Chapter 34 Borrowing Homework
On Monday morning, Li Wenxi found three potato cakes on the table. She glanced at Qin Lan, but found that Qin Lan was looking at Li Hongbin.
Li Hongbin took the initiative to pick up a potato cake for Li Wenxi.
Li Wenting took a look and bit her lip: "Mom, I'm not hungry today, I won't eat breakfast." Then she was about to put on her schoolbag and leave.
"How can you not eat breakfast? You still have classes." Qin Lan hurriedly said: "I know you work hard, so at least bring the potato cakes to school and eat them when you are hungry."
Li Wenting didn't say anything else, waiting for Qin Lan to put the potato cakes into the aluminum lunch box and take it away.
As soon as Li Wenting left, Li Wenhua, who was drinking porridge, said, "I'm leaving too." After that, he wolfed down a meat bun, took a fried dough stick in his hand, picked up his schoolbag and ran out.
Qin Lan turned around and saw Li Wenxi eating potato cakes slowly and leisurely. Well, she ate more politely than before, but she was still angry. She frowned and looked at Li Hongbin: "Look, you know to pick up potato cakes for Xiaoxi, but why don't you pick up some for the other two? I think Tingting must be upset and left without eating."
Li Hongbin thought about it and realized that he shouldn't pick up only Li Wenxi: "I know, I'll pick up some next time. But Tingting used to be like this, she would go early on Monday morning. It's not like this just now."
Li Wenxi heard the clues and was afraid that she went there early to copy homework.
Whoever sits in the first row is the team leader of this group, responsible for collecting the group's homework every day. Group members will automatically hand in the day's homework to the team leader before the morning reading class. So she knew Li Wenting's homework too well.
Sure enough, when the English morning reading was over, Li Wenxi found that Li Wenting's biology and math homework had not been handed in.
Li Wenxi walked to Li Wenting's desk and urged her: "You haven't handed in your biology and math homework yet. The class representative is going to take the homework away."
Li Wenting, who was busy copying homework, looked up at Li Wenxi and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll hand it in later."
Hearing Li Wenting say this, Li Wenxi didn't wait for her and handed the group's homework to the class representative.
Then, Li Wenxi saw Li Wenting went to Chen Dongfang. Sure enough, the math class representative Chen Dongfang and the biology class representative said something, and then the two class representatives dragged it to the next break to hand in the homework.
So that's it.
Li Wenting didn't hand in her homework to Li Wenxi anymore. She handed it directly to the class representatives of each subject.
Li Wenxi was relieved and stopped caring about Li Wenting's homework.
The ease after school started soon disappeared.
First of all, the amount of homework assigned by teachers in each class began to increase. Li Wenting used to go to the classroom to copy homework after breakfast, and half an hour of morning reading plus a morning break was enough. Now she gets up, washes up and goes to school without eating breakfast.
I don't know where Qin Lan got the conclusion that Li Wenting will definitely go to college. Maybe Li Wenting is gifted in studying, and her grades are good without doing homework.
"Tingting, at least bring a boiled egg with you. Boiled eggs are nutritious." Qin Lan followed Li Wenting and forced a boiled egg into her mouth.
After hearing this, Li Hongbin looked at Li Wenxi who was drinking porridge across from him and put a boiled egg in front of her: "You eat too, you'll gain some weight."
However, Li Wenting and the others couldn't keep up with the pace of the homework assigned by the teacher.
The head teacher, Mr. Wang, handed them a Chinese test paper as their weekend homework: "You should be more careful. The schools in Ningcheng have been taking exams every two weeks. Tell me how you can beat them. I'm not asking you to take the exam, I'm asking you to treat the test paper as your homework. You'd better set your own time and write for an hour and a half. You're not allowed to look up books. Check your true level by yourself."
As soon as Mr. Wang left, the students began to whine: "Oh my God, we have to write an essay this weekend."
They cried too early, and when the English teacher finished the class in the afternoon, he also handed them a test paper.
I don’t know if it was discussed in advance, but when the math teacher of the last class came to class, he also brought a stack of test papers.
The students bargained: "Teacher, please give us a math test paper as homework."
