On the first night, the six of them from Room 351 went to the cafeteria for dinner.
Along the way, Li Dong and the rest met many small groups. They seemed to be freshmen. Freshmen usually liked to group up in their dormitories.
The campus of Jiangzhou University was huge. It took more than ten minutes to walk from Li Dong's dormitory to the nearest cafeteria.
When they came back, Yuan Qingfeng complained that the food in the cafeteria was terrible. It was not to his taste and he would not go there anymore.
Li Dong and the rest thought it was okay. It was mainly because Yuan Qingfeng was from Lu Province and was not used to the food here in Jiangbei.
Meng Qiping suggested, "Why don't we all buy a bicycle? Otherwise, we'll be exhausted from walking every day. The academic building is quite far from our dormitory."
Everyone agreed with this suggestion. They discussed buying bicycles the next morning.
Xu Chen hung up the phone and shouted, "I know a senior who's in the fourth year. He said we can buy second-hand bicycles. He has a way. They're all left by the seniors who graduated. It's cheap and cost-effective. "
The others did not have any objections. Li Dong agreed too. It was just a means of transportation. It did not matter if it was new or old.
Everyone was excited that night. They talked about a lot of things. It was not until late at night that the voices gradually died down.
…
The next morning, the people from Room 351 all got to work.
They first went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Then, they began to walk around the campus to familiarize themselves with the environment of Jiangzhou University.
Although Li Dong was familiar with Jiangzhou University, it was his first time wandering around the campus as a Jiangzhou University student. His identity was different, so the feeling was naturally different.
They walked until around ten o 'clock when Xu Chen received a call.
He hung up the phone after a few simple words. Xu Chen said, "A senior called. He asked us to go to the square below Jiujiao. He's waiting for us there."
There were more than ten academic buildings in Jiangzhou University. Each academic building had its own name. However, everyone was used to calling it Jiujiao.
After a long time, everyone got used to it. This tradition was maintained from generation to generation.
Jiujiao was not far from where they were. In less than ten minutes, Li Dong and the rest arrived at the square in front of Jiujiao.
Xu Chen shouted from afar, "Brother Tao!"
A boy not far from the crowd waved his hand and said, "Come here!"
The few of them followed Xu Chen over. The boy wasn't too enthusiastic and just nodded at them as a greeting.
Then, he led Li Dong and the others to the parking shed at the side of the square. He pointed at the corner of the parking shed and said, "These cars are for sale. Pick one for yourselves."
Li Dong took a look. There were about a dozen bicycles, all of which were old and not new.
Li Dong pointed at an 80% new bicycle and asked, "How much is this?"
The boy glanced at it and said, "200. I bought this car half a year ago. It won't be a problem to use it until you graduate."
Li Dong felt that it was okay. The price wasn't too cheap, but it wasn't too expensive either. If he bought a new car, it would cost about four or five hundred yuan.
He took out two hundred yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to the other party. After taking the key from the other party, Li Dong unlocked the bike and rode it for a round. There was no problem, but the chain was out of oil.
The others also started to pick. Soon, everyone had chosen a car. The price ranged from tens to hundreds.
Finally, only Yuan Qingfeng didn't move. Seeing everyone looking at him, Yuan Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't want it. I'm tall. These cars are too low and not suitable for me."
Li Dong didn't know what the others thought, but Li Dong could tell that Yuan Qingfeng didn't want to buy an old car.
Looking at Yuan Qingfeng's clothes, his family environment should be good.
It was his freedom to buy or not. The others didn't say anything, but Li Dong could clearly see that Xu Chen was a little dissatisfied.
Last night, when Xu Chen said he wanted to buy an old car, Yuan Qingfeng also nodded. In the morning, he called and told the senior that he wanted six.
Now that Yuan Qingfeng didn't buy it, Xu Chen naturally felt that he had lost face.
The senior who sold the cars didn't say anything. Seeing that everyone had chosen a car, he said a few words to Xu Chen and left in a hurry.
…
By the time the cars were chosen, it was almost 11: 30.
Everyone wanted to ride their newly bought cars for a walk, so they decided to ride to the cafeteria together to eat.
Because Yuan Qingfeng didn't have a car, Li Dong offered to give him a ride. Yuan Qingfeng shook his head and refused, saying that he couldn't eat in the cafeteria and was going to find something to eat himself.
Li Dong didn't try to persuade him. They had different eating habits, and he couldn't force them to eat in the cafeteria.
