In fact, student Xiang Ning is still very happy and proud. The hard work has not been in vain. Parents and grandma will be very happy. Also, the promise to the uncle has been fulfilled. What a wonderful thing.
But she couldn't jump up in front of a group of relatives, and she couldn't look too proud, not to mention that the uncle added a sentence at the end of the text message: Calm down, my elementary school scum.
"Your, yours... oh, uncle is really shameless!"
So Xiang Ning put down her phone and immediately picked up a piece of eggplant. When taking pictures, she called eggplant... didn't she just smile
The calm elementary school scum actually burst into laughter in his heart, so he tried his best to hold back, which was not easy for Xiang Ning, who likes to laugh.
She still doesn't know that in a certain office in the same city, a certain uncle who just advised others to be calm, and who she always likes to pretend to be calm, just couldn't help cheering, laughing stupidly, jumping to the sofa with joy up.
The sincere staff on the first floor heard the creeps...
In fact, no matter how calm Xiang Ning herself was, the others at the table couldn't calm down anymore, and a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on her.
The grandma who has always been partial to Xiao Xiang Ning, the grandma who would secretly buy her a mobile phone, and the grandma who would lie for her and help her run out to play, immediately smiled and was so happy.
Cheerfully picked up a piece of fish and put it in the small Xiang Ning bowl.
Little Xiang Ning stood up, took the bowl, and said sweetly, "Thank you, grandma."
With a height of 1.64 meters, a beautiful little face with black eyes, and long black hair over the shoulders, Xiang Ning stood up in the focus of her eyes. The relatives seemed to realize it suddenly, and the impression was soaring. The little Xiang Ning with braids has grown into a big girl, and she is so beautiful.
So beautiful, you suddenly know how to read? Not fair, not fair.
The aunt felt a little uncomfortable.
The rest of the aunts and uncles, including individual children, were more or less sincerely happy for Xiang's family and Xiang Ning.
This is not to say that anyone is a bad person, just how bad they are usually, but the inertia of comparison has existed for too long, and I am used to being the one who is slightly better in every aspect, and suddenly I see the person I used to show off and show off doing so well , Turning over to cover himself... somewhat uncomfortable.
727 against 726, only one point, if not for this point, my aunt would not be so depressed...
It happened to be the difference of one point, and I was so angry that I felt like a mouthful of old blood stuck in my heart.
Who asked her to compare Xiao Xiang Ning's grades with her own youngest son at least once a year all the way from elementary school to junior high school. After so many years of comparison, so many years of pride
Who made her say just now, "Xiaoning No. 2 Middle School should still be able to get into it? No. 2 Middle School is not bad..."
How ugly is this... face
"No, how could it be possible to improve so much all of a sudden... Besides, haven't you got a score yet? Don't be a child making random reports."
The aunt comforted herself a few words, and then she opened her mouth, trying not to be so deliberate and said: "Xiao Ning, isn't it time to check the score? How do you know the score? You can't report it randomly. It’s not good if you don’t make your parents and grandma happy for nothing.”
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiang Ning with longing eyes, as if begging for a sentence to come out of that beautiful little mouth: "I'm just kidding..."
There are actually many people who have the same doubts, such as the two people who most wanted to jump up on the spot, Xiang's father and Xiang's mother.
The two parents, when they heard their daughter's grades reported, they were almost completely confused. Even Xiang's father, who kept believing that his daughter would be able to enter No. 1 middle school, couldn't believe it when he heard the score of 727. .
After all, he just listened to a "726", and his brother-in-law said that this score can enter the experimental class of No. 1 Middle School. And his original thought was that his daughter would be thankful if she could go to No. 1 Middle School.
Also, Dad Xiang also figured out the math problem of "727 is one point more than 726".
happy.
The couple held back the moment they were about to jump up, and then held hands together under the table in a tacit understanding. Do you believe it?" mentality.
It was precisely because of this that the two who should be the most anxious didn't bother to ask any questions, but silently cast their expectant eyes on their daughter.
Father Xiang silently found a bottle of wine with his other hand, and filled his and his wife's glasses to the brim.
"If it's true, I have to toast everyone, and I have to say a few words of 'humility'."
Dad Xiang thought, after waiting for a long time, finally waited until today, after listening for so many years, finally it was my speech.
Faced with all kinds of meaningful gazes, Xiao Xiang Ning hesitated for a moment. She didn't dare to say that Xu Tingsheng helped to check, and said falteringly, "Yes, my classmate helped me to check..."
