After those girls left, Jiang Jiang's hands were shaking as he held the straps of his schoolbag.
If she hadn't lied just now, and if those girls had found out that she was lying, she would definitely be in trouble.
When Jiang Jiang returned home, his father and mother had already returned.
Seeing Jiang Jiangcai coming back, Jiang's mother, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, asked, "Why did you come back just now?"
"My classmates stopped me and asked me questions." Jiang Jiang answered while changing his shoes.
Jiang's mother nodded when she heard this, then turned off the TV and prepared to go back to bed.
Jiang Jiang suddenly spoke up again, "Mom, can you pick me up after school? It's too dark, and I'm a little scared to be alone."
Jiang's mother was a little surprised. The way home from the store was even darker. Jiang Jiang had walked alone since he was a child and had never said anything.
But Jiang's mother did not refuse, "Okay, I'll pick you up later."
Grandpa Jiang goes to bed early, so Grandma Jiang definitely won’t go, as she is the only one who has time.
The next night, as Jiang Jiang walked out of the school gate, she saw Jiang's mother waiting for her at the door.
Seeing Jiang Jiang coming out, Jiang's mother waved at her.
Jiang Jiang hurried over with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"I see that other people's parents have come to pick them up." said Jiang's mother.
"Well, there are no lights on this road, and it's a bit dark at night, so a parent came to pick us up."
Jiang's mother felt a little guilty. All parents worry about their children walking at night, but her family has never considered this issue. Now Jiang Jiang is about to take the high school entrance examination, and she has only come to pick him up once.
"But our house is nearby, we can get there in just two steps." Jiang Jiang saw that Jiang's mother looked unhappy, so he said quickly.
"I didn't expect that. I just saw Li Xiaoxuan's mother come too. We didn't pay much attention to your studies before." Jiang's mother sighed.
Jiang Jiang said nothing because what Jiang's mother said was the truth.
The two of them were silent for a moment before Jiang's mother spoke again, "How have your studies been these past two days? I've almost handed over all the store chores, so I can focus on taking care of you and your brother."
"Not bad, my grades in all subjects have improved." To be frank, she no longer has any shortcomings. As long as she performs well in the high school entrance examination, it will not be a problem for her to get into a good high school.
"That's good." Mother Jiang nodded with a smile.
The mother and daughter chatted all the way. This was the first time they had such a chat in the past few years.
When returning home, Jiang Jiang had a smile on his face.
Grandma Jiang was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she saw the two of them come home, she muttered something under her breath. Jiang Jiang could vaguely hear it. She was probably saying that she was spoiled.
"Go take a shower quickly, and then go to bed early." Mother Jiang should have heard what Grandma Jiang said, but she pretended not to hear it.
Jiang Jiang nodded, went to his room to put down his schoolbag, and obediently went to the bathroom.
Mother and daughter have the same tacit understanding towards Grandma Jiang.
The next morning after the break, Jiang Jiang heard someone say that Li Xiaoxuan had been locked in the toilet and had a basin of water splashed on her. She was now in the political education department.
As soon as the bell for the third class rang, the head teacher hurried into the classroom with an extremely serious expression.
"The high school entrance exam is just a few days away. I never thought someone would do such a thing. Li Xiaoxuan was locked in the toilet and splashed with water. I don't care if this has anything to do with our classmates. I warn everyone that the high school entrance exam is coming soon and no one is allowed to do anything out of line. In addition, anyone who knows related news can come to me to report it."
"The high school entrance exam is coming up soon. If you make such a fuss, I tell you, I will not tolerate it, and the Political and Educational Department will not tolerate it either!"
Seeing that the Chinese teacher was waiting outside, the head teacher left without saying a word.
But the students in the class were shocked by her.
"Who dislikes Li Xiaoxuan? What did she do?"
"I don't know. Isn't Li Xiaoxuan usually very quiet? How could she possibly offend someone?"
"I heard that Lu Yuan liked Li Xiaoxuan, so she was blocked in the toilet by Lu Yuan's suitors."
"But doesn't Lu Yuan like Jiang Jiang?"
"You are stupid. If Lu Yuan liked Jiang Jiang, the class teacher would have arranged them together. Besides, how could Lu Yuan possibly like Jiang Jiang?"
"That's right, Li Xiaoxuan is good-looking, has good grades, and a nice personality. If I were a man, I would like her too."
…
The students in the class were still talking about it until the Chinese teacher couldn't stand it anymore and emphasized discipline. Then everyone quieted down and started the class.
Li Xiaoxuan did not return to class until the afternoon, when she changed her clothes and appeared in class.
The experience in the morning made her, who was already timid, even more silent.
Classmates came over to comfort him.
Jiang Jiang took a look and felt relieved after confirming that Li Xiaoxuan was not missing any arms or legs.
In the grade, the rumors about Jiang Jiang and Lu Yuan suddenly became less and less, and everyone started talking about Li Xiaoxuan.
The school took this matter very seriously, but unfortunately, the school did not have many surveillance cameras, so it was impossible to find the person who did the bad thing, and no one came forward to report it.
The matter was eventually dropped.
