I'm just sorry for plagiarism

The few people behind did the same, there were men and women, most of them were in their forties, obviously they were residents living nearby, taking advantage of the last time of the year to bring their children Come out to burn incense.

I heard that as long as you come to pay respects before the year before, the fortune of the whole family will be smooth in the new year. I don't know if it is true.

Anyway, the eldest lady didn't believe it at that time.

But seeing the serious expression on my mother's face now, it's not easy for her to say something that spoils the scenery.

When the visit was over, a group of people stayed behind.

This is also agreed, if you want to finish the meal here, after all the money has been paid, and the person will not be there, it will make the young lady feel a loss.

Standing next to him was a staff member in a yellow suit. He looked very friendly. She was a 70-year-old grandmother. She smiled kindly when she saw the eldest lady and her party, and led them into the backcourt.

It is said that I paid the money, but I didn’t follow too many people. 40 yuan per person, although it seemed a little expensive for a meal in those days, it was still within the acceptable range.

It was a somewhat spacious square, open-air, surrounded by tables and tables of banquets, most of which were vegetarian dishes, but they were full of color, fragrance and taste, and looked very appetizing.

Perhaps it was because of the late arrival, the round tables on the side were already bustling with parents and children, and when they saw the eldest lady and the others coming, they couldn't help complaining.

It is reasonable to say that the table can only be opened when there are all people. This is also a rule.

Thinking about coming to Yecheng, there are indeed many rules, cumbersome and complicated, and it sounds like an unstoppable headache.

I heard from the elders that at this time in the past, parents and children could not eat at the same table, so the layout here is basically divided into two polarized forms. The people sitting in the south are all adults, but the circle in the north is full of children. .

Before Lao Xia had time to do it, he smiled and bowed his hands towards the surrounding circle, said a happy new year, and then the bottom row responded cheerfully.

The atmosphere seems to be quite harmonious.

It's not embarrassing for the eldest lady.

I said hello, but no one agreed. Occasionally, when a few boys looked at her, their expressions were more or less surprised, and I couldn't tell who the little girl standing in front of me was. "Who are you?" ?do we know each other."

The eldest lady touched her nose.Well, I didn't think there was anything at first, but now seeing the pig-headed brothers' reactions from these boys, she suddenly remembered it.The effect of my outfit is really huge.

"It's Lixia from Class Six." A slightly shrill voice reminded me, but there was more or less arrogance in that tone, "You don't know me? Last semester, I was dragged to the chair by the dean. Taiwan criticized...the one who said he was going to repeat a grade."

Having said that, this group of boys remembered the disgraced kid in their memory.After saying oh, they stopped looking at Li Xia directly, and they didn't even say hello, they just chatted on their own at other tables.

The eldest lady couldn't help shaking her head. In her memory, she did have the experience of being isolated, and it lasted for a long time.

During the period from elementary school to junior high school, more and more students began to look at other students in the class with colored glasses, and they would gather together with good academic performance to form a proud-looking group. If you are in a small circle and your academic performance is not very good, you will easily be looked down upon by others.

But before the eldest lady was reborn, she was the latter.

Well, it's only natural to be treated like this.

Anyway, her previous grades were really ugly.I'm afraid the only ones who can play well with her are Zhu Liwen and Xin'er.

The banquet began soon, but the eldest lady looked around, but she didn't find the shadow of Zhou Yuze, and she couldn't stand it. It was a little strange.

The adults eat with gusto, but the children don't have much appetite.

There is no way to do this, where are the small dishes of vegetables piled up, although they are cooked with all kinds of spices, but for children of this age, big fish and big meat are more likely to attract their attention.

Before I could move my chopsticks, I heard a few junior high school students at the next table chatting. The content of the conversation was almost the latest final exam.

"How did you do in the exam this time? I think the Chinese question is a bit difficult."

"I'm not very good at writing either. I feel pretty bad for this exam." The little girl with a sharp voice was the answer, named Liu Ting, with some freckles on her face, she didn't look very good-looking. "I guess I will be criticized by my father again when I go home."

"I heard that Zhou Yuze went to get the report card, and I will report the score later, in front of your father." A little boy on the side joked, "And this time the school statistics came out early, maybe it will be later Everyone can know their ranking."

"Zhou Yuze, you mean that schoolboy Zhou Yuze?" Liu Ting was a little depressed when she heard that she got a good score, but then her eyes lit up again, "Xie Xuan, he can even get a report card? It's so amazing. "

"I heard that his father and the principal know each other." The boy named Xie Xuan replied with a smile, and when he talked about Zhou Yuze this week, he still looked proud, "He told me."

"He's really capable." A group of little girls were a little envious.

The eldest lady listened with a smile on her face, but didn't talk to her. It seems that Yuze really didn't lie to her this week. Her family is from the Education Bureau, so she does have some background.

Chapter 38, Chapter 37

On the other hand, Yu Yatou pinched the eldest lady's ears in frustration, "Li Xia, you are still laughing, how is the exam going, you have to work hard, next year is the high school entrance exam, please work hard."

and so on.

A bunch of chatter.

Although the tone is somewhat complaining, there are bursts of concern spreading from the vocabulary.

