It was almost seven o'clock, and before his parents came back, Song Zhihong sat listlessly on the sofa, so depressed that he was about to go crazy. He thought that Xue Yan had regressed this time and could return to the third place in the grade, but who knew that Chen Wen had emerged and ascended from the eleventh grade to that position, he was still the fourth place in the grade.

It’s all because Li Kai is wrong. If you don’t have to do anything, you can do the first place. You can also lead a group of messy people to go up. You can see if you can find an opportunity and you must mess with you once. If you can’t mess with you, I’ll mess with your family and your followers.

"Have you eaten? Did your mother not come back?" Song Qi opened the door and entered the house, looked at Song Zhihong, and asked while changing his slippers.

Song Zhihong's mother Feng Yunmian is the director of the Ancheng Machinery Factory store department of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Now the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is undergoing market-oriented transformation, that is, implementing reforms with marketization as the characteristic and turning losses into profits as the goal, so they are very busy.

The Supply and Marketing Cooperative was established in 1950. It is an independent and unified system collective economic organization. It comprehensively leads the country's supply and marketing, consumption, handicrafts and other cooperatives. It was once the most coveted unit. Even if it is now so severely impacted by the market economy, an ordinary employee can still get more than 400.

What is even more enviable is its "internal priority". In the 1960s and 1970s, there was an extremely scarce material supply, and 90% of the things needed tickets, but even if you had corresponding industrial rolls, cloth tickets, cotton tickets, even cigarette tickets, and wine tickets, you might not be able to buy the corresponding things. Because the materials arrived, the internal personnel of the supply and marketing cooperative would give priority to internal purchases according to their own needs. Of course, the money tickets must be paid normally, otherwise it would be embezzled. In that era, corruption could be shot. Then there were relatives of employees and relatives of leaders, who could also purchase them first, and there was a surplus, so that they would put the counters in the supply and marketing cooperative store, facing the people, and leave them for ordinary people to compete.

At that time, supply and marketing cooperatives were everywhere, and eight major factories including Ancheng Machinery Factory set up a store in the living areas, which were usually with the grain shops belonging to the Grain Bureau. The employees of these two units were very angry and the first choice for young people of appropriate age to find a partner.

But now it is not possible. The market economy has had too great impact, and the materials are gradually abundant, and the operational monopoly of the supply and marketing cooperatives no longer exists. Ancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperatives have decided to gradually abolish some stores, and the stores of eight major factories are on the first batch of abolishment list.

Feng Yunmian has been dealing with the comfort and aftermath of the employees these days. She is easy to talk about. Her husband has helped her to ask someone. After the store department has abolished it, she returned to the municipal supply and marketing agency to be a deputy section-level leader, but it is difficult to get rid of the more than 30 employees under her.

"Let's cook some noodle soup." Song Qi said as he walked towards the kitchen, walked a few steps and turned to look at his depressed son, "Do you have something to do?"

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay." Song Zhihong was stunned for a moment and quickly answered.

Song Qi walked back and sat next to his son, "Oh, today's results are released, why? Didn't you do well in the exam?"

"It doesn't count, it's still the fourth in the grade." Song Zhihong said in a relaxed mood.

"No, there must be something wrong. Tell me, let's see if my dad can help you."

"Dad, you know there is a worker in our factory named Li Yan, the repairman in the fourth workshop."

"…I have a vague impression, why did he mess with you?"

"I...I heard that he often goes outside to repair machines for others... and earns extra money. Do you care about this kind of thing in the factory?" Song Zhihong gritted his teeth and said what he wanted to say.

"This kind of thing has always happened. It is normal for workers to use their rest time and their own technology to earn extra money. As long as they do not affect production and do not use the tools and materials in the factory, we will turn a blind eye."

"But his phone has been installed at home. It's not that he has reselled the factory's materials."

Song Qi was stunned. Can you install a phone at home? This is not simple.

"He...their children messed with you?"

"His son Li Kai has been slandering me in school, and now he is still slandering me with others, and he is so uncomfortable."

"Oh? How did he slander you?"

"It's... He relies on his good studies and looks down on me. He always talks bad things about me behind my back. Now the teachers have objections to me."

"Hmm? What bad things did he say about you?"

"That's it... I mean I'm stupid, I'm copying with good grades, and I'm not worthy of being the deputy class leader. I'm relying on my father as the deputy factory director to look down on the teacher, not abide by school discipline, etc... He also leads my classmates to isolate me."

"Oh, that child has good academic performance?" Song Qi asked his son.

“…Well, he…is the first in the grade.”

"Are also a class leader?"

“…He is the squad leader.”

Song Qi looked at Song Zhihong and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that his son was suppressed, and his academic performance or prestige in the class was suppressed by the other party. But things may not be as he said. His son was arrogant, proud and confident, and he did work hard, so he had never suffered any setbacks since childhood. Now he has lost one classmate one after another, which is a bit unbearable.

The competition between children is a legitimate competition. If you are not as skilled as others, you want to use improper means to suppress others. It is unreasonable. Moreover, it is difficult for you to be in the factory now. When the competition between the two sides reaches a critical moment, you will be able to reach the top of the sky, and if you lose, you will fall into dust. How can you care about such trivial matters? If you don’t let the other party catch the handle, you will not stop falling into dust, and you may be doomed.