When there was only one week left before the exam, the school gave students a holiday and allowed them to go home to study and adjust their mindsets.
It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, so it was a holiday.
Jiang's mother has handed over all the work in the store, and she will stay at home with Jiang Jiang until he finishes his high school entrance examination.
Jiang Jiang no longer had to go to the store to eat at noon. Jiang's mother would buy vegetables and cook them directly at home, making it convenient for Jiang Jiang to eat.
To this, Grandma Jiang was completely indifferent. She had never been used to Jiang Jiang and always felt that taking care of him was a waste of time.
The Dragon Boat Festival is just two days away. The store is open in the morning but closed at noon and in the evening, which can be considered a holiday.
At noon, Mother Jiang and Grandma Jiang were busy in the store. Jiang Jiang, who had been studying, also came out of the room and sat on the sofa with the twins to watch TV.
However, after the last incident, the twins were a little afraid of Jiang Jiang. They would unconsciously avoid him when they saw him. At this moment, the two of them sat far away from Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang didn't care, as long as these two people stopped making trouble.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Grandpa Jiang, who was sitting on a chair in the living room, hurried to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Aunt Jiang and her family came in, dressed in fancy clothes. Aunt Jiang was used to dressing up, and her clothes were fashionable and good-looking. Uncle Jiang was a university professor, and his clothes were also very exquisite.
Following behind the two was Meng Zhenzhen, who was wearing a floral dress. She was pretty, had a good figure, and fair skin. At first glance, she looked like a fairy.
Anyway, the appearance of these three people is completely different from those people in Jiang Jiang's family.
When Meng Zhenzhen saw Grandpa Jiang, she immediately smiled sweetly and called out to him affectionately, "Grandpa! I miss you so much, why don't you come to my house and play!"
Grandpa Jiang, who was usually silent, was smiling at this moment, "Grandpa misses you too, Grandpa misses you too!"
When Grandma Jiang heard the sound, she immediately came out of the kitchen. When she saw Meng Zhenzhen, she quickly ran over with a spatula in her hand, "Zhenzhen, you're here. I haven't seen you for a few days. Grandma misses you again. Are you tired?"
Meng Zhenzhen immediately looked at Grandma Jiang, "Grandma, I miss you too! I'm not tired. How can I be tired coming to visit grandpa and grandma?"
"Uncle, aunt~" Meng Zhenzhen shouted to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother again.
After greeting the elders, Meng Zhenzhen walked towards the sofa.
Jiang Jiang had already greeted Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang when Meng Zhenzhen was chatting with other people in the family. However, Aunt Jiang probably still remembered what Jiang Jiang said about her last time, so she ignored her.
Although what Aunt Jiang did at the Jiang family last time made Mother Jiang unhappy, Mother Jiang was polite and welcoming to Meng Zhenzhen and Uncle Jiang.
The family was divided into several groups, the men were chatting on the sofa, the women were cooking in the kitchen, and the children were watching TV.
Meng Zhenzhen was sitting by the Jiang River. They didn't have a very good relationship and they didn't have much to talk about.
"I heard from grandma that your grades have improved. Can you get into Linjiang No. 2 Middle School?" Meng Zhenzhen asked coquettishly, tilting her head.
She probably has all the good qualities of her parents. According to Grandma Jiang, Meng Zhenzhen has a nice nose and nice eyes.
Just by sitting next to her, Jiang Jiang felt that she was far inferior to Meng Zhenzhen. Even if her academic performance improved, she was not as good looking as Meng Zhenzhen, nor could she speak as well as Meng Zhenzhen. Meng Zhenzhen could play the piano, dance, and write calligraphy, but she could do nothing.
Jiang Jiang suddenly understood why Grandma Jiang always said that she was not as good as Meng Zhenzhen in everything.
A feeling of inferiority suddenly filled Jiang Jiang's heart.
"If you play steadily, it should be possible." Jiang Jiang whispered, looking a little timid.
When Meng Zhenzhen looked at her, a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes, but soon disappeared.
"There are only a few days left before the high school entrance exam. You have to work hard and keep a calm mind." Meng Zhenzhen encouraged with a smile.
Jiang Jiang nodded.
"By the way, grandma said before that you cheated in the exam, what's the matter?" Meng Zhenzhen asked curiously.
He clearly didn't cheat, but when asked this question, Jiang Jiang felt a little hot on his face, as if he had really done it.
"I had a conflict with a classmate, so she came to the store and pretended to be the study committee member of our class and accused me of cheating."
"Oh, that's what I told you. How could you cheat?" Meng Zhenzhen nodded.
"Then how did you improve your grades? I heard from grandma that in just over a month, you got full marks on every test."
“Just study every day.”
"Wow, you are really amazing. I definitely can't do it in more than a month." Meng Zhenzhen praised.
Jiang Jiang was a little embarrassed, "You can definitely do it, you're so smart."
"Don't say that. With such a poor foundation, it's a pipe dream to expect to improve your grades in just one month. I can't do it anyway."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiang looked up at her, only to see Meng Zhenzhen smiling slightly, as if there was no other meaning in her words.
"Well, then you can't do it."
