After New Year's Day, we have entered the year 2014 according to the Gregorian calendar.
The Lunar New Year's Eve is on January 29th. For the first-year students of Yuzhou No. 4 Middle School, the control is not very strict and there will be no additional tutoring during the winter vacation. Students can enjoy a whole and perfect winter vacation.
Jiang Ning sat in his seat, holding a pen and pointing at the test paper. He was explaining the math problems to Bai Yuxia.
My deskmate Xue Yuantong held her chin with her hand, her face full of confusion and puzzlement. Bai Yuxia had just asked her a question.
Xue Yuantong has always been a helpful person, so of course he would not refuse.
So she told Bai Yuxia her idea of solving the problem, but Bai Yuxia was still confused.
Xue Yuantong thought: "I explained it very simply, using only basic knowledge and omitting those unimportant steps that can be understood at a glance. Why can't Bai Yuxia understand?"
'Is it her problem or mine?'
Xue Yuantong was a little discouraged. Wasn't she suitable to be a teacher
"Obviously Jiang Ning can understand it."
'Bai Yuxia is too weak.'
Xue Yuantong made sure that he was fine.
Jiang Ning put away his pen and asked, "Have you learned it?"
"So this is how it is solved. I got it. Thanks."
"This is a strawberry mousse cone that my dad bought for me on a business trip. Here you go." Bai Yuxia took out a palm-sized paper box from her off-white backpack.
"It's a crispy cone on the outside and chocolate on the inside. It's very soft and tastes great," said Bai Yuxia.
Jiang Ning took the box and glanced at Shan Kaiquan.
As soon as Bai Yuxia started asking the question, Shan Kaiquan turned around and watched along, very attentively.
Shan Kaiquan's face didn't show much expression. He knew that Jiang Ning would not only explain the questions to Bai Yuxia, but also to Geng Lu who sat at the back table.
Besides, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong are usually a couple.
"So, there is absolutely no possibility that Jiang Ning is interested in Bai Yuxia."
Shan Kaiquan was full of confidence and his eyes were wise, as if he had seen through everything, like an elder who had seen through the ages.
Jiang Ning opened the ice cream cone box, gave one to Xue Yuantong, and gave one to Dan Kaiquan:
"or?"
Shan Kaiquan quickly took it and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
This is Bai Yuxia’s snack!
Normally he had no chance to enjoy it, and only when Jiang Ning finished explaining the topic and received a gift from Bai Yuxia could he get a chance to win.
"Jiang Ning is really righteous and capable." Shan Kaiquan took a bite of the ice cream cone, which tasted quite good, and his mood became sweet.
"When Bai Yuxia and I get married, we must invite Jiang Ning to attend the wedding. At that time, I will drive to pick him up personally, no matter where he is."
Shan Kaiquan thought happily, and soon he finished the ice cream cone. It was so delicious, worthy of being the snack chosen by Bai Yuxia!
He quietly hid the packaging of the ice cream cone in his pocket, intending to memorize the brand of the cone and buy it for Bai Yuxia in the future.
"By the way, do you know that this final exam is a unified exam for the entire city?" said Shan Kaiquan.
Bai Yuxia asked, looking at him, obviously very interested:
"Where did you hear that?"
Shan Kaiquan saw Bai Yuxia's reaction and said happily:
"I had a classmate in junior high school who was admitted to the experimental class of No. 2 Middle School. He told me this."
When saying this, Shan Kaiquan looked very proud, as if he was the one who was admitted to the experimental class of No. 2 Middle School.
"You also know that his class is the best class in Yuzhou. He must be more informed than us. It's basically true."
After Bai Yuxia heard this, she took out her cell phone:
"Wait for me a moment, I'll ask my dad."
Her father is an associate professor at Yuzhou University of Finance and Economics and has certain connections in the Yuzhou education circle. Instead of guessing the truth of Dan Kaiquan's news, it is better to ask her father. Anyway, her father dotes on her very much and will definitely help her with this little thing.
