Guo Yingzhen stared at Xu Jing with scrutiny in her eyes.

Xu Jing met her gaze with a calm face, "Biao Aunt, I skipped a grade because I want to study in Nanchen No. [-] Middle School."

"You are still so young, when you go to Nanchen No. [-] Middle School, who will take care of you?"

"Auntie, I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself." Xu Jing looked firm, "If I skip a grade and go to the sixth grade, I will be 12 years old when I enter junior high school. I am not young. Many classmates should be about my age."

Guo Yingzhen got to know him better recently, seeing that he was unmoved, she couldn't help but ask, "What do your parents think about this matter? Have you considered their opinions?"

Xu Jing met her with quiet eyes, "Cousin, don't worry, my parents won't have any objections, at worst, I will go back to the Integrated Service Center of the Middle and Upper Yangtze River during the winter vacation and tell them in person."

Guo Yingzhen looked at him for a while, seeing that he had no intention of compromising, she waved her hand to signal him to go back to sleep first.

Xu Jing returned to the room, but his mind was still on Guo Yingzhen's side. He turned on the watch and set the alert mode against Guo Yingzhen. As long as she mentioned words related to him, he would receive reminders.

Xu Jing has been a little sleep deprived recently, he didn't wait after returning to the room, but adjusted the reminder ringtone, and fell asleep with Qi Yunzhi.

After more than half an hour, Xu Jing was awakened by the ringing of the bell. He sat up and rubbed his head, got out of bed lightly, opened the door and walked to the window of Guo Yingzhen and Liang Guotao's room, squatting aside and listening quietly.

"...I see that Xiaohe has grown up, and he is becoming more and more rebellious. He won't listen to what I say."

Accompanied by Guo Yingzhen's sigh, Liang Guotao said: "Let him go, his parents don't care, how much can we as relatives control?"

"I don't want to meddle in other people's business. The problem is that Xiaohe is gone. What about the family's income? You count with your fingers. Without their family's income, how difficult our life will be." Guo Yingzhen sighed, " Nanchen No. [-] Middle School is different from Renyuan Primary School, they are boarding schools, if Xiaohe goes to school there, there is no reason for his family to send money to our house.”

Liang Guotao was silent for a while, "It can't be helped. Before he didn't send it, the family lived in the same way. At least some money was saved at home, and it passed after a year or two."

Guo Yingzhen was especially reconciled when she heard this, "So let Xiaohe go? A little idiot from his family was sent here. We not only helped his family to raise him well, but also raised him until he could be admitted to Nanchen No. [-] Middle School. His family had to express his support no matter what." Second?"

"Tell this to your cousin, don't say it in front of Xiaohe. I think he looks like a rebellious period is coming. For children of this age, it is useless to say that he is not sure. Last one."

"Oh, I'm so worried." Guo Yingzhen looked at the ceiling and asked Liang Guotao in a low voice, "You said that Xiaohe has lived in our house for so many years, what is his family thinking? I don't know if there is still a mother-son relationship? "

"It's a little bit, my own, and now I have no problem with my brain. How could his family say no? Don't think too much. In the final analysis, it's other people's business. It's not reliable to rely on money from Xiaohe's family, even this time Yes, not necessarily next time, we still have to be prepared."

After hearing this, Guo Yingzhen tossed and turned for half the night without falling asleep.

Xu Jing didn't mention him after hearing this, so he didn't continue to squat under the corner.Hearing what Liang Guotao and his wife said, Xu Jing knew a little more about his family in this life, and he had to adjust his plan for going home for the New Year.

Hearing Xu Jing said that he was going to the comprehensive service center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to find his parents, Guo Yingzhen had a look of surprise in his eyes, "Are you going alone?"

"It's okay, Aunt Biao. I can read and write. I'm not afraid to go alone."

"Nonsense, such a far place, you are a child, how can we rest assured?" Guo Yingzhen's face sank, "Study and life are not the same thing, your test scores are high, but going out is not necessarily as simple as your test , if you accidentally get lost somewhere, where can I find you to compensate your parents?"

Xu Jing said: "Or should I just buy a nearby train ticket to the comprehensive service center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River? Get off here, and then get off at the end. There is no need to change trains. I can't make a mistake with such a short journey."

Guo Yingzhen still disagreed, "It's not cheap to take the train. Where did the family get the money? You just spend the New Year with us here, and when your parents finish their work, they will come to pick you up. Don't think too much about it as a child."

"I haven't seen them for many years, I miss them." Xu Jing hung his head, "I remember everything before, they never came to see me."

Guo Yingzhen felt that this cheap nephew was a bit pitiful, but no matter how pitiful she was, it was not as important as her pocketbook.

She waved her hand and said impatiently, "If I say no, I won't. Hurry up and finish your meal and chop wood."

Faced with such a tough attitude, Xu Jing had no choice but to take the next best thing. The next night, he specially left a message on the table, carried a small bag on his back, took relevant documents, and quietly went into the mountain with Qi Yunzhi.

There are acquaintances of Guo Yingzhen in several nearby living areas, Xu Jing deliberately took a detour to avoid certain familiar faces, so as not to spread rumors to Guo Yingzhen's ears.

Xu Jing's leg strength was okay, but if he was really tired from walking, Qi Yunzhi could still hug him for a while, and Xu Jing felt okay after walking for half a day.

