Chapter 4:
Lin Heyuan just came to give this person a warning because of his sister's affairs. He didn't expect Jiang Xiao's attitude to be unexpectedly good. He didn't know if this person was making some bad ideas again, but Jiang Xiao just took the gift back. Then he apologized earnestly, and after seeing that he didn't speak, he turned and left.
In the end, Lin Heyuan was stunned for a while, then walked back to his sister.
Lin Qingyu was a little nervous and asked him, "He won't bother me again, will he?"
"No," Lin Heyuan assured her, "he..."
He originally wanted to comment on Jiang Xiao, but he frowned and thought for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, but he had a special impression of this person in his heart.
Jiang Xiao rushed back at noon. He didn't have time in the morning, so he went back at noon to look through how many textbooks were left in the room, especially in the first and second grades of junior high.
Xia Wanwan was going to work, and lunch would be a little later. Jiang Xiao usually had to wait when she came back. The dishes for the two of them didn't need to be complicated. She would quickly cook one or two dishes when she came back, and she could eat it at 12:30.
When Jiang Xiao went back today, she hadn't come back. He opened the refrigerator and saw that there were vegetables and meat in it, so he picked it up and fried a piece of celery, beef and shredded potatoes.
He has long learned to take care of his own life, not the young man who opened his mouth to eat, and his craftsmanship is also good.
Xia Wanwan was delayed in the office for a while due to an urgent matter at noon today, and when she hurried home, Jiang Xiao was bringing the steaming food to the table.
"Just in time, let's have dinner." Jiang Xiao took off his apron and greeted him naturally.
… When did my son learn to cook?
Ms. Xia felt that today was really magical. She stood there for a while like a dream, then sat down uneasy, took a look first, and thought that the appearance was not bad, and she thought that even if it was bad, she would close it. The eyes praised it delicious, but I didn't expect a chopstick to be sent into the mouth, it was really good.
The shredded potatoes are refreshing, and the celery and beef are served with rice. In all fairness, they are better than their own.
"Nian Nian, when did you learn to cook?"
"It's not difficult, you did it once or twice when you were working overtime before," Jiang Xiao said lightly, "you'll see it a few times."
His mother was actually quite a deceiver, and he believed in him very much. He really didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at him moved and praised Jiang Xiao several times.
After eating, she happily helped Jiang Xiao to find the textbooks scattered around the house, and hummed a song while washing dishes. Then she came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Xiaoan sitting quietly in front of the desk in the room. ,reading a book.
reading a book! seriously!
Xia Wanwan didn't know how long she hadn't seen such a scene.
She didn't dare to disturb the silence, so she returned to her room lightly, sat on the bed for a while, wiped her face, and forced her tears back.
She didn't know why her son suddenly changed back to the obedient way he used to be, but for her, it was really a huge surprise.
Jiang Xiao found the textbook for the first year of junior high school. At that time, he was still serious in class, and there were notes in the book. After a little bit of reading, it was all simple knowledge points. It was really easy for him to understand at this time.
He roughly flipped through the book, and he had some foundation in his heart.
The high school entrance examination is not as standardized as the college entrance examination. There are different test methods in different places. In Houlin County, there are always ten subjects in the senior high school entrance examination during this period of time. There are three main subjects in the language, mathematics, foreign history, geophysics, chemistry, physics, politics, and physical education. 120 points, 100 points each for physical chemistry, 50 points and 70 points for the combined history and politics, 50 points each for the combined biogeography, plus 30 points for physical education, the total score is 810.
Although there are a lot of exams, it also shows that the basic knowledge in junior high school is not difficult. The physics class only starts in the second grade, and the chemistry class does not start until the third grade. The score can be greatly improved in one year.
Jiang Xiao packed up all his books at this noon, and after he had a bottom line, he made a simple study plan and posted it in front of his desk.
In the afternoon class, Jiang Xiao took out the workbook to do the questions while listening. Class 15 is a poor class, but the teachers are very serious in class, and they are more detailed. Compared with ordinary junior high school students, Jiang Xiao can understand it faster.
Life in student days is always boring, and it is difficult for young teenagers to endure this kind of hardship, but for Jiang Xiao, reading is really interesting.
No matter how hard you work, you will gain something. As long as you study hard, your score will go up. If you put knowledge in your head, it will not be taken away. It will always belong to you. This is simply the best thing in the world. The equation no longer exists. There are so many things that all efforts have come to nothing, Jiang Xiao himself should not experience too much.
Ye Yingying was already shocked in the morning. As a second-year middle school boy with a high degree of acceptance, he quickly accepted Jiang Xiao's transformation, and now he has his own career. Without air traffic control Jiang Xiao, he played cards in the morning. Tired of it, I took a job in the afternoon to paint school uniforms.
Houlin No. 3 Middle School ordered all students to wear school uniforms. This public junior high school that strictly abides by the nine-year compulsory education is fundamentally different from the Chengnan private high school where Jiang Xiao once stayed. The school spirit and discipline are generally good, and the most basic The majesty of the school rules is still there, so the poor students who are still in junior high school have some bottom lines, and at the same time they change the law to test the edge of the school rules.
The painting of school uniforms is an example. The overall uniforms of No. 3 Middle School are blue and white, and white accounts for the majority, which is very suitable for some self-creation. Students these days do not dare to get tattoos. They write and draw on the uniforms, which has a personality. Also special.
Ye Yingying's devil school uniform Jiang Xiao looked very embarrassed, but in the eyes of the students of No. 3 Middle School, it was simply the most in fashion trend of the season. It can be said to be shocking. The drawing method of the blood dripping eyes is vivid and full of breath, which is no worse than the techniques of several Internet celebrity cartoonists that Jiang Xiao has seen.
