Comparing goods will lead to throwing them away; comparing people will make you angry.
Students from other schools felt jealous when they saw this. They were studying in a public school and wanted the principal to treat them to a meal?
There is everything in dreams.
The four middle school students, who had just finished enthusiastically reviewing their test papers and checking their answers, took out their cell phones and took a look. One student raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tsk, apart from anything else, Yude's treatment is really good."
Yue Shi’s friend list also includes her former classmates from the Rocket Class. At this time, she saw photos in her space of Principal Yu De inviting them to dinner and personally attending the event to chat cordially with students.
She had an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
One of my classmates asked back: "Well, so what? Will you go?"
The top students were startled. Going to Yude? it's out of the question.
If they really went to Yude, they would probably find it difficult to adapt.
The posts that circulated on the Yude Forum some time ago were a mess. Students’ minds are not on studying, they are either competing and showing off their wealth or marrying into wealthy families, just like in the social circles.
In comparison, the academic style and discipline of No. 4 Middle School are serious and upright.
The leading teacher from No. 4 Middle School glanced at the photos of the party and then looked away.
No wonder the test scores are always lower than those of No. 4 Middle School. With such a school atmosphere of extravagance and debauchery, how can one get good grades?
The team leader from No. 4 Middle School called out several students with good grades and said, "Although the results have not been announced yet, you still need to prepare for the provincial team selection."
"No. 4 Middle School will go all out this year to win the provincial first prize!"
After hearing this, the students from No. 4 Middle School smiled at each other in a tacit understanding.
…
Zhou Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the biology league exam. She spent her time in the library, reading extracurricular books leisurely.
Zhou Xiu also borrowed two books recommended by Xie Cheng. Recalling the confusion and bewilderment she felt when writing the biology league test papers, she casually borrowed a biology magazine - "Cell".
On Monday, Zhou Xiu brought the newly borrowed book to the classroom to read. As soon as she opened "Cell", her mind became confused, so Zhou Xiu had to ask Huatiao to help translate it.
Huaxu took the magazine and translated it haltingly for the first time. She flipped through the pages and looked at the cover and table of contents. She touched Zhou Xiu's forehead in amazement:
"Oh my god, Xiuxiu doesn't have a fever, right? This is the latest research in the field of life sciences!"
Zhou Xiu woke up from her dream, "It's okay, Xuxu, just look at the translation. I can guess the parts you don't understand."
Highlights: "..."
The tidbits express rejection of this torture.
I felt a little bit of difficulty when I helped translate number theory in the past, but mathematics does not have many difficult words. However, as soon as I opened the books on biotechnology, I felt a sense of suffocation.
Huaxu took out a flyer from the drawer and asked Zhou Xiu seriously, "Girl, do you want to sign up?"
"You need to be forced to learn English. Without a proper competition, you won't learn English well."
Zhou Xiu took the flyer and took a look at it. "Century Cup English Speech Contest?"
Huatui nodded, "Let's go and have fun. It doesn't matter if we win a prize or not."
Zhou Xiu had never thought about taking part in English competitions. English was her weakest subject. How could she possibly compete with other top students with her shortcomings?
Zhou Xiu said: "We will help you revise your speech, what are you afraid of?"
"Xiu Xiu, choose to believe in yourself. English is actually not difficult at all. As long as you are willing to take the first step, the rest will be easier. Now you can still find us to help you translate, but in the future when we are no longer by your side, what will you do?"
Xu Qing took the "Cell" from Zhou Xiu's hand and waved at her, "After school, I'll try to help you translate it."
Huaxu stomped his feet, "Squad leader - don't mess things up!"
Xu Qing smiled and said, "We can't rush English. Take your time. Xiuxiu just needs to concentrate on preparing for the math competition."
Zhou Xiu: “…”
She took the flyer and quickly wrote down her name and registration information.
After school.
Xu Qing opened the biology magazine, wiped his deskmate's seat with a tissue, and asked Zhou Xiu to sit down.
He flipped through a page and translated aloud: "Nurr1 protein may be a candidate for drug development, and Nurr1 deficiency may be one of the causes of Parkinson's disease..."
Xu Qing ran his fingertips over the sentences he translated one by one, and it was easy to understand the full text with the help of the translation.
Fortunately, Xu Qing had similar books to translate in his spare time, so it was not that difficult to do so at this time. Xu Qing had a faint smile on his face. He saw Zhou Xiu narrowing his eyes in confusion and stopped.
