Song Erhua started a life of working in the inn during the day and studying at night.
Soon, all the students in the inn heard about Song Erhua's dropping out of school, and they began to consciously maintain public health, picking up garbage, washing dishes after meals, and trying their best to keep clean. It relieved Song Erhua a lot of burden.
Song Erhua sees every bit of this and remembers it in her heart, and she is very grateful to them.
In the second semester of her second year of high school, Song Erhua dropped out after only half of her studies. Every day after get off work, she would study in the hall downstairs of the inn with a book in her hand.
After Zhou Xiu finished her class, she would tutor Song Erhua for a while when she was free. If there is anything Song Erhua doesn't understand, she will ask Zhou Xiu.
It was at this time that Song Erhua discovered that the students from this group of cities were of a very high level, even worse than the top students in their school.
Just pick one out, proficient in everything in mathematics, physics and chemistry. English is not a problem, I can speak pure and fluent English at my fingertips.
Song Erhua couldn't help sighing to Zhou Xiu: "Xiu, your classmates are so good! Are the students in big cities so high? Any one of them is better than the top ten students in our school."
"Will I waste your time by doing this?"
Zhou Xiu shook her head, "Just study hard."
As she spoke, she plugged in English listening earplugs, and while listening to English, corrected Song Erhua's homework.
Students: "..."
Yude's first in grade and first in the province are all here, what do you think? However, hearing these words made them feel elated, as if drinking honey juice.
Qi Yaguang asked Song Erhua: "Did Zhou Xiu go to the same school as you before, she should be the number one in your grade?"
Song Erhua proudly raised her chest, "Of course, Xiuxiu is number one."
The students who were still happy just now: "..."
excuse me. They are still being hanged and beaten by Xiushen. "Anyone is better than the students in their school" can't be said nonsense.
Qi Yaguang froze for a few seconds, and said, "You may not know that Zhou Xiu was ranked first in our school's grade last semester."
Yude's top students also thought that Zhou Xiu, a transfer student from the countryside, could not do so well in the exam, and ended up being slapped in the face.
Song Erhua raised her head to look at Zhou Xiu in surprise.
What is the concept of being number one in the school? Zhou Xiu is even more powerful than these powerful classmates...
Song Erhua's heart was full of pride. Even though Zhou Xiu wrote to her every week, there was never a time when Song Erhua directly felt how powerful Zhou Xiu was.
Song Erhua said with emotion: "But I can also guess it. Xiu is really good. She borrowed my textbooks before she didn't want to pay the book fee, and she memorized them when she went home. The teacher can't do anything about her."
Damn, have you memorized all the textbooks? Du Feiyang turned back to look at Zhou Xiu in shock.
The scumbags who were chatting, blowing water and playing games suddenly fell silent.
It turns out... Xueba has walked a path destined to be different from ordinary people since he was a child.
Song Erhua paused, then continued: "Xiu's math is also quite good. At the end of each year, the village gives each household a subsidy for selling grain and wood. The village chief was reluctant to hire an accountant, so he asked Xiuxiu to help with the work. There is a salary of fifty yuan every year, and she was only in the fifth and sixth grades at that time, and we were all envious."
system:[…]
No wonder he is so motivated when he is studying, and Ganqing has had such signs since he was a child.
Xi Shaoyuan listened, and a scene of a little girl holding a ledger to settle accounts seemed to appear in front of her eyes.
Tan Ming leaned forward, holding his chin, as if he was fascinated.
A smile appeared on Xu Qing's lips when he heard this. The creature in front of him seemed to lose its attractiveness. Although he didn't put down his pen, his ears were already listening to Zhou Xiu's childhood.
Song Erhua looked at everyone with an expression of "you don't know anything".
She found that many pairs of curious eyes were looking at herself, and she said: "What are you all looking at me--you and her have been classmates for almost half a year. Although it sounds a bit shocking, but she is indeed smarter than me. Make it easier."
Everyone: "..."
More than a little hit people. That kind of feeling is that I thought it was a bronze, but it turned out to be a king.
After Zhou Xiu corrected Song Erhua's physics test paper, she took off her earphones and handed the test paper to Song Erhua who was chatting.