Just because of her hesitating this sentence, the hope of the eldest aunt was rekindled.
"Student? That's not sure," the aunt said, "Your classmate's family has connections with the Education Bureau?"
Little Xiang Ning, who is not good at lying, said with some embarrassment: "It seems that there may be, and I don't know."
The youngest son of the eldest aunt's family, in the same class, is only less than a month younger than Xiang Ning, and has never regarded his cousin as an opponent. This "student" cousin who has always been proud of himself in the comparison, will also hold back this time. I couldn't stop, and then said:
"Cousin, it seems that there are not many students in your school whose families are officials, right? It seems that most of them are rural and working."
The sense of superiority of the experimental middle school was exposed in such a blatant manner. My cousin and classmates who have learned from their parents are somewhat stinging, after all, he was almost suffocated just now.
Xiang Ning smiled and concentrated on eating.
The eldest aunt gained confidence, and continued to say: "Well, it just so happens that I have an acquaintance in the Education Bureau. I'll call him and ask him to help check Xiao Ning's grades and verify it. How about it?... Well, what if Really, everyone is also happy for Xiao Ning, right?"
She turned her attention to Xiang's father and mother.
Uncle Xiang Ning then said, "It's better to check."
The Xiang family couple looked at each other and said to themselves, why didn't you help with the investigation? Is it nice that this is going to be so positive
But this bad mood showed on the face, Xiang Ma nodded and said: "That's fine, then I will trouble my sister-in-law."
The eldest aunt quickly dialed the phone, and there was a man's voice on the other end, speaking in a loud voice. The eldest aunt said a few words, and said yes to the other person, and then, Xiao Xiang Ning reported the admission ticket number...
The other side said, wait a minute!
In fact, the wait didn't take long, but except for Xiang Ning, who had great trust in the uncle, everyone else was a little nervous and looking forward to it, so they all felt that the time was too long.
The eldest aunt urged carefully on the phone: "How is it, did you find it?"
"Ah, it's from Xinyan Middle School, right? It's called Xiang Ning..." The hearty voice on the other side said, which can be heard outside the microphone, "Not bad, 727 points, another No. 1 middle school, your family is really better than the other! "
This must be a well-intentioned compliment, but the phrase "one is better than the other" almost made my aunt cry.
Father Xiang patted his thigh and sighed with a smile, "Oh~ah... I'm so happy."
The father wished he could lift his precious daughter up on the spot like he did when he was a child.
Xiang's mother followed, more excited, almost tearful.
As soon as the eldest aunt hung up the phone, Xiang's father and Xiang's mother raised their wine glasses together.
"Well, uncle, sister-in-law, look, I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you... Xiao Ning, good luck, good luck. Not to mention, I'm just happy. Today, everything is good for our family. Xiao Ning has followed suit. Both of us Let’s do it first.”
After all, Dad Xiang is not used to showing off, he is not as rhythmic as Uncle Xiang Ning, who knows how to lay a trap and wait for people to question him. After finishing his sentence, he happily drank the wine. If he is proud, it is only the look on his face A smile is enough.
Several relatives also drank a little, and put down their glasses.
Grandma was especially happy. Even though she was so old, she still happily drank a small glass of red wine, and kept muttering: "I'm a little Ning, I'm good, and I've been sensible since I was a child."
Who made our little Xiang Ning beautiful, sweet-talking, and caring? No matter how bad her grades were in the past, grandma just has a partiality for her.
The uncle sneered, and said like a big brother: "Okay, good thing, Xiao Ning has finally become sensible and grown up... Whether it's progress or luck, the result is good. Xiao Ning, uncle and You said, you have to keep working hard when you get into high school, and in No. 1 middle school, you have to rely on luck, but if you are not careful, you will end up at the bottom."
Regardless of the meanings in uncle's words, the simple little Xiang Ning simply replied: "Yes."
On the side is also from No. 1 middle school. The cousin who just finished the college entrance examination is really happy for Xiang Ning. She raised the Sprite in the glass and said to Xiang Ning:
"Xiao Ning, why did you suddenly improve so much? I also said that I would wait for the results to come out and find time to help you with your high school lessons first. It turned out that you are so good, you did better than I did in the high school entrance examination."
The cousin and Xiang Ning have a good relationship, and Xiang Ning is about to respond...
