After Xu Huaishi arrived home in a luxury car, her feet felt like she was stepping on a cotton field, and her whole body was empty and floating, but she didn't dare to share it with her mother and grandma. After dinner, she went back to her study, opened WeChat and told Ruan Yu what happened Listen: [His mother also asked me to visit their house in the first month of the lunar year to take care of him to study, am I going to step into a wealthy family?]
Ruan Yu immediately replied: [It's true that novels come from life. The next time I want to write a domineering president's article, I will ask you for material.]
Xu Huaishi: [But I'm afraid this is not a story about the domineering president, but a story about the domineering mother-in-law...]
She subconsciously typed out this line, and quickly retracted it after sending it.
Bah, what mother-in-law!
But it seemed that the withdrawal was too late, so Xu Huaisong quickly called.
She was taken aback for a moment, and when she connected, she heard the other end say, "Xu Huaishi, you are so courageous, have you found your mother-in-law?"
"Wow," she complained, "Brother, why are you just watching me chatting with my sister-in-law?"
"I see it openly, don't avert your eyes."
"I just slipped my hand like that..."
Xu Huaisong wanted to say something on the other end, but Ruan Yu snatched the phone: "It's okay, you go to do your homework and ignore your brother."
She said "Oh" and asked, "Is he not angry?"
"No," Ruan Yu said jokingly, "He just heard about Raventon, and he was afraid that he would not make enough money to give you a dowry in the future."
Xu Huaishi choked, and heard a "woo woo woo" sound from Ruan Yu, as if someone had pinched his mouth.
She covered her ears and yelled: "Brother, don't tell me about the eighteen prohibitions, I'm still a child!"
Xu Huaisong answered the phone: "It's none of your business, it's almost the end of the semester, go and study hard."
Xu Huaishi, who was "flicked away", turned her head and picked up the examination paper. Until 10:30 in the evening, she received a WeChat message from Zhao Yi: [Are you asleep?]
[Sleep.]
[…]
[Just click something, if you have something to say, hurry up.]
[The recitation of ancient history makes me dizzy.]
[Dizziness, go take your medicine, why are you looking for me?]
[If you are free, read three to five pages of the Outline of Ancient History, and send the recording to me, and I will listen to it in bed.]
[I'm full, sick?]
[It will take you twenty minutes.]
[I don't read that, it's midnight, my family is asleep!]
[oh.]
oh
Xu Huaishi smiled "hehe", turned the phone over and put it aside to charge, then turned to go to the bathroom to wash up. After coming out, she wanted to lie on the bed and rest, so she lifted the quilt and went down again, picked up the phone and opened the recording interface.
She sighed and hid in the toilet with the historical outline, sat on the toilet seat, and cleared her throat in a low voice: "In terms of measures: strengthen the centralization of power with the three provinces and six ministries system, and reform the official selection system through the imperial examination system..."
After reading a page in one go, Xu Huaishi pressed pause, went outside to drink a glass of water, came back and continued, and at the end of the reading, she was drowsy and dizzy, and said viciously to the phone: "I'm exhausted! There is half a page left to read." After speaking, he stood up, was about to press the end button, and paused as if remembering something, and said softly, "Good night."
After finishing the recording, she sent the file to Zhao Yi's mailbox.
In the final exam a week later, half of Zhao Yi's history was scored on those three pages of knowledge points.
No. 1 Middle School had a winter vacation, and soon it would be the New Year's Eve.
Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu went to Suzhou to celebrate the New Year, and Ruan's parents and Ruan's mother were also brought back to their hometown. On New Year's Eve, the two families had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together, and gathered in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Xu Huaishi also went back to her room.
My elder brother and sister-in-law will definitely not go to bed so early, but she doesn't want to be a light bulb, so she lies on the bed and plays black and white games with a few classmates in the class while waiting for zero.
The voice at the same table came from the voice: "Five missing one, isn't Mr. Zhao coming?"
Xu Huaishi yawned and said, "I asked, but he said he wasn't free."
At first, she didn't think that he, a kid, had anything to do on New Year's Eve, but since she saw the Reventon last time, she imagined the scene of their family's New Year's Eve.
For the wealthy, I guess there is a set of high society methods, four generations live under the same roof, well-dressed, hold a banquet, hold a dance, and everyone open champagne and dance together.
She let out a "tsk", lowered her head and concentrated on playing the game, playing vigorously one after another, and finally forgot about waiting for the zero o'clock, until a video invitation popped up suddenly, interrupting her game interface.
Zhao Yi.
She slapped the bed sheet violently, and said angrily as soon as she got connected: "Zhao..." As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she saw a beautiful woman's face.
