was [-] years old.Some of them were more curious, and even went to visit during the recess, and the students from class [-] and class [-] pointed out to them with a smile, no, the one at the first table is our monitor.

When Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan skipped a grade, they didn't expect such a profound impact. In the environment where their classmates are starting to grow, how short and eye-catching they look!But as long as he thought about the tuition fees paid by Ye Ping, who was still in the fifth grade, Ye Cheng felt that all the suffering was worthwhile, so he endured it.

Most of the high school classmates are friendly, there are not many like Zhong Wanli, and Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan don't live on campus, so they have created a distance from the classmates invisibly.But there are also some very enthusiastic guys. I heard that Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan are cousins. Every weekend, after repairing shoes, they will set up a stall in the town, and then they will bring a few classmates to take the old shoes at home on weekends. Let Ye Cheng and the others fix it.

Some students even heard that Lu Mingyuan was actually picked up by Ye Cheng from the city. He was lost with his parents when he was a child, and there has been no news for so many years.Some people also knew that Ye Cheng's parents died of AIDS when he was very young, and he, his sister, and Lu Mingyuan lived on each other these years.These children who grew up in ordinary families are always very curious, always easily attracted to things that sound unusual, and give sympathy self-righteously.

This kind of thing bothered Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan, so they gradually stopped setting up stalls in the town and went to nearby villages. They could often visit several villages in a weekend, and their income was no worse than that in the town.They are now taller and stronger than before. It is relatively easy for them to run around the village on bicycles.

The reason why neither of them chose to live in school was because Ye Ping was still young, it would not be safe for a girl to live alone in a courtyard, and if they moved to his uncle's house, the ducks would be left unattended, so the two of them Or go to school.Of course, the accommodation fee of 300 yuan per semester is also a reason. Fortunately, there are bicycles, and the trip from the village to the school takes only half an hour, and it does not feel very hard.

It can be said that Lu Mingyuan still enjoyed the journey back and forth with Ye Cheng on the bicycles every day. Ye Cheng rode the bicycle most of the time, and Lu Mingyuan sat in the back because he was one year younger than Ye Cheng. Ye Cheng seemed to have become a habit of taking care of him.Several times, he wanted to reach out to wrap his arms around Ye Cheng's waist, he raised and lowered his arm, lowered it and raised it again, and finally caught it on the steel rod under his seat.

The first year of high school is not too intense, but there is morning self-study every morning and evening self-study, so Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan have to leave early and return late every day. They have to leave after six in the morning and get home after nine in the evening. Basically, I finish it at school, and when I go back, I just take a nap, and sometimes talk to Ye Ping for a while.

Ye Ping is also very relaxed in reading, and raising ducks is not much work. She goes home after class every night to do some housework, prepares the meals for the next day, and then does her homework and reads textbooks. Sometimes there is nothing to do Now, let's take Ye Cheng and his junior high school textbooks to read.Right now, she regrets the behavior of smashing the TV when she was a child. It would be better not to smash it, but now she still has something to watch. It is really boring for her to stay at home alone. Huizi is old and lazy every day Yes, I went to bed very early.

As soon as there was any movement in the yard, Ye Ping rushed out of the house: "Brother, why did you come back?"

"Why don't you go to bed early?" Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan went back empty-handed, it was so late, and they didn't have time to read their textbooks.

"I have something to tell you." Ye Ping smiled.

"What's the matter, can't we say tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I'll forget about it tomorrow." Ye Ping followed Ye Cheng inside and outside the house like a tail.

"If you can forget it, it means it's not a big deal." Lu Mingyuan opened the four lunch boxes on the table to see that this is the lunch and dinner for him and Ye Cheng tomorrow. There is a cafeteria in their school, and there is no charge for steamed rice.

"I'm almost out of money, and our family is about to run out of food, isn't that a big deal?"

"Then I'll go to withdraw money tomorrow." Ye Cheng is not yet old enough to apply for an ID card, but it is convenient to withdraw money now, just insert the savings card into the ATM machine, and you can withdraw it when you know the password, without having to go to the counter.

"Brother, don't we have much money in our account?" Ye Ping became depressed when she mentioned this.

"There are some more." To be honest, their family is basically unable to make ends meet now. They go to various villages to repair shoes and earn some money on weekends, which is barely enough for their food expenses for a week. Moreover, the rice and firewood have always been Ye Cheng's uncle. given.The money I saved in the past is not enough now, and I can only pay Ye Ping's tuition, and I can only pay it until I graduate from junior high school.

"The school won't let me skip a grade. It's so annoying. I won't be able to skip it when I get to junior high school. Brother, I can't make any money selling duck eggs. Let's change my job?" When Ye Cheng was taking a shower, Ye Ping was standing outside the door. talk to him.

"What do you change? Raising ducks and chickens is the same, unless you go to work in the city." Lu Mingyuan took a pair of shorts and came out of the room. He heard that the wages in the city have increased a lot in the past two years. Now there are people in the city. There are more people with money than before.

"Isn't this for studying? How can I have time to go to the city?"

"Ye Cheng, let's go on vacation. Let's go to see Grandpa first." Lu Mingyuan also stood beside Ye Ping.

"Didn't he write a letter to say that his business is not doing well now?" Ye Cheng opened the door and came out with a basin of dirty water.

"Are you stupid, we have to repair shoes?" Lu Mingyuan sniffled, smelling the smell of soap on Ye Cheng's body.

"You're stupid!" Ye Ping retorted unceremoniously.

"Shouldn't you be going for the winter vacation? It's only been a few days." Ye Cheng poured dirty water, put the basin under the water pipe, rinsed it, and handed it to Lu Mingyuan, who will have to use it later.

"Go to Tantan first during the winter vacation. If it's okay, we'll go there next summer vacation. If it doesn't work, we have to think of other ways." Anyway, shoe repairs can't make much money for the past two years.

"Well, it's okay to go and have a look first." Ye Cheng won't be able to stay in the studio if he goes to Old Man Wu's during the summer vacation, but now for their family, making money is the most important thing.