The eldest aunt seemed to have found something to talk about again, and then said, "Yes, Youmei, it seems that Xiao Ning has hired a tutor for more than a year, right? Look, you two gritted your teeth and spent the money. Finally, it's still worth it. If there is some effect, this progress will come.”
Xiang Ma is what my aunt called "Youmei", Shi Youmei, the youngest of her siblings.
Hearing what the sister-in-law said, Xiang's mother murmured in her heart: "It's as if your son didn't ask for tutoring, or he started tutoring since elementary school... My Xiao Ning has only been tutoring for more than a year... Also, what do you mean by gnashing your teeth? "
It's hard to say, in comparison, the condition of Xiang's family is not good, but the money for Xiang Ning's tuition is not a big problem, not to mention, whether it is Xu Tingsheng or Li Linlin, they are tutors of all college students. the minimum hourly wage standard.
These two people, this price, if it gets out... other parents will cry to death.
"Yeah, I remember, Xiao Ning's tutor seems to be quite famous, her name is Xu..." The second aunt interjected without any malice. She was actually thinking that since this tutor is so good, why not let Xiang Ma help introduce her Next, his youngest son also looked for him when he turned around.
The aunt suddenly thought of going with her, and said, "Yes, that tutor, will your Xiaoning High School still make up? If not, my family will hire it... If you do, then ... It's okay to go together."
The most embarrassing thing at this time is Xiang's mother. From the moment the second sister said "Xu", she began to feel uncomfortable and guilty...
Little Xiang Ning was really happy now, because, "They're exaggerating about Uncle... they want to find Xu Tingsheng for tutoring, oh, it's really... except for me... Seeing that he has become a boyfriend, how dare he not give me tutoring in the future."
As a result, Xiang's mother anxiously denied it and said: "It's not that person, it's not that Xu, you made a mistake, he hasn't taught for a long time, and he hasn't contacted me again. The one who made up lessons for my Xiaoning was a female teacher named Li Linlin. Ning's progress is all thanks to her."
Xiang Ma emphasized many things in one sentence, "I haven't taught it for a long time", "I haven't contacted", "female teacher", "It's all thanks to her"... The meaning of separation is very heavy.
Xiao Xiang Ning's expression collapsed immediately, and she looked at her mother in disbelief.
"How can Mom say that? What's wrong with Uncle?...Why, he can bully people like this? You were all happy and proud just now. Could it have nothing to do with Xu Tingsheng? He hasn't done enough? Also, you don't know Teacher Li Linlin doesn't give tutoring to others at all. Is it because of my uncle that he came to teach me
In fact, you all know that, but uncle is wronged like this...why is this? "
Biting her little lip, Xiao Xiang Ning took out a few review lesson plans prepared by the uncle in her backpack, put them on the table, and said loudly on purpose:
"My teacher is really good. As for the last few review materials, I guess he didn't sleep for a few days to write them. He did it in detail and helped me get a lot of points. Otherwise, I might not be able to enter No. 1 middle school." Well, let alone such a high score in the exam."
After Xiao Xiang Ning finished speaking, her mouth was puckered, as if she was about to cry, and at the same time, she looked into her mother's eyes with aggrieved and stubborn eyes, pointed to the lesson plan on the table and said, "If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."
Little Xiang Ning got into a fight with her mother. Although she is a mother, she can't bully others like this? !
She still remembers the scene when Xu Tingsheng protected herself, was beaten, vomited blood, and sent herself home, but didn't say a word, and was chased away by her mother with a few cold "you go back first".
Now my mother said it again...
On the spot, the lesson plans were in front of them. Parent Xiang and Mother Xiang might not know Xu Tingsheng's handwriting, but they could at least tell that this was not a girl's handwriting, so if it wasn't Li Linlin's handwriting, who else could it be? he…
But this paper is full of dozens of pages, with clear words and careful sentences...
Xiang's mother's face was very ugly.
Other relatives circulated the lesson plans and sighed, especially Xiang Ning's cousin who just finished the college entrance examination kept saying that this was more attentive than their teacher's college entrance examination review...
Xiang Ma's expression became more and more uncomfortable.
Dad Xiang sighed.
Grandma said next to him: "The teacher is so good, I want to thank you."
Xiao Xiang Ning nodded and said, "Grandma, you are so kind. It's not like..."
Xiao Xiang Ning still didn't dare to say what offended her parents.
Taking back the lesson plan that had been passed around, carefully folded it and put it in a small bag, Xiang Ning got off the table and said angrily, "I'm full."
