On a rainy night, the pouring rain drenched Zhou Xiu's body.
She was waiting for her patron, the cold wind poured into her neck, and the girl's lips turned white tremblingly.
She is like a stubborn but ordinary weed in the corner, dressed so thinly that people passing by can't help but look at her in surprise.
But she still doesn't want to hide in KFC to blow on the heat.
The rain poured into her poor-quality plastic shoes, and the girl was carrying a heavy snakeskin bag, thin clothes, and thin shoulders.
Everything about her seems out of tune with this bustling metropolis.
At this time, a black car slowly stopped in front of her.
A middle-aged woman walked out of the car holding an umbrella. Her makeup was as exquisite as that of the people on TV. The moment the woman saw the girl, there was a hint of surprise on her indifferent face.
"Zhou Xiu? Get in the car."
Xi's mother's eyes fell on the urea snakeskin bag Zhou Xiu was carrying.
Zhou Xiu was suddenly embarrassed, and her lips trembled as she explained: "This is... a little thought from my parents."
Zhou Xiu is not tall, at most 1.6 meters, but the snakeskin bag she is carrying seems to be taller than her, which looks ridiculous.
Some time ago, Xi's mother's good sister accidentally rescued a country girl in the mountains.
The good sister recounted Zhou Xiu's deeds on the phone:
"Zhou Xiucai was in high school. She was the first in the school in the high school entrance examination, but did you know that her grandparents took her cousin's gift of 50,000 yuan as a marriage exchange? She was only so young, and she was about to marry someone in her thirties. An old man! I gave her the money, and it was... "
It was only after doing a good deed that I found out that I picked up a hot potato and threw it to Xi Mu.
Xi's mother doesn't have the overflowing sympathy of a good sister, but providing a little girl with food and clothing is only a matter that can be solved easily.
She said politely, "Get in the car."
Zhou Xiu's snakeskin bag was put in the trunk by the driver, and she got into the car in a daze, only to find that there was a boy in the car.
The boy sitting in the car was wearing a British-style light gray argyle sweater, and the sneakers on his feet were spotlessly clean, as if they had just been taken off the shelf in a store.
The leather upholstery in the car is also pure white and flawless.
The heating in the car is very sufficient, which makes people yearn for it.
But as soon as Zhou Xiu lifted his feet, the inferior plastic shoes split open, and the toe of the shoe was like a split mouth, exposing the toes that were red from the cold inside.
The shoes kept dripping with dirty water, Zhou Xiu retracted her toes in embarrassment.
The boy in the car slowly raised his head, his handsome face seemed to have been soaked in the sun, his eyebrows were raised, with the arrogance and confidence unique to a teenager.
He looked at Zhou Xiu casually, as if he was looking at the garbage on the roadside.
Indifference and disgust.
Zhou Xiu's face was a little hot, she turned her head and wiped off the sewage with the rag handed by the housekeeper.
"Close the car door, hurry up, I have another meeting to open later." Mother Sim urged like an order.
Zhou Xiu whispered, "Oh, good."
…
Zhou Xiu lived in Xi's house, and the night was uneventful, without any disturbances. It seems that there is one more person in the family, and nothing has changed.
Xi's mother rushed to the meeting overnight and did not return all night.
The young master of the Xi family, that boy did not take Zhou Xiu seriously.
Zhou Xiu took a hot bath, lying warmly in the bed, she had a very long dream that night. She dreamed of her own nightmare life.
In the dream, although "Zhou Xiu" escaped the misfortune of marrying an old man in the valley, he fell severely on Xi Shaoyuan's body.
She fell in love with the young master of this rich family.
In the third year of high school, Dad Zhou got seriously ill and urgently needed 50,000 yuan for surgery. "Zhou Xiu" was embarrassed to ask Xi's family for money, so she could only use her vacation to work hard to earn money.
At the same time, Xi Shaoyuan, who celebrated his girlfriend's birthday, sold a bracelet worth 300,000 yuan.
"Zhou Xiu" saw the price tag of the bracelet in Xi Shaoyuan's study, and when she counted the string of zeros, her heart trembled. If she can marry into a wealthy family... all the troubles in her life will disappear.
