Chapter 76: Experienced Old Squad Leader (25)

The two returned to Su's house, and Su Daqiang had just returned as well.

From today on, Su Daqiang, the Dawali family, has become a glorious teacher again. He can no longer skip classes and go home early to cook.

Su Mingzhe saw that Su Daqiang was just about to cook. Su Mingyu and Su Mingcheng had returned from school a long time ago. The two little guys were holding their stomachs and shouting that they were hungry.

These are his biological brother and sister, Su Mingzhe couldn’t bear to see them suffer.

He asked Li Ansheng to take Su Mingyu to watch TV. He stuffed five dollars into Su Mingcheng's pocket and asked the boy to buy sesame cakes, while he went to buy braised dishes.

When Su Daqiang is at home, he only needs to cook the staple food.

Su Daqiang listened to Su Mingzhe's arrangements, and when he saw his two sons running out the door, he couldn't help but grumble:
"This is such a waste. Money is spent like water every day. What kind of family would spend so much money like this?"

Li Ansheng and Su Mingyu listened and pretended not to hear.

Su Daqiang's habit of nagging is comparable to Zhao Meilan's.

If anyone dared to speak up at this time, Su Daqiang would keep nagging endlessly.

When Zhao Meilan came back from get off work, Su Mingzhe had already bought the braised dishes.

Su Mingcheng went to buy sesame cakes and had to wait in line.

Su Daqiang started to serve the rice, and then Su Mingcheng bought the sesame cakes.

The family had lunch.

Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng went back to their rooms to take a nap.

Li Ansheng and Su Mingyu sleep in the same room.

At around 1:30, Su Daqiang started calling the children to go to school.

In fact, Su Mingzhe and his two siblings all have timed alarm clocks in their rooms.

Su Daqiang shouted purely out of habit.

When they arrived at school, Li Ansheng returned to Class 6, while Su Mingzhe returned to Class 1. They began to greet their classmates and gathered in the small playground.

The military training for high school students lasts for five days, with a performance on the morning of the sixth day.

On the morning of the first day, we mainly practiced standing at attention and turning left and right.

In the afternoon, we continued to practice turning left and right, and added a marching kick.

Some girls couldn't stand the hardship of military training and started complaining about stomach discomfort and wanting to rest.

The instructor was stunned for a moment and then agreed.

Girls are a special group during military training. They can go to rest by covering their stomachs and crying in pain.

Of course, these women cannot eat the old popsicles that Su Mingzhe bought for them during their rest time.

When everyone was taking a break, eating cold drinks and chatting happily, the few girls who were "taking a break due to illness" could only watch.

A day of military training is over.

The high school department has evening self-study classes, so Su Mingzhe and Li Ansheng had dinner at school.

Since there were no classes for freshmen, everyone had nothing to do, so Nie Lai Jin asked Su Mingzhe, the class monitor, to lead everyone in organizing some activities and electing class committee members.

There are quite a lot of class committee members in high school, including the class monitor, deputy class monitor, Youth League Committee, Labor Committee, Academic Committee, Sports Committee, Propaganda Committee, and Discipline Inspection Committee, known as the Eight Vajras.

Following Nie Lai Jin's instructions, Su Mingzhe honestly conducted an election.

First, invite students who are interested in being class committee members to volunteer to go on stage to give speeches and canvass for votes.

Then comes the voting phase.

After a day of hard training, everyone had a basic impression.

Soon, the class committee of eight members was officially established.

Su Mingzhe is the class monitor, Pei Yong, a basketball player, becomes the sports committee member, and the other six class committee members are all unfamiliar classmates.

There are four males and four females among the eight class committee members, which is a reasonable combination of men and women.

During the second period of evening self-study, Nie Lai Jin came in again and asked Su Mingzhe to take the class committee to discuss the daily work arrangements of the class.

For example, the cleaning schedule.

For example, class fees and group fees.

For example, the class activities every month.

For example, issues such as the student union and clubs.

Etc., etc!
All of these require the class committee to help plan and arrange.

Among the eight class committee members, only Su Mingzhe, who has been the class monitor since childhood, is well aware of all matters.

Although the other seven people had served as class committee members, they were far behind Su Mingzhe in terms of age and experience.

At this time, the task of convening the class committee and organizing activities can only be shouldered by the class monitor Su Mingzhe:
"Everyone, the Youth League Committee will collect the Youth League fees tomorrow. It's the same as in junior high school, two yuan a year. As for class fees, they will be collected monthly for the time being, also two yuan. If we collect the class fees for the whole year at once, I'm afraid that several students from rural areas in the class won't be able to come up with so much at once."

Su Mingzhe's words made the atmosphere in the class committee a little solemn.

After all, our class teacher Nie Lai Jin just said that the class fees and group fees should be collected as soon as possible.

Now Su Mingzhe wants to delay the collection of class fees again, which is equivalent to resisting the orders of the class teacher.

No matter what everyone thinks, Su Mingzhe has a solution for the problem he has thought of:

"I have a suggestion. Regarding the class fee, we can collect it on a monthly basis. In addition, I have a plan to organize some students to perform in some shopping malls during the National Day to subsidize the class fee..."

The membership fees of high school students are submitted to the school’s Youth League Committee.

The class fee is the cost of class collective activities, and is more often used to supplement the loss of class public goods.

For example, at the beginning of the school year, each class received a broom and dustpan for cleaning.

However, some classes did not take good care of the tools and damaged them after only two days of use.

The school will not reissue compensation for such damaged public property.

