Chapter 50 Ichijo Hanako
As Xu Chen had predicted before, the rainstorm was coming quickly and fiercely, so it wouldn't last long.
The heavy rain pouring down on the playground has begun to subside.
Xu Chen took out his cell phone and checked the time. He should be able to catch up with the selection for the city games in the afternoon, so there should be no problem.
He suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Where did Li Rui go?"
Li Rui, like Xie Bingran, was expelled from school because of yesterday's incident.
Xu Chen still felt a little guilty, after all, what happened yesterday was related to him.
Xie Bingran, Li Rui and the others are all trying to help themselves eliminate danger.
Xie Bingran said:
"Don't worry about him. He was considering dropping out of school. He has no hope of taking the college entrance examination and his family has no money to continue studying."
Xie Bingran thought for a while:
"If you want to thank him, just treat him to a meal."
Xu Chen: "What plans does he have after school?"
"He has already passed the driver's license test and is going to drive a taxi with his father."
……
The heavy rain gradually stopped.
In the blink of an eye, the clouds dissipated and the sun was in the sky.
If it weren't for the water and mud on the ground, it would be impossible to tell that there had been a heavy rain.
Xu Chen's clothes were all wet, but when the sun shone brightly, the moisture began to evaporate.
The old township playground is not paved with plastic, and the track is covered with fine gray and black cinders.
Fortunately, there are underground drainage channels, so it is not so muddy.
The two walked across the wet track, clattering on cinders, and headed towards the playground gate.
Xu Chen shook his backpack hard, and the water droplets were thrown far away.
Xie Bingran stuffed her running shoes into her bag and carried them behind her back, holding the wet clothes she had just changed into.
Both of them looked embarrassed, but they were generally in good moods.
……
A little after two o'clock in the afternoon.
Bus No. 16 stopped opposite No. 1 Middle School. Xu Chen and Xie Bingran stepped off the bus one after the other.
Xu Chen had already changed into a pair of dry clothes, which he bought casually in the town before getting in the car. There was no brand.
Xie Bingran raised his head and glanced at the school gate, with a hint of hesitation in his cold and gloomy eyes.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy something."
Xu Chen said, turned around and walked towards the small shop on the roadside.
The fat shop owner had recognized Xu Chen and was instantly smiling.
Last time Xu Chen bought several boxes of instant noodles, ham sausages, and a few cartons of cigarettes at once, and he was already listed as an important customer by the store.
"Little boss, what do you want to buy this time?"
"Give me a piece of soft chinese."
The fat boss was startled, and a huge smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment...right now!"
After a while, the fat boss took out a piece of soft Chinese and handed it to Xu Chen.
Xu Chen took it, looked at it carefully, but frowned.
“Boss, my family is doing business, and my dad often buys cigarettes to give away.
I don’t smoke, but I’ve seen a lot of smokers...”
He didn't say anything clearly, but the fat boss looked stunned, flashing a hint of panic.
He put on an embarrassed smile and reached out to smoke back the cigarette in Xu Chen's hand:
"Little boss, please wait a moment, I seem to have picked up the wrong one."...
In the early 2000s, fake cigarettes and wine were everywhere on the market.
People like Ruunou Huazi need to be extremely careful.
This fat shop owner probably thinks that Xu Chen is just a high school student and doesn't know what is true and what is false...
In fact, in this small county, 90% of the people who buy Huazi do not smoke it themselves, but use it as gifts.
Even if the recipient of the gift can tell that it is a fake, it is not easy to tell them directly.
Many small cigarette shop owners make this kind of money.
In his previous life, Xu Chen was a long-time smoker. Occasionally he would reward himself by buying some good cigarettes to smoke. After being deceived many times, he had developed a sharp eye... Soon, another bright red soft Chinese appeared in into Xu Chen's hands.
He looked at it carefully, smiled and nodded.
The fat boss looked embarrassed:
"I'll give you a 20% discount. The little boss will take care of the business in the future.
When you come to my place in the future, you can feel free to buy things..."
Xu Chen smiled, but was too lazy to say anything more. He paid and left the supermarket.
Xie Bingran waited on the roadside with his hands in his pockets.
When she saw Xu Chen holding a cigarette, she looked confused:
“What are you buying cigarettes for?”
Xu Chen smiled:
"Hurry up and put on your running shoes."
"Oh..."
Xie Bingran found a step and sat down, took out a pair of red running shoes from her backpack, and put them on her feet.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Chen took apart the piece of soft China, scattered it into a package, and stuffed it into his backpack first.
The two of them walked straight into the school gate. When the guard saw that they were two students, he let them in without thinking too much.
Xu Chen took Xie Bingran and walked straight to the playground.
……
Today's "City Games Selection" is actually a "qualifier" for the northern school district.
Only those who pass today's selection will be eligible to participate in the Municipal Games.
In addition to No. 1 Middle School, sports students from No. 2 Middle School and Experimental High School also came here.
The reason why we chose No. 1 Middle School to compete is because the playground hardware in No. 1 Middle School is the best and most professional.
It is now recess, and many students are gathered at the gate of the playground.
The fence is up.
Non-participants are not allowed to enter...
Xu Chen took Xie Bingran and quickly arrived at the outskirts of the playground.
"Isn't that Brother Bing?"
"Wasn't she expelled? Why is she still in school..."
"What is she doing in the playground?"
"Why is there Xu Chen from Class 5?"
Some whispers reached his ears, but Xu Chen naturally didn't take them seriously.
He turned to look at Xie Bingran. Brother Bing's expression was cold and expressionless, which didn't seem to affect his mood.
"Wait for me here for a moment." Xu Chen said.
Xie Bingran nodded and stood waiting outside the playground.
Xu Chen walked to a fence, looked inside, and then waved his hand.
After a while, Chen Dahai ran over in a hurry.
Chen Dahai is an athletic student who practices high jump, and his grades are pretty good, so he naturally appeared at the selection site.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
As Chen Dahai spoke, he glanced outside through the fence again and happened to see "Brother Bing".
"Master Xu, did you really bring Brother Bing here?"
Xu Chen was speechless. He took out Huazi from his backpack and stuffed them all to Chen Dahai through the fence.
Chen Dahai reached out and took it, stuffing it all into his wide trouser pocket like a thief.
Xu Chen said: "Go quickly."
Chen Dahai smiled: "Then can I embezzle a package?"
Xu Chen: "You take care of the matter, and I'll buy you a separate pair."
Chen Dahai showed surprise: "Master Xu is open! Then I have to handle it!"
With that said, Chen Dahai turned around and ran into the playground with his pants bulging.
Chen Dahai will bring Xu Chen and Xie Bingran into the venue, which Xu Chen has arranged in advance.
Xu Chen put on his backpack and walked slowly back to Xie Bingran.
Xie Bingran didn't say a word, but he also understood the intention of Xu Chen's cigarette.
It turns out that bringing yourself into the venue still requires some private operations.
