Milky Corn Steamed Bun
Song Shixia came up with an idea.
"Why don't we go to the library and study for two hours every night, from six to eight, and then study on our own after dinner."
Aunt Feng was interested but hesitant.
"You are going to take the college entrance examination this year. Thank you for asking me not to bother you."
Song Shixia didn't mind. "Auntie, you are studying high school knowledge. I am tutoring you for the purpose of consolidating my knowledge. It is not a disturbance."
"Thank you so much, the kids can play at my house while you study."
"No need, Auntie. The children will go to the library with me. They are both studious, so let them go and look at the children's books."
"Your child will definitely have a bright future. He loves studying at such a young age."
Song Shixia thought that instead of letting the two little guys play next door, they would prefer to be around her, which would be a good opportunity for them to learn in advance.
Sure enough, after she mentioned that she was going to the library to study, the two kids strongly expressed their desire to go with her.
"You have to remember that you can't talk loudly in the library. You can only whisper. But mom suggests that you don't disturb others from reading or studying. Do you understand?"
The kids answered in unison, "Okay! We will be good and obedient."
Song Shixia went to the library to free up time for study so that she could do other things with peace of mind during the day and would not fall behind in her studies. She really couldn't think of any areas where she could fill in the gaps, so she could only wait for Dean Shen and Professor Xie to assign her homework.
I have completed the homework assigned by the university teacher in advance before I was admitted to the university, so I guess I will get this treatment.
They had an appointment to go to the library, so she took advantage of her free time during the day to steam a large pot of corn buns with milk flavor. When she got home in the evening, if the children were hungry, they could just heat them up in the microwave and eat them.
The library is not far from the family area, only fifteen minutes' walk away.
But Song Shixia didn't expect that there would be an unexpected person.
Chen Jiao's face was full of embarrassment: "Song Shixia, hello."
Song Shixia greeted her.
“Do you study in the library, too?”
Chen Jiao nodded shyly, and Aunt Feng helped to explain.
"The class is too noisy, and Huo Kai is the teacher. As soon as he gets on the podium, the people in the audience start to make noises. Chen Jiao wants to study with us and won't disturb you."
She can help with Chen Jiao's homework, so Xiao Song doesn't have to be bothered.
Song Shixia didn't mind being bothered, she was just curious about when Aunt Feng and Chen Jiao became so close.
"It's okay, let's go first, otherwise we will be too late."
Aunt Feng took the cloth bag and went out, and Xiao Yuer followed her out.
"Mom, I want to go to the library to read books, too."
Xiao Yuer will be five years old in the second half of this year. He has always been a quiet person, and his desire to go made Aunt Feng a little hesitant.
"Your sister is at home watching you, what are you doing there?"
Xie Yu summoned up her courage and said, "I want to read a book."
Song Shixia smiled and said, "If he wants to go, then let's go together. I'm bringing the kids with me."
Ji Yang and Ji Yuan carried small water bottles and nothing else.
Aunt Feng had no choice but to compromise: "Don't talk when you get there, or I won't take you with me next time."
Xie Yu quickly promised not to speak loudly. Feng Lian met many acquaintances along the way and greeted them enthusiastically, but Chen Jiao didn't talk much. Song Shixia found it hard to imagine how the two of them became familiar with each other.
While checking in her backpack, Aunt Feng lowered her voice.
"Chen Jiao is always teased. It is said that night school teachers get extra pay. She heard that I was going to the library to study on my own and followed me. Don't worry, I can help her with her homework and it won't bother you."
I felt good about studying in the library for a week. I could quickly integrate into the learning atmosphere as soon as I sat down. I even went to Dean Shen’s office to pick up homework during the study.
She thought the homework consisted of a few big questions, but Dean Shen gave her more than a dozen papers and asked her to finish them and hand them back.
It seems that she can't be lazy even when Ji Weiqing is not around.
The little ones were also very well behaved. When they just started learning to read, she picked out story books for them and borrowed a dictionary. They looked up words they didn't know in the dictionary, and only asked her when they couldn't find the word in the dictionary. They both regarded looking up the word in the dictionary as a fun game, which made her very happy.
Wang Meiling looked away with mixed feelings. She hadn't seen Professor Ji for half a year and heard that his wife was preparing to take the college entrance exam. Her colleagues had urged her to express her feelings to Professor Ji, but she didn't know that Professor Ji had already married in a low-profile manner. It was only after she gave everyone wedding candies that the teachers in the school finally believed that Professor Ji was really in love.
She had first met Comrade Song, who was very pretty and was said to be a country girl. At the time, colleagues were discussing that Professor Ji and Comrade Song would not last long. The old-fashioned and boring Professor Ji married a young girl from the country who did not even have a high school diploma. The two had no common topics and ideals, and their marriage would sooner or later fall apart.
At that time, she had a fantasy that if Professor Ji really got divorced, she would still fight for it once.
But as time went by, she found that Professor Ji, who used to be cold, would occasionally joke with students. As a woman, she knew very well that Professor Ji was approachable only when he had someone in his heart, and he fell in love with his wife in the countryside.
Wang Meiling used to think that Professor Ji was far away, but now she is becoming more and more curious about Professor Ji's wife. What kind of girl is she that could change Professor Ji?
She just saw Comrade Song borrow a few books, all of which were children's reading materials. The two children looked at her with admiration in their eyes, and she smiled tenderly at the children.
