Chapter 126 The Eyes of Two Men
"I went to the office to have dinner with Teacher Shen, but I was stopped by Teacher Liu..."
Jiang Yi articulated clearly and logically thought out the whole story.
The dean was silent after hearing this, and he spoke after a while.
"Ms. Liu is not an ordinary teacher, nor can a poor family like you afford to offend her. You still rely on the school to reduce your tuition fees. Will you have a good life in this school after offending her?"
The dean's words were very pertinent. Jiang Yi was silent at first, then raised his head suddenly.
My sister told him that the first thing to do when encountering inequality outside is to straighten your back.
He did nothing wrong in this matter, and it is impossible for him to admit that he was wrong.
Even if Mr. Liu has a strong family background, it is not something ordinary students can afford.
But he didn't cause any trouble. Teacher Liu took the initiative to find him and pour dirty water on his head. Could it be that he couldn't resist?
"I will definitely admit what I did, but I didn't steal anything, so I can't admit my mistakes."
Jiang Yi's attitude was still firm, and the dean shook his head.
"Although your child is good at reading, he has an elm head. I offended Mr. Liu, and I didn't help to say good things. I'm afraid you won't be able to go to school tomorrow."
"How about you still look at my face and admit your mistake to her? What do you think of a slightly better attitude and a little more smile on your face?"
"Even if I drop out of school, I can't admit to stealing things."
Jiang Yi said resolutely, but he had already silently clenched his fists.
My sister has high hopes for him. If he stops studying, will my sister be angry?
Jiang Yi is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that his sister will not like him.
But he also knows that if he admits to stealing for school, his sister will look down on him even more.
It's death anyway, so let's die with dignity!
Jiang Yi made up his mind. Seeing that Jiang Yi was determined and there was no possibility of compromise, the dean could only resort to his last trump card.
"Call your parents over tomorrow, or you won't come to school."
Jiang Yi nodded silently and left. When he returned to the classroom, Jiang Yi's face was very ugly, and two good friends immediately surrounded him.
"Jiang Yi, what happened when the dean called you over just now?"
Realizing that something was wrong with Jiang Yi, Wang Zengping pulled his arm and asked with concern.
"Did he bully you? Tell me, and I'll help you get justice!"
Wang Xiliang rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, but Jiang Yi quickly stopped them.
The three good friends left the school side by side. Jiang Yi felt really uncomfortable and told them what had happened.
"Why is Teacher Liu doing this? He is clearly bullying you!"
"Jiang Yi is so good, how could he do such a thing? And I can testify to you, you brought a meal for two people at noon today, it seems that it is for Mr. Shen!"
The two boys understood Jiang Yi's grievance in an instant. They took turns to comfort Jiang Yi along the way.
Although their words were not helpful, they brought comfort to Jiang Yi's heart.
With the testimony and support of good friends, he believes that there is still room for maneuver in this matter.
Jiang Yi was a little apprehensive at first, and he didn't dare to go back to face his sister, but now he quickened his pace.
Jiang Li has been busy for a whole day. With Jiang Longtao's help, all the ingredients for the yam glutinous rice cake have been prepared, and the cake embryo has also been prepared. The last step is to cook.
Today, only part of it can be steamed. After it is done, let it cool and wrap it in oiled paper. It can be sold tomorrow.
It only took one to two days before and after hundreds of pastries, Jiang Li felt that this efficiency was still acceptable.
In the evening, Jiang Li was going to cook dinner, Jiang Longtao tasted the sweetness at noon, and now he is reluctant to leave.
"Jiang Longtao, do you still want to stay here for dinner tonight?"
Jiang Li saw that this person was quite unconscious, if he didn't tell the truth, he probably wouldn't leave.
"Yeah, my parents haven't come back yet, and the food you cook is delicious, and I've been busy here all day, so you treat me as your long-term worker, can you take care of my meals at noon and night?"
Jiang Longtao looked at her with a smile on his face, saying that Jiang Li couldn't get angry even if he wanted to if he didn't hit the smiling face.
Before Jiang Li could speak, Jiang Longtao began to magnify his moves again. He rolled up his sleeves, only then did Jiang Li realize that his arms were glowing red from being caught.
At first, he thought that his hands would not itch when peeling the yam, but now it turns out that he has been enduring it all the time, and even scratching the itch is sneaky.
Jiang Li turned his head and scooped up an extra cup of rice silently.
Seeing this, Jiang Longtao laughed behind Jiang Li until his shoulders twitched.
It seems that talking to Jiang Li shouldn't be too forceful, it's better to show weakness to her occasionally and pretend to be pitiful.
But after a day of yam, my arms are really itchy!
Taking advantage of Jiang Li's inattention, Jiang Longtao quickly scratched his arm a few times.
He went outside and washed his hands with soap several times, and he always felt a faint itching deep in the skin, which was too uncomfortable.
It was not easy for Jiang Li to make money by making cakes. The two of them hired help in the middle of their work. It took two or three days to buy materials and make them.
Even if the fire is not on tonight, this pile of yam and glutinous rice cakes will have to be steamed overnight, and they will have to be packaged afterwards. There are more snakes and rats in rural areas, and it will be troublesome if they are stolen.
Jiang Li cooked the rice, Jiang Longtao was actually a little tired today, but he was reluctant to leave.
He also silently sat in the corner of the firewood pile and helped Jiang Li chop firewood. It was during this time that Zhang Guocai was weaving and making furniture at home and cut down a lot of trees and went down the mountain.
Those extra materials and twigs can just be used to make a fire.
Otherwise, if it is consumed like this, no amount of firewood piled up at home will be enough.
It seems that I have time to buy some firewood for Jiang Li's family.
Jiang Longtao didn't even bother to pick up the firewood in his own home. He had a way to make money, so naturally he wouldn't lose himself.
There are many children in the village who are willing to help others collect firewood for pocket money. Although Jiang Longtao usually fools around outside, he knows all kinds of situations of the people in the village very well.
Jiang Li cooked the meal, and Jiang Yi just came back.
As soon as he entered the house, he could smell the fragrance. After walking such a long mountain road, coupled with the grievance in his heart, Jiang Yi almost burst into tears when he saw his sister.
"Jiang Yi is back, wash your hands and eat."
Jiang Li warmly greeted him, and Jiang Yi hurriedly put down his schoolbag and went to the kitchen to help.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Longtao busy in the kitchen like a hostess.
Jiang Yi frowned, thinking how could this man be in their home?
And volunteered to help with work here, could it be my sister's suitor?
Jiang Yi stared at Jiang Longtao and looked again and again. Jiang Longtao had thoughts about Jiang Li, and also wanted to attack her younger brother Jiang Yi.
Doesn't it mean that encircling the city from the countryside is also effective in special times? Not only must he take the initiative to encircle the city, he must also grasp both hands and be tough!
Jiang Longtao also stared at Jiang Yi, and the two men just looked at each other from a distance.