"We can't finish it. We already have an English test paper and a Chinese test paper. We really can't finish it."
"Teacher, please have mercy on us."
These students dared not say a word in front of the head teacher and the English teacher, but they were not afraid of the math teacher who had just graduated. The classroom was in chaos. It seemed that if you dare to hand out the test paper, we dare not do it. Teacher
Zhao, who had just arrived at the workplace, was shy. Seeing the mess in the classroom, he couldn't control the situation at all. In the end, he had to change the math test that was due on Monday to not be submitted.

"Mom, Qingqing and I want to go to Ningcheng tomorrow." Li Wenting said this during lunch.
"Leaving the island? What are we going to do?" Qin Lan frowned: "No, it's too dangerous for you kids without an adult to accompany you."
"Oh, Mom, let's just buy some tutoring materials. You know, there are no bookstores on the island. I heard that students in Ningcheng not only do exercise books, but also practice a lot of extracurricular exercises. If we don't practice, I'm afraid we won't be able to beat them in the high school entrance examination."
"That, that's also dangerous." Qin Lan hesitated. But she seemed to be very tempted to buy tutoring materials to improve her academic performance.
"It's not just me, Qingqing, He Fang and the others, but also Chen Dongfang and a few other boys. They are tall and strong, almost like adults. And sooner or later we have to learn to be independent, Mom." Li Wenting said while shaking Qin Lan's arm.
"Okay, okay, you have to go early and come back early, and you have to come back after buying books." Qin Lan finally agreed.
"Mom, you are so kind."
"Mom, I, I want to go with my elder sister too." Li Wenhua was very moved.
"What are you going to do? You are too young, it is difficult for us to take you." Li Wenting quickly refused.
"You are not allowed to go." Qin Lan also refused.
Li Wenxi actually heard that students in Ningcheng would do a lot of extracurricular exercises. She had seen the bookstores in Ningcheng, which had so many tutoring materials. By then, those of them who only did homework and exercise books would definitely not be able to compete with those who had done a lot of tutoring materials.
But she had never thought of telling Qin Lan and the others about going to the island to buy materials. She admired Li Wenting and the others' initiative.
However, how could Li Wenting go to buy a material book specifically? She copied other people's homework, so why would she go to buy a material book specifically to practice?
Li Wenxi didn't really believe it, but it had nothing to do with her, and she didn't expect Li Wenting to buy her tutoring materials. But she could plan to go off the island to buy materials.
So unlike others who were overwhelmed by the three test papers, Li Wenxi was happy because she finally had other test questions to practice. She felt that the difficulty of the exercises in the textbook and the exercises were too low, and the number of questions was small.
She had finished the Chinese and English papers in the morning.
She was even reluctant to do the math paper and left it until the last.
She was afraid that if her classmates knew about it, they would scold Li Wenxi for being weird.
After finishing the math paper on Sunday, Li Wenxi stretched her waist. It was so cool to write the math paper. She ran to the yard downstairs and did a set of boxing. As expected, his muscles and bones were stretched.
"Xiaoxi, your martial arts are now quite good." Auntie Sun, who was carrying an iron bucket out of the yard, saw it and couldn't help but admire it.
Li Wenxi closed his fist and looked at Auntie Sun: "Auntie, are you going to the sea?"
"Yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and I'll prepare a seafood feast by then. Xiaoxi, do you want to go with me? I see your mother buys seafood herself every year, which is too wasteful."
Li Wenxi thought that his learning tasks for today were basically completed. Now it's a good time to go to the beach to relax, and I can also get an extra bucket of seafood: "Auntie, wait for me, I'll get the bucket."
I don't know if everyone is preparing for Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of people on the beach is twice as much as last time.
At this moment, the sun, like a salted duck egg, was hanging above the sea level, which was extremely beautiful.
Li Wenxi followed Aunt Sun to pick lobsters and clams.
As soon as he stepped on the sand, he sank into the fine sand, which was extremely comfortable.
"Li Wenxi?"
Li Wenxi looked up and said, "Qian Zhaodi?"
In school, Qian Zhaodi had never taken the initiative to talk to Li Wenxi.