She began to dress up according to the type Xi Shaoyuan liked, frantically flattering Xi Shaoyuan.
She didn't impress Xi Shaoyuan in the end, but people in Xi Shaoyuan's circle have long been disgusted with "Zhou Xiu", a woman who wants to marry a wealthy family.
In the end, "Zhou Xiu" was discovered by Xi's mother, and she was severely humiliated by Xi's mother, and she was sent back to her hometown in Shangougou to marry an old man...
"I give you food, clothing and schooling, and you seduce my son like this to repay me?"
Thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, a silver light suddenly appeared, and the rumbling thunder fell.
Zhou Xiu woke up sweating profusely.
This dream is so real.
[Hello young man, don't doubt, the dream that I played to you just now is exactly what you will experience in the next life. You must know that it is useless to rely on mountains falling, relying on everyone to run, and relying on men.]
[Here is the learning system. Please teenagers must seize the time to study hard and enrich themselves!]
[It's hard for a poor family to have a noble son. The Galaxy Star Interstellar Support Foundation·Learning System will serve you wholeheartedly.]
Sending her back to her hometown in Shangougou, what awaits her... Zhou Xiu, who has just been rescued from the devil's lair, knows it all too well.
In the dream, the woman who gradually became paranoid from clumsiness, and the self who became crazy because of Xi Shaoyang, made Zhou Xiu feel strange and confused.
Zhou Xiu didn't pay attention to the strange voice.
In the morning, the aunt of the Xi's family called her to wake up for breakfast. Zhou Xiu was startled when she saw Xi Shaoyuan, who was well-dressed. The night was too dim last night, so she couldn't see the young master of the Xi's family clearly.
His looks are truly stunning.
But Zhou Xiu recalled last night's dream, falling in love with him is going to be sent back to Shangougou to marry an old man. Zhou Xiu couldn't help trembling, and took a step back.
Auntie looked at Zhou Xiu suspiciously.
"Have you not known each other yet? You still have such an identity, Xiuxiu, please introduce yourself to the young master."
In the dream, Zhou Xiu was very happy, and made a long self-introduction, but did not get any response from Xi Shaoyuan.
Zhou Xiu said calmly, "My name is Zhou Xiu."
Xi Shaoyuan hummed vaguely, didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, remained in the same posture, lazily eating his breakfast.
It seemed that Zhou Xiu was just an insignificant passer-by to him. Zhou Xiu drank the porridge and thought boredly:
Indifference is Xi Shaoyuan's true character.
The aunt of Xi's family sent Zhou Xiu to Yude Middle School to report.
Zhou Xiu walked into her new class with a heavy heart.
Before coming to the big city yesterday, Zhou Xiu was full of expectations for the new school and new classmates. But Zhou Xiu couldn't be happy with that prophetic dream last night.
They rejected her, despised her, made fun of her, and had great malice towards her.
Zhou Xiu wore a uniform and fat school uniform, with a thin face, and long-term malnutrition made her look ordinary, with average appearance. Obviously, such a transfer student cannot arouse the interest of teenagers and girls.
"Hi everyone, my name is Zhou Xiu."
After a hasty self-introduction, Zhou Xiu sat down in her seat and became a little transparent in the corner.
[Believe me, studying can make you rich, but men can't.]
[Dear, you there? Hello. I need your reply here.]
After one night, the learning system absorbed the civilization of this era and quickly adapted to the trend of the times.
Near noon, after the last physics class, Zhou Xiu's stomach rumbled in due course.
Xi's mother is a very ambitious woman, but her thoughts in life are not delicate at all. On the first day of school, she forgot to give Zhou Xiu pocket money.
Zhou Xiu and Xi Shao were not close at first, she would rather go hungry than deliberately borrow something from him as in the dream, in order to get closer.
She crumpled a bunch of waste paper and diverted her attention by writing the test paper.
After writing a multiple-choice question, she pinched her stomach.
