Yang Jingyi’s tone was a little serious, and Ji Yuanyuan realized something.
She turned to Yang Jingyi and said seriously, “Jingyi, we’re best friends. But neither of us will be each other’s only friend. You will have other friends, and so will I. But that doesn’t affect our position in each other’s hearts, right?”
Yang Jingyi was happy again, “Yes, yes. We’ll definitely be best friends.”
Just as they were talking, Ji Zi’ang and Ji Zixuan came over.
The four of them walked out of the school gate one by one. Hu Chunli was already waiting at the door.
As soon as Yang Jingyi saw Hu Chunli, she discussed with her, “Yuanyuan and 1 are not in the same class. Mom, can you discuss with the teacher and transfer the two of us to the same class?”
She thought that Hu Chunli would definitely agree.
But who knew that Hu Chunli would say, “You’ll be here for a semester. We’ll be moving to the city next year. I’ll arrange it for you when the time comes. Let’s leave it at that for now, okay?”
Yang Jingyi didn’t seem to like it, so she pouted and didn’t speak.
Ji Zi’ang, who was beside him, asked in surprise, “The two of you are just next door. It doesn’t prevent you from going to the toilet hand in hand after class. Why do you have to be in the same class?”
As a boy, he obviously didn’t quite understand the way girls insisted on being together.
Yang Jingyi grabbed Hu Chunli’s sleeve and didn’t say anything.
However, although she was a little unhappy, Yang Jingyi still accepted Hu Chunli’s idea.
She no longer requested to be in the same class as Ji Yuanyuan.
However, when it was time to get finished class, Yang Jingyi ran to the door of Ji Yuanyuan’s classroom and called her out.
They would either go to the toilet hand in hand or talk in the corridor.
As time passed, Teacher Huo started to have a problem with Yang Jingyi.
“Tell Yang Jingyi from you class not to come to our class right after work!” In the office, Teacher Huo said to the homeroom teacher of Class 3.
The homeroom teacher of Class 3 was a young teacher. When he heard this, he quickly said, “Alright, I’ll tell her when I’m free.”
After Teacher Huo finished speaking, he reached out and took the documents on the table. He muttered to himself, “It’s time to hand in the form for the poor students. 1 have to go to class to talk about this after school in the afternoon.”
“Teacher Huo, the first place student in your class seems to have a difficult family, right?” The teacher of Class 3 asked curiously.
Ms. Huo sighed, “It does look difficult. She never go to the cafeteria for lunch, always bring her own food. And the food she bring seems to be made by herself.”
“She made it herself?” the young teacher was a little surprised.
“Yesterday’s shredded potatoes were fried until they were burnt. There’s also the cabbage from a few days ago…” Teacher Huo shook his head helplessly.
If it was an adult, it definitely wouldn’t be like this.
The teachers would always take good care of students who came from poor families and had good grades.
Ever since Teacher Huo realized that Fang Xinyi never went to lunch, he inevitably paid more attention to her.
Teacher Huo sorted out the poverty application form and put it together with the textbook.
The last class in the afternoon was his.
After the bell rang, Teacher Huo handed a stack of application forms to the students at the edge of the first row, “This is an application form for poverty. Students who have difficulties at home can keep one. After filling it out, you need to get the stamp of the village chiefe or street where you are located and hand it over to me.”
The stack of papers was passed from front to back, and then from back to front.
By the time it reached Ji Yuanyuan and Fang Xinyi, there was not a single one missing.
Therefore, Fang Xinyi was obviously hesitant, not knowing if she should take it.
A twelve-year-old girl also had self-esteem.
However, she only hesitated for a moment before keeping one of them and passing the rest to the others.
After the entire class was done, Teacher Huo counted.
Only one application form was missing!
He looked around and said meaningfully, “Don’t think that this is a shameful thing. I’ll leave these forms here. If anyone wants to take them, feel free to take them.”
Teacher Huo placed the form on the podium, packed his things, and left.
Once the teacher left, the students flew out of the classroom like birds that had escaped from their cages.
Fang Xinyi carefully folded the application form and placed it in the middle of the textbook.
After packing her bag, Fang Xinyi quickly walked out of the classroom.
After Fang Xinyi left, the two girls sitting behind them whispered, “I guessed it a long time ago. Look at her schoolbag. She’s been carrying it for so many years. And her clothes, they’re all faded…”
“Also, I didn’t see her go out for lunch. One time, 1 came back early and found that she brought her own food, and she even…”
“It’s not good to talk about people behind their backs, right?” Ji Yuanyuan couldn’t stand it anymore and interrupted the two girls.
Ji Yuanyuan’s studies were good, and her family’s financial situation was not bad. Furthermore, on the first day of school, they already knew that Ji Yuanyuan’s biological brother was in the senior year.
Therefore, no matter if it was the boys or girls in the class, they did not dare to provoke Ji Yuanyuan.
“I’m not talking about you…” One of the girls whispered as she avoided his gaze.
Ji Yuanyuan ignored the two of them and packed her bag before going out to look for Yang Jingyi.
In the class, only Fang Xinyi had submitted an application for poverty. Therefore, without any setbacks, this quota belonged to Fang Xinyi.
However, from the moment Fang Xinyi submitted her application, the attitude of her classmates towards her seemed to have changed.
Most of the students kept a respectful distance from Fang Xinyi, as if poverty was a disease that would be contagious as long as they got close to her.
Whether it was going to school or going to the toilet, Fang Xinyi was always alone.
Very clearly, Fang Xinyi was isolated.
This phenomenon made Ji Yuanyuan feel a little uncomfortable. She did not understand why everyone could only see Fang Xinyi’s poverty but not her excellence.
Hence, she would drag Fang Xinyi along with her whenever she went to the toilet during class.
At the beginning, Yang Jingyi was also a little unhappy.
However, when she found out about Fang Xinyi’s situation, she gladly accepted it.
The relationship between the three of them also became better and better.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of November.
Li Xu and Hu Chunli’s house in the city had been renovated. They planned to take the children to the city to see their new home during the weekend.
If the children had any needs, they could take advantage of the period before the new year to buy more.
Zhang Kun’s car could not fit so many people, so everyone discussed and decided to let the children take the bus. Li Xu and Hu Chunli went to the bus station to take a bus and then took a taxi.
It was naturally cheaper for Zhang Kun to drive than to take a bus. He first brought Ji Yuanyuan and the rest to the house that Li Xu had bought.
It was mid-November, and the weather was getting cold.
As soon as she entered the house, the heat came. Ji Yuanyuan could not help but shiver..