In an instant, her expression changed from ferocious to full of spring, and the word "iron" slipped to her lips abruptly: "...Mother Yi."
On the opposite side, Mother Zhao seemed to be outside, with a white villa in the background. She smiled and said, "Hi Huaishi, Auntie sent you a red envelope with Alipay, remember to accept it."
She froze for a moment, but before she could react, she heard Zhao Yi's voice: "Mom, it's almost midnight, give me your phone!"
Then the camera flickered and changed to his face.
I don't know if Zhao's mother has gone far, she didn't dare to yell at him, so she swallowed the interruption of the game and asked him in a low voice: "What red envelope..."
Zhao Yi said, "New Year's money." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fireworks rising into the sky in the background.
He turned the camera, aimed at the sky, and asked, "Can you see it?"
Xu Huaishi let out a "wow", and saw the bright silvery yellow of the screen pouring down from the dark sky.
Knowing that she saw it, Zhao Yi held up his mobile phone and said, "Fireworks are prohibited in your community, and I live in the suburbs."
Xu Huaishi looked at the screen sincerely and sighed: "It's nice to be rich..."
Unexpectedly, Zhao's mother was still there, and when she heard this, she immediately said: "Ask Huai Shi to come and visit me when she is free in the first month of the lunar year."
Xu Huaishi choked, and heard Zhao Yi say "Oh" again, repeating: "My mother told you to come and visit me when you are free in the first month."
She laughed and passed by with a sloppy eye, waited until the fireworks burned out, hung up the video, opened Alipay, her hands trembled in fright, and the phone fell off the bed with a "slap".
She quickly bent down to pick it up, picked it up and looked at it again.
That's right, I received a transfer of 8888 yuan.
Of course Xu Huaishi didn't dare to accept the money, so she ran to knock on the door of her brother and sister-in-law, and asked what should be done.
Xu Huaisong and Ruan Yu looked at each other.
Ruan Yu said: "It's not appropriate to return it intact."
Xu Huaisong said "um", and asked Xu Huaishi, "How much is your classmate's Alipay?"
"What to do?"
Ruan Yu explained: "At this time, your brother will also send him a red envelope. It doesn't look like our family is petty, and it's done up to the etiquette, so you can feel at ease."
She said "oh", sent Zhao Yi's Alipay to Xu Huaisong, and said, "Brother, you can't give less than his mother."
Xu Huaisong glanced at her and said "I know", and the backhand was a 9999.
Of course Xu Huaishi was not ashamed to actually visit Zhao Yi's house during the first month, but on the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar new year, she went to the city library with him for self-study and explained a few math papers to him.
As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, I went back to school, studied for two weeks, and soon came the day of the 100-day oath.
After the swearing-in, a countdown card was hung on the blackboard in the classroom, and a card for each class was pasted on the wall beside it. On the front of the card was a motto, and on the back was everyone's ideal university.
Xu Huaishi wrote "I want to be admitted to Hangzhou University", and after posting it, he asked Zhao Yi what it was.
He said uninterestedly: "Curious? Then tear it off and see for yourself."
Xu Huaishi snorted and said, "I'm not curious, I'm not interested." At the end of the evening self-study, the classroom was empty, but she came to the wall like a thief and found Zhao Yi's card.
His motto is: "Work hard, because if you can't read well, you will go back to inherit the family business."
"..." She choked with anger, and almost wanted to turn around and leave, the toe of her shoe turned and stopped, turned around, and carefully tore open the card.
The handwriting on the back is obviously more neat and rigorous than the front, and it can be seen that he wrote very seriously.
He said: "I want to go to the university that Xu Huaishi wants to go to."
She held the card and stood there silently. After a while, she stuck the card back, rubbed her sore nose, and cursed: "Stupid."
The next moment, I suddenly heard a male voice coming from the window: "Who are you scolding?"
She screamed "Ah", turned around and saw Zhao Yi lying there with a displeased expression on his face.
Xu Huaishi patted her chest in shock: "You scared the soul out of me!"
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, it's you who sneaked first, blame me?"
She closed the lights and windows of the classroom tightly, went outside the door and snorted coldly and said, "Yes, I stole the chicken and dog's card." Then she turned her head and went down the stairs.
The corner of Zhao Yi's mouth twitched, and he chased after him: "Where are you going?"
The corridor was pitch-black, Xu Huaishi was night-blind and couldn't see clearly, so she answered him as he walked: "Of course I'm going back to the hotel..." Halfway through his words, his feet were empty.
Zhao Yi grabbed her hand: "Be careful, you."
