"Wei Xing, how are your grades?"
Wei Xing looked at Min Manxing who was retreating and thought she hated his behavior, but when he noticed her red ears, he confirmed that she was just shy and his mood improved.
"Thanks to Manxing, I did very well on the test."
He seemed to have known that Min Manxing would ask, so he didn't put the report card in his schoolbag, but in his clothes bag.
Min Manxing looked at the report card he took out of his bag, a little surprised at his preparation, and subconsciously looked for it carefully.
I thought I would have to look for his name for a while, but unexpectedly Wei Xing had already marked it in red.
After getting it, she saw the bright red at a glance. Wei Xing scored third in the class and 48th in the grade.
"You did so well on the test, Wei Xing, you're amazing!"
Min Manxing looked at him with joy as she saw that his score was the highest ever.
She had witnessed that he only scored 5 points in math, but now he can get 120 points in math!
Although she knew that Wei Xing was making rapid progress, she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Is this what they call genius?
Min Manxing knew that her achievements were achieved through hard work.
She is not a genius, and often she needs to practice and memorize math formulas and English words over and over again in order to grasp the essence and remember them.
"Haha, that's also the little teacher's strength."
Seeing Min Manxing so excited, Wei Xing suddenly felt that the hard work of staying up late to read books these days was worth it.
When Min Manxing heard this name, the shyness that had originally subsided suddenly came back.
"Just call me by my name."
She corrected unnaturally.
"No, I am where I am now thanks to the little teacher. Come on, I'll treat you to some candied haws."
"Oh, no thanks, your reward..."
Before she could finish her words, Wei Xing pulled her away.
"Hey, little teacher, I'm happy today, so I'm going to treat you to a meal!"
He looked back and smiled ostentatiously, his two little canine teeth making him look even more youthful.
Even though she was wearing a lot of clothes, she looked youthful to Min Manxing.
She looked at Wei Xing, whose hair stood on end with joy, and stopped arguing.
"All right then."
Wei Xing was very tactful this semester and didn't buy things often. He would only treat people occasionally when there was something special.
Min Manxing didn't want to owe him too much, so she would usually give him her own notes or exercises as a return gift the next day.
Wei Xing: Well, it’s painful and happy.
Soon the two of them arrived at a snack street.
"Manxing, do you want strawberry? Or hawthorn? Or orange?"
"Strawberry."
This was the second time Min Manxing ate this, and a brief flash of nostalgia crossed his eyes.
When I was a child, I didn’t understand why my family was so poor. During one Chinese New Year, when I was accompanying my grandmother to sell things, I saw someone passing by pushing a cart.
She fell in love with the bright red candied haws wrapped in brown sugar at first sight.
Soon, each of them had a candied haws, and they ate them while walking home quietly.
Before they knew it, they had reached the intersection where the roads parted ways.
"Manxing, do you have any plans for this winter vacation? Do you want to go out and play?"
"No, I still have to read at home."
Min Manxing didn't know how to explain her family situation and finally shook her head silently.
"Well, it seems that I will have to be a lonely old man this winter vacation."
He sighed in mock sadness, then quickly cheered up.
"Manxing, if you have any problems, remember to come find me."
"Yeah, Wei Xing, you too."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
The two stood there awkwardly for a long time before Min Manxing spoke.
Wei Xing waved his hand and silently watched Min Manxing's gradually shrinking figure.
He stared at her back for a long time, until he could no longer see her, then he turned his head and looked away.
He actually wanted to visit Min Manxing every day, but he was worried that Min Manxing would not be happy.
Besides, the adults in her family should be back for the New Year soon, so he didn't want to disturb them too much.
Not everyone is like his family, and no one cares about his situation.
Little did he know that Min Manxing, who was leaving, had the same concerns as him.
The fifth day of winter vacation.
Min Manxing became increasingly anxious as he saw that school still had more than a month to go before it started.
Living alone without any fixed things to do is too boring and lonely.
At night, Min Manxing lay in bed, and the feeling of loneliness that no one cared about her surged into her body from all directions.
When she was almost done with her winter vacation homework, she finally realized that she couldn't stay at home all day.
The money her father sent her, plus the scholarship she received, was barely enough to cover the cost of the next semester by living frugally.
But this is just the beginning. If I want to treat Wei Xing to a meal or buy him exercises, it will be a bit difficult.
She didn't want to be as stressed out as she was this semester.
She didn't want to eat noodles and bread every day, and she found that women's products were actually more expensive in big cities.
She has too many places to spend money.
In the evening, after dinner, Min Manxing took out a draft and sat at the desk thinking about how she should make money.
She doesn't have any electronic devices and she's not yet an adult, but should she be able to find someone who washes dishes in the kitchen?
When I was in the countryside, there were many minors in small towns who had gone to school to work.
At that time, Grandma Min taught her that no matter how hard or tiring the study was, she must persevere, and if she didn't want to live like this for the rest of her life, she encouraged her to study hard.
Min Manxing came back to his senses from his wild thoughts and decided to find a job during the winter vacation.
I believe that grandma in heaven would not blame her if she knew.
She won't neglect her studies.
Min Manxing encouraged himself before going to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
After some mental preparation, she quietly opened the door and left.
When she got to the street, she realized that she had thought the problem was too simple.
The city is so big, where can she find a summer job that won't look down on her because she is a minor?
She walked along the familiar street for a long time and saw a recruitment advertisement posted on the door of a store.
But the problem is that it sells clothes.
She knew her own weight, and asking her to greet guests was simply a painful torture.
Min Manxing wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, and thinking of what Wei Xing had said before, he decided to find Wei Xing for courage.
"Oh wow~ How rare! You'd actually come looking for me?"
Wei Xing couldn't contain the joy in his eyes when he saw that Min Manxing had come to see him only five or six days later.
But he still had to confront her arrogantly.
But Min Manxing was not used to looking into people's eyes, so she didn't notice it and thought Wei Xing disliked her.
"Wei Xing, I'd like to ask for your help."
She nervously pulled at the corner of her clothes to explain why she was here.
"Okay, okay. Come in and sit down first. It's really cold outside."
Wei Xing looked at Min Manxing, who had become as reserved as before after not seeing him for a few days, and regretted that he had spoken too hastily and asked her to open the door.
Because he was worried about affecting Min Manxing, he resisted the urge to look for her.
He stayed at home and continued to make money during the winter vacation because he was bored. Occasionally, he would play games with a few good friends who were far away in Lingcheng at night.
For a moment, he forgot that his house was in such a mess. He looked at the living room full of drink bottles and takeout boxes, and he felt embarrassed and wanted to go back to the past few seconds.
"you..."
Min Manxing looked at the situation and didn't know what to say.