"I will, Xin'er." The eldest lady touched her little head with some relief, "I assure you, I will definitely do very well in the high school entrance examination."

Zhu Liwen was a little confused when she heard it, she opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

She does know something, but the atmosphere is a bit strange now, and she is a little afraid to say it.

On the contrary, the parents next door became lively, and when they talked about grades, they naturally talked about the choices after the senior high school entrance examination.

"Our family Huang'er's test scores are good this time. She is in the top [-] in her grade. The teacher said that there is no problem with such scores in the third middle school in the city." When the mother talked about her son, her face was full of pride Can't hide it.

The No. [-] Middle School in Shikouli is also a relatively good high school. Although the undergraduate rate is lower than that of Mingde, the threshold is relatively lower.

In Yecheng, the only high schools that can be ranked are Mingde, No. [-] Middle School, and No. [-] Middle School.Among them, Mingde's score line is the highest, followed by No. [-] High School, and even the relatively low No. [-] High School cannot be admitted by ordinary people.

So many students are proud to attend these three high schools.

"Mama Huang knows the teacher in charge. I heard that the grades were published very quickly this time. She asked her to know in advance." Zhu Liwen glanced aside and explained in a low voice.

The eldest lady nodded and said nothing, but the group of parents seemed a little envious.

As a strong player in the 88 Middle School, the top [-] results in the age are absolutely proud no matter which brother school they are placed in.

"Our child is not doing well. This time, he said that he didn't do very well in the exam. It is estimated that there are only two hundred or so at most." Another mother sighed, "But the third middle school should work hard and there should be some I hope, if it doesn’t work, just talk to Principal Xu and pay some sponsorship fees.”

The surrounding parents were filled with emotion again.

This sponsorship fee is not something anyone can pay. Generally speaking, the family has no influence. Even if the child is not far from the score line, it is difficult to get in and study, let alone in that era. , The sponsorship fee that can almost empty out half of the family.

I heard that Mother Lu's family is quite wealthy, and she has planned the future of her children early on. Maybe this sum of money is still fully prepared before school starts.

"But let me tell you, Lao Xia, how is your daughter's place? Have you found your next home?" A group of people talked at the dinner table for a long time, going around, but they turned their attention to Father Xia who was hiding around the corner. Mom.

Their children are indeed the worst in grades among this group of people. They are at the bottom of the crane, and they are [-] years younger. They were even issued an ultimatum by the Moral Education Department when the school just started this year, saying that if their grades do not improve, they will repeat the grade. .

I don't know what that girl is like now?

"How did your family Lixia do in the exam this time?"

"That's it?" The old man thought about it seriously, and then touched his head. He didn't care much about his daughter's studies. It's not that he was irresponsible. It's just that she looked like a monster. If he wants to control it, it won't have much effect?And I heard that the test results this time are also good, and the top [-] years old is considered so-so.

"I heard it's a bit of progress? But of course it's incomparable with the children of the old Xu's family."

Old Xu, Xu Zeyang, his son is excellent. It is said that he is always in the top ten of his age. Every time he attends the parents' meeting, he really shows his parents' face, and his family is not very rich. Those who came out of the community can be said to have known their deeds in a radius of ten miles.

"Look at what you said, Lao Xia, does Lixia of your family still want to compare with the children of the old Xu's family?" But I didn't expect this to be a relatively modest sentence, but a slightly shrill voice beside me remembered, When he spoke, his expression was full of disdain, "He's in the top ten of his grade, your Lixia...isn't it easy to say? Your analogy is too inappropriate, isn't it? Old Xia."

A burst of laughter followed.

This group of parents is relatively familiar with each other, and they are more free to joke around. In addition, what Lao Xia said just now is indeed a bit too funny.

Compare the bottom of the age crane with the front of the age?This idea is really wild.

Father Xia laughed along with him.

In fact, he was also a little upset, but we are all neighbors in the neighborhood, and we can't see each other when we look up, and if we break up at this time, then life in the future will be meaningless.

"I said what are you talking about." However, my mother didn't have such a good temper, and she wanted to make a sound as soon as she raised her eyebrows, but was stopped by her father with a calm expression.

"I said you don't need that, right? They are all celebrating the New Year, from the folks in the village, don't be like this." The old man stared and calmed the empress dowager in a low voice.

Only then did my lord mother go back to do it again in a fit of rage, holding her food there with a sullen head, ignoring others, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

"Old Xia, look at the two of you like this, can't it be that you haven't found a good next home?" On the contrary, the mother Huang looked at Father Xia in the corner, and couldn't help being horrified, "Then you have to hurry up, you guys With Jia Lixia's grades, it's really difficult to get into high school, so if you don't contact me now, be careful that you don't learn by then."

Father Xia smiled and raised his glass without refuting, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

During the conversation, the door curtain on the left was slightly pushed open.

"I'm sorry I'm late, have the uncles and aunts already opened the table?" It was Zhou Yuze who spoke.

As soon as they saw this handsome school girl, the eyes of a group of little girls lit up.

"Zhou Yuze, look, look, it's Zhou Yuze."

"That's Zhou Yuze from class three?"

