After sending Jiang Qihuai away, Tao Zhi felt ashamed.
Tao Xiuping probably saw the pair of white sneakers when he came back, so he came to her room for a surprise inspection. She felt that she had acted flawlessly at that time, and there was nothing wrong with it.
And Tao Xiuping's reaction was also very natural, without revealing the slightest flaw, making it impossible for Tao Zhi to judge whether he knew about this matter or not.
If he really found out, then he should go directly to her room to find someone, but Tao Xiuping didn't. He asked a few words and then left calmly.
For a period of time afterwards, Tao Zhi had been secretly observing Tao Xiuping's reaction.
Lao Tao still had to do whatever he was supposed to do. After returning home, he had dinner, went to work, chatted with her and Ji Fan, but he didn't say a word about the incident of the size 43 white sneakers on Saturday.
Even when talking to him, Tao Zhi, he didn't insinuate about the progress of that little beast she had a crush on recently.
The enemy couldn't move there, but Tao Zhi couldn't help moving. During dinner, she put a shrimp into the bowl. She didn't want to get her hands dirty, so she poked the head of the shrimp with chopsticks and peeled it slowly. While peeling, he said casually: "Jiang Qihuai from our class participated in a national Olympic mathematics competition some time ago."
Hearing this, both Ji Fan and Tao Xiuping raised their heads.
Ji Fan rolled his eyes silently, thinking that this person used "our class" Jiang Qihuai instead of "our family's" and it was quite restrained.
"Yesterday our teacher said that it seems that he has got a very good grade," Tao Zhi continued, "the school will publicly praise him when the flag is raised on Monday."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Tao Xiuping, not letting go of any clues on his face.
Tao Xiuping nodded, showing an approving expression: "Then this kid is very good."
"..."
Tao Xiuping sighed, his eyes suddenly became far-reaching, and he began to think back to the past: "When I was in school, everyone was studying hard, so I didn't know what competition to participate in. If I participated in the past, I should have won the first place." Come back and play something."
Watertight.
Older gingers are more spicy.
Tao Xiuping is the real spy.
He is indeed a self-made man who has come from nothing to the present.
Tao Zhi bowed down.
After entering December, the weather became more and more cold. There was a light snowfall at the beginning of the month, and the body temperature felt like it dropped by two or three degrees almost every few days.
By mid-December, Tao Zhi's long johns were not very useful. She rummaged through the bottom of the closet to find the cotton trousers she wore in winter.
Girls at this age don't like to wear thick pants. Once the thickness increases, the legs will look bloated and unattractive.
Fortunately, the trousers of the school uniform are wide, so nothing can be seen.
Because of the approaching of Christmas, the class that was a bit dull, and revolved around exam papers and study every day, became active again.
Li Shuangjiang and Zhao Mingqi were severely punished by Wang Er before. They went to his office every day for a week to silently write mathematical formulas, but within half a month they stopped, and then they began to restlessly move around, ready to do something wrong.
Christmas Day is Thursday, and I have to go to school, so I can't go out to play, so I can only spend it at school.
On Christmas Eve the night before, Li Shuangjiang discussed with Tao Zhi whether to have some entertainment.
[Li Shuangjiang]: Christmas is just once a year!
Tao Zhi didn't understand his thinking, and typed: [Boss Li, all festivals in this world only come once a year.]
[Li Shuangjiang]: That's different. Isn't Christmas the second Children's Day
Tao Zhi thought about it, and it was the same reason.
In fact, she doesn't like these messy festivals very much. She might like to join in the fun when she was young, but she doesn't even want to join in the fun when she grows up.
Although Tao Xiuping would try his best to spend time with her on some very important traditional festivals, but there were also many times when he couldn't come back.
Tao Zhi ate mooncakes alone, ate Lantern Festival alone, set the alarm clock early in the morning by himself, got up when the sky was bright, then went out to the breakfast shop to buy two tea eggs and white rice dumplings wrapped in candied dates, and ran to the riverside Go outing and watch dragon boats.
Last year, she didn't even bother to leave this kind of sex, she just slept until noon, doing what she should do.
But Li Shuangjiang and Zhao Mingqi were very active, even Fu Xiling became active these days, and gave each of them an apple wrapped in beautiful colored paper the day before.
