Chapter 98 Extra If Mom Comes Back Early 1
16-year-old Xue Mi was lying on the desk, drowsy.
The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled in the classroom. The slight noises and voices were a bit noisy, but for the girl who was feeling sleepy in autumn, it became an excellent hypnotic music.
She was half asleep when a boy in the front row slapped her on the desk, which scared Xue Mi so much that all the sleepiness was scared away.
The boy was still smiling at her playfully, asking her if she had finished her English homework and if he could borrow it to copy.
Xue Mi rolled her eyes at the guy: "You ask me? I want to borrow your copy."
Human power is limited. For Xue Mi, the biggest difficulty is the bird language.
She has good grades, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into the key high school in the city.
After entering high school, the difficulty of each subject increased sharply. However, for Xue Mi, mathematics and physics, which make most people's brains numb, are not so bad. The most terrifying subject is English.
Key high schools implement all-English teaching. The beautiful English teacher repeatedly emphasizes that one should not memorize things by rote, but should read more contemporary articles and internalize words and grammar into one's own language. Only in this way can one cope with the college entrance examination well.
This was a fatal blow to Xue Mi, who had been accustomed to memorizing and getting grades since childhood, and it almost knocked her to the ground.
"If your English is not good, why don't you ask your family to hire a tutor for you? Song Yu's family hired a college student to give him one-on-one lessons every day. I heard the effect is quite good. His score in this monthly exam increased by about 10 points." Xue Mi's desk mate suggested.
Xue Mi twitched her lips helplessly.
She had no home and couldn't find anyone who would help pay for a tutor.
If she told her eldest aunt about this, she might be willing to pay, but she herself doesn't have the nerve to do so.
Although strictly speaking, her father is still alive, Xue Mi has never felt that that man has anything to do with her - she has already decided that after she comes of age, she will never have anything to do with that guy again. Even if he sues her in court, she can only pay the old man the minimum monthly alimony.
Xue Mi didn't feel guilty about this at all, because when she was a child, this old man was reluctant to give her living expenses. She was still willing to abide by the law, which was the greatest courtesy.
As for her biological mother, Xue Mi had no impression of her at all.
I heard from the older generation that her mother went abroad when she was very young and there has been no news of her since then. She doesn’t know whether her mother is dead or alive.
This may also be one of the reasons why she hates English - her mother was taken away by a foreigner who spoke English - this was the only impression Xue Mi had of her mother when she was a child.
Xue Mi knew from a young age that her father was as good as dead, and she didn't know whether her mother was dead or not. Although her aunt's family was good to her, they also had their own family, and she felt embarrassed to always trouble them.
If you want to have a bright future, you can only rely on yourself.
Xue Mi sighed deeply at the exercise book full of bird sounds, and decided to continue to use her good memory and firmly follow the route of rote memorization without wavering, at least to get the points she could get first.
The fact is that orphans have no right to be willful. Even if they don’t like a course, they can only grit their teeth and swallow it with nausea. Otherwise, if their grades are really dragged down because of this course, they will be the ones crying.
The 16-year-old girl buried her head in her books again, determined to fight this disgusting thing to the end. Either the fish dies or the net breaks.
Students can either attend high school as a day student or as a boarding student. Xue Mi of course chose to attend high school as a boarding student. She has been boarding at school since junior high school, and only during holidays and other major vacations would she stay at her aunt's house for a while.
Apart from the trouble of having to find someone to live with her, all the tuition fees for these years were paid by her eldest aunt's family. Although her uncle didn't say anything and her cousins were very friendly to her, Xue Mi still felt uneasy.
She carefully wrote down all the money in a notebook, determined to return it to her aunt with interest when she made money in the future.
Unfortunately, she is only in the first year of high school and has a long way to go before she grows up and earns a salary. When she thinks about having to trouble her aunt's family in the future, she can't help but sigh in frustration.
It's really hard to grow up quickly.
In the afternoon, the head teacher informed us that it was time to pay the materials fee for next month, and asked everyone to remember to tell their parents this weekend and bring the materials over next Monday.
Xue Mi repeatedly calculated the money on her meal card and in her wallet.
I can still afford the teaching materials, but I guess it won’t be enough for the food expenses for the second half of the month.
Talk to your aunt again? Xue Mi thought about it and was the first to reject this option.
My aunt's family is not well off now. My cousin is studying for a master's degree, and Xiaotao is about to enter the third year of junior high school. Money is needed everywhere in the family. Although my aunt didn't say anything when it came to taking out living expenses, Xue Mi could see that this family has always been short of money.
If she weren't there, her aunt's family would have lived a much better life - Xue Mi often couldn't help thinking so.
She had mentioned before that she wanted to work, but her aunt rejected her idea, saying that she would have no control over her when she went to college, but that money must not affect her studies in high school.
"My aunt and uncle can still support you guys, so there's no need to worry." My aunt said, patting her chest. But when she turned around, Xue Mi heard that my aunt had gone to borrow money from relatives.
She felt even more guilty, and from then on, she was even more reluctant to spend money.
Xue Mi carefully counted on his fingers for a long time and felt that if he ate a little more frugally, replaced the original side dishes with the free soup in the cafeteria, and ordered less meat dishes, the money could still be saved.
Anyway, I have a small appetite, so it’s okay to eat less.
Xue Mi made a decision quickly. Although she might have to go hungry this month, her mood instantly became much better because she didn't need to trouble her aunt anymore. Moreover, the free soup in the cafeteria today was her favorite kelp and pork ribs soup - although there were only a few pieces of kelp and only a few pieces of bone fragments, and there was basically no meat smell, Xue Mi was still very happy. She felt that this was a good sign and that the next month would definitely go smoothly for her and she would not need to trouble others unnecessarily.
But unexpectedly, when she returned to the dormitory, she saw the debris on the ground again.
Living on campus here, everyone uses thermos bottles for drinking water and washing. Thermos bottles of various colors and styles are neatly placed at the door of the dormitory, and each one has the person's name written on it, so it's not easy to make a mistake.
But now, the thermos bottles that were originally neatly arranged have fallen over and broken into pieces, the boiling water has spilled all over the floor, and there are many tiny pieces of glass scattered messily at the door of the dormitory.
Xue Mi was stunned and asked what was going on.
A roommate who was cleaning looked depressed: "Don't mention it. Just now, two fighting wild cats suddenly rushed in. They rolled around while fighting and ended up knocking over all the thermoses. These two bastards have strong legs. Most of the thermoses in our dormitory were broken. I saw that yours was not spared either. It seems that even the shell is broken. You need to buy a new one."
Poor female high school student: …
When it rains, it pours. This is probably what the current situation is like.