The administrator inadvertently revealed that Comrade Song had brought his children and friends to the library to study for a month, studying for two hours every night without fail, and he seemed to be confident about the college entrance examination.
Wang Meiling felt bitter inside. No one would dislike a beautiful, motivated and kind girl. She accepted the defeat with a sincere heart.
There are still two months before the college entrance examination, and Dean Shen has assigned her fewer test papers. The question types are always the same. He should want her to strengthen her knowledge. After all, the college entrance examination scores are generally not excessive, and no matter how difficult the questions are, they are all knowledge from the textbooks. It's just a series of traps.
Song Shixia returned to school to take part in the first mock exam. It was said that several schools joined together to take the same set of exams and rank them.
She went straight to the examination room when she arrived at school. She didn't meet those lazy students. According to their grades, they were almost all in the last examination room. However, she was slightly surprised to find that her former deskmate was in the same examination room as her.
After leaving the examination room, she felt that the questions were not difficult and were much simpler than those posed by Dean Shen. After all, Dean Shen was old and his questions were all full of traps. He was the teacher that candidates feared the most.
"Song Shixia! Wait for me."
My former deskmate caught up with me, holding her knees with both hands and panting,
"I've always wanted to thank you in person, but I didn't know your home address. Finally, I've found you."
"Why should you thank me? Your grades have improved rapidly and you are already in the top 50 in your grade."
Liu Zhaodi shook her head: "No, I was just lucky last semester. The wrong questions you sorted out for me were exactly the same as the big questions on the final exam. I just applied the formula and got a math score above 90 for the first time. Thank you so much."
"This is the result of your own hard work. It has nothing to do with me. You should keep working hard. I helped you correct the mistakes so that I could find out what I missed. You don't have to thank me specially."
Liu Zhaodi was obsessed with the idea that it was Song Shixia who helped her, and Song Shixia, who was flattered by the praise, took on the task of helping her correct her wrong answers.
"It may take a week or two before I can give it to you."
Liu Zhaodi's head was shaking like a rattle: "I'm very grateful that you are willing to help me. I'm not in a hurry! By the way, Bai, a classmate in our class, asked me if I had inquired about you. I said I didn't know you well and didn't tell him anything."
Song Shixia's expression remained unchanged. "I don't know him well, so don't worry about him. If you want to find me, go find our class teacher. Teacher Meng knows my home address."
Zheng Shengli didn't expect that he could hear the voice of the transfer student when he went to the toilet, and also heard an important message. Bai Qiurui had never given up on Song Shixia. He finally knew that she had a connection with Teacher Meng. The father of Teacher Meng's husband had a similar position to his father. It seemed that he had to start with Teacher Meng.
The four gangsters lay on the balcony and watched the transfer students leave the campus.
Zheng Shengli was puzzled: "Brother Bai, why do you like her so much? I can't see anything good about her except her face."
Bai Qiurui couldn't explain this feeling either. He tried to date several girls from technical secondary schools, but he had no interest in them at all. Instead, he found them annoying and noisy. The transfer student didn't like him, but he could never forget the day when she wore a white coat and talked and laughed with others. The indescribable feeling in his heart, from then on, there was no room for anyone else.
Li Jianan fell in love at first sight with the transfer student. He could understand Brother Bai's feelings, but he didn't dare to say it because she was the one Brother Bai liked.
He spread his hands and said, "Maybe Brother Bai likes this type. No matter how many girls there are in the technical secondary school, you won't find another one with the temperament of the transfer student."
Zheng Shengli couldn't understand why one should only love one flower when there are many better flowers in the world.
Song Shixia did not go home immediately after the exam. She made an appointment to meet Sister Yao Xue a few days ago, so they went to have dinner today after the exam.
Sister Yao Xue chose a hotel for foreign guests that specifically receives foreign guests. Locals are not allowed to enter unless they wear a suit and look like a business person.
As soon as Song Shixia sat down, Yao Xue ordered a cup of coffee for her.
"Girl, I love you so much."
Song Shixia almost spit out the coffee he had just taken a sip of.
People in this era are very reserved. They express their affection and love in a subtle way and won't say love directly. She hasn't heard such a passionate expression of love for a long time.
She pretended to be calm, "What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
She is very straightforward and hopes her sister-in-law will be more normal so that her brother won't hear it.
"My old man loves the medicinal wine and tea you prepared for me during the New Year. He wants to buy some more from you now. Can you be more generous?"
Song Shixia was just worrying about how to tell her mother-in-law about selling medicinal wine, and then business came.
"Sure, how much?"
Yao Xue looked embarrassed: "Maybe it's a bit too much. You know my old man is doing business, and all his partners want to buy. He likes to show off, and as a result, his own stock was emptied. He called me long distance and cried bitterly."
Her description was rather exaggerated, and Song Shixia thought about it for a few seconds before giving up immediately.
"It's not that exaggerated. It sounds terrible."
Yao Xue was helpless: "He just loves to cry, I'm used to it. If you have extra, just give more, the price will definitely satisfy you, those people have plenty of money, I will protect you and won't let you suffer any loss, if the quantity is small, let him handle it himself."
Song Shixia's face was about to burst into a smile.
"What's the point of talking about money? That's too formal. I actually made a lot of it after the Chinese New Year, using the best herbs on the market. I guarantee the effect is as good as that made with Maotai liquor."
Everyone is talking about the formatting problem. I plan to re-format the entire text and add one more paragraph. I'm telling you all in advance.
