No. 9 and 10 Shifan Road are two small stores that Lu Ming bought and opened up. Today, the first floor is a small store, which can also be said to be a grocery store. It sells everything from firewood, rice, oil and salt to student supplies, comic books, etc.
After entering the store, there are glass counters on the left, right and in front. There are various products in the counters, and there are also miscellaneous goods on the shelves behind the counters.
The two female shop assistants, Qing'e 21 and 22, wearing blue jackets, black trousers and cloth shoes, are two tall and thick-looking tomboys.
Lu Ming was walking around the store with a beautiful young woman wearing a blue and white floral dress.
The beautiful young woman's surname is Ni. She is the class teacher of Lu Ming's class. She has just started working. She is an officer of the school's student aid committee and serves as a counselor for several freshmen classes. Her main job is to guide the freshmen to adapt to school life.
Lu Ming went to class for the first time this morning, and was caught by Officer Ni, who had a long talk with Lu Ming.
The school attaches great importance to Lu Ming, a student from the East China Sea. Although it was reported before the school started, there was no news for nearly two months. On the first day of school, he called and asked for sick leave. He also used the contact information filled in the enrollment report.
Without him, the school held several meetings with Director Ni to urge the student to be found. Now that she was finally caught, she immediately stopped him. She must find out what was going on and asked Lu Ming if he had encountered any difficulties.
I am still dissatisfied with this school and want to drop out and apply to another school next year.
Because not to mention Zhenjiang Normal School, but also universities in various places, except for the top few, few Donghai students are willing to apply for admission from other places.
The northern states and provinces should not even think about having students from the East China Sea.
Now Zhenjiang Normal School has a student from Donghai enrolled in the school, and he has naturally become a treasure.
One can imagine the importance the school attaches to it.
Lu Ming said that he is weak and may not be able to go to class every day, but he will definitely go if he can and he will not fail in the final exam.
Seeing that Lu Ming didn't want to drop out of school, Director Ni was relieved, but he still insisted on coming to see Lu Ming's living environment, saying that she could help solve any problems he had.
Lu Ming was originally worried that he would be on the verge of being expelled, but this was a relief.
But Director Ni was too enthusiastic and couldn't push her away, so he had no choice but to take her to this residence at No. 9 Shifan Road.
"Your family bought this place, and your family also runs the store?"
Seeing Lu Ming nod, the look on Ms. Ni's face was obviously that of someone from the East China Sea who is really rich.
The store prices on Shifan Road are still very high, with each two-story shop costing about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. This student, Lu, did not come to Zhenjiang to study, so his family bought two shops.
"It's so close, so if you can go, you'd better go to class as much as possible. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with self-study."
As Director Ni spoke, he felt relieved. He had already bought a shop here and seemed to have no intention of dropping out.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Ni." Lu Ming nodded quickly.
"Don't call me teacher. I'm not qualified to be your teacher or life counselor, just like your big sister." Director Ni smiled and said, "It's noon, I'll treat you to dinner." He sighed again.
: "My father also mentioned you and asked me to take good care of you. You were not introduced by his friend. Do you want to learn Oracle knowledge from him?"
Lu Ming had some suspicions in his mind, because the surname Ni was not very common, and the oracle bone inscription scholar also had the surname Ni.
"It turns out that you are Professor Ni's daughter. I should have paid a visit to Professor Ni as soon as possible. Otherwise, would Professor Ni be at home tonight?"
Director Ni sighed softly, "It will take some time. He is in the hospital and is very ill. He was admitted a month ago. Before he entered the hospital, he told me about you."
Lu Ming was startled. Is he seriously ill?
Director Ni shook his head, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's go. I'll treat you to a meal. Turn a corner, there are several snack bars at the east gate of the school that are very good. They are very popular among students. They serve local specialties.
"
"Okay!" Lu Ming said again, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
…
Officer Ni brought Lu Ming to a snack bar called "Liu Ji Mutton Soup".
Facing the east gate of the school, the shops here are a row of tin houses, which are completely incomparable with the two-story shopping malls on Normal Road, the main entrance of the school.
But there are a lot of students, and most of the tin houses are snack bars, some sell trinkets, and there are 2 branches.
The five or six tables in Liu Ji Yangtang were all filled with students, but then a young man stood up to say hello to Director Ni.
Officer Ni smiled and said: "What a coincidence, Lu Ming, your class monitor is here!"
He pulled Lu Ming over and squeezed to sit down. At first, the students were a little restrained, but seeing that Teacher Ni had no airs, his thinking was similar to theirs, and he also liked to joke, the atmosphere soon became warm.
Lu Ming didn't say much. He ordered mutton soup and tasted it slowly.
Zhenjiang people love to drink haggis soup, which has a sour and spicy taste.
However, Lu Ming didn't like to eat intestines, lungs and the like in the water, so he ordered pure mutton soup with pepper, chili oil and vinegar, which tasted almost the same as in his previous life.
In Donghai, you really can’t drink mutton soup. Nowadays, it feels a little friendly.
"Xiao Shuai, why don't you want haggis? Haggis are more nutritious than mutton!"
A little fat man said this three times in a row. It wasn't until someone touched Lu Ming's arm that Lu Ming realized that he was talking to him.
"Yes, I'm calling you!" The little fat man chuckled, "You are the most handsome here. If I don't call you handsome, what would I call you? Before you came here, the most handsome man was the squad leader, and he was called handsome!"
"No, no, Xiaoshuai doesn't sound good. You should be called Young Marshal. Judging from your dressing, you are almost the same as those young marshals in the northern newspapers!"
Obviously, the little fat man likes to give others nicknames.
And it is true that Lu Ming obviously dresses differently from them. Most of them wear cloth clothes and trousers, and some even wear sleeve patches, etc. Lu Ming's fabric is very different. It looks like an ordinary jacket style.
, but the fabric seems to be silky and smooth, and the parts such as the collar that should be straight are also straight, which also makes his whole person have a different temperament from his classmates at the same table.
In fact, they have just entered the first grade of technical secondary school, and some of them have graduated from high school. Most students still have no concept of social class, especially those from civilian families. On the contrary, poor students become sensible earlier and are exposed to society earlier.
Lu Ming looked at the little fat man and smiled, but said nothing.
In fact, I was still thinking about Professor Ni's serious illness.
Naturally, the purpose of going upstairs just now was not just to change clothes, but also to ask Liuli to send someone to check on Professor Ni's condition.
In Liuli's Qing'e, there are people with various skills, and there is also a master of poison, who also has some research on pathology.
Lu Ming vaguely felt that there was something fishy about Professor Ni's sudden serious illness.
"Lu Ming, why haven't you come to school?" The person who asked the question was the monitor, a very handsome young man. He was also very fashionably dressed in a three-piece suit and vest. He didn't dress like a student, talk, etc., listen.
He also has great organizational skills and is already a leader among several classmates.
However, Lu Ming could tell at a glance that his very fashionable clothes were from street stalls. He was usually surrounded by good things, but cheap fabrics looked very eye-catching.
"I'm not in good health." Lu Ming smiled at the young man.
Putting down the spoon, "Okay, you guys eat, I'm going back to take medicine!" He said to Director Ni, "Teacher, I'm back!"