Apart from her, Jiang Qihuai was probably the only person who was not affected by the festive atmosphere at all.
With such calmness, Tao Zhi felt that he really deserved to be the man she fell in love with.
On Christmas Day, Tao Zhi brought a big bag to school besides his schoolbag.
Wang Juezi also obviously felt the restlessness of these children, and he was not so active in answering questions in class. After Li Shuangjiang turned to talk to Tao Zhi and Fu Xiling and was called to write two questions on the blackboard, Wang Juezi finally Put on a straight face: "You guys like to celebrate some foreign festivals, so what's so good about Christmas? It's someone else's New Year's Eve, not ours. Li Shuangjiang, you didn't have the right one on the blackboard, and you have today For the homework that was handed in, why don’t I save the half-width formula for you? Can you still get 140 in math like you are?”
Li Shuangjiang stood on the podium to be obedient, and when he turned around and came down, he made a face with his back to Wang Piaozi.
As usual, the last class was self-study. As soon as the bell rang, the class was half empty in an instant, and students from other classes followed in the corridor.
Li Shuangjiang and the others sat without moving, and when they turned around, they found that Tao Zhi had disappeared.
Li Shuangjiang: "Boss, we agreed to spend Christmas together."
"She went out to buy something," Ji Fan said, "Let you guys play for a while."
"Come on." Li Shuangjiang waited for everyone in the classroom to leave.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Qiming, who was in charge of monitoring the movement in the teacher's office, came in from the outside, stood at the door and saluted: "Report! The old king has withdrawn!"
Li Shuangjiang stood up eagerly, greeted Zhao Mingqi, and took out a lot of things from the belly of the table: "Old Zhao, work has started."
Basically, they are all small rags for decoration, colorful Christmas balls, small snowflakes made of broken foam glued to the plastic, and he pulled out small lanterns like strings of beads, and hung them around the blackboard.
They don't plan to go out to play this year, but spend Christmas in the classroom, saying that it will be more atmospheric.
Fu Xiling happened to be on duty today, and was in charge of asking the Disciplinary Committee for the class key. She was usually well-behaved, unlike those boys who made trouble every day, the Disciplinary Committee was very happy and gave it to her directly.
Fu Xiling and Jiang Zhengxun drew a big Q version of Santa Claus with colored chalk on the blackboard. Li Shuangjiang hung colorful balls on the air conditioner while turning his head. "Brother Fan, stick snowflakes on the window."
Ji Fan put away his mobile phone, glanced at the person sitting next to him, pointed his finger, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you let him do the work?"
Li Shuangjiang didn't look back, and waved his hands, very charismatic: "Brother Huai, you're here, let's do some work."
Ji Fan walked to the window with a bag of snowflakes in his hand, and raised his eyebrows at him: "At the same table, help me?"
Jiang Qihuai: "..."
When Tao Zhi came back, the classroom was almost set up.
The eyes are full of red and white, and there is a small Christmas tree on the podium, covered with pine cones and colorful light strings.
Tao Zhi was carrying two bags in her hand, which seemed heavy. She put the bags on the table with a "bang" and started to take things out.
A box of frozen fish balls, a box of shrimp dumplings, two large boxes of mutton rolls and fatty beef rolls, luncheon meat, crab sticks, a bag of red shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, fat beef powder, quick-frozen shrimp paste, bean skin, and a large Chinese cabbage.
Hot pot base, mahjong dipping sauce, chili oil, and disposable tableware and cups.
A group of people just watched her dig out like a magic trick. Finally, Tao Zhi walked to his desk, slipped out the bag at the corner of the desk, and took out an electric frying pan and a very Long drag strip.
Everyone: "..."
Li Shuangjiang was dumbfounded: "Boss, this is what you said to eat last night, you prepare it?"
Tao Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at him as a matter of course: "It's winter, what can you eat if you don't eat hot pot?"
Jiang Qihuai never thought that Tao Zhi would directly bring the hot pot to the classroom, he thought she would order takeaway or something at most.
The only one who knew, Ji Fan, had put together several desks, spread a layer of disposable tablecloths, and pulled the power strip over to plug in the electricity.
Tao Zhi poured the large bottle of mineral water into it, took apart the bottom of the hot pot, pointed at the Chinese cabbage on the table and looked at Jiang Qihuai: "Don't be idle, go and wash the cabbage."
