"Okay, everyone is here." Cao Xiong, the head of the family, picked up the chopsticks, "Let's eat."
As he moved, other talents also picked up chopsticks.
Breakfast is different from lunch and dinner, because everyone's time in the morning is different, and it is always the first who comes first. Today, in order to wait for Xiarou, she still didn't move.
In her previous life, Xia Rou felt disrespected because no one came back for her dinner the first night, so she got angry and didn't come for breakfast the next day, but she didn't know that everyone...was waiting for her here.
Yes, they are actually very busy people. Sometimes things come and you can't get away, isn't it a normal thing? In fact, no one ever underestimated her. She has always been preoccupied with finding a sense of presence in such trivial matters. In fact, the only person who really despises her is herself!
"Xiao Rou's sitting posture..." Cao Bin glanced at Xia Rou and smiled, "It really looks like a member of our family, as if he has received military training."
The men all looked at Xia Rou. Xia Rou's back is straight and her shoulders are upright. If she hadn't been born with thin shoulders and a thin waist, her sitting posture is indeed a bit like the one trained by the Cao family.
Cao Xiong didn't remember Xia Rou sitting like this before, after all Xia Rou always avoided him. But he has been in the army for many years, and his son was trained as a soldier. Looking at Xia Rou's standard and upright sitting posture, he felt very pleasing to the eye and nodded.
"What grade are you in?" Cao Bin asked.
Xia Rou tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks: "The third day of junior high school, the high school entrance examination is over."
"Hey, shouldn't I be promoted to high school?" Cao Bin said.
Cao Xiong glanced at Xia Rou: "Which high school do you want to go to?"
At this time, it was not long before the end of the high school entrance examination, and the high school admission notice had not yet been issued. But Xia Rou is a reborn person. Knowing the future, she answered carefully: "The admission letter hasn't been issued yet, but the results have come out... I think it should be the Seventeenth High School."
Mentioning this, I couldn't help blushing slightly: "I'm stupid, and I've never been very good at studying..."
If Xia Rou had to admit her stupidity and mediocrity in front of the Cao family in her previous life, she would definitely be extremely embarrassed. But after she died once, her heart became clear.
To cover up in front of these truly excellent people, in their eyes is the real stupidity!
I am not afraid of being stupid, but I am afraid of not knowing myself. Worse than not knowing yourself is pretending to be smart without knowing yourself! That's really big/troublesome.
The little girl was at the age of adolescence when she wanted to save face, and she admitted that she was stupid with clear eyes, which made the men of the Cao family feel good about her.
Cao Bin's eyes became more sincere, and he rubbed his chin and pondered: "Seventeenth Middle School..."
Cao Xiong said to him directly: "Go to your uncle and change Xiaorou's school." After a pause, he said: "Let's go to Nanhua."
Nanhua High School, a well-known key high school in the city. Although it is a public school, it has the title of "Noble School". Because most of the students who study are either rich or expensive.
In the previous life, at least half a month had passed, Lao Zhou went to the apartment to help Xia Rou pack up the remaining things and brought back the admission notice, and Cao's family finally paid attention to her schooling.
At that time, Cao Xiong also said the same thing, and asked Cao Yang to find his uncle who worked in the education department, and wanted to change her to Nanhua.
As a result, she encountered fierce opposition!
At that time...why was the brain so awkward
How many students and parents can't ask for a better school, or a well-known good school like Nanhua!
What was she thinking then? On the one hand, it has something to do with my young age. I feel very ashamed in my heart when I face this kind of redistribution of power and possession of resources for the first time. On the other hand, she felt that with her own ability, she could only be admitted to a school like the Seventeenth Middle School, but the Cao family wanted to get her to Nanhua, which is known for its elite education, like a hot mockery of her.
At that time, it was not Cao Bin who did this, but Cao Yang.
Holding the chopsticks, Xia Rou vaguely recalled Cao Yang's frowning at that time. He is used to being a big brother. He has three monkey-like younger brothers, and his patience has long been tempered. Facing the fifteen-year-old young and stubborn Xia Rou, even in the end, she didn't lose her temper.
But let’s forget about going to Nanhua. Xia Rou still went to the Seventeenth Middle School. This is an ordinary school, with an average style of study and even worse school spirit. Xia Rou held her breath, she had really worked hard for three years, and in the end she only passed three exams.
In front of the elite children of those powerful families who have contacts with the Cao family, they have never been ashamed to mention their school.
"...we all graduated from Nanhua,...it is indeed very good... Xia Rou, Xia Rou?"
Xia Rou came back to her senses and heard Cao Bin ask her: "What do you think? Or is there any other school you want to go to?" Compared with Cao Xiong's orderly designation of Nanhua, Cao Bin is much more considerate. Will know to ask Xia Rou for her own opinion.
Looking back on her past life these days, Xia Rou realized that she had made countless stupid choices. This time, she decided not to commit the same stupidity again.
"Nanhua... I heard it's very strict?" She bit her lip and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up..."
The little girl had white cheeks and a pointed chin. The lips are a pale pink that lacks the color of blood, and some blood color comes out after such a bite.
Cao Bin was a little more gentle. He smiled and said, "It's okay, isn't it just the summer vacation? Review carefully before school starts. Then Nanhua? Don't think about anything else?"
"Yeah!" Xia Rou nodded heavily, "I will study carefully!" She tried her best not to embarrass the Cao family.
Compared with adulthood, the voice of a girl is softer. The fifteen-year-old girl nodded solemnly, and sincerely regards this matter as a big deal, this... is so cute!
