Gold, nine and silver are ten, and before the first stubble of the harvested wheat is harvested, the dogs in the fields have to harvest their bones. Jiang Shen helped Gou Mao finish copying his summer vacation homework overnight, and got on the bus almost dozing off the next day. Shu Bao secretly stuffed the baby bottle into his bag, and Chen Maoxiu put two eggs in it not to be outdone.

Chen Qingling frowned while watching, and forced Jiang Shen to wake up.

Jiang Shen rubbed his eyes and stared at her in bewilderment. Qing Lingzi took out the big white rabbit from his pocket and asked him, "Do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Shen nodded, he took the candy happily, and was very moved: "Qing Lingzi, you are so kind."

Qing Lingzi smiled beautifully, and glanced at Shubao and Gou Mao proudly. The two elder brothers couldn't help but roll their eyes, and Gou Mao gave a disdainful "cut".

After eating the candy, Jiang Shen carefully put away the candy wrappers, carried Qing Lingzi's schoolbag, leaned on the seat and slowly dozed off again.

Although he is a transfer student, he is only in the third grade of elementary school after all, and eight or nine-year-old children are more receptive than adults. Jiang Shen was tall, and was arranged by the teacher to sit in the back. Qing Lingzi sat in the front and turned his head to wink at him.

The first day of class was nothing new, probably because I was used to being free in the fields in the countryside, and it was a bit uncomfortable for Jiang Shen to sit for 40 minutes in each class in a regular manner. When it was almost time for dinner, he couldn't help deserting, turned his eyes to look out of the window, and wondered if it was because of the first day of school, there was a drum team rehearsing on the playground, although he couldn't tell what the song was playing , but the rhythm was good. Jiang Shen held his chin and listened to the beat in his heart. The feet under the stool were not honest, they were close together and separated, and they rose and fell.

The drum team blew "Joyful Yang", and Jiang Shen followed the rhythm back and forth and stepped on the beat. Maybe he was too fascinated, but Jiang Shen didn't realize how loud the sound of his shoes hitting the ground, even the teacher stopped To see him.

Qing Lingzi whispered: "Shenzi! Shenzi...Jiang Shen!"

Jiang Shen kicked the table with a "bang", he was startled, and hurriedly held onto the book that almost fell.

Qing Lingzi: "..."

The teacher laughed: "Can't help but dance in class?"

Jiang Shen blushed, and he didn't know how to explain it.

The teacher waved his hand: "Okay, okay, listen carefully."

After finally making it to noon, Qing Lingzi took Jiang Shen to the cafeteria to have a meal. The school cafeteria where elementary school and junior high school are mixed together is very big. Jiang Shen was queuing up when he heard the sound of dog hair coming from afar. Call yourself by name.

He turned his head, Shubao waved to him: "You bought it and sit here!"

Jiang Shen let out an "ah".

Qing Lingzi's rice bowl had already been prepared by the help of Jiang Shen, and when Jiang Shen managed to squeeze it out, the other three had already eaten most of it. Chen Maoxiu glanced at Jiang Shen's rice bowl, shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the rice was pretty good There are only two dishes.

Qing Lingzi bit his chopsticks and blinked: "You don't want to buy a big one?"

"It's too expensive..." Jiang Shen said vaguely, "Eggs are the same."

Shen Shubao didn't say much, he took chicken legs out of his bowl and put them on Jiang Shen's rice: "I beat too much, you eat for me."

Jiang Shen opened his eyes wide: "Where are the chicken legs!"

"What's wrong with the chicken legs?" Shubao dismissed, "It's not like I haven't eaten it before." He pointed to the bones in his bowl, "I've eaten one."

Jiang Shen frowned. He poked the meat with his chopsticks, looked up at Shubao and said, "Brother Shubao, let me wash the dishes for you."

As soon as the words fell, the dog next to him immediately gave him a big dish: "Then help me wash the dishes by the way!"

Jiang Shen: "..."

Qing Lingzi leaned against the edge of the pool and licked the yogurt cover, while scolding Jiang Shen: "Are you asking for trouble on your own? You can take whatever the two of them give you. You are being polite." She opened another box of yogurt and handed it to him. Jiang Shen, "Nun."

Jiang Shen smiled: "Where's your bowl?"

Qing Lingzi took it for granted: "The dog hair has been washed."

Jiang Shen sighed: "Your brother is so kind to you."

"Huh—" Qing Lingzi pursed his lips into a line and said tremblingly, "Don't associate me with that rotten person, it's disgusting."

Jiang Shen disagreed: "How can you say that about your brother?"

"You don't know." Qing Lingzi said angrily, "Chen Maoxiu started messing around in the first day of junior high school. This is not a high school. It's a mess of people. Chen Maoxiu was caught by me several times to skip class and go out to sing KTV .” Qing Lingzi wrinkled his nose and said viciously, “I look down on him!”

"Gou Mao is not that kind of person." Jiang Shen didn't believe it, "He's just playful."

Qing Lingzi snorted, bit the yogurt tube and muttered: "Forget it if you don't believe it... You will understand when I see you next time."

As soon as the afternoon class was over, Jiang Shen was in a hurry to go to the dance room. Qing Lingzi caught up with him in the corridor and forced a box of yogurt into his bag.

"Drink it when you're hungry." As if afraid that he would refuse, Qing Lingzi emphasized again, "He is lactose intolerant and can't drink this box of dog hair!"