"..."
Jiang Qihuai was silent for a while, and he picked up the Chinese cabbage obediently.
Brother Huai washes the cabbage!
Brother Huai washes Chinese cabbage!
Li Shuangjiang was full of interest, and immediately raised his hands and said positively: "I will go too!"
At this moment, there was no one in the teaching building, and the water room was quiet. Li Shuangjiang watched Jiang Qihuai tear off the cabbage leaves and wash them one by one, and then put them in the clean bag next to him. He was skillful and quick , as if he did it often.
Li Shuangjiang watched in amazement.
When they came back from washing, the hot pot was already on fire, and the spicy and delicious smell hit the nose, overflowing the whole classroom.
Tao Zhi dragged a chair and sat down at the table. Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw Jiang Qihuai carrying a bag of cabbage. He patted the seat next to him with a smile: "Come and grab some meat."
Jiang Qihuai walked over, put down the cabbage in his hand, and sat beside her.
Because he had to go to class the next day, and he had to restrain himself even if he was in school, Zhao Mingqi went to buy Coke and orange juice and poured them glass by glass.
Fu Xiling put all the fish balls and shrimp dumplings bought by Tao Zhi into the pot, halfway through eating, night fell.
One light was turned off, and the strings of lights arranged in the classroom in the night looked like little stars falling, snowflakes stuck to the window one by one, and Santa Claus had a big smiling face hidden under his white beard.
In the classroom, Jiang Zhengxun and Zhao Mingqi were fighting for the fat cow in the pot. Their disposable chopsticks were hanging above the pot and they were playing chess.
Li Shuangjiang took out his mobile phone and played a Christmas song, then he raised a disposable paper cup filled with Coke and stood up: "Brothers, for our passing youth."
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were bright.
There is a blackboard in front, and desks next to it. Looking out from the window is the familiar campus where I have lived and studied for more than a year. In front of him, the spicy hot pot was bubbling and bubbling on the shared desk.
This strange feeling made everyone excited, and Zhao Mingqi also stood up, holding his cup high: "For basketball!"
"A sports idiot like you can think of something other than basketball every day?" Jiang Zhengxun said seriously, "We want to work for everyone's future dreams."
Fu Xiling took a sip of the fruit juice, and then said slowly and solemnly, "For the college entrance examination."
Ji Fan laughed "Puff" from the side: "You said you were a nerd, why do you take the college entrance examination at this time?"
Fu Xiling seldom showed her emotions. She looked at him and nodded, and said with some disgust: "You don't understand, anyway, you're only doing it for Demacia."
"He will also give him 20 points for mathematics." Zhao Mingqi said.
"I still have 50 points in English." Li Shuangjiang nodded.
Ji Fan was not happy: "Okay, you guys, why are you still attacking other people's grades? The most basic moral of being a human being is not to attack personally, do you understand?"
Li Shuangjiang laughed out loud, and Jiang Zhengxun laughed so hard that he fell to the side and patted the table.
Ji Fan was even more annoyed, and stretched his chopsticks towards them: "Everyone is equal before the hot pot, if we have the ability, we will see the truth in the hot pot, whoever can grab the meat is the real one."
Several people responded immediately and threw themselves into a new round of battle. Li Shuangjiang rolled up his sleeves: "Come on! If I don't grab the last piece of meat today, I will be your grandson!"
On the other side, the boys bickered with each other sentence by sentence, and a few pairs of chopsticks fought for the fish balls and fat beef in the pot, killing swords and swords.
Childish too blind to see.
Tao Zhi rolled his eyes, put down the cup, and continued to eat the cabbage leaves in the plastic bowl. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cold, white and slender hand stretching out from the side. A little touch.
The mouths of the cups collided where their lips would touch, Tao Zhi was stunned, biting a vegetable leaf and turning his head away.
Jiang Qihuai also tilted his head, his eyelashes slightly raised.
Under the influence of such an atmosphere, the cold shell on his body was slightly removed, and the whole person looked a little more youthful and lively, and the bright streamer reflected by the string of colored lights was hidden in the shallow pupils.
He looked at her, his voice was low, with a slight delusion-like tenderness: "For us Zhizhi."
