Chapter 47 Autumn Tour Schedule To Be Determined

  Ever since we heard the rumors from Li Fang, the whole class has been in a somewhat inexplicable state of excitement, waiting for our head teacher to announce the specific time for our autumn outing. However, it's already Thursday and our head teacher still hasn't made any indication, so some of our classmates can't help but get impatient.

  After class in language and literature, a usually enthusiastic classmate ran to the head teacher's side and said: "Teacher, aren't we going on an autumn outing on Saturday? It seems like other classes have already been notified, why haven't you notified us yet?"

  The head teacher smiled and said, "I didn't inform you, but you would have known anyway. And as far as I know, no class teacher has informed you yet. I know you too well, once you know about the autumn outing, you can't sit still and listen to classes carefully. But this time it's really not that I didn't tell you, because this matter hasn't been confirmed yet. Don't you have classmates who pay attention to weather forecasts? It's said that there will be rain on Saturday and Sunday, so it's not certain yet. It's very likely that the autumn outing will be arranged after the mid-term exams."

  Most of the classmates in the classroom immediately deflated like a balloon when they heard this news. To know that after the mid-term exam, going on an autumn outing means that the results are already known, which is truly a joy for some families and a worry for others. For students who didn't do well, if their parents have good temperaments, they would use reason to teach them, but in our opinion, it's just scolding. If the parents have bad tempers, they need to be prepared to face a big scolding, and might even get punished by facing the wall, kneeling on the floor, or at worst, getting beaten with a belt.

  As soon as the teacher left, the classmates started discussing it. Some girls were complaining that the weather was too bad and it had to rain at this critical moment. The boys directly said: "The school is too much, every time they occupy our holiday time to take us out to play, this can be tolerated, but now they actually set the time after the mid-term exam, this is unbearable. I'm going to call the Education Bureau to report our school..."

  Hey, innocent kid, wake up! Schools and the Education Department have always had a symbiotic relationship, where one prospers or suffers together. What makes you think it's your turn to report this?

  Let me translate that for you:

  "By the way, when I was in high school, our school had summer make-up classes. Some classmates didn't agree and reported it, and even the local TV station came to investigate. But nothing happened, not even the principal's office door was opened, and our principal was safely sitting in his office with the air conditioner on. The school immediately investigated this matter and found out that it was a male student who did it. Luckily, that boy's father was a somewhat important official, so the matter was dropped. I heard that the boy's father often treated the principal to dinner."

  But I guess the boy who shouted that wouldn't dare make the call, I heard his dad is quite formidable, if he dared to make the call and his dad found out, he'd be in trouble.

  Take another look at Xuan Yuan, Wu Hanwen, Hou Jingya and the others. They're so calm, as if it doesn't matter when they take the exam. I'm a reborn, so I'm calm too. Thinking back to those years, I was also very resistant to exams followed by autumn outings. I can understand these dejected kids.

  Hurry up and reform, just like in 2012 when spring outings and autumn outings had designated times, that was social practice and also class, so we went during class time.

  Just when everyone thought there was nothing to look forward to, and it was time to review and listen carefully in class, the head teacher announced on Friday after two classes: "According to the latest weather forecast, tomorrow will be rainy, but today's weather is also good, so the school has decided to go on an autumn outing tomorrow. Everyone hurry home and prepare to bring something, pack up. Finally, remind students who get carsick to take motion sickness medicine and prepare vomit bags in advance, just in case. Of course, I will also carry motion sickness medicine and vomit bags with me, and students can come to me for them at that time. [悠*悠] Everyone, be careful on the road. Have a great weekend."

  After the teacher left, everyone was chattering excitedly, just like a heart that had sunk to the bottom of a valley suddenly flew to the top of a Ferris wheel. Some mischievous boys even stood on their chairs and shouted: "Great! Great! Too good!"

  Xiao Xiao asked me to go to the supermarket together at night. After dinner, I met with my cousin Xiao Xiao at the entrance of Yong'an Department Store. Looking at the neon lights flashing under Yong'an Department Store, it's really bustling and extraordinary. Compared to 2012, it's like heaven and earth. Now it's brightly lit, while in 2012 it was transformed into JINBEI large specialty store.

