Chapter 219 219

"What? How old are you?" Zhang Min thought she had misheard.

Her voice was so loud that Xi Weilu shrank her head. Shen Xinlan saw it and hurriedly stopped Zhang Min's loud voice, "Don't scare the little girl."

Her voice was naturally soft, and after deliberately softening it, it was really gentle to the core. Coupled with her sweet, kind and fair face, she looked at Xi Weilu who was shrinking in the corner and asked gently: "You just said you were fourteen, right?"

Xi Weilu blinked.

"Oh my God, she's so young, I thought I was the youngest in the dormitory! Fourteen years old, my God, so did you skip a grade?" Zhang Min was smart since she was a child, and studying was easy for her. People around her always praised her for her intelligence, and she was also proud of it. It was not

until she entered Peking University and the School of Mathematics that she realized what it meant to be surrounded by geniuses. Her original intelligence was lost among these true geniuses and was unremarkable.

She originally thought that having Jiang Xi in their dormitory was already exaggerated enough, but she didn't expect that there would be someone even more exaggerated in the dormitory.

Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian also came over curiously, which made Xi Weilu, who was already nervous, even more nervous.

Jiang Xi was also on the upper bunk, diagonally opposite to Xi Weilu's bed. The two of them happened to be facing each other, and could clearly see the expression on Xi Weilu's face and the tension and fear in her eyes.

She noticed something was wrong and called Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian: "Liu Yan, Qianqian, come over here, you are so tall, you are blocking my sight."

Yu Qianqian was puzzled, I am only 1.59 meters tall, how can I be in your sight? But she was soft-hearted, and before she wanted to refute, her body had already made way first, and then she saw the look Jiang Xi gave her. She turned her head and glanced at Xi Weilu who was huddled in the corner nervously, and suddenly reacted, "Yes, yes, it's all because I'm too tall." She pulled Liu Yan: "Yanzi, come sit next to me, we won't block her eyes."

Her bed was just below Jiang Xi's, and she pulled Liu Yan to her bed.

Liu Yan turned around and saw Jiang Xi and Yu Qianqian winking at her, so she reacted and sat down on Yu Qianqian's bed.

Shen Xinlan also reacted and pulled Zhang Min and said, "Stay away from me. It's uncomfortable for me to sit if you stand over here."

Her bed was below Xi Weilu's, and she really couldn't sit comfortably because they all squeezed over just now.

The people around the bed dispersed, and Xi Weilu relaxed a little, but she still maintained the posture of curling up behind the quilt. After a while, she slowly put down the quilt and looked at everyone.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Min returned to her own bed, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, put them in the lid of a shoe box, and handed it to Xi Weilu, "Aren't you too timid? If I had known you were so young...”

What if I had known she was so young? It seemed like she wouldn’t do anything. But after knowing her age, Zhang Min still felt guilty for her previous rejection of her, for gossiping about her to Jiang Xi behind her back, and for wanting to drive her out of their dormitory.

Feeling guilty, she took out a bunch of snacks, put them in the lid of the shoe box, and pushed them all over to her, “Hey, be braver. Everyone in our dormitory is so nice. No one will bully you.”

She has a sunny and cheerful personality, and her smile is as dazzling as the carefree sunshine.

Shen Xinlan also said softly: “Yes, don’t be afraid. We didn’t know you were so young before. You just came to our dormitory and we are not familiar with you. Are you scared? "

The result of the poisoning case next door came out some time ago, making the students of Tsinghua University and Peking University in a state of tension. They were quite repulsive to the students from the School of Chemistry who suddenly came to their dormitory. In addition, Xi Weilu went out early and came back late every day. She usually went into the mosquito net when she returned to the dormitory and didn't talk to them or make any noise. They always pretended that there was no such person in the dormitory and were a little wary of her.

If Jiang Xi hadn't returned to the dormitory and came back with her every night, they would probably have continued to be as unfriendly as before. She said, she never thought that this skinny and small girl, who always covered her face with her hair, and had a gloomy temperament and looked a bit like a little mouse, was actually a genius girl of only fourteen years old.

You know, the School of Chemistry is also one of the four craziest schools.

The girl in their dormitory is definitely a genius girl.

Unlike Jiang Xi, who is considered a fake genius by others, Xi Weilu is a real genius girl.