They ate something near Renyuan's living area, and walked along the mountain road. The next day was almost dawn, and Xu Jing and Qi Yunzhi finally arrived at the train station of Nanchen Comprehensive Service Center, where they were going to transfer back to the Yangtze River. Midstream and upstream integrated service center.

Xu Jing still has 380 yuan on hand, and 43 yuan for the hard-seat train ticket from Nanchen Living Area to the Comprehensive Service Center of the Middle and Upper Yangtze River. Xu Jing is less than 1.4 meters tall and less than twelve years old. The conductor glanced at him and asked: "only you?"

"Well, I'm going to visit relatives at the Comprehensive Service Center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River." Xu Jing seemed a little nervous when he said this, and the conductor glanced at him again.

Xu Jing took out 18 yuan from the money bag in his hand, stood on tiptoe and passed it through the window, and took back [-] cents and a blue ticket.

There are two trains passing through Nanchen Living Area to the Comprehensive Service Center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River every day, one at [-]:[-] am and the other at [-]:[-] pm.Xu Jing glanced at the ticket, reached out and gently touched Qi Yunzhi's hand, signaling him to come with him.

After leaving the station, Xu Jing felt the warm sunshine outside, and couldn't help but turned around and smiled at Qi Yunzhi.

For the first time after he woke up in this world for so long, he felt the taste of freedom.

Taking Qi Yunzhi to walk forward slowly, the two visited this small southwest town along the road.The commerce here is fairly developed. There are shops along the street, and there are all kinds of shops.

Xu Jing and Qi Yunzhi walked for nearly half a street. The shopkeepers they saw neither shouted nor wrote price reduction signs. Most of the new or old shopkeepers just guarded the shop, listening to the radio and sending Stay, the pace of life is leisurely and slow.

Such a small city has the most powerful middle school in a hundred miles, a large middle school with both middle and high schools.

Xu Jing walked around with Qi Yunzhi for half a circle, and dragged him to find a relatively clean and bright hotel. After seeing the environment, he paid to book a room. He only booked for six hours and planned to take a good rest before boarding the train.

The proprietress personally registered him at the front desk. Seeing that he was young, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is your adult?"

"At home, I'm going to study here next year, let's take a look first."

"Hey, look at your ID card. Are you from the comprehensive service center in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River? People from big cities also come to study in our corner?" The proprietress widened her eyes in surprise, "You are alone, so you can rest assured at home?"

"Don't worry, there is a dormitory to live in anyway."

"Which school do you want to go to?"

"South Chen Yizhong."

"Good ambition, we have several middle schools here, the best is Nanchen No. [-] Middle School." The proprietress smiled and gave Xu Jing a thumbs up, "However, the accommodation in Nanchen No. [-] Middle School is not so easy to live in. Are you a junior high school student?"

Xu Jing nodded.

"Hey, I'll just say yes! In the junior high school of Nanchen No. [-] Middle School, only junior high school students can live in it. It's not easy for you, a junior high school student, to live in it. There are not many places in it, and you have to reserve it for senior high school students and junior high school graduates. students in the class."

When Xu Jing heard the news for the first time, he asked the proprietress, "Are you familiar with Nanchen No. [-] Middle School?"

"That's right. My son is in Nanchen No. [-] Middle School. He is in the third year of junior high school this year. If he works hard, he might be admitted to the high school of Nanchen No. [-] Middle School next year."

"Nanchen No. [-] Middle School is as big as a school, and most of the students are locals?"

"Not necessarily, at least half of them are foreigners."

Xu Jing blinked, "If they are all foreigners, where do these students live?"

"What's so difficult about this? The children have passed the exam in Nanchen No. [-] Middle School, and those from other places can't rent a room to study here?" The proprietress kindly reminded: "There are not many houses in our Nanchen living area. Come here early to rent a house, or you won’t be able to rent a cheap and easy-to-live house when school starts.”

Xu Jing thanked the proprietress earnestly, remembered, and hurriedly asked: "Auntie, is there anything delicious nearby, we've been hungry all morning."

"Didn't have breakfast?" The proprietress looked at the time, "It's almost time for lunch, if you want to eat, go straight to the one on the corner of this road, there is a small restaurant there, the cheat sheet is not bad, our restaurant Customers often go there to eat and drink.”

Xu Jing thanked him again, and took Qi Yunzhi out, intending to pack some food and come back to eat.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Hurry up and tell me you're my guest, and ask him to give you a [-]% discount. You don't have a pocket, do you? I'll keep this key first, and you can come here to get it from me when you come back, so as not to lose it. "

Xu Jing nodded and led Qi Yunzhi out.

The small restaurant recommended by the proprietress should be of a good standard. As soon as Xu Jing got closer, he smelled a long-lost fragrance.

"Kid, where is your family? Wait for them to come over for dinner together?"

"My brother is in Aunt Mei's hotel, and he asked me to come out to buy food."

The chef smiled, "Your brother still makes you work? Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"Uncle, what is your signboard?"

"Double pepper shredded chicken, stir-fried yellow beef, which one do you want?"

"Which is the double pepper?" Xu Jing stood on tiptoe, looking at the side dishes in his glass cabinet and asked.

"Red pepper and pickled pepper, can you eat spicy food? Don't worry, you can't go wrong."

Xu Jing nodded vigorously, "Just one shredded chicken with double pepper, and three boxes of lunch, pack it up."

"Okay, wait a minute." The chef smiled, lifted the iron spoon, scooped out a bowl of marinated chicken, and put a basket of ingredients in a basket.
