Chapter 70070 Lu Xuan: I’m not jealous!
The final exam can be said to be Pei Maomao's nemesis.
It’s impossible to memorize it all.
Ma what Mei? Ma Dong what?
Lu Xuan fell silent as he listened to Zaizai's incoherent recitation. That was not reciting poetry, that was creating new poetry.
Lu Xuan stuffed the textbook back in his pocket and said, "Read it again and then ask me to recite it again."
As soon as he looked at the textbook, Pei Maomao looked as if the sky had fallen. He immediately burrowed into Lu Xuan's arms and said pitifully, "Xuan, I can't recite it. I simply can't recite it! Can we not recite it anymore?"
"Can."
Upon hearing this, Pei Maomao's drooping ears suddenly stood up, and he looked overjoyed.
"At most, you will fail the exam."
Pei Maomao: “…”
Ah Xuan, how can you utter such cruel and heartless words from your mouth!
His ears, which had just stood up, drooped down immediately.
At that moment, Lu Xuan felt that Pei Qi looked like a puppy.
As soon as I heard about going out to play, my ears perked up immediately.
As soon as I heard who did it, my ears drooped.
"Study hard, the exam is only a week away."
Cub: “…”
I saw Zaizai holding the textbook, with an expression of "the hero will never come back once he leaves".
He was most afraid of memorizing. Even though it was just a few lines of words, he could spend an entire night memorizing them.
Cub: “!!!!!!”
It's really difficult for him!
At this critical moment, Lu Xuan was not reviewing for himself. He was almost personally guiding Pei Qi through the review, not giving Pei Qi any chance to slack off.
Yu Hao couldn't help but grumble, "Pei Qi, you didn't just find yourself a tutor, you found yourself a living father!"
Pei Qi: "..."
Ying!
He looked up hesitantly and asked, "Ah Xuan, can I return this study package?"
Lu Xuan: “?”
Are you still picky?
“Learning packages are non-refundable once sold.”
Pei Qi: "..."
It really proves the saying that cheap things are not good, and free things are the most expensive!
Looking at Lu Xuan's pressing look, Pei Qi felt like a bullied young wife, with no end to learn.
Under Lu Xuan's guidance, Pei Qi performed exceptionally well in the final exam. In addition to being the top scorer in the physical test, he even scored 90 points in Chinese. For a poor student like Pei Maomao, that was a big deal.
That night, Pei Qi used a red string to pierce two holes on his final exam paper, one in the front and one in the back, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't see it.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Seeing him like this, Yu Hao couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Why don't you stop walking around in the corridor? I'll buy you a big speaker and broadcast the news to the whole hospital!"
Pei Maomao raised his tail and said confidently, "It's not impossible."
Yu Hao: “…”
"You are really shameless!"
"You're too kind."
Yu Hao: “…”
Hey, you will shine if you give some color!
Pei Maomao, beaming with joy, even took the initiative to come over and ask about Lu Xuan's test results, "Xuan, where's your test paper?"
Lu Xuan pointed to the drawer, "In the drawer."
"So how did you do in the exam this time?" Pei Maomao rubbed his palms.
"It's just okay."
Upon hearing this, Pei Maomao couldn't wait to open the drawer and take out the test papers. What caught his eye were two full-mark papers.
A big question mark appeared on Pei Qi's forehead, and even his voice became a little louder, "You call this average?"
Lu Xuan suppressed his laughter and chuckled, “Well, this exam is the same as the last one, so isn’t that just average?”
Listening to Lu Xuan's outrageous speech, Yu Hao was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. This is pure Versailles!
Look, this is the hateful face of the academic bully!
hateful!
Pei Qi: "..."
Damn it! I'm going to fight you!
Pei Qi, relying on his size, pounced on him and bit him, biting off several tufts of hair from Lu Xuan's head. Only then did he willingly let go of his mouth and said meaningfully, "I think this is more in line with your image of being smart."
Lu Xuan: “?”
"Extremely clever!"
Lu Xuan: “…”
The next day.
Squad leader Yi Qi knocked on the dormitory doors one by one, urging them to wash up as soon as possible. The bus to the orchard had already stopped at the door.
"knew!"
