Chapter 317 Vest Explosion
Around six o'clock in the evening, several male waiters were busy in the empty small square in front of the dining area.
First a layer of gravel was laid on the ground, and then a pile of hay and wood chips was placed in the middle.
Surrounding the pile of hay and wood chips in the center, they took out pieces of hard wood as thick as an average adult's calf and built a bonfire frame about one person tall.
The students from Class 8 gathered around and watched curiously.
Although the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School had a New Year's Day bonfire party before, most people had never seen how the bonfire was built, so out of curiosity, they came closer to take a look.
A few kind boys helped to carry some wood over, and soon the frame of the campfire was built.
After that, the waiters brought out seven or eight barbecue grills from the back kitchen of the dining area, placed them in a circle at a safe distance from the campfire, and used them to surround the campfire.
This is to prevent guests from having too much fun and getting too close to the bonfire, causing accidental burns.
Surrounding the barbecue grill, rows of wooden tables and chairs were brought out and arranged in a layout that would not interfere with people moving around.
Plates of freshly skewered barbecue ingredients were quickly served after being marinated. The students in Class 8 were already drooling.
When the waiter was ready, he asked Li Guoru. Li Guoru looked at Li Luo, and when he saw him nod, he said to the waiter, "Light the fire, we can start."
After receiving the order, the waiter came to the campfire and threw a tinder into it.
Under the gaze of everyone, the hay and wood chips at the bottom of the campfire were gradually ignited, starting from a small flame, gradually expanding little by little, and finally forming a pile of fire.
As the fire gradually grew bigger, the waiter began to add larger fruit wood firewood, putting it in vertically one by one.
Soon, the flames reached the top of the campfire and burned fiercely, illuminating everyone's faces red.
"Anyone want to try barbecue?" Li Luo walked to a barbecue grill and looked at the charcoal fire below, which was already burning red. So he skillfully took a brush and brushed a layer of oil on the mesh. Then he took a dozen skewers of lamb and put them on the grill.
Other students were also very interested and gathered in front of several other barbecue grills. Under the guidance of the waiter, they tried to start self-service barbecue.
Even girls who don’t dare to try it themselves will come over to see how other students bake out of curiosity.
After watching the whole process, everyone found that only Li Luo had the most skilled technique, whether it was brushing oil, turning the skewers or sprinkling the ingredients, he did it all in great shape.
"The squad leader is indeed a great chef from his previous life." Xu Yinghuan looked at Li Luo's skillful technique and immediately praised with a smile, "This barbecue is amazing too."
When Li Luo heard this, he rolled his eyes and thought to himself, your mouth is really like a blessing.
At this time, Yan Zhusheng just stood obediently beside Li Luo, watching him grill skewers seriously. He turned his head and saw sweat on his forehead, so he took out his wet tissue and wiped it for him.
Xu Yinghuan saw this scene and shook her head immediately, then glanced at the kebabs on the grill: "How long will it take?"
"It's almost ready." Li Luo said, "You can bring whatever you want to eat."
"Would you like two bunches of potato chips? Can they be baked a little crispier?" Xu Yinghuan asked with a little drooling.
"no problem."
"What is this?" Yan Zhusheng picked up two strings of round things, but couldn't figure out what they were, so he took them to Li Luo and asked.
"This is lamb kidney, right?" Li Luo said after taking a look.
"I haven't eaten it before." Yan Zhusheng blinked and put the lamb kidneys on the grill. "Try it."
The students of Class 8 were having a great time barbecuing, while the parents were enjoying the air-conditioning in the private room in the dining area.
The main reason is that it is summer. Even if it gets a little cooler at night, it is still very hot standing by the campfire.
These young people are very enthusiastic and not afraid of the heat. They are having a lot of fun, but their parents can't stand it.
There happened to be a private room on the second floor close to the small square. You could sit there and eat and drink, while having a view of the bonfire downstairs. It was a perfect spot.
Parents and teachers sat together, eating, chatting, and talking about family matters. The atmosphere was quite good.
However, although Kong Junxiang and Ding Xiang are teachers, they are actually only around 26 or 27 years old, which makes them much younger than these parents.
