Han Jingjing was speechless, and her heart was inevitably shaken.
Could it be that Jiang Yue was right?
In her consistent understanding, such a cute and fluffy pet must be used for petting.
If you don't want to pet a pet, how can you call it a pet?
But all the doting on this little thing resulted in lukewarm alienation and unscrupulous trouble. It seemed that the little thing didn't particularly appreciate it, nor was he very close to her because of her doting.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue, who has always been cruel to him, this little thing obviously has a sense of flattery. Even if Jiang Yue ignores it, it has no regrets and wants to act cute in front of Jiang Yue whenever it finds an opportunity. Opportunities are forced to be created, and one has to kneel down and lick them.
Sure enough, the world is so hot and cold, can such a little thing bully the weak and fear the strong?
"Okay, Jingjing, don't worry about it anymore. You should take care of this stinky thing for me. Listen to me and don't be too polite to it. I will give you a word, try not to beep when you can do it."
With that said, Jiang Yue tossed the little spirit seed casually and it fell into Han Jingjing's hands.
Han Jingjing blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, wanting to refuse out of anger, but as soon as she saw that little thing's seemingly innocent eyes, her heart melted on the spot.
"Jiang Yue, are you going to school today?"
"I plan to go take a look. I wonder how Fei Fei and the others are doing now?"
Jiang Yue still values the friendship between classmates in school.
"Are you going?"
"I want to go to the capital, but Mr. Bai persuaded me to stay in Star City. I'm so confused now. Jiang Yue, do you think I should go to the capital?"
Although she learned that there was nothing wrong with her father, after all, father and daughter were connected. Han Jingjing especially wanted to be by her father's side at this time.
Even if she couldn't solve any practical problems and just stayed with her father, that would be good.
But the journey from Xingcheng to Beijing is thousands of miles, and even by plane, there is a lot of trouble along the way. Moreover, the situation in Star City is so complicated now, and it is really inconvenient for a girl like her to travel thousands of miles.
Although the old Han family has a strong foundation in Star City, it is obviously impossible to say how many people will be sent to escort her to the capital.
Jiang Yue understood Han Jingjing's thoughts from her eyes.
"Jingjing, isn't your fourth uncle still in Star City? Maybe you can ask for his opinion." Jiang Yue couldn't say much about the old Han family's family affairs.
"Mr. Bai said that my fourth uncle is also in a very difficult situation now. If I bother him at this time, it will only add to his troubles."
"Then don't go to the capital for the time being. The Lord in Charge will definitely return to Star City anyway, and it probably won't take too long. The current situation in Star City doesn't allow him to take a long leave of absence. In fact, you can't help much if you go to the capital now. On the contrary, it is easy for the ruler to be distracted."
Han Jingjing was originally hesitant, but after hearing Jiang Yue's analysis, her thoughts about going to the capital suddenly faded away.
"You're right, I can't help you much, so try not to cause trouble."
"Let's go to school together?"
"Okay!" Han Jingjing smiled charmingly and didn't mention anything about returning to sleep.
After six years of studying at Yangfan Middle School, my habits have been deeply formed. I haven't been to school for a few days, and I feel really worried.
Compared with before they went to the ecological park, Star City was obviously much more depressed and deserted.
Almost every intersection is guarded by armed personnel with live ammunition.
And these armed personnel are not from the military.
Every time the two of them passed an intersection, someone came forward to question them. Some of their attitudes were quite friendly, while others were simply arrogant.
Ordinarily, Han Jingjing, the daughter of a dignified Xingcheng ruler, has some privileges due to her status and martial law.
But at this juncture, Han Jingjing didn't want to identify herself, let alone ask for trouble.
If some ignorant bastard makes some sarcastic remarks, Han Jingjing cannot afford to lose this person.
However, Jiang Yue was very adaptable. After being questioned at several intersections, he simply avoided the intersection and took Han Jingjing through various alleys.
With their status as awakened beings, it is not difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of these armed men.
After all, there are only one or two people at each intersection. After all, the so-called martial law cannot keep an eye on them all the time.
With a little effort and enough agility, it's not difficult to avoid these eyes and ears, it just takes a little more time.
When Jiang Yue and the others showed up at Yangfan Middle School, the school was also much deserted.