Pei Maomao had been waiting for a long time. When she heard that the bus had stopped at the door, she ran downstairs without even wiping her face, let alone getting toiletries.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Pei Maomao rushed into the car and occupied the front seat with the best view. He swayed his legs and waited for his friends to get on the car.
"Pei Qi, is the seat next to you taken?" Yi Qi asked.
"Got it! That's Axuan's seat." Zizi immediately protected the seat next to him, looking like a kitten protecting its food.
This is the seat he reserved for Axuan!
Yi Qi: “…”
You two really are inseparable.
Lu Xuan was almost the last one to get on the bus. As soon as he got in, Pei Qi waved at him impatiently, "Ah Xuan, come here!"
"knew."
As soon as Lu Xuan sat down, he heard Zizi's dissatisfied muttering, "Xuan, why are you so late? If I hadn't saved a seat for you in advance, you would have had to sit on the floor by the time you arrived!"
Lu Xuan didn't respond, but instead asked, "Have you packed your things?"
"What?"
Lu Xuan gently tapped his forehead, "We're going to stay in the orchard for five days. Did you bring any toiletries?"
Pei Maomao, empty-handed: "?"
Lu Xuan curled his lips maliciously, "You're not planning on not brushing your teeth or washing your face for the next few days, are you?"
Pei Maomao: “!!!!!”
"I'll go back and get it now!"
After saying that, Pei Maomao pretended to get out of the car, but fortunately Lu Xuan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, stopped him in time.
"Don't go."
Cub: “…”
The little guy's face fell, and he said confidently: "I don't want to be a dirty cat. I'll go get it and be back soon!"
Lu Xuan shook the backpack on his shoulder and said, "It's yours. I've already taken it off for you."
Hearing this, Zizi's eyes lit up, "Really?"
A smile appeared on Lu Xuan's lips. "Well, what did I lie to you about?"
The kittens immediately cupped Lu Xuan's cheeks and said seriously, "Xuan, you are the best cat in the world! You are the best kitty in the world!"
Lu Xuan slapped his palm away and scolded him with a smile: "Flatterer!"
The cheeky Pei Maomao had no shame at all. He held his little head high and said righteously, "No way, these are all my sincere words. Ah Xuan, you can't belittle yourself. In my eyes, you are the best!"
The little boy's mouth was as sweet as honey. Lu Xuan knew that this guy was flattering him intentionally, but he felt particularly happy when he heard his words.
Who can resist the flattery of little cat?
Pei Qi was excited the whole night when he heard that they were going to the orchard tomorrow. When he got on the bus, he thought they would be there in no time. However, he didn't expect that the orchard was on a farm in the countryside. It would take several hours just to get there by bus. The bus was shaking all the way, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The little sun suddenly lost power.
Lu Xuan looked at him with concern and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Maomao pursed her lips and whispered in his ear, "If you sit down any longer, my butt will become rooted."
Lu Xuan laughed immediately and scolded, "Are you a big tree? Can your butt take root?"
"I'm serious, my butt is going numb from sitting so much!" Pei Maomao muttered.
The long drive seemed to have drained Pei Qi's energy. Even though he hadn't done anything, he felt aches all over his back.
Lu Xuan gently rubbed his head. "Then lean on me for a while. Teacher Cao said we'll be at the orchard by lunch time. Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Pei Qi leaned half of his body against him and yawned, "I'm so sleepy."
"Who made you so excited last night that you tossed and turned and refused to sleep?"
They slept in the same bed, and Pei Qi tossed and turned and refused to go to sleep, so Lu Xuan's sleep quality was affected. Not only did the little guy refuse to sleep, but he also wanted to wake him up in the middle of the night to talk to him.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Xuan simply held the person tightly in his arms and said, "Go to sleep!"
"I can't sleep!"
"Hard sleep!"
Pei Qi: "??????"
Ah Xuan, you are forcing a cow to drink water even if it doesn't want to!
Pei Maomao was as active last night as she is as tired today.
Not long after he leaned on Lu Xuan, his eyelids became too sleepy to open, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Xuan was more like a conscientious bodyguard, who had to keep an eye on him at all times. Otherwise, if the driver slammed on the brakes, the half-drowsy Pei Qi would be thrown out by the inertia of the car.
They arrived at the orchard around noon. As the bus turned off, Lu Xuan pushed Pei Qi, who was still half asleep, and said, "Pei Qi, we're here. Wake up."
