Xiao Qin might have been afraid of being scolded by her mom, so she took the subway home after handing me three boxes of frozen seafood (as well as an aluminum trolley).
"Ye Lin classmate, you should also hurry home. Don't forget to add some ice cubes to the container. Otherwise, I'll die if I eat bad seafood tomorrow. "
"I'll go back and eat dinner with my mom, then I'll prepare a lunchbox for you ~?"
"If my lunchbox tastes good, then please continue praising me tomorrow."
Xiao Qin hummed a song and happily left by herself.
The class leader was truly a frugal person. She immediately knew the Walmart near my house had a discount and even sent Xiao Qin to buy it. I reckon the supermarket Loud Mouth and Xiong YaoYue went to might also have a discount on beef and mutton.
I brought the frozen seafood home and started putting ice cubes inside when my dad came back from a business meeting.
"Eh? Xiao Lin, why did you buy so much fish and shrimp? I thought you didn't like fish and shrimp? "
It's not that I'm picky, it's just that I have to remove the shell and spit out the bones.
"It's not me, it's Xiao Qin … no, it's our class going on a field trip tomorrow."
"You guys are going on a field trip?" My dad asked curiously, "Where? For how many days? "
"We're going to Yining County's Cuisong Mountain. We'll leave at 9 am tomorrow and return at 5 pm the day after." I counted on my fingers, "It'll be around 40 hours, almost two days."
Even though Yining County was transferred to the Dong Shan city government two years ago and became the Yining District, the locals still couldn't change the old name.
"Cuisong Mountain …" Dad closed his eyes and tried to recall the memories in his mind. "That place is not bad. When I was in university, I went there with my roommates. I don't remember much, but I saw butterflies flying all over the mountain."
"That's right, there are still entomologists who go up the mountain to catch butterfly specimens."
At least that's what the principal of the special education school said. The two entomologists who come every summer are probably the few regular guests at the school hostel.
"Oh right, Xiao Lin, have you heard of the 'Blue Flash Butterfly'?" My dad pushed up his glasses with a mysterious expression.
"I've heard of it. You told me about it when I was younger. Isn't it just a large blue butterfly? I heard it's a national treasure of Brazil! "
"When I went to the Emerald Pine Mountain, I think I saw a Blue Flash Butterfly once …"
"Dad, don't talk nonsense! Wasn't the Blue Flash Butterfly a tropical butterfly? Dong Shan city is more than a thousand kilometers away from the Tropic of Cancer, how can there be tropical butterflies! "
"I … I saw it very clearly at that time. Even if it wasn't a Blue Flash Butterfly, it should be a similar species. Perhaps it hasn't been discovered by the scientific community yet … It's a pity that I didn't catch it. Otherwise, I would be rich!"
Dad said while shaking his head. At the same time, we put ice cubes into the container.
I don't believe it. Shu Zhe came up with a bad idea and let everyone spread the rumor that there are rare butterflies in Cuisong Mountain to attract customers for the special education school. Could it be that there are really rare butterflies on this mountain?
"Dad, you must have been obsessed with money back then. You wanted to get rich so badly that you went crazy, didn't you?"
"Tsk, why don't you believe me, Xiao Lin! I wasn't the only one who saw it! And your Uncle Gou Sheng … go ask him! "
Hey, hey, hey, he wants me to call him Uncle He in front of him, but he keeps saying 'Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng' behind his back. He Ling's dad is crying!
Dad and I chatted for a while about the 'suspected Blue Flash Butterfly' species. At this time, the ice cubes in the container should be enough.
"Oh right, dad, who did you go to talk business with early this morning?"
Dad took out the Youpo Noodles he brought back and placed it on the table. I sat down and chatted with him while eating.
"Xiao Lin, do you know the adult goods store called 'Qiao Bao'?"
"I do!" I slapped the table, "Isn't it just colluding with our Happy Valley … no, it's a store that trades with each other? Did the owner want to talk to you about something? "
Dad picked up a strand of noodles and put it to his mouth, blowing at the steam that had yet to dissipate.
"Life is hard to predict! 'Qiao Bao' is a store run by a husband and wife. They started from scratch and slowly built it up. Their daily sales are much higher than ours. Unfortunately, once they got rich, they had an affair and they're currently in the middle of a divorce. They don't fight over property or savings, they mainly fight over this online store, since it's a money tree … "
"It's because the owner of 'Qiao Bao' is familiar with me. He's currently negotiating with me to sell a batch of goods to me at a lower price. He's asking me if I want to take it …"
I frowned: "Don't tell me it's those ¥100,000 gold massage sticks? Those scam goods can't even be sold in a year! "
"No, no." Dad waved his hand, "They're all hot items. After all, I've been in this business for over ten years, they can't fool me …"
What's there to be proud of! You've been in the adult goods store for over ten years, your experience is even scarier than the gold massage sticks!
"If it's a hot item, why would he sell it to you at a lower price? Did he eat too much? "
I asked my own question.
