Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: I Think You’re Uneasy at Heart

The night school’s class ended today, and without a doubt, Jiang Cheng had become the teachers’ favorite student, without exception.

After class, everyone packed up their desks.

Zhang Cuijuan, with the demeanor of an old cadre, walked over to Jiang Cheng holding a duty roster.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng, you’re staying to clean today."

"No problem."

Jiang Cheng agreed with a smile, not a hint of reluctance.

This willingness made Zhang Cuijuan a bit uncomfortable, but she couldn’t find any fault with it.

Should she say the other party was too eager? Too cooperative?

Jiang Cheng put away his backpack and looked at Zhang Cuijuan’s duty roster.

"Comrade Zhang, could you write my name down? This way you won’t have to keep reminding me, and it won’t disrupt your study."

In other words, don’t keep watching me for nothing!

Zhang Cuijuan’s expression wasn’t great, but she claimed to be doing things impartially, so she wrote Jiang Cheng’s name down.

After writing it down, Zhang Cuijuan, slightly authoritarian and addicted to her official role, said, "Make sure you clean well."

"If Comrade Zhang is so concerned, why not stay and supervise us?"

Zhang Cuijuan, who enjoyed her authoritative role, was indeed a bit tempted.

"But like you, Comrade Zhang, a progressive comrade surely couldn’t just watch her like-minded classmates work without doing anything. The instructors always say to be part of the mass populace..."

Jiang Cheng droned on.

Zhang Cuihua didn’t dare to listen anymore.

Jiang Cheng had already suggested she stay voluntarily every day.

Who wants to stay every day!

Zhang Cuijuan hit a wall and then hurriedly ran off.

Very soon, there were only four people left in the classroom, and everyone cleaned together.

As they neared finishing, Sun Jiandong, who thought himself handsome, blocked Jiang Cheng’s way.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang Cheng, I’m Sun Jiandong. You must have heard my name."

Jiang Cheng first stepped back three steps, maintaining a safe distance of more than a meter.

"Sun Jiandong? Could Comrade Sun be our class monitor?"

Sun Jiandong said irritably, "No!"

"Oh—-you must be the study committee member?"

"No!"

"The best student?"

"No!"

"The fastest runner?"

"No!"

"Could it be the one who eats the most?"

"Pfft!"

"Cough cough!"

The three classmates cleaning couldn’t hold their laughter any longer.

Sun Jiandong’s face turned red, eyes glaring daggers at Jiang Cheng.

"You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?"

Jiang Cheng retreated two more steps, it’s safer to stay further from angry people.

"Comrade Sun, you said I should know you, but the fact is I don’t even know your name. I think you should self-reflect instead of confronting me, asking why you don’t have a single shining attribute?"

"In our new era, born under the red flag and growing in the spring breeze, we might not aim to save the world, but we seek to develop a skill. The organization and the collective spent significant resources for your study, to allow you to learn and serve the motherland, to build character and responsibility, to be honest and uphold family values."

"But you, a fully capable man, can’t even fulfill the basics. After death, the only thing your epitaph could read is ’son of so-and-so,’ is this what you want?"

Jiang Cheng’s righteous words struck a chord, awakening several people.

Even slightly filled them with a rush of blood.

This is an era filled with passion!

And also the best time to put up a big pretense!

Sun Jiandong felt the shame of being taught by his grandfather, and his initially casual stance subconsciously changed.

But awkwardly didn’t want to admit Jiang Cheng was right, standing twisted blocking the door.

Jiang Cheng, with a backpack, looked at Sun Jiandong and said meaningfully, "If you need to go to the bathroom, just go."

Sun Jiandong: ??

Sun Jiandong’s face burned, long having forgotten his original purpose, now only feeling like he lost face.

"Jiang Cheng, I’ve got my eyes on you! You wait and see!"

Sun Jiandong ran off.

"Ah—look at how this kid is holding it in."

A certain off-duty registration worker glanced familiarly. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
