The class leader nodded, "Auntie, does that school really exist?"
The auntie moved the egg on her lap as if she was trying to find a wife for her silly son.
"Well, there is, but the teachers don't get paid very well. Everyone in the village thinks it's better to work as a salesperson!"
Shu Zhe said with indescribable excitement: "Sister, I didn't lie to bro Ye Lin, right? How about we turn around at the next stop and head back … "
"We've already been on the bus for so long, there's no harm in taking a look." The class leader insisted.
The auntie protecting the egg was probably bored, so she introduced:
"There's nothing to see at the youth's home, but the Cuisong Mountain behind it can barely be considered a tourist attraction. But it's inconvenient to go there and there's not enough publicity, so no one comes … Are you guys planning on camping in the Cuisong Mountain?"
We were indeed going to get off at the Cuisong Mountain station, but we're not going camping! Have you ever seen a camper like us, traveling light and not even bringing any food? If the class leader and I don't have anything to eat when we get to the top, do we have to cook Shu Zhe!
Also, whenever we mention wilderness survival, I would remember how Xiao Qin cheated me out of my Swiss army knife. Damn, I have to get it back!
"We're not going hiking." The class leader said while looking at her knees. She was probably thinking: I wouldn't be wearing a skirt if we were going hiking.
The auntie frowned, "If we're not going hiking, there's nothing to see there … the youth's home is full of idiots …"
The class leader cleared her throat in dissatisfaction and reminded the auntie that it was rude to call the handicapped children in the special education school idiots.
The auntie misunderstood the class leader's meaning. She probably thought the class leader went to the youth's home to observe the teaching environment, and the word idiot was a taboo. She probably had a relative who wasn't very smart and was planning on sending them to the youth's home.
The auntie, who was as gossipy as Loud Mouth, once again sized up the class leader.
Firm eyes, extraordinary appearance, natural and unrestrained, it doesn't seem like she has any hidden illnesses.
Then she looked at Shu Zhe.
He was also a talented individual, he was ranked fifth in the province in the Olympiad last year and was a good student last year. He definitely doesn't have anything to do with the word idiot.
Finally, she looked at me.
What the hell! Auntie, what kind of gossip are you looking for? Why did you nod? Why do you have an expression that says' so that's how it is! '? Do you think I'm the only one with a problem in my head and the class leader is taking me to school?
Get back here! If you have the guts, don't get off at the station! I'm going to smash all your eggs! I want them to die without a complete corpse!
After the auntie got off, we passed two more stops before we arrived at our destination.
Shu Zhe coughed as he stood under the rusted sign that read 'Cui Song Mountain Station'. The class leader also covered her mouth and nose.
In order to prevent myself from getting a respiratory illness, I hurriedly followed the route in my memory and led them to a winding path in the woods.
The white building hidden in the greenery on the left was the special education school that I had been to once before.
"Why are there so many blind tracks on the field? How uncomfortable!"
After entering the school gate, Shu Zhe complained while chewing the gum in his mouth.
"You idiot!" I pulled Shu Zhe to the side and reminded him in a low voice, "You're currently acting as a philanthropist filled with love, at least act like that in front of your sister!"
"I, I understand …" Shu Zhe spat out the gum on a napkin, took a deep breath and changed his mood. Then, he said in a sorrowful voice with superb acting skills that surpassed most popular actors:
"A lot of children are born without the light of day, how unfortunate! How unfortunate! "
His visit this time also coincided with the time when the students were in class. The field was silent, and compared to the city, this school surrounded by mountains seemed more serene and tranquil. It had the effect of calming one's mind.
The school's bespectacled principal personally came out to greet us after he saw us enter the school gate from afar.
The school's financial situation wasn't good, so they couldn't hire a lot of people. Instead, he set an example by taking on odd jobs as a security guard and a cleaner. Occasionally, he would personally receive guests.
Last time Peng TouSi brought me over, I even played a game of chess with the school's chess genius' Xiao Yu ', so the principal had a deep impression of me.
"You're 28 Middle classmate, right? And you brought two of your friends? Welcome, welcome! "
He enthusiastically extended his hand and introduced himself to the three of us. In this day and age, it's rare to see a principal who doesn't put on airs like him.
When it was the class leader's turn to shake hands with the principal, she seemed a bit embarrassed. After all, she was suspicious of his identity an hour ago.
Then, just like last time, the principal led us around the corridors of the school building. Through the glass door, we could see the students in class.
The pictures on the wall that once touched my heart, the teachers and students living together, studying, participating in performances, and competitions also touched the class leader.
I already expected this since the class leader has always sympathized with the weak.
