Huang Zhiqiu walked around the door and asked, "How about the red one?"

Huang Jianjun's eyes lit up, "This color is good, festive and generous."

"Okay, then I'll buy the maroon one!"

In addition to paint, Huang Kailin asked the boss to buy a few more locks, one for the front door and the others for each room.

Early the next morning, Huang Jianjun took the money and went out to the town to buy paint and locks.

Not far out of the village, I met Chen Bin who was riding a motorcycle to the town.

Chen Bin usually goes out to work after breakfast and lunch. Today is the market day in town and he plans to buy some New Year's goods for the New Year, so he went out so early.

At Chen Bin's strong invitation, Huang Jianjun sat on the back of the motorcycle.

On the way, the two chatted casually and soon arrived in town.

Although Chen Bin said he would not accept money, Huang Jianjun still took out three dollars and stuffed them into his hand.

Huang Jianjun was a fast walker and returned home after buying the paint just in time for lunch.

When Huang Kailin took the paint and lock from him, he asked casually, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"I met Chen Bin when I went out this morning and got a ride from him."

Huang Kailin didn't say much. He opened the paint lid, looked at the paint inside, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

After dinner, Huang Jianjun helped the mason continue to build the door frame, while Huang Kailin took a paintbrush to paint the two wooden doors.

On the day when the final exams ended, during the last self-study class in the afternoon, Yun Mo did not study for a rare time. Instead, she silently thought about what she needed to do after returning to Anshi.

Just as I was thinking deeply, someone patted my shoulder.

When she came to her senses, she found that the deputy monitor Bai Hang had stood beside her at some point and was looking at her with a smile.

"What are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't hear me."

Yun Mo answered casually, "I'm thinking about where to go for the holidays."

The smile on Bai Hang's face grew wider, but it looked a bit malicious.

"Old Zhong asked you to go to the office."

When she arrived at the office, Yun Mo finally understood why Bai Hang was smiling with such a gloating look on his face.

Led by Zhong Weimin, the school organized a winter vacation cram school organized by the top teachers of various subjects in the senior grade group.

It is called a cram school, but in fact it is a special "special class" for top students.

In previous years’ college entrance examinations, No. 3 Middle School could occupy at least 10% of the top 50 places in the province, and the secret lies in this “cram school”.

There are 20 places in the cram school, and Yun Mo takes one. Zhong Guomin called her over to inform her that she must come to school on time for cram school during the winter vacation.

"Mr. Zhong, thank you for your kindness and love, but I'm sorry that I can't attend the cram school. Please give my place to other students."

Zhong Weimin was quite familiar with her situation.

It's not just her, he has a thorough understanding of the family situations of the top ten students in the class.

"Yun Mo, I know you plan to go back to your hometown in Anshi to visit your family during the winter vacation. It's good that you have this filial piety, but have you ever thought about it? Compared with a short-term companionship, your family may want to see you get into a good university and bring honor to the family.

You are still young, and you will have plenty of opportunities to accompany them in the future. In the future, you will even be able to bring them to your side to enjoy happiness. , which is more important, teacher hopes you will think carefully. "

His words are sincere and come from the heart.

Ke Yunmo is a mature soul at the age of 25. She has clear goals and plans for her life, and she has enough confidence and ability to balance family, career and studies.

"Mr. Zhong, although I won't be attending cram school, I won't slack off in my studies. I can assure you that my grades will be consistently in the top ten in the grade for the mock exam next semester."

Zhong Weimin looked at the female student in front of him helplessly.

Although he looks gentle and well-behaved, his temperament is more stubborn than that of a cow.

"Yun Mo, I know you have strong self-awareness and self-discipline, and your grades have always been stable, but the teacher hopes that you can break this stability.

Since you entered No. 3 Middle School, your grades have been consistently in the top ten in the grade. The teacher hopes that you can make some progress and breakthroughs through the remedial class, and be able to squeeze into the top five in the grade. "

"Mr. Zhong, I'm really sorry, I can't attend this cram school."

Seeing that Yun Mo was still stubborn after all the talk, Zhong Weimin's face was clearly filled with disappointment.

"Yun Mo, you don't have to rush to answer. The cram school's winter break has just begun. There are still a few days left. Think about it carefully."

Yun Mo gritted her teeth and asked for leave, "Teacher Zhong, I would like to ask you for a week's leave. I plan to go back to my hometown tomorrow."

As expected, Zhong Weimin's expression could be described as ugly, but his years of teaching allowed him to suppress his temper.

"Yun Mo, why are you in such a hurry to return to An City? Did something happen at home?"

"I have some personal matters to deal with, Mr. Zhong, I hope you can approve my leave."

Seeing that Yun Mo refused to explain the reason, Zhong Weimin could no longer suppress his anger. "What if I don't approve it?"

"I have already bought a ticket for tomorrow."

The implication was that if he didn't approve, she would just skip class.

Absenteeism is a very serious violation of discipline. According to the school rules of No. 3 Middle School, if a student is absent from class for more than three days, the school has the right to expel him/her.

Of course, this is for ordinary students. For top students with excellent grades like Yun Mo, the school will definitely handle it appropriately.

Perhaps seeing that Yun Mo was determined to leave, Zhong Weimin finally agreed to Yun Mo's request for leave.

"Yun Mo, I have said everything I need to say. Your future and prospects are your own. You are not responsible for yourself, so I have nothing to say. You should take care of yourself."

Zhong Weimin's tone was a bit aggressive, with a hint of anger at being a good person, but Yun Mo was not angry either. She bowed to him gratefully to express her thanks before leaving.

After returning to the classroom, Yun Mo sat down and started putting things into her desk pocket.

Yang Huiying looked at her curiously, "We still have classes next week, why are you packing up now?"

"I've asked for leave and won't be here next week."

"Ah?" Yang Huiying's eyes widened in surprise. "You, you mean that your winter vacation will start from tomorrow?"

"Well, you could say that."

As she spoke, Yun Mo smiled at the other person and said, "I wish you a happy winter vacation in advance. See you next year."

Yang Huiying was extremely envious. "Old Zhong actually agreed to your request for such a long leave. It turns out that good grades can get you whatever you want. Last time I had period pain and wanted to take a day off, but Old Zhong only approved half a day."

Thinking of Zhong Weimin's ugly face when she left the office, Yun Mo was not as relaxed as she seemed.

Since entering No. 3 Middle School, Zhong Weimin has taken great care of her in every aspect. This time she insisted on her own opinion, which obviously hurt his feelings. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel guilty, but she did not regret it.

Knowing that she had asked for leave and would be taking the train back to Anshi tomorrow afternoon, Xie Xia was not too surprised. She just said that she would go to Siheyuan to see her off tomorrow morning.