Only because of my identity as a teacher can I sit here and communicate normally.
However, seeing Ding Xiang looking down at the bonfire from time to time, Kong Junxiang smiled and said, "As a teacher, I am still a little worried. We are full now. Parents, please chat first. Teacher Ding and I will go down and take care of things."
As he said this, he pulled Dingxiang up, raised the glass in his hand, toasted the parents present, then walked out of the box with Dingxiang and went downstairs.
"Why did you drag me out?" Dingxiang asked in a low voice.
"Your eyes are about to fall into the bonfire downstairs." Kong Junxiang laughed and said, "It just so happens that I don't want to drink too much, so I just come out."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Ding Xiang held her hair up a little embarrassedly, and then said softly, "I just thought of last year's New Year's Eve party, when you sang a song on stage."
"Oh, about that." Kong Junxiang touched his nose, "My singing was average, so I made a fool of myself."
"That sounds great." Ding Xiang smiled, "Didn't I promise you that night?"
"Then we have to thank Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng." Kong Junxiang laughed.
"That's right." Ding Xiang smiled even brighter. "At that time, Yan Zhusheng suddenly handed me a bouquet of flowers. I was stunned for a moment."
"I didn't expect that it was pulled from the flower bed." Kong Junxiang smiled helplessly.
As the two of them talked, they came to the campfire downstairs.
At this time, Li Luo's mutton skewers had been successfully baked. He took two skewers and handed them to Yan Zhusheng, and distributed the rest to the students around him, and then continued to deal with the remaining skewers.
Yan Zhusheng blew gently a few times, took a bite and put it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately narrowed comfortably.
Then she glanced at Li Luo who was still busy, and quietly passed the string of noodles she had eaten to Li Luo's mouth: "Li Luo, you eat too."
"Hmm." Facing the campfire, the firelight was so bright that Li Luo couldn't see clearly, so he lowered his head and took a bite.
After finishing a whole skewer, Li Luo found that Yan Zhusheng handed him another complete skewer. He was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Yan Zhusheng, and found that she had just thrown away a skewer of lamb.
"Why did you give me the same bunch of food?"
"What's wrong?" Yan Zhusheng tilted his head and asked in confusion, "We also eat from the same dish when we eat, what's the problem?"
Li Luo curled the corner of his mouth, thinking that the words were indeed rough but the truth was there.
But Xu Yinghuan was already tired of listening to it, so she quickly took the roasted potato chips from Li Luo and wandered off to somewhere else.
Although the sugar-eating is very sweet, she can't resist the high frequency of feeding her sugar water in the past two days!
Of course it's nice to have a candy occasionally, but it's really unbearable to have it shoved into her mouth.
At this moment, Kong Junxiang and Ding Xiang strolled over to Li Luo.
When Li Luo saw the two people coming, he handed them two freshly grilled skewers.
"You can also barbecue?" Dingxiang took the skewers and took a curious look. She found that Li Luo was much more skilled than other students and was immediately surprised.
"How else can I be Mr. Kong's personal monitor?" Li Luo said with a smile, and then asked Kong Junxiang curiously, "Mr. Kong, have the results of the class division come out?"
"The specific results haven't been decided yet, but the teachers have already determined the classes they will be assigned to." Kong Junxiang said while eating skewers, "I originally thought that Teacher Sun would compete with me for Ying Chanxi's place, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to care which class Ying Chanxi will be assigned to."
"Now the first seven classes have been confirmed to be science classes, and the last five classes are arts classes."
"From Class 8 to Class 11, four classes are experimental classes, which can be regarded as pilot classes for the college entrance examination reform."
"Classes eight and nine are more science-oriented, mainly physics, chemistry and geography."
"Classes 10 and 11 are more liberal arts-oriented, mainly politics, history and chemistry."
Kong Junxiang paused for a moment, then glanced at Li Luo, shook his head and laughed, "The subjects you three chose are the weirdest. Although there are two liberal arts courses, the only subject you can match with the two liberal arts classes is history."
"So we still divide them into two experimental classes that are more science-oriented."
