Chapter 362 Like a Flower

Suxian Mountain has been known as the "18th Blessed Land in the World" since ancient times. At its peak, there is a temple built in the Song Dynasty, named Suxian Temple.

Suxian Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. There are two side rooms in the northeast corner of the Taoist temple. Shaoshuai, one of the "Four Beauties of the Republic of China", was imprisoned here for 88 days. Today, this place is called "Qujiang Room". There is a couplet posted at the door: "Asking for war is a meritorious deed, Lintong was already a soldier, loving the country is not a crime, but today Nanguan is a prisoner of Chu."

When we got to the mountain, the students had already dispersed. This was a good opportunity for young couples to have in-depth exchanges. However, when you come here to hike, Suxian Temple is also a must-see.

When Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian walked here, they happened to hear Wang Xiaokai pointing at the two dilapidated side rooms and boasting to a bunch of little fools: "Since ancient times, heroes are often lustful, but not all lustful people are heroes. Although I am not a real hero, I am lustful like a hero. Do you know who wrote this doggerel?"

Zhang Yunqi wanted to laugh when he heard this. Kaizi was quite knowledgeable about these weird and unofficial histories and gossips. However, he glanced at Chu Jian next to him and felt a little embarrassed.

When Chu Jian saw Zhang Yunqi's expression, he pursed his lips and said, "Is this what you guys usually talk about?"

Zhang Yunqi was speechless for a while before he said, "I think Kaizi can often speak some poetic language, which is thought-provoking. As for other boys, they are very rude and vulgar when chatting privately."

Chu Jian said: "You like Kaizi very much."

Zhang Yunqi did not deny it either: "Kaizi is a person who laughs all the time and has poor academic performance, but he is actually much more mature than other boys. He has a strong ability to understand the complexity of things and this society, even better than students of our age."

Chu Jian said: "You are almost praising him into a flower."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and did not deny it.

As they were talking, the two of them stepped into Suxian Temple.

After burning incense and praying to the Bodhisattva who asked for money, Chu Jian took Lin Xueqing to take pictures of the peach blossom forest in full bloom outside the temple.

Zhang Yunqi had no hobby in this area and went shopping alone.

In fact, he hadn't been to Suxianling for a long time, but he always had a moist and refreshing impression of this place. Every blade of grass, every tree, every water and every stone here seemed to look like the women in Jiangchuan, straightforward and passionate.

He stood on the top of the mountain, gazing at the flowing water in the mountain stream. Birds could be vaguely seen flying in the mist. When the wind blew, the misty water vapor rushed into his nose, carrying a salty and fishy smell, which was similar to the smell he smelled deep inside a woman's body many years ago.

It doesn't smell good, but it's touching.

After going down the mountain, everyone returned to school.

Zhang Yunqi drove to Yan Shi's home.

Yan Shi's family lives in a village at the foot of Suxianling Mountain.

A year ago, Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian had been there once and still had some impression of it, or rather, they still had some impression of Yan Shi, their old classmate.

But this time, the courtyard was quite run-down and lifeless. The door was closed. Zhang Yunqi knocked several times, but there was no response. Obviously, no one was there.

On the way back, Chu Jian asked Zhang Yunqi: "Where did Yan Shi go?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "I think I should work in the coastal area."

The first sight was silent.

It was gradually getting dark at that time. The pedestrians on the street outside the car window were shrouded in mottled light. Their vague expressions always seemed to carry an inexplicable tiredness.

In the evening, I returned to my residential community.

Zhang Yunqi and Chu Jian cook and eat at home.

Zhang's father didn't want to stay in the city and enjoy a leisurely life, so he went to work at the Lingwu duck breeding base in Liangyunxi Village. Zhang Yunfeng and Zhang Xiaonan set up their own business. Zhang Xiaoxiao and Chu Xin usually followed Zhang's mother and Chu Jian's mother Jiang Feng after school. At this time, they were usually busy with business in the Zhangji No. 1 Middle School fish meal shop and sometimes they were too busy to cook. Zhang Yunqi, Chu Jian and Chunlan had to attend evening self-study classes, so they went home to make something for themselves, which was just fine.

While cooking, Zhang Yunqi had a phone call with Wang Guibing. They talked about signing a Red Star Electronics production line equipment transfer agreement with Sennheiser and recruiting Red Star Electronics employees. However, Sennheiser and Phoenix Group were still fighting in the court, so there was no need to think about asset disposal in the short term. However, Red Star Electronics had resumed operations, and those employees at least had a bowl of rice to eat.

Chu Jian simply fried some lettuce, and Chunlan heated up the old duck soup and braised fish left over from lunch. When the three of them were eating around the table, Chunlan asked, "Is it fun to go to Suxianling today?"

Chu Jian smiled and said softly: "It's pretty good."

Zhang Yunqi stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth: "Didn't I take you there once?"

Chunlan said: "That's different."

Zhang Yunqi asked: "Why is it different?"

Chunlan was quite arrogant: "If you go with different people, the feeling will be different. How can I compare my going with you with my going with you?"

Chunlan had known about his second brother and Chujian's relationship for a long time. The Zhang family knew about it from her. Chujian was such an outstanding girl, and the family had no objection. Even if they had any objections, they could do nothing about it. Who could control his second brother? It was just that the adults in their family were still a little awkward when getting along with Chujian. Although it was an established fact, they were still as enthusiastic as ever about Chujian, but Chujian was too young after all, and it was not easy to make it clear that you were the second daughter-in-law of my old Zhang family. Chunlan did not have these concerns. Privately at school, they jokingly called Chujian sister-in-law. She liked this most beautiful and kind girl so much, and she was her idol in terms of study.

