The episode during the meal was quickly forgotten. After the meal, Yan Han and the others rushed back to class.
Squad leader Qin Siyu was assigning tasks to people who had returned from lunch.
Qin Siyu had big eyes, a straight nose, and unique facial features. However, for a girl, her skin was a bit dark and her figure was a bit strong, which made her look quite honest.
In fact, she was exactly this kind of person, a very warm-hearted and simple girl.
“You three are back.” As soon as Yan Han and others appeared at the door of the class, Qin Siyu said in a loud voice, “Wen Juerong, you and Houhou[1] will help move the tables and chairs out first. Yan Han, wait for a while until they finish moving. Then fill the buckets with water and then mop the floor.”
After saying that, she turned around and started moving the tables and chairs outside with the other boys.
The squad leader had always been responsible for the arrangements for cleaning, but Qin Siyu was famous for being fair when assigning tasks. She was also considerate of female classmates and would try her best to avoid letting girls do strenuous work.
But she was the squad leader. In order to convince the crowd, she never included herself among the girls. She rushed to do all the dirty work.
Wen Juerong also had a good relationship with her. He was usually too lazy to move, but now he did whatever he was asked to do and helped her move things without any hesitation.
“Sister Yu, have you had lunch? You came back so early.” He asked.
Qin Siyu said: “I ate the bread I bought in the supermarket in the morning.”
“You do this every time.” Wen Juerong said, “Why are you not in a hurry? It will be too late to wait until everyone has finished eating!”
“I have a bad temper. Be urgent!” Qin Siyu imitated his coy tone and spoke.
“F**k you.” Wen Juerong rolled his eyes at her, “Sister Yu, you are really a womanizer. You won’t be able to find anyone like this.”
As he spoke, he looked at the girls in the corridor who had returned from eating but were standing still. They were all waiting for the tables and chairs to be moved and the buckets of water to be returned before they started wiping dust and mopping the floor.
Wen Juerong said: “You learn from others.”
Qin Siyu said: “I’m fine, I’m more energetic, let them wait.”
Wen Juerong hated iron for not becoming steel[2] and didn’t know how to educate this upright old squad leader.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and realized that there was another female classmate here who was as “tiger” as his sister Yu, and she was incredibly strong. He felt like his jaw dropped immediately!
——Most of the desk tops and drawers were filled with books, which were so heavy that it was difficult for even ordinary boys to lift them by themselves.
You couldn’t drag it along because it would make too much noise, so it usually took two people to carry it to the corridor together.
But what did he see?
Brother Yan carried a table all by herself, walked out of the classroom, and then placed it firmly on the ground?!
…I must be dazzled.
Wen Juerong wiped his eyes, thinking that it might be some scumbag’s desk. There were no books in it, and she could just be carrying a desk with empty compartment. It was really nothing to make a fuss about…
Just as he was thinking this, his jaw dropped in shock and he couldn’t close it.
One table was okay, but one after another, Brother Yan not only carried the table out by herself, but sometimes she could also carry the chairs out… Then every table could not be very light, right??!
Not only Wen Juerong had this idea, but also the people who were watching the excitement and half-heartedly not working properly also noticed him.
However, Yan Han didn’t care much about what other people thought.
First of all, he was not a girl who needed to be taken care of.
Secondly, how could he waste such a good opportunity to score points?
The third was that if no one had any objections to Qin Siyu moving the table, then him doing such strenuous work should not arouse suspicion from others.
There was nothing to fuss over about strong girls. Here he referred to his “brother” Sun Erniang. Not only was she strong, but she also had a tough personality. The most important thing was that she didn’t stick to trivial matters… Well, from this look, Qin Siyu was actually pretty similar to her.
No wonder he had a familiar feeling just now, it turned out that he was thinking of her.
While everyone was in a daze, Yan Han had carried all the tables out of the classroom.
He took the last table from Qin Siyu and Wen Juerong and moved it outside smoothly.
“Squad leader, what else do I need to do?” Yan Han asked, patting the dust off his hands.
Qin Siyu barely recovered from her daze: “What else do you want to do?… Go and take a rest!”
She raised her voice again and directed the others: “Boys, all bring buckets to the toilet to fetch water!”
“What are you doing? Huh? We will be working for a while and then we have to go to class!”
Although Qin Siyu had a bold personality and was the monitor of the class, her style was actually different from that of Class 17.
She was one of the few people in this class who was motivated and wanted to study hard to move to one of the previous classes.
Moreover, a person’s family background could be seen from their food and clothing. Qin Siyu dressed plainly and lived a frugal life. It was obvious at a glance that she was not a child of a rich family, and her appearance was ordinary, which led to others not buying into her squad leader authority.
She had only two or three good friends, one of whom was Wen Juerong, a social flower. There were also two female classmates who were her roommates. They were also people with similar conditions to her family and were trying to study hard to improve their circumstances.
Several boys went to fetch water, and it was the turn of the girls who had been standing in the corridor to watch to work. Some of them were responsible for sweeping the floor with brooms before mopping, and some were responsible for mopping the floor.
Three or five beautiful girls reluctantly picked up brooms and started sweeping the floor.
No one liked this kind of work, it was tiring and boring.
Just talking about this broom, if you use it for a long time, your arms will hurt and your fingers will become rough.
If you have this time, you might as well go to the playground and watch people play, and maybe you can make a good impression in front of your male idol.
The most discouraging thing was that there was no popular figure in the school in Class 17. There were still very few people with excessive talents in the world, and there were almost no particularly handsome boys in their class. Unlike Class 18 next door, every time they cleaned, they could do it together with Wei Ningxin, maybe even get assigned to the same group.
Although working was tiring, working with a male idol was different.
Several girls casually hit the ground with their brooms, mostly with the intention of being perfunctory.
Qin Siyu saw it but said nothing.
They were all classmates, so things like collective cleaning were all done consciously. She could only organize and arrange things, but she could not force or order others to do anything.
It was not easy for her to be the squad leader. Not many people supported her. If she was too controlling, she would cause trouble. People said that it was great since she became a squad leader.
There was really no other way. Qin Siyu could only pick up the broom and planned to clean the place they had swept again.
Qin Siyu sighed, and the broom was snatched away by her companion again. A thin female said pointedly: “Stop it, can you do so much work alone? This is not your class alone.”
Her voice was neither high nor low, just enough for the girls sweeping the floor to hear.
But those girls obviously didn’t care. They didn’t want to argue with such people, and they didn’t mind the sarcasm. They didn’t care at all. They just glared in this direction as a warning.
“But…” Qin Siyu hesitated.
If the floor was not clean, it would be even more difficult to mop it with a mop later. If it was not cleaned up when the school came to inspect, she would be scolded first.
What could be done?
These girls who didn’t work hard were all colluding with the gangsters in Class 18. They were all unreasonable and she would get herself into trouble if she talked too much.
Stunned and afraid of bullying, the reason why honest people were bullied and dared not resist was just because they couldn’t afford to waste time with these gangsters.
Others with superior family backgrounds did not need to study and their future was still bright. Could they still compare?
She was also feeling aggrieved. She had been feeling aggrieved since she became class monitor last semester.
Qin Siyu felt sad. At this time, the classmates who went out to fetch water had come back. The girls who were sweeping the floor had given up on their work after just two sweeps.
Everyone had their own assigned tasks, and it was not easy to ask others to sweep again at this time. Qin Siyu looked at the still dirty ground and finally picked up the broom herself.
Just as she was about to sweep the floor again, a figure had already taken the lead and walked to the back of the classroom in front of the blackboard with a broom.