"It just so happens that I'm the head teacher of Class 8, so I brought the three of you here."
"As for the other students, they still have to wait for the subsequent major allocation, and the results will probably be announced in August."
"Is it possible?" Li Luo was a little surprised.
Originally, he chose the subjects this way, but he actually had a second plan, which was that if the school came to talk to the three of them and asked them to change subjects, Li Luo could take the opportunity to propose that the three of them be in the same class.
To be honest, with Li Luo and Ying Chanxi's current grades, it is easy for the school to meet this kind of private request.
But what he didn't expect was that there were only three people in the whole school who chose physics, history and geography, and they actually passed.
But in this case...
"So how are we going to take the classes?" Li Luo asked curiously, "Although we plan to take the test in the first selection, we may not be able to get full marks in all three subjects. We still have to take history classes later, right?"
The three secondary subjects for Class 8 are physics, chemistry and geography, and there is obviously no history class.
It's impossible to have dozens of other people in the class attend history class just for these three people, right?
"Students who study different subjects will be assigned to different classes." Kong Junxiang said, "Do you know how classes are taught in college?"
"For each class, the teacher is in a certain classroom, and then the students go to the fixed classroom to attend the class. After finishing this class, they will go to the classroom where the teacher of the next class is."
"It will be the same for you then, it will just be relatively simple."
"When our class has chemistry class, you three will go to class 16 for history class."
"Then the timetables of the two classes will be coordinated to ensure that chemistry and history classes can match each other."
When Li Luo heard this, he suddenly understood.
To be honest, he had never heard of this model in his previous life.
In his ordinary high school, students are basically forced to choose pure science or pure liberal arts. Apart from that, extra classes will be offered only for subjects such as physics, chemistry and geography that have a large number of students choosing them.
No one will care about you in other subcategories. You either have to change subjects or transfer to another school. There is no third option, and the school will not set up a class-hopping system specifically to accommodate you.
The main purpose is to save trouble.
On this point, although the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School also hopes that students can choose pure science or pure liberal arts as much as possible, it still respects the students' own wishes.
Moreover, since the reform has begun, we must gradually adapt to the new college entrance examination ecology. If we blindly stick to our old ways, the teaching quality will not keep up with the pace of reform.
"So, I am Mr. Kong's class monitor again?" Li Luo said with a smile.
"A new semester brings a new atmosphere. There will be new faces and elite students from key classes." Kong Junxiang said with a smile, "Although I really want you to continue to be the class monitor, it still depends on your own ability. You will be re-elected as a class committee member, so do your best."
"That's really a pity." Li Luo sighed and said, "After all, I am in the same class with Ying Chanxi, and I probably won't be able to compete with her by then." After hearing what Li Luo said, Kong Junxiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that there was this matter.
But on second thought, since Ying Chanxi is the monitor of Class 1, his ability to do things should not be bad. It doesn't matter if Li Luo can't compete with Ying Chanxi.
If at that time one of them becomes the monitor and the other the deputy monitor, I have to say it would be pretty good.
Thinking of this, Kong Junxiang became happy again.
Teacher Sun from Class 1 didn't compete with him for the prize. He picked up this treasure, Li Luo, and even got a buy-one-get-one-free deal, giving him the first place in the school. How can he justify this?
But when Li Luo heard Kong Junxiang say that Teacher Sun did not snatch Ying Chanxi's place, he finally realized the reason.
It was probably because Ying Chanxi had clearly stated that he would not apply for Peking University or Tsinghua University, and the math competition class was still in charge of Teacher Sun, so there was no effort to get Ying Chanxi involved in the class division.
After talking with Kong Junxiang about the class division, the things Li Luo was baking were basically finished.
The students in Class 8, who had already experienced the fun of barbecue, now realized the hard work of barbecue and handed the task of barbecue back to the waiters next to them.
Li Luo also gave up his seat and asked the waiter next to him to grill it.
At this time, the waiters from the kitchen in the dining area brought out plates of barbecue.
They are all roast chicken and roast duck, and they have to be roasted in the oven in the back kitchen to be tasty.
