The next day.
Ji Shishi invited Zhang Xiaolan to have breakfast. Originally, she wanted to buy her fried rice, but the other party was probably afraid that she would spend too much money, so she only ordered a bottle of pure milk for 2.5 yuan. She also said that she was full today and did not want to eat fried rice for the time being.
Ji Shishi's kind act made Ji Shishi even more embarrassed.
School meals are not that cheap. A standard meal of meat and vegetables costs seven yuan, which is fourteen yuan a day. Including breakfast and dinner, it costs at least about twenty yuan.
She couldn't afford twenty yuan a day, so she had to save ten yuan for a ride. She could save up to eighty yuan a week on her meal card, usually two vegetarian dishes or one meat dish. When she was hungry, she would have a dinner or buy some biscuits. .
"Here you go, a piece of chocolate." Zhang Xiaolan was drinking the pure milk she bought today and gave her a piece of chocolate.
"I don't like sweet food." Ji Shishi refused.
This brand of chocolate costs seven yuan a piece. She has seen it in the supermarket, and others have given her a piece before. It is very sweet, but she has never bought it herself.
Her stepmother doesn't like her. She has been told since she was a child that she is good at spending money. Even if she does all the housework at home, no one likes her. In fact, she has never eaten many things. As she grows up, she still picks up clothes from her cousin. A sister at home wears it.
"Ring, ring, ring." The school bell rang.
The female head teacher came in with a few books. The people under the podium were silent for a moment, even turning the books out to show off.
"Let me say one thing before going to class. The test questions set by the school are back. One set for each subject. The price after discount is 198 yuan. Everyone should hand over the money to the life committee as soon as possible. We will start from this We will start explaining this set of test questions next week.”
After Ji Shishi heard this, her heart tightened. The head teacher later said how good this set of exercises was and how she calculated the price, but she didn't even listen.
Want money again.
What should I do if her father won’t give her any more money
If you tell the teacher that she doesn’t want it, but the whole class has it, what will she look at during the lecture
She listened to this class absent-mindedly, distracted several times, and was called on by the class teacher to answer questions.
"Shishi, please translate the next sentence." The head teacher said to her while writing on the blackboard.
Ji Shishi didn't know where the lecture was at all. She was holding the textbook and was extremely embarrassed. Zhang Xiaolan also didn't listen to the lecture and asked the desk behind her desperately, "Where did the lecture go?"
Before the other party could say anything, the head teacher looked up and looked over with a twinkle in his eyes, "Sit down and listen to the class carefully."
Ji Shishi lowered her head, bent slightly toward her, endured the embarrassment and sat down, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She didn't dare to be distracted in the next class, but she couldn't concentrate on it.
Several girls in the dormitory have been observing her. Led by Chen Ling, they are a group of little girls who usually fight in groups with boys. They are incompatible with a quiet and outstanding student like Ji Shishi, and are even a little bit hostile.
Ji Shishi was always the slowest to pay the money. This time, she didn't pay the uniform fee immediately when school started. She had to attend self-study for two nights before giving the money to the teacher.
So every time it was time to pay something, they all liked to watch Ji Shishi's jokes.
What's the use of looking good? The family is extremely poor.
When it came to paying for books, the students were very enthusiastic. Some students with mobile phones had already called home and asked their parents to transfer the money. When they heard that it was for review materials, most of the parents paid it without saying a word.
At noon, many people will bring food back to their dormitories to eat.
Chen Ling received the transfer from her mother and said while eating, "I will transfer it to the life committee now."
"I just transferred too." Zhang Xiaolan answered.
"Borrow your mobile phone and call me. I'll ask my dad to deliver it in the next two days." Another girl next to her said to Chen Ling.
"Here." After Chen Ling finished speaking, he deliberately asked Ji Shishi, "Do you want to call your parents? You don't have to send it over. You can just transfer it to my mobile phone. I'll hand it over for you."
"Forget it, I'll pay it back next week." Ji Shishi forced out a stiff smile and continued eating her meal to cover up her embarrassment.
If she hurriedly called back, Ji's father would definitely not transfer it to her. Every time she went home to get money, it would be okay if her stepmother was not there. Easy, just like charity.
This time it was close to two hundred yuan. If the two of them were to quarrel again, the stepmother would give her a look, and it would last for a long, long time.
