Chapter 110
For Cheng Song and Tao Hanjin, son and daughter are two extremes.
One is a little kid who has no idea that he will be bullied by the nanny, and the other is a big rock with big ideas that can poke a hole in the sky.
Cheng Yu complained to Jian Li about a bunch of weird things about her brother, including but not limited to talking back to teachers since he was a kid, questioning others at every turn, being hot-headed, and not learning many things halfway through, making him a real "nitpicker"!
Cheng Yu: "He studied civil engineering, why would he go to teach?"
Jian Li: "...If I remember correctly, your brother is from Beijing University?"
For a top-level school like this, it wouldn't be surprising if anything went wrong, let alone teaching.
Cheng Yu was furious for a long time, and finally took out the gift her mother gave her before she left.
"This is a gift for my aunt that my mother asked me to deliver."
A Hermès scarf and a thousand dollars in an envelope.
Cheng Yu: "The money is for my meals."
Jian Li: "...Are you born in the year of the pig?"
Even if you are not a pig, you can't eat a thousand yuan!
Cheng Yu: "Mom said it was to make up for the previous meal money and the rest of this semester."
Cheng Yu stuck out her neck, as if she would not come again if Jian Li didn't accept her.
Jian Li had no choice but to put the money away and said angrily, "Sometimes I really want to compete with you rich second-generations."
She worked very hard and managed to save less than 100,000 yuan over the past few years.
I don’t know when I’ll be able to buy Hermès.
Cheng Yu was finally happy when he saw Jian Li took the money, so he began to exercise his power.
"I want to order food!"
I used to eat for free and was too embarrassed to order the dishes I liked, but I was almost suffocated by her.
Jian Li: "Order, order, order whatever you want to eat!"
Great patron.
The money was handed to Wang Mengmei, who was shocked and wanted to return the money immediately.
"How can we eat so much?"
Jian Li: "You can take it. I have plenty of money."
By the way, tell Wang Mengmei the price of the scarf.
Wang Mengmei was stunned: "Three thousand for just this scarf?!"
She didn't even dare to touch it because her hands were covered in oil, and she was afraid that she would damage the three thousand dollar scarf by touching it.
Jian Li touched her ear and said, "Okay, when I make money, I'll buy you a bunch of them!"
This big cake was painted by Jian Li, but Wang Mengmei doesn’t dare to eat it.
"What do you do at home, classmate?"
Could it be some corrupt official?
Jian Li: "You're overthinking it. He's a scientist and chief engineer."
According to Cheng Yu, her father is the chief engineer, and his annual salary is not considered as salary, but as dividends. Her mother is even more amazing, and the value of her patents is difficult to estimate. There are also fixed assets here that her grandparents' generation had, and it is said that there is a courtyard house in the capital, the kind that can see the Forbidden City.
Wang Mengmei's focus immediately changed, and she began to encourage her students to study every day: "Look, studying is useful! Study hard! You must study hard!"
Jian Li: “…”
Cheng Yu paid and ordered only the dishes he liked.
Candied sweet potato, three fresh vegetables, scrambled eggs with green peppers.
Jian Li: "Can I ask you to order some meat?"
Why do rich people like to eat vegetarian food?
Cheng Yu shook her head wildly: "I just like to eat these!"
"Don't you dislike green peppers?"
"Who said that? I just love green peppers! Green peppers are the best!"
…
Amidst all the noise, the final exam soon arrived.
Perhaps after she had untied the knot with her parents, Cheng Yu finally knew how to be more careful, no longer always sleeping, and occasionally listening to the class. The teachers of various subjects also gave up talking about extracurricular things in class, and instead went over the key points again.
Finally, the final exam passed with everyone in trepidation.
Teacher Jiang stood on the desk and talked about the precautions for the winter vacation.
"Don't throw firecrackers into the mahjong, don't go swimming in the winter, don't go skating in the wild river, be careful not to let people touch your pocket when you go out, and don't follow strangers to the dance hall..."
Teacher Jiang: "Don't think that what I said is just nonsense. The school's notice of attention is all about the great achievements of your "seniors."
The classmates laughed.
The winter vacation results will be posted in three days. Some people can’t wait to see them. If they take these results home, they will definitely have a bad year.
Jian Li found her name on the red list.
Ranked 39th in the grade.
A little better than last time.
With winter vacation homework that was several times more than that in junior high school, Jian Li officially started her first long vacation as a high school student.
Cheng Yu is still ranked last, but the good news is that his ranking in the grade has improved and he is now in the top 300.
The two packed up their winter vacation homework and walked out of the teaching building. The first and second floors were filled with senior high school students who had not yet had their vacation. The senior high school students leaning against the windows looked at the freshmen and sophomores through the windows. There was no envy in their eyes, but regret that they wished time could go back.
The first and second year high school students have their holiday on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, while the third year high school students have to wait until the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and after the Chinese New Year, they have to go back to school on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Cheng Yu rubbed his arms: "How scary."
Jian Li: "It's scary, right? In another year and a half, we will be the ones sitting in it."
Cheng Yu: "...Don't say anything."
She doesn't want to think that far ahead.
The nightmarish senior year of high school is still far away, and all that remains for the freshman year is a blissful winter vacation.
Jian Li's serialization consists of six issues in one book, and it ended just in the month of the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Rou sent the contract for the third volume early on, and after Jian Li signed the contract, she also sent over the draft of her new work.
Several friends from the comics club got together after the holiday, which was regarded as their last gathering of the year.
The location is still Jian Li’s small restaurant.