"Tyrosine hydroxylase is tyrosine hydroxylase, do you understand this, Xiuxiu?"
Zhou Xiu shook his head.
"Then Xiuxiu needs to memorize some professional English vocabulary about biology. Let's continue..."
After school, students from the neighboring Winner class walked through the corridor in groups of three or four.
Zhang Qi glanced subconsciously, and unexpectedly saw Xu Qing and Zhou Xiu sitting together discussing something.
Xi Shaoyuan also saw Zhou Xiu, took a glance at him, and then he froze in place.
Someone shouted from behind: "Brother Yuan, everyone is waiting for you, come quickly!"
Xi Shaoyuan controlled the surging emotions in his heart, turned his head as if he saw nothing, and walked down the stairs.
Zhang Qi leaned over the window and whistled: "Xu Qing, do you want to play basketball?"
Xu Qing chose to refuse.
Although he saw the teasing look in Zhang Qi's eyes.
Xu Qinggang declined: "I don't want to play ball——"
Zhou Xiu heard what Zhang Qi said and said, "Squad leader, go play basketball. You can stop here. Thank you for your help."
Zhou Xiu organized her textbooks and left the classroom.
Xu Qing picked up his schoolbag and walked in front of Zhang Qi. He took off his glasses and looked at him.
Zhang Qi was startled when Xu Qing took off his glasses. He saw that Xu Qing's eyes were cold and fixed on him.
Zhang Qi coughed, turned around and ran: "Not going? Forget it if you don't want to go."
Xu Qing said to Zhang Qi calmly, "You probably didn't notice that Xuxu is dating someone from another school."
Zhang Qi: “…”
He doesn't know! When did this happen! He quickly blocked Xu Qing's way, "Who is it?"
Xu Qing said lightly: "It's none of my business."
He picked up his schoolbag and walked down the stairs.
Zhang Qi blocked Xu Qing's way, "Xu Qing, don't be like this, I was wrong. Tell me——"
…
After finishing her meal, Zhou Xiu went to the playground to take a walk to digest the food.
The system said to Zhou Xiu: [Young man, no skill is easy or readily available. 】
【Ding——Achieve unimpeded viewing of English movies and receive a reward of 20,000 RMB. 】
[Ding——Achieve the level of fluent reading of 100 original English works and be rewarded with 2 WRMB. 】
【Ding——Achieve fluent reading ability in English literature and receive a reward of 50,000 RMB. 】
The system also searched for [100 best movies for learning English] and [100 best original novels for learning English].
Zhou Xiu, who got the two lists, said: "..."
[You are quite generous in rewarding me in this regard.] 】
System: [The reward is just ahead, waiting for you to take it! come on! 】
After Zhou Xiu returned to the classroom, she copied the two lists created by the system into her schedule. She took out her phone, searched for the first movie on the list and started watching.
In the afternoon, the students of Class 24 gradually came to the classroom.
Yu Qingyan poked her head out, curiously moved closer to Zhou Xiu and took a look.
She thought the nerd was watching a lecture video of a famous professor from a certain university, but she didn't expect to see a man and a woman kissing passionately on the screen.
This is a classic scene in "Roman Holiday". After an absurd and happy time, the hero and heroine finally faced separation. The hero kissed the heroine with restraint and sadness.
Yu Qingyan: “…”
She actually saw the top student watching a romantic movie! It’s still such a lingering and sad scene!
Zhou Xiu fast-forwarded through the movie and rubbed his temples, "What's wrong?"
Yu Qingyan looked at her calm expression, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind: "Are you learning English?"
Zhou Xiu nodded.
Yu Qingyan patted Zhou Xiu's shoulder and said, "The small screen is not interesting. I'll take you to the movies this weekend."
Zhou Xiu also happened to be planning to watch some movies, so she handed Yu Qingyan a list of “100 Best Movies for Learning English”.
The moment Yu Qingyan saw the list, she couldn't help but laugh.
She said: "These classic movies cannot be seen in the cinema. You have to go to the on-demand theater or private theater. Don't worry, leave it to me."
Huaxu heard this and came over and said, "I want to watch a movie with Xiuxiu, too."
Tan Ming hesitated for a while and said, "Want to watch a movie? Count me in."