The sisters felt pity for her.

But more importantly, no matter what they asked her, she would not say anything. Jiang Xi and the others saw her. He didn't want to talk, nor did he ask around. He just took the little girl with him wherever he went and shared everything he ate with her.

Especially Zhang Min, she felt guilty for rejecting her before, and she protected Xi Weilu like her own little sister.

Because there were no classes during the holidays, Shen Xinlan went home during the holidays. Jiang Xi didn't go home, but she had a rental house outside the school and moved out of the dormitory. The house she bought in Beijing before was also available, so she could apply for a property certificate and renovate it. Only

Liu, Zhang, and Jiang Xi were left in the dormitory . Yu, Xi Weilu, and Liu Yan worked as teachers in a training institution during the day and returned to the dormitory at night.

Among the three of Liu, Zhang, and Yu, except Zhang Min, Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian were all good-tempered. Zhang Min also protected Xi Weilu. Yu Qianqian described Zhang Min as lazy and greedy. Because she loved to eat, Zhang Min liked to buy all kinds of snacks wherever she went. Every time she bought some snacks, she would bring some for Xi Weilu.

She was a person who would not tolerate being refused. Every time, she would say, "You are not allowed to say no, or you will look down on me!" Then she would show her little white teeth, happily return to her bed, cross her legs, eat melon seeds, read, or chat.

They were very curious about Xi Weilu. While chatting, they couldn't help asking Xi Weilu, "Lulu, what happened to you before? Why did you suddenly transfer to our dormitory? Did someone bully you before?”

Zhang Min raised her head and said loudly: “You must tell us if you are bullied, do you know? The sisters will help you!”

Liu Yan spoke slowly and gently. This gentleness was different from the soft voice that Shen Xinlan was born with, nor was it the kind of tender gentleness, but a kind of emotional stability, speaking speed, and steady tone that gave people a sense of gentleness.

She put down the book and said: “Zhang Min is right, you are young, and we are all sisters. If you are wronged outside, or bullied, and don’t know how to deal with it, just come back and tell us, understand?”

“Yes, yes, yes! "Zhang Min stood up, stood in front of Xi Weilu's bed, smiled at Xi Weilu with her crescent eyes, "There's nothing to be afraid of. If you have any problems, just tell your sister and she will help you!" She patted her chest.

Yu Qianqian laughed and said to Xi Weilu, "It's not easy to get a lazy person like Zhang Min to say something to stand up for you. Lulu, next time you have any problems, just tell Zhang Min."

Zhang Min would rather lie down than sit, and she usually does nothing.

Every time it was her turn to be on duty, she would just mop the floor and that was it. In her eyes, cleaning the dormitory was all good and neat. In Jiang's mother's words, "There is no life in her eyes."

The reason why she said such thankless words to help others was not only because she was not afraid of trouble, but also because of her previous guilt, she took Xi Weilu under her wing and treated her as her own.

Xi Weilu said nothing, but just watched them quietly, but compared with the tension when she first came to the 401 dormitory, she was obviously not so nervous.

Another obvious change was that Zhang Min lifted her mosquito net and hung it on both sides of the mosquito net with two hooks, so that the light could shine into her mosquito net, making her view inside the mosquito net not so dim.

In Zhang Min's words, "There are no mosquitoes in the winter, so why put up a mosquito net? The light is not good, and we can't even see each other's faces when we chat."

Before, she would always crawl into the mosquito net and read inside it when she returned to the dormitory. Now, she still sits on her bed and reads quietly, but the mosquito net is not closed as before, but opened.

She has to open it, Zhang Min will help her open it.

After a few times, she was helpless and stopped putting down the mosquito net, but let it hang on both sides, and occasionally stopped writing out of habit to listen to their chat.

They always have a lot of fun chatting, especially Zhang Min, who laughs wildly, speaks in exaggerated movements, and loves chatting and talking. She is passionate and very infectious. When she talks, she is very excited and dances with her hands. Even Liu Yan and Yu Qianqian, who originally only like to read and don't like chatting, are attracted to chatting.

It is mainly because Yu Qianqian and Zhang Min chat more, while Liu Yan mostly listens, occasionally joining in and saying something of her own.

Zhang Min often pulls Xi Weilu in while she is talking. It doesn't matter if Xi Weilu doesn't speak, she can dominate the whole conversation by herself, making people unconsciously cast their eyes on her and listen to her.

