An hour later, Yu Jin and Jiang Muqing finally arrived at the gate of the Martyrs Cemetery, caught up with the large army, and returned to their classes.
At this time, it was almost noon.
Then they started to rest where they were, and the teachers asked everyone to have lunch.
After eating, it is time to visit the grave.
At this time, Yu Jin, Chen Yang, Zhuge Yun and the others discovered that there was only one store selling food, but because there were too many people, there was no food soon.
Chen Yang: "It's over. I'm going to be hungry again. How will I have the strength to walk back later?"
"I thought you could buy food up there."
Zhuge Yun regretted and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have bought some food and brought it with me."
"I just grabbed a piece of bread, how about we share some?"
"That's not enough."
"Hahaha, haven't you bought anything to eat?"
A familiar voice sounded, and everyone turned around, only to see Jiang Muqing carrying her schoolbag and Tang Xiaoli walking over with a smile.
Everyone was silent.
"Yu Jin, didn't you ask me what I carry in my schoolbag? Then I will tell you now."
Jiang Muqing couldn't fit her schoolbag in, so she opened the zipper and said, "See for yourselves."
Everyone looked around.
It was actually filled with all kinds of bread, milk, and water.
"..." Everyone.
Jiang Muqing looked at the incredulous looks on everyone's faces and said proudly: "Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
"No, Jiang Muqing, how come you carry so much food?" Zhuge Yun swallowed and asked first.
Tang Xiaoli explained on the side: "Mu Qing knows that you boys are lazy and may go hungry without food after you come up empty-handed, so that's why you prepared so much and carried it up alone."
"No, you prepare it for Yu Jin, we understand."
Chen Yang asked in confusion: "Have you prepared it for us?"
"certainly."
Jiang Muqing smiled and said, "Since you are Yu Jin's friends, you are also my friend, so of course I will prepare some for you."
"Wow, Jiang Muqing."
Zhuge Yun sighed: "You are too good, you are simply our immortal classmate!"
"Yeah."
Liu Hante agreed: "If Yu Jin doesn't like you, he's simply blind."
Suddenly, Chen Yang slapped himself hard in the face.
Everyone: "???"
Chen Yang said guiltily to Yu Jin: "Yu Jin, if I had known that Jiang Muqing was carrying food for us in her schoolbag, I should have helped you carry it for a while instead of letting you carry it up the mountain alone."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to reach for the bread in his schoolbag.
"roll!"
Yu Jin stopped him. These roommates were so ashamed of themselves for the sake of food.
He said angrily: "You can eat it if you want, but there is no free lunch in the world. People also pay for it, double the price, and they pay for it and deliver it."
"Damn it, Yu Jin, are you a human being? You're just trying to raise the price."
"Yes, it's not yours. Jiang Muqing said it was for us to eat."
Liu Han asked Jiang Muqing, "Jiang Muqing, do you think so?"
Jiang Muqing smiled shyly and said, "I listen to Yu Jin."
Everyone: "..."
"Whether you want to buy it or not."
Yu Jin felt more confident now and said, "Is it easy for a girl to carry so many things and climb a mountain? It's not expensive.
You grown men can't let girls contribute both money and effort, right? "
Liu Han asked meaningfully: "Then you eat, do you want to pay for it?"
"Of course not."
"Why?"
Yu Jin smiled confidently and said, "Because I helped her carry her up just now. Did you carry her?"
"..." Everyone.
Bah, you don’t want Bilian, just because people like you!
…
No money was given, but everyone was forced by Yu Jin to pay IOUs.
Chen Yang owed Jiang Muqing fifteen yuan, Zhuge Yun owed seventeen yuan, and Liu Han owed thirteen yuan.
When it was Yu Jin's turn to take the bread, a reversal happened.
"The so-called treating everyone equally, you have to write me an IOU." Jiang Muqing suddenly refused and actually asked Yu Jin to write an IOU.
When the other three saw this, they immediately became happy and joked: "Yu Jin, there is no such thing as a free lunch, haha."
"..." Yu Jin.
Jiang Muqing thought for a while and said with a smile: "But because you carried my schoolbag, you can offset half of the meal money, so just give me an IOU of seven and a half yuan."
"Just hit us."
Yu Jin didn't think much about it. She felt that what Jiang Muqing said made sense, so she took the notebook from her hand and started writing seriously.
[April 5, 2018, at the Martyrs Cemetery, I owe Jiang Muqing seven yuan and fifty cents today, and I will pay it back in the future - Yu Jinliu]
After writing, Yu Jin returned the notes to Jiang Muqing and said, "Are you okay now?"
Jiang Muqing looked at Yu Jin's IOU with satisfaction. After carefully putting it away, she said, "You can take the bread and milk in your schoolbag and eat it yourself. You're welcome."
"..." Yu Jin.
After dinner, the class gathered together and then started the grave sweeping activity.
It is said to be sweeping the tomb, but there are people taking care of the cemetery. In fact, it is divided into areas. The dust and fallen leaves on the tombstone are symbolically cleaned, and then a chrysanthemum is presented and a minute of silence is observed.
But when everyone does this, they find that some people are not.
Jiang Muqing looked at the mottled handwriting on the tombstones and suddenly had an idea.
She came to the vendor at the entrance of the cemetery and said, "Boss, bring me two brushes and two bottles of gold ink."
"Okay."
After buying it, she came to the tombstone again and found Yu Jin who was sweeping the tomb.
Jiang Muqing handed him the brush and gold ink and said, "Do you want to join me in tracing gold on the tombstone?"
"What kind of gold are you tracing?" Yu Jin had no idea what Jiang Muqing meant by tracing gold.
"It's like this."
Jiang Muqing didn't explain much. She put down the things in her hands, dipped her pen in ink, moved her hands, and followed the stone carvings on the tombstone in front of her, carefully describing them stroke by stroke.
The golden brush slowly passed over it, and the original mottled and dim golden words on the tombstone suddenly shone again and regained their glory.
After Yu Jin read it, she felt a little shocked.
"Do you know now?"
Jiang Muqing turned around and asked, "Do you want to join? I think tracing gold is much more meaningful than doing these meaningless tomb sweepings."
"good."
Without any hesitation, Yu Jin took a pen and gold ink from Jiang Muqing's side and joined in directly.
The first ones to notice the situation here were Chen Yang and others, and then Tang Xiaoli and others joined in spontaneously one after another.
Their actions soon attracted everyone's attention, and the teachers also expressed their approval of Jiang Muqing's innovative approach.
But because of the cost involved, it was still voluntary.
However, soon, more and more people joined in spontaneously.
After a while, the entire cemetery was filled with students half-crouching in front of the tombstones, carefully painting gold. It was very spectacular.
When Yu Jin gets tired of tracing, she will quietly peek at Jiang Muqing beside her with her peripheral vision.
Seeing her carefully painting the stone carvings one by one, even with gold and ink on her face, Yu Jin suddenly felt so beautiful, and for a moment she was in a trance.
It’s over, I’m a little excited.