[Ding—Please try to solve a math finale problem independently, and you will be rewarded with 10RMB for the correct answer.]
The annoying voice sounded again.
Zhou Xiu's eyes fell on the math test paper, but she didn't believe this sentence. But talking is better than nothing, Zhou Xiu solved the final question.
This is a geometry problem. Zhou Xiu sharpened a pencil, drew auxiliary lines, and patiently solved the problem step by step.
She frowned, and was so agitated that she wanted to throw away the draft paper several times.
As expected, the key schools are not comparable to the small schools in remote mountainous areas. Zhou Xiu racked her brains.
The tidbit is Zhou Xiu's deskmate. She just woke up and found that there is another deskmate beside her. Still a taciturn girl.
His face was yellow and thin, and he looked malnourished. A morning passed, and she was so quiet that she didn't make a sound.
Normally, only tidbits are cold to others, no one is cold to her. But for the first time in his life, Tidbits met his opponent.
Obviously her new tablemate is not interested in her at all.
The tidbits are very satisfactory.
After school, Momo unhurriedly took out her makeup, added a little powder, and reapplied her lipstick.
The new deskmate did not leave, but directly dug out the math test paper and wrote the finale.
Of the two girls in the back seat, one quietly wrote the test paper, and the other put on makeup in front of the mirror. There is a clear distinction between Wei and Wei, and no one disturbs anyone.
Pharaoh, the leader of Yude's mathematics team, is notoriously perverted. He usually likes to tease everyone with weird puzzles, and flipped through the reference answers boringly.
Square root five.
The answer was correct... Momo glanced at Zhou Xiu, then tapped on Zhou Xiu's desk.
"After you finish your homework, copy it for me."
Her tone was a little pulled. But Zhou Xiu didn't care.
"Oh, find it yourself."
[The answer is correct, the reward of 10RMB is already in my pocket.]
Zhou Xiu finished several other big math problems in one go, and was going to lie down on the table to rest for a while. But when she unconsciously put her hand into her pocket, she found a piece of money.
He took it out and saw a gray-blue picture of Grandpa Mao looking at Zhou Xiu with a smile.
Zhou Xiu rubbed his eyes, staring in a daze.
Zhou Xiu was convinced that her pockets were clean, and this money was indeed "made out of nothing".
[Dear, please enjoy the fruits of your labor in time. The fruit of labor traded for knowledge, it's damn sweet.]
Earn money by studying
This sounds too incredible, but the money in hand reminds Zhou Xiu that it is true! too crazy!
It lay quietly in her pocket, giving a sense of solidity.
All kinds of food appeared in front of Zhou Xiu's eyes, hot noodle soup, soft and sweet steamed buns, and eggs with the fragrance of chopped green onion. Zhou Xiu clutched the money tightly and swallowed.
She hurried to the school cafeteria.
The canteen of Yude Middle School is very generous, free soup, porridge, rice and steamed buns are also free. Even the free stuff tastes pretty good.
Zhou Xiu bought a portion of meat, and the price of pork has risen, and it will cost ten yuan a portion, which is beyond Zhou Xiu's expectation.
She regretted it after beating the meat, it was a bit expensive.
Zhou Xiu was very hungry, the braised pork was delicious, the gravy was thick, and the stew was fat but not greasy.
She ate five steamed buns in one go with the braised pork, and she didn't stop until she burped. She stroked her belly and narrowed her eyes. Although the flesh hurt, she felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
On the second floor of the dining hall, private seats.
"Pffff—"
"When will that woman eat, she has already eaten five!"
"She is a transfer student from the class next door. I heard that her family is very difficult. The water cup she uses is donated by Project Hope!"
When Xi Shaoyuan heard the voice, he glanced casually. I happened to see the poor student my mother sponsored. I saw a bowl of porridge on her left, a bowl of rice on her right, and an empty tray in front of her.
He looks away.
"She looks so thin, isn't she afraid of being stuffed to death after eating so much?"
When I was young, I looked down on the tidbits that money is like dung, and I fell into thought when I saw my deskmate went to buy a free fruit.
Her tablemate seems... a bit poor
