If possible, please put the books back on the shelves. It will be convenient for you and supportive to me. Thank you!
In front, Feng Yiping walked quickly, feeling relieved, "Phew, I managed to get away with it!"
He had appeared quite relaxed just now, but in fact, he was very nervous inside. He didn't know how the teachers would handle the situation. Even if they couldn't punish them this time, as long as you were in school, they would find a way to catch you!
As for his parents, he was sure they wouldn't care about any minor protection laws. If their son did something like this at such a young age, they would beat him to death.
The barber shop had made a mistake in direction. They didn't even need to call the teachers. If they just brought an adult man to stand by, Feng Hongbing and the others would have no choice but to raise the money. The whole village wouldn't get involved in a minor issue caused by a child.
Feng Yiping's clear understanding of the "Protection of Minors Law" was due to an incident in 2013 in a major city in southwestern China. A twelve-year-old girl brutally beat a one-year-old baby in an elevator and then threw the baby from the 25th floor, yet she wasn't held criminally responsible. He had searched for and read the "Protection of Minors Law" several times after that.
Actually, Feng Yiping and Feng Hongbing's relationship was just average, mainly because their families' relationships were also average.
Although they lived in the same village and had been neighbors for years, their families' relationships were just average. It was easy to understand: one family was among the best-off in the village, often lending money to others, while Feng Yiping's family had to borrow money every year. This naturally made them less close.
Because they lived close to each other, when there was an emergency, such as suddenly learning that a relative needed a gift, and they had no money, Mei Qiuping had asked them for a few yuan a few times, but mostly they couldn't borrow it.
Moreover, regardless of whether their family helped or not, Feng Hongbing's mother always spread gossip, like "They always come to us when they have problems, but we're not a bank." "They always need to borrow money when they have problems, and who knows how they'll pay it back."
In the same village, these rumors would quickly reach Mei Qiuping's ears, making her very angry. So as soon as she had money, she would pay back what she owed them. Later, even when she was in trouble, she never asked them for help again.
So, although the two families saw each other every day, their relationship was just that.
However, no matter what, today's incident was something Feng Yiping couldn't ignore. After being reborn, he had always held himself to adult standards.
The debate in the afternoon was quite exhausting, and Feng Yiping ate two more taels of rice for dinner.
Not long after dinner, the people showing the movie arrived at the school and set up a white screen between the two sycamore trees. Then, the life teacher and three cafeteria workers burned some herbs in the corners of the playground to drive away mosquitoes.
As soon as it got dark, the movie started. Everyone sat in their class order, and some people from the surrounding villages also came with chairs.
There were two movies: "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" first, followed by "Tunnel Warfare." Both were old classics. Although many of the actors' performances still had a stage play style, such as the scene in "Tunnel Warfare" where the old village chief rings the bell under a tree after discovering the sneaking Japanese soldiers, it was a classic stage performance.
However, overall, they were very exciting.
Moreover, even though they were war movies, both had some classic funny scenes and lines.
Years later, the popular internet phrase, "Don't think you're having fun now, be careful when the bill comes," originally came from this movie. It was what Zhang Ga said to the puppet soldier when he was captured by the Japanese.
In "Tunnel Warfare," Commander Tang always raised his thumb and said, "High, really high!" which was often imitated.
Thus, under the bright moonlight, the playground was filled with laughter from time to time.
In short, these two war movies were not as heavy as "Jiao Yulu" in the morning.
After the two movies ended, it was almost time to turn off the lights. Unlike the usual post-study session, when everyone was listless, many people were now very excited and eager to discuss the movies. On the way from the classroom to the dormitory, everyone was talking about the movies.
At this moment, Xiao Zhijie excitedly pulled Feng Yiping aside. When they were the last ones, he whispered excitedly that he had finally held Zhang Qiuling's hand during the movie!
Xiao Zhijie was so excited that he tossed and turned in bed like a fish out of water all night.
Even at lunch the next day, Xiao Zhijie was still grinning foolishly. Wang Changning, not knowing what was going on, was secretly despised by Feng Yiping, "It's just holding your deskmate's hand, and you're so happy! When you get married and spend the night with your wife, you'll probably have a heart attack!"
Saying that, he recalled when he first properly held a girl's hand, excluding various accidents. It was actually a few years after he started working! This made him even more annoyed with Xiao Zhijie's smugness.
Wang Changning finally found out what happened and asked a crucial question, "Have you washed your hands since last night?"
Xiao Zhijie, who was still happy, was momentarily stunned. He looked a bit guilty, but still stuck out his neck and said, "Why ask that? Of course, I washed them."
From his expression, it was clear that he hadn't washed his hands. "Ew!" the two of them pretended to be disgusted.
Xiao Zhijie didn't care and said, "Do you know how it felt? Soft, gentle, and warm."
Wang Changning was a bit envious and looked forward to it, while Feng Yiping really didn't want to hear more, "Okay, okay, it's a big deal, a great event. So, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Wang Changning smoothly continued, "Such a great event should be celebrated, right?"
Xiao Zhijie looked at the two of them, knowing he couldn't avoid it, and nodded resignedly. He finished his rice in a few bites and handed the empty bowl to Feng Yiping, "But you have to wash the dishes for me."
Feng Yiping didn't bother to argue. Was he planning to not wash his hands for days?
After washing the dishes, Wang Changning put his arm around Xiao Zhijie, pretending to discuss what to buy for lunch. Feng Yiping handed him the clean bowl. As Xiao Zhijie reached out to take it, Feng Yiping quickly poured the water from his bowl into Xiao Zhijie's hand.
Xiao Zhijie realized he had been tricked, broke free from Wang Changning, and scooped up the remaining water in his bowl to pour it on the two laughing and running away, "I'll teach you to bully an honest person!"
For lunch, they bought sunflower seeds. Xiao Zhijie shared half with them and kept the rest in his pocket, clearly to share with Zhang Qiuling. This naturally earned him more disdain.
Of course, they couldn't let him off so easily. So, after dinner, under the guise of a confidentiality fee, Xiao Zhijie was forced to buy a pack of cookies. After buying them, he was quite straightforward, pulling out his pockets, "You don't need to find an excuse, it won't work. Look, I have no money now, but I know there's a big rich guy," he said, looking at Feng Yiping with ill intent.
Wang Changning, with his mouth full of cookies, said, "Feng Yiping is different from you. He's very conscientious and doesn't need us to find an excuse, right, Yiping?"
What could Feng Yiping say?
To say they were really hungry and had good appetites! It was the hottest time of the year, and many people had no appetite, even for the finest delicacies. They were different, eating four taels of rice with pickles at each meal, and still feeling only half full.
For this reason, moving out to live was also necessary.
