Chapter 56: Gaining Weight in Autumn
Lin Xiao comes from a well-off family. Both his parents are leaders in the factory, and he has been pampered since he was a child.
This also allowed her to receive a good education. Before Hang Jingshu joined her class, she had always maintained the highest score in Class 1 of Grade 3.
Unlike Wu Tianming, although Lin Xiao felt uncomfortable, he was not thinking about how to suppress Hang Jingshu, but to catch up with her and surpass her in the next quiz!
My parents are right. Keep your eyes forward and competition will give you motivation. If you always dwell on your personal emotions, don't blame yourself for not being as good as others.
Wu Tianming was so angry that veins popped out. He stood up with a flushed face, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something. Lin Xiaoyi's righteous tone made him completely lose his courage.
Facing the mocking gazes of the people around him, Wu Tianming hung his head and returned to his seat dejectedly like a defeated rooster. He didn't even dare to say a word to Hang Jingshu's sarcastic remarks.
After being criticized several times in a row, Wu Tianming began to doubt himself deeply. What went wrong?
Hang Jingshu was surrounded by the crowd and didn't notice this little episode at all.
Lin Xiao was sitting in front of Hang Jingshu on the right. She looked back and saw that even in such a noisy environment, Hang Jingshu was still able to patiently answer students' questions. He looked gentle and patient.
Although Lin Xiao is the representative of the English class, they are all students in the same class. When they are busy with their own things, Lin Xiao cannot be as patient as Hang Jingshu.
No wonder everyone started asking her questions within just one week.
Thinking of this, the last bit of unhappiness in Lin Xiao's heart disappeared. No one came to disturb him, and he could also memorize a few more words!
School days are intense and regular. Hang Jingshu likes to see herself making progress bit by bit. Chinese and English are her strong points, while science is relatively weak.
This weakness is particularly prominent in mathematics.
The math teacher always asks her to answer questions. None of the family members understand. Not only can she not finish the test paper, but she also has to rack her brains to answer the questions.
This teacher is so cruel!
At the beginning of the third year of high school, teachers of all subjects were on high alert.
The No. 1 Middle School of the city began to recruit students vigorously since the year when the college entrance examination was resumed. Those who remain here now are all teachers with rich teaching experience.
They all understand that during the three years of high school, attitude is paramount.
Some people may perform steadily until the end of the college entrance examination, while others are easily affected by emotions and their performance fluctuates greatly.
There is another type, that is, those who are usually inconspicuous, but their performance is always steadily improving. Such people are most likely to become the biggest dark horse.
The class teachers of the third grade of the No. 1 Middle School in the city only hope that the children’s scores will continue to improve and that they can steadily embark on a new path in life.
Ding ding ding~
Ding ding ding~
The familiar bell for the end of class rang. Hang Jingshu packed his schoolbag and began to think about what to eat when he got home.
The autumn leaves are falling and the weather is getting colder in mid-October.
Hang Jingshu returned to Yan's house and first looked at his favorite pickled vegetables before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
In autumn, nourishing food is the main focus, especially for the two elderly people.
There were two yams in the kitchen, and Hang Jingshu planned to make a pot of yam, wolfberry and chicken soup first.
Although the dinner is mainly light, it cannot be without meat. There is still half a roll of lamb left in the refrigerator from the last hot pot, so I will make a stir-fried lamb with green onions.
In addition, cabbage stewed with tofu has gradually become a regular on the dining table.
As the saying goes, fish produces fire, meat produces phlegm, cabbage and radish ensure safety. Cabbage is a common ingredient on northern dining tables in autumn and winter.
There are two more edible things at home, which are essential dishes to go with rice, boiled beef and stir-fried beans.
Add some mushrooms and rapeseed, okra steamed egg, and cold shredded eggplant, and the table will be complete.
As a nanny, Hang Jingshu naturally has to consider everyone's taste. There are many dishes but the portions are not large, so they are basically all eaten up every time.
The main reason was that Gu Zhengguo and Yan Chengan were there. When they were around, dinner was basically like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and no one was willing to give in to anyone else.
Especially Yan Chengan, who looks gentle but actually loves spicy food the most, no wonder he has a bad stomach.
I already have ulcers, and if they are repeatedly stimulated, how can I gain weight?
Since returning home to eat, Yan Chengan has gained weight visibly.
The main thing is that although Hang Jingshu always cooks spicy dishes, he also has other things to eat with them.
Especially watching Yan Chengan drink a bowl of soup before meals made the fattening effect more significant.
The night was chilly and the room was warm like spring.
The atmosphere during dinner was lively and full of laughter. Everyone was very happy today. When Hang Jingshu brought over the hawthorn and cinnamon digestive tea, Gu Zhengguo was sitting on the sofa with a protruding belly.
"Xiao Hang~" Gu Zhengguo was very touched when he saw Hang Jingshu bringing tea to him, "You are so thoughtful~"
The weather forecast was playing on TV. Grandma Yan couldn't help laughing at Gu Zhengguo: "You should eat less. You can eat Xiaohang's cooking every day. How come you are so exhausted today?"
The atmosphere was quiet for a rare moment. Yan Chengan paused slightly while holding the teacup, but did not respond.
But Grandma Yan reacted quickly and immediately noticed the abnormality of the two people. She asked directly: "When are you leaving?"
Gu Zhengguo scratched his head awkwardly: "Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The train is next Monday."
Just over a month after returning, the two of them are leaving again.
Until now, Hang Jingshu still has no idea what these two people are doing. To be so secretive, it must be an important job.
In response to this, Grandpa Yan was much calmer. He put on his reading glasses, sipped his tea, and watched the weather forecast carefully.
Taking this opportunity, Hang Jingshu also read the newspaper in the living room.
In the past two days, Hang Jingshu has been thinking about what other side job she can do. Selling newspapers to Grandpa Yan that day also gave her some ideas.
Some newspapers even set aside space specifically for job openings, but due to my special situation, I changed several newspapers but couldn't find a suitable one.
Until the weather forecast was coming to an end, Hang Jingshu turned to the last page of the newspaper, which usually published some articles, and even now there were many short stories of various kinds.
In the lower right corner of this page of the newspaper, there is a call for papers.
The most eye-catching thing is the price, starting from 15-20 per thousand words!
This price is not considered low even in later generations.
Especially now when wages are generally low, it is an income that can provide the whole family with enough food and drink.
The more Hang Jingshu read, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to pick up his pen and start writing.
Action speaks louder than words. Hang Jingshu plans to buy some more manuscript paper on Sunday. Even if his manuscript is not accepted in the end, at least he can practice his writing skills.
On Sunday, Hang Jingshu went to the bookstore he often visited to buy manuscript paper. When he left, he accidentally saw Su Xiangwan across the bookstore.
Su Xiangwan was jogging forward with an anxious look on her face, but because she was wearing high heels, she couldn't run very fast.
Hang Jingshu looked in the direction she was going, but found that Yan Chengan was walking forward with big strides and no mercy, with no intention of waiting for Su Xiangwan at all.
Hiss~
Hang Jingshu kept sighing, it turns out that love makes people disregard everything!
If only mathematical formulas could pursue me with such gusto.
