Chapter 7.2 – The Principal Announces the Cancellation of the Prince Increase (2)

❥❥❥

After school, Nan Xiangwan repeatedly urged Jiang Daling to be careful when she returned to the dormitory to hand out flyers. It was best to wear a hat and a mask so she won’t get caught.

Lin Xiaoran, on the side, interrupted at this moment. “If you’re not at ease, I will accompany her.”

Nan Xiangwan glanced at him, “Do you want to accompany her? Don’t you just want to go to the girls’ dormitory?”

As soon as she finished talking, the people in front and back laughed together.

Nan Xiangwan was still uneasy. She decided to go with Jiang Daling, if something happened, she could take care of her.

There are two dormitory buildings in the No.3 Middle School. They are located in the innermost part of the school. Because of the limited number of beds, it was impossible for everyone to live on campus.

On this day, Nan Xiangwan clearly felt the atmosphere in the school was unusual. Perhaps the previous propaganda had worked. Everywhere she went, everyone was talking about the same things.

Some people say that the food in the canteen is so bad and expensive, wondering if the canteen owner is a relative of the principal. Someone is asking where the flyer came from, whether it was from the student union. Others suggested buying some instant noodles and bread to prepare to fight the canteen to the end.

“Look!” Jiang Daling suddenly pulled Nan Xiangwan’s arm.

Nan Xiangwan followed her gaze and saw there was a piece of paper on the wall. The content on it was quite familiar. She didn’t know who printed out the invitation letter they sent to the principal to eat in the canteen and posted it on the wall of the girl’s dormitory.

Nan Xiangwan even felt they no longer needed to distribute flyers. She visited Jiang Daling’s dormitory for a while and was about to go home. When she walked out of the girls’ dormitory, she suddenly thought of something, and then went upstairs again.

Don’t know if there is food in Jiang Daling’s dormitory, should she bring some for her?

Nan Xiangwan came to the door of a dormitory based on memory. She raised her hand to knock on the door but heard the voice of a man talking inside.

Did she get it wrong?

No! This is a girls’ dormitory. It is impossible to have boys here even if she went wrong.

The hand that stopped in front of the door slowly dropped. Nan Xiangwan hesitated for a long time and decided not to knock. Anyway, there’s still one day before Wednesday, so ask tomorrow in class.

Wednesday came quickly. According to the plan, Nan Xiangwan, Jiang Daling, Zhang Chao, and Li Shuai gathered at the entrance of the canteen early. Lin Xiaoran will come later because he is going to the sports team to practice.

In the early spring, the weather was warm at day and cold at night. Nan Xiangwan dressed a little, she’s shivering in the early morning.

In order to avoid being too eye-catching, the four assigned tasks. Two boys guarded the door of the cafeteria, and two girls guarded their breakfast in the small woods not far from the canteen. When the boys meet someone who is going to the canteen for breakfast, they will take them to the girl’s side.

Anyway, they was idle. Nan Xiangwan and Jiang Daling took out the buns and ate them slowly.

Xiaonanshan’s buns are very special. There seem to be some herbs in the stuffing, it has a light fragrance. After eating the buns, Nan Xiangwan warmed her hands with soy milk, stretched her neck and looked at the cafeteria entrance.

To be honest, even at this point, she is still skeptical about the success of this event.

In her opinion, the students in the school are discussing this matter enthusiastically on the surface, but in fact, they may not actually participate in it. Maybe they are still secretly sarcasm to the people who are proposing this event. Even if they are really dissatisfied with the price increase in the canteen, it’s not easy to get them to take practical action. Who is not afraid of getting into trouble?

The only thing to be thankful for is that they will watch but they will not come forward to stop them. After all, letting others go into the battle, if they were successful, they would also benefit. If they weren’t, they will not be involved.

Thinking of this, Nan Xiangwan sighed. Lin Xiaoran and the others were still too naive.

Nan Xiangwan waited for a while but no one came. She was so bored that she took out a notebook and started memorizing knowledge points. After she had memorized the content that was about to be memorized twice, she realized something was wrong. Twenty minutes passed and no one came!

She checked the calendar, made sure that today was not the weekend.

She looked at the watch again and again to make sure there was no problem with the time. Class will start in ten minutes. Will no one come?

Just as shocked as Nan Xiangwan was the auntie in the canteen. Those people who tremble from time to time with a large spoon in their hands often get headaches unconsciously when they think of a mealtime. The bell is not only a horn for the students to charge but also a sign that the canteen aunts have entered a state of preparation. They will begin to count down at this time, usually can’t even count to ten, students like zombies will come from all directions, quickly occupy the empty dining hall, surrounded the weak and helpless aunts. They want this for this, that for that, and the tedious requirements are overwhelming.

Zombies, oh no, it’s the students who come and go fast. It won’t take long for these people to disappear without a trace. If it weren’t for the dishes to be washed and the plastic cup to be clean up, you may even feel that nothing actually happened.

Now, the canteen aunts are really confused. Is the class still not over? But it’s morning…

Suddenly, everyone vaguely saw someone coming here. That person was tall and has long legs, wearing sportswear, his face flushed and sweaty. He seemed to be trotting all the way.