And his son said that it is definitely not easy for the child to install a phone at home. You should know that private phones at home cannot be done with money. Although Li Yan is an ordinary worker on the surface, his relatives or friends may be people with status and status, so he must not cause trouble at this time.

"Zhihong, I roughly understand what the situation is. I'm sorry that Dad can't help you in this matter. You are still young, and it's not scary to fail. Get up and continue to work hard to move forward. You will always catch up with the other party. And when you grow up and enter society, you will encounter more competition. People are not omnipotent, there will always be one or several aspects that you can crush him. You can't move us out when you encounter some setbacks and bumps, then when will you truly grow up and independent?

And if you want to do things, use open conspiracies and less conspiracies. Someone once said, "There is a skill to make trouble, but it is also effective, but it is limited after all, so there has never been a successful person since ancient times. You must also remember this sentence, and fight for everything openly.

Calm down and think about what shortcomings you have compared with the other party, what advantages you have, what improvements you have, and how you have, and how you use your advantages. You always feel sad and sigh that you are useless.

Besides, there is no absolute reason and there is no way to deal with them. Let’s wait for the opportunity.”

“…Okay, I get it.”

"Be good at yourself and don't always worry about comparing with others. Don't you have good friends with classmates? How can you be isolated when you have a good relationship with them? By the way, isn't that girl Lin Feifei always coming to you to have fun with others and make progress together."

"Okay, dad, I'm hungry."

"Then I'll go cook."

Song Qi went to the kitchen, and Song Zhihong continued to be stunned.

OK, there is no reason, I will find a way to create a reason, and I will always teach you a lesson. If I can't mess with you, can't mess with you or those fox parties?

After the midterm exam, as usual, the school will usher in a grand event - the school sports meeting, and the time is set after Labor Day.

On May Day, Labor Day, it is legally necessary to have a day off, and it is Tuesday, so the school moved the class for next Monday to this Sunday. There are two consecutive days off on Labor Day, and the school sports meeting will be held at the end of the holiday.

The students were so happy that they had no classes for four consecutive days, so how could anyone be unhappy?

Really, Li Kai was in a very calm mood. He had the experience of having a seven-day holiday on Labor Day, and he really didn't look down on this mere two-day holiday.

Today is Saturday, and every class explains the midterm exam paper. Of course, Li Kai will be called to praise each class, like a human-shaped target.

After finally reaching the last self-study class, the class teacher assigned another task and signed up for the school sports meeting.

The school sports meet lasted two days, and all students in the school were divided into two groups for competitions, one group for grades 4, 5 and 6 of primary school, one group for grades 3, and one group for grades 1 to 3. The "Xiaodoubao" in grades 1 to 3 only serves as the audience outside the field. It turned out that these three ages would also be arranged to conduct sprint competitions. Later, a student was injured during the competition, which was still very serious. The subsequent school sports meets canceled the competitions of children of this age.

There will be high jump, long jump, shot put, 50 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 1,500 meters (women), 3,000 meters (men), and other events. There will be a 4×100 meters relay race, and there will be preliminaries in addition to long-distance running events.

Zhou Lei is a sports committee member and has a good reputation. Everyone is very enthusiastic about signing up, and there are not many places to participate. Except for the long-distance running event, the registration will be filled soon.

Long-distance running events refer to the 1,500-meter-long-distance running events for women and 3,000-meter-long men. This is a difficult project in history, and it is also a hard-line levy project for the school. At least two people must register for these two projects in each class.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lei was in a dilemma, Li Kai took the initiative to sign up. Seeing that the "brother" had signed up, Chang Dalong also raised his hand quickly, and was "pulled" by Li Kai. He had just recovered a little and dared to show off. He had to circle the playground for fifteen times, and he had just signed up for long jump, which was considered to be a contribution to the honor of the class.

Zhou Lei was bewitched for a long time before Liu Huichang raised his hand hesitantly, saying that he was a child of a farmer family and was healthy. Even if he couldn't get a ranking, he could still hold on.

There is much trouble for girls, and no one wants to suffer this "sin", and no one volunteers. There is no way out. Yang Jing and a girl named Zhang Xue were driven to the shelter, and the girls felt relieved.

As the organizer, Li Kai stood on the podium with Zhou Lei, and his eyes occasionally swept over Xue Yan. As the secretary of the Youth League Committee in the class, Xue Yan was always boring throughout the whole process. She was not active and did not encourage others to participate. In short, she was very low-key.

Li Kai felt that Xue Yan was inexplicable during this period. She rarely talked to her and no longer asked her questions. She did not participate in the off-campus "tutoring classes" and did not accept the exercise books she prepared for her. She seemed to have to draw a clear line with herself.

Could it be her mother's reason?

The task was completed and the bell rang just in time, and everyone scattered. Tomorrow, one day I will be able to let myself go, so I am very happy.

Li Kai asked Chang Dalong to go home first and prepare the dishes he would cook in the evening. He is now very interested in cooking, and under Li Kai's teachings, he can already cook several dishes independently.

Li Kai went outside the gate to buy a fire. After buying it, he was stopped by a few young men. The leader was a yellow-colored man, who didn't know him.

"Little brother, my brother has no money here, so I'll borrow some Huahuabei."
