Chapter 135, Chapter 1
My heart, which had been pounding with excitement the whole way, calmed down completely because Gu Yin wasn't there.
Chu Yan looked at the boy who had been staring at him and smiled, "Are you Gu Shu?"
Gu Shu had heard her father mention Chu Yan before, and originally thought that he would be the kind of well-behaved child with glasses and a refined appearance. After all, those who get into Jiang High School are all top students!
To Gu Shu's surprise, Chu Yan was not like a top student at all; instead, he seemed more like a spoiled brat from a private school! He was noble, composed, unruly, and exuded an arrogance that was impossible to ignore.
At first, Gu Shu didn't dare to greet him, thinking the other person would be difficult to get along with, and just watched from the side. But now that he saw the other person smiling at him, he seemed to have no more resistance. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Gu Shu, hello!"
Seeing his grandfather chatting with the other adults, Chu Yan walked over to the children's group.
"My name is Chu Yan."
"I know you. Grandma and Dad told me you're a sophomore at Jiang High School! My name is Gu Hua!" Gu Hua admired all top students, especially those who got into Jiang High School. They weren't just top students, they were geniuses!
Chu Yan looked at Gu Hua and nodded with a smile: "I've also heard Grandma Gu mention you. You're taking the entrance exam for the No. 1 High School in the city next year, right?"
Gu Hua was confident in herself. Her family knew that her goal was fine, but she was still a little embarrassed when outsiders found out, feeling as if she were arrogant.
"I'm not sure if I'll pass the exam. I'll see next year, but I'll try my best!"
Chu Yan nodded, then looked at Gu Shu: "Have you finished your first-year high school classes? Or are you already in your second-year classes?"
Gu Shu scratched his head upon hearing this: "We haven't finished yet. It's still the first year of high school. The first year won't be over until next semester, right? Aren't you guys like that?"
Chu Yan had no idea about the teaching process at the No. 1 High School in the city, but the two schools had always been rivals. So when he heard that Gu Shu was still taking first-year high school classes, he was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "Jiang High School finishes the first-year high school classes in the first semester, and then consolidates them during the winter break. In the second semester, they go directly to the second-year high school classes, and continue to consolidate them during the summer break. By the time they reach the third year, it's all about review and practice questions. I thought the No. 1 High School in the city was like that too."
Gu Shu was stunned: "At such a rush, how can you keep up?"
Chu Yan smiled meaningfully: "Taking notes in class, focusing on the key points, and listening attentively is much better than reviewing after class. Other free time is the time to gradually familiarize yourself with the textbook. Anyway, at Jianggao, you have to plan your time for everything. If you listen in class and play after class, you will soon feel pressured, unable to keep up, and so on, which will make you feel frustrated and give up on yourself."
Gu Shu was completely stunned. Was the pace that fast? Was he sure the students at Jiang Gao weren't gods?
Seeing Gu Shu dazed by the blow, Chu Yan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, just follow your school's steps. But I think the students in the advanced class should finish the course ahead of time. You can give it a try. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, or I can give you some of Jiang Gao's test papers later."
Gu Shu was originally very satisfied with his progress in learning several courses ahead of schedule, but after hearing what Chu Yan said, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and felt that if he didn't speed up, he would be doomed.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll add your phone number and QQ number. If I don't understand anything later, I can just ask you!" After entering high school, he applied for a QQ number, as it was more convenient for classmates to contact each other that way!
After saying that, Gu Shu took out his phone.
After adding Gu Shu's QQ account, Chu Yan looked at Gu Hua and said, "Do you want to add me? You can ask me anything you don't understand."
Gu Hua shook her head: "I don't use a cell phone now. I'll use one when I'm in high school. I don't have a QQ number."
Chu Yan nodded upon hearing this, then casually looked at Gu Shu: "What about Gu Yin's QQ number? I'll add her too. If she gets into Jiang High School, I can help her with anything."
Gu Shu waved his hand helplessly and said, "Ayin doesn't have one either. Her family requires that she not play with her phone in junior high school. Even in high school, she only uses her phone for daily communication."
"Oh, I see." Chu Yan smiled and put away his phone. "That's good. We can't let it affect our studies."
After they finished talking, they saw the adults heading into the market, so Chu Yan and the others followed.
The No. 2 Middle School teachers' dormitory building.
After studying all morning, Feng Jiangyue was hungry. She put away the test papers and looked at Gu Yin: "Let's eat first, then rest for a bit before studying again this afternoon. Shall we eat here with the teacher today?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'll go to the market later and eat at a restaurant. By the way, this contains some cured pork and duck that my family makes. The pigs and ducks are all raised by us. You can make some for yourself when you cook later. They taste pretty good."
Gu Yin picked up the bamboo basket that had been placed aside and put it in front of Feng Jiangyue.
Feng Jiangyue had initially thought the basket contained miscellaneous items, but it turned out to be filled with cured meat.
She removed the lid and saw three pieces of cured pork, a cured duck, two cured fish, and five strings of cured sausages inside.
As soon as the lid was lifted, a rich and unique aroma of cured meat wafted out.
"It smells so good! It must taste even better! Don't go out, stay and eat with me. Let's make sausages and cured meat! I still have a lot of rice left, and I don't want to take it back tomorrow, it's too much trouble!"
Gu Yin had no choice but to agree.
Feng Jiangyue went to the kitchen and searched around, but there were no vegetables or anything like that left.
"I also have some chili peppers and garlic sprouts. I can make a stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers. If I'm going to cook sausage, I can just put it in the rice and cook it together. The rice will be fragrant and sweet! Have you ever tried this? My dad taught me how to make it. It's convenient and saves time and effort."
“We often steam sausages like this.” Especially in the past life, when they came home from school in the evening for dinner, their uncle would sometimes be doing carpentry and wouldn’t have time to come back to cook. Gu Yin, Gu Shu, and Gu Hua would just put the sausages into the rice and cook them together, and then they would go take a shower and wash their hair, which saved time.
Gu Yin collected the test papers from the table and went to the kitchen to help.
