Chapter 336 I Like Big Slaps

This is a winter with heavy snow.

Li Yufei woke up when it was almost dawn.

She slept a little restlessly last night.

After my mother went to work in Lijin, the provincial capital, she hasn't had a hot breakfast. It's usually milk and bread. Today she got up late and found that there was no dry food at home, so she washed up and went out.

On the way to school, when Li Yufei passed through the cannery family quarters, she happened to meet Zhang Qiulan who was opening the door of her Santana to get ready for work. She subconsciously waved and said, "Sister Qiulan, good morning."

Zhang Qiulan tilted her head and said, "Let's go to school."

Li Yufei said "hmm".

Zhang Qiulan raised her hand and checked the time: "Oh, it's getting late, Yufei, shall I take you to school? It's on the way, I'll go to Zhangji for breakfast before going to Liansheng."

Li Yufei smiled and said yes: "Thank you, Sister Qiulan."

Zhang Qiulan smiled and said, "It's okay, get in the car."

After getting in the car, Li Yufei sat in the passenger seat: "Sister Qiulan, when did you learn to drive?"

Zhang Qiulan smiled and said, "It's been several months since I took the driving test with your brother Guibing. The current social development is getting faster and faster, and the role of cars will become more and more important in the future. I think you must be able to drive when you enter society. However, there is still half a semester before the college entrance examination. Focus on studying first. After the college entrance examination, you and Yunqi can take the driving test together."

Li Yufei blushed and hummed, then added: "Doesn't he have a driver's license? He's already driving a car."

"Oh, right, look at my memory. I would have forgotten it if you hadn't told me." Zhang Qiulan laughed dumbly: "Sometimes, I still treat him like a child, but such times are becoming less and less. After all, I have to call him boss in the company."

As they were talking, the Santana arrived at the No. 1 Middle School and stopped in front of Zhangji Qifengdu Fish Noodle Shop. Zhang Qiulan said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, how about eating at Zhangji?"

Li Yufei waved her hand and said, "We don't have enough time. I can just buy some bread and milk on the roadside. Thank you, Sister Qiulan."

Zhang Qiulan smiled and said, "Then you should go to class quickly."

Li Yufei agreed: "Bye, Sister Qiulan."

She pushed the door open and got out of the car. She came to the store near the school gate with her pink schoolbag on her back and asked the owner for a bottle of Bright Milk and some bread. She opened her schoolbag and tried to find her wallet to pay, but couldn't find it after searching for a while. Only then did she remember that she was in a hurry to go out in the morning and forgot to bring her wallet.

Li Yufei was a little embarrassed and subconsciously put down the bread and Guangming milk in her hands, ready to say no. But at this moment, a slender hand suddenly appeared in front of her, holding the milk and handed it to her.

Li Yufei was stunned.

A boy appeared next to her. He was tall and handsome, with delicate features and wearing a big windbreaker. However, Li Yufei didn't know him and had never seen him before.

The boy pretended not to notice and stuffed the Guangming brand milk into Li Yufei's hand and paid for it. Li Yufei didn't panic like a little girl. She was even used to this kind of situation. She wanted to thank him, ask for his class number and name, and then return the money to him.

But the boy didn't wait for her to speak. He waved his hand and got on the bicycle. After taking two steps, he turned around in an idol drama style and lifted his hair: "Do you like Bright Milk, too? I also..."

What do you like too?
Do you like your favorite big mouth?

Li Yufei thought so, but she couldn't say such impolite words.

"Yufei." At this time, a familiar voice came from behind. Li Yufei turned her head and saw Zhang Yunqi standing at the school gate not far away, looking at her strangely: "Class is about to start, what are you doing here alone?"

For some reason, at that moment, Li Yufei's clear eyes suddenly smiled. She immediately called the boy with a cool expression: "Hey, classmate, wait a moment!" Then she walked to Zhang Yunqi in two or three steps and stretched out her hand: "Lend me three dollars."