"Your mechanical formulas are relatively unfamiliar, remember to memorize them more and use them flexibly. Erhua, don't waste any more time. School will start soon."
Song Erhua took the test paper and buried herself in her studies.
After Zhou Xiu finished her studies, she went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook.
She unexpectedly found that today's meal was cooked, and on the stove, thinly sliced meat and washed vegetables were neatly placed.
Xie Cheng stood by the cooking table, lowering his head and cutting tomatoes.
There was a lot of noise outside, but the kitchen was surprisingly quiet, as if trying to find some peace amidst the noise. Although Xie Cheng's chopping action is not as familiar as Du Heng's, it can be called smooth and smooth.
Zhou Xiu was a little apologetic, "Is it because you are noisy outside? Our class is indeed quite active. I didn't know you could cook. It looks delicious."
When Tan Ming came here for the first time, cooking porridge almost blew up the whole kitchen. After Tidaloo and Lanxin had cut their hands several times, Zhou Xiu didn't dare to let them into the kitchen.
Xie Cheng didn't even raise his head, "It's nothing, but I'm not very good at making fire, and I may need your help later."
Zhou Xiu squatted down at the stove, fetched the dried straw and lit the firewood.
During meal time, the scumbags who were chatting in the inn lobby outside smelled the smell of rice and ran to the kitchen to have a look.
In the kitchen, Zhou Xiu was loading vegetables on a plate, while Xie Cheng was cutting fruit to serve on the plate. He turned his head and asked Zhou Xiu, "Do you have a larger fruit plate?"
Zhou Xiu handed Xie Cheng a large fruit plate, and Xie Cheng handed Zhou Xiu a plate of cut watermelon, "Try it."
The afterglow of the evening sun fell quietly on them, Zhou Xiu took the watermelon and ate it, and smiled, as if a faint light was shining on her face.
The girl stared blankly, Zhou Xiu and Xie Cheng happened to be wearing white shirts of the same color, this scene was so harmonious that it was blinding.
Lan Xin whispered to Yu Qingyan, "Do you think Xie Shen and Xiu Shen are a good match?"
Yu Qingyan's Yan dog attribute was launched, and she said dully: "Yes, I didn't know that the white shirt Xie Shen was wearing was so handsome."
Inexplicably, she thought of the picture of Xie Shen sleeping next to Xiuxiu in the study room.
Tan Ming was so overwhelmed, seeing this scene was like a needle in his eye. He walked in with a dark face, and broke the scene: "What are you eating? I want to eat mango."
Even Du Heng from the No. 4 Middle School came to the country, and Tan Ming could understand it, but the teaching support activities were held by Class 24. Why did the two top students from the Rocket Class come to join in the fun? They didn't plan to review for the competition
Xie Cheng shrugged and handed the fruit knife to Tan Ming. Tan Ming took out the mango from the corner, cut a pot, and invited Zhou Xiu to taste it.
Zhou Xiu shook her head, "It won't be delicious until it softens for a few days, but it's too sour to eat now. If you don't believe me, try it?"
Tan Ming: "..."
Tan Ming didn't need to taste it, his heart was already as sour as if he had eaten a lemon.
He insisted on handing it to Zhou Xiu, "It tastes sour, so Xiuxiu should try it."
Zhou Xiu found chili powder and licorice powder and mixed them on the mango slices, and the taste of raw mangoes became better after trying.
"Well, it's delicious. It's sweet and sour." Zhou Xiu said.
Tan Ming's brows finally stretched, and a smile appeared.
Dinner was steak rice with assorted vegetables, topped with thick black pepper sauce, and served with brightly colored fruits. Everyone said that they hadn’t eaten such exquisite food for a long time.
After Xu Qing finished dinner, she suddenly asked, "Xie Cheng was in the kitchen just now?"
Lan Xin nodded, frowned and said with a smile, "Yes, thank God for making this dinner. The craftsmanship is not bad!"
The dregs of the students were almost choked, "This is... Xie, thank God?!"
Kind of an honor
Qi Yaguang was very surprised, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly froze.