At this time, the class will not ask students to pay compensation, but will need to use class funds to make up for the loss.

In addition, there are some group activities, such as autumn outing, spring outing, New Year’s Day party and so on.

In general, the school is only responsible for providing basic financial support, such as renting a bus, etc. If students want to have fun and have a picnic, they need to use class funds to cover the costs.

There are also melon seeds and fruits for the New Year’s Day party.

There are also ranking rewards after midterm and final exams, etc.

All of these require class funds.

According to the tuition fee standard for high school students at No. 1 Middle School, one semester costs about ten to twenty yuan.

This amount of money is nothing for students in the city.

But for rural students, they really have to grit their teeth and come up with the money.

Su Mingzhe now proposed a way to make money to supplement the class fees, which stunned several class committee members.

Is our squad leader so awesome?

At this time, Pei Yong coughed lightly and spoke.

"Monitor, you are not going to use your magic show to make money, are you?"

During the three years of winter and summer vacations in junior high school, Su Mingzhe would go to Guanqian Street to set up a stall and make money almost without fail.

The No. 1 Middle School is right next to Guanqian Street, so the news of Su Mingzhe setting up a stall naturally could not be hidden from other students.

Therefore, as an old classmate from junior high school, Pei Yong had no doubts about Su Mingzhe's ability to make money.

However, in Pei Yong's opinion, it is true that Su Mingzhe can make money, but taking the entire class to perform is like everyone playing the game of Pesticide, and the king leads the bronze players, and he may not be able to lead them.

The other class committee members who didn't know the situation were confused and began to whisper to each other to find out what was going on.

After Su Mingzhe and the others finished chatting, he said, "The situation is like this. I know a leader of a cultural media company who is in charge of the anniversary celebration of that shopping mall. The leader of that cultural media company is short of manpower and is looking for people to put together a program. I thought about it and thought that we could apply our knowledge of physics and chemistry to perform some special programs."

"This way, we can apply the knowledge in the textbooks, increase students' interest in learning physics and chemistry, and allow them to participate in social activities, so that they don't become bookworms who don't know the difference between grains."

"Squad leader is awesome!"

As an old classmate, Pei Yong was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

When the other class committee members heard Su Mingzhe's organized plan, they naturally would not disagree.

However, the specific activities and performances still require us to discuss slowly.

This is all a story for later.

Su Mingzhe continued to lead everyone in holding class committee meetings. He wanted to lead everyone to sort out and finalize the scope of class affairs.

The other class committee members may have different ideas, but after Su Mingzhe showed his abilities, most of them were convinced.

After all, in the eyes of this group of freshmen, Su Mingzhe, who ranked first in the city, was able to set up a stall in Guanqian Street to make money three years ago. He could even pay for popsicles for everyone to cool down during the day. His character and ability are both excellent and worthy of everyone's trust.

Under the leadership of Su Mingzhe, the entire class committee is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the second class was over, Su Mingzhe and everyone temporarily set the class rules.

After the evening self-study, Su Mingzhe sent Li Ansheng home first.

Li Ansheng's family lives in a high-end villa area to the east of the school, very close, just across the street.

It only takes five or six minutes to take a detour.

When the two parted, they were just like other couples, whispering in each other's ears and reluctant to leave.

The next day, before Su Mingzhe came to school, he went to the pharmacy and bought a few boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

During the military training yesterday, students from other classes suffered from heatstroke.

Su Mingzhe would not allow such a thing to happen in his class.

Military training was carried out in an orderly manner during the day.

In the evening, Su Mingzhe followed Nie Lai Jin's instructions and counted everyone's tuition payments. When he found out that there were only two students who had not paid, he urged them to pay.

This high school student education is no longer compulsory.

If you don't pay tuition, the school won't give you textbooks.

Even after the military training is over, the dormitory buildings have to be cleaned for those students who have not paid their accommodation fees.

These two students who did not pay their tuition fees did not come from poor families; they simply forgot to take the money.

After Su Mingzhe urged for a while, he began to inform everyone about the content of yesterday's class committee meeting.

The Youth League Committee also stood up and asked everyone to start preparing to pay the league fees and class fees.

In order to save trouble, Su Mingzhe asked Jiang Yue'e from the Youth League Committee to collect both the class fees and the league fees together.

At the same time, Su Mingzhe reminded the students who lived on campus to take good care of their clothes and luggage so that they would not be stolen.

Although the No. 1 Middle School has a good school spirit, there are always some bad guys every year who steal other people's things when no one is in the classroom or dormitory.

Day students usually don't leave any valuables in the classroom.

Boarding students usually bring a week's or even a month's living expenses.

If the money was stolen, it would be a disaster like the end of the world for students who were only 15 or 16 years old.

At this time, Su Mingzhe reminded everyone that it was also because "a chest-high fence can protect against gentlemen but not villains."

Everyone should try not to show off their wealth so as not to arouse the greed of some people.

Su Mingzhe, who has been a class monitor since childhood, has seen too many ugly sides.

If Su Mingzhe speaks more today, it will help students avoid accidents and make their daily work easier in the future.

When Su Mingzhe got off the podium, the head teacher Nie Lai Jin appeared.

Nie Lai Jin was very proud of appointing Su Mingzhe as the class monitor, which made it less stressful for him as the class teacher.

However, when Su Mingzhe said some things, his classmates did not really buy into them.

This is what is meant by "a small person's words have little weight".

At this time, Nie Lai Jin needs to reiterate some key points that might cause accidents and explain their importance to the students.

If something does happen, there is nothing the school can do.
