On the seventh day of the New Year, the adults were busy with their own things, some were filming, some were working, and some were doing business.
Xia Wenyue had already contacted the company that she wanted to buy the machine last year. After she made a phone call and transferred the deposit, the other party shipped the machine directly by train, and it would arrive in about seven or eight days.
During the waiting period, Xia Wenyue sold sesame cakes and went about handling various trademark and qualification procedures.
At that time, the benefits of Mao Huimei's work were reflected. Although they were not in the same industry, the relevant departments and processes to be found were similar. After consulting her colleagues, she helped Xia Xiyue avoid many detours.
Xia Mian and Mao Huilan became the focus of everyone's attention, after all, they would have to take the transfer exam in a few days.
I also don’t know what Xia Wenyue said to Xiao Feng.
Anyway, the little guy started to supervise Xia Mian's studies personally, and he didn't go out to play. He dragged Xia Mian to the studio after breakfast early in the morning.
Because Xiao Feng was still young, he had to be accompanied by an adult when he was painting, so Xia Mian set up a desk in his studio. Usually, when he was painting, she would study beside him.
Although it looked the same as usual at the moment, the little guy was actually holding up his small drawing board and doodling while accompanying her to study.
Xia Mian coughed slightly, and he immediately ran out. A moment later, he came back with a half-cup of water and handed it to her, "Auntie, drink some water."
Hearing the voices of Mao Huizhu and Mao Huilan asking for apples outside, he stood up and ran out. Before leaving, he told Xia Mian, "Aunt, study hard."
"Okay, okay." Xia Mian watched the little guy leave, immediately put down the book, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He was watching so strictly.
The second aunt's trick was so good that she felt embarrassed to slack off.
Originally thinking that he should play with Mao Huizhu for a while longer, Xia Mian was just about to relax when he heard the sound of footsteps and hurriedly picked up the book.
It's been a long time since I felt the urgency of being monitored by my parents while studying.
Sure enough, it was Xiao Feng who pushed the door open, holding a plate in her little hand, with apples cut into small pieces on the plate.
"Auntie." The child put the plate on her table and said, "Take a break and eat an apple."
Exactly the same way she usually did when she took care of him.
While Xia Mian finds it funny, she can only hug the little guy tightly in her arms and rub him to relieve stress.
By the time the machine Xia Wenyue bought arrived, Yanda High School had started school. Xia Mian finally ended her sweet torture and went to take the transfer exam with Mao Huilan.
Xia Wenyue and Xia Mian first sent Mao Huilan to the junior high school together. After handing her over to the teacher, Xia Wenyue immediately sent Xia Mian to the high school.
Although Xia Mian repeatedly said that she could do it alone, Xia Wenyue disagreed, "No matter how old they are, they are still children. How can children go to school without parents? Besides, I have to meet the teacher no matter what."
Although Xia Mian was helpless, she felt warm in her heart.
The first year of high school has not been divided yet. There are a total of nine courses: Chinese, mathematics, English, politics, history, geography, biology, chemistry and politics. Four of them are tested in the morning and five in the afternoon.
There were a total of six students, including Xia Mian, who came to take the exam at the same time. They were arranged to take the exam together in a small conference room.
Most of the questions in the test paper are basic, with one or two advanced questions.
After reviewing for a few months, and with the high-pressure training under Xiao Feng's supervision, Xia Mian did very well.
After finishing the last exam in the morning, Xia Mian went out and saw Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen waiting at the door.
"Why are you here?" she asked with some surprise.
Sun Yuexin smiled and said, "On the first day of school, I just picked up new books and cleaned up. I'm almost done. I heard that the transfer exam is here, so I came to take a look."
Li Lizhen asked, "How did you do on the exam?"
Xia Mian smiled and said, "Anyway, I have done everything I can do."
Sun Yuexin was surprised, "Is there anyone who can do it? Is the question difficult?"
Xia Mian tilted her head and said, "No, I know how to do it."
Sun Yuexin was stunned for a moment, and then she and Li Lizhen laughed out loud, "That's too bad."
Xia Mian took their arms and said, "Let's go home."
When the three of them came down from upstairs, they encountered groups of students.
After walking for more than ten meters, Sun Yuexin couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time I've enjoyed this kind of attention."
Xia Mian raised her hand to smooth her hair and said shamelessly, "Then you'll have to get used to it in the future."
Sun Yuexin couldn't help rolling her eyes, and Li Lizhen laughed.
Xia Mian, who aspires to be a little fairy, of course dressed up beautifully on such an important day today.
Besides, she is good-looking and her dress is extraordinary, but she has some small details that were not available in that era, such as a thin belt and a simple and rustic homemade sweater chain; plus she has a special temperament, so she easily becomes the focus of her classmates.
The boys and girls walking in front kept looking back at her.