"Everyone has finished paying next week, so why are you alone?" Chen Ling picked up the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and frowned, "Why is this chicken a little sour?"
"It tastes terrible."
As soon as she finished speaking, she threw it into the trash can at her feet.
Ji Shishi's face turned a little pale because she also bought two small chicken drumsticks today, because large drumsticks cost six yuan each and small drumsticks only cost two yuan, so that she could still eat a vegetarian dish.
"I think it's a bit too." The girl sitting with Zhang Ling also threw away the chicken legs.
In fact, there is no taste. They just like to see others embarrassed to satisfy their own psychological needs.
In the school age, some children's world, through ignorance and ignorance, does things that are more cruel than the adult world. There are countless "invisible" school violence.
"I didn't eat it." Ji Shishi said.
"What kind of taste do you have?" Chen Ling smiled and said in front of everyone, "Don't be reluctant to spend those few dollars. If you can't eat it, you can't eat it. If you eat it, you will suffer a big loss."
Zhang Xiaolan didn't buy chicken drumsticks today, so she couldn't comment. She looked at Ji Shishi, "Is it really bad? Then don't eat it. It's bad for your stomach."
"No, it's good." Ji Shishi explained anxiously.
But who listens to her explanation
Everyone felt that she was reluctant to part with the few dollars, just like she couldn't afford to eat meat, but she still had to eat it.
"Both of us tasted it and it was bad and sour." Chen Ling also pretended to be exaggerated and said, "I don't know how long it has been there. Could it be that it was not sold out a few days ago?"
At this time, Ji Shishi had two choices before her. First, throw away the chicken legs and follow them. Second, ignore them and continue eating. Whichever one you choose, you are gritting your teeth and swallowing your grievances.
Whether at home or at school, she always has to shrink her neck and survive in the cracks, so as not to be targeted more.
She is not cowardly by nature, she just chose the easiest way to survive since she was a child.
Chen Ling and a few others were just like watching a show, ready to enjoy her subsequent embarrassment.
Ji Shishi's fingertips holding the spoon turned white. Before she could speak, the head teacher's voice came from the door. The other person smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"Ban Ren."
"Hello Ben Ren."
…
Everyone called the head teacher one after another.
"I didn't cook today, so I went to the cafeteria to eat. I stopped by to see you. The aunt in the dormitory said that the hygiene in your dormitory has been a bit dirty recently, and points will be deducted." The head teacher came in with a friendly tone.
"No way, they are all clean." Zhang Xiaolan quickly retorted.
"Look at the bed over here, whose bed belongs to it? It will be cleaned up later." The head teacher looked around and said, "There are also shoe racks, which must be arranged neatly."
"I'll clean it up soon." Zhang Ling promised with a smile when he saw that it was all her shoes.
Ban Ren walked behind Ji Shishi at this time and saw chicken drumsticks in her bowl. "Is this chicken drumstick delicious? The ones made in the cafeteria taste good."
"Yeah." Ji Shishi nodded, as if joking, "But they said it was a bit sour, but I didn't taste it."
"Sour?" Ban Ren frowned, "No, I just ate three."
"I didn't even eat it. It's delicious." Ji Shishi looked sideways at Ban Ren and nodded.
"It won't be sour, let alone go bad. I'll keep samples of the food cooked for you in the cafeteria for a week. They are all qualified." When Ban Ren said this, he was very sure.
Chen Ling's face stiffened, "Maybe it's because I'm not used to it. I don't like this kind of braised chicken drumsticks. I like fried ones."
"I think you ate quite a lot last time, didn't you?" Zhang Xiaolan raised her eyebrows.
"Which time? I never like eating." Chen Ling was about to deny it to the end.
Ban Ren didn't try to figure out what they were thinking. He seemed to remember something and looked at Ji Shishi, "By the way, Shishi, your brother called me today."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the dormitory looked at Ban Ren, and Ji Shishi's heart tightened. Anticipating what was going on, her lips turned white and her eyes were panicked.
She didn't want the head teacher to say it in public. In this case, everyone would know that her parents didn't care about her and it would be difficult for her to go to school.
She never told anyone about her family. They only knew that her family's conditions were not good, but they did not know that her family was a reorganized family and that she was not taken seriously.
