Chapter 35 - 35 35 Welcome Enthusiasts to Visit and Guide

35: Chapter 35 Welcome Enthusiasts to Visit and Guide 35: Chapter 35 Welcome Enthusiasts to Visit and Guide Nurse Liu didn’t lie, and the very next day the homeroom teacher announced the news that a group of enthusiastic members of society were planning to visit Qinghe Middle School.

It wasn’t specified who these enthusiastic members of society were, but the focus was on organizing students from each class to carry out a school-wide cleaning operation.

Although the homeroom teacher didn’t name names, he specifically reminded certain people that for the next two days they should be careful with their words and actions, behave appropriately, not skip classes, not fight, and not leave any negative impressions on the visitors.

Youtiao raised his hand and asked the homeroom teacher, what if Chen Yan hasn’t come back?

The homeroom teacher glared with his tiger eyes, you just need to mind your own business!

As the class president and top student, there are always privileges.

In his previous life when Wang Yunxiao was studying, as long as you could maintain top ten in the year group at school, the teachers would turn a blind eye even if you were dating.

It was just a matter of Chen Yan skipping class for two days.

For the whole morning, Youtiao endlessly twirled his pen.

The pen barrel was nearly broken by his flipping.

Unable to hold back, Wang Yunxiao quietly asked him, “Why don’t you go to her house to see what’s going on?”

“I’m not going to impose my hot face on her cold ass!”

Youtiao was stubborn in his refusal.

There were no classes in the afternoon, just a school-wide cleaning, and Wang Yunxiao and his group were assigned to clear out the dormitory trash.

Little Gourd tiptoed over, but was stopped by Youtiao with a raised hand, “What’s up?”

Little Gourd glanced at Wang Yunxiao who was sweeping in the distance and whispered, “Sister Chen Yan still hasn’t come back, I was thinking of going over to her house to check.”

Youtiao was unmoved, “If you want to go, then go.

Why are you looking for Brother Wang?”

Little Gourd’s mouth deflated after being scolded, sulkily saying, “I’m just letting Brother Wang know…”

“Brother Wang thinks of you when he has tasty things, and you want to drag him into trouble when you’re looking for it yourself?”

Youtiao flicked her on the forehead, annoyed, “If you tell Brother Wang, would he not accompany you?

If Brother Wang goes, do we go or not?

Chen Yan is neither kith nor kin to us, what business is it of ours to get involved?

Can you figure out who actually is closer to you?”

“That’s not what I meant!”

Little Gourd complained, feeling wronged, “I just wanted to go over and take a look, keep scolding me and I won’t speak well of you ever again.”

“Thanks, but no thanks!”

Wang Yunxiao came over, put down his broom and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“Nothing!”

Youtiao and Little Gourd shook their heads together.

Little Gourd, with her hands clasped behind her back, forced a laugh, “I’m just worried you guys will do a slapdash job at cleaning, and then the homeroom teacher will scold you guys if he finds any issues.”

Wang Yunxiao didn’t reply, just stared silently at the two, who suddenly felt guilty.

“Grown some wings, have you?

Learned how to fool me, huh?”

“No!”

Little Gourd shook her head desperately, with a chuckle, “Just craving some pork fat mixed with rice.”

“Then eat, what’s there to be shy about?”

Wang Yunxiao was no longer who he used to be.

He now had five taels of Silver and an additional two and a half of Colorful Banknote in his hand—not just enough for pork fat, but even pork knuckles.

“You go tell everyone that we’re going to Chen Yan’s house for dinner tonight, and call Loach and Dumpling over as well…”

Youtiao moved his lips as if to speak, but ultimately, he remained silent.

Wang Yunxiao could understand his concerns.

Initially, the group had come together not because of any sense of brotherhood in the Jianghu World, but purely out of necessity.

An eleven or twelve-year-old orphan had no way to survive alone on the streets; they had to band together to keep warm.

Little Gourd was the only girl among them, not because the Heavens discriminated against gender, choosing only boys to suffer misfortune in their families.

The only reason was that her face was scarred, making her undesirable to others.

As the leader of this small community, it was Wang Yunxiao’s role to make decisions and establish authority.

And as the second-in-command at the Quartermaster, Youtiao’s primary consideration was the collective interest of his group.

If the leader gave an instruction, he would definitely support it fully.

But before Wang Yunxiao had spoken, he would definitely not take the initiative to help Chen Yan, nor would he suggest such an idea to Wang Yunxiao on his own initiative.

This guy’s mind was so clear that he would surely achieve great things in the future.

When Loach and Dumpling arrived, Wang Yunxiao directly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over, “Buy some food, and prepare something delicious.

We’ll go to Chen Yan’s house tonight.”

When he had first arrived, Wang Yunxiao didn’t understand the situation of his brothers well, but as time passed, he learned that these two were in charge of providing food back at home.

Loach had wild ways, while Dumpling was good with his hands.

Dumpling was the only one among them who knew how to make dumplings.

Usually, when idling around, he would mutter about nothing being as delicious as dumplings, so everyone simply started calling him Dumpling.

His family didn’t run a restaurant; it was just that he especially liked to study food.

According to Youtiao, this kid was as round as a ball when he was a child, eating anything he saw.

His parents almost wished they could put a muzzle on him, fearing he’d get the idea to gnaw on tree bark.

The two exchanged glances, and Loach couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Wang, it’s not even a holiday, should we not save a bit of money?”

The last time they had hurriedly eaten a meal with lard mixed with rice, they thought they would need to make it last a month, but now, after barely two days, Brother Wang wanted to provide another meal.

Was life getting too tough?

Wang Yunxiao, with his bold and unconcerned talent, waved his hand nonchalantly, “Eat when we should eat, and drink when we should drink.

Don’t take things too seriously.

We all have hands and feet, aren’t we afraid we’ll have no income?”

Third Master Ding’s business was booming, a clear sign of his wealth.

Having money and not staying low-key, he meddled daily with these dirty tricks unfit for public view.

Let’s hope that when he gets played by others in the future, he doesn’t become too unbalanced mentally.

At seven o’clock in the evening, they also had to attend class with Nurse Liu, so time was a bit tight.

However, tempted by the promise of a wonderful dinner, everyone was highly motivated, significantly increasing their work efficiency.

For the boys’ dormitory, as long as it was passable, that was enough.

What else could you expect it to be, spotless?

A dust-free windowsill and floor?

What, are you planning to cultivate yourself to govern the family, the country, and bring peace to the world?

The headteacher didn’t allow them to skip classes or school, but that was tomorrow’s concern and had nothing to do with today.

Wang Yunxiao led his brothers and walked straight out the main gate of the school, leaving openly and rightfully.

When they arrived at Chen Yan’s house, they saw that Loach and Dumpling had already come early.

Unlike Brother Wang who had just crossed over and knew nothing about the market prices, these two were the real professionals.

Loach brought over a basin full of crabs, assorted fish, clams, and a jar of shrimp paste.

These seafood items are cheapest if you buy them by the river, almost as if they were free.

Of course, the prerequisite is knowing the right people.

Wang Yunxiao once heard an internet joke that in the past, during a famine, some people unable to afford rice and flour had to survive on crab meat.

In fact, it was not even a joke.

Seafood is inherently difficult to store and not necessarily guaranteed to sell once caught.

Small fish the size of fingers and crabs the size of chess pieces would rot within two hours of being caught.

In those days, scallions, ginger, and cooking wine were also valuable commodities.

Without them to remove the fishy smell, it was hard to eat, and even the fishermen despised it.