When Zhang Min saw Xi Weilu put down her pen and listen to her, she talked more vigorously and became happier.

Jiang Xi was very busy this winter break, mainly because of two things. One was that the movie "The King's Guard", which was finished without any fanfare, was scheduled for the winter break New Year's Day release date. There was no news about it before, but the promotion suddenly started. Jiang Xi was busy with her final exams and didn't pay attention to this matter. She only received a text message notification saying that "The King's Guard" had been scheduled for the release date and month, but didn't say anything about her promotion. But during the days when she was nervous about the exams, the outside world was already flooded with promotions for "The King's Guard".

The publisher knew that the film rights of "The King's Guard" had been sold. A famous director who is very good at shooting martial arts movies had already made preparations. As soon as the promotion of "The King's Guard" was released, they had already prepared to reprint the published book and the movie's promotional posters, and they were also placed in major bookstores. Under the huge movie posters was a pile of "My Years as the Commander of the King's Guard".

Although this book was only completed this year, its sales volume is no worse than the previous two books of Li Meng, "The King's Guard" and "White Snake Cultivation", and it even has a trend of catching up.

With the popularity of the TV series "The King's Guard" in the second half of this year, the physical book "The King's Guard" has been sold like crazy.

A bookseller once talked about his business history. He said that the first pot of gold he made in the 1990s was from selling pirated copies of "Happy Little Swallow". This book alone earned him 5 million in the late 1990s. 5 million in the 1990s. From this, we can see that the popularity of "Little Swallow" in those years can also be seen from the degree to which a popular TV series can increase the sales of physical books.

The popularity of the TV series "The King's Guard" has just passed a little, and the movie "The King's Guard" is on the air, which makes the publisher very happy.

This is already the third book of Jiang Bai with a total sales of over 10 million.

The drama "The King's Guard" has directly made Jiang Bai's current popularity second only to the current starring actors of "Little Swallow".

The final version of the script for "White Snake" was finally completed, and Jiang Bai was chosen by producer Li to play the male lead Xu Xian in "White Snake".

Even though he was temporarily unable to join the crew for filming because of his final exams, the director and producer Li showed enough attention and love for him. In the filming arrangement, they filmed other scenes first and concentrated his scenes during the winter vacation.

The heroine of the TV series "White Snake" is a beautiful girl who was selected by producer Li from the military art academy. She has a good family background and is very pretty. She is not the cold and aloof White Snake in the original novel, but a fairy-like, quirky and sweet girl.

Yes, it is very different from the movie version of "The Legend of White Snake". Producer Li and the director's positioning of the female lead is first of all to have audience appeal and to look like the audience.

So the female lead must make the audience happy at first glance. The little white snake can be cunning in the book, but in the TV series, she cannot be cunning, she must be quirky.

Also because she was selected from the military art school, the little girl had never filmed a play before, and she had a lot of problems in her first filming. Fortunately, the little girl is full of spirit, smart and studious, and she is also a hardworking person. Because she is a student, she has a lot of time, and most of the previous scenes are about them.

As one of the screenwriters, Jiang Qi also needs to follow the crew after the exam.

She took a plane directly to Shanghai to meet with Jiang Bai and others, and then went to Hangzhou.

Because many scenes have to be filmed in Hangzhou and its surrounding areas.

However, before going to Hangzhou, Jiang Xi still has a task to do, which is to send Grandpa Jiang back to his hometown first, because their second cousin Jiang Hongbing is getting married at the end of the year, Jiang Bai can't go because of filming, and Jiang Song is still unknown and can't be contacted. As cousins, they have a very close relationship, so one of them must go back. If neither of them goes back, it would be too unreasonable.

Grandpa Jiang also has to go back in advance when his grandson gets married.

So Jiang Bai and Tong Jingang joined the "White Snake" crew to film, and Jiang Xi and Song Peifeng sent Grandpa Jiang back to Jiangjia Village.

Grandpa Jiang was very happy, not only because his second grandson got married, but also because his eldest granddaughter brought his grandson-in-law back to the village.

When his eldest granddaughter got married, he was afraid that she would fall in love too early and affect her academic performance. He was afraid that she would get married and have children before graduating from college.

There are so many things in the world, and having children is the least important one.

