Chapter 19 Xin Tianyi, Go to School
"Xin Tianyi, go to school!"
Yuan Dabao pinched his nose and shouted again, and Xin Tianyi couldn't help but shout back, "Here it comes, here it comes!"
Xin Tianyi, carrying his schoolbag, rushed out through the chirping of cicadas overhead.
The moment she rushed out, she heard Yuan Dabao calling Wei Ran in a changing tone again.
Under the back window of Wei Ran's house, Zhang Yang was wearing a white basketball vest, with sweat dripping down his hair. He stood there, desperately fanning himself with the book in his hand.
As soon as Xin Tianyi came out, he asked, "Zhang Yang, why aren't you wearing your school uniform?"
Hearing the sound, Yuan Dabao and Zhang Yang both looked at Xin Tianyi, and then Yuan Dabao covered his stomach and laughed wildly.
Xin Tianyi felt uneasy at his laughter and could only complain in dissatisfaction: "What are you laughing at?"
"Oh my god!" Yuan Dabao pointed at Xin Tianyi's hair. "When did you cut your hair?"
"Last night," Xin Tianyi said, "it was so hot. I couldn't stand it."
After she finished speaking, she touched her newly cut stubble, raised an eyebrow and asked, "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
"Go away!" Yuan Dabao frowned. "That's really ugly! You said you had a nice braid and you cut your hair so short. I think you really want to be brothers with us!"
"How about that, you and I become sisters?" Xin Tianyi asked with a smile.
"Come on," Yuan Dabao said, grabbing Xin Tianyi's shoulders and moving her around. "Wow, your ears are showing at both temples. Let me see what's behind you."
Yuan Dabao asked Xin Tianyi to turn around, and then he saw the hair on the back of her head.
"You're still using a shaver? You shaved the back of your hair even cleaner than mine!" Yuan Dabao laughed, "We really can't not be brothers this time."
Xin Tianyi knew that Yuan Dabao had never said anything good, so he took a step forward and stood directly in front of Zhang Yang.
"Look at my new hairstyle, what do you think?"
Zhang Yang had just finished playing basketball and was drenched in sweat. His sweat was still dripping down, and the book in his hand was whirring non-stop.
He was watching the two people in front of him bickering with a smile, but he didn't expect Xin Tianyi to rush in front of him in one step.
As soon as his hand stopped, a few drops of sweat began to drip onto the sun-dried ground and disappeared in an instant.
Fortunately...
Fortunately, there are cicadas in the trees.
Fortunately, he had just finished playing basketball and his whole body was red.
"Tell me, what's up!" Xin Tianyi looked at Zhang Yang, and seeing he didn't say anything, he bit his lip. "Okay, I get it, it's embarrassing! You want to swear brotherhood with me! Fine, fine! Come on, the three of us will become sworn brothers right now."
"What's so ugly?"
Wei Ran came around from the front and asked as soon as he turned into the alley.
Then I saw Xin Tianyi's new hairstyle.
Wei Ran immediately stopped, staring at Xin Tianyi without blinking, then walked behind Xin Tianyi to take a look at his hairstyle. Finally, he said to Xin Tianyi very seriously, "It's not bad, it suits you very well."
"Fuck you, Wei Ran, you're blind!" Yuan Dabao immediately wanted to curse. He put his arm around Wei Ran's shoulders and strode towards the school. "She's got her hair cut like that, and you still say it doesn't look ugly?"
"It's really not bad." Wei Ran's glasses were almost knocked off by Yuan Dabao, so he quickly pushed them straight and said, "My second sister has been saying she wants to cut her hair, but she never had the courage. Tianyi, come home with me after school and let my second sister see it. She has always wanted to cut her hair short like this."
"Okay!" Xin Tianyi followed behind, looking very proud. "As soon as school is over today, I'll go to your house to find my second sister. You don't know, after cutting my hair, I feel like I'm floating even when I walk. So relaxed, so comfortable! You three with flat heads are so comfortable, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The two guys with short flat heads in front covered the other's mouth to stop him from praising Xin Tianyi's new hairstyle.
The guy with the short flat head behind her looked away and fanned himself vigorously, as if he didn't want to look at her anymore.
Xin Tianyi touched his short hair helplessly and doubted this hairstyle for the first time. Is it really that ugly?
Unfortunately, she didn't see it. The moment she turned around, the guy with the flat head behind her stopped looking at her new hairstyle.
Smiled helplessly.
…
Ever since Xin Tianyi had her hair cut, Wang Fang didn't say a word to her for three whole days.
