Friday night.
After a week of exhausting study, the poor students are now looking forward to the joy of the weekend. In a QQ chat group, a poor student accidentally let slip:
"After evening study tonight, I saw Xie Shen from Rockets and Xiu Xiu from our class leave together."
Tan Ming saw the message by chance and frowned.
Why is Xie Cheng's matter coming up again?
Xie Cheng is pursuing Zhou Xiu? Tan Ming gradually felt sad. The impression he left on Zhou Xiu's mind was too bad, and there would be no chance if he pursued her. Tan Ming pondered for a long time, and silently took out the test paper that he hated to write from his schoolbag.
He wrote each line carefully.
Huatui corrected him: "Don't talk nonsense, Xueba is just exchanging study problems."
The poor students were immediately jealous. They said, "I also have English problems and would like to discuss with Zhou Xiu."
"I also want to help Zhou Xiu with her spoken English."
"Xiu Xiu is so good at math, she doesn't need to thank God for help, what she needs is us..." the poor students couldn't help but shout.
A +1 long dragon appeared below.
Although Zhou Xiu was too busy recently to check the group messages and had not appeared for a long time, the poor students chatted for a while and then frantically scrolled through the screen and passed this topic.
Xu Qing accidentally saw this topic and only thought of the emergency notice sent by the school yesterday. He thought that Zhou Xiu also came home very late every night, and Zhou Xiu's home was quite remote.
He couldn't help but send a message to Huaxu, "Can I ask Xuxu for a favor?"
Huaxu saw the message from the monitor and replied: "?"
"Please send Xiuxiu home more often in the future."
Huaxu snorted coldly. Does the squad leader need to talk about this matter?
What is her relationship with Zhou Xiu, and what is the relationship between the class monitor and Zhou Xiu? Next time, she must not let Xie Cheng take Zhou Xiu away from her so easily.
Saturday, biology class.
The biology league is tomorrow, so the biology teachers simply don't want to make use of the last bit of time. They took turns to give students pre-exam mobilization speeches, and the last one was Teacher He from the Rocket Class.
Teacher He glanced at the students sitting under the podium. Compared with before the preliminary round, the number of students in the class had decreased by one third. The classroom, which was originally full of people, became much more spacious.
He said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Being able to sit here today and go to the examination room together tomorrow is already a great thing. Because you have eliminated many contestants, defeated yourself and defeated time. Your teachers have seen every bit of your progress. You are all the best students!"
"Tomorrow, stay calm, think calmly, and answer the questions seriously. The teacher is waiting for good news from you!"
The biology students sitting under the podium couldn't help but get excited.
To be honest... although there are many top contestants in tomorrow's competition, and many top students from provincial and municipal key schools, and even students from key schools have declared that they will sweep all the first prizes in the province.
Tomorrow they will face an exam that is almost beyond imagination in terms of difficulty, but the students of Yude will never give up in this exam!
Almost all of them are students from ordinary classes, and it is the biology competition that adds color to their monotonous and boring high school life.
At this point, it doesn’t matter whether you win an award or not.
What’s important is that they have to give an answer sheet for their efforts in high school tomorrow. Because... senior high school students are no longer eligible to register for the biology competition.
This year is the last year for them.
Teacher He cited the data and said: "Based on the results of previous years, our school will have about 1-2 provincial first prize winners, 15% of students will win provincial second prize winners, and 38% of students will win provincial third prize winners. I estimate that this year's results will be even better."
"Come on! Yude's report card this year will be written by everyone here!"
All the students in the class knew that Zhou Xiu had the best grades. After a class, the female students in the biology class touched Zhou Xiu one by one, while the male students shyly shook her hand.
"Get some of the glory of a top student."
"Wish I get good grades on the test tomorrow!"
"The top student protects me!"
Zhou Xiu curled her lips and said to her classmates one by one: "Yes."
"Good luck tomorrow."
"Let's get good grades together."
"Try hard to get first place in the province."
The last one was Xu Qing. Xu Qing did not shake hands with Zhou Xiu like the other male classmates did. He pursed his lips slightly:
"I won't take advantage of the academic master's glory. I wish Xiuxiu good grades."
While packing her schoolbag, Zhou Xiu said, "The class monitor has excellent grades. I am a top student and don't need to get involved."
