Money is a good thing. In her previous life, because she didn't have money to treat her illness early, her mother died of cancer.
Less than a month after her mother's death, her fathe...
Meals included
He irritated Jiang Zhizhi.
When they arrived at the study at home, Jiang Zhizhi opened the math workbook and threw it to him. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and started reading.
Lu Xiye had never been afraid of anyone, but at this moment he was scared in front of Jiang Zhizhi. He picked up the pen and did the questions honestly, looking up at her from time to time, secretly observing whether she had calmed down.
"It's been forty minutes, how come you haven't even finished the fill-in-the-blank questions?" Jiang Zhizhi had already read two-thirds of the book in her hand during the day. After finishing the book, she heard the sound of 500 yuan being deposited into her account. She looked up at Lu Xiye, but found that he was dawdling there. After such a long time, he had just finished the first few multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions.
Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi finally spoke to him, Lu Xiye chuckled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Zhizhi put the books in her hand into her schoolbag and took out a new one.
"I'm hungry. I'll go get something to eat." Lu Xiye said as he stood up and ran into the kitchen. After a while, he came back with a large box of snacks and put it aside.
"The time you spend eating is also counted as tutoring time." Jiang Zhizhi reminded him lazily as she opened the book.
Lu Xiye tore open the packaging of a large chicken drumstick, took a bite, and ate it with a delicious crunch. "When are you having dinner?"
"Go home and eat."
"You'll be home by half past eight, won't you?"
"Um."
"Eating too late is not good, it will make you fat. How about we eat first and then study? I'll pay for your meal."
After school, Lu Xiye would immediately study intensively for two hours, and he would always be so hungry that he could hardly bear it.
Jiang Zhizhi on the opposite side always looked calm, as if she had no worldly desires other than studying.
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment before she realized that Lu Xiye was now at the age where he could eat his father out of money. She herself preferred to maintain a moderate sense of hunger, as hunger would make the brain more flexible and more efficient in solving problems and studying.
But she did this herself and couldn't force Lu Xiye to do the same.
After a pause, she said, "I'll give you twenty minutes to eat from now on."
"Then I'll ask Aunt Zhou to cook dinner every day before I leave."
"Who is Aunt Zhou?"
"My dad hired a nanny for me."
Jiang Zhizhi smacked her lips and said, "You decide for yourself."
At seven forty-five, Jiang Zhizhi packed up and went home on time.
Lu Xiye stuffed a small piece of bread into her schoolbag.
Jiang Zhizhi frowned, "What are you doing?"
He grinned and asked tentatively, "You're not angry anymore?"
Jiang Zhizhi knew that Lu Xiye was talking about the incident after school. She looked up at him seriously and said, "Lu Xiye, this is not a question of whether I am angry or not. The question is whether you will correct it! If you don't correct your bad habits, we won't even be friends in the future."
After saying that, Jiang Zhizhi threw the small bread back into his hand, turned around, put on her schoolbag and left.
Lu Xiye was stunned by Jiang Zhizhi's scolding. Holding the small bread in his hand, he watched Jiang Zhizhi's back as she left. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He tore open the packaging of the small bread in a sullen manner and stuffed it into his mouth to eat.
He still felt unconvinced.
Jiang Zhizhi treats Xu Qingbo differently from other students!
*
On Wednesday, Labor Day, everyone agreed to gather at the school gate.
When Lin Qingyu told Jiang Zhizhi the list yesterday, there were less than ten people, but when Jiang Zhizhi got off the bus, there were at least twenty people in the class at the school gate.
In addition to Lin Qingyu, Xu Qingbo, Li Rongrong and others, there were also Lu Xiye and a dozen boys in the class who always hung out with him.
More than twenty people were divided into two groups, one group took the top few places in the class, and the other group took the bottom few places in the class.
Lu Xiye was wearing a red sweatshirt and was tall, making him stand out among the group of boys.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at him and walked towards Lin Qingyu and Xu Qingbo.
"Alright, alright, everyone's here, let's go." Lin Qingyu, as the squad leader, took the initiative to lead everyone. "Let's take the bus, No. 16 and transfer to No. 5. It only takes one transfer and we'll get there in about an hour and a half."
They followed Lin Qingyu and walked towards the bus stop opposite.
Just as they were about to reach the crosswalk, a red bus stopped at the school gate.
Lu Xiye and the group of boys got on the car in a noisy manner.
"Let's go! Let's go hiking! Thanks to Brother Ye, we can take the bus, unlike some people who can only take the public transportation." Wang Wei said proudly to others.
The voice was neither loud nor low, but loud enough for Jiang Zhizhi and others to hear.
Lin Qingyu was so angry that she glared at Wang Wei and said to Jiang Zhizhi and others, "Let's ignore them. These people are just a bunch of second-rate people."
They crossed the sidewalk together and went to the opposite platform to wait for the No. 16 bus.
As they were waiting, the bus turned around and came to the road on this side and stopped on their side.
A group of boys leaned against the car window and whistled at them.
"Sergeant, get on the bus. We are also going to Red Leaf Mountain. There are still seats on the bus!" Wang Wei shouted in a vulgar tone.
