In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
I planted the fruit cores again, this time outside the fence. When I went to get the bucket to water the plants, I found some water in the well, about one-fifth of the depth.
How did this well suddenly have water? Could it be related to the upgrade in the space just now? If so, could this space be upgraded to at least four levels?
Pick all the fruits from the trees. When the fruits on these trees are ripe, they will not rot if they are not picked. After being picked, the trees will bloom and bear fruit again.
There were several small hills of fruit piled up on the ground. In 1985, the welfare benefits of some government agencies were still good, so you could go there to sell your products.
In fact, as long as there is something, there is no need to worry about selling it. Nowadays, supplies are still scarce, and everything food is easy to sell.
You also need to buy some wicker baskets to store fruits and vegetables. Due to the time difference in space, the vegetables will mature in a few days.
Gradually, I will be able to save enough money to buy a house in the county town. I will go to the county town to attend junior high school and will not live with my grandmother. I must have my own place to live, and I can also save my third brother from suffering.
As I thought about it, I felt that I was very busy and didn’t have enough time. Many things still required the use of space difference and the rational use of time.
It was already past ten o'clock when Zhou Xiang came out of the space. He started cooking and boiled an egg for himself. His health had always been weak and he would be diagnosed with anemia next spring. Well, he also needed to buy a few chicks and raise them in the space. He could eat the eggs or kill the chicken and eat the chicken.
When Zhou's mother came back and saw the lunch Zhou Xiang had made, she didn't complain. She said that her daughter did a lot of things at home, and her health was poor and needed to be replenished.
After lunch, Zhou wanted to enter the space and read his elementary school textbooks from first grade to fourth grade, and then read all the elementary school textbooks for later generations that he had compiled.
I went to the elementary school at four o'clock in the afternoon. When the principal heard that Zhou Xiang had something to do at home and planned to study at home and guarantee to be among the top students in the grade, he looked at her with suspicion.
Seeing the principal was unmoved, Zhou Xiang said, "Give me some fourth- or fifth-grade exams. If I score above 90, you'll allow me to study at home. From now on, I'll just come to school for the midterm and final exams each semester. If I don't, I'll honestly come to class tomorrow."
Seeing that the young girl could speak clearly and coherently, the principal nodded in agreement, thinking it would only take up a little of his time.
The principal deliberately selected the exam paper for the second semester of the fifth grade. This exam paper was from last year and stumped many top students in the fifth grade.
Zhou Xiang took the test paper and did the math first. It took him half an hour to finish it without even using any scratch paper. The principal took the test paper to mark it, and Zhou Xiang then did the Chinese test paper.
Because the composition took some time, it took him 45 minutes to finish the Chinese test. The principal was not calm after grading the math test, but he still remained calm and did not disturb Zhou Xiang who was taking the Chinese test.
The principal stayed by Zhou Xiang's side the entire time. When he saw Zhou Xiang put down his pen, he quickly took the test paper to correct it. After reading the composition, the principal finally couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "Excellent! Full marks! There's not even a point deducted for the punctuation marks. Double 100!"
Zhou Xiang was very calm. He was already in his sixties. With the experience of his previous life, the cram schooling in the space, and the brain teasers in the elementary school textbooks of the future life in the space, if he couldn't get full marks on the current easy questions, what would he use to negotiate with the principal, and what would he use to strengthen his determination to take the scientific and technological path in the future.
After the principal calmed down, Zhou Xiang said, "Principal, can you agree to my previous conditions?"
The principal was shocked. Although he really wanted her to attend classes every day, which would also help stimulate the top students, if he didn't agree, what if she dropped out of school because of family problems? Or what if she transferred to another school?
The principal finally agreed reluctantly, "If you fall out of the top three in your grade even once, you must come back to school immediately!"
Zhou Xiang nodded.
The principal added, "There are still four weeks until the final exams. Don't forget to come back and take them."
Zhou Xiang nodded again and left the principal's office. He was about to go to the classroom to get something from under his desk, but suddenly he realized that he had forgotten where his class was.
While she was hesitating, a round-faced girl with two ponytails ran towards her and asked, "Zhou Xiang, Zhou Xiang, why haven't you been to class for a few days?"
Zhou Xiang frowned and tried hard to think about who this was.
Seeing Zhou Xiang ignoring her and looking at her with a strange expression, Zhong Ling asked, "What's wrong with you? I heard you had a fever, and I was planning to go see you tomorrow, Sunday! Your mother said you'd be better and would come to school this afternoon, so I've been keeping an eye on the school gate. Why did you go to the principal's office?"
After hearing this long conversation, Zhou Xiang finally guessed who she was. Her name was Zhong Ling, the daughter of a colleague at his mother's workplace. He always played with her every time he went to his mother's workplace. This year, they were assigned to the same class and became even closer, like one person.
In fact, how can the friendship of little girls really be as good as that of a person? They often quarrel today and make up tomorrow. Sometimes they offend, get angry, and ignore each other without knowing why.
In my previous life, I had just gotten married and was living a rather depressed life, but she came to me to show off her happiness!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiang said calmly: "I'm fine now, no need to go see. I'm going to the classroom now to get the things under my desk."
"Aren't you going to class?" Zhong Ling asked.
"Yeah." Zhou Xiang said indifferently. Most of the little girl's topics were meaningless. Zhou Xiang didn't want to talk to her in detail, but he couldn't help but accompany her. He was still waiting for her to take him to the classroom!
"Oh, then let's go together." Zhong Ling's voice was light and seemed to contain a cheerful mood. Zhou Xiang looked at her strangely.
Zhong Ling put her arm around Zhou Xiang and said again, feeling a little guilty: "Let's go together."
Zhou Xiang could sense the guilt in the tone and tried hard to recall some information about this person in his mind.
Finally, she found a clue deep in her mind. There were only her and her brother in her family. Although her parents favored boys over girls, they were not too harsh on her. She usually just washed dishes and swept the floor, unlike Zhou Xiang who had to do so many things at home every day.
But her neighbor's daughter never did housework, so her envy and jealousy turned into showing off after she met Zhou Xiang. She often told Zhou Xiang that her mother didn't ask her to do housework, but she wanted to help her mother reduce the burden and rushed to wash dishes and sweep the floor.
This was said by Zhou Xiang when she was seen sweeping the floor after she said she never did housework.
