Precocious?
On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family was reunited, and there was no one else on the street except Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye.
Jiang Zhizhi sat on the curb, her expression calm. "Why did you pull me out?"
She lowered her head and silently rubbed her ankle which had been sprained from the fall.
"I see you're in a bad mood, so I'll take you out for a run and some exercise. I did the same thing when I had an argument with my dad before. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable to keep it in my heart." Lu Xiye mentioned his past with an indifferent look.
Jiang Zhizhi looked up at him in surprise. He actually considered other people's feelings.
Under the streetlight, he looked vaguely shy.
She would never have seen such an expression on Lu Xiye's face before.
Has Lu Xiye changed?
"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Xiye was inexplicably angry when Jiang Zhizhi looked at him.
"Nothing." Jiang Zhizhi's heart suddenly relaxed, and she smiled at him, "Lu Xiye, thank you."
Lu Xiye snorted, "I just can't stand your pretending to be mature. You said before that you've cried all your tears and won't cry anymore, but didn't you cry just now? Jiang Zhizhi, you're really unpleasant like this."
"I didn't cry."
"You're crying."
"I don't."
"Humph, Jiang Zhizhi, I finally see clearly that you are the kind of person who won't even blush when lying."
"I want to go home." Jiang Zhizhi felt that her ankle was not so painful anymore, so she stood up and walked home.
Lu Xiye quickly followed, "Jiang Zhizhi, why were you crying just now? Isn't it because Lin Jing didn't win the balloon fight?"
Jiang Zhizhi ignored him.
"Because of Xu Jiaojiao?"
"Ah? You're not crying just because Xu Jiaojiao is hanging out with those hooligans, are you?"
"Are you crying over such a small thing? Aren't you too sensitive?"
"When I was hanging out with Zhou Qi and the others, did you ever cry for me?"
Jiang Zhizhi sprained her foot and walked slower than usual. Not only did Lu Xiye not notice, he also circled around her like a monkey, chattering non-stop.
"How could I cry for you?" Jiang Zhizhi rolled her eyes at him.
"Is Xu Jiaojiao that important to you? But it seems like you two don't see each other very often..."
"Shut up, you're annoying."

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, Cheng Yuping and Jiang Zhizhi had no relatives here, and there was nothing to do after the New Year, but Jiang Zhizhi still got up at five o'clock in the morning and started doing math problems to prepare for the upcoming math league.
There was a light snow falling outside the window. The heating in the old community was not working well, and the house was chilly.
Cheng Yuping knocked on the door and came in. "Zhizhi, it's too cold in the room. I got you a hot water bottle. Put it on your legs to warm them up."
"Thank you, Mom." Jiang Zhizhi took the hot water bottle and hugged it. The warm water instantly made her whole body warm.
She had never felt such warmth since her mother died in her previous life.
After her rebirth, she has come to this point today, and she is really very content.
Cheng Yuping brought the hot water bottle over, but did not leave immediately like before. Instead, she looked at Jiang Zhizhi's bookcase.
"Zhizhi, have you read all these books?" Cheng Yuping asked curiously.
Since moving here, she bought a bookcase for Jiang Zhizhi at the second-hand market. Now the bookcase is full. She doesn't know many words and can't even recognize the names of many books.
Looking at the full bookcase, Cheng Yuping felt very happy.
At least what she didn't do, her daughter did.
"Mom, do you want to find some books to read?" Jiang Zhizhi saw what Cheng Yuping was thinking and said excitedly.
"Me? I don't understand..." Cheng Yuping retreated a little.
"I'll get you two fairy tale books with pinyin on them. They're very easy to read." Jiang Zhizhi took a copy of "Aesop's Fables" and a copy of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and stuffed them into Cheng Yuping's hands. "Mom, if you can read fluently, it will be much easier for you to open a bookstore in the future. Then you'll have countless books to read."
Cheng Yuping smiled and said, "Zhizhi, I've thought about it and decided to leave the bookstore for later. Wait until you get into college, and then I'll think about my own business."
Although she has hundreds of thousands of dollars in her hands, Jiang Zhizhi's college education in the future will also be a huge expense. If the bookstore loses money, all this money will be wasted.
She didn't want to take any risks.
Jiang Zhizhi understood Cheng Yuping's thoughts. She nodded and said, "Mom, you read the book first. We can talk about other things later."
Cheng Yuping took the book and went out to the living room to read it.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at her back and made up her mind.
In this life, she must help Cheng Yuping fulfill her wish and change her life.

I'm so sleepy.
Lu Xiye woke up in a daze and suddenly found himself in a closed car.
There was a sea of white outside the car window.
I heard the laughter of a strange woman.
"Get married? What about your son?"
“We got married in Jinghai and left him in Nanshi.”
Is it dad?