Xin Tianyi knew what her mother was planning.
Before the high school entrance examination in the previous life, Wang Fang persuaded Xin Tianyi not to continue studying. Wouldn’t it be nice to do business with her?
Wang Fang, envious of her friends' success in business, always took a break from her cotton mill job and looked for work at the wholesale market. She was considering opening a shoe store, then a women's clothing store, and having Xin Tianyi help run it. Wouldn't it be better for mother and daughter to work together than to go to school?
So if I cut my hair, it would be difficult for me to wear clothes and model in my own store.
In this life, Xin Tianyi cut his hair short in winter, and Wang Fang had not yet officially invested in her business. She just had a small idea, but even so, she ignored Xin Tianyi for three days.
Xie Mei cleared the dishes and saw Xin Tianyi carrying his schoolbag to go to school. She whispered to Xin Tianyi, "Your mother hasn't spoken to you yet?"
Xin Tianyi nodded: "Well, ignore me."
Xie Mei smiled, and after taking one look at Xin Tianyi's short hair, she felt it was a pity: "Why don't you just get a student haircut? It's shoulder-length, and that's still short. You cut it without hesitation, and cut it so short. The hair at the back of your head isn't even as long as your cousin's."
Xin Tianyi smiled and said to Xie Mei, "Then grandma, I'm going to school."
"Put on your hat and scarf," Xie Mei called out to her quickly. "Your hair is so short, your ears will get cold."
Wang Fang came out of the bedroom only after Xin Tianyi left the house.
When she saw Xie Mei, she looked away and pretended not to see her.
Xie Mei looked at her for a long time without saying anything. When she saw Wang Fang finished washing up and coming to eat, Xie Mei said, "There's no food."
"No food?" Wang Fang asked in surprise, "What did Tianyi eat before going to school?"
"Are you still worried about what your daughter ate?" Xie Mei said angrily, "It's just a hair. How many days have you not spoken to her?"
Wang Fang curled her lips. "I warned her seriously not to cut her hair. But she was stubborn. As soon as I finished speaking, she immediately picked up the scissors and started cutting it."
"She's already in the third year of junior high school," Xie Mei said. "She's a grown-up girl. Let her cut her hair however she wants. I think it's good this way. Look at her boyish haircut. It's obvious she's not into a premature love relationship. Have you ever seen a girl who's into a premature love relationship cut her hair this short?"
"Puppy love?" Wang Fang said disapprovingly, "You're only a few years old and you're already in a relationship."
"He's already in the third year of junior high school. He's not a kid anymore." Xie Mei pointed at Wang Gang and their bedroom and whispered to Wang Fang, "If Mingjie hadn't been caught by his parents because of his premature love affair and made such a big fuss, would he be the person he is now?"
Wang Fang rolled her eyes a few times, thought about it, and realized that it was indeed the case.
The third-year students are neither too young nor too old. However, there are also students who have repeated a grade or started school late. Although no one has publicly stated their love, some children have already started to have secret thoughts.
Wang Mingjie had been in a relationship since his junior year, and his teachers and parents found out. Since he was a boy, the girl's parents scolded him without making any apology. Naturally, they couldn't continue dating, and Wang Mingjie became quiet from then on.
This incident caused a big stir at the time, and the girl's parents even came to their home.
Wang Fang was called back to share the artillery fire at that time. Thinking about it now, she still feels scared.
"Then I'll have to talk to Tianyi later." Wang Fang muttered to herself: "It's okay to date, but definitely not now. Women, you should wait until you've grown up before looking for a man. Otherwise, you'll end up meeting the wrong person."
Xie Mei heard this and looked at Wang Fang intently: "Then have you grown up enough?"
…
Xie Mei provoked Wang Fang with a few words, and Wang Fang left without eating breakfast.
Xie Mei was tidying up in the kitchen when she heard rustling sounds in the inner room and hurried out to see what was going on.
Wang Yuxiu went out for a walk after dinner, so there should be no one at home.
When she walked into the living room, she saw Liu Meilan coming out of the bedroom. Xie Mei thought she had gone to work, so she quickly checked the time and asked, "You didn't go to work?"
"Oh." Liu Meilan smiled and then fell silent. But she kept looking at Xie Mei and showed no intention of leaving.
Xie Mei could only ask again: "What's the matter?"
Liu Meilan then said, "Mom, isn't the New Year coming soon?"
