During this week, some people adjusted their mindsets and relaxed, but others became even more nervous, couldn't eat, and finally fainted and were rushed to the hospital.
Xu Zhengrong paced in the neighborhood committee, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Xi was so dizzy from being turned around by him: "Uncle Xu, just speak up, why are you walking around here so early in the morning? Aren't you going to visit the pig farm?"
Xu Zhengrong simply found a seat and sat down: "I am not educated and don't understand the college entrance examination, but I also know that the closer it is to the exam, the more you need to review. Why are you suddenly giving us a holiday? You see, there are still people who are admitted to the hospital due to nervousness. Do you want to resume your studies?"
Gu Xi raised her eyes from the book she was reading and looked at Xu Zhengrong: "Combining work and rest, just like a rubber band, the tighter it is tied, the easier it is to break. The one who went to the hospital was not because I was nervous during the class, but because she collapsed from nervousness. It was a mentality problem. Moreover, with so many people taking the college entrance examination, it is a competition of survival of the fittest. Mentality is also a part of the exam, so this week, let yourself relax, slow down and sort out some of your weaknesses, and then sprint."
Xu Zhengrong still didn't understand. At this time, Xu Jiajia came over and said, "Dad, why are you here? I made an appointment with Gu Xi and the others to go shopping in town. I'll take them away if nothing else."
What else could Xu Zhengrong say? He couldn't interfere with others' shopping: "Go, go, go, go, go. Now that I'm strong enough and have Xiao Wan's support, I can rest easy. I don't have to give you money anymore. It's good for you to keep it for your retirement."
Xu Jiajia found Xu Zhengrong's awkward look funny and said, "If you want to give me money, you can give me money. The more the better. I'll bring you some delicious snacks when I come back."
Lin Ling still brought Gu Xi, Xu Jiajia brought Wan Xi, and Lu Yun brought Ye Qiu. Wan Xi was timid and dependent, and he either followed Wan Hexing or Yin Jie, and rarely went out with others. It seemed that he was getting along quite well with Xu Jiajia now.
Because of the news that the college entrance examination was resumed, bookstores and waste recycling stations were packed with people. Everything that could be bought was bought out, and the nutritional products in the supply and marketing cooperatives were also selling very well.
Gu Xi and the others were strolling on the street. Lin Ling and Gu Xi each bought a popsicle. Lu Yun immediately showed concern: "It's getting cooler now, why are you still eating something so cold? It's not good for your health."
The two people being talked about didn't care at all: "We don't have the trouble of menstrual cramps, and we don't want to have children now. We will consider this issue after we are ready to have children. Let's drink today and enjoy life today."
As the few people were talking about this, Xu Jiajia was standing at the door of a photo studio. There were three photos in the window. One was a photo of a young couple sitting together, which looked like a wedding photo. There were also individual photos of a man and a woman. The photos were particularly simple and sunny, in line with the aesthetic of this era. The man's square face was quite masculine, and the woman's two thick and long ponytails made her look pure in spirit.
Gu Xi walked over and took a look: "It's a pretty good shot, do you want to take a photo? Should we make an appointment to take a photo?"
Lu Yun also came over and felt that it was very good and had some yearning: "I want to take a picture, but Xiang Qian definitely doesn't want to take a picture."
Lin Ling was lost in thought as she looked at the photo, and seemed a little regretful. Gu Xi glanced at her, and maybe she regretted not taking a photo with Ye Xinchen.
Gu Xi bumped Lin Ling with her shoulder, and Lin Ling came back to her senses and smiled: "I am alone and don't have this worry. We can take the photo ourselves."
Gu Xi responded with a smile: "Yes, we took it ourselves, sister photos, if you want to take a group photo, take it yourself."
He took Lin Ling's arm and walked into the photo studio. It was a pretty good studio that offered rental clothes.
Before leaving today, Gu Xi emphasized that this was a gathering of sisters and that they had to dress up nicely, so everyone was dressed beautifully and Gu Xi was asked to put on some simple makeup, which was perfect for taking photos.
The boss saw that they were all pretty and smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, you girls are so pretty, you must be educated youth, right? I'm sure they will all look good in your photos. Can you give me a photo to be a model in the window? I can give you a discount."
Wan Xi felt a little unconfident when she heard this: "Ah? They can be models, but I can't. It's embarrassing to be in the window."
The boss immediately retorted: "You six are all equally beautiful, each with his or her own unique qualities."
Gu Xi also pretended to look at Wan Xi seriously, which made Wan Xi blush: "Your skin is now white and tender, like a lily bud about to bloom, it looks very beautiful, be more confident."
Xu Jiajia beside him also joined in the compliments: "Yes, be more confident, you are much better looking than your brother, he is so dark that you can't even see his face clearly. I just think you are beautiful and I think your child will definitely not be ugly in the future."
This made several people laugh. Ye Qiu couldn't help but tease: "How can you still use this as a reference? If your child is beautiful in the future, it will be the credit of you and Wan Xi. If it is not good-looking, it will be Wan Hexing's fault."
Xu Jiajia nodded: "Isn't it? He is the only one who is ugly, isn't it his responsibility?"
Several people paid, each took two photos, and took two group photos together. The boss became more and more excited as he took more photos: "Hey girls, I can guarantee that your photos will be better than the photos in the window. Consider these two group photos as a gift to you. I will print an extra one to display in the window. You can come to pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Gu Xi and the others had no objection. They had not expected any discounts when they came in to take pictures, so they all agreed readily.
A few of them went to the state-owned restaurant again and happened to see Bai Tao holding a bag in her hand. Gu Xi understood at a glance that she had collected calligraphy and paintings at the scrap station. The two looked at each other without saying hello. Bai Tao sat in the corner alone.
Ye Qiu discussed quietly: "She keeps to herself all day long and doesn't get along with anyone. She lives in a room by herself, which is full of garbage and dirty."
Gu Xi smiled but said nothing: "You think it's trash, but I think it's a treasure. Maybe it's really a treasure."
Ye Qiu wrinkled his nose and said softly, "How could I not know? Huai'an's grandfather loves to collect antiques. I learned how to look at them, but in the end, he hid some and threw some away. Huai'an is the youngest in the family, so we sent him to the countryside for fear that something might happen to him. I didn't expect that after so many years, he would have waited for me until he became an old girl."
Gu Xi didn't expect Sheng Huaian's family to be so powerful: "Then you are married into a wealthy family. A lean camel is bigger than a horse."
Ye Qiu knew she was joking: "Didn't you say that women's value is self-value and not to become anyone's appendage? I want to go to college and make money to support myself."
Gu Xi clapped her hands exaggeratedly: "If you have ambition, I love a confident and brave girl like you."
Lin Ling took a sip of soda: "I'm different. I don't want to work hard. I just wait for my family to arrange everything for me."
Lu Yun quietly listened to the jokes from the sidelines: "I originally thought that Lin Ling was a person with great ambitions, but later I found out that she is really free and easy and enjoys life while she can."
Gu Xi smiled at Lin Ling and said, "That's good. It's also a life attitude. Life is only a few decades long, so do whatever makes you happy. Retire early. I will definitely retire early in the future. I will just work hard for a few years now."
Wan Xi drank soda and looked at them with cute eyes: "You are so nice. You all know what you want. I feel like I have to listen to other people's arrangements all day long and do nothing at home all day long."
Gu Xi touched her face with amusement and said, "You are a winner in life. You were supported by your brother before the age of 20, your husband from the age of 20 to 50, and your children after the age of 50. How many people would envy you? What else can you choose? Even Lin Ling is envious of you."
