Chapter 124124 [Second update]
If she had a tail, she would have seen it swaying towards Grandpa Jiang.
Grandpa Jiang was lying on a rocking chair when two big red envelopes were suddenly stuffed into his body. After hearing that it was a scholarship, Grandpa Jiang held the two red envelopes with shaking hands, smiling, not knowing what to do. He just kept saying, "Good, good, good... my eldest granddaughter has made it."
He looked at his granddaughter, who had grown very tall, and looked at her granddaughter, whose face was as bright as the sun and who proudly showed off her achievements to him. Time seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, and she had grown from a kitten-like baby to the little girl that made him proud.
He smiled happily, and took the red envelope that Jiang Xi stuffed into his hand. He did not say anything about giving it back to Jiang Xi, but stood up, turned around and carefully put away the two big red envelopes.
The daily income from the store has let him know that his granddaughter is not short of money now. This is her scholarship given to him by his granddaughter, so he must keep it well.
He will not spend this money, so he just wants to keep it and keep it.
Grandpa Jiang lay on the rocking chair and rocked happily. Today is another day that he misses the old guys in the village!
The fermentation of rumors is sometimes very fast, and sometimes very slow.
For example, this matter fermented very quickly in Wuzhong, but fermented very slowly in No. 1 Middle School, because the people from the two schools were all locked up in their respective schools and had no contact at all.
If this rumor happened to someone else, the people in Wuzhong might not pay any attention to it, because they don't know Jiang Xi. It's like in the previous life, this rumor had a great impact on No. 1 Middle School, but in Wuzhong, at most they heard that a girl in No. 1 Middle School had been a prostitute, but they didn't know who it was. At most, they would ask someone they knew if it was true.
Most of them don't pay attention to these things at all. Even if they hear such gossip, they just treat it as a curiosity, other people's business, and after listening to it, they continue to study.
High school study is so stressful, and the school is so strict, who would care about your No. 1 Middle School?
But now Jiang Wu is too famous among the students of Wu Middle School, especially Jiang Wu's name is still hanging high on the gatehouse of No. 1 Middle School. Such rumors spread quickly, and they sounded very detailed. After all, even the police were called in for this matter.
If even the police were called in, it couldn't be false, right?
Someone came to ask Ruan Hong: "You trained in the same training team with Jiang Wu from No. 1 Middle School during the summer vacation. Are you familiar with her? What kind of person is she? Do you know what kind of place she has been to?"
Ruan Hong suddenly heard such rumors, and her first reaction was to severely reprimand the person who came to inquire about the news: "This is impossible! Can you please stop talking nonsense about such things?"
The person who was reprimanded was shocked by her fierce reaction: "I also heard it from others. In fact, I don't really believe it."
Someone also came to ask during the summer vacation Several boys who went to the city training with Jiang Wu asked about it. When they heard the rumor, their first reaction was the same as Ruan Hong's. They thought it was ridiculous and a little impatient: "Where did you hear this nonsense? Do you think it's possible?"
Although Jiang Wu always smiles to everyone she meets, their impression of Jiang Wu is not how good her grades are or how pretty she is. Instead, Jiang Wu has an inexplicable temperament of a dean. When she doesn't smile, she looks very serious and majestic.
Even when she looks at you with a smile and listens to you, you feel that she is like your head teacher.
Yes, that's the feeling.
When they looked at Jiang Wu, they didn't think she was pretty, but they felt a little nervous and scared. When they saw her, they just wanted to study hard.
Jiang Wu was pretty, and they were all young and full of vigor. Usually, everyone in the class treated each other a little differently. Even if they didn't say it, they couldn't help but be sentimental. But after spending a summer in the training team, no boy had any romantic thoughts about Jiang Wu.
Because several people in Wuzhong's key class who spent a summer in the training team with Jiang Wu sternly refuted that this must be a rumor spread by someone and it was impossible, such rumors were dissipated in Wuzhong's key class.
Song Peifeng was the last person in the class to know about this rumor.
No one dared to ask him about it. He heard it by accident when he heard someone else talking about it. His face turned cold at that time.