  But now, our district only has such a large supermarket, with sufficient supply of goods, good service and not expensive prices, who can resist these temptations? However, after a few more years, it will be different. Suguo is getting bigger and stronger, almost all domestic supermarkets are not its opponents, even some foreign supermarkets have been boycotted repeatedly due to intensified national contradictions, the slogan of supporting domestic goods is not shouted in vain.

  However, I once heard my dad say that the owner of Yong'an Department Store was a Mr. Hou, and the reason why it got worse and worse was related to his family problems. It's said that the boss's wife only gave birth to a daughter, who seemed to be born with poor health. With wealth comes temptation, and he had an affair outside and had a son. The son gambled and owed debts, so the boss had no choice but to sell the land of Yong'an Department Store to pay off the debt.

  Xiao Xiao ran in front of me, waved her hand, and I didn't react. Then she said loudly: "What are you thinking? A big living person like me was ignored by you."

  I was stunned, huh? What was I thinking? Got off the topic. But who knows if this is really off the topic or not? I forced a smile and said: "Who dares to ignore our Miss Wang? Wasn't I thinking of us going in to buy something?"

  "What's there to think about? We'll know once we go in. Come on, let's go!"

  Xiao Xiao pulled me by the hand and ran in, I turned back and said: "Brother, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up with us, Xiao Xiao is very fast in the supermarket."

  "Your sister's expression was nonchalant, saying: "You girls love to eat things that I don't like to eat, you guys go ahead, we'll meet at the counter to settle the bill later."

  "Oh dear, let's go first, I'm really sorry, every time we neglect you, next time we'll find another brother to join us, then it will be two against two."

  "Hehe, what's the point of being angry with your brother? I'm more comfortable on my own, buying whatever I want. Hurry up, Xiaoxiao is already getting impatient."

  I and Xiao Xiao rushed to the puffed food area, Xiao Xiao piled up a bunch of puffed foods, such as charcoal-flavored crispy corners, original flavor potato chips, and superior potato sticks. I couldn't persuade her, she said she wanted to eat enough in one go.

  Later we went to buy Haagen-Dazs ice cream and Dove chocolate. Hehe, these two are my shared favorites with him.

  Looking at the full shopping cart, I suddenly thought that my favorite five-spice beef was not there yet, so I asked Xiao to accompany me to take a look over there.

  I pushed my cart and arrived at the place selling beef, although there weren't as many varieties as later on, but they were still divided into several flavors and brands. After much difficulty, I finally found the usual brand I liked, Yuanyuan, just as I was about to scoop some up, someone else scooped it away. I looked up to see that it was Wu Hanwen. I smiled and said: "Bao Bing, you're also buying five-spice beef? The one in your hand isn't very tasty, really, ordinary people don't like eating it." In my heart, I thought: Sorry, Yuanyuan, in order to eat you, I directly said you didn't taste good.

  Wu Hanwen waved the Wu Yuan five-spice beef in his hand and said, "Is that so? But I'm not from Class A, I'm from Class B. Hehe, I'm used to eating this."

  My brother said, "What a coincidence! My sister also likes to eat this brand, and she doesn't eat any other brands. Everyone likes to eat it." Brother, do you want to say that many people like to eat it?

  "Now there's only one bag left, forget it, I'll give it to you. After all, we have to take care of the girls a bit."

  I was hesitant to grab it, I just wanted to trick others earlier, but unexpectedly they didn't want to fight with me for it. My older cousin suddenly walked over and put it into my shopping cart.

  I shifted my gaze and said, "Brother, how did you end up here too?" "Me? I ran into Hanwen over there and we decided to take a stroll together. Didn't expect to run into you guys here, but all I saw was your eyes fixed on the various five-spice beef dishes, looking like you were searching for something. Who would have noticed that we were standing here before you?"

  "Oh no, I didn't mean to, so where are you guys going next?"

  "Go pay the bill, you see there are still not enough things in your shopping cart, the bag can't hold them all."

  We paid the bill together and then went home separately.
