After Zhou Xiu returned to the Xi family, the first thing he did after putting down his schoolbag was to go out for a run.
The housekeeper was just about to ask her for a favor, but she put down her schoolbag and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He wanted to ask her to teach Aunt Niu how to make pork ribs with plum fragrance.
The butler glanced at the young master, who exuded a chill and had only eaten half a bowl of rice with little interest, and sighed silently.
Zhou Xiu looked at the clock and reminded him, sweating profusely: [One hour is enough. 】
System: [You can choose to exercise tomorrow. 】
[Ding——Get a 5 RMB reward if you exercise for 1 hour a day. 】
Zhou Xiu shook her head, [No. 】
For Zhou Xiu, since he has started, he must stick to it to the end. It is neither difficult nor easy to stick to doing the same thing. One day less or one minute less is not called persistence.
[I said, I am short of money. 】
The temperature is very low on winter nights. After a while of being blown by the cold wind, Zhou Xiu's sweat was almost dry. She was already starving and in urgent need of replenishing her energy.
But thinking of the Xi family's eldest son's obsessive-compulsive habit, Zhou Xiu still insisted on taking a bath.
By the time she was done, the dining table was empty.
The food was also cold.
Zhou Xiu heated up the food and thought about another daily task.
In order to write the self-criticism in a hurry, Zhou Xiu missed the opportunity to communicate and study with her classmates, but if she were asked to ask Xi Shaoyuan for advice, Zhou Xiu would rather give up the reward.
She was very satisfied with their current relationship, with clear boundaries and no interference from each other. Xi Shaoyuan had no problem with her, and Zhou Xiu would not seduce him for money.
Zhou Xiu didn't feel sorry, but he was unhappy about the reward he missed.
system:【……】
It’s not that it hasn’t seen poor students before, it’s just that it has never seen one as poor and stingy as this one.
Seeing that Zhou Xiu had finished her meal, the aunt of the Xi family finally couldn't help but call her.
"Xiu Xiu, can you teach Auntie Niu how to make yesterday's plum-flavored sweet and sour pork ribs?"
Zhou Xiu put down his bowl and chopsticks, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
She said excitedly: "It's not teaching, Aunt Niu is too polite. We can learn from each other. I also want to learn how to make osmanthus cake."
Aunt Niu readily agreed.
Aunt Niu is an excellent cook. She is a professionally trained chef who holds a senior technician certificate. But she could never make the same taste as Zhou Xiu's, there was always something missing.
Zhou Xiu imitated Aunt Niu and made it for her. She talked to Aunt Niu while making it, "The red yeast in the sauce is the secret weapon to make it red."
"Auntie, look at how I mix the seasoning."
Zhou Xiu carefully chopped garlic, onions, vinegar and rock sugar, emphasizing that the optimal ratio of sugar and vinegar is the secret to success.
Aunt Niu looked through the steps and murmured, "So that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't do it."
Zhou Xiu smiled.
Aunt Niu took out the osmanthus sugar and soaked the gelatin powder. Add water and bring to boil. The water in the pot started to boil, and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of osmanthus.
Aunt Niu scooped out the hot osmanthus juice and patiently taught Zhou Xiu: "Put it in the refrigerator and wait for it to cool down. You can take it out and eat it tomorrow."
Zhou Xiu nodded, "I understand! Thank you, Aunt Niu."
As soon as she finished speaking, a "ding" sound was heard: [You can receive 5 RMB if you communicate 5 times a day]
Aunt Niu looked at the girl with such a sweet smile and was touched by her. She couldn't help feeling ashamed when she thought of all her messy worries.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Zhou Xiu's mind:
[Good cooking skills can improve the quality of life. Please learn how to make a "Coconut Osmanthus Cake" and get a 5RMB reward]
Zhou Xiu yawned and prepared to go to sleep.
But when I heard this voice, I immediately perked up.
She prepared the ingredients again. The steps for making the coconut-flavored osmanthus cake are more complicated. It requires pouring a layer of coconut milk every thirty minutes of cooling. Repeat five times and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake will be yellow and white with a beautiful color.
After Zhou Xiu made the osmanthus cake, she put it in the refrigerator to cool. Instead of wasting time waiting, you might as well do your homework.
Zhou Xiu took down the textbooks and test papers and started reviewing her lessons. Every half hour she ran to the kitchen and poured a layer of coconut milk.
This process was repeated several times. After pouring the osmanthus juice for the last time, Zhou Xiu was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes.
She lay on the table and dozed off for a while.
This was the scene Xi Shaoyuan saw when he went downstairs to get some water to drink.
The light in the living room downstairs was forgotten to be turned off, and the soft light quietly fell on the girl. She was wearing pink plush pajamas, and there was a mark on her cheek from being pressed by the textbook.
Her plain face was calmer than ever.
Xi Shaoyuan thought of her crazy look, the look that couldn't be driven away, and he slowly looked away, never looking at her again.
She'd better keep up this obedient face, otherwise he will definitely kick her out of the house!
Xi Shaoyuan took out the water and went upstairs back to his room.
…
The next day.
Zhou Xiu opened the refrigerator and took out the prepared coconut-flavored osmanthus cake. It was like a creamy paste, moist and translucent, and the frozen osmanthus flowers were as delicate as a painting.
Take a bite, it’s chewy and refreshing, with a hint of coconut and osmanthus.
It is refreshing to eat early in the morning.
There are no disadvantages except that it is too cold.
Zhou Xiu shivered with cold after eating, and steamed some in a steamer over high heat and took some to school.
The tidbits were fed again, and she couldn't help but praise: "Xiu Xiu, your cooking skills are really good!"