It was not that he had anything against Jiang Xi, but whoever spread this rumor was despicable.
He didn't know who spread such a vicious rumor. It was as if this rumor suddenly came out and spread among the three grades of Wuzhong.
Especially among the freshmen.
Although the students in the key class did not believe the rumor, they could not stop others from spreading it. After Song Peifeng found out, he went straight to Director Wang Suoping. After Director Wang found out about it, he was furious, especially because the person who told him about it was the son of the county secretary. If it got out, the school spirit of their school would be ruined.
Before the morning run, he held a loud speaker and angrily reprimanded the students in front of the whole school. He did not mention the rumor directly, but reprimanded them for not focusing on their studies in high school and making up some despicable stories.
He said directly: "If I know that some people don't study hard and make up some nonsense, I will record a serious demerit directly. If I can't get a serious demerit, I will expel them! We are here to study in Wuzhong, not to make up some nonsense. We can't afford such students in Wuzhong!"
As soon as they heard the word "make up", those who heard the rumors knew what Director Wang was talking about.
The students of Wuzhong were frightened and silent, and even Jiang Hehua was scared to death.
She regretted it at this time. She didn't know what she was thinking when she said such words at the school gate. Now she was scared to death. She was afraid that Director Wang would know that she said these words, and she was always worried.
Director Wang was really angry.
Fortunately, Lao Zhang didn't know about this. Lao Zhang is retired now. If Lao Zhang knew about this, Lao Zhang would come to eat him up for daring to spread such rumors about their school students.
Director Wang was relieved when he thought that the current director of the Academic Affairs Office of No. 1 Middle School is Director Xiao Wang, who has a gentle temperament.
After Wu Zhongming stopped spreading rumors, Jiang Hehua, who was scared half to death by Director Wang, also breathed a sigh of relief. In her heart, she inexplicably hated herself for being like this.
She knew from a young age that her mother didn't like Jiang's mother. Every time her mother mentioned Jiang's mother, she rolled her eyes secretly. When she mentioned that Jiang's mother was not doing well, she would gloat over the misfortune.
She has seen these things since she was a child.
Although she didn't know the reason, she was influenced by her mother and she didn't like Jiang's mother, including the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, since she was a child.
Even though she never said it out loud, and never showed it.
But she and Jiang Wu were classmates since childhood, and their homes were not far from each other. In fact, she and Jiang Wu were from the same room, and Jiang Gangqin was from the second room. In fact, their relationship was more distant than her and Jiang Wu. But she never took the initiative to go to Jiang's house to play with Jiang Wu. Jiang Wu was occasionally brought to her house by Jiang Gangqin to go out and play, but she refused to go.
If they played with her at her house, she would be very cold and said that she had not finished her homework and had to do her homework.
Others thought that she just loved studying and stayed at home all day to study, but in fact, she just didn't like Jiang Wu's family.
Jiang Xi may have noticed that she was cold to him, so he rarely came to play with her, and even seldom talked to her.
As time went by, they seldom came to play with her, and Jiang Gangqin was more willing to play with Jiang Xi than with her.
It was just because among the girls of their generation, only the three of them were still in school, and sometimes they had to go to and from school together, so outsiders saw that it seemed as if the three of them were still playing together.
But only they themselves knew that it was not the case.
She and Jiang Gangqin could still talk to each other, but she and Jiang Xi had not even said a few words.
It was fine when she was little. She was always the one being praised and compared by others. But she didn't know when the roles between her and Jiang Gui were completely reversed. She had always been the center of attention, even though she had good grades since she was little. No matter where she went, she seemed to be surrounded by a halo. Everyone praised her for her good grades and fair skin, and for being plump and white like a dough ball. Everyone liked her.
But as they gradually grew up, all they could say about this kind of praise was, "Is He Hua back?"
"He Hua was plump and white when she was little, and she's still the same now that she's grown up."
"She's not tall either, she's short and stocky, just like the brigade secretary."