Judging from Xu Qing's grades, it should be no problem for him to get a top spot in the province. Zhou Xiu is also preparing to take the provincial exam. Therefore, Teacher He always smiled from ear to ear in class.
After Zhou Xiu finished packing, Xu Qing followed her down the teaching building.
After they walked out of the school gate, Xu Qing stopped and said to Zhou Xiu: "Let me take Xiuxiu home today."
Not long after, Huaxu arrived at the school on time. The car stopped and she got out to take a look. Also coming to school were Lan Xin, Yu Qingyan, Du Feiyang, Tan Ming and other classmates. These people who would never show up on weekends showed up at the school gate for the first time.
Everyone looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, and after a moment they understood each other.
Highlights: "..."
She glanced at Yu Qingyan sharply. Yu Qingyan covered her mouth, shook her head frantically, and squint her eyes in grievance.
"Sister Xu, this is none of my business."
Huaxu once mentioned to Yu Qingyan what happened to Zhou Xiu a few days ago and planned to send her home every day. Now Huaxu only thought that Yu Qingyan leaked the news.
Tan Ming coughed and said, "It was passed on by the junior students in the first year of high school."
On Friday, Qian Miao was asked to go to the Public Security Bureau for investigation. After returning to school, she was given a serious warning and placed on campus for observation. She could not bear the pressure and admitted her mistake.
After the incident spread among the first-year high school students, the second-year high school students only belatedly learned about it.
Before Zhou Xiu could answer Xu Qing, she turned her head and saw the students from Class 24.
She narrowed her eyes and was stunned for a long time before asking: "You...all come to school for extra classes?"
Huatui smiled and looked at everyone with a cold look. Several other people said in unison:
"yes."
"We've finished class, Zhou Xiu, let me take you home."
"No, no, no, Xiuxiu's car is the monitor's. The monitor's family just bought a new car. It's very spacious and comfortable."
Zhou Xiu raised her head and looked at a row of luxury cars parked on the side of the road. She looked not far away, suddenly laughed, and waved across the street.
"No need, my dad is here."
"Thank you."
At this time, Zhou Cheng rode a small electric scooter and stopped in front of Zhou Xiu. He looked at a group of children of similar age around Zhou Xiu and was stunned.
He looked around and his eyes finally fell on Tan Ming.
Tan Ming greeted him: "Hello, uncle."
Zhou Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's Mingming."
Zhou Xiu introduced them to her father: "This is a classmate from our class."
Last night, the school called again to confirm Zhou Xiu's safety. Zhou Cheng answered the call, and Zhou Xiu confessed to him that he was surrounded by social youths on the road two days ago.
Zhou Cheng was shocked and angry, and decided to pick up and drop off Zhou Xiu to and from school every day. At this moment, he saw a group of enthusiastic classmates discussing sending their daughter home, and his heart was filled with warmth.
He said gratefully, "Thank you for caring so much about Xiu'er."
"Would you like to come to your uncle's house for lunch? My cooking skills are pretty good."
Huaxu was about to decline, but Tan Ming nodded decisively, "Okay. I haven't eaten uncle's cooking for a long time."
Other classmates in the class: "..."
This is a bit subversive. Why is Tan Ming so familiar with Zhou Xiu's father? Why has he even eaten at Zhou Xiu's house?
They want to eat too!
Huaxu, Du Feiyang and a few others quickly remembered the incident when Zhou Xiu saved Tan Ming during the winter vacation. It was estimated that Tan Ming had already been to Zhou Xiu's house at that time.
Du Feiyang gritted his teeth and said shamelessly: "Thank you very much, uncle."
Zhou Cheng immediately made a few phone calls and asked his wife to go to the market to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat. He glanced around and counted the number of people. There were quite a few of them, nine in total.
The house couldn't accommodate so many people, so he gave the address of the new store to his daughter's classmates and said, "You go first, I'll take Xiu'er and walk slowly."
Huaxu and Yu Qingyan got on the car. After getting on the car, Yu Qingyan came to her senses and muttered, "I think... I probably know why Xiuxiu is so awesome."
Growing up being called "Xiu'er", how could I not be showy?
…
After receiving a call from her husband, Liu Mei immediately went to the market to buy a lot of vegetables and meat. She also brought her husband's stewed bone soup, braised rose pig's trotters, and sauerkraut pickles to the store.
