Mingming's mother left the classroom quickly after distributing the snacks.
The poor students in Class 24 waved goodbye to Mingming's mom happily, "Thank you Mingming's mom for feeding us!"
"Good time!"
Mingming's mother smiled and said gently, "Don't be so polite. Everyone, keep up the good work!"
The poor students happily answered: "Thank you for your concern!"
After Mingming's mother passed away, the classmates in the class couldn't help but sigh:
"Tan Ming's mother is so beautiful and gentle."
"I wouldn't mind having a dozen more classmates' moms like this!"
I really envy her. She is beautiful and kind-hearted. When she brought snacks for her son, she also brought some for his classmates. What kind of a fairy mother is she?
Tan Ming: “…”
You really shouldn't think too much about it, she just came to see Zhou Xiu.
Tan Ming was bathed in the envious eyes of his classmates, as if it was a very rare thing for them to be given snacks by his mother.
Normally, this group of people are not so easy to bribe?
He looked embarrassed, with a dark face, and left the classroom without saying a word, picking up his schoolbag.
"Tan Ming's mother is very beautiful, like a star."
Seeing that Tan Ming was gone, a poor student wiped his hands and said, "Don't you see what Tan Ming looks like? How can his mother not be beautiful?"
A poor student said jokingly: "Have you noticed that 'Senior Ming' seems to have changed recently."
The girls thought about it and said shyly, "He's becoming more and more handsome?"
He spoke less during this period and spent more time reading and writing tests. When he was quiet, his face was still very deceptive.
In the eyes of his younger classmates, he is gradually becoming Senior Ming, who has a good family background, youthful sunshine and positive energy.
The rest of the male students: "..."
Huaxu spun the pen and said helplessly, "I love studying more and more. Tan Ming scored 102 points in math in the last monthly exam. Are you shocked?"
She spread her hands, "He even secretly took the math test paper before he left, so do you still want to waste time chatting? Just do your homework, classmates!"
The poor students suddenly felt their anus tighten.
Holy shit, Tan Ming actually got over 100 points in math in the last monthly exam? Isn't he the worst at math?
Lan Xin and Yu Qingyan were stimulated and took out their exam review books and started writing frantically.
Even Tan Ming, who had difficulty in math, has made a comeback. How can those who are ahead of them feel embarrassed to be left behind?
When Lan Xin encountered a question she didn't know how to solve, she asked Yu Qingyan. Since neither of them could solve it, she went to find Zhou Xiu with her exercise book.
Zhou Xiu put down her pen and quietly explained the problem to them.
The sky gradually darkens and night falls. The incandescent lights in the classroom were turned on at some point, blending into the starry light.
Xu Qing looked at the classmates who were studying hard in the class, and recalled the scene half a year ago. In a trance, he also had the same feelings as Mingming's mother.
Familiar yet strange.
…
The sign light of "Zhou Ji Private Kitchen" went out. Liu Mei finished cleaning the store, sat down and patted her back.
The business in the store has been very hot recently. Zhou Cheng and his wife are so busy every day that their backs ache, but when Liu Mei counts the money she earns, all the pain disappears.
"Don't be busy, go pick up Xiu'er from school!"
Zhou Cheng then turned off the stove and cooked the last dish for the night.
He received a call from Brother Li who lived next door in the village.
When they first came to the city, it was Brother Li who introduced Zhou Cheng and his wife to a job on a construction site. Zhou Cheng suffered a work-related injury and his legs and feet were not working well, so he could not continue to work, but Brother Li continued to work on the construction site.
Brother Li chatted with Zhou Cheng about family matters for a while. After that, he asked, "Xiu'er, it's summer vacation now, right? Are you going back to the village? Your grandma and grandpa Zhou are always worried about you not going home for the New Year, so they kept calling me!"
"Your second brother asked me about you, asking where you were in the city, and wanted to come and seek refuge with you. I didn't tell him, because he might have been jealous of you for making money."
Zhou Cheng was so busy with his business that he had no time to go back. He suddenly remembered that he was so busy this month that he forgot the 800 yuan living expenses that his family sent him. Grandma Zhou was worried about this matter.
Zhou Cheng said, "I'm busy. I can't leave my place alone for a day. Don't tell him."
Brother Li said in a hoarse voice: "How could I not know? You earn your money with hard work, and you spend every penny wisely. You finally separated them, so you deserve to live a good life."
Zhou Cheng nodded and hung up the phone.
Liu Mei was counting the bill. She looked up at Zhou Cheng and waited until the last customer left before leaving the store.
Zhou Cheng rode his small electric stove to school to pick up Zhou Xiu.
Liu Mei was in the hall flipping through her passbook and looking at the balance. She was complaining about her husband buying so much meat and vegetables for the house every day.
She discussed with Zhou Cheng, "Can't you save some money? Let's work hard for a few more months, save some money, and buy a house with enough for the down payment... Registering your household registration here will be good for us and Xiu'er..."
When Zhou Cheng heard the word "hukou", he was stunned while drinking water.
When Zhou Xiu heard that her family was going to buy a house, she was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that her parents had set the ambition of buying a house just half a year after coming to the city.
Zhou Xiu said: "It would be better to buy a house earlier."
"If the money is not enough, I still have some."