From a psychological perspective, people who think they're strong tend to be kinder to the weak. Only those who think they're weak will be cruel — — Shu Zhe is a good example.
The principal didn't see through Shu Zhe's true colors and kept praising the class leader for having a caring brother. As a middle school student, he actually donated the money he earned to handicapped children. He's a role model.
The more the class leader listened, the more embarrassed she became. On one hand, she knew her brother really did donate money to disadvantaged groups, so her previous suspicions were too arbitrary. On the other hand, the money was earned by her brother as a trap, so she didn't know how to react.
"You just have to smile." I advised the class leader with a deadpan expression.
The class leader's dark pupils shot out a gaze that could be written as' smile ', but it could be read as' disdain '.
"Even if your intentions were good, it's not right for my brother to wear those clothes."
"It can't be helped." I put my hands in my pockets and shrugged, "It's your brother's fault for caring too much about his ranking."
"Ranking?"
"Yeah." I told the class leader the lie I made up on the way here, "Because Shu Zhe was too poisoned by exam-oriented education, he realized Winnie's ranking was above him after he donated once, so he swore he would surpass Winnie no matter what …"
"I told him: Winnie was only able to donate that much money because she was friends with a nouveau riche. He didn't listen at all, so he sacrificed his dignity as a man to make more trap photos and even videos to increase his income. In the end, I couldn't control him at all, he was completely obsessed."
This set of words should be more in line with Shu Zhe's personality. After staying with Xiao Qin for a long time, my ability to lie has also improved. It's just that I have to spend a lot of time to perfect the lie every time. I can't be as fluent as Xiao Qin.
"Is that so?" The class leader asked his brother in an inquiring tone.
"That's right." Shu Zhe answered without much confidence. He glanced at me and tried to gain more confidence from my expression.
"Sigh, what should I say?" The class leader's gaze swept over the photos on the wall, "I'm not against your idea of doing charity, I'm actually happy. It's rare for someone as talented as you to be able to see other people's pain."
"But you have to act within your capabilities. You can't climb above Winnie just because she donated more than you. Also, at your age, it's not the time to work, it's the time to learn how to be a person."
As for knowledge, Shu Zhe actually didn't lack much. It could be said that he didn't lack knowledge, but he lacked morals. As for how to "behave" between boys and girls, Shu Zhe might even know more than you, the elder sister.
"Then, then I won't do it anymore." Shu Zhe lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "As for the clothes, do I have to burn them?"
"No need to burn them, give them to the online store and see if they can be sold as secondhand goods. If they can be sold, then it'll be your last donation. "
Based on the class leader's tone, she still doubted if there would be a market for Shu Zhe's female clothing. Little did she know, this is a perverted goods store in Happy Valley … no, it's one of the most popular products in Happy Valley. As soon as I put them up, they would all be snatched up by people like Cilantro Buns, Uncle Fireball, and Popeye.
Based on Shu Zhe's expression, it seems like he was reluctant to part with his collection of female clothing. But I signaled him with my eyes to let him follow his sister's wishes.
"Mr. Principal," the class leader suddenly stopped and spoke with an attitude close to that of a business consultant, "Purely relying on social donations isn't the fundamental solution to the problem. My brother's personal donations are on the first page, so the total amount of donations isn't too optimistic, right?"
The bespectacled principal's eyebrows furrowed deeply as the class leader touched his sore spot.
"I know donations alone aren't enough, but other than raising tuition, there's no other way to increase income. But these kids aren't rich …"
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but isn't our school right next to Chisong Mountain? Principal, don't you have any thoughts of doing some tourism related businesses? "
"I do …" The principal smiled bitterly, "Since the land in the outskirts isn't worth much and the school is still pretty big, we once turned the extra dorms into a simple hotel for tourists to rest in. But Chisong Mountain isn't very famous. Other than a few insect collectors, there aren't any other customers."
When the class leader and the principal were discussing how to increase income and reduce expenditure, I passed by the activity room and heard the sound of chess pieces landing on the board.
Is Xiao Yu setting up a chess record? Although it's lonely to set up a chess record and someone should play a game with him, I don't want to lose that badly again. And you said Xiao Yu has cerebral palsy? The doctor must have made a wrong diagnosis.
"Shu Zhe, go play a game of Go with someone. Aren't you a genius?"
I didn't have any good intentions in sending Shu Zhe to his death.
"I'm not going." Shu Zhe didn't fall for it, "I don't know how to play Go, and neither does my sister."
Suddenly, the sound of a game ending came from inside the room. I was surprised to find two people were packing up their pieces at the same time, which means someone was already playing with Xiao Yu.
When I was on the phone with the principal at noon, he did say there was another guest here. Could it be the person playing with Xiao Yu?
