On December 28, the snow melted.
Xing Haodong stood at the door and helped Jiang Mingxin tie her scarf.
"I'm going to the city anyway, so I can just take you with me. Why bother gathering at school?"
Now he goes to work at the Anti-Smuggling Bureau every day, which is only ten minutes away from the No. 3 Middle School in the city, so he can take her there on the way.
Jiang Mingxin shook his head and reached out to straighten his collar.
"Forget it. You just took office and you're driving a government car to pick me up. What if someone sees you?"
Xing Haodong was helpless, "If it happens once or twice, no one will tell anyone."
"How do you know no one will tell? Even though Zhou Kui is on the run, the only person behind him who's been apprehended so far is Wang Haihua. You're like a knife hanging over their heads. They're probably staring at you with a magnifying glass every day."
Jiang Mingxin patted his chest and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. You're standing at a different height now, so you have to be even more cautious."
Xing Haodong couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips. The tender and moist touch made him linger every time.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and be careful on the road."
"Don't worry, I'm always keeping an eye on everything and keeping my ears alert." Jiang Mingxin smiled slightly, tightened the strap of his schoolbag, and walked out the door first.
They are about to move out, and they feel a little reluctant.
Although this house is small, it is the starting point for Jiang Mingxin to start a new life.
She and Xing Haodong planned to borrow a camera and take more photos here as souvenirs before leaving.
Braving the cold north wind, she half-skated on the ice to get to school.
The English teacher, wearing a thick, long red scarf that covered her face so that only her eyes were visible, looked up and saw her and called out, "Mingxin, we don't have to take the bus to the city. Director Bai specially arranged a car for us. See? It's that black Santana!"
She waved her hands excitedly at Jiang Mingxin and pointed across the street.
Jiang Mingxin turned around and walked towards that direction.
As soon as she got in the car, she felt a warmth.
Bai Ruoxi sat upright in the passenger seat, smiling and raising the hand warmer in her hand to her.
"My second brother asked his comrades to bring this to me a few days ago. You can put briquettes in it, and it can burn for four or five hours. Are you cold? Do you want me to lend it to warm you up?"
Jiang Mingxin took off his gloves and rubbed his hands. "No, I'm quite warm."
"Your gloves look thick and have crocheted patterns on them. Did your boyfriend buy them for you in the city?" Bai Ruoxi said in a sour tone.
"No, I knitted this myself. It's a new style. When you lift the lid, all ten fingers can be separated, making it convenient for writing."
This is the sample Jiang Mingxin made for Cui Ling. The sales of down jackets in the clothing store have almost reached saturation. She thought that gloves and hats are also hot-selling items in winter, so she took the time to buy wool and knit this pair of gloves.
These split-finger gloves, with their lively colors and novel style, are sure to be a hit.
Bai Ruoxi's eyes also brightened when she saw it, but she would not admit it.
"It's not like you don't have money, why do you have to weave it yourself?"
"This is convenient, and it's not sold outside. I like it, so I knit it myself."
Jiang Mingxin was not afraid of being learned by her. Anyone who knew how to knit could figure out the knitting technique for these gloves after taking them apart once.
She only makes the initial profit, and once it becomes popular, she doesn't plan to sell it.
Bai Ruoxi's show-off was unsuccessful and she was in a bad mood all the way.
However, when she arrived at No. 3 Middle School, her demeanor immediately changed.
"Oh, isn't this Teacher Li and Director Zhou? How come you two teachers look younger and younger after not seeing you for a year? Your woolen coats look really nice."
Bai Ruoxi is sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside. She is always generous in praising those who can bring benefits to her.
In addition, she had met and knew the two teachers last year, so she was even more enthusiastic.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Teacher Li and Director Zhou warmly grabbed her hands.
"Hey, isn't this Ruoxi? Look at her fair and tender face. Girls really change a lot as they grow up. She's getting more and more beautiful."
Bai Ruoxi smiled shyly, "I don't deserve that. If we talk about beauty, Jiang Mingxin is better looking than me."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Mingxin.
"She's here with me to participate in the English competition. Please take good care of her, teachers."
Jiang Ming sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
She walked over calmly and bowed politely. "Hello, Teacher Li and Director Zhou. I'm Jiang Mingxin from Class 7, Grade 3, County No. 1 Middle School."
"Class 7?" Teacher Li's smile instantly fell. "Students from Class 7 can also participate in the English competition?"
She looked at the English teacher leading the group in confusion.
The English teacher hurriedly explained, "Class 7 of our County No. 1 Middle School is different now. In the last mock exam, everyone's English scores have improved significantly!"
Teacher Li and Director Zhou looked at each other, both a little unconvinced.
I think Jiang Mingxin is probably just here to make up the numbers.
Bai Ruoxi was afraid that continuing to talk about it would expose the fact that she had been transferred to Class 7 that afternoon, so she quickly changed the subject: "Director Zhou, is the format of our competition the same as last year?"
"There are slight changes, but overall it's still pretty much the same." Director Zhou pointed to a classroom and asked them to go in and rest. "The competition consists of two parts: a written exam and an oral exam. The written exam is from 9:30 to 11:00, and the oral exam is from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon."
"The oral exam will be in the form of a speech. The topic will be announced after the written exam. You will need to write your own speech and submit it to the teacher before noon. We will then send the speech to you when the oral exam begins in the afternoon."