Many of the rewards in the live broadcast room were given to Zhou Cheng, and over the past few months, the total amounted to tens of thousands.
After Zhou Xiu finished speaking, he returned to his room to study.
Zhou Cheng was silent for a long time, then he said to his wife: "Whether we buy a house or not has nothing to do with Xiu'er, have you forgotten?"
Before Zhou Xiu went to the city from the countryside to study, Mrs. Hao insisted on moving Zhou Xiu's household registration out. At the time, it seemed like she was "buying" the person out of spite. But in fact, it was for her to go to school that I specially moved her household registration to get her school registration.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiu found things much more convenient after coming to the city to study. Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Cheng didn't understand all these twists and turns before, but now they all understand.
Zhou Cheng kept thinking about how to thank Mrs. Hao, but unfortunately she was a hundred times busier than Mrs. Xi. I travel all over the place, but I can never find a chance to thank her properly.
Liu Mei glared at her husband and said, "It does matter."
She whispered, "Once our household registration is settled, we'll move Xiu'er back as soon as possible."
The family always stays together.
Zhou Cheng understood what he heard, and after a while he said, "I will start working earlier in the future, and when I save enough money, we will go back to the countryside to get a certificate and buy a house here."
Liu Mei hummed softly.
…
The next day. Yude Middle School.
During the break, a package arrived for Zhou Xiu. She signed the receipt and took it back.
Xie Cheng walked out of the convenience store and ran into Zhou Xiu by chance. He stopped when he saw that she was holding a huge box and seemed unable to lift it.
"Do you need help?"
Zhou Xiu smiled and said to Xie Cheng politely, "No, you can't carry it."
Xie Cheng showed surprise when he heard that. He stuffed the bread in his hand into Zhou Xiu's hand and picked up the box.
The moment Xie Cheng took the box, his hand slipped and he almost fell short of catching it, and his shoulders sank a little.
It’s really heavy.
Xie Cheng frowned and asked Zhou Xiu: "What's in it?"
Zhou Xiu took Xie Cheng's bread and said, "Keep it a secret."
Xie Cheng glanced at the label and read out the following sentence: "M&G Classic 0.5mm Uncapped Gel Pen."
"How did you do in the math competition? I heard from others that you handed in your paper forty minutes early."
Zhou Xiu said: "Fortunately, I had something urgent to do at that time."
Xie Cheng walked to Class 24's classroom and put Zhou Xiu's box on an open space behind the classroom.
The poor students just stared at Xie Cheng as he walked in, and the classroom was quiet for a while.
Oh my god, the academic genius actually followed the top student in their class and walked into the classroom so calmly?
Xu Qing's eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhou Xiu. He saw Zhou Xiu and Xie Cheng say thank you and return the bread to him. Watching Xie Cheng and Zhou Xiu walking side by side, talking and laughing. That kind of relaxed state makes people jealous unconsciously.
There was something wrong with the way Tan Ming looked at Xie Cheng. He couldn't help but think of the photo of Xie Cheng sleeping next to Zhou Xiu.
After Xie Cheng left, the poor students in the class suddenly found their voices again.
Xie Cheng gave Zhou Xiu a box of things?
The poor students came over to take a look at the things Xie Cheng moved in, and found that it was a box of gel pens. They were suddenly speechless.
Yu Qingyan asked Zhou Xiu: "Xie Cheng gave you a box of pens to write the test papers?"
Zhou Xiu tore off the label and showed it to Yu Qingyan, "Calm down, I bought it myself. It wasn't given by Xie Cheng."
Shit, buying myself a box of gel pens is even scarier, okay?
Although Zhou Xiu is a fanatic about doing exercises, I guess this box of pens won’t be used up in ten years, right?
Lan Xin looked at Zhou Xiu and suddenly felt a shiver coming on.
Huaxu patted Lanxin on the head and said, "Use your brain, why would anyone buy so many pens for themselves? Stop being so nosy and go back to your seat and listen to the class."
At noon, after school.
Most of the classmates had left. Zhou Xiu took out the prepared packaging bags from the drawer, took out the boxes of pens and packed them into several bags.
Huaxu was doing his homework when he heard a rustling sound next to him.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Xiu, and found that Zhou Xiu was writing labels, and then tearing them off one by one and putting them on the packaging bag.
"Song Erhua, Liu Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xiaoxia, Zhou Dalong..."
Looking at the labels densely covered with names and the pens packaged in dozens of pieces, a string of question marks gradually appeared on her face.
Zhou Xiu put all the packaged pens back into the box, picked up the box and walked out of the classroom.
Seeing that Zhou Xiu was struggling, Huaxu walked over to help Zhou Xiu lift it up. Zhou Xiu said, "Go back and do the test paper. It's okay."
Huaxu didn't say anything and helped Zhou Xiu all the way to Cainiao Station.
Zhou Xiu wrote a courier note and quickly paid the postage.
Huatiao glanced at the words at the end of the signature, "To Song Erhua from Xiushui Village, Sishui Township, Dieshan County."
Zhou Xiu couldn't stand the strange looks from the behind-the-scenes people, so she said, "I'm sending some pens to the kids. They need these."
Huaxu glanced at Zhou Xiu and touched her head with an inexplicable and complicated feeling.
This is... concern from a top student.
