Chapter 509 Chatting with Classmates
After listening to Xiao Xianghe's narration, Jiang Dongping said: "I have put down these things, and now I am running a small business of my own."
Xiao Xianghe nodded and said: "Liang Xiaoqi has told everyone this. Cheng Shumin left in shame on the spot. He also said that he would no longer attend class reunions in their circle. Jing Zhaohui also left with him. You know what Cheng Shumin said
What does the circle mean?"
Jiang Dongping naturally knew that when he first entered college, his classmates were actually divided into two circles, one was a circle of students with good backgrounds and family backgrounds, and the other was a circle of helpless students from poor rural families.
Although Jiang Dongping's family is not poor, they are not wealthy either, and they actually come from the countryside.
In an era of material scarcity, family background is the most prominent label for everyone.
Those students with privileged backgrounds do not look down on poor families because they are poor and come from rural areas, but they look down on their lack of knowledge and the sourness in their bodies.
In the class back then, there was a privileged circle headed by Liang Xiaoqi, Wang Yuandao, Lu Linshan, and Shang Pingshu, and there was also a poor circle represented by Cheng Shumin, Jiang Dongping, Jing Zhaohui, Zhou Zhongzhao, Miao Hanqing, and Xiao Xianghe.
The two sides are very different from each other, and there is almost no contact in life. However, when it comes to study, the competition between the two sides is fierce and they cannot give in to each other.
In fact, if it had not been for the final graduation internship, Liang Xiaoqi would not have had the opportunity to get to know Jiang Dongping, let alone have a good impression of him.
Jiang Dongping didn't care at all about Liang Xiaoqi's organization of the party. He asked, "Don't I remember that you were assigned to the Xiangbei Compound?"
Xiao Xianghe said: "I worked in the compound for several years, and then I wanted to go back to my hometown of Enbu. I felt that I might be needed more there, so I have been working in Enbu since then."
Enbu is located in the western mountainous area of northern Hunan, and transportation is extremely inconvenient.
There will naturally be differences among classmates who graduate from the same school after more than ten years. Some people are at the top of the temple, and some are far away from the world.
Xiao Xianghe said again: "Dongping, Shumin and the others still care about you very much. Jing Zhaohui called me to tell me what happened this time. They actually want to get together with you, but they are afraid that they will give you something if they come to you rashly.
It brings trouble, but actually, I would say, there is no need to have those worries at all.”
As for Cheng Shumin asking Zhou Zhongzhao to take care of Jiang Dongping, Xiao Xianghe would naturally not say anything. She knew that these classmates in their circle were very strong when they were in school.
Xiao Xianghe hesitated to speak, why didn't Jiang Dongping understand what she meant? Cheng Shumin and the others were trying to take care of their own emotions.
Jiang Dongping said with a smile: "On November last year, the ribbon was cut at the Citizen Square in our county. I was the contractor of that project and was invited. Liang Xiaoqi also went and wanted to meet me by the way. In fact, I was on the podium at that time.
When I saw her back, I no longer dwelled on what happened back then. As for being dismissed from office, that is not important to me personally. People still have to move forward."
Jiang Dongping naturally didn't care about his dismissal, but when Zhang Jianqiu chose Xie Fukun later, Jiang Dongping still minded.
The foundation of the county supply and marketing cooperative may be destroyed at the hands of Xie Fukun, and Zhang Jianqiu cannot escape the blame.
Xiao Xianghe said: "Dongping, I'm very happy to hear you say that. Cheng Shumin told me that he and Jing Zhaohui wanted to find an opportunity to organize a gathering of our former classmates from other provinces and rural areas. They also said that the gathering would be organized
The location is Hanchang, I might as well set it on New Year’s Day next year, and let’s all arrange the things at hand in advance.”
Jiang Dongping thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll let you know when the time comes."
Jiang Dongping left his mobile phone number to Xiao Xianghe.
Xiao Xianghe said: "Okay, then you go about your business first, and I will go back to the ward first. I'll see you on New Year's Day."
Jiang Dongping said with a smile: "I will stay in Hanchang for a few more days. I will come to see you after you finish the operation."
Xiaochuan County No. 1 Middle School.
When we all had dinner together in the evening, we talked about the donations made during the day.
Jin Beibei said: "I heard from everyone in the dormitory at noon that our dormitory students generally donated a lot this time. Everyone felt sorry for Chen Yu."
Jiang Nan said: "Well, this incident also reminded us that big cars have blind spots. The driver may not have seen her at the time. We should not get too close to big cars in the future..."
Before Jiang Nan finished speaking, he heard a girl next to him say: "Jiang Nan, I heard that you and Hua Lianyue each donated one hundred for this donation. Aren't you the boss of Jiangnan Huayue? Why don't you do more, I
And you donated five hundred?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
The people in Jiangnan looked back and saw that it was Cheng Luoyao, with a dinner plate in her hand.
Li Muyan said: "Donation is a voluntary principle. How much we donate is our personal preference."
Cheng Luoyao glanced at Li Muyan and continued: "I forgot to mention you. Isn't your father Li Yunhong? You also donated one hundred. You three are really stingy. I despise you!"