"Your brother still knows you very well. You see that you only eat this little when you eat." Ban Ren half-joked and continued, "He transferred two thousand yuan to me and specifically said that he would put it all in your meal card. You Are you using your money to chase stars or buy clothes? Now that the high school entrance examination is coming, you have to focus on your studies."
Chen Ling and others were shocked. Ji Shishi had been calculating money for food every time they had been in the same dormitory for so long. Her brother could save two thousand for her at once, and he was not like a poor family.
Are you really saving money to buy clothes or chase celebrities
In front of a group of students, having no money to eat because of shopping for clothes or chasing celebrities is different from having no money to eat. The students' vanity is not weak at all, and they will look down on the latter.
Ji Shishi was also surprised. She looked at Ban Ren, as if she had heard wrongly, "Is that so many?"
She only put 2,000 into her meal card in one semester, and she could use it until she graduated.
"Eat more. If you can't finish it, you can return it after graduation. Isn't your brother afraid that you won't be able to keep up with your nutrition? He also paid for the textbook fee for you. I also told Chen Na." Ban Ren patted her gently. Patting her on the head, "I'm going back first. You guys should hurry up and take a lunch break, otherwise you'll be sleepy again in class in the afternoon."
"I know Ban Ren."
"Bye bye class."
"Bye-Bye."
…
When Ban Ren left, Zhang Xiaolan was the first to grab her hand, looking at her eagerly, a little excited, "I want your brother, I also want a brother like this."
Ji Shishi was eating chicken drumsticks, feeling a little happy and proud, but she was worried that Ji Huaiquan would starve if he gave her the money.
Zhang Xiaolan asked again, "How old is your brother?"
"Twenty-two, seven years older than me." Ji Shishi was a little shy when she told others about her family for the first time.
In the past, even Zhang Xiaolan only knew that she had a brother and nothing else.
"How high?"
"It seems to be about 1.8 meters, I don't know the details."
"Are you thin? Do you have abdominal muscles?" Zhang Xiaolan's eyes lit up and he held her hand tightly.
"Slim, but I don't know if he is. He really likes fitness." Ji Shishi said.
"You are so good-looking, isn't your brother very handsome?" Zhang Xiaolan had already imagined the male protagonist in the romance novel, and she was drooling.
"My brother is very good-looking." Ji Shishi has always felt that Ji Huai is better looking than him and better than her in everything, because no one thinks she is good, and she has low self-esteem.
"I want to be your sister-in-law." Zhang Xiaolan said quickly, with almost no love in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, is it okay? I will be good to you and your brother. As long as I am handsome, I can do anything. I will work hard and will not complain. But your brother is so considerate, and I can’t do it anymore.”
Ji Shishi took another bite of the chicken leg and whispered, "I...I have a sister-in-law, and she is very nice."
Zhang Xiaolan looked gloomy, her hopes were shattered, as if she was lovelorn.
Chen Ling was not convinced. She originally thought that Ji Shishi had nothing and was definitely not valued at home. She did a lot of housework. Why did a brother who loved her so much suddenly appear? So she said, "I've never heard you say that your brother is What do you do, don’t you stop studying?”
"My brother is only a junior at T University." Ji Shishi replied to her.
T University is a national key university, which sounds very impressive at first glance. You have to pass the No. 1 Middle School in the city to get into the school.
"How much money can I give you to go to school? Your family is rich, right?" Chen Ling still grabbed her and tried her from another point.
"My brother earned it from part-time job." Ji Shishi thought of what Ji Huai said yesterday about part-time job. It should be earned from part-time job.
It was all hard-earned money, and she felt even more guilty.
"Your brother loves you so much. If he were my brother, he would not give me money to spend, but would only defraud me of my money. Let's find another brother." The girl who was reading on the bed got up, with envy in her eyes, "This He is someone else’s brother, not my brother.”
Ji Shishi felt a little sweet in her heart, and the salty chicken drumstick tasted sweet. Although her brother always bullied her, he actually loved her very much.
She must study hard and live up to her brother's expectations of her!
Chen Ling didn't look good. She used to make fun of Ji Shishi because her family had no money and she was a poor person. Now her brother is a top student, handsome and loves her very much, so she feels very proud of her. Some of the things were broken.
She is not as good as Ji Shishi.