Song Tao complained: "Really, I don't even know whether we belong to the comics club or the eating club."
Whenever I come here, there is no discussion of comics.
All we did was study Jian Li's menu, and then a few people just ate.
Wu Feiran: "In fact, our club has been around for a long time. I heard that many clubs have already announced their disbandment."
Some are abstract clubs with insufficient members, just a few small cats. When they go out for activities, it's like the leader and the members are having a date alone, which is no different from disbanding.
For some, there were too many people, and it was difficult to gather together, so everyone soon privately formed three or five small groups to go out for the activity.
Those sports clubs that used to attract so many people disappeared after the arrival of winter.
In the cold winter, who wants to play badminton or table tennis?
The most unfortunate of them all was the swimming club, which announced shortly after its establishment that it would temporarily stop organizing activities and wait until the spring of next year.
Wu Feiran counted around and found that their comics club was surprisingly quite long-lasting.
We all showed up on time for the weekly gatherings, although we didn't discuss comics...
After gathering again and again, the relationship between the few people became closer.
So Wu Feiran finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
She asked Lin Shuyao: "What's going on between you and your boyfriend?"
Several pairs of eyes instantly fell on Lin Shuyao, and gossip was written in everyone's eyes.
Lin Shuyao was eating a chicken leg and wiping the oil from the corners of her mouth.
"We are just in love. We have known each other since we were kids."
Cheng Yu couldn't wait: "So you two are childhood sweethearts? Do your families know about this?"
Lin Shuyao nodded: "I know."
Jian Li: "Will your parents agree?"
Lin Shuyao: "I don't agree, so I'm transferring to another school."
Everyone: …
Lin Shuyao: "Oh, you are just too prejudiced against him. Actually, he is a good person..."
Lin Shuyao talked about their love story.
Lin Shuyao's boyfriend is Cui Hao. Their families used to be neighbors. They said they were childhood sweethearts, but in fact they were only neighbors for a few years when they were young. Later, Lin Shuyao's family moved away.
Cui Hao's parents divorced early, and Cui Hao has lived alone since junior high school.
At this time, the two of them happened to be assigned to the same junior high school.
What follows is the cheesy hero-saving-beauty scene, in which Lin Shuyao, a junior high school student, is blocked by hooligans, and Cui Hao comes out and gets beaten up.
Lin Shuyao said that she wanted to send Cui Hao to see a doctor, but Cui Hao was unwilling. When he returned home, no one cared about him, and he had a fever for three days at home.
On the third day, seeing that he had not come to school yet, Lin Shuyao was worried and went to Cui Hao's house to look for him.
Only then did they realize that the person was delirious with fever and was sent to the hospital for treatment.
Later, the two began to fall in love.
After Lin Shuyao's parents found out, they took advantage of a job transfer to bring Lin Shuyao to Taocheng, hoping that the two of them could break up.
As a result, Cui Hao got some information from somewhere and convinced his parents to come to Taocheng to attend school.
Lin Shuyao: “That’s what happened.”
This piece of gossip made everyone's blood boil, but it made Jian Li frown.
She couldn't help thinking, although the feelings of young people are touching, what if Cui Hao regrets it in the future? He ran to such a far place for Lin Shuyao, if the two of them didn't have a result, would he talk about this matter in the future and say "how much I paid for you"?
Can this overly stubborn effort, like a dangerously unbalanced scale, really have a good ending?
Jian Li was troubled for a long time, but after seeing Lin Shuyao's smiling face, she suddenly came to her senses.
Even if they were to separate in the future, it was good enough that Lin Shuyao was happy now.
Why should she be a pessimistic prophet and add so much unnecessary fantasy to the already troubled couple's life?
The club’s last gathering before the New Year ended with a plate of shredded sweet potatoes. The soft and glutinous sweet potatoes were wrapped in crispy sugar shells, and several people ate the entire plate of shredded sweet potatoes.
As soon as the winter vacation came, Jian Li lay down completely. Except for boxing every morning as usual, she spent the rest of the time either lying down or sitting.
Wang Mengmei closed the shop after she was busy on the 25th of the lunar month. The students were on vacation, the migrant workers had gone home, and there were fewer people patronizing the shop, so she simply closed it.
Early that morning, Wang Mengmei asked Jian Li to pack up and go out with her.
Before Jian Li had a good night's sleep, Wang Mengmei stuffed her onto the back seat of a bicycle.
"Mom, where are we going?"
Wang Mengmei: "Let's go to a nice place and show you around."
As they were talking, the two of them arrived near the commercial street and parked the car under the sign of "Huimei Beauty Salon".
The decoration is mainly pink and white, with a large piece of translucent glass at the door, and even the employees inside are wearing pink and white clothes. Against the backdrop of the old commercial street, this store looks particularly pink and beautiful.
Jian Li followed Wang Mengmei through the glass door, and someone came up to greet them immediately.
"Hello, customer. Do you have a reservation?"
Wang Mengmei was about to speak when she heard someone calling her name.
Lin Hui came over with a smile: "Go do something else, this is my guest."
After not seeing her for a few months, Lin Hui seemed like a different person.
Wang Mengmei kept sighing: "Why have you lost weight!"
Originally, Lin Hui had a plump figure, but now she wears high heels and has a curvy figure. Her skin hasn't changed much, but her face is obviously made up, with sparkling eye shadow, and her hairstyle has changed to a neat short hair.
Looks like he's ten years younger.
"I'm so happy to finally have you here. Come on, I'll take you to experience the items in my store."