Xie Mei hummed, "I wrote down all the New Year's goods that need to be prepared yesterday and gave it to Wang Gang. Just like before, you can just follow my instructions and prepare them."
Liu Meilan then said, "I saw it. Mom, there are a lot of New Year's goods this year. It feels like there are almost twice as many as last year."
Xie Mei glanced at her and said calmly, "There are many people this year."
"I know." Liu Meilan said immediately, "Mom, what I mean is, this year during the Spring Festival, my eldest sister should also pay some money."
"What do you mean?" Xie Mei asked, "Even though you guys are the ones who prepare the New Year's goods, don't I give you all the money I spend every year?"
"I know." Liu Meilan immediately defended herself. "But your money, after all, belongs to Wang Gang and Mingjie. It's just for daily meals, and you didn't ask my eldest sister to pay for living expenses. But Chinese New Year is a big deal, so we have to buy a big piece of pork. And there's also candy and melon seeds and things like that. Oh, and new clothes for the two children, all of which cost money. Mom, this is what I'm thinking. Why don't you tell my eldest sister and ask her to share some of the burden?"
Xie Mei rolled her eyes at Liu Meilan and said perfunctorily, "Let's talk about it later."
"mom!"
"Okay, let's go to work." Xie Mei didn't want to argue any further, so she turned back to the kitchen and closed the door again.
Liu Meilan waited for so long, and finally waited for Wang Fang to leave, then she came out and said this to Xie Mei.
Although Wang Gang was responsible for preparing the New Year's goods each year, Xie Mei always gave the money to the two of them. It was a reimbursement policy, and even if they asked for a little more, Xie Mei never failed to tell them off. She would give them whatever they asked for.
This year, Wang Fang and Xin Tianyi were the only two of them to be there for the Lunar New Year. Xie Mei didn't want them to overthink things during the holiday, so she decided to stock up on more items than she'd been shopping for the entire year. Wang Fang calculated the cost, and it was a lot of money. She felt bad.
If the money was only spent on their family, she wouldn't feel so bad, but when she thought about Wang Fang and Xin Tianyi, Liu Meilan's heart bleeds.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that through this incident, she would let her elder sister develop the habit of paying living expenses home.
Liu Meilan did all this, so of course she had to tell Wang Gang. Wang Gang listened, thought for a second, and then told Liu Meilan to tell Xie Mei, while he pretended not to know.
But no matter how hard they tried to persuade her, Xie Mei disagreed.
Liu Meilan angrily wrapped her scarf around her neck and stormed out the door. She was thinking, since Xie Mei wasn't going to work, she was going to go straight to Wang Fang. Living at home and paying for her meals wasn't too much, was it? At worst, we could just have a fight.
Besides Liu Meilan, there was another person who was holding back his anger and quarreling, and that was Yuan Dabao.
He had been holding it in since morning until the third class and he couldn't bear it any longer.
When he came to school in the morning, he and Zhang Yang went to call Wei Ran as usual. They shouted twice at Wei Ran's door, and Wei Ran came out.
Just as the three were about to leave, Xin Tianyi appeared out of nowhere.
"Classmate!" Xin Tianyi called Yuan Dabao first, and then greeted Wei Ran and Zhang Yang.
Yuan Dabao occasionally spoke to Xin Tianyi these days, but not often. After class, he would go to Zhao Zhangyang and Wei Ran. Even during class, they couldn't talk, so the communication between the two was almost zero.
The four of them lived close to each other and had fixed school hours, so it was inevitable that they would meet, but Yuan Dabao still felt awkward. When he heard Xin Tianyi greeting him, he raised his hand slightly, which was considered a polite and good boy.
Wei Ran happened to be walking behind, and seeing Xin Tianyi alone, he smiled at her and said, "Let's go together."
As soon as Wei Ran finished speaking, Yuan Dabao turned around and stared at him, looking at Wei Ran in disbelief.
Wei Ran ignored him and asked Xin Tianyi, "I often see you go to school at this time."
"I can never wake up in the morning." Xin Tianyi told the truth.
"My eldest sister has been assigned to Workshop 3, in the same workshop as your mother." Wei Ran said, "The workshop director asked your mother to take care of her."
"Really?" Xin Tianyi smiled, "That's quite a coincidence."
"Yes," Wei Ran said, "My eldest sister said your mother was very good to her. She taught her everything, unlike her previous master who never taught her well. My sister has been working in the factory for quite some time, but she doesn't know anything yet. She did very poorly in the skills competition a few days ago, so she went to see the factory director."
