Xi Shaoyuan went downstairs, turned on the phone and asked the driver to pick it up.
As soon as she took out her phone and opened WeChat, Xu Qing's red dot popped out: "Shaoyuan, Happy New Year's Eve."
No need to swipe, you can see his last message on the same interface: "It's all here, why didn't you watch it with us?"
The news was a long time ago, and the time was the day I watched the movie.
In addition to Xu Qing's blessings, Xie Cheng, Mou, Du Feiyang, Tan Ming, Zhang Qi, Xu Haobo, Lu Lingshan... and many others sent blessings to Xi Shaoyuan, but Zhou Xiu was not.
Xi Shaoyuan turned off the screen and did not reply.
…
When Zhou Xiu was writing the counting questions, the sound of her mobile phone ding ding came from the living room.
Liu Mei accidentally clicked on her WeChat interface, and when she saw the red envelope, she subconsciously snatched it.
Liu Mei was speechless after ordering, "Why is it so big?"
Two hundred yuan.
Liu Mei thought it was an ordinary red envelope of one or two yuan or a few cents.
It turned out that the students in Class 24 initiated the red envelope rain. Because of their good performance in the exam, it is particularly refreshing to give out red envelopes this year.
The main force in sending out red envelopes is Yuan Ruoyi. She promised to use her lucky money to give out red envelopes, and she contracted a rain of red envelopes by herself. The amount of each red envelope is 200 yuan, so that the students are not interested in having fun and only focus on grabbing the red envelopes.
"Xiu'er, I ordered a red envelope for you just now, is it okay?"
Pointing the red envelopes was refreshing for a while, and suddenly realized that Liu Mei, who had snatched thousands of red envelopes, was in a bad mood.
After Zhou Xiu finished writing the exercises, she took out her mobile phone to read. At this time, the wechat group was already full of landscape pictures of Du Feiyang swiping the screen.
A few days ago, Du Feiyang, who was still in the mainland, was already in a small town near the Alpha Mayo Mountain, and he was broadcasting the morning live for everyone.
He greeted everyone with a mouthful of white teeth, and Du Feiyang really followed what he said, and returned many high-definition and beautiful landscape pictures. A series of high-definition photographs are displayed in the group one by one. These magnificent mountains, across the screen, are scenery that Zhou Xiu has never seen before.
She stared for a long time, picked a landscape photo and saved it.
Liu Mei asked again: "Did Mom do something wrong?"
Apparently she understands this point of worldliness better than Zhou Xiu. Their family is poor, and they shouldn't take advantage of this little advantage and let others look down on them.
Zhou Xiu shook her head, "It's fine."
Usually, Zhou Xiu would not participate in this kind of red envelope grabbing activity. She was in a difficult financial situation, so she couldn't afford the red envelopes, so she didn't grab the red envelopes at all.
It's not good to just grab red envelopes without sending them out.
She sighed and handed out a red envelope with heartache. In addition to the red envelope that Liu Mei just grabbed, an extra thousand yuan was added to it.
Send as much as you grab, and it's not very friendly.
As soon as her red envelope was sent out, it was drowned in the collective rain of red envelopes.
The classmate who snatched Zhou Xiu's red envelope said, "Bless me with the light of the top student's counterattack, and bless me to continue to pass the next semester."
"Wow, I actually snatched Zhou Xiu's red envelope!"
"Dip stick!"
System: [Young man, you will earn more money in the new year. The foundation is laid, and next year will be a year of sudden wealth.]
Zhou Xiu was full of smiles, [Well, I accept your good words.]
The countdown to the zero o'clock of the New Year starts at this second, and thousands of fireworks bloom together, shining like daytime.
Zhou Cheng and Liu Mei ran to the top of the building to watch the fireworks, pointing to the one just now and saying it was beautiful, but thinking that the current one is the prettiest.
Like a child who has not experienced much in the world, his eyes are full of novelty.
Zhou Xiu returned to the room, resigned to his fate and continued to lay the foundation.
This semester is just for high school general subject exams. There will be two competitions in the next semester. It can be expected that the time will be dire and every second counts.
Instead of complaining about the lack of time then, it is better to start preparing now.
…
On the first day of the new year, Liu Mei took out her newly bought clothes and gave them to her daughter.
Liu Mei recalled that in the past, Zhou Xiu always picked out the old clothes of his cousins to wear. Although they were dissatisfied, they didn't say anything, which made Zhou Xiu suffer years of grievances in vain.