I didn't expect that Qian Zhaodi would take the initiative to call me here.
"Are you here to catch the sea too?" Qian Zhaodi took the initiative to ask. She saw Li Wenxi's fair skin, and she didn't look like someone who would catch the sea. After covering her skin for a month or two, Li Wenxi's skin became white.
"Yes, I came here with my neighbor's aunt." Li Wenxi saw that Qian Zhaodi's bucket was almost full.
"That looks like Chen Dongfang's mother." Qian Zhaodi pointed to the grandson in front of her and whispered to Li Wenxi.
"Yes, they live next door to us."
Qian Zhaodi soon figured it out: "That's right, you and Li Wenting are sisters. By the way, have you finished your homework?"
Li Wenxi nodded: "How about you?"
"I still have half a sheet of English homework and math homework left to do. Can you lend it to me to copy? I really don't have time to write." Qian Zhaodi hesitated for a long time, blushing and whispering.
"Okay, how can I make it more convenient for you?" Li Wenxi always knew that it was Qian Zhaodi who called the head teacher for her that day, so even though Qian Zhaodi never spoke to her at school, she was willing to lend her the test paper.
"Can I wait for you at the intersection ahead?" Qian Zhaodi thought about it.
Li Wenxi naturally had no objection.
"Xiaoxi, there are a lot of crabs here, come quickly." Sun Ying, who had already walked far away, turned around and shouted at Li Wenxi.
Qian Zhaodi saw her and said hurriedly; "You go quickly, I'm leaving first." It seems that she is afraid of running into Sun Ying.
Sun Ying and Li Wenxi each carried a bucket of fresh food home.
"Go back and keep it in water. It will last until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whenever you want to eat it, just prepare some." Sun Ying told Li Wenxi when she was about to enter the house.
Qin Lan was cooking in the kitchen. When she saw Li Wenxi come in, she was a little disappointed: "It's you. I thought it was Tingting. Tingting too, it's already 6 o'clock, and she hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried."
As she was talking, Qin Lan saw the gate open and Li Wenting came in excitedly: "Mom, I'm back."
Chen Dongfang from the next yard also walked in at the same time.
"You finally came back. I was so worried. If you didn't come back, I would have asked your dad to look for you." Li Wenting came back empty-handed again: "Where are the books? Didn't you go to buy books? Why are there no books?"
"Mom, you don't know that the ten yuan you gave me was stolen when I just arrived in Ningcheng. Later, the money for eating in Ningcheng was all paid by Fangfang and the others."
Qin Lan was still frightened: "I'm glad that you are okay. I said it's not safe for you kids to go to Ningcheng. You have to be accompanied by an adult."
Li Wenxi didn't listen to what they said. He went back to his room to get his math and English homework and went to the intersection he had agreed with Qian Zhaodi.
Qian Zhaodi was lying on a stone doing her homework, with a boy on her back, who looked like her younger brother.
Li Wenxi looked a little sad. If Li Hongbin hadn't recognized her, her current situation would be the same as Qian Zhaodi's. No, maybe even worse than hers. "Qian Zhaodi," she called softly.
Qian Zhaodi quickly stood up with one hand supporting her brother.
Li Wenxi hurried over to help her, and handed her all the homework, "It's all here."
Qian Zhaodi gratefully said, "Li Wenxi, thank you for lending it to me. Otherwise, I can't finish my homework."
Li Wenxi said, "It's nothing. I know you don't have time to do it." She thought about it and finally said, "If you want to go to high school, it's better to squeeze out time to do it yourself, so that you can consolidate your knowledge." She
also knew that it was easy for her to say it. She was not in Qian Zhaodi's position, so she didn't know Qian Zhaodi's difficulties. But for Qian Zhaodi, this is probably the only chance to change her fate. If she misses it, she will miss it.
After saying this, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"I didn't mean to not talk to you at school. I wanted to, but I didn't dare." Qian Zhaodi suddenly said from behind, and her voice dropped to the end.
Li Wenxi turned around and looked at Qian Zhaodi and smiled, "I know, it's okay. Thank you for calling my homeroom teacher for me that day."
The two smiled at each other.
