Chapter 75: Holding Back (Update)

The first day of study ended successfully. Yuan Xiao returned home and told Grandma Yang about the schoolbag. She readily agreed.

"I'll help with it, too. My old bones are almost stiff from sitting." Grandma said with a smile.

It's not a problem for her to get out of bed and walk around now, but she can't do strenuous exercise. But she can still do it.

Wang Yazhi had originally thought about making schoolbags. When she heard that there were already more than a dozen orders, she was very happy.

"Is Miss Yuan Xiao home?" There was a knock at the door.

Yuan Xiao got up to open the door. It was Feng Yan, Gu Lanting's little follower.

"The captain asked me to give it to you."

Feng Yan touched the back of his head and laughed.

He knew that the captain was having an affair with this girl.

Behind him was a bicycle, a Phoenix brand. He

was holding a bag in his hand, which should contain a radio. Yuan

Xiao accepted the gift without hesitation, "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you stay for dinner?"

"No, no, I'll go to the hospital to see the captain later."

After Feng Yan left, Wang Yazhi looked at the bicycle and radio in front of her with a complicated look. When she learned that they were sent by Gu Lanting, she showed even more disapproval.

"It's okay to accept them this time, but don't accept other people's things randomly next time." Wang Yazhi said gently.

Chu Jiangping also agreed, "Your mother is right. If you want it, uncle will find it for you."

If he put in some effort, not to mention a bicycle, even a car can be found.

Gu Lanting, that stinky boy, had bad intentions at first glance!

He had to keep an eye on the cabbage and not let the pig take it away.

Yuan Xiao smiled and nodded, fiddling with the radio with curiosity.

In her previous life, she had no worries, but after coming here, she had never seen any electronic products, and she found a radio strange.

Seeing Yuan Xiao's interest, Chu Jiangping turned around and said, "Uncle Gu, find an electrician to come over in a few days, pull a line, and we will install an electric lamp."

In fact, there are not many families with electricity in Qushui County, and the electricity bill is expensive.

After coming here and getting used to using oil lamps, Yuan Xiao really didn't think so much, but when she heard that there was electricity, she couldn't help but yearn for it.

"Okay, okay! Uncle Gu, you can ask someone to come over and install it first, and tell my mother how much it costs."

Yuan Xiao thought to herself, it's a pity that landlines are not popular yet, otherwise her family can also install one.

Now we still communicate more through letters, and landlines are usually available at post offices or in the county.

The single dog pops up from time to time to show its presence: "So the host is not planning to upgrade to level 3?"

Yuan Xiao directly ignored its words. How much money is in hand now? After the upgrade, he will become a pauper.

"Uncle Chu, are your eyes almost healed?"

Chu Jiangping didn't expect Yuan Xiao to cue him, and was stunned for a moment, "Now things are still blurry, but I can feel it is recovering slowly."

"So fast?" Yuan Xiao walked over and waved his fingers in front of him, "Can you tell what this is from a close distance?"

Chu Jiangping laughed, "I can still see your outline from a close distance. Our Xiaoxiao is still a little beauty."

Yuan Xiao held the little face, his eyes were round and shining, "That's great! When Uncle Chu's eyes are better, he can teach Xiao Li and Xiao Yang to practice calligraphy."

Yuan Xiao had asked Zhong Li and Zhong Yang to write before, and it was really horrible.

Chu Jiangping glanced at her, "Not only the two of them, but also you."

Yuan Xiao's face fell, "I'm 18, I don't have to learn."

Chu Jiangping didn't look at her, "Don't talk about you, Xiao Qinqin also has to learn."

Qinqin, who was inexplicably cueed, looked innocent.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yuan Xiao's insect repellent sachets sold very well at the market, especially the ones with the twelve zodiac signs.

The sachets were not only spread in her class, but also many people from several other classes in the second year of high school came to buy them. If

someone likes it, naturally there will be people who are jealous, such as Lian Yicai.

"Xiaoxiao, you should be careful, Lian Yicai said she would report you." Yuan Yuan said secretly.

Yuan Xiao didn't care: "What is she reporting me for? Selling things? Don't worry about her."

Many teachers have bought this sachet.

If she reported herself, wouldn't she also offend those teachers?

Yuan Yuan didn't tell her about these unhappy things, and took out a small blue notebook, "Xiao Xiao, I have copied your notes and returned them to you. I think your notes are more useful than the knowledge points organized by the teachers. I will treat you to a meal some other day to thank you."

Yuan Xiao smiled and put the notebook away. Her information was found by Gu Lanting, and it was in Beijing, so it was naturally better.

"I will treat you to food."

After a few days of getting along, Yuan Xiao knew that Yuan Yuan's family situation was not very good. Her parents were divorced and now she lives with her mother.

Yuan Yuan's father favored boys over girls. When Yuan Yuan's mother didn't give birth to a second child, her father cheated on her and had a son with someone else.

After finishing four classes, Yuan Xiao was about to go to the canteen with Yuan Yuan, when someone came in and shouted, "Yuan Xiao, Teacher Cai wants you to go to the office."

Yuan Yuan pulled Yuan Xiao's arm and asked timidly, "Yuan Xiao, could it be Lian Yicai..."

"No problem, go eat first."

Yuan Yuan blushed, "No, I'll wait for you at the door of the teacher's office."

Yuan Xiao went to the office with her.

As expected, as soon as he entered the office, Yuan Xiao saw Lian Yicai's face full of contempt. There were several girls standing beside her, one of whom was her deskmate Liu Yan, and the others Yuan Xiao didn't know.

"Teacher Cai, I heard you called me?"

Teacher Cai's originally ugly expression eased a little, and waved at her, "These students seem to have some misunderstandings with you, so I asked you to come over to clarify."

Lian Yicai snorted coldly: "Teacher, it's not a misunderstanding. We are just expressing our own ideas. We don't want to be in the same class with Yuan Xiao. Either she leaves, or we leave."

Teacher Cai's face darkened, "Then tell me, what is the reason for doing this?"

Lian Yicai glanced at Liu Yan, and Liu Yan understood and said, "She didn't even go to the first grade of high school, and she went directly to the second grade of high school, which will affect our studies. I think the school needs to be more strict in the examination of entrance examinations. Such students will hold back our class!"

Teacher Cai sneered, "Hold back? Yuan Xiao's entrance examination score was the first in the whole grade. Even if she is holding back, it is you who are holding her back, right?"

Lian Yicai and several girls around her changed their faces, especially Lian Yicai, who looked unconvinced.

"How is it possible! She didn't even go to the first grade of high school, she must have cheated!" Lian Yicai shouted dissatisfiedly.

Teacher Cai glanced at her and said, "I was the one who supervised her entrance exam. Do you mean that I helped her cheat?"

After that, Teacher Cai stood up and said in a serious tone, "No. 3 Middle School has enrolled more than 300 students this semester, the largest number in the past ten years! I believe you have also received the news that the college entrance examination may be resumed! Instead of thinking about how to embarrass other students, you might as well think about how to improve your own grades!"