After saying that, Cheng Luoyao left without looking back.
Wei Shanshan was stunned and said after a long time: "Did she forget to take her medicine?"
Jin Beibei also said: "I think she is seriously ill."
Jiang Nan said in confusion: "How does she know how much money we donated?"
Jin Beibei said sarcastically: "By the way, when I was eating in the cafeteria at noon, I heard some foreign students talking about you, oh, they only talked about Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue, because no one knew Li Muyan's identity, and some people said that you donated a little.
"Sir, I guess it was the classmates in our class who told me."
Hua Lianyue said: "Go ahead and talk about it, Jiangnan, what do you think?"
Jiang Nan smiled and said: "We can still explain it one by one."
After returning home in the evening, Jiang Nan called his father and asked about Chen Yu's situation.
Jiang Dongping said on the phone: "I asked Chen Yu's attending doctor. There is a treatment plan. Now we are looking at the recovery after the operation. I have paid her operation fee. I will see how Xiaochuan's donation arrives later.
, see how many gaps they still have, I will continue to help them."
Jiang Nan said: "Dad, how many more days will you stay in Hanchang?"
Jiang Dongping said: "It doesn't matter if I'm in Hanchang or not. Gao Yunfeng can come over and pay the fee. I've also left the phone number of the attending doctor, so he can call and ask about the situation. By the way, our store in Hanchang is already being renovated.
Tell your friends that everyone should pay attention to safety when going to and from school."
Chen Yu's father handled Chen Yu's matter properly, so Jiang Nan didn't ask any more questions.
On Friday, during the afternoon break, Hua Lianyue called Jiang Nan outside the classroom.
Hua Lianyue said: "Jiangnan, Liu Yuebai's bread and some pastries with a longer shelf life have been on the shelves in our Jiangnan Huayue for a few days. At noon, Zhou Caiyun told me that the sales were pretty good. Xiaobai Bakery should be able to
Survived."
Jiang Nan nodded and said, "Well, as long as it sells well, the food she makes tastes good. We don't have this kind of cake in various towns and villages, so it just fills the gap in the market."
Hua Lianyue said: "We have a shop assistant who asked if their cakes can be pre-ordered. Some customers ate their snacks and asked if they had birthday cakes. It would be best for Xiaobai Bakery to provide some photos for everyone to choose from. After all,
Nowadays, there are only a few kinds of cakes in rural cake shops, and they all taste the same."
Jiang Nan said: "Then let's go and have a look on Sunday. I've never seen Liu Yuebai's birthday cake."
Sunday.
Jiang Nan, Hua Lianyue, and Li Muyan and Lin Meijia went to the Little White Bakery in the New Hongqi Shopping Mall.
The business in the store was still not very good, and no one in Jiangnan saw Wu Anting, who was in charge of sales.
After entering the store, Jiangnan and the others discovered that Wu Anting had also gone to the production room to help.
Behind the transparent glass, Liu Yuebai and Wu Anting were both dressed in white. Liu Yuebai concentrated on filling the prepared dough into the mold, while Wu Anting was busy packaging the finished cake.
Hua Lianyue knocked on the glass gently, and then Liu Yuebai realized that several people from Jiangnan had arrived.
She motioned to the others to wait for a while, and she came out after finishing the tray.
After a while, Liu Yuebai took off her apron and gloves and came out.
She smiled and said to the people in Jiangnan: "Jiangnan, Hua Lianyue, since you Jiangnan Huayue got the goods from me, my business here has been much better. Even the business in the store is average now, and now Anting is also helping behind."
Me, I just happen to teach her more."
Hua Lianyue said: "If you are too busy, you can hire someone. It will be too hard just relying on the two of you."
Liu Yuebai said: "That's it for now. When things stabilize this month, I'll consider recruiting someone. By the way, I'll treat you to dinner at noon."
Jiang Nan waved his hand and said: "You are so busy, let's talk about it later. We are here to ask you today, do you make a birthday cake?"
Liu Yuebai said: "Birthday cakes are also made, but now I don't have samples in the store."
Jiangnan said: "Ask the clerk at our township store if they can accept reservations. They can help you collect the bill, and then you can make it and take it over in our car."
Liu Yuebai said: "This is okay, I didn't think of it before."
Jiang Nan said: "Then you take some time to take some photos of the cake. It's best to print a brochure or something and put it in our township store so that our clerks can introduce it to customers. By the way, you have to consider the situation of the township market.
Try to be as affordable as possible.”
In this era, a birthday cake in a township bakery generally costs between thirty and fifty yuan. It is too expensive and there is really no market for it.
Even at this price, the profit is considerable.
Hearing Jiang Nan talk about photos, Liu Yuebai thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to borrow a camera later."
Jiang Nan handed the camera he brought to Liu Yuebai and said, "I brought it to you. You can read the instructions yourself. The operation is not complicated."
Li Muyan said: "Liu Yuebai, I suggest you get creative with your birthday cake. If you don't have a good idea, you can go to the south of Ganxi and see what new styles others have."
Liu Yuebai's eyes lit up and she said, "Li Muyan, your suggestion is good. I will secretly take some photos of the cakes and come back to study them."