After a while, Bai Yuxia nodded: "Final exam, first grade, city-wide exam, Lian Tu County and Guyang County will also participate."
"I told you so!" Shan Kaiquan said proudly.
Xue Yuantong: "Jiang Ning, I will use all my strength!"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Okay, let's see how high you can rank in the city."
He remembered that in the joint exam in the first year of high school, Xue Yuantong ranked third in the city.
"Humph, that must be a very good result!" Xue Yuantong originally wanted to say that she was the first in the city, but she didn't want to expose it to Jiang Ning so early. She would wait until the test results came out and then shock him severely!
In previous exams, Xue Yuantong was afraid of standing out, so she would always hide some of her abilities. Now that Jiang Ning is here, she doesn't have to worry about being disturbed by outsiders, and she can fully demonstrate her abilities.
Bai Yuxia listened to the conversation between the two. Her results in the high school entrance examination were not good. She performed a little worse than usual. As a result, she failed to enter the Second Middle School and was only in an ordinary class in the Fourth Middle School.
Compared with her parents' achievements, her results were somewhat unworthy of them. However, her parents did not blame her but comforted her instead.
Because Bai Yuxia used to spend most of her time on other things, such as dancing, painting, music, etc., and did not spend much time on studying, which led to her average grades.
She started to catch up after entering high school, especially after she became the deskmate of Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning. Whenever she encountered something she didn't understand, she could get detailed answers and she made rapid progress.
Therefore, Bai Yuxia said: "This time I want to challenge the top 50 in the grade."
"Top 50, pretty good." Xue Yuantong clenched his fist.
Jiang Ning said: "Come on."
Bai Yuxia always felt so calm when she saw their reactions.
Shan Kaiquan came over and said, "Being in the top 50 in the grade is nothing. You will definitely be in the top 10 this time."
"Xue Yuantong, Jiang Ning, be careful. Bai Yuxia may surpass you. I am very optimistic about her."
"When she surpasses you, don't cry."
Xue Yuantong heard this and said, "Okay, okay, Jiang Ning, did you hear me? You have to work harder."
Jiang Ning said, "Don't worry."
Bai Yuxia: "Dan Kaiquan, can you please stop drawing hatred to me?"
"Yuxia, don't worry, even if you make the whole world your enemy, I will stand by your side." He said sincerely.
Bai Yuxia couldn't stand it: "Why should I be the enemy of the whole world?"
Shan Kaiquan repeated: "I will help you!"
A few people were chatting about the final exam when Chen Qian from the class suddenly ran over. He stood in the aisle with his hands behind his back and a disdainful look on his face.
He was standing while the others were sitting. This high vantage point gave him a sense of overlooking the rest of the world, making him look even more imposing.
Chen Qian first looked at Bai Yuxia, his eyes filled with regret and his heart ached.
They had originally agreed to form a study group together, but before the group was established, Bai Yuxia went to join Xue Yuantong.
On the day of the seat distribution, Chen Qian suffered a great blow. He had vowed to win back his best friend Bai Yuxia.
Now, several months have passed, he has worked day and night, he has risked his life, he has studied hard, and finally, the final exam is here!
Today, Chen Qian will climb higher and higher and be ahead of the enemies at every step. He will take back everything he has lost. No pain can defeat him!
Chen Qian said arrogantly: "Xue Yuantong, you will taste the taste of failure."
After saying this, Chen Qian stopped talking nonsense, turned around and returned to his seat.
The final exam is approaching, and the demonstration just now is equivalent to a military order he has issued. He must now seize every minute and start working hard.
After Chen Qian left, Shan Kaiquan sneered, "What is he pretending to be?"
Xue Yuantong pondered for a while and asked Jiang Ning:
“What does it feel like to fail?”
"It's bitter." Jiang Ning said.
"Oh, then I won't eat it."