"Aren't you going to drag me?" She looked at him, as if she was really not frightened by the step on the ground just now, and continued to walk down.
Zhao Yi was silent behind her, followed her and said, "Then if I don't get into your university, who will drag you at this time?"
Xu Huaishi glanced at him with a smile: "Hey, don't think too highly of yourself, you won't pass the exam, and someone else is dragging me. I'm so good-looking, so there must be boys chasing after me when I go to college."
Zhao Yi choked, looking like he was about to scold, but swallowed the words back, and instead lowered his eyes and said, "Well, that's true."
Xu Huaishi hesitated slightly.
The originally unintentional joke suddenly brought a strange atmosphere between the two of them.
She opened her mouth to explain something, but she didn't know how to express it. After going downstairs in silence, she saw a fork in front of the two of them.
To the left is the boys' dormitory, to the right is the girls' dormitory.
This simple fork in the three years of high school, which has been walked many times, seems to have been endowed with a different meaning in the current situation. The two of them stopped at the same time and stopped there.
In such a stalemate, no one took the first step to this node of parting ways.
A minute later, Zhao Yi said, "Go back quickly, the dormitory building is about to close."
Xu Huaishi suddenly said: "I want to go to the playground for a walk."
He turned his head to look at her and didn't say "yes" or "no". Seeing that she turned her head first and took a step, he followed.
Xu Huaishi walked in front, looked up at the stars in the sky, and said: "I used to think that I would be free after the third year of high school, but now that I am about to graduate, I feel that the third year of high school is actually quite good."
Zhao Yi walked to a place beside her: "No matter how good it is, it will end. What should come will always come."
"Then when that day comes, what do you want to do?"
"Go home after the exam and have a spa."
"..."
Zhao Yi laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding."
"Blind and unscrupulous." She glanced at him, fell into silence again, and waited until she walked around the playground and walked around to the side door before saying, "Go back from here."
"Why take the long way?"
She smiled and kicked the pebbles: "Pass through the girls' dormitory first, then the boys' dormitory, so we don't have to go our separate ways."
Zhao Yi followed with a smile: "Oh, then I'll take you back."
After a hundred days, time passed faster and faster.
It seems that the eve of the college entrance examination has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Because the No. 1 Middle School is one of the test centers for the college entrance examination, the students in the first and second grades of senior high school have been on vacation, and the senior three students have also withdrawn, and temporarily went to the junior high school to borrow classrooms.
The last night of self-study before the college entrance examination ended, and the students of all grades seemed to have made an agreement. The bell rang three times, but still no one came out of the classroom.
The dean walked through the quiet corridor, and when he passed Class Seven, he knocked on their door panels: "Students, get out of class is over, you can go back to the dormitory, look at each of you. Give them all back?"
There are many girls in the liberal arts class, and some people's eyes are red when they hear this. One eye circle is red, just like onychomycosis, it spreads to both of them, and then spreads more and more.
Xu Huaishi didn't have anything to do at first, but when she saw her deskmate start to wipe away her tears, she also had a sore nose and took out a tissue.
The dean came in and said with a smile, "Oh, in this case, let's sing a song together."
Zhao Yi asked angrily, "What are you singing, teacher, aren't you tone deaf?"
The whole class roared with laughter, Xu Huaishi's tears were forced back at once, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Yi in the back row, who was looking at her and smiling, and there seemed to be some sparkle in his eyes.
The dean lowered his glasses and glanced at Zhao Yi: "Come on, it's just you, come up and lead the singing, and sing "Young Battlefield"."
Zhao Yi choked: "Teacher, I'm also tone deaf."
"Then you can find someone who can play five notes to help you."
He stood up, looked around, and said with a smile, "Teacher, Xu Huaishi can sing."
Xu Huaishi, who was named, turned her head and gave him a sharp look, but other students in the class followed suit, saying it was her.
She had no choice but to stand on the podium, cleared her throat, and began to sing a cappella: "Today, I am finally standing on this young battlefield. Please give me a ray of love. Today, I will go to the distant place of victory. I will This world, lights up for you... "
The word "Liang" fell, and the students below joined together in unison, and the singing of fifty or so people shocked the next door. Classes 6 and 8 heard it and sang together, and then passed from one classroom to another.
The loud and clear singing shook the whole building.
Standing on the podium, Xu Huaishi couldn't hold back her hot tears. At the end of the song, all the girls in the class were crying and laughing.
The dean also took off his glasses and began to wipe his tears. When the singing was over and the students finally left, he walked out of the classroom, looked into the night and sighed: "It's another class..."