Even Cao Xiong took an extra look at her.
The three brothers even had a tacit understanding that having such a little sister at home... feels... pretty good.
Not as much trouble as imagined.
The third child, Cao Xing, stared straight at Xia Rou. Cao Yang looked at his third brother with wrong eyes, afraid that he would scare Xia Rou, so he coughed and raised his eyebrows at him: "Eat!"
Only then did Cao Xing restrain himself a bit, and drank his porridge in suspense.
Xia Rou was not frightened, she knew very well what happened to Cao Xing.
Third brother, he...
Thinking of Cao Xing, Xia Rou couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling slightly. There was a curve in the black eyes.
The Cao family only thought that she was so happy to be able to go to Nanhua, and felt that the little girl had no city and couldn't hide things in her heart.
The Cao family these days, because of Cao Xiong's depressed mood, the low pressure has been pervasive for several days, making people feel uncomfortable even eating. With the little girl's smile, I suddenly felt that my father's low pressure had dissipated a lot. With this smile, everyone ate an extra Hanamaki!
fine!
Xia Rou didn't know which box the junior high school textbooks were packed into, or if they were brought to Cao's house, but she searched hard during the day but couldn't find them. He thought maybe he left it in the apartment and didn't bring it here, so he could only pick it up when Uncle Zhou went back with her when he was free.
Cao Xiong wasn't there for dinner, so the three brothers ate with Xia Rou.
Cao Bin said to her: "I'm leaving tomorrow, if you need anything, don't be shy, just tell them both." As he spoke, he raised his chin at Cao Yang and Cao Xing.
"Well, okay." Xia Rou asked, "Are you going back to work?"
"Yeah, I work for the Hushi Municipal Government, and I usually live there. These two days... come back to see my dad." He said. It didn't say that because of Cheng Wan's death, Cao Xiong was in a very bad condition, so he came back because he was worried.
"It's okay, he's not here and I'm here." Cao Xing said with a smile, "Just tell me if you have anything to do." Xia Rou could feel that he was in a particularly good mood today.
"Yeah." She nodded to show she understood.
Cao Yang didn't say anything, but glanced at his brothers.
The little girl is quite cute, and people don't hate it. If she can make these two people who hate dogs take care of her, she has the ability, he thought.
Xia Rou went back to her room, sorted out her clothes, and found that there was not enough to wear.
After all, she is a fifteen-year-old young girl, most of her clothes are bright and delicate colors, and there are only a few plain ones. After the mother's death, those brightly colored dresses were out of place.
She took out her laptop, connected to the WIFI in the annex, and opened the interface of the shopping website. She couldn't help thinking of this time in her previous life, also in this room, and also on this shopping website, she clicked the mouse angrily, and bought a bunch of black dresses online.
After a pause, she skipped over those brightly colored ones and those black ones, and chose a few plain dresses.
As soon as I placed my order, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Me." The outsider said, "Cao Xing."
Xia Rou: "..."
I'm coming! she thinks. Earlier than the previous life!
Walk over and open the door, and what you see is a big stuffed bear half the height of a person!
Sure enough, it came! This bear boy!
Cao Xing grinned, showing his big white teeth and said with a smile: "Hey, I had something to do yesterday, so I didn't make it in time. I'll make it up to you today, a welcome gift!"
Really
Xia Rou also learned to remain calm: "Thank you."
I reached out to pick it up, but didn't pick it up.
Xia Rou: "..."
It took a little more force to pull Xiong Zai from Cao Xing's hand. Cao Xing's hand was suddenly empty, and he subconsciously grabbed it twice, feeling quite disappointed.
Xia Rou is amused in her heart. He hugged the bear, tilted his head and said, "It's so cute, I like it very much. Thank you brother Cao Xing."
It's not that she pretended to be tender and cute on purpose. The bear cub was half as tall as a man, and Cao Xing, who was tall and burly in his arms, didn't show much. Xia Rou was only as tall as Cao Xing's shoulders, hugging the bear, Cao Xing couldn't see her unless she tilted her head.
The little girl hugged the big bear, tilted her head, said thank you in a girly and tender voice, and called her brother...
Cao Xing didn't even want to leave.
"Cough." With a fake face, "It's just as long as you like it."
His eyes linger between Xia Rou and Xiong Zai...
"Well, I like it." Xia Rou said.
I really like it!
In the past few days of her rebirth, all kinds of memories surged, and almost all the memories she could recall were those that made her regretful and depressed. Only when I opened the door and saw this bear cub, those beautiful and happy memories began to revive.
In two lifetimes, she had this bear. Xia Rou likes it very much.
Looking up at Cao Xing who looked like an iron tower, his eyebrows and eyes could not help but curl up.
Why! This is much cuter than having tears in your eyes!
Cao Xing finally couldn't control the itching of his hands, stretched out his big bear paw, and rubbed the girl's head. Worrying about being abrupt, she peeked at Xia Rou, only to find that she had closed her eyes, as if she liked it very much.
Why! It's such a joy!
"As long as you like it, I will buy a lot for you in the future!" Cao Xing began to promise.
"Really?" Xia Rou asked with narrowed eyes. Is it really for her
Cao Xing didn't know that Xia Rou knew about Lao Di'er long ago, and he swore: "Of course!"
The probe saw a few open boxes in her room, and said, "Okay, pack your things, I'm going back."
Then, he rubbed Xia Rou's head again.
Before leaving, he finally couldn't control the prehistoric power in his body, so he pretended to rub it inadvertently... Xiong Zai!
Enough is enough, you fuzzy!