She said with some embarrassment: "Xiu'er, don't always wear your blue cotton coat. Dress up for the New Year festively. Come and try this one."
Zhou Xiu got a red and white down jacket, which is a particularly bright and white color.
Liu Mei also dug out the skin care products she bought from the room and gave them to her daughter.
This is what Liu Mei asked her neighbors for advice, "Xiu'er is going to be seventeen this year, she is a big girl, she needs to wash her face every day."
In the past, she didn't have the conditions to dress herself up, but now that she has the conditions, Liu Mei is willing to spend money on her.
Zhou Xiu saw that Liu Mei specially gave her a non-brand facial cleanser, although she was happy, she couldn't help but laugh.
She picked up the facial cleanser, looked at the chemical composition list behind her, and said earnestly: "Next time, don't waste money, polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, palmitic acid, these ingredients are too irritating. Strong, it will rot your face if you apply it on your face."
Liu Mei stared in confusion.
Zhou Xiu patiently explained to her one by one.
After listening to Liu Mei, she was terrified: "No wonder the girl downstairs always has acne marks on her face. We don't need Xiu'er, we don't need it."
She threw the newly bought facial cleanser into the trash can with heartache, and said, "But Xiu'er should pay attention to her image."
Zhou Xiu couldn't resist Liu Mei's nagging, she studied it for a while, opened Taobao and bought basic sunscreen and facial cleanser.
system:[…]
All right, Xiuxiu listens to her mother more.
Even the temptation of taking money can't tempt her.
During the winter vacation, Zhou Xiu studied for half a day and went to the noodle stall to collect money for the rest of the day to relieve the pressure on her parents.
After Zhou Cheng gained income, he ordered milk for his daughter every day, and continued to replenish it with bone soup and chicken soup, making up a little bit of nutrition that Zhou Xiu had lacked in the past ten years.
Because of Zhou Xiu's quick calculations, the little white-collar worker who ordered eight portions of noodles at Zhou Cheng's noodle stall on the first day was inexplicably attracted by this little girl.
Years later, he queued up to buy noodles and witnessed a wave of Zhou Xiusu quickly counting the price of ten noodles.
He secretly recorded a video and sent it back to his Douyin account.
This account became popular for no reason.
In the vaguely shaking picture, a handsome girl was buried in her homework, when a group of workers suddenly came to eat at the stall. The foreman just finished ordering the meal when the boss pressed the calculator. The little girl said without raising her head:
"I made a mistake, 10 noodles should be a total of 135.5."
It seems that the content is not important, but the protagonist is. Such a pretty girl is wearing a little red cotton padded jacket, and the serious side face immersed in homework makes people feel beautiful.
It just so happened that one day a classmate in class 24 accidentally found this video on the Internet and was shocked.
Lan Xin rubbed her eyes, "Isn't this Xiuxiu?"
You may not be able to recognize her just by looking at her side face, but everyone is very familiar with her posture of burying her head in her homework.
Zhou Xiu is the only one who can persist in studying in a noisy environment.
Yuan Ruoyi was also taken aback and couldn't believe it.
Zhou Xiu...how could she appear at such a food stall
Although none of the classmates around her came from rich or wealthy families, they were still from small rich families. It was difficult for Yuan Ruoyi to associate Zhou Xiu with such a bad environment in the video.
Fortunately, at the end of the video, there are a few photos secretly taken by young white-collar workers. In the photos, Tan Ming is standing on the side with a cold face as a coolie.
He, who is always clean at ordinary times, was unexpectedly embarrassed.
Yuan Ruoyi's doubts just popped up, but she was suppressed.
Tan Ming can be regarded as the proudest boy in the class and the most pampered by his family. When he first came to Yude in junior high school, he wished he could come to school every day in a sports car.
When he was in high school, he learned how to play Harley motorcycles like Yuan Shao.
If Lu Lingshan hadn't publicly stated that she didn't like such stupid behavior of flaunting her wealth, Tan Ming might not be able to learn the word low-key.
Yuan Ruoyi sent the video to Tan Ming and asked, "This is?"
After Tan Ming watched this video, he was in a bad mood and was hit violently.
I went there just once, at first I thought that this setback would not be seen by acquaintances, but in the end I prevented the acquaintances, but I never expected that I could not prevent passers-by.