"..." Jiang Shen thought to himself, what is "lactose intolerance"? How can Qing Lingzi understand such a fashionable word

The school where elementary school and high school are mixed together naturally covers a large area, and Jiang Shen had to walk across the entire playground to get to the school gate. Junior high school was late, and Shen Shubao was still in detention for training. He stepped on a football, raised his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Shenzi! Don't run too fast!"

Jiang Shen waved while running, he had no time to speak, and ran against the wind, the schoolbag on his shoulders shaking back and forth. He ran across the plastic road and through the street pavilion, and the purple wisteria flowers fell on his shoulders.

The old man at the gate laughed and said loudly: "Who are you running! Be careful not to fall!"

Jiang Shen ran out of the school gate and saw Chen Maoxiu squatting with a group of people under the wall of the canteen next to the school gate, Gou Mao still had a lollipop in his mouth. He was startled when he saw Jiang Shen: "School is over so early?"

Jiang Shen had never met his friends in Gou Mao School, and he didn't seem to be dressed like he was in school. He grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and said honestly, "I'm going to the Cultural Palace."

"Oh, that's right." Chen Maoxiu took out a lollipop and handed it to him, "Hurry up, don't be late."

Jiang Shen took the candy and didn't leave right away. He glanced at the person behind Chen Maoxiu: "Dog... Brother Maoxiu, aren't you going to class?"

Gou Mao chased him away vaguely: "I'll be back in a while."

Jiang Shen was in a hurry to catch the bus, but when he was leaving, he couldn't help looking back at each step. Gou Mao turned and walked towards the group of people. The other party seemed to ask, "Who is it?"

Gou Mao's tone was ordinary: "I will help take care of the neighbor's child..."

Jiang Shen was not in a hurry when he got in the car, he was in a daze, thinking about the people Gou Mao knew, what Qing Lingzi had said, his head seemed to be in a mess like he couldn't hold too many things, and he almost missed the platform of the Cultural Palace .

Many people came to the dance room, Jiang Shen looked around but couldn't find Song Xin, so he went to ask Mr. Lin, she knew something.

"School has started, Song Xin needs to make up lessons." Teacher Lin signaled the students to start warming up and stretching their legs. She looked at Jiang Shen, "Have you started school too?"

Jiang Shen nodded: "I'm only in the third grade."

Teacher Lin smiled: "Hurry up, you will be able to enter junior high school in a short while."

Jiang Shen: "Can't dance after entering junior high school?"

Teacher Lin was stunned: "Who told you?"

"Song Xin said it before." Jiang Shen relaxed his upper body against the floor.

His muscles and bones are really tough and soft. After practicing the basic skills for a while, the cross split can be compared to the one that bends inward. Teacher Lin supported his waist and did a few basic movements.

"Song Xin is not sure yet." Teacher Lin said, "She likes dancing very much, so she should be able to persevere." After speaking, she looked at Jiang Shen again, "And you, do you like dancing?"

"I like it." Jiang Shen nodded seriously, and he said without hesitation, "I want to keep dancing, keep dancing."

Teacher Lin didn't speak, she sighed, her brows and eyes softened, and finally she just gently touched the top of Jiang Shen's head.

Bai Jin had a chance to rest in the ring after finishing the rope-drawing training. His head was covered with a towel, and sweat dripped from his forehead. Lai Song gave him an energy drink and was opening the bottle cap when he saw Jiang Deep in the back door to look inside.

"Little Swan." Lai Song called him, "Have you finished class?"

Jiang Shen was not too embarrassed to come in: "Where's Bai Jinyi?"

Bai Jin took off the towel from his head, and he straightened his hair impatiently: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Shen seemed very happy to see him: "Come out and play."

Bai Jin threw a towel to Lai Song and walked out alone.

Jiang Shen put his hands behind his back with a mysterious expression: "Close your eyes first."

Bai Jin frowned with thick black eyebrows: "You are so annoying." He said, but his eyelids were obediently closed.

Jiang Shen carefully held the box of Dove chocolates, and put it in front of Bai Jinyi: "Open it."

Bai Jinyi: "..." He closed one eye and narrowed the other.

Jiang Shen grinned: "De-fu-chocolate! For you!"

Bai Jinyi didn't say a word, he looked at the box packaging, he didn't even tear off the price tag of 54 yuan and 8 yuan, Jiang Shen smiled stupidly and naively, as if he gave a good thing, proud and hurt .

"Try it." Jiang Shen urged him, "It's delicious."

Bai Jinyi tore a small piece into his mouth as he wished, and he glanced at the other party: "Do you want to eat?"

"I don't eat." Jiang Shen said firmly, "I bought them for you."

Bai Jinyi: "Your saliva is dripping out."

Jiang Shen was so frightened that he immediately touched his chin.

Bai Jin snorted and laughed, and said lightly, "I lied to you."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Lai Song was surprised when Bai Jinyi took back a large box of chocolates: "Who gave it to you? Little Swan?"

Bai Jin nodded: "Yes."

Lai Song: "Wow, he is too sweet, but you can't eat too much of this food, the sugar content is too high."

Bai Jin glanced at him, as if he was too lazy to say more, and went inside to find his bag.

Lai Song chased after him like an idiot: "Give me one, and help you share some."

Bai Jinyi pretended not to hear, took out the bag and stuffed the chocolate into it.

Lai Song looked down: "Why, you are so stingy, you can't even eat one?"

"No." As soon as Bai Jin closed the cabinet door, he locked it, wrapped the key rope a few times and tied it firmly around his wrist, "Little Swan bought me something to eat, and I'm the only one, understand?"