"Whoever marries you will be very lucky. You might as well not get married. Let's open a dessert shop."
Zhou Xiu paused while writing his exercises and said, "Eat it. This much can't stop you from eating."
Huaxu had eaten half of Zhou Xiu's breakfast and asked her with great interest, "I heard from the boys that Lao Huangniu asked you to reflect on your mistakes at the flag-raising rally on Monday?"
Zhou Xiu nodded.
"Don't go. I want to see what he can do to you." Huaxu turned sideways and said to Zhou Xiu with a serious expression:
"Xu Qing said that if he asked you to do a self-criticism, we would sue him for insulting his dignity. I will borrow my father's legal team and guarantee that we can win the case."
Zhou Xiu subconsciously glanced at Xu Qing who was sitting on the right.
He has a neat crew cut, and the dark black ends of his hair look like ink. He has a handsome face and looks like a good student. Zhou Xiu took note of this person.
Zhou Xiu glanced at the footage and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it."
She paused and said slowly: "Student issues should be resolved using student methods."
…
In the afternoon, there is another math class.
Teacher Huang usually arrives long after the bell rings, but this time he came to Class 24 just as the bell rang, which was unprecedented for him.
He first asked: "Zhou Xiu, have you finished writing your 10,000-word self-criticism?"
"You are still children, so it is inevitable that you will make mistakes. The teacher is an adult, so of course he won't hold it against you. In school, the teachers are tolerant, but who will tolerate you when you enter society——"
Zhou Xiu interrupted him and said honestly, "It's not finished."
Teacher Huang thought that after yesterday's warning, Zhou Xiu had reformed, but he didn't expect that he was still incorrigible.
He immediately flew into a rage and roared, "Zhou Xiu, get out of the classroom right now. Come back when you finish writing a 10,000-word self-review."
Zhou Xiu really packed up her textbooks, homework and draft paper, and walked up to the teacher: "I don't have to attend your class."
"But teacher, please remember that today, you were the one who kicked out your best student with your own hands."
The expression slowly appeared on the faces of all the classmates: “???”
Everyone was confused.
Highlights: "???"
What is she talking about?
Teacher Huang was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out of anger when he heard such arrogant words.
He checked Zhou Xiu's file and found that she had transferred from an unknown and backward county middle school and her grades were average. After another look, there was no background at all, and I couldn't feel relieved anymore.
Teacher Huang said contemptuously: "If you, Zhou Xiu, are the best, I have taught for so many years in vain."
"Your assignment to Class 24 has proven your qualifications."
He has no idea of his own limitations!
Although Yude Middle School is a private high school, it is also a key school with strong and top-notch faculty. Not only did we recruit many top students after the high school entrance examination, but the elites that our school has spent a lot of effort to cultivate should not be underestimated.
The competition is as fierce as that in the key No. 4 Middle School.
Even the top students in the Rockets Class don't dare to speak so arrogantly in front of him, so what qualifications does Zhou Xiu have?
Zhou Xiu said seriously: "So, teacher, are you betting? I won't listen to your class. If I get first place in math in the final exam, you will apologize to me. Admit that I was the best student you have ever seen."
"If I lose, I will hold a flag-raising rally to review and apologize to you, and I will also personally hand you a silk banner."
Teacher Huang was so angry at this little girl whose hair hadn't even grown out yet that she laughed, "You need to reflect on yourself!"
"So the teacher doesn't dare to gamble? Then..." Zhou Xiu said slowly:
"Who are you to kick your best students out of the classroom?"
"Zhou Xiu, you're talking nonsense!" Teacher Huang roared.
The behind-the-scenes actor couldn't help but pound the table and laugh.
Xu Qing couldn't help laughing out loud.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…”
The whole class burst into laughter, and the laughter blew off the ceiling.
Zhou Xiu shrugged and walked out of the classroom holding her math textbook.
…
After class, Class 24 was as lively as a hot pot with splashing oil.
The behind-the-scenes video was about to make me laugh to death at my new desk mate.
After class she was still laughing, shrugging her shoulders, trying to hold back her laughter and saying, "You're great, Xiuxiu. Look how mad you made the old ox."
After she finished laughing, she gave Zhou Xiu an admiring look: "Isn't this a delaying tactic?"
"Well done, who will remember him next semester?"
Zhou Xiu stopped writing, closed the textbook, and said calmly, "What do you think?"
The hand that Huaxu used to support his head suddenly slipped, and he looked at her in shock, as if a poor student had discovered a super-student:
"You... still want Lao Huang to apologize to you?"
At this time, the neighbors around him looked over and smiled at Zhou Xiu:
"Transfer student, nice to meet you? My name is Du Feiyang."
"My name is Tan Ming, and I'm Sister Xu's younger brother."
"Xiu Xiu, there's me too. My name is Yu Qingyan." The girl interrupted.
Zhou Xiu turned around and nodded to them, "Hello."
Du Feiyang, a poor student, felt very relieved. He did not sleep in this class for the first time in his life and felt very relaxed during the class.
He said, "Xiu Xiu, you are a top student, right? Study hard! Let him scold us for our barbecued pork, and slap him in the face!"
Tan Ming, the weak student, sighed, "Zhou Xiu, can you give us a hint? Can you do it?"
"The students in the Rocket Class are awesome."
Zhou Xiu really wanted to be honest for once. Under everyone's expectant gazes and the scorching heat, she suspected that if she told the truth, she might not be able to leave the classroom today.
She forced a slow smile.
"I've already said it, even if it doesn't work...it has to work."
The poor students were suddenly excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Zhou Xiu added: "Class is about to start, go back and listen carefully. I hope I am not fighting alone."
"At the end of the semester, we will win back the dignity we deserve together."
