General Assembly.
In the school.
After the old classmates met, they chatted excitedly. They talked about their loved ones, their children, and their salaries. It was as if they were showing off. Dong Xuebing is a talkative person. But during his university days, he had been a man of few words and always sits at the back of his class. No one knows him. Now, they are old classmates, and it's hard to change their way of interacting. Also, Dong Xuebing had been keeping a low profile recently and did not speak much to his colleagues. That's why Dong Xuebing could only listen to the three of them chatting. Other than exchanging a few words with Dong Xuebing at the start, the rest of the conversation revolved around Le Haidong. After all, he is from the City's Ministry of Education. In this era, it is not easy for children to go to school. Sun Ruhua and Zhao Meng are not from Beijing and will face some problems in the future. With Le Haidong's help, their children's education problems might be solved. That's why the three of them complimented him.
"Haidong, why is your wife not here?"
"Sigh. She is not from the University, and we did not ask her to come."
"Haha, I still have not met your wife. Can we have a meal together?"
"Sure. But I might be busy. Let's contact each other in advance."
"Haidong, I heard your wife is pretty. I must meet her too. Let me know when we have a meal together."
The core of the group had been decided, and Dong Xuebing did not care much about it. This was because he was not someone who liked to show off. Recently, he had started to keep a low profile. So, he just smiled and listened to their conversation. Dong Xuebing was not here to chat. His main purpose was to help Teacher Jiang and at the same time, meet up with his old classmates and reminisce about his youth.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Min's figure quickly walked over from the auditorium.
"Eh, Teacher Jiang."
"Teacher Jiang is here."
"Ah, Teacher Jiang has become prettier again?"
The rest of them immediately went up to greet Jiang Min.
Jiang Min was dressed in a more old-fashioned and serious outfit. She was wearing a dark-toned suit and shirt. She looked a little old-fashioned, but it matched her identity as an advanced mathematics teacher very well. "I'm sorry, did you guys wait long? Teacher has some matters to attend to, so I'm a little slow. Oh, this is Ru Hua, right? You have lost weight. "
Sun Ruhua was overjoyed. "You are getting prettier."
Jiang Min looked at the others and said, "Are you Zhao Meng? You've grown taller again. You should be 1.85 meters now, right? Hmm, Hai Dong also has the bearing of a cadre. You've all grown up. "Teacher Jiang looked at his students one by one, and there was a lot of relief in his eyes.
Le Haidong smiled and said, "It's all thanks to your good teaching."
Sun Ruhua was very excited when she saw the teacher. She went up and hugged Jiang Min's arm. She giggled and said, "Teacher, what's our task today?"
Jiang Minnuan smiled and said, "Teacher is leading a class this time. They are going to rehearse a group show. When the time comes, there will be a performance at the school anniversary, and there is no one in the class. However, there are still some tasks assigned to our class, and there is no time for them to do them, so I have to ask for your help. Those who have the intelligence, use your wisdom, and those who have the strength, use your strength. The school anniversary will officially begin at 10 AM, and we have less than four hours to go.
Sun Ruhua said, "Alright, then I'll come up with wisdom."
Zhao Meng was amused. "You still have intelligence? How many times did you say you made up for Teacher Jiang's lessons? "
"We are the same. Don't scold me." Sun Ruhua retorted. The few of them laughed and joked with each other for a long time.
Only Dong Xuebing stood there calmly and did not say a word.
Jiang Min glanced at Dong Xuebing. She knew Dong Xuebing was not a sociable person and did not say much.
Sun Ruhua and Le Haidong did not like Dong Xuebing. Sun Ruhua's parents were rich, and she does not have to worry about food or clothing. She always had a sense of superiority. Zhao Meng's family was about the same as her. Le Haidong was promoted to a cadre at such a young age, and it should be the same as when he was still in school. He did not like Dong Xuebing and did not want to interact with him.
… …
At the entrance of the auditorium.
Jiang Min brought a few students into the auditorium.
There were quite a lot of people in the auditorium's lecture hall. There were students, teachers, and school leaders. Many people were preparing banners and nameplates with the leaders' names. Some of them had only been notified at the last minute, so they had to prepare in time. It was impossible to leave anyone behind. The scene was bustling.
Inside the auditorium.
"Teacher Jiang, no one from your class is here?" A teacher asked.
"I had asked them to rehearse a few more times, but they are not here." Jiang Min replied.
"There is not much time left. I will get a few of my classmates to help you. You all still need to move the things out. There are quite a lot of things here." That teacher said.
"Thank you. No need. I had brought a few students with me, and they are all graduates." After saying that, Jiang Min turned her head and said, "Let's move the tables first. We need to move at least three of them backstage. When the time comes, we will listen to the school leaders on how to decorate the place. That's none of our business. Oh right, we also need to move some flower baskets.
Backstage.
Zhao Meng was the strongest and was the first to move a table.
Dong Xuebing also went up and carried a wooden table covered with a tablecloth.
But Jiang Min saw Dong Xuebing was too skinny and offered to help him carry the table. "Teacher, come with me."
Sun Ruhua quickly said. "Please don't, Teacher Jiang. How can I let you help me? Let me do it."
"Alright. I will leave these teachers to you all. I still have some matters to attend to and will be back in a while." Teacher Jiang left and spoke to one of the school's leaders.
Everyone started to get busy, but Le Haidong didn't move much. He just moved some lighter things and strolled out leisurely.
Sun Ruhua and the rest did not say anything. Le Haidong was different from the past. He was already a leader, and they should not let him carry the heavy items.
But after about 10 minutes.
Zhao Meng noticed that Le Haidong was very relaxed, so he didn't put in much effort. Now that he was considered an official of a state-owned enterprise, he felt that it was a bit degrading to work with a bunch of university students. In the end, he went over to drink water with Le Haidong. Sun Ruhua was a woman, and no one would ask her to do anything. Seeing that the two of them had left, she lazily followed them.
The 3 of them chatted again.
In the end, all the heavy items were carried by Dong Xuebing alone.
1 item …
3 items …
5 items …
Jiang Min returned and saw Dong Xuebing working alone. She looked at Le Haidong and the rest of the students and did not say anything. This was voluntary, and she quickly came over to help Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing did not need her and asked Teacher Jiang to rest. He carried the items by himself.
Dong Xuebing did not feel it was beneath him to help Teacher Jiang carry the items. In fact, he felt it was normal for him to do so.