Seeing that Chu Jian's face was red as a persimmon after talking to Chun Lan, Zhang Yunqi reached out and poured her a bowl of soup. He said to Chun Lan, "Just tell me, do you want to fall in love?"

He knew that Chunlan was quite popular in school and there were many boys chasing after her. However, compared to those rich kids in the school, there was a relatively alternative boy who Zhang Yunqi thought was not bad. He was Chunlan's classmate who was admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city from Longwan Town. He had met him several times. He was a very honest person and studied hard, but his family was poor and he had an inferiority complex. Chunlan often helped him, but Zhang Yunqi turned a blind eye to it.

After hearing this, Chunlan blushed: "I didn't!"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "It's okay if you have it. Can parents stop premature love? If they can't, you will all live like flowers."

Both girls laughed.

After dinner, the three of them went to school for evening self-study.

When he arrived at the classroom, Zhang Yunqi happened to meet the class monitor Zou Xiuxiu asking Wang Xiaokai for the tuition fee.

The scene was quite awkward, everyone was staring at Wang Xiaokai, luckily Yu Qingqing wasn't there, but even so, Wang Xiaokai, who was so thick-skinned, tilted his head and said with a smile: "I'll hand it in next week, I'll definitely hand it in next week."

In fact, the senior year group of the school had to make up for one and a half days of classes every weekend, and each student had to pay 150 yuan for the make-up class. There was nothing much to say about this, but 150 yuan was really not a small amount of money in those days. Maybe there were few descendants of the proletariat in the No. Middle School of the city. The wool is fat, just grab it.

Kaizi was quite dissatisfied with this matter.

He had kind of given up on the college entrance exam as he had wasted too much time in three years of study. Sometimes he wanted to pick it up again and work harder, but his mind was too distracted by games and romance. Now, after compressing three years of study into a few months, those new courses seemed like incomprehensible books and he couldn't get through them.

Under such circumstances, he didn't even want to study the normal courses, so what was the point of taking extra classes? Of course, more importantly, he had no money to pay for the extra classes.

Zhang Yunqi actually saw all of this. He suspected that this kid had asked his parents for tuition fees and then spent all of it on Yu Qingqing. In addition to going to the woods, dating inevitably involves restaurants, coffee shops, birthday cakes, and rose bouquets as big as washbasins outside the school. With his little living expenses, it is unlikely that he can afford it.

In the past, Wang Xiaokai would most likely ask Zhang Yunqi to borrow money.

This time he didn't.

Because Zhang Yunqi had rejected him once.

In the past, Wang Xiaokai used his living expenses to play games and read martial arts novels outside every day, and he could not even afford to eat. Zhang Yunqi still helped him from time to time, but even in such a situation, he still had to put on a brave face and borrow money from Zhang Yunqi to buy expensive gifts for Yu Qingqing for her birthday.

Young people, whether addicted to games or in early love, are actually going through a psychological journey during adolescence. Only after experiencing it will they understand how stupid they were at the time. However, Zhang Yunqi is not interested in paying for Wang Xiaokai's youth pain. He is his buddy, not his real father. Of course, whether Wang Xiaokai understands or not, he is not interested in talking about these big truths.

Zhang Yunqi opened the textbook and started studying.

In the third year of high school, the dream is the persistence of picking up the pen in the early morning, the unhesitating opening of the quilt and the sobriety of the cold water splashing on the face, the surprise of seeing the rising sun at six o'clock and the light blooming from the notes in the middle of the night.

Zhang Yunqi wanted to find the feeling he once had.

Fulfill a college dream.

Wang Xiaokai had no intention of studying that night.

Because Zhang Yunqi guessed correctly, he asked his family for the tuition fee and then spent it. He had no way to pay it, and of course he didn't want to pay it, but he kept dragging his feet and asking the class monitor to pay it every day. Other students in the class heard about it, which was quite embarrassing.

He pondered over it and suddenly thought of something.

During the break, he ran to the podium and chatted with the geography teacher Zhou Hu. Zhou Hu was a single young man, not very old. He was usually quite humorous and could chat with students.

While chatting, Wang Xiaokai casually asked if teachers who give tutoring on weekends get subsidies.

Zhou Hu didn't think much about it at the time and shook his head subconsciously. He also had complaints about this matter, but the school has always been like this and he has no say in it. Moreover, the number of undergraduate students in his class is directly linked to their reward and punishment standards, so he has to make up for it even if he doesn't want to.

Wang Xiaokai still has some brains.

He immediately realized that if the tutor did not receive any tuition fees, the tutoring was purely voluntary.

This is really off the mark.

Originally, everyone paid tuition fees. If the money was given to the tutor, then there would be nothing to say. However, if the tuition fees were not given to the tutor, then the problem arises. Each student pays 150 yuan. There are 16 classes in the senior year group, with about 900 students. The tuition fees are 135000 yuan. After deducting the school hardware expenses, the surplus is at least yuan!

Who wants to embezzle such a large sum of money?
Wang Xiaokai pondered for a long time. In order to avoid the 150 yuan tuition fee, this young boy came up with a bad idea that shocked the whole school, but he himself did not even realize the serious consequences at that time.
