Chapter 27 I wish you a safe journey

Time passes day by day.

Every day is military training, military training, military training. After marching in formation, we play crawling.

Days like this are boring, intermittent like a constipated stool. If it's shorter, everyone will feel better. But for some people who are constipated, their stool will not be so smooth.

For example, Zhang Yunqi.

During the last few days of military training, classmates would always joke with him about the day when someone blackmailed him for his handheld computer. Zhang Yunqi just laughed it off. After all, he couldn't control other people's mouths. As for face, he didn't care at all. Of course, he had to get back the face he had lost.

At noon on the fifth day of military training, Ji Ling's father brought delicious food to his precious daughter, and Ji Ling called Zhang Yunqi to eat in the cafeteria.

When the meal was almost over, Ji Ling suddenly asked, "I heard someone robbed you?"

It’s over.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Zhang Yunqi thought to himself how miserable he was. Ji Ling was not a girl who loved gossip. Even she knew about this. How widely did this matter spread in No. 1 Middle School?

Of course, he didn't want Ji Ling to worry about him, so he smiled and said, "Let me correct you. It's not robbery. I'm just borrowing it for fun. They will pay me back with interest."

"How to pay it back?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Ji Ling rolled his eyes and said, forget it, if it was snatched away by someone else, just treat it as a meat bun to throw at the dog.

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said yes. He just didn't want Ji Ling to have any wild thoughts about this kind of thing.

"Ji Ling, you're still eating."

At this time, Ji Ling heard someone calling him, turned around, and saw Qian Yu coming in from the cafeteria door.

Qian Yu had already seen Zhang Yunqi next to her. She was a little surprised and stopped to wave to Ji Ling, saying, "Ji Ling, the class teacher is looking for you."

Ji Ling said to Zhang Yunqi: "I'm leaving first."

Zhang Yunqi nodded.

Ji Ling got up and left, and he continued to eat his meal.

"Zhang Yunqi, who was that girl just now? She was so pretty. I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I was too embarrassed to come over." A boy came over with a bowl of rice. Zhang Yunqi looked over and saw that it was a classmate of his, named Liu Xiaochuan. They didn't usually communicate with each other.

He asked, "What do you want from me?"

Liu Xiaochuan sat opposite Zhang Yunqi with a bowl in his hand and took out a few RMB notes from his pocket: "Here's fifty yuan. Buy me a Tetris handheld game console."

Zhang Yunqi glanced at the wrinkled bills in Liu Xiaochuan's hand. There were one, five, and ten yuan notes. He didn't take them. His eyes fell on Liu Xiaochuan's bowl. There were only two white flour buns. The food was really hard.

He knew that this kid was addicted to playing Tetris, but he had little money in his pocket. He kept borrowing Tian Zhuangzhuang's game during the military training. Now that the training was about to end, he saved his food money by eating steamed buns every day and scraped together fifty yuan just to buy a Tetris handheld console.

Zhang Yunqi suddenly remembered that when he was in technical secondary school, he was particularly obsessed with King of Fighters. However, his family was poor and he had no money, but he could skip meals just to play games, saving money to spend the whole night in the game hall. Times have changed, and things have changed. It is difficult for Zhang Yunqi to find the passion and happiness he had in the past from the game, but it does not prevent him from missing the childish behavior like Liu Xiaochuan.

This is the mark of youth.

Zhang Yunqi smiled and shook his head, then put the braised fish that Ji Ling brought into Liu Xiaochuan's bowl. "You came at a bad time. All the handheld devices are sold out. Let's eat first. This braised fish was made by a friend's mother and brought over from home. It tastes good."

Liu Xiaochuan had no appetite: "Don't you have another one on hand? I saw you put it in your pocket this morning. You wouldn't sell it so soon, would you?"

"I'm going to keep this handheld game console for myself and not sell it." Zhang Yunqi had basically sold all the Tetris handheld games. Apart from the three that he had extorted from others, he did have one left, but he didn't plan to sell it.

Liu Xiaochuan had no choice but to ask, "When will you have the goods?"

Zhang Yunqi did not answer. It would take at least six days to go to Shencun to purchase goods after the military training. Looking at the anxious Liu Xiaochuan, the idea of ​​purchasing on his behalf suddenly popped up in his mind.

It was not easy to go to Shenzhen in those days. It would be best if he could make more money and buy more goods. However, these days, he only made more than 3,000 yuan from selling handheld computers, including the principal and profit, and could not buy much goods. If he engaged in purchasing on behalf of others, he could ask those who wanted to buy handheld computers to pay a deposit first to collect part of the payment.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi said to Liu Xiaochuan, "I have to wait until the military training holiday to get the handheld computer from my cousin, but I'm not sure how many he has left."

Liu Xiaochuan didn't understand: "What do you mean? Is there still no stock?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "This is what happened. My cousin brought the handheld game console from the coastal area at a high price. There are only about 200 of them in total, and most of them have been sold out. In addition, many people have reserved some from me in the past two days. If they are out of stock by then, you won't be able to buy them."

Liu Xiaochuan immediately said, "Then I'll reserve one too." Zhang Yunqi nodded, "You can reserve one, but you have to pay a deposit of 20 yuan first. Don't let me bring it to you and you suddenly change your mind. I'll lose money on it."