Otherwise, why was it that among so many educated youth in their village, only Teacher Xiao An stayed, while other educated youth would leave even if they had to abandon their wives and children, husbands and daughters, and return to the big city to live?

At that time, Grandpa Jiang understood that for many people, marriage is not the most important thing, and children are not the most important thing. Grandpa Jiang did not know what is the most important thing, and he could not say it, but he vaguely felt that it should be themselves.

He himself could not do this, but he hoped that his granddaughter could also put herself in the most important position.

He simply thought that Jiang Gui should finish his studies first and then get a job. The best job would be to be a civil servant in the system. With a stable job, he would never have to worry about hunger for the rest of his life.

Then, it was time for her to deal with things like getting married and having children.

These things had to be put after studies and careers.

Grandpa Jiang was worried. Every day when he talked to Jiang Xi on the phone, he told her to study hard, to finish college, to pass the civil service exam, to work, and not to get married now...

But what did the eldest granddaughter say?

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? What about getting married and having children? What's good about getting married? Divorce is troublesome, just have a relationship, and when you don't like it anymore, you can change it. It's hard to change after you get married and get the marriage certificate!"

Grandpa Jiang: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ|||

What is my eldest granddaughter talking about?

Although the granddaughter's words were beyond the education and values ​​that Grandpa Jiang had received since childhood, he was only shocked for a moment and quickly accepted the fact that the most important thing in Jiang Qing's life was not marriage and childbirth, not family, but study and happiness. He

was full of guilt and pity when he saw Song Peifeng again.

Of course, he would not ask his granddaughter to do this or that, but he felt guilty about Song Peifeng. After all, his granddaughter thought that when she didn't like him anymore, she would replace Comrade Song. When

Grandpa Jiang saw him, he always felt that his granddaughter was cheating on him.

Now that Jiang Wu is willing to take Song Peifeng home, Grandpa Jiang finally heaved a sigh of relief, and his guilt was not as strong anymore.

This shows that his eldest granddaughter still wants to have a good time studying with Song Peifeng.

The reason why Jiang Wu agreed to let Song Peifeng and her send Grandpa Jiang home together was because the roads were slippery on snowy days.

The biggest pain and fear in Jiang Wu's heart was that Grandpa Jiang fell in his previous life, and they didn't have time to rush back to see him for the last time, and Grandpa Jiang was gone.

So she was particularly afraid that Grandpa Jiang would fall.

Jiang Bai was not there, and she helped Grandpa Jiang walk in the snow by herself. She was afraid of accidents, so she asked Song Peifeng to go with her.

Although Song Peifeng was not ready to meet Jiang Xi's parents, the fact that his girlfriend was willing to take him home made him feel as happy as eating honey.

For this reason, he even called his family in advance to tell them. When the car arrived in Wucheng, his parents prepared a lot of gifts for him, came to the bus station to pick up Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Xi, and enthusiastically called them to have dinner at home. Secretary

Song was so busy, but he actually came to pick up Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Xi in person, which really made Grandpa Jiang feel a little flattered. It also made Grandpa Jiang see the Song family's attention and attitude towards Jiang Xi. In particular, he saw that Song Peifeng's mother was also a very kind and enthusiastic person to Jiang Xi, and was very polite.

Grandpa Jiang, who was originally worried because his granddaughter fell in love too early, now thinks that Song Peifeng is good no matter how he looks at him after seeing how much attention and attitude Song Peifeng's parents have towards Jiang Liu. He simply can't find any faults with him. The more he looks at him,

the more satisfied he is.

His grandson-in-law is good-looking, tall and with long legs, only slightly inferior to his older grandsons! He

is also a top student at Tsinghua University, and his father is an official.

The key is that his parents like their own granddaughter!

Otherwise, why would a big secretary take time out of his busy schedule to make this trip?

Grandpa Jiang felt that if his grandson-in-law was Song Peifeng, his own granddaughter's life would definitely be good in the future.

Looking at Song Peifeng now, Grandpa Jiang seemed to be able to see the days that Jiang Xi would live after marriage.

They would definitely be a harmonious couple, with good harmony and good discussions.

The key is that this little Song has a good temper and a stable mood.

This is very important to Grandpa Jiang.