These days happened to be the opening days of the new shop at home, and the other chef we hired also arrived and was busy in the shop.
After Liu Mei calmly arranged these things, Zhou Xiu's classmates arrived one after another.
It was the first time that Zhou Xiu walked into the renovated shop of her family. The originally messy and empty shop was completely brand new. The walls were repainted, literary calendars and picture frames were pasted on it, and all the tables were replaced with new ones.
The stove in the kitchen was wiped clean as if it were new, and you could see everything going on inside through the bright glass.
Zhou Cheng washed his hands, put on an apron and walked into the kitchen. The chopping board had been washed clean by Liu Mei. He started cooking with skillful movements.
Behind the scenes: It was the first time for Yu Qingyan and others to come here. After looking around, it was not the dirty and messy inn as they had expected. It was a little small, but it was warm and clean.
They quickly picked a seat and sat down.
Tan Ming was very surprised. He remembered that last year Zhou Xiu's parents were still selling things on the roadside, but in the blink of an eye they already had their own new shop. It looks like it's been well organized.
It was already past lunch time and everyone had skipped lunch in order to pick up Zhou Xiu. At this moment, my stomach is growling with hunger.
About an hour later, Liu Mei brought out the dishes one by one.
Liu Mei said with a smile: "Eat more, you're welcome."
"We heard from Xiu'er that you usually take good care of her."
After the post incident came out, classmates helped Xiuer get scholarships, protected her, and taught her English, especially a few female classmates in the class.
Zhou Cheng had long wanted to thank them and invite them to his home for dinner, but he had never had the chance to treat them.
Ten fragrant dishes were served in a stream. They were not presented on the plates and looked ordinary. They did not look as exquisite and luxurious as those in the hotel. But I took a piece and put it in my mouth...
Yu Qingyan picked up a piece of fried eel back with shrimp and ate it, making a "hmm" sound.
So fragrant and fresh! The cooking time is just right, the dish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and smooth. The garlic aroma brings out the freshness of the eel and shrimp and suppresses the fishy smell of the eel and shrimp. The meat is fresh and smooth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Zhou Xiu was hungry, and her chopsticks involuntarily picked up a piece of pig's trotter to eat. This is a pig's trotter braised in the brine carefully prepared by Zhou Cheng.
Soft, salty and fragrant, fat but not greasy. The tendons are crispy and chewy. This was the food Zhou Xiu longed to eat the most when she was a child. She never got tired of eating it.
The dishes are very hearty and down to earth. There are fried eel back with shrimp, sweet and sour carp, clove ribs, honey stewed meat, rose pig's trotters, squirrel mandarin fish, hand-shredded chicken, milk stewed papaya...
Zhou Cheng has been preparing banquet dishes for twenty years and has become quite skilled at it. Although his dishes are not as good-looking as those in big restaurants, his down-to-earth dishes have a unique homely flavor and are very appetizing.
Seven or eight students put down their chopsticks one after another. The table became quiet, with only the faint sound of chewing being heard.
They ate very elegantly, but their eating speed was definitely not slow.
Huaxu took a bite and was surprised. No wonder the breakfast Zhou Xiu made was so delicious. It turned out that it was inherited from her father. These dishes don't look very good, but they taste delicious.
Zhou Cheng watched a group of young people eating. He didn't eat anything. He smiled and said, "Eat more and eat slowly."
"It's very difficult to study in our countryside. Xiu'er has never studied English before and her English foundation is very poor. Thank you for helping her."
The poor students who were having dinner: "..."
I was shaking my head wildly in my heart. Why would a top student need them to lead him? The top students study very attentively and diligently.
It was Zhou Xiu who was willing to help them, and advised them to study hard, believe in themselves and try to take the college entrance examination.
Xu Qing curved his lips and smiled faintly, "No, it should be Xiuxiu who helped our class improve its grades."
"In fact, we are all very grateful to her and are willing to send her home from the bottom of our hearts."
Huaxu wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Uncle's cooking is so delicious!"
At this time, a row of luxury cars were parked neatly in front of the Zhou family’s newly renovated store, which had not yet opened. Passers-by on the street couldn't help but take a look and were shocked.
What does the owner of this store do? There are so many luxury cars parked in front of the store before it even opens?
