I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 223: Wang Jianjun's Difficulties

As a day student, Yuan Xiu was not considered by the class committee.

On the first day, there were no proper classes all morning. We picked up textbooks, elected class officers, and did other miscellaneous things, and the morning just passed by like that.

Yuan Xiu ate lunch in the cafeteria with several female classmates.

Eight girls, each holding a newly issued lunchbox from the school.

"There are so many people, let's hurry up and join the queue."

Long queues formed outside several windows, and Liu Yazhi pulled Yuan Xiu to the back of the line.

"You guys go ahead and line up, I need to go to the cafeteria office."

"What are you going to the cafeteria office for?"

Boarding students received food coupons, meat coupons, and vegetable coupons from the school on the first day of enrollment, so everyone assumed that Yuan Xiu was the same.

After she explained, I realized that the food and oil supply for day students could not be transferred to the school.

When Yuan Xiu returned after exchanging her school food coupons, everyone bombarded her with questions: "You definitely won't have enough to eat for a month! What will you do when it runs out?"

Yuan Xiu laughed and said, "After you finish eating, go to a restaurant outside the school. Unlike you, I don't eat all three meals at school, so I don't use many food coupons a day. I can also bring food from home."

Liu Fang: "My lunch is cold by noon." She thought for a moment, "I'll ask the cafeteria staff if I can bring my lunchbox to the cafeteria to heat it up."

As the vice class monitor, Liu Fang learned about the difficulties her classmates were facing and immediately began to think of ways to solve them.

"Thank you, Vice Squad Leader." Yuan Xiu accepted the kindness.

"You're welcome. As a class committee member, this is what I should do," Liu Fang said with a smile.

There's no right or wrong answer; it depends on the person.

Since it was the first day of school, the school cafeteria had a good selection of dishes, including both meat and vegetables. Students used their meat and vegetable coupons to pay for their meals.

Yuan Xiu ordered a pork stew with vermicelli. The white rice was topped with tender and flavorful cabbage and vermicelli, and there were plenty of slices of meat. The chef's hands didn't shake at all, and he ladled out a big spoonful of vegetables and broth!

There are two kinds of staple food, steamed buns and rice. Yuan Xiu ate rice, which was soaked in soup and smelled delicious!

"The food prepared by our cafeteria chefs is really delicious!"

"It's really good, even better than my mom's!"

Classmates like to sit in groups. Not long after Yuan Xiu and her classmates sat down, class monitor Wang Jianjun also brought several classmates to sit down.

"Hey, squad leader, why didn't you get any meat dishes? The pork stew with vermicelli in the cafeteria is especially delicious." Zheng Yuemei craned her neck to look at the food in Wang Jianjun's lunchbox.

There was only one dish of stewed vegetables and tofu inside. He was a grown man, and he only bought one steamed bun. Steamed buns in the cafeteria weighed two ounces each. Other male students bought at least two, and some even bought three or four. Even Xia Yang, a minor, bought three steamed buns.

Wang Jianjun smiled and said, "I love tofu! I ate a lot this morning, so I'm not very hungry yet."

Zheng Yuemei wanted to say something more, but Liu Fang pulled her aside, signaling her not to ask.

After finishing their meal in the cafeteria, Zheng Yuemei immediately said, "I saw him this morning too. He only ate a two-ounce sesame seed cake and a bowl of free soup. Two ounces in the morning, and two ounces at noon too. He didn't eat any oil or fat. Our female students get 32 ​​jin of grain coupons per month, and the male students get 34 jin. They also have 15 meat coupons, which is enough for two days of meat and vegetables. He eats so little every day, he definitely can't use up all his grain and meat coupons. What does he do with all the coupons he saves from the school?"

"What else can I do? I'll save the money and try to exchange it for cash to send to my wife and children back in the countryside!"

Liu Fang sighed and said, "Our squad leader is going to the countryside in the Northwest, where conditions are extremely harsh. His wife is a local, and she's taking care of two children in the countryside. Just thinking about how difficult it is for a woman to raise two children is amazing. Our squad leader is studying in the city now, so he can't help with things at home. We have to find a way to help him out."

Liu Fang was sent to a harsh rural area, and she was also married. She was mature, knowledgeable, and understood Wang Jianjun's difficulties.

Although Zheng Yuemei was also an educated youth, the place she was sent to was in the relatively wealthy south, and her family was well-off. They often sent her food and drink. Apart from being tired during those years in the countryside, she didn't suffer much in terms of food.

At least it wasn't like the educated youth sent to the countryside in Northwest China, who had to conserve even water when they were hungry.

Tofu and green vegetables are rare treats that you get to eat only once in a while.

Zheng Yuemei fell silent. "It was something I hadn't considered, but I'm worried that this will affect the class monitor's health. How can he study if he's not healthy? As the class's life committee member, it's my responsibility to remind him!"

"You can offer reminders, but you have to be careful about how you do it. Don't ask in front of everyone. We're not the ones involved, so we can't truly understand his difficulties. If we say too much, it'll sound like we're asking, 'Why don't they eat cake?'"

Zheng Yuemei nodded.

Yuan Xiu never expected that the first person she would buy food coupons for at school would be her class monitor, Wang Jianjun.

On the third day of formal classes, Wang Jianjun found Yuan Xiu during a break and said, "Yuan Xiu, do you need the school's food and meat coupons? I can transfer some to you."

Yuan Xiu nodded: "Yes, we need to. How much does the class monitor plan to transfer?"

"Ten jin of grain coupons and ten meat coupons. Yuan Xiu, just give me the money at the market price." The market price Wang Jianjun mentioned was the price of grain and meat in the market.

Seeing Yuan Xiu remain silent, Wang Jianjun added, "If you think it's too much, you can make it according to your needs."

The number of day students at the school is very limited. Among the people Wang Jianjun knows, only Yuan Xiu needs a lot of food coupons. He can also transfer them to other students, such as those who have a large appetite but don't have enough food or those who want to eat more meat. However, it is only the first month of school and the beginning of the month. Everyone has a lot of coupons, and it is not easy for Wang Jianjun to transfer his coupons.

The school's food coupons are only valid for the current month, and you have to get a new one the following month. So if you want to transfer your coupons, you have to do it early. If no one wants them by the end of the month, you might end up with nothing.

Wang Jianjun needed the money and didn't want to "waste" it like that.

He thought of Yuan Xiu.

"That's not how it is," Yuan Xiu said. "I can take the ten catties of grain coupons and meat coupons, but are you sure you want to transfer that much to me?"

For Yuan Xiu, exchanging at school or with Wang Jianjun made no difference. Wang Jianjun only wanted money, not coupons, so Yuan Xiu still came out ahead.

She used the government subsidy to buy the food and meat coupons from Wang Jianjun, which was equivalent to enjoying a portion of the special government support for college students.

It will not affect her receiving the grain and meat coupons allocated to her by her place of household registration.

"I'm sure," Wang Jianjun nodded.

Yuan Xiu: It seems that Zheng Yuemei's reminder a couple of days ago did not have any effect on Wang Jianjun.
