"Aren't we friends?" Qiao Mo looked at her with amusement: Although they seldom dealt with the Tang family before, after getting to know them over this period of time, they found that they were indeed different from the Li family: not so cruel, nor so cunning, and they could still get along as ordinary friends.
"Momo, do you really consider me your friend?" Tang Xiaoning's eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to help you review." Chen Ran nodded seriously.
"Yes, Sister Ran is right. We are all focused on preparing for the exam. If you didn't treat us as friends, why would you waste your time explaining the questions to us?" Tang Xiaoning nodded heavily.
"Good friends should help each other, Xiaoning, don't you think so?" Chen Ran put his arm around Tang Xiaoning's neck and walked away.
"Well, if Sister Ran needs anything, as long as Xiaoning can be a good helper, I will do my best." Tang Xiaoning nodded repeatedly.
"Xiao Ning, we really want to ask you for help. Of course, if you feel embarrassed, forget it." Chen Ran hesitated to speak.
"What? As long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will definitely help." Tang Xiaoning said affirmatively.
"Xiao Ning, you know we haven't been home for two days. We will definitely go back after today. But because we have to take the college entrance examination, we have almost used up the bonus we got from the team. And we don't want to go back empty-handed, so we want to go to the mountains to dig some winter bamboo shoots to bring back."
"We are novices, and we certainly can't dig much in the limited time we have left. So, Xiaoning, could you please say a few words to Secretary Tang and ask him to approve a few days of leave for us so that we can go to the mountains to dig more winter bamboo shoots and bring them back. It's a token of our appreciation." Chen Ran looked at Tang Xiaoning pitifully.
"Are you all going into the mountains?" Tang Xiaoning asked in surprise. She knew their finances were tight, so it was understandable that they wanted to bring some local specialties back, but she had never expected them to go into the mountains together.
"If possible, we all want to go into the mountains." Chen Ran nodded.
"There are too many people, my dad may not agree, but I will do my best." In order to prepare for the exam, they haven't worked for a long time. After the exam, they have to ask for leave together. Tang Xiaoning is not sure that her father will agree.
"If that's not possible, we can take turns asking for leave." Chen Ran wouldn't make things difficult for her.
"Hey, I'll tell my dad when we get back." Tang Xiaoning nodded. As long as they didn't all have to take leave, she could ask her dad to make reasonable arrangements.
"Thank you, Xiaoning. I'll leave this to you. It's cold outside. Let's go sit inside for a while." Chen Ran pulled Tang Xiaoning into the small kitchen of Qiao Mo and the others.
Because everyone had been reviewing together recently, the small kitchen had become a base for the five of them, and Chen Ran and the others had already been able to come and go freely.
At this time, Qiao Mo and his friends had already entertained Tang Xiaojun, Wu Dashi, and Wu Dawei. Seeing them come in, they poured them some hot water and said, "Drink some hot water to warm your body."
"I'm so sorry that I didn't go up the mountain to collect products today. We have nothing at home, so we can only offer you some boiled water." Chen Ran was also embarrassed to say that the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced on the eve of the autumn festival. They wanted to hold their books 24 hours a day and had no time to collect products.
"You are so polite. It's good enough to have boiled water to drink." Tang Xiaojun said with a smile.