Zhang Yunqi was puzzled. He didn't have any change on him. The smallest note he had was a five-yuan note. He handed it to Li Yufei and said, "Give me two yuan."

"Stingy guy, I won't give you change." Li Yufei shrugged her delicate nose, took the five yuan and turned to stuff it into the boy's pocket, and said politely, "Thank you, I'll give you the money back."

The boy was stunned on the spot.

After a while, he rode his bicycle past Zhang Yunqi with a red face, stirring up the snow on the ground.

Zhang Yunqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy's receding back and said, "What's going on?"

Li Yufei drank the milk and said, "When I bought the milk, I realized that I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring money."

Zhang Yunqi asked: "Did the boy pay you?"

Li Yufei nodded.

Zhang Yunqi said happily: "Isn't this great? I want to eat and drink for free without anyone paying for it."

Li Yufei said, "You're so annoying. You're making fun of me. Walk faster or you'll be late." They were not late. They entered the classroom almost at the sound of the bell.

When Li Yufei pushed the door open, her steps were brisk. She subconsciously glanced at Chu Jian's position. Chu Jian also looked over at her. Their eyes met, but she quickly looked away to Zhang Yunqi behind her. Then, Chu Jian lowered his head and seemed to be reading a book.

The morning class was a long math mock exam.

In the afternoon, Class 156 began to prepare for the upcoming New Year's Eve party.

Li Yufei is the cultural and artistic committee member and the general manager of the evening party.

There are many things to do, including determining the meal price, the list of invited school leaders, the list of programs, the host script, the venue layout, materials and fruit snacks, etc. Li Yufei is very attentive, but the students may not be. Since it is an entertainment activity, there are many people who want to play without doing anything.

At 6pm on the night of the New Year's Eve party, the whole class had a dinner on the second floor of the cafeteria, so they needed to order food in advance. Because this part of the funds was provided by Zhang Yunqi, his idea was that everyone should eat and drink well, so the meal standard was very high, but the specific dishes had to be discussed with Huang Xiaoming, deputy director of the school cafeteria management office. A busy man like Zhang Yunqi would not have time to take care of these things, so Li Yufei, Yu Qingqing and Wang Xiaokai went to discuss it.

Li Yufei arranged for Liu Zicheng to buy fruits and snacks. Before leaving, she specifically asked Liu Zicheng to buy some good quality ones. Liu Zicheng agreed wholeheartedly and also asked his good friend Zhao Dong to go along. However, the two brothers were in a hurry to play games and did not choose carefully. They bought apples, bananas, grapes, melon seeds, dried fruits and other snacks from a fruit stall on the street in Qiaotou Vegetable Market. After sending them back to the classroom, they ran to the game hall to play games.

The next morning, when Yu Qingqing checked, she opened the sealed carton and found that many of the apples at the bottom of the carton were rotten. These two fools were cheated by the unscrupulous merchant.

Yu Qingqing immediately asked Liu Zicheng and Zhao Dong to find the fruit vendor, but it was too late. The fruit seller was a mobile vendor and there was no telling when he would come back.

Li Yufei was very angry when she found out about this.

The dinner funds sponsored by Zhang Yunqi are not included. The rest of the funds were raised by the students with great difficulty. Moreover, in order not to impose too much burden on the classmates, the fees collected were small in themselves, and the money spent was tight. How could it be wasted like this? Of course, the rotten apples are only a part of it, and the money spent is not much, but it is not just a matter of how much money, but not a single cent of the collective should be wasted like this. People who do things need to take responsibility to do things well.

Li Yufei thought so, so she said directly to Zhao Dong and Liu Zicheng: "You can buy the rotten fruit again and pay for it yourself."

The hot-blooded boy was treated like this by the girl, and Zhao Dong said, "I won't pay."

The atmosphere was tense.

Li Yufei nodded and said nothing more.

This girl has her own dignity and pride.

The next day, the New Year's Eve party program was posted and Zhao Dong's guitar performance was removed.

