After eating, we went shopping for a while and took our student ID cards to buy bus tickets.
Zhang Xingrong didn't separate from the others until the afternoon. She simply went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some meat, and sold two fish before returning home. She put the fish in her space and cut up the pork for later use. She then went to the back of the house to gather chili peppers and garlic sprouts, planning to stir-fry a small portion of pork and another with garlic sprouts. She then made a dish of blanched choy sum, drizzled with soy sauce and hot oil, which was incredibly fragrant. Finally, she stir-fried sweet potato sprouts with pickled bamboo shoots and chili peppers.
Sweet potato leaves paired with pickled bamboo shoots and chili peppers are sour and spicy, very appetizing and refreshing.
Lu Ran's appetite is different from hers. Lu Ran eats a lot, so it's always a good idea to cook more.
Lu Ran came back on time in the evening.
He smiled and said, "You made the meal, it smells so good!"
Zhang Xingrong nodded and said, "Hurry up and eat. Zhou Jie will come to make up lessons soon."
"She's coming again?" Lu Ran was very unhappy. He had planned to cultivate his relationship with Zhang Xingrong tonight, but now there was another eyesore. When would this eyesore stop coming to his house?
Zhang Xingrong glanced at him and said, "The last two days are the last make-up classes. The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow."
Lu Ran's eyes lit up: "Then make sure she does well in the exam. If she doesn't do well in the exam, have Uncle Zhou Da send her to the military camp for proper training!"
Can a timid and weak girl like Zhou Jie go to the military camp for training? Uncle Zhou Da and the others would not agree!
Zhang Xingrong didn't say anything, but Lu Ran was in a very good mood. He ate bowl after bowl of rice and kept picking up meat for Zhang Xingrong. He knew that Zhang Xingrong liked to eat lean meat with a little fat, so he picked it out specifically for her.
"Actually, it's better to eat some fat to grow taller. You're a little thin." Lu Ran said, looking at her with fiery eyes.
Zhang Xingrong glared at him angrily: "I just like being thin like this, what's wrong?"
Really, he can't even eat in peace.
Lu Ran nodded immediately: "They are all beautiful, I like them all."
After eating a bowl of rice and a lot of dishes, she was basically full. Zhou Jie came at the right time, so she left the task of cleaning up the dishes to Lu Ran and took Zhou Jie to the study for tutoring.
But Zhou Jie was nervous and scared, and seemed a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong? This is not like you usually, you seem absent-minded." Zhang Xingrong asked her puzzledly.
Zhou Jie then said, "Sister Rongya, I have an exam the day after tomorrow and I'm scared."
She hadn't been that scared when she registered before, but now the closer she got to the exam room, the more scared she became.
Zhang Xingrong understands this test-taking syndrome: "Do you have to do well on the test? If you don't, will you die tomorrow?"
"No!" Zhou Jie shook her head. It didn't matter if she didn't do well in the exam. Her parents would say a few words, but they wouldn't blame her too much.
"Oh," Zhang Xingrong nodded. "If you don't do well on the test this time, will you never have another chance? You won't be taking the test tomorrow? You won't be able to take the test later?"
Zhou Jie thought about it and felt that it made sense. If it didn't work this time, she could try again next time. "You're right. Why should I be nervous?"
"So, it's not a matter of life and death, why are you so nervous?" Zhang Xingrong said.
The more Zhou Jie listened, the more she thought it made sense. "Well, when I heard my mom say that, I always felt like the world was going to collapse if I didn't do well on the exam, so the more I thought about it, the more nervous I became. But you're right, it's not like I won't have a chance next year!"