Dad picked up a few more strands of noodles, "That's why it's all because of the divorce! Since the court might give the store to his wife, he sold a portion of the goods in a fit of anger while he was still in charge of the warehouse. He wouldn't give it to his wife even if it was a loss! "
It's actually possible. There have been cases in foreign countries where a husband and wife got divorced and split their assets equally. Then the husband would throw money on the streets and give it to anyone but his wife.
Sigh, what is love in this world? If I knew it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have gotten married.
"Since he's willing to sell it at a loss, you should buy it!" I persuaded my dad, "In this situation, he'll sell it to someone else even if you don't buy it. Why let someone else take advantage of you!"
"That's true …" Dad scratched his face, "Then I'll check the inventory and liquid funds tonight and see how much I can buy …"
Thus, the "heart-to-heart talk" with me that we had agreed on was postponed indefinitely.
I didn't really care. Even if my dad didn't talk to me, I wouldn't do anything to my sister Ai Mi.
The next morning, I woke up early as usual. I ate a simple breakfast and put a few frozen mineral water bottles in a plastic container. Then, I walked to the bus stop near the class leader's house with an aluminum shopping cart.
Of course, I was also carrying a camouflage medium sized backpack. It was a series of survival supplies my dad gave me for my birthday last year. I really like it.
Ah, it would be perfect if it was paired with the Swiss army knife. Unfortunately, it was stolen by Xiao Qin.
There were few people on the streets and even the sound of a ball of paper rolling on the ground was loud. I thought I arrived early enough, but there was already someone standing under the 23rd street stop sign.
It was Xiong YaoYue. She was wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts. It was probably because the morning wind was a bit cold, so she ran over to warm herself up.
Yesterday, the class leader specifically told everyone to wear the class uniform. It was the white t-shirt with the number '3' printed on the front, a crown, and the words' We were together in those years' printed on the back.
The class leader hasn't worn this uniform since the school basketball games, so the class leader thought it was a good opportunity.
It's like how tourist groups always give everyone the same colored vest. Everyone wears the uniform so they can manage and find out if someone is left behind.
School uniforms aren't good. First of all, every student in the school has a uniform, and sometimes there aren't many differences between schools.
Not to mention 28 Middle's summer uniform. For girls, they wear skirts.
Skirts aren't suitable for mountain climbing, otherwise you would be able to see everything under the skirt. The boys would also bleed from their noses as a sign of respect.
It's a lot easier to deal with if you change to the class uniform. The uniform is just a t-shirt on the upper body, which is suitable in the middle of summer. The lower body can be freely chosen.
Xiong YaoYue chose shorts without any hesitation. It revealed a large area of her tanned skin and made her look as energetic as usual.
"Oh! Ye Lin, you're the second one! "Xiong YaoYue waved at me with a willow leaf in her mouth.
"It's a pity, but second is second. Ye Lin, you can only be second! I'm the champion! "
Xiong YaoYue stepped on the trash can next to her with one foot and started laughing.
How much do you care about rankings if you're the first one to arrive at the bus stop! You're always at the bottom of the exam every year, but I don't see you learning from your mistakes and working hard!
"I heard Ai Mi was mad at you?" Xiong YaoYue suddenly lowered her voice.
My heart skipped a beat. I'm not sure if Ai Mi revealed our relationship to Xiong YaoYue when she was agitated.
A heavy hit landed on my shoulder and Xiong YaoYue's' encouraging 'punch made me stagger.
"Don't be so calculative with your cousin! Go easy on her! "
Xiong YaoYue's words indicated that she didn't know Ai Mi and I were biological siblings.
But with her close relationship with Ai Mi, I felt like I couldn't hide it for too long.
Xiong YaoYue also found out about me and Xiao Qin dating. Although I told Xiong YaoYue to keep it a secret and not tell anyone because of Xiao Qin's mother's strong objections …
It's said that Mo Yanjun leaves early, and there are even more early pedestrians. Xiong YaoYue and I came out so early, but we could still see a couple walking on the road. Looking at their tired but happy gait, it seems like they started walking here yesterday morning.
The two of them walked hand in hand, and as they walked, they hugged and kissed.
Xiong YaoYue saw it and seemed to think of something related to her. She frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly shouted: "Ye Lin — —"
"What?" I turned my face away.
"Pa — —"
Xiong YaoYue suddenly made a move and slapped me in the face with lightning speed!
Huh? You actually hit me! Even my dad has never hit me! I covered my face and looked at her in shock. I didn't know what she was doing.
Xiong YaoYue put one hand on her waist and pointed at my nose with the other and said:
"Do you know why I hit you?"
"I don't know!" I replied pitifully and doubtfully.
"Hmph! This slap was for Xiao Qin! " Xiong YaoYue said angrily, "That time on the business street, you wanted to kiss me in order to prove you weren't gay! It's fine if you don't have a girlfriend, but since you have a girlfriend like Xiao Qin, how are you going to face Xiao Qin and me? "