Right, this is the correct posture to rush to the canteen.

Everyone looked expectant and waited for him to run into the canteen, but who knew he stopped at the entrance.

“How is it?” Lin Xiaoran rushed here as soon as the sports team dismissed. “I told my teammates, no one is allowed to come. I will break someone’s leg if anyone dares to come.”

“Don’t.” Zhang Chao shouted, “Hurry up and call them, we won’t be able to finish the breakfast we buy.”

Lin Xiaoran looked in the direction of his fingers. Nan Xiangwan and Jiang Daling were squatting in the woods, eating buns like a squirrel.

Nan Xiangwan couldn’t remember how many buns she ate. She has been away from home for so many years but has been thinking about Xiaonanshan’s buns. Now, let her eat enough. Nan Xiangwan thought, she probably won’t eat buns for a long time in the future.

Lin Xiaoran saw their embarrassment and guessed what happened. He held back a smile and turned back to call his teammate.

The fact that no one came to eat in the canteen finally alarmed the owner of the canteen. The food in the canteen has been in short supply. The students will not be able to eat anything as long as they are late, so he doesn’t think about improving the quality of the dishes, because as long as they can eat, it must be sold, but now…

If no one comes, all the prepared food may have to be thrown away.

The canteen owner stood at the entrance of the canteen with his arms folded, his face pale.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened. Not far away, a group of strong boys and girls were running towards this side. Although the number of people is smaller, it is good to reduce losses. Unexpectedly, his breath hadn’t come out yet, the students who had reached the entrance of the canteen turned a corner in front of him and headed towards the woods.

The physical education students were born tall. They consumed too much physical energy when practices, so they were not polite when they eat. In a while, the two boxes of food were quickly divided.

Nan Xiangwan looked stunned at the side. She was even annoyed that she had eaten too many buns. She knew she should keep some for them.

Lin Xiaoran’s teammates were busy eating bread and buns, but they did not forget to praise them.

“You are so amazing, you did what we wanted to do but didn’t dare to.”

“If you say don’t go to the canteen, I won’t go to the canteen. Don’t worry, I have prepared instant noodles for three days.”

“That is, annoyed the canteen owner.”

Before he finished talking, a middle-aged man’s grumpy voice suddenly came from behind him. “What are you doing?”

The canteen owner followed the trail. He saw the foam box on the ground and asked, “Who allows you to sell food in the school?” There is no supermarket or food stall in the school, you can only buy food in the canteen. This is why he has stood firm for so many years.

Zhang Chao poked his head out from the crowd, “Don’t talk nonsense. This is for classmates to try, not to sell.”

“Yes, you think they all look like you.”

“Only care about profit.”

“Black-hearted businessman, bah!” the others tweeted.

The canteen owner was immediately irritated, “Who said that? Stand up! No one came to eat today, is it your doing? I will kill you!”

The canteen owner rolled his sleeves and was about to rush over, a voice suddenly sounded, “What are you doing? Are you going to beat students?”

Everyone followed the voice and said in unison, “Principal!”

Although there is an invitation letter for the principal to eat in the canteen everywhere on the Internet, their original intention was to express their indignation through the invitation letter and calling on the students to join the event. They had no illusions about whether the principal would be invited to come. They didn’t expect the principal would actually come.

Because the class was about to start, they just heard about the things later.

They heard that the principal really walked into the canteen and went around, bought porridge, steamed buns and some side dishes. He found that the problem the students said did exist. Pumpkin pie with peanuts and raisins doubled the price. Millet porridge for one dollar only occupies two rows, and it will no longer be served after it is sold out. Other schools are full of three pieces of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. There are only high-priced drinks in the beverage area, not even a cheap pure water.

He remembered his school career. Compared with the days when he ate wild vegetables and dig potatoes in the mountains, the school cafeteria was a paradise. Now the material life is rich, how could you eat worse? The principal immediately asked the canteen owner to make dishes in accordance with the promise made when he participated in the bidding and restore the prices of the dishes.

The news was announced in the headteacher’s English class. As soon as the voice fell, the whole class suddenly wailed, some people burst into tears with excitement.

Seeing this scene, the headteacher standing on the podium couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, “You guys didn’t do this thing, right?”

Nan Xiangwan looked at Lin Xiaoran, Lin Xiaoran looked at Zhang Chao, the few exchanged their looks, they smiled at each other knowingly, and no one spoke.

After school was over at noon, the nightmare of the canteen aunts came again. This time, the enthusiasm of the students was a hundred times higher than before, because everyone wanted to see if the canteen really restored the price as the principal said.

Nan Xiangwan also followed Lin Xiaoran and the others to join in the fun. As soon as she walked in, she saw the students of the Rocket Class eating. Rocket class students have the supreme privilege in the No.3 Middle School. In order to ensure they can eat well and get full, they will get out of class 15 minutes earlier than other classes and stagger the dining peak in the canteen.

There seemed to be some of them who didn’t know what happened, looking at the happy crowd with a blank expression. At the same time, Nan Xiangwan’s heart was shaken, as if something hit her heart.