When the dish was served on the wooden table, it immediately attracted students from Class 8 to come and enjoy the food.
But when he saw the roasted rabbit meat, Lu Jiahao on the side stopped suddenly, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Li Luo."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"These rabbit meats, and the roasted chicken and roasted duck next to them..." Lu Jiahao was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Are they all the ones I fed during the day?"
"What else?" Li Luo asked curiously, "Aren't we raising them just to eat them?"
"..." Lu Jiahao opened his mouth, and although his face showed sadness, "If I had known this would happen, I would have rather not fed them."
"You've fed me so much that I've developed feelings for him?" Li Luo laughed, took some roasted rabbit meat and handed it to Lu Jiahao, "Try it?"
"Forget it." Lu Jiahao took a few glances, sniffed the fragrance, hesitated, and shook his head.
"At least they should be fed a little bit." Li Luo urged, "Compared to being eaten by a stranger, they might prefer to be eaten by you?"
After hearing what Li Luo said, Lu Jiahao was moved. In the end, he couldn't help but took a few pieces of rabbit meat and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing slowly.
"Is it delicious?"
"...delicious." Lu Jiahao nodded helplessly, and couldn't help but take a few pieces, "very fragrant."
Li Luo was happy and patted his shoulder: "Then you should eat more, don't let their sacrifice go to waste."
After comforting Lu Jiahao who had lost his brother Chicken, brother Duck and cute rabbit, Li Luo picked up the guitar beside him and found a seat near the campfire and sat down.
A light swipe of the finger attracted everyone's attention.
"Is the squad leader going to sing?" Zhu Yufei asked with a smile, "Do you have a new song?"
"I think it's pretty nice." Li Luo rolled his eyes at him, then looked at Yan Zhusheng beside him: "Will you sing?"
"What to sing?" Yan Zhusheng asked with his head tilted.
"It's your choice."
"Let's start with 'The Sky Has No Limits'," Yan Zhusheng said, "I'll warm up my voice."
"Okay." Li Luo smiled and then plucked the strings.
Yan Zhusheng didn't need any microphone, he just sang along with the rhythm.
The students in Class 8 ate barbecue while clapping and responding to Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo. When a song was finished, the whole audience cheered and applauded continuously, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Li Luo felt a little tired halfway through, so he gave his seat to Lin Yuan, letting the boy show off his skills, and then he strolled to the toilet.
As a result, when Li Luo came back from the toilet, because the campfire was bright, everyone's attention was mostly focused on Lin Yuan who was singing and playing the guitar by the campfire, and no one noticed Li Luo coming over.
A few girls were eating barbecue while listening to music and chatting in low voices.
"The squad leader and Yan Zhusheng are really a couple, right? Right? Ren Zheng said earlier that she saw them enter the room together!"
"Your details are not sufficient. It is said that it was Yan Zhusheng who took out the room card. That's the first floor! It's the monitor's room!"
"But I read the novel written by the monitor, and it seems that there are three female protagonists. The monitor has quite an appetite."
"As for novels, many of the novels for boys have many wives and concubines. It's pretty good that the class monitor has three."
"There's another female protagonist in it, who seems very much like Ying Chanxi from Class 1, the one who goes home with the monitor through the back door every night."
"Aren't they relatives?"
"It seems that they are not, I don't know if it's true or not. Some say they are cousins, and some in the same class say they are cousins, but Xu Yinghuan went to the same junior high school with them, and they said they were just neighbors."
"The squad leader is not really related to Ying Chanxi, right? No way? I think he and Yan Zhusheng are very sweet."
"Isn't there a third female lead? Who is the last one?"
"I don't know. I heard from Zhang Guohuang that it might be Senior Xu from the second year of high school, but after reading the novel, I don't think it's likely."
Li Luo had just walked behind Zhu Huiyan and Chen Zhongqi and a few other girls and happened to pass by when he heard this conversation. His face changed instantly.
He listened carefully from beginning to end with a gloomy face. The corners of his eyes could not help twitching, and his heart was constantly filled with inexplicable fear. He really couldn't figure out who leaked the news!