…
Shan Kaiquan ran to the back row and stayed there for a while, and the news of the final exam spread throughout Class 8. As a result, discussions about the exam in the class came from every corner, and many students were full of expectations.
Jiang Ning was thinking about other things. The day before yesterday, he went to the Huqishan Villa to check on the medicinal herbs he planted.
The medicinal herbs were nourished by the spirit gathering formation and the catalytic method used by Jiang Ning. Last time, Jiang Ning asked Shao Shuangshuang to collect a rare stone, which, after being ground, could make the land more nourishing to the medicinal herbs.
After a series of preparations, the growth of medicinal herbs is now very encouraging. He predicts that he will be able to harvest a wave of herbs before the New Year. By then, the Qi Gathering Pills made from those herbs will more than double the speed of cultivation compared to the pills he is taking now.
Wait until he breaks through the seventh level of Qi training.
So we can explore the area above Huqi Mountain, which is deprived of the laws of heaven and earth.
But before that, you must first familiarize yourself with the 'Shenyuan Shuttle' detection method to ensure maximum safety.
Although Jiang Ning mastered secret techniques that were beyond his current realm, and could catch people by surprise and even defeat cultivators in the foundation-building realm, the side effects of those secret techniques were extremely serious. Once used, at best all of one's cultivation would be lost, and at worst one would die.
"If possible, it would be best to use puppets to explore the way, so that even if an accident does occur, it will not harm me."
Immediately, Jiang Ning felt that he was being too cautious.
"That area, let alone my current Qi training level, even if I had the cultivation in my prime, I'm afraid it would take hundreds of years of training to break through the barrier between the two worlds."
"Let's ignore all that for now. The most important thing right now is to break through the seventh level of Qi training, and to instruct Shao Shuangshuang to arrange a team and speed up the search for the materials needed for the puppet."
Jiang Ning was thinking about his future training plans. He was still in the Qi training stage, so he was not in a hurry.
After the 'Taiyi Yunsui' was found, there was no need to worry about Xue Yuantong's condition anymore, as she could have her marrow replaced at any time.
But Jiang Ning was thinking, what excuse should he find to replace the 'Taiyi Yunsui' for her
Every time he called his parents, he would ask them whether they were wearing the protective jade pendant he gave them.
Normally, Jiang Ning would mail them some local Yuzhou cakes. He added some extracted spiritual objects into the cakes, which could strengthen the body after consumption.
Parents will definitely finish the food their children send them.
Due to Changqingye’s layout in Wencheng, parents were invited to join the company.
Why did he join? Because Jiang Ning's father was a little bald, the company gave him a bottle to try, and after using it, his baldness disappeared.
Jiang Ning's father resolutely joined the company and brought Jiang Ning's mother with him.
Now, relying on his own abilities, he has become the manager of a region in Wencheng.
It was a period of rapid expansion for Changqing Liquid, with many opportunities, and Jiang Ning felt that his father had the potential to do business.
In the previous life, after my parents stopped working, they opened a small shop and the business was pretty good. However, when they were preparing to expand, their health deteriorated and they were admitted to the hospital.
Now when his parents called, they were obviously much better than before and had more confidence. They said they would work hard for a year and buy a house for Jiang Ning in Yuzhou city.
It is obvious that Jiang Ning's monthly living expenses now have increased a lot, from about 600 to 2,000.
During this period, for most high school students, two thousand yuan per month for living expenses is still quite a lot, and it is basically not enough to cover daily food and drink expenses.
Jiang Ning remembered that when he went to college, he only had 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses, but at that time, it was indeed a bit tight.
Jiang Ning was thinking about this and planning his future development path when his deskmate Xue Yuantong suddenly knocked on the table and said:
"Jiang Ning, do you think I treat you well?"
"If you have something to say, tell me." Jiang Ning said without even raising his head.
"Then help me get a glass of water, just this once. When I have a day off, I will treat you to hot pot."
Xue Yuantong was lazing on the desk, hoping Jiang Ning would give her some help.