"It's him, it's him! He's really handsome playing basketball!"

Such remarks were deliberately lowered under the table and discussed in a low voice.

"Look at what you look like." The row of boys on the left was a little jealous, and a little disdainful in their hearts.

What's so good about Zhou Yuze?I can play basketball too!

But I have to admit that Zhou Yuze at this time is indeed extremely handsome.

This guy seems a little more handsome than usual.

She was dressed in neat new clothes, a hairstyle that seemed to have been deliberately dressed up, and that pair of heroic sword eyebrows, three-dimensional eyebrows, with sharp edges and corners.

Basically, this outfit is the most lethal weapon for girls of this age.

"Happy New Year, uncles and aunts. I would like to send my greetings to you on behalf of my father Zhou Enhui." This week Yuze was polite. Uncles and aunts, happy new year, more than every year."

indeed have this qualification.

His father, Zhou Enhui, works in education. These children want to be admitted to high school in the future. When some grades fail to reach the line, they may have to seek help from others.

The faces of a group of adults were full of smiles, and there was a faint hint of flattery, "This kid is really polite."

Zhou Yuze nodded, didn't say much, just sat back and skillfully took out a few forms from his schoolbag.

Then it's time to distribute the transcripts and rankings.

Sure enough, when they saw the list full of numbers, a group of children were so cold that they took a breath.

"Huangshi, 230 six points, grade 256."

"Zhou Yang, 240 seven points, 231 years old."

"Li Xiang, 190 seven points, grade 356."

Zhou Yuze read the form by himself and walked around in the crowd looking back. Naturally, he breathed a sigh of relief when he got good grades, and only he knew the bitterness of poor grades.

This feeling is no different from public execution.

"It's over, it's over, this time I only got 220 points in the test, my mother can't scold me to death when I go back." It was Liu Ting who spoke, the one who had mocked the eldest lady before, but now she looked dejected. I am a little older, and this exam is already very difficult, and I have never seen many reminders, so there is no way to go back.

"Go back and deal with you." But she didn't expect that she saw her mother's sharp eyes floating over on the right-hand seat in a blink of an eye. Liu Ting was stunned. The results are really not satisfactory.

Since some of the people who ate here were from other schools, the rankings on the report card were reported quite a bit. After going around, Zhou Yuze came to the young lady's table that day.

"Lixia? It's really you." Zhou Yuze suddenly had a surprised expression on his face. He touched his nose, and his tone was a little stumbled, "I didn't expect you to really come."

"Ah, it's me, what's the matter? From what you're saying, you mean I can't come?" Big fish and big meat, but I didn't expect that there were all vegetarian dishes on the table.

This simply cannot be entered!

"Cough, that's not what I meant." Zhou Yuze was a little embarrassed, and after coughing dryly twice, he gestured hurriedly, "I just feel very emotional that you can come... By the way, I really won't come to practice tomorrow Is it? I think there is still a big gap between my skills and Liu Yuan's."

"The master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual." Unexpectedly, the eldest lady rolled her eyes at you, and she didn't give the school grass any face. "Besides, what does your laziness have to do with me?"

It made that senior Zhou Cao feel uncontrollably embarrassed, "I said sister, so many people are watching, can you save face."

The eldest lady really didn't intend to give any face, she sat there carelessly eating the vegetarian dishes in the bowl bit by bit, and didn't even have the energy to raise her eyes.

"Hey, hey, how are you?" The girls who came behind heard the sound, they couldn't sit still, they frowned and planned to complain about Li Xia, "I'm talking to you again, Zhou Yuze, what is your attitude like?" What's the meaning?"

"That's right, Young Master Zhou, if you talk to her about basketball, how could she understand it? Why don't you come to our place and send her report card and we'll be done." Liu Ting was already depressed, but at this time With the target of venting, it is natural to be indiscriminate and just be a meal, "What should I say to a person like her, she doesn't understand."

"Go and sit with you?" Zhou Yuze frowned, but still politely smiled and rejected Liu Ting's offer, "Forget it, aren't your tables full of people?"

"Ah? This..." A group of little girls obviously didn't expect that the school grass would reject them that week, and they were a little surprised for a while, "Then what should you do?"

"Isn't there still a lot of empty seats here?" Seeing that Zhou Yuze smiled, pointed at the few vacant seats next to the eldest lady, and looked at the eldest lady nervously, "Why don't I just sit here? It's just a little I want to talk to you more."

"It's up to you, sit wherever you like." The eldest lady waved her hand indifferently.

Liu Ting and the others looked a little surprised... Why do you feel that when Zhou Yuze and Li Xia talked, there was still a vague sense of embarrassment in their eyes? !

"By the way, let's talk about grades." Zhou Yuze remembered the most important thing while chatting, looked up and down the form, and said in a tone of surprise: "Your grades are really good this time." , 320 points, ranked 16th in the grade, even better than last time."

After finishing speaking, he winked at her and flattered her suddenly, "You are too good at this, how did you learn to get to your level?"

"Just read the books casually." The eldest lady didn't answer, just perfunctory. In fact, she had some expectations for this result. It was more gorgeous before.