He has seen too many rural men with bad tempers who beat and scold women and throw things at home. Not to mention others, even Jiang's father and Jiang's mother would throw things when they quarreled.

Grandpa Jiang felt that for people like little Song who do things slowly and steadily, when they find a problem, they must solve the problem first, instead of being furious and throwing things, losing their temper, or even hitting women.

But after listening to Jiang Xi's words, Grandpa Jiang understood that his eldest granddaughter, let alone getting married, was still thinking about changing her husband in the future.

But now, Song Peifeng and Jiang Xi were going to send Grandpa Jiang back to Jiangjia Village together. Would Grandpa Jiang be happy?

Bringing this man back to their hometown would mean that they had a clear path forward. It meant that their eldest granddaughter was willing to take him back to meet the family, and that it was settled!

The more Grandpa Jiang thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He walked more and more vigorously, and his steps became bigger unconsciously, as if he was walking briskly when he was young.

In the past few years, he always felt that he might not live to see his granddaughter get married and have children. If he didn't see his granddaughter get married, he didn't know whether she would live a good life in the future. He always felt that he would not be at peace even if he died.

Seeing Song Peifeng now, even though his granddaughter and him were just dating and not married, Grandpa Jiang felt relieved when he looked at him.

So he put his hands behind his back and walked forward happily, while Song Peifeng and Jiang Xi supported Grandpa Jiang on the boat from left to right.

Jiang Xi is now in Wucheng, and almost everyone knows her. When she walks on the street, she is really like a big star. Even strangers who don’t know her can’t help but ask in surprise after looking up and seeing her face: "Hey, are you that... Jiang Xi! Your name is Jiang Xi, right?"

"Oh, it’s really you?"

"Are you back from winter vacation?"

She saw Song Peifeng, who was walking towards the pier with her and supporting Grandpa Jiang: "Is this your boyfriend? The boy is so handsome, they are a perfect match!"

Jiang Xi originally planned to go to Aunt Jiang's house, but seeing this situation, she dared not go to Aunt Jiang's house. She and Song Peifeng supported Grandpa Jiang and hurriedly walked through the old street to the pier.

Song Peifeng laughed.

Grandpa Jiang also laughed.

People on the street kept greeting Grandpa Jiang: "Grandpa, you are so lucky! You have such a good granddaughter and grandson-in-law!"

Grandpa Jiang smiled and waved to the people who greeted him: "You are blessed too!

We are all blessed!" It was New Year's Day, and who doesn't want to hear good words? Upon hearing the words, they all smiled and said, "Yes, we are all blessed, we are all blessed. Our lives are getting better and better, aren't we blessed!"

Because it was the end of the year, there were a lot of people on the street, and when the crowd heard Jiang Xiu's name and saw 'Jiang Xiu', they all turned around to look at Jiang Xiu.

For the first time, Jiang Xi experienced the feeling of the idiom "watching Wei Jie to death". He just wanted to finish walking this street quickly. It happened to be the only way to the pier. If there was no pier, this street would not be so prosperous.

Along the way, people stuffed things into Jiang Xi's pockets, such as apples, oranges, peanuts, melon seeds, and various candies. Even the socks seller wanted to stuff two pairs of socks into Jiang Xi's pockets.

Even though Jiang Xi repeatedly said no, he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the old people: "It's not a valuable thing, just eat it for fun!" He

really couldn't leave. People would stuff things into your pockets even if they pulled your clothes.

Jiang Xi's pockets, the net pockets on both sides of his schoolbag, and the hat behind his down jacket were all stuffed with food.

Not only her, Song Peifeng was the same.

Jiang Luo couldn't fit in any more, so they stuffed the gifts into Song Peifeng's pocket. Poor Song Peifeng had to support Grandpa Jiang with one hand, and carry the gifts prepared by his parents with the other hand. He couldn't refuse at all. Not only were his pockets and hat filled with all kinds of candies and snacks, but even the gift bag he carried was filled with all kinds of food.

The two of them supported Grandpa Jiang all the way to the dock, and looking at each other's wolfish looks, they couldn't help but laugh.

Grandpa Jiang looked at the two of them smiling at each other, and helping each other pack their hats and pockets, and he felt so happy in his heart. He sat at the bow, feeling the cold winter wind and looking at the snow-covered lake. For the first time in the cold

winter, he also experienced the beauty of his hometown.