"Is there such a thing?" Xin Tianyi asked, "So you changed her workshop?"
"Yes." Wei Ran said, "When we talked about this last night, I found out that you are her master's daughter. My eldest sister even asked me to take good care of you, since you just transferred here not long ago."
"Thank you." Xin Tianyi said, "Thank you too, big sister."
As soon as Xin Tianyi finished speaking, Wei Ran sneezed several times.
Wei Ran sneezed, his face flushed. He held his eyes and smiled, "Didn't I sweep snow a few days ago? I sweated and caught a cold, but I'm almost healed."
"I think you can't just study, you also need to exercise. After all, the body is the capital for struggle." Xin Tianyi looked at Wei Ran and thought of the misfortune in his previous life. He could only persuade him slowly.
"Yes." Wei Ran nodded in agreement.
Yuan Dabao and Zhang Yang were walking in front. They couldn't say a word before they pricked up their ears to listen to what the two people behind them were talking about.
He turned to look at Wei Ran more than once, signaling Wei Ran to come over quickly, but Wei Ran ignored him every time and still insisted on walking with Xin Tianyi.
Yuan Dabao was filled with anger until the third physical education class.
The physical education teacher just came into the classroom and asked everyone to go out for physical education class. Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao were already standing in the back, eager to go out. Before they left the classroom, the head teacher Liu Yuan came in.
Teacher Liu smiled at everyone and said, "Let's all go to physical education class. Studying should also be a combination of work and rest."
As soon as Teacher Liu finished speaking, Zhang Yang called out, "Wei Ran, let's go play ball."
Wei Ran stood up immediately, but before he left his desk, he heard Teacher Liu say to him, "Wei Ran, don't go. The final exam is coming up soon. Oh, and there are some mistakes on the last exam. Let me go over it again for you."
The semester was drawing to a close, and the final exams would compare the scores of all graduating classes and create a school-wide ranking. Liu Yuan also wanted Wei Ran to maintain his top ranking, so she couldn't slack off at all.
What's the point of physical education class? It would be more practical to do more tests.
Wei Ran originally wanted to go out and play basketball, but when he heard what Teacher Liu said, he lowered his head slightly.
The physical education class I had been looking forward to for the whole morning just disappeared like that.
The physical education teacher leaned against the door and looked at Wei Ran with a helpless expression, then urged the other students: "Hurry up, come out and line up."
Wei Ran turned around and watched the other students leave, holding the pen tightly in his hand.
Liu Yuan didn't seem to notice Wei Ran's strangeness, thinking that Wei Ran had taken her words to heart. She smiled and told the other students to hurry up, while nodding to Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao who were standing behind her.
"Why don't you two leave?"
Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao looked at each other, then looked at Wei Ran.
Wei Ran didn't sit down either, still standing in front of his desk.
He was like an abandoned child. Everyone rushed into the sunshine with great joy, but he was the only one left alone in this cold classroom.
"Puff, puff!"
When Yuan Dabao heard some movement at the back door of the classroom, he immediately turned around to look.
Xin Tianyi was standing at the back door, waving at him.
Yuan Dabao paused for a moment, pointed at himself in surprise, and asked silently, "Looking for me?"
Xin Tianyi nodded, his expression serious, "Come here quickly."
Yuan Dabao turned his head back silently, trying to pretend that he had not seen or heard anything.
"I'm calling you." Zhang Yang said while holding a basketball.
"No, they're not calling me." Yuan Dabao murmured.
"Are you going or not?" Zhang Yang threatened, "Hurry up and finish your words. Don't let her show up in front of me."
Yuan Dabao sighed and could only reluctantly walk over and look at Xin Tianyi, "What's the matter?"
"Let me tell you..."
Xin Tianyi ignored Yuan Dabao's attempt to dodge and forced him to start talking.
After hearing this, Yuan Dabao was stunned for a long time before asking, "Is this okay?"
"Sure! I'll definitely do it."
"Then..." Yuan Dabao thought for a moment, "Even if I'm willing to cooperate with you, Zhang Yang..."
Yuan Dabao gave Xin Tianyi an expression that said, "You need to know how much Zhang Yang hates you," and then let Xin Tianyi experience it for himself.
Xin Tianyi knew that Zhang Yang was not a person who held grudges, he was just a little weird, an unparalleled little weirdo.
"It's okay, I'll talk to him." Xin Tianyi said.
"you say?"
Yuan Dabao was about to stop it when he heard Xin Tianyi beside him waving to Zhang Yang in the classroom.
"Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang!"