"That's no problem. I'll give you twenty yuan." They were all classmates, so Liu Xiaochuan wasn't worried that Zhang Yunqi would cheat him out of the twenty yuan.

Zhang Yunqi took the money without any regrets. Human relations are human relations, and business is business. He put another piece of braised fish into Liu Xiaochuan's bowl and said, "Eat, eat, eat more, because you will get hungry during the military training."

******
During the last two days of military training, Zhang Yunqi was busy again, mainly introducing the handheld game console reservation package to those students who wanted to buy a handheld game console from him but failed to buy one. The quantity was limited, with a total of 80 units. A deposit of 20 yuan was required, and first come first served.

This trick is very effective, and it is a bit like hunger marketing. They had originally gone to Zhang Yunqi to buy a handheld game console once, but Zhang Yunqi was out of stock at that time. Now they heard that he still had 80 units in stock at home, and they could get them by paying a deposit of 20 yuan and waiting a few days. They paid the money without hesitation.

Of course, Zhang Yunqi also gave them a receipt.

Two days later, he received reservations for 160 handheld devices.

On the night before the end of the military training, acting squad leader Lin Yueying proposed in class that after the military parade tomorrow, they should go and see off instructor Zhao Daxiong and sing a song.

The students all agreed.

After heated discussion, everyone finally decided to sing "Bon voyage".

This song is quite meaningful. Not long after it was released, the Little Tigers temporarily disbanded because Chen Zhipeng went to the army, so Wu Qilong wrote this song to bid farewell to Chen Zhipeng.

Lin Yueying wrote the lyrics of the song on the blackboard, and everyone practiced together until the end of evening self-study. Everyone was very serious and hardworking.

After the exercise ended the next day, the military training came to an end.

At that time, there was no group photo session in the high school military training. Before the exercise was over, Zhao Daxiong watched the military parade of Class 168 and left the playground. He returned to the dormitory arranged by the school. He sat on the bed for a while, then picked up his bag that had been packed long ago and went to the school gate, where he sat on the bus waiting to leave.

After the drill, the students of Class 168 did not disband. Led by Lin Yueying, they went directly to the school gate and searched one car at a time. They soon found Zhao Daxiong and shouted "Instructor" together.

Zhao Daxiong heard the voice and looked out the window. He saw all the students in Class 168 standing under the bus. Under the command of class monitor Lin Yueying, they lined up in a neat and orderly team and sang Wu Qilong's "Wish You a Good Trip" with all their might:
"That day, knowing you were leaving, we said nothing. When the midnight bell knocked on the door of our hearts, it couldn't open your deep silence...

When you pack your bags and take off the glory, I can only let the tears stay in my heart, with a slight smile on my face, and wave my hands vigorously, wishing you a safe journey..."

The students sang very loudly, and their voices were quite clumsy and uneven, but for some reason, looking at those cute and tender faces, Zhao Daxiong, a soldier, felt his nose sore and he hurriedly got off the bus.

The squad leader behind him told him to make a quick decision and that he only had three minutes to say goodbye, but Zhao Daxiong, who always regarded orders as his duty, ignored the squad leader's words. He came forward to hug his classmates one by one. Many of them were secretly wiping tears, so he smiled and told them not to cry, but his eyes were shining.

When he walked in front of Zhang Yunqi, Zhang Yunqi took out a Tetris handheld game console from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Daxiong, and said with a smile: "Instructor, you can play it when you are bored in the army."

Zhao Daxiong refused to accept it, saying how could he accept your gift.

Zhang Yunqi stuffed the handheld device into Zhao Daxiong's hands, said with a smile, "Have a safe trip. I hope you can come home this year."

After saying that, he didn't give Zhao Daxiong a chance to talk nonsense, left the team and walked towards the dormitory.

He didn't want to be so pretentious. He had the mentality of an old man in his forties. He wouldn't secretly wipe away tears like other classmates, but he had some feelings in his heart. This was youth, short and beautiful. He was willing to immerse himself in this beauty that he didn't cherish in his previous life.

Even if only for a moment.

After arriving at the dormitory, Zhang Yunqi sat at the head of the bed for a while, then tidied his bedding.

The classmates came back one after another, and their emotions had calmed down. When Zhang Yunqi had packed his luggage, Wang Xiaokai came in. Because of the blackmail incident of the Tetris handheld game console that day, this guy thought Zhang Yunqi was timid and cowardly, and their relationship became distant. Wang Xiaokai usually ignored Zhang Yunqi.

Of course Zhang Yunqi didn't care about this little misunderstanding. He patted Wang Xiaokai on the shoulder and said, "Kaizi, let me ask you something."

Wang Xiaokai glanced at Zhang Yunqi: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yunqi asked, "You know the three people who borrowed my handheld phone that day, right?"

Wang Xiaokai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yunqi and said, "I know them. They are Zhou Qing, Zhao Songrun, and Lin Rong. They are all promoted from the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School like me. They are veterans and have jumped to the war. However, their families are not very rich, otherwise they would not blackmail you for a fifty-yuan Tetris handheld game console."

Zhang Yunqi asked again: "Where do they usually go to play during holidays?"

Wang Xiaokai thought for a moment before saying, "They are most likely in the Longteng Game Hall. The school has been closed for so long during the military training, I guess they will play in the game hall all afternoon today."

Zhang Yunqi nodded, picked up his bedding and went out.