"Well, are we there yet?"
Pei Qi opened his eyes a little, the strong light made his eyes uncomfortable for a while, he subconsciously used his paws to block the sunlight, he took a while to relax, then opened his eyes, only to see Lu Xuan standing there waiting for him with a bag on his back.
"Hurry up, or the driver will come back and take you back with him."
Pei Qi: "!!!!!!"
Don't tell ghost stories all the time!
Pei Qi rubbed his sleepy eyes and quickly jumped out of the car.
Teacher Cao said that the orchard is in the suburbs, which is really a polite statement. It is not in the suburbs at all, it is clearly halfway up the mountain. The breeze blows gently, mixed with the smell of grass, which makes people feel particularly relaxed.
Teacher Cao waved to the children and gathered them into two rows. "You must remember, we're only staying here for five days. You must not damage other people's things, and you must be polite to others. Do you understand?"
The children were naughty, and Cao Wan was afraid that they would cause trouble in other people's homes, so she recited the tight-fitting curse to them all the way.
"If you break other people's things, I don't have the money to compensate you. I can only keep you here to work to pay off the debt. You can only go back when the money is paid off. You all should behave yourself!" Cao Wan emphasized again and again.
Seeing her tense face, the farm couple who hosted them smiled and joked, "Hey, they haven't done anything yet, and you're so anxious about them. In my opinion, they are all obedient children."
"That's right."
The first person to speak was the sponsor of this event - Tian Li, who looked to be a middle-aged woman in her forties. She owned this farm stay, and standing next to her was her husband Zhuo Wei.
Hearing this, Cao Wan looked both angry and amused. She couldn't help but stroke her forehead, "Don't mention it. You don't know how troublesome they are. They really don't have a peaceful day. I'm so worried about them now."
Children of this age are the most noisy. They chirp like birds all day long. If they are not watched, the little ones will rush to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles. They are very tough.
Tian Li looked at the two rows of curious little fur balls behind her and said jokingly with a smile, "How could that be? I knew you were coming, so I asked the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes. I just finished them and you guys are here. Come sit down and eat!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the two tables behind her that were already covered with food. "You must be hungry after all this journey. Sit down and eat first."
"Thank you for your concern."
Cao Wan divided the children into two teams and arranged them at two tables. Seeing that the children were about to eat heartily, she said quietly, "What? Everyone wants to eat without washing their hands?"
Hearing this, the little ones jumped out one by one and asked anxiously: "Auntie, where can we wash our hands?"
"There is a sink at the door. Go wash your hands at the door."
Tian Li bumped her shoulder and teased, "I thought you resigned this year, but I didn't expect you to bring them here."
Cao Wan smiled disapprovingly and scolded, "How could I possibly resign..."
"But they keep saying you're getting married. Aren't you married yet? Your family must be very opposed to you doing this job, right? I think if you get married, you'll definitely quit your job."
This job is too stressful. Once she gets married and has her own family, she won't have time to take care of so many things.
Cao Wan remained silent.
"You're not young anymore. If you lose your job, you can still find another one. But if you get older, what will you do in the future? Men are the most fickle. They all yearn for the girls they were seventeen or eighteen years old. Listen to me, a woman's youth bonus is only a few years. You have to seize it well."
"Auntie Tian, I don't think marriage is a good destination for women, and I am very disgusted by the saying of youth bonus. Why do men prefer younger and more obedient girls when choosing a spouse? Because they are more innocent and easier to control, because they yearn for something as illusory as love, because they have not yet entered the adult world. Before they figure out how to play the social game, these people are the easiest targets to be harvested by the sickle. Only the weak need to rely on the power of others to bring strength to themselves. People with firm hearts rely on themselves to give others strength, rather than getting the so-called sense of security from others." Cao Wan folded her arms. She looked gentle on the outside, but the words she said were particularly tough.
"Besides, who will take care of them if I'm gone?"
Seeing her getting stuck in a rut, Tian Li quickly interrupted, "Silly girl, there will always be a shortage of people at a job. It's not that the company can't do without you, but that you can't do without the company. If you leave, the company will recruit new people, and someone will naturally fill your position. Why are you so stubborn?"
