Chapter 189 Medicine

Father, like son.

This sentence still makes sense. Zhang Yunqi certainly knows what his elder brother is worried about now. He knew it when he received the call from Zhang Guoxiang this morning. But is this really a big deal? From his point of view, it is not a big deal at all. Since he has chosen Zhang Xiaonan, he should cut the Gordian knot and do what needs to be done. However, it is not appropriate to judge others by one's own standards. His elder brother has his own concerns. He is just an ordinary person who lives an ordinary life. Just like people who worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea all day long, Li Ka-shing's son cannot understand it at all.

Zhang Yunqi just hoped that his elder brother would not be depressed because of this. It is true that men cannot live without women, but no one in this world is indispensable to life. He did not want to talk about any big principles. He drank a few glasses of wine with Zhang Yunfeng and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, Monday.

The school has returned to its normal pace.

The monitor of Class 156 is a rotation system, that is, no matter how good or bad the grades are, every student has the opportunity to be the monitor. It is probably the meaning of the emperor taking turns and this year it is my turn. This kind of thing is probably unique in the No. Middle School in the city. I have to admit that their class teacher Wang Mingzhen is a sly person.

This week it is Zhang Yunqi's turn to be the squad leader.

Actually, it’s nothing. What I do every day is to assign tasks to the class teacher and convey the school’s policies and arrangements, and shout “Stand up” during class.

During the morning break, Zhang Yunqi was reading and doing homework in his seat. "Sister Hua," as everyone called her, came over with her homework book and whispered, "Monitor, I don't know how to do a question. Could you please help me take a look?"

Zhang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He looked at Sister Hua's face with many freckles and thought that this girl was quite polite. He smiled and said, "Okay."

Sister Hua handed the homework book to Zhang Yunqi. Zhang Yunqi took a look and found it was a math problem. It was not difficult. He had already done it. It could only be said that this girl's math foundation might not be very good. He took a pen and a draft paper and derived the formula for Sister Hua and asked: "Do you understand?"

Sister Hua seemed a little embarrassed and whispered, "Yeah... I understand."

Zhang Yunqi glanced at her face and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll tell you more about it so that you can have a deeper impression."

Sister Hua blushed and said yes.

Zhang Yunqi continued to explain the problem to her, patiently demonstrating the derivation of each formula one by one. It took more than ten minutes for her to understand the problem. At this time, Xu Linlin, the Chinese class representative, came over and said, "Sister Hua, you haven't handed in your Chinese homework yet. I'm going to give it to the teacher."

Yan Shi raised her head and said quickly, "It's in my desk. I'll give it to you later." After a pause, she picked up the homework book and said to Zhang Yunqi, "Thank you."

Zhang Yunqi laughed and said, "It's nothing." After thinking for a while, he remembered the girl's real name and said, "By the way, Yanshi, if you have any problems with your studies in the future, you can come to me."

Sister Hua was stunned for a moment before she said blankly: "Okay, thank you, class monitor." Then she lowered her head, walked past the seats of Zhao Dong, Liao Haihua and others, returned to her seat, and gave the homework book to Xu Linlin, the Chinese class representative.

She sat in the corner of the last row of the classroom, with no deskmate, no friends, and probably no youthful high school life. Because the 38th parallel of other people was just a line, but this little girl's 38th parallel was separated from others by an aisle. Next to the aisle was a trash can, and in the morning it was full of the unpleasant "leek smell".

However, compared to this "leek smell", perhaps the more unpleasant thing was the teasing of a small group of bad guys in the class. Zhang Yunqi's words to Sister Hua were heard by Liu Zicheng, Liao Haihua and Zhao Dong, who were sitting in the back of the classroom. At that time, Liao Haihua poked Zhao Dong's shoulder with the tip of his pen and said with a smile: "Zhao Dong, your birthday is coming soon, and I was worried about what gift to give you. Coincidentally, I suddenly had some inspiration just now. Do you like green hats? I plan to buy you one."

Zhao Dong was so angry that his mouth twisted: "Fuck you, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liao Haihua immediately pointed his mouth towards Zhang Yunqi and said with a smile: "Your wife has a strange man outside. Didn't you see how affectionate and affectionate your wife was with him just now? Tsk tsk, if you have any problems in the future, come to me... Look at what I said."

Liu Zicheng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Liao Haihua's mouth was really mean. As he was laughing, he noticed Zhang Yunqi looking over here. He didn't know why, but he subconsciously closed his mouth. However, Liao Haihua didn't seem to take Zhang Yunqi seriously. He smiled at Zhang Yunqi's gaze, and his smile seemed to carry the contempt that only young people with impulsiveness can have!
Zhang Yunqi also smiled at him, then looked away and continued reading.