"Her mother isn't bad looking, but both her and her brother and sister look like the brigade secretary. Look at He Hua's face, it's carved from the same mold as the secretary." "
Those little eyes are the same as sesame seeds."
"If we talk about the president, the three children of the big guy's family will be the president."
"The big guy was good-looking when he was young, and wasn't Ai Lian pretty when she was young too? The children are all so pretty, I don't know how they look like that, they just picked out the good features of their parents."
"When his little daughter was little, her grandfather shaved her head and she looked like a boy. Now she is getting more
and more decent!" "Her father and mother are good-looking, how can their children be bad? They must be good-looking too!"
She sat on the edge of the boat, listening to them talking about the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, as if she was invisible. Occasionally, when someone mentioned her, they would just ask a simple question: "Are you tired of studying?" She
didn't feel this way deeply at first, especially after seeing Jiang Liu becoming more and more dazzling, her grades getting better and better, and her appearance becoming more and more beautiful. Sometimes she looked in the mirror and saw herself becoming more and more ordinary as she grew up, and couldn't help thinking, if only she could grow up to be like Jiang Liu, if only she could grow up to be like Jiang Liu...
Why did she become more and more ordinary as she grew older, while the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family became more and more beautiful?
Why can't she grow like Jiang Xi?
"Jiang Hehua!"
Jiang Hehua was startled and looked up at the teacher on the podium in confusion.
She sat in the first row. The teacher had seen her in a daze a long time ago. She tapped a question on the blackboard and reminded her: "Write this question on the blackboard."
The pace of the key classes in Wuzhong is very fast. They have to complete all the courses in the three years of high school in the second year of high school. The whole year of high school is devoted to review. Students are given various college entrance examination papers from previous years to practice various possible test questions.
Jiang Hehua was only in a daze for one class. She was confused by the new knowledge point the teacher talked about.
The teacher saw Jiang Hehua standing there with her face flushed and her head down, and sighed and said, "You are already in the second year of high school, and you still dare to be absent-minded in class! If you don't get enough rest, take a short nap in the dormitory at noon, and don't read too late at night." The teacher sighed, "Sit down."
A week passed, and Wuzhong was calm, and no teacher came to see her. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down her uneasy heart, and continued to put her energy into studying.
But I don't know if her mind was in a tense and nervous state that made it difficult to concentrate this week. Unconsciously, she found it difficult to study. She seemed to have listened to a lot of the content before, but she also seemed not to have listened. She hurried to review the previous content and catch up with what she didn't understand or learn well before.
Both schools were closed on Friday. There were many people from the same town in both schools. Many of them were classmates in the town middle school. Because the two schools were opposite each other, when the minibus came to pick them up, many people from Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School took the same minibus.
They didn't dare to chat at school, but when they met their former classmates from No. 1 Middle School during the holiday, they couldn't help but be curious and asked them if this was true and if they knew about it.
People from No. 1 Middle School now worship Jiang Xi to death. This is the pride of No. 1 Middle School. How can they tolerate him slandering the pride of No. 1 Middle School like this? He couldn't help but retort: "I think you are just jealous because our No. 1 Middle School also won the first prize in the competition?"
But not everyone can defend Jiang Xi like this, especially the freshmen in the first year of high school.
So after school started on Monday, such a rumor quietly spread in No. 1 Middle School.
The rumor first spread among the first-year students.
Then during the break, someone pointed at Jiang Xi and whispered, "She is Jiang Xi, right? She is really pretty!"
Jiang Xi's eyelids suddenly rose, and she looked at these people sharply. Looking at these familiar faces that had brought her a huge psychological shadow in her past life, she did not dodge, but walked over directly and grabbed the wrist of the boy who was pointing at her and talking with a smile: "What are you talking about? Say it again?"
The boy did not expect Jiang Xi to be so reckless, and actually walked over and grabbed him directly, and was shocked.
But he relied on the fact that he was taller and stronger than Jiang Xi, and he started to yell: "Just say it, you have been a prostitute, and I don't have the right to tell you? Even the people in Wuzhong know about it, it's really a disgrace to our No. 1 Middle School..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xi punched him in the stomach.