Cao Wan shook her head and rejected the offer without hesitation, "You can recruit people for the position, but it takes time for the children to get familiar with the teacher and develop feelings for her. The job is too hard, and those who come won't stay long. These children can't live without people. Those who come here only stay for a few weeks or months before leaving. It's better not to come in the first place."
This is the same reason why people go to the countryside to teach. How can people stay in such a poor and remote place like the countryside? However, going to the countryside can gild one's resume and give people policy preferences, so these people go there. They go there with the purpose of gilding their resume, so how can they stay in such a poor and remote place?
Do you really think that children are innocent little angels? No, they are human beings, real people. As long as they are human, they will make mistakes and have problems. They are cute and annoying guys.
If they hadn't come, these children could have been content with the status quo. What they feared most was that when they came, they would describe to these children the glamour and feasting, arousing their yearning for big cities. However, these gilded people would abandon them without hesitation after a few weeks.
The vast majority of children raised in welfare institutions are "problematic" children. Why are they abandoned? Because they are born with deficiencies!
A child who has been abandoned once should not experience abandonment a second time.
Tian Li curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "I think you are too serious. This is just a job. You can't expect everyone to be as enthusiastic as you."
Cao Wan nodded and replied, "Yes, I can't expect everyone to be as serious as me, so I didn't plan to leave. If I leave, what will happen to the children?"
"You, what can I say to you? You just have too heavy a sense of responsibility. The people who should be responsible for the children are their parents, not you. You take all the responsibility on yourself. Aren't you afraid of being exhausted?" Tian Li shook her head angrily.
"Before they were adopted, I was their parent. Once a teacher, always a father. I have to be responsible for them."
Cao Wan interrupted her and said, "Sit down and eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
As soon as Cao Wan sat down, her son came up to her with a bowl of meat in his hands. The little guy tilted his head back, his eyes sparkling, "Teacher Cao, this is the meat I saved for you. I even snatched the chicken leg from the boiled chicken! If I had been a little slower, that bad guy Ji Dong would have snatched it away!"
Ji Dong, chewing on some braised pork ribs, shouted relentlessly, "Pei Qi, stop talking nonsense! Things at the dinner table are all about showing off your skills and speed! What do you mean by snatching? I just picked it up with my strength!"
As the saying goes, the little brat will eat his father into poverty.
Cao Wan had just chatted with Ms. Tian for a while before she sat down. These guys were really rude. Except for the vegetables that they didn't like, they ate all the fish and meat. They finished every plate served to them. They looked like hungry ghosts, and none of them had ever eaten enough.
Cao Wan: “…”
"We're outside here, can you please give me some face? I thought you guys never had enough to eat in the yard!" She couldn't help but cover her face and complained in a low voice.
"That's right." Zizi agreed in a serious manner.
Lu Xuan came closer and whispered in his ear, "What about my chicken leg? Did you save some for Teacher Cao? What about me?"
Hearing this, Zizi used tongs to pick up half a bowl of bean sprouts for Lu Xuan and said, "Here, it's for you."
Lu Xuan: “?”
"These are bean sprouts, not chicken legs."
The boy shrugged impudently, "Ah Xuan, you're really getting harder to please! If I don't serve you food, you complain, and if I serve you food, you even despise it. You're really getting harder to please!"
Lu Xuan: “?”
You are clearly turning the tables!
Zizi added dejectedly, "The other chicken drumstick you wanted is in Jidong's stomach. I can't possibly beat him out of his vomit, right? You want his vomit too?"
Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Forget it."
Zizi showed a resolute expression, "Right, right, eat your bean sprouts well. Teacher Cao said that the meals should be a combination of meat and vegetables!"
"What I mean is - when you come across something good, you should think of saving some for me. I always save some for you, but you never think about me." Lu Xuan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
Zizi frowned and said confidently, "Teacher Cao didn't sit down just now. You know how fast these animals eat. If I don't help Teacher Cao take a seat, she will only be able to lick the plate when Teacher Cao comes over!"
"Besides, weren't you here just now? We have to stick to the facts and not make a big deal out of it!"
Lu Xuan: “…”
The two little fur balls have completely different trains of thought, and when they talk, they are talking at cross purposes!
Yu Hao, the only one who saw through the truth: "..."
Haha, Lu Xuan is just sour.
Very sour.