The scumbags thought silently while eating the jambalaya, wondering if Rocket's classmates had the honor to eat the meal made by Xie Shen himself. This trip was worth it, not only did they eat Xie Shen's cooking, they even ate Xiushen's food!
Xi Shaoyuan looked up at Xie Cheng, Xu Qing took off his glasses, and slowly wiped the fog off the lenses.
Looking at everyone's adoring gazes, Tan Ming couldn't eat. It was the first time in his life that he hated Xueba so much.
…
The next morning, it rained.
The sky was gray and you couldn't see your fingers. There was only a light in the lobby of the Four Seasons Inn. It was Zhou Xiu who was studying.
After dawn, Tan Ming came back covered in moisture, and at the same time he was holding a large bouquet of wild flowers in his hand, with a smile as bright as the warm sun in winter. Warm without being harsh.
Xi Shaoyuan was eating breakfast at the dining table, when he saw Tan Ming come back with flowers in his hands, he stopped cutting eggs for a moment.
Tan Ming handed the flowers in front of Zhou Xiu, as if mustering up the courage to say something.
Zhou Xiu was doing biology problems with his head down, but he didn't notice any movement in front of him.
Tan Ming plucked up his courage, smiled and said to Zhou Xiu: "Xiuxiu—"
Zhou Xiu finally raised her head, she saw the elegant flower in Tan Ming's hand, the dew in the pistils of Dabin chrysanthemum was crumbling, the chrysanthemum was dazzlingly beautiful, Tan Ming had a smile on his face, he was full of energy, and seemed to be in a very good mood .
This morning's talk is also very particular about dressing.
At this time, a scumbag from Class 24 got up, and he went downstairs to say hello to Tan Ming, "Morning, Mingming."
"Xiuxiu, good morning."
He took the flowers from Tan Ming's hand, and put them into a vase, "It's so beautiful, where did you pick them. Senior Ming is quite a bourgeoisie, and he's always so stinky everywhere he goes. I remember that my aunt arranged flowers very beautifully. "
Zhou Xiu asked Tan Ming, "What did you just say?"
The people around gathered around curiously, and Tan Ming looked at Zhou Xiuqing's unaware eyes, as if punching cotton.
Tan Ming felt a little discouraged, tried his best to raise a smile on his face and said, "It's nothing, Xiuxiu, you study hard. Come on!"
"These flowers are for you."
Zhou Xiu said, "Thank you."
During the summer vacation, girls like Yu Qingyan had nothing to do, they often went to pick wild flowers, and changed the vases in the inn every three days, Zhou Xiu was used to it. She took the biology book and continued to study.
Xi Shaoyuan at the edge of the table slowly bent his lips.
…
On Monday, the weather forecast was heavy rain in the afternoon. After the morning class, the teachers let the students go home.
After the students finished their lunch, they reluctantly went home. They enjoy the lessons of these teachers very much.
These support teachers from the city are very interesting. They taught them English and mathematics, taught them to sing and dance, and they are very happy in class every day. They have meat for every lunch. The teacher is even taller.
In the afternoon, the dark clouds in the sky were like splashed ink, and it was overwhelming.
Zhou Xiu tidied up the library, and only stayed for a while, when the torrential rain had started to rumble. Zhou Xiu was going back to the Four Seasons Inn. It's just that she had just walked for a while when the umbrella was blown by the strong wind into the opposite river.
Zhou Xiu hid under someone's eaves, and after a while, she saw Xi Shaoyuan walking towards her through the rain curtain.
Xi Shaoyuan put away his umbrella and hid under the eaves.
When Xi Shaoyuan saw Zhou Xiu who was soaking wet, he turned his face and coughed lightly, "Well, I'll call Uncle Li later and ask him to bring an umbrella over."
Zhou Xiu glanced at him.
Xi Shaoyuan took out a spare piece of clothing from his bag and wrapped it around Zhou Xiu's body, "I'll lend it to you, the wind is a bit strong, and it's easy to catch a cold."
Xi Shaoyuan approached Zhou Xiu and took her hand quietly. He looked up at the dense rain curtain and said, "It seems that the rain won't stop for a while, let's wait a while."
They stood in the rain and waited all afternoon.