Is that you, senior?
It must be impossible.
The senior sister still has the leverage in her hand, how could she do such a thing.
Is it Zhusheng and Xixi?
Also unlikely.
How could they possibly share this little secret with other girls?
Could that be this guy Zhao Rongjun?
Nor should it.
Li Luo knew Zhao Rongjun's character. He didn't dare to tell others, but as long as you told Zhao Rongjun a secret, he would definitely keep it a strict secret.
On this point, Li Luo still has full confidence in Zhao Rongjun.
So what is going on?
Li Luo frowned, his expression uncertain.
At this time, Zhu Huiyan and Chen Zhongqi were chatting. Chen Zhongqi turned around to get the barbecue on the table, and saw Li Luo. He was immediately startled: "Class monitor?! Why are you here?"
"Fuck!" Zhu Huiyan turned her head and was immediately frightened by Li Luo standing in the shadows. She stepped back and exclaimed, "Squad leader, you are so scary."
"Um..." Shi Yanran suddenly became embarrassed when she saw Li Luo, and asked the two classmates in a low voice, "Did you hear what we just said?"
When Li Luo heard this, he smiled sadly, walked up to the three people with a sad face, and asked in a low voice: "Where did you hear that I wrote a novel?"
"Zhu Huiyan told us all this." Chen Zhongqi quickly explained in a low voice, "Ask her."
"Xu Guangtao...it's all Xu Guangtao!" Zhu Huiyan saw that Li Luo's face looked a little strange, and quickly pointed at Xu Guangtao not far away and shouted, "He told me all these secretly."
Xu Guangtao, who was eating barbecue, was stunned for a moment. When he heard someone calling his name, he turned his head and looked over. Then he saw Li Luo walking over with a smile. He put his hand on his shoulder and asked, "Who told you that I wrote a novel?"
Seeing Zhu Huiyan winking at him, Xu Guangtao was shocked and immediately gave away the main culprit: "Zhang Guohuang said it all. Squad leader, go find him."
At this time, the commotion here has attracted the attention of most people.
When Zhang Guohuang saw Li Luo walking towards him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. After noticing Xu Guangtao making eye contact with him, he immediately ran away.
"Zhang Guohuang! Why are you running!" Li Luo saw him and immediately chased after him, shouting, "Don't run if you have the guts!"
"Sergeant, stop chasing me! I didn't guess this!" When Zhang Guohuang saw Li Luo chasing him, he knew without thinking what had been exposed, so he didn't dare to stop.
As he ran around the campfire, he shouted, "It's all Zhu Yufei! It's all Zhu Yufei! He figured out that the book was written by you, squad leader! I didn't even know that!"
"Fuck!" When Zhu Yufei heard that the boy had given everything away and saw Li Luo glaring at him viciously, he immediately ran away, cursing as he ran, "Zhang Guohuang, you son of a bitch!"
"It's all because of your big mouth!"
"I told you this secretly with good intentions, and I told you not to tell anyone else, but now the whole class knows about it!"
"How dare you two say that!" Li Luo was furious when he heard this, "Stop right there!"
Seeing the three of them chasing each other, the other students in Class 8 laughed out loud.
The scene was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Ding Xiang had just gone to the toilet and had not returned yet. Kong Junxiang was staying here alone. Seeing this, he was immediately confused and could not help asking Xu Yinghuan next to him, "What's this novel written by Li Luo that they are talking about?"
"Ah?" Xu Yinghuan also blinked at this time, looking confused, "I don't know either."
"Didn't they say the whole class knew about it?"
"Yes." Xu Yinghuan scratched his head and asked Ren Zheng and Hua Xiuxiu, "Do you know what happened?"
"I know." Ren Zheng nodded, "Fang Chen told me secretly."
Hua Xiuxiu also nodded gently: "Yes, Lin Yuan told me."
"Fuck!" Xu Yinghuan was speechless. "We're in the same dormitory, why didn't you two tell me?"
"We thought you knew it a long time ago." Ren Zheng looked at her strangely, "You are so close to Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo, we all thought you were the first to know."
Xu Yinghuan: “???”