The number of students who originally stayed in school has actually decreased by two-thirds.
There are also many fewer teachers in left-behind schools.
Except for those teachers who have average conditions and live in school dormitories, those teachers who have properties in Star City basically no longer come to school.
Even the originally most united security team has been reduced by half.
Yangfan Middle School, which was originally full of vitality, now has an inexplicable depression, like a pool of stagnant water, lifeless and without any sign of life.
Han Jingjing was extremely surprised and murmured: "It has only been a few days, why has it suddenly changed like this? Is this still the Yangfan Middle School we are familiar with?"
The appearance of the two of them was like a stone thrown into a pool of stagnant water, causing a lot of splashes and ripples.
The school leadership was also alarmed.
The principal came out to greet them in person. When he saw Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing, the principal strode up and held Jiang Yue's hand tightly, with an expression on his face that he was finally back.
That posture gave Han Jingjing almost an illusion, like the feeling of a left-behind child seeing his parents return home after a year's absence.
Deputy Director Shao, who was behind the principal, exclaimed: "Classmate Jiang Yue, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have you here."
Han Jingjing pouted: "The director is so partial. You are only looking forward to Jiang Yue. It seems that I am not welcome?"
Only then did Deputy Director Shao realize that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Jingjing is also someone we have been waiting for. I missed it, blame me."
Jiang Yue was speechless for a moment.
Deputy Director Shao is usually a serious person, why is he so unserious?
"Principal, what happened? Is everyone okay?"
"Sit in my office."
The principal was not in a hurry to say anything, but warmly invited Jiang Yue to sit in his office.
Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing looked at each other with worries on their faces.
However, the principal has spoken, so this bit of face still has to be given.
When he arrived at the principal's office, Deputy Director Shao was serving tea and water. It was obvious that he had placed his position very low, and he didn't have the airs of a director like before.
"Principal, I see that the primary school is quite deserted? Where have all the people gone?"
The principal did not answer Jiang Yue's question directly, but glanced at Han Jingjing meaningfully.
"Jiang Yue, you should know the situation in Star City, right? The official changes in Star City have affected every corner of Star City. Our school has also been affected."
"What does this have to do with the school? Could it also involve the school? Isn't this too crazy?" Han Jingjing had been depressed. When she heard that the official struggle in Star City actually involved Yangfan Middle School, she suddenly exploded.
Jiang Yue was relatively calm.
When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.
The changes in Star City will inevitably affect every corner of Star City.
School is not a foreign place, and it is naturally not exempt from customs.
"We originally had about a thousand students staying at the school, but now there are only more than 200. Those who stayed basically have no place to go, and the school has no choice but to take them in. Those who have a place to go have been sent away. Those who should go home have returned. Home, no matter how far away..."
"Dismissal? Dismissal at this time, doesn't it make them desperate? If I remember correctly, those who were originally detained were all dormitory students, right? Their homes are far away from Star City, right? Can they get home safely at this time? Isn’t it unfair to them to do this?”
After all, Han Jingjing was the daughter of the ruling daughter of Star City. Even in front of the principal, she didn't have to hide it. She just said what she wanted to say.
Of course, Han Jingjing would rarely show such intense emotions in normal times.
The principal and Deputy Director Shao just smiled bitterly and did not become angry because of Han Jingjing's words.
"Jingjing, if the school has a choice, it will definitely not give up any student. You also know that the school is helpless. With more than 200 students, the school can barely maintain it. How long can we maintain it? The school authorities are also completely clueless.”
"Why? Are the higher-ups not allowing students to stay in school?"
The principal shook his head: "It's not that it's not allowed. It seems that you have just come back and don't know much about the situation in Star City. Today's Star City has martial law on the roads and a food distribution system. Our school originally stocked a lot of food. , with more than a thousand people staying behind, they can definitely hold on for a month. But now... the food hoarded by our school has been requisitioned as a whole, and is now distributed in quotas. Our school supplies one hundred kilograms of rice, fifty kilograms of meat, and fifty kilograms of meat every day. Vegetables, oil and salt are also allocated in quotas. Think about it, with more than 200 mouths, this quota must be very tight. The current situation is difficult. "
Deputy Director Shao added: "Now each student can barely make enough food and clothing. Moreover, I heard that our school's share will be halved in a week. By then, even if we want to retain these students, we will be unable to Can’t keep it.”