After Yuan Qingfeng left, Xu Chen complained, "This guy is too unsociable. He went solo the next day."
"Old Yuan is from Lu Province. It's normal that he can't get used to the food here. Stop complaining." Meng Qiping smiled and changed the topic. "I'll go first. Who wants to compete with me?"
"I'll compete with you!"
Xu Chen also let go of his resentment towards Yuan Qingfeng and hurriedly rode after him.
Li Dong, Li Tie, and Zhang Hao rode slowly behind. Li Tie said casually, "Dongzi, what do you think about me running for class monitor in the afternoon class meeting?"
Li Dong glanced at him and nodded with a smile. "Okay. If you become class monitor, it'll be more convenient for us in the future."
"I support it too!" Zhang Hao quickly echoed.
Li Tie smiled and didn't say anything else.
During lunch, Li Tie, Xu Chen, and Meng Qiping also talked about the election. Neither of them had any objections and expressed their support.
Meng Qiping, in particular, was even more excited. "If Brother Tie becomes class monitor, it'll be much more convenient for us to skip class in the future!"
Everyone scoffed at him. This guy was thinking of skipping class even before school started. He really wasn't a good person!
Xu Chen also smiled and said, "Let's go eat breakfast in the afternoon and help Li Tie canvass for votes."
Hearing everyone say that, Li Tie's smile widened and he spoke a lot more than yesterday.
After eating in the cafeteria, they returned to the dormitory together.
When they came back, Yuan Qingfeng wasn't there. Yuan Qingfeng only hurried back around 2: 30 pm.
Li Dong and the others didn't ask where he went. It was obvious that it wouldn't take that long to eat.
Because the meeting was at 3 pm, there was no time to chat. The six people from Dormitory 351 went to the three religions together.
…
When Li Dong and the others arrived at the classroom, there were already a lot of people in the classroom.
The crowd was almost arranged according to the dormitory. The small groups were clearly divided. It was their first time meeting each other, so they didn't have much to say.
Li Dong and the others found empty seats and sat down. Xu Chen was quite bold. After sitting for a while, he really ran to help Li Tie canvass for votes.
After a while, Li Dong and the others saw Xu Chen chatting happily with a few girls. From time to time, he pointed in Li Dong's direction and said something.
Seeing that, Li Tie couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly got up and walked over to Xu Chen.
Yuan Qingfeng hadn't moved since he entered the classroom. When he saw Li Tie leave, Yuan Qingfeng frowned slightly and said, "Li Tie wants to run for class committee? Is it the class monitor or something? "
"Class monitor, we'll all vote for him later. If he becomes the class monitor, we'll be blessed." Meng Qiping chuckled as if he could see the happy life in the future.
However, Yuan Qingfeng's face showed a hint of hesitation. After struggling for a moment, he said, "I want to run for class monitor too!"
Li Dong and the others were stunned. What did he mean?
Two people from the same dormitory were running for class monitor. Was he trying to challenge them?
As if he was afraid that Li Dong and the others would misunderstand, Yuan Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "I've been the class monitor for three years in high school. Also, class monitors can join the party in advance. I'm preparing to take the civil service exam after graduating from university. Having a longer party membership is an advantage."
Li Dong didn't know what to say. Yuan Qingfeng meant that Dormitory 351 would support him. If Yuan Qingfeng had told them in advance, they definitely wouldn't have hesitated.
After all, they weren't running, so it didn't matter who they voted for.
However, Li Tie had already said that they would support him. Now that Yuan Qingfeng suddenly interfered, what could they do?
Li Dong thought about it and persuaded him, "If you just want to join the party in advance, it's the same to run for other positions. You're almost qualified to be a class monitor."
Yuan Qingfeng didn't say anything. Li Dong didn't know if he had given up or was going to continue to compete with Li Tie.
After about two or three minutes of silence, Yuan Qingfeng seemed to have made up his mind. He got up and walked to the other students, probably to canvass for votes.
Meng Qiping habitually squinted his small eyes and said in a low voice, "Brother Dong, do you think Yuan is still going to run for class monitor?"
Li Dong shook his head. He was not a god. How could he guess what Yuan Qingfeng was thinking?
Zhang Hao, who had been almost invisible, suddenly said, "Whether he runs or not, I'll vote for Brother Tie."
Li Dong and Meng Qiping didn't say anything.
However, Li Dong still hoped that Yuan Qingfeng would run for other positions. After all, they were in the same dormitory. If there was any conflict, it would be difficult to get along in the future.