Tan Ming pretended to be calm and answered Yuan Ruoyi: "Social practice during the winter vacation."
He secretly contacted the po owner to delete the video.
He comforted himself thinking that Zhou Xiu himself might not be willing to let others know these things.
Yuan Ruoyi & Lan Xin: "..."
I understand in seconds.
They quickly put the little episode behind them.
…
Half a month later, Momo and Yu Qingyan came back from their vacation abroad and continued to ask Zhou Xiu for English tutoring. Not seeing each other for nearly a month, both of them were shocked.
When Yu Qingyan saw Zhou Xiu, the first thing she said was: "Xiu Xiu seems to be a little taller."
Tidbits said: "Let's be clear."
Yu Qingyan took several steps back, narrowed her eyes and looked up and down, "Sister Xu is right."
She seemed to be able to get a little of Zhou Xiu's face.
"It would be nice if it was a little whiter." Yu Qingyan touched her chin and said.
Momo proudly snapped her fingers and said, "I originally wanted to take an art exam, so I can't see it wrong."
"Stop talking about this, come on, Xiuxiu, let us test your English learning success during the winter vacation."
Tidbits called and summoned Xu Qing, "Is the monitor here, come over and change the test paper."
Tidbits shamelessly handed over the holiday homework assigned to her by her foreign English teacher to Zhou Xiu, and Yu Qingyan also stuffed her with a few test papers.
"Xiuxiu, write well. We spent a lot of time finding these test papers for you. Write well."
Zhou Xiu took the test paper of "Love and Righteousness" from the sisters. Although he was suspicious, he quickly started to write.
Tidbits took a book and read it aside, and set the alarm clock on the phone.
But Zhou Xiu didn't need an alarm clock, she didn't think writing test papers was boring, and when Xu Qing didn't come, she kept writing.
Xu Qing received a call from Tidbits and was out of town and couldn't get away.
So he found Xie Cheng in the library, Xie Cheng didn't roll his eyelids when he saw it, and directly forwarded the text message to Xi Shaoyuan.
"Your Xiuxiu, are you going?"
Xi Shaoyuan's expression changed when he saw it, and asked him, "Xie Cheng, what do you mean?"
Xie Cheng closed the book he had read, propped his chin and said, "On New Year's Eve, you went to Zhou Xiu's house."
"Shaoyuan has never paid so much attention to a girl."
Xie Cheng originally invited Xi Shaoyuan to the party on New Year's Eve, but he didn't wait for him for a long time, so he called Xi's driver to ask.
Except for New Year's Eve, all the previous signs that something was wrong, in Xie Cheng's view, were clues.
"I just said, how could Shaoyuan lose in games?" Xie Cheng said flatly.
Xie Cheng was referring to the game that Class 24 and Winner Class played together on Christmas. The result of the game was that Xi Shaoyuan lost, and Zhou Xiu got soft with a gift.
It's fine for the others to lose, but that's Xi Shaoyuan.
Xi Shaoyuan didn't want to reply to Xie Cheng, and his face became darker and darker.
He replied cleanly: "No."
Xie Cheng directly sent a message: "If I don't go, I will go?"
Xi Shaoyuan turned off his phone with a dull expression, and went to the city library.
Titus was so sleepy that she leaned over the table and fell asleep lazily, while Yu Qingyan watched the brainless campus comics, and her smile became weirder the more she watched. Zhou Xiu, on the other hand, straightened her back and frowned, puzzled.
Xi Shaoyuan walked into the library and found Zhou Xiu.
He moved a little closer, pulled out a chair and sat down. Yu Qingyan heard a slight noise, turned her head to look—
She opened her mouth wide, and the girl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, hitting Huaxu's leg.
Titus raised her head, yawned lazily, fixed her eyes on the person in front of her, quickly put the yawn back, and smiled reservedly.
Yu Qingyan asked: "Young Master Yuan, why are you here?"
Xi Shaoyuan said: "Xu Qing is not free, I happen to be in the library."
Trivia & Yu Qingyan's mood is inexplicably complicated: "..."
Let's not have a squad leader next time, why is this great god summoned without saying hello, and there is no time for people to prepare.
Although his English is indeed the best in the whole grade, tutoring Xiuxiu couldn't be better.
But, as long as Yu Qingyan thinks that today she just came to see Tidbits and Zhou Xiu, so she didn't even put on her makeup properly, and her hair was washed two days ago, she can only wish to disappear immediately.