It seems that the plain-clothed knight-errant version of the school uniform he painted for Jiang Xiao before is more beautiful, but unfortunately it was bleached by Ms. Xia after the quarrel, and now the plain-clothed knight-errant who has been popular in No. 3 middle school has left a little ink mark with hatred, Not even the slightest shadow could be seen.
Ye Yingying painted Jiang Xiao's paintings for free, but others would have to pay for it. The custom version charges from a few cents to a few dollars. These days in a small county, the price is not high, and the small sausage at the school gate is only 50 cents. Gen, a bowl of hot powder for breakfast can buy a lot of things for ten yuan. Now junior high school students have limited pocket money, Ye Yingying's business is average, but he can earn more or less.
Today, he took a small job. Although Jiang Xiao was reading carefully, but the tablemate was so close to him, he could still notice some movements.
Ye Yingying did a more detailed work today. He first drew a sample on white paper, and went to show it to the client in the next class between classes. After getting approval, he began to draw on the school uniform jacket.
The school uniform jacket should be a girl in size, and she didn't dare to draw a large one on the back. It was too ostentatious. He asked him to draw a thin circle on the school uniform jacket and the cuffs. Jiang Xiao glanced at it, and the circle was actually a carved bracelet, with flowers and butterflies, and a few small characters next to it, which was quite fancy.
Jiang Xiao looked at the style of the bracelet and felt a little familiar, but he didn't care about it and went back to reading.
Who knew that after Ye Yingying finished drawing this time, after winning the affirmation of the small client in the next class, he connected several lists, all of which were drawn like this kind of bracelets, but changed the pen of different colors for some special features, but the appearance is still the same Yes, after he finished painting in the afternoon and painting in the evening, he did not skip class and go out to the game hall for two evening self-study sessions. It can be said that he is very dedicated.
The little painter Ye Yingying earned a little more than ten yuan and was happy. In fact, his family gave him a lot of pocket money, but the money he earned was different, so he spent two yuan at noon the next day. Jiang Xiao eats the fried dumplings at the school gate.
Jiang Xiao also asked casually on the way home, "Why do they all draw the same thing?"
"Brother Xiao, don't you know? This is the most popular costume drama right now. It's called World Red Dust. My mother is watching it." Those girls especially like wearing bracelets like this."
Jiang Xiao's family doesn't watch TV much, but he has a vague impression that in the economically underdeveloped central small county during this time period, TV is still the most mainstream information receiving channel.
Jiang Xiao lowered his head, his mind moved, and he thought a little more, but when he turned to look at Ye Yingying, he finished eating the fried dumplings, with a silly satisfied smile on his face. Jiang Xiao looked at him helplessly like an elder looking at a child.
Ye Yingying recently drew school uniforms in his eyes. He is really talented, a rare talent. Ye Yingying has not even undergone systematic training. He just started drawing textbooks and then drawing school uniforms. practiced.
"What, what I said before, think about it." Jiang Xiao said to him.
"what?"
"If you don't like reading, you don't have to force it, but you can study painting and art," Jiang Xiao said, "You can also go to a good university if you can paint, and you don't want to fail to study in the future. scold you?"
Ye Yingying never thought about going to college. He is still young, and he always feels that a day is just a day. What Jiang Xiao said about learning art and painting, he can imagine the kind of hat that appears in TV dramas The person who is crepe with small glasses is very far away from him anyway.
Jiang Xiao saw Ye Yingying's expression and knew that he still didn't listen.
The power of words is limited, Jiang Xiao shook his head, he seemed to think of something, and then said to Ye Yingying, "I'll give you a gift when you come back from the 11th holiday."
Ye Yingying was overjoyed when she heard the gift: "Okay! Brother Xiao still eats fried dumplings! I'm going to buy another three yuan!"
"No," Jiang Xiao said. "Eating less of the street stalls is not good for your health. We are still waiting for dinner at home."
"Brother Xiao, don't learn my dad's words again," Ye Yingying looked at him without words, "Why did you change so much when the semester started?"
Suddenly starting to study is a trivial matter, he is suddenly old-fashioned.
Jiang Xiao smiled and didn't say anything else. He watched Ye Yingying rush back to buy fried dumplings, and the spiky head looked silly, and he felt that it was good to be young.
Now, old-fashioned at heart, he's going to start planning other things.
During lunch, Xia Wanwan just turned on the TV, and Jiang Xiao found that she seemed to be watching that ancient costume drama. It seemed to be a really popular drama. The bracelet that Ye Yingying earned was the heroine. The very important props on the body have a lot of memory points.
Jiang Xiao thought about it, so he took a few more glances. After the TV drama was over, the station broadcast the weather forecast of the local city, and the iconic building of Liujiang City stayed on it for a moment.
It will rain in Liujiang tomorrow.
He was stunned for a while, then lowered his head, his expression did not change, but he thought of something. No way, he and Lin Chengyu have lived in Liujiang for too long, and it is normal to have some associations.
After the rebirth, Jiang Xiao seems to have really forgotten the person who was unforgettable in his previous life. Now, because of this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had been reborn for a while, and now he is completely familiar with the current life, and his previous life gradually became like a dream. The memory is still there, but the emotion is blurred.
Maybe it’s really different after dying once. No matter how unforgettable it is, it’s also wiped clean by disheartening. Maybe it’s because it’s too easy to start over again. Jiang Xiao’s attention is completely attracted, and naturally he has no time to take care of other things. .
This time his life trajectory is very different, he and Lin Chengyu will not have any more intersection... I hope.
However, seeing Liu Jiang this time, he has really important things to plan.