Xu Qing also came to the classroom and heard a few girls gathered together to discuss watching a movie. He asked, "What are you planning to do? Can I be included?"
Yu Qingyan agreed to all of them.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the movies together."
Saturday.
After Zhou Xiu finished her homework, she got into Yu Qingyan's car. Yu Qingyan was particularly excited today and put on light makeup.
Even Tan Ming could smell the faint perfume on her.
Tan Ming frowned and subconsciously moved a few inches to the side. After Zhou Xiu got in the car, he sat next to Yu Qingyan.
As the scenery along the way became more and more familiar, Zhou Xiu finally understood why Yu Qingyan was so excited.
The car finally stopped at Xi's house.
We stopped in front of the garden with the iconic fountain pool, surrounded by a green golf course, and the magnificent garden villa came into view.
It was too late for Zhou Xiu to leave, so she got out of the car slowly. I was thinking about whether I should call the housekeeper and inform him in advance.
Huaxu and the others had already arrived at Xi Shaoyuan's home, and Huaxu happily held Zhou Xiu's hand.
Huaxu sighed as he walked: "This is my first time to visit Master Yuan's house. It's really big. You should have been here before."
Zhou Xiu nodded.
When she first came to the Xi family, it took her a long time to adapt to it. It takes half an hour to run around the golf course, which is surprisingly large. It takes a long time to go to study every morning.
Huaxu pushed open the door of the Xi family's private theater. The butler was adjusting the movie. He said with a smile:
"The movie that will be shown soon is The Shawshank Redemption. Please let me know if you need anything."
Yu Qingyan waved to Zhou Xiu and found a comfortable place to sit down. Zhou Xiu was relieved when she saw that the housekeeper did not give her any special care and act very enthusiastically.
Zhou Xiu watched the movie attentively. The movie started with a banker named Andy killing his wife, but he did not kill her. All the evidence pointed in a direction that was unfavorable to him. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
Andy, who was deprived of his freedom, was proficient in financial knowledge. With his knowledge, he helped prison guards to avoid taxes reasonably, helped inmates to set up a library, and even helped the warden to launder money. He gained the trust and praise of many people.
He was forcibly deprived of his freedom, but his spirit and body refused to be imprisoned, so he spent twenty years quietly digging a tunnel in prison and regained his freedom.
On the large screen, Andy's cellmate recalled him and said with emotion: "There is a kind of bird that can never be caged, because every feather of its wings is covered with the glory of freedom."
Zhou Xiu, who was watching the movie for the first time, was stunned when he heard these words, and his heart trembled.
She clenched her fists tightly.
Huaxu looked at Zhou Xiu's stunned expression and couldn't help laughing: "Silly child, are you stunned?"
She lowered her head to peel fruit, and suddenly there was a "hiss" sound, and the fruit knife cut her thumb.
Zhou Xiu, who was immersed in the movie, looked up and saw the blood on Huatiao's fingertips. She quickly stood up and took out a tissue to wrap Huatiao's thumb.
She said softly, "Xuxu, wait a minute, I'll go find a Band-Aid."
Zhou Xiu ran out of the theater and subconsciously walked to her original room. She opened the drawer neatly and took out a pack of Band-Aids.
Huatsu saw Zhou Xiu suddenly run out, and she followed him in a daze.
Zhou Xiu skillfully put the band-aid on Huaxu's thumb. Huaxu raised an eyebrow and asked hesitantly, "How... did you know there was a band-aid here?"
She looked around and found that the decoration style of this bedroom looked a bit like a girl's room.
Her eyes finally fell on the open drawer, where there was Xiuxiu's handwriting.
Zhou Xiu absentmindedly put the Band-Aid back into the drawer. She had discovered that the room was still the same as before, without much change.
Her own money box had a simple word "Xi" written on it, and the money inside was lying intact. Next to it is a jewelry box.
She glanced at it and was stunned. It was the same thing Zhou Xiu had seen in her dream.
Zhou Xiu opened it in a trance and saw the bracelet worth three hundred thousand that had once caused Zhou Xiu to lose his mind.
Looks somewhat familiar.
Zhou Xiu stared for a while, then lost in thought.
Huaxu's eyes fell on the bracelet, and after looking at it for a while, he said slowly: "This is from the same series as Xiuxiu's Christmas necklace."
She came back to her senses when she heard Huatiao's words. Her hands felt like they were burning and she quickly put down the jewelry box and closed the drawer.