Lu Xiye woke up with a start. He was in the back seat of the car. His father was driving. Sitting in the passenger seat was a woman wearing a red hat and heavy makeup.
"No!" He rushed towards Lu Hengshan, "I won't let you marry him!"
But for some reason, there seemed to be a barrier between the front seat and the back seat. He was blocked by the barrier, and Lu Hengshan seemed unable to hear his voice.
They were still talking about what would happen after they got married, but everything had nothing to do with Lu Xiye, as if he didn't exist at all.
"I hate you! Why did you do this to me! Go to hell! I'm going to kill you!"
He pounded the barrier like crazy and cried out incessantly.
Gradually, he became weak, as if he didn't even have the strength to punch the barrier, and his whole body felt sore and soft.
His feet suddenly became wet. Water came up from somewhere and swallowed him up little by little.
On the other side of the barrier, Lu Hengshan was still chatting with the woman about traveling to Country M.
He was about to suffocate, and death was about to swallow him...
"Dad, look at me..."
He cried, tears welling up in his eyes, and begged humbly.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
The doorbell suddenly rang and Lu Xiye woke up from his dream.
There were still traces of tears on his face, and one side of his pillow was wet.
“Beep!”
The phone on the bedside table vibrated briefly; someone sent him a text message.
Lu Xiye took the phone and saw it was a message from Jiang Zhizhi.
[Are you up? I'm at your door. I need to talk to you.]
Lu Xiye sat up suddenly.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong again.
Why is the quilt wet?
Could it be...
Lu Xiye lifted the quilt and found that it was wet in a large area.
Suddenly, his face turned red.
He actually wet the bed!
How could that be? He hasn't wet the bed in years!
Is it because I drank too much Coke yesterday?
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The phone rang again, this time it was a call.
Lu Xiye quickly answered the phone, "I...I'm getting up, wait for me."
He jumped out of bed quickly, took off his wet pajamas at the speed of light, and put on a sweater and pants from the closet.
He was about to open the door while kicking off his slippers, but suddenly turned back, rolled up the quilt, sheets and mattress, and stuffed them into the closet.
Destroy the body and cover up all traces.
Now I can't see anything.
No, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't possibly enter his bedroom. Why was he so nervous?
Lu Xiye tried hard to relax himself, closed the bedroom door casually, and then went to open the door for Jiang Zhizhi.
"What, what are you doing?" He was still a little nervous because of what happened just now.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't notice his abnormality and said, "I want to borrow your computer."
"Oh, come in."
"Is Aunt Zhou not here yet?" Jiang Zhizhi asked as she changed her shoes and went in.
Lu Xiye scratched his head uncomfortably and coughed lightly, "I gave her a day off. I'm not as cold-blooded as my dad. I wouldn't let her work during the New Year."
Since Aunt Zhou wasn't coming, he just went to Jiang Zhizhi's house for a free meal.
"Lu Xiye, why are you acting weird?" Jiang Zhizhi felt that something was wrong with him.
"What? What's wrong with me?"
He spoke toughly, but looked guilty.
There's no way it would be noticed, he's already changed into new clothes.
Jiang Zhizhi leaned in close to him and sniffed, "You smell strange."
Lu Xiye's face flushed red. "I don't smell weird at all. Don't you want to use the computer? Go ahead and use it! I just got up and haven't showered yet."
After saying that, he rushed into the bathroom like a flash.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at his back with a suspicious look.
No way? She's only in the first grade and she's already doing that? She hasn't even had her period yet.
Tsk, children from rich families are well-nourished and really mature early.
However, Jiang Zhizhi was too lazy to care about Lu Xiye's little secret. She went straight to Lu Xiye's study, turned on the computer, and started searching for adult education.
Not graduating from elementary school is a lifelong regret for Cheng Yuping. If she has the chance in this life, she hopes to help her mother complete her studies and realize her long-cherished wish.
Although she has no education, as long as Cheng Yuping is willing, she can study primary school, junior high school and high school courses through adult education, and then be admitted to university through the adult college entrance examination.
She is now in the first grade of junior high school and can help her mother with her elementary school courses, and then study together for junior high and high school and take the college entrance examination together.
She looked at the adult education advertisement on the web page and the price was not expensive.
The tuition for elementary school, junior high school and high school is only 1,500 yuan a year, which totals just over 10,000 yuan.
But she knew that Cheng Yuping would definitely not be willing to spend this money.
Although Cheng Yuping now has hundreds of thousands of yuan, she is used to being frugal and is afraid that she will not be able to support her own studies, so she will never easily use this money to buy adult education for herself.
She had to find a way to make money. In addition to tutoring Lu Xiye, she had to have other legitimate ways to make money so that she could convince her mother.
After being reborn, she not only wants to live her life again, but also wants her mother to live her life again.