Zhao Dong is the class flower of Class 156. He used to be close to Wu Yali from the next class. Wu Yali is the niece of the former Dean of Academic Affairs Luo Dacheng. She once bullied Yan Shi, also known as Sister Hua, who had transferred to the school. Later, she was expelled from the school. Li Yufei also stood up for Yan Shi and slapped Wu Yali. The conflict between the two girls was very deep. If Zhang Yunqi hadn't intervened, it would have almost caused the incident of social youth blocking the door.

This incident made Zhao Dong very embarrassed in class.

What made him even more unbearable was that he had secretly practiced for a long time for the class's New Year's Eve party, and he was thinking of showing off in front of the whole class. He was unwilling to be dismissed like this, but Li Yufei had absolute say in this matter, and he was indeed a little in the wrong. It was not appropriate for him, a boy, to be rough with a girl, not to mention that the other party was Li Yufei. He could not afford to offend this girl's power and connections in school.

Maybe others don't know, but he knows that Li Yufei rushed into the girls' dormitory alone, slapped Wu Yali in the face, and left with Sister Hua. Faced with the tough side of this girl, a bunch of big sisters who hung out with young people at the time didn't dare to say a word.

Later, Zhao Dong asked Li Yufei's best friend Yu Qingqing and several other girls to plead with Li Yufei. Li Yufei's reply was simple: "Buy the fruit first!"

The matter ended with Zhao Dong admitting his mistake.

Liu Zicheng, Li Yufei's good friend since childhood, not only did not make the exception, but also criticized Li Yufei very mercilessly. In the end, the two poor brothers had to buy the fruit again with their own money. The money was not much, but they felt very embarrassed.

Ever since this incident happened, the classmates in the class have been a little afraid of Li Yufei. Some people refuse to take up the tasks assigned to them, and those who have taken the tasks dare not just do it perfunctorily. However, they are no longer as enthusiastic about the preliminary preparations for the New Year's Eve party as before.

Perhaps her classmates didn't realize that Li Yufei actually had such a strong side. Her style of sticking to her word completely changed everyone's impression of her as a lady. Of course, this school-recognized beauty's occasional reveal of her inviolable hardness while being soft undoubtedly touched the hearts of many boys.

Li Yufei was a little troubled.

During the break in the corridor that day, Zhang Yunqi happened to be there. Li Yufei said to him, "I find that class activities are really hard to organize."

Zhang Yunqi knew what Li Yufei was referring to. He witnessed the whole process of how Li Yufei handled the Zhao Dong incident. It was difficult for him to say anything. First, he seemed overly enthusiastic and caused unnecessary misunderstandings. Second, it was just a small matter and it would be over. There was no need to take it too seriously. But now that Li Yufei had brought it up, as a friend, he had to give his true opinion.

He asked, "Did it happen because of Zhao Dong's incident?"

Li Yufei nodded: "I don't know what I did wrong. If they did their job seriously and something went wrong, it's not their fault. They shouldn't have to pay the money. But the problem is that they didn't do their job seriously and were too busy playing games, which led to this result."

Zhang Yunqi said, "How should I put it, Yufei, your idea is right, but you don't understand the nature of this matter. If Zhao Dong is an employee of your company and you sent him out to do something and something went wrong, then you should handle it this way, but the problem is that we are not a private company. This is a class matter. Zhao Dong and his colleagues did things for the class for free. They could have chosen not to do it, but since they did it, and because of carelessness, this problem occurred, they have to take the blame instead of sharing the responsibility and solving the problem together. From the perspective of collectivism, this is a bit wrong. At least it should be handled more tactfully."

Zhang Yunqi continued, "Because the class is a big family where everyone is equal, the power in your hands is given to you by the class. As a leader and organizer, you should be strict with yourself and lenient with others. You can be proactive and selfless, but you can't ask everyone to do so. I can't say why, but human nature should be like this."

Li Yufei held her chin with her hand and looked at Zhang Yunqi's profile, thinking. Then she laughed: "You always see some very complicated things so thoroughly. I suddenly feel so frustrated."