Lu Xiye also leaned on the window, looking at Jiang Zhizhi, and smiled like a scoundrel, "It's free, I'll treat you, I won't charge you any money."
Lin Qingyu glared at them angrily, "We don't care, just go away!"
"No parking in front of the bus stop." Jiang Zhizhi said.
"That's right! Be careful or I'll take you all to the police station."
The bus driver also knew that he could not stop at the bus stop, so he just stopped for a while as Wang Wei and the others said, and then started driving out again.
Watching the departing bus, Li Rongrong snorted, "Just wait. People like them will go to jail sooner or later, and they'll just be social scum after they graduate."
Yan Xue said with disgust: "I really get annoyed when I see Wang Wei. He is so annoying."
Xu Qingbo, standing by, said nothing as he lowered his head and fiddled with the camera parameters.
He never took Lu Xiye, Wang Wei and others seriously, and was too lazy to talk about them.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the No. 16 bus arrived and they got on together.
The bus was very crowded on weekends, and with the eight of them, the bus was full in an instant.
Jiang Zhizhi was squeezed to the front of the bus door, next to Lin Qingyu and Xu Qingbo.
Lin Qingyu was wearing a blue corseted long dress and her hair was braided into a princess hairstyle. She looked cute and beautiful.
She squeezed in front of Jiang Zhizhi, and Jiang Zhizhi could even smell the faint fragrance on her body.
Xu Qingbo, who was standing by, walked forward. He was quite tall, and very gentlemanly used his body to create a little more space for the two girls.
"Xu Qingbo, let me help you hold the camera. Don't squeeze it." Lin Qingyu said quickly when she saw that Xu Qingbo's camera bag was deformed by the squeeze.
"No need. It's quite heavy for you girls to carry." Xu Qingbo turned the camera bag and smiled at them.
Bus No. 5 goes to the suburbs. There are relatively few people on the bus and there are even empty seats.
The eight of them took turns sitting down to rest, chatting and laughing along the way, and talked about taking the middle school entrance exam after graduation.
It was almost ten o'clock when we arrived at Hongye Mountain.
There is a large square at the foot of the mountain. There are many cars parked in the parking lots on both sides of the square. The red bus that Lu Xiye and his friends were riding in was particularly eye-catching among the cars.
Wang Wei, Lu Xiye and a group of boys had just come out of the supermarket after buying things.
I carried a total of six large shopping bags, which were filled with snacks and drinks.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't even have to think about it to know that it was Lu Xiye who spent the money again.
When he was in junior high school, the boys who surrounded him followed him and flattered him only because of money.
She hated him, but sometimes she felt sorry for him when she thought that all his friends were bought with money.
"Should we buy something to eat on the way?" Lin Qingyu suggested.
It takes at least an hour to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top. If you stop and walk along the way, it will take at least the afternoon to get back.
Everyone agreed and went into the supermarket together.
Li Rongrong and a few others went into the snack area together. Jiang Zhizhi didn't like snacks very much, so she only bought two loaves of bread and a bottle of water.
When it was time to pay the bill, Xu Qingbo happened to come over.
He also took two loaves of bread and a bottle of water, and the bread and water for the two people were even the same.
Xu Qingbo asked: "Why don't you buy some snacks?"
"I don't like eating those."
Xu Qingbo smiled, "Me too, we're the same."
“Bang!”
While the two were talking, Lu Xiye squeezed over and slammed a knife and a lighter on the counter. He asked in a particularly aggressive tone, "How much?"
Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Qingbo were checking out, and he was clearly cutting in line.
"Little brother, there is someone in front of you, go to the back and line up." The cashier said kindly.
Lu Xiye glanced at Xu Qingbo and Jiang Zhizhi behind him and said unhappily, "We are together."
Xu Qingbo didn't want to provoke someone like Lu Xiye, so he exchanged glances with Jiang Zhizhi, then politely said to the cashier, "Let him pay first."
Lu Xiye paid the bill, turned around and glared at Jiang Zhizhi again, then took his things and left.
Jiang Zhizhi thought he was sick.
"Is he sick?" Li Rongrong next to her expressed her thoughts.
After shopping, we all went up the mountain together.
Lu Xiye, Wang Wei and others arrived earlier than them, but they followed them like sticky candy, making a lot of noise and being annoying.
Li Rongrong couldn't help but yell at them, "Are you guys just tail-chasers? Can you please stop following us?"
Wang Wei said arrogantly: "This road is not yours. We are here to climb the mountain too. Who is following you?"
"Forget it, ignore them, let's just have fun." Lin Qingyu comforted Li Rongrong, then turned to Xu Qingbo and said, "Xu Qingbo, let's take a photo together here?"
"good!"
Xu Qingbo asked them to stand in front, took a few steps back, installed the camera and camera stand together, adjusted the position, set the time-lapse shooting, and hurried over to stand with everyone.
“Crack!”
"Wang Wei! What are you doing!"
The moment the photo was taken, Wang Wei and several other boys rushed in, and Lin Qingyu was shocked.