Since ancient times, there will be chaos if there is no food.
Jiang Yue never expected that what caused Yangfan Middle School to collapse so quickly was not a strange incident, but a food problem.
Although Jiang Yue had pondered this issue before, he never expected that this day would come so quickly.
It is said that the Central and South Region is also a major grain-producing region, and there is even a saying that "if Central and South China is ripe, the world will have enough".
Normally, food supply would definitely be a problem, but it wouldn't come so quickly or suddenly, right?
Is this food control and quota distribution policy a temporary measure adopted by Star City, or is it a policy of the entire Da Zhang Country?
The principal actually couldn't explain this question clearly.
Nowadays, communication facilities are interrupted in various ways, and information reception is extremely difficult. Even if the school has actively tried to mediate many things, it is still just a school, a non-real power unit.
In the sunshine era, the principal may still have some say and exert some energy.
In strange times, the principal heads the ball?
Who needs to sell the principal's face?
The food issue is indeed a very serious issue.
If it is not solved well, trouble will inevitably occur.
But Jiang Yue is a little confused. I can't solve the food problem. Why did the principal see me as if he was meeting the great savior?
Are you trying to dig a hole for me?
But since the principal didn't mention it, Jiang Yue was happy to pretend to be stupid.
"By the way, Teacher Sun is still at school, right?" Jiang Yue changed the subject.
"Haha, Old Sun, he is still in school. As a comrade, he has a good consciousness. After this incident, he personally donated 300 kilograms of rice, flour, grain and oil to the school, setting a good example for teachers and students. Ah." Speaking of Teacher Sun, the principal's solemn old face rarely showed some brilliance.
Jiang Yue knew that Lao Sun had hoarded food and supplies, and it was Jiang Yue who reminded him.
"Teacher Sun's food has not been allocated as a whole?"
"In principle, food from private households will not be requisitioned. The requisition target is only for major units, enterprises, merchants, etc."
"I see."
This makes sense.
If you break into a private home to requisition food, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to setting off a firecracker on a powder keg, and it will definitely cause a big explosion.
If you don't move in your private home, you can at least maintain temporary stability.
Once private homes are invaded to requisition food, it means that the entire society has completely bid farewell to normal order, and will be replaced by chaos, bloody conflicts, and irreversible disasters...
Jiang Yue stood up: "Principal, excuse me, I want to go see Teacher Sun."
Deputy Director Shao said hurriedly: "Teacher Sun is fine, you can rest assured. If you are worried, I can go and invite Teacher Sun over. You guys have tea first. The principal has not seen you for a few days and wants to have a good chat with you. .”
"I mainly went to visit Xia Xia. She had an evil accident a few days ago, and I wanted to see if she was doing better. As for the principal, can I come back and visit you later?"
Jiang Yue became more and more suspicious. There must be some reason why the principal was eager to see him.
At this time, Jiang Yue didn't want to involve too many causes and effects that had little to do with him.
For example, although Jiang Yue was concerned about the food issue, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a Holy Mother and do something big.
When the principal saw that Jiang Yue insisted on visiting Teacher Sun first, he couldn't forcefully stop him.
He smiled generously at that moment: "Old Shao, Jiang Yue is the student of Old Sun. Over the years, we have developed a deep relationship. It is a very reasonable request for people to ask to see their mentor first. Jiang Yue, do you want me to accompany you? Will you go there together?"
"No need to trouble the principal."
Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing left the office and went straight to Lao Sun's house amid the wry smiles on the faces of the principal and deputy director Shao.
Lao Sun was reading picture books at home with Xia Xia. When they saw Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing, both father and daughter were full of surprise.
As soon as Jiang Yue entered the house, he saw that the house full of food items that Lao Sun had hoarded was reduced by two-thirds, and there was not much left.
The teacher probably saw Jiang Yue's confusion and said with a wry smile: "Last time Xia Xia's mother made such a fuss, the whole world knew that the family had hoarded supplies. If I don't donate most of it, you will ask for it today, and he will ask for it tomorrow." Come and borrow it, it's like a weasel borrowing a chicken, and you will never come back. I might as well donate it to the school, and it can be a good honor and make a small contribution to the students."