After school at noon, Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian went back to the fish powder shop to have lunch, and then took a break, and then went back to school together when the class was about to start. However, on the way to the classroom, Zhang Yunqi met Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei. The three brothers were picking up garbage on the track of the football field. Zhang Yunqi was amazed. He was deeply touched by the laziness of these three guys. After living in the dormitory for a semester, they only cleaned up once on the first day of school. He leaned on the railing and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"

Wang Xiaokai looked constipated: "Shovel the gum."

Zhang Yunqi was a little confused. Why were they sitting here shoveling gum instead of attending class? Did the three brothers' heads get caught in a door? He stepped over the railing, walked into the football field and asked, and finally he understood what was going on.

The weather was good today. The three brothers were bored after lunch at noon, so they ran to the football field to bask in the sun and chat. It can only be said that they were really unlucky. They met the dean of teaching Luo Dahai who passed by. Luo Dahai had sharp eyes. When he saw Wang Xiaokai and his brothers lying on the lawn chewing gum, he got angry at that time. Maybe it was because many students liked to throw garbage such as chewing gum and cigarettes on the lawn, which was very difficult for the school to deal with, or maybe Director Luo Da was in a bad mood because of his period, or it could be that he always liked to make a fuss about nothing. He waved and called Wang Xiaokai and his brothers over and said, "Don't have class this afternoon. Clean up all the garbage on the football field for me!"

Hence the present scene.

Zhang Yunqi was very happy after hearing this, but he could not help it, so he waved his hand, and under Wang Xiaokai's sad gaze, he and Chu Jian walked shoulder to shoulder across the football field under the warm sunshine. The autumn wind was blowing at that time, and the girl was holding a textbook in her arms. Her white cotton skirt fluttered like flowing clouds, and her bangs under her forehead rippled slightly. The smile on the corner of her mouth was so beautiful that Wang Xiaokai thought of Muse, but Muse followed Zhang Yunqi and quickly disappeared on the tree-lined path.

After returning to the classroom, Zhang Yunqi thought about it and ran to the teacher's office next door to tell the class teacher Wang Mingzhen about Wang Xiaokai's matter.

Since he became a cheap class monitor, he still needs to take some responsibility for what happens in the class. Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others were not in the classroom during the class, and it will be the Chinese class of the head teacher Wang Mingzhen, so Wang Mingzhen will definitely look for him.

What Zhang Yunqi didn't expect was that after he told Wang Mingzhen about this, Wang Mingzhen directly handed him the campus handbook on the desk and said, "Give this to Wang Xiaokai and the others, and ask them to go find Director Luo and tell him that the school rules never stipulate that chewing gum is not allowed, nor that you can't attend class if you chew gum, and you have to shovel all the garbage on the football field!"

Zhang Yunqi was stunned.

Wang Mingzhen said again: "Go ahead. If you can't make it work, come back and call me."

Zhang Yunqi agreed, then went to the football field, gave the campus handbook to Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei, and asked them to go find Luo Dahai to argue.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was a little scared, and shrank his head and said: "The head teacher is not as senior as the dean of studies, right?"

"But the dean of studies is so fair! What's there to be afraid of?" Wang Xiaokai had been on the football field for so long that his scalp was numb from the sun. Now that the little fool had the teacher's order, he was ready to stir up trouble. He threw away the dustpan and persuaded Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei to go to the office building.

Zhang Yunqi smiled, turned around and went back to the classroom. He sat in his seat for a while. Then the bell rang for class. It was the Chinese class of the head teacher Wang Mingzhen.

Wang Mingzhen came to the podium with the lesson plan. Seeing the students taking out their Chinese textbooks and turning to the lesson he was going to teach today, Mr. Lu Xun's "Medicine", he said, "Everyone, close your textbooks first."

The students were all confused, but they all closed their Chinese textbooks and looked at Wang Mingzhen on the podium. Wang Mingzhen said, "Before class, I want to say something. Today, a classmate in our class was punished by the school leaders to pick up all the garbage on the football field because he chewed gum on the football field. Do you think this is reasonable?"

Many students remained silent, but some brave students said directly: "Of course it is unreasonable."

Wang Mingzhen asked again: "Since it is unreasonable, what should we do?"

The students all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wang Mingzhen said: "In fact, the method is very simple, resistance, but it is also difficult, because everyone is afraid of authority. Today, I want to tell the students here that even if you leave school in the future, you can't live without resistance. Don't lose your rights because of fear. I can protect you now, but I can't protect you forever. What I can do is teach you how to protect yourself now. For you, what I tell you today is more important than what is in the book."

The classroom was quiet, and there seemed to be some different emotion in the air. Everyone was looking at the old man on the podium. He calmly opened the lesson plan and said class was about to start. Zhang Yunqi immediately stood up and shouted, "Stand up!" However, he basically didn't listen to the rest of the class. He kept thinking about what the head teacher said. Even many years after graduation, when he recalled this scene, he still remembered it word for word.