Xia Mian sighed with satisfaction. She knew that she would definitely have a wonderful high school life as a little fairy in her next life. All the things like the grumpy witch would be gone forever!
When the three were about to leave the high school department, they actually ran into Gu Zhou and Tian Xueya.
The two seemed to have made some progress, and the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.
Tian Xueya saw Xia Mian stunned for a moment, then quietly pulled Gu Zhou.
When Gu Zhou looked over, he and Xia Mian's eyes met.
Xia Mian immediately smiled and greeted them warmly, "School Prince Gu, School Princess Tian, hello."
Gu Zhou paused, his face slightly reddened, "Okay."
"Okay." Tian Xueya's voice was very soft, as if she was a little afraid of her, and she hid closely beside Gu Zhou.
This action reminded Gu Zhou that Xia Mian seemed to be related to a criminal case. He forced a smile, said a simple hello, and left quickly with Tian Xueya.
Sun Yuexin said angrily, "What do you mean by pretending to be noble? You must be doing it on purpose!"
Li Lizhen's eyes dimmed for a moment, then she frowned and said, "She will definitely say something bad about Xia Mian this afternoon."
Xia Mian shrugged and didn't care. "Who cares? I can't stop her from talking. She can do whatever she wants."
"Hurry up, I have to pick up my sister."
Li Lizhen knew Tian Xueya quite well. When Xia Mian came out after finishing her exams in the afternoon, the attention she received along the way was no longer just pure amazement and curiosity.
There is also dodging and weirdness.
"… "
"Did you really go to the police station? You must be kidding."
"But she is so beautiful. I think it must be her. There are several transfer students here. It must be someone else."
“I think so, too.”
"But they all said that she knew Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen. There couldn't be anyone else besides her."
"What, what are you talking about?"
"I told you that there was a transfer student from the first year of high school who was sent to the police station..."
"… "
In the past, toilets were built in a separate building with blue bricks, with a wall in the middle separating men and women, and there was no sound insulation at all.
So I could hear the discussions on both sides clearly.
Coming out of the toilet, Sun Yuexin angrily said, "Fuck, Tian Xueya is so disgusting."
Li Lizhen said, "We had already discussed and made a plan this afternoon to prevent Tian Xueya from taking advantage of the situation."
"So a lot of people saw you at noon. The boys in the class were talking about it like crazy. They said there was a very pretty transfer student in the first year of high school, and they all hoped she could be assigned to our class."
"I thought it was bad at the time," Li Lizhen said angrily, "Sure enough, when Tian Xueya usually cleans, she wants all the boys to help her. But today she was very active, handing over brooms and rags, and whispering to those boys for the whole afternoon. She must have said that at that time."
"Really?" Xia Mian held her face happily, "Everyone says I'm beautiful?"
Sun Yuexin grabbed her shoulders and shook her depressedly, "Sister, wake up and talk about business!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Xia Mian hurriedly comforted him, "Why should you be angry about such an outrageous rumor? Once they see me as a real fairy, all the rumors will be broken."
"She is spreading rumors now, but when the truth comes out, she will be the one who will be embarrassed."
Li Lizhen is not so optimistic. "Rumors are not so easy to dispel. After a long time, who knows what will be said about them."
Sun Yuexin also said, "We heard that there was a female classmate in Longcheng Junior High School. During the physical examination, the doctor said she had a lump on her stomach. Later, it was spread that the female classmate was pregnant."
"The matter was never made clear in the end. Many hooligans bullied her because of this. One time, they beat her so hard that she was hospitalized. Her parents found out about this and quickly transferred her away."
Xia Mian frowned when he heard this.
"Yes," Li Lizhen said, "Besides, those men become stupid when they meet Tian Xueya. Everything she says is right."
"Guys who only judge people by appearance!"
Xia Mian said, "Don't worry, I am the girl, and I am here in person, and she is the only one who has the mouth."
"And..." Xia Mian smiled and held her face, "If we talk about judging people by appearance, I am still inferior to her!"
Sun Yuexin was speechless, "You are really hopeless. Why didn't I realize how narcissistic you are before?"
Li Lizhen said, "Then hurry up and use your beauty to dispel the rumors."
"Come on, come on, the fire will break." Xia Mian said.
Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen thought she was joking, but she immediately made a gesture to them to keep quiet, and then led them to follow the three boys who were discussing enthusiastically.
"… "
"Really? He really went to the police station. Why?"
"I know it very well. Girls wouldn't fight, would they?"
"What else could it be? Stealing? Fraud?"
"Is what you said true?" Xia Mian interrupted in surprise, "Has anyone from our batch of transfer students been sent to the police station?"
The three boys turned around and saw her, their faces immediately turned red. It was unclear whether it was because they were caught saying bad things about others, or because they were suddenly talked to by a beautiful girl.
Xia Mian asked curiously, "Who is it?"
It's you!
