One day in January.
Simei rushed home happily as soon as school was over. The results of the exam two days ago came out. Although she took the exam alone, she performed particularly well this time.
According to the teacher, it shouldn't be a problem to get into the top ten in grade by the end of the semester with this score.
The moment she got the transcript, Simei jumped for joy.
She did it!
She can go to Xiangjiang!
"Brother! Brother! My results are out!"
Before they even entered the door, Simei's voice passed through the thick wall and reached the ears of the three Qiao family members.
As soon as they heard Simei's whirring voice, others knew without asking that she must have exceeded expectations in this exam.
Otherwise, she should be weak when speaking now.
"Brother, brother, look!"
As soon as she entered the door, Simei happily handed over the report card in her hand, with a "Come and praise me" expression on her face.
I am so proud!
Li Jie took the transcript and glanced at it: Chinese 105 (out of 120), Mathematics 115 (out of 120), English 90 (out of 100), Politics 80 (percent), History 79 (percent), Geography 83 (percent).
Total score 552.
Compared with the last mock test, Simei's score this time has improved by nearly 100 points, which can be said to be a rapid improvement.
It seems that surprise tutoring is still useful.
If the college entrance examination can still maintain this score, it should not be a problem for Simei to go to a key university.
"good!"
After reading the report card, Li Jie gave a neutral evaluation.
"Brother, when are we going to Xiangjiang?" Simei came to Li Jie unknowingly, with a flattering smile on her face.
She packed her things a few days ago, and she also promised her classmates to bring them autographed photos of her brother.
At this moment, her thoughts had already flown to Xiangjiang.
"The day after tomorrow."
"yeah!"
As soon as the words fell, Simei immediately danced with joy.
"elder sister."
Immediately afterwards, Simei picked up the report card on the table and ran to Sanli very clumsily, saying proudly.
"Look at my grades this time."
Looking at Simei with a proud look on her face, Sanli couldn't help but smile.
"It's just over 500 points, what's the big deal?"
"What do you mean it's a big deal?"
After hearing Sanli's words, Simei was unhappy on the spot and said emotionally.
"This...this has reached last year's heavy capital score line, okay?"
"hehe."
Sanli smiled slightly and did not answer. All the answers she should have were written on her face.
It's just over 500 points. What's there to be proud of? Even the second brother with the worst grades can occasionally get such results.
In the college entrance examination that year, if my second brother hadn't performed abnormally, how could he have been admitted to Jinling Normal University.
"Huh, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Simei snorted softly and looked around. She was looking for the second brother, but after searching inside and outside, she couldn't find the second brother.
Where has the second brother gone?
She also wanted to tell her second brother the 'good news'. She improved by 100 points in more than a month, and the teachers were stunned by her potential.
This result directly made her a seed contestant for this year's college entrance examination!
When she got her transcript, her class teacher encouraged her to 'keep going and pass the Qingbei exam next year', although she would not go to another city to go to university.
But the teacher's serious look was very helpful to her.
Even after searching the kitchen, she didn't see her second brother. Simei couldn't help but turn back to the main room and asked Sanli.
"Sister, where is the second brother?"
"Second brother hasn't come back yet."
"Not back?"
Simei felt a little strange. Today was the day when she would get her results. Normally, on such an important day, her second brother would definitely come back early.
Although the second brother's restaurant makes money, that money is nothing compared to family ties.
Seeing the surprised look on Simei's face, Sanli said puzzledly: "Yes, the business of Er Ge's restaurant has been getting better and better recently, didn't you know?"
"Sister, I'm going to find my second brother. I'll be back later."
After leaving these words, Simei ran out without looking back.
It was a rare occasion to get good grades, and she couldn't wait to tell her second brother the good news.
Among the brothers and sisters, she has the best relationship with the second best. She usually goes to the second best's restaurant when she has something to do.
Therefore, the way to the restaurant is already a familiar one to him.
The Erqiang Hotel is not far from Qiao's house, and is also near the Drum Tower. It is just three streets away from Qingshui Lane, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
She ran to the door of the hotel like a gust of wind. Suddenly, Simei stopped and looked at the scene in the hotel with a look of shock.
I saw Er Qiang chatting and laughing with a woman, with Simei's particularly familiar smile on his face.
In the words of the eldest brother, that smile is warm and doting.
Who is this woman?
Seeing the two people's closeness, Simei couldn't help but have an idea in her heart.
Is she the second brother’s girlfriend?
In an instant, Simei understood why her second brother had been home late recently.
The second brother learned the craft from his eldest brother. Although the restaurant is not located in a downtown area, most people who eat at his restaurant once will become repeat customers in the end.
Therefore, only half a month after its opening, the 'Qiaojia Cuisine' restaurant has shown a booming scene.
If you put it on others, it will definitely expand the hotel's performance as much as possible.
But Qiang Er is different. He opened a restaurant not to make money, but more out of interest and love.
He likes to see others enjoying delicious food, especially when he contributed to it.
Therefore, even if the business got better and better, the ingredients he prepared every day did not change at all.
There are ten tables at noon and ten tables in the afternoon every day. Once the ingredients are used up, he will get off work on time and will never be late.
Normally, the top two restaurants close at 6 p.m.
At six o'clock, it was dinner time, and the diners were complaining when they encountered such a willful boss.
But who allowed the two strong men to be willful?
On the other side, the woman in the hotel suddenly looked startled.
She noticed Simei outside the door. This little girl had been standing there for a while, her eyes always on her and Erqiang.
The look on his face was astonishing, as if he had seen something amazing.
Seeing that the woman suddenly stopped talking, Erqiang said softly.
"What's wrong?"
The woman pointed in the distance and asked doubtfully: "Er Qiang, do you know the little girl outside the door?"
Following the woman's guidance, Erqiang turned his head and took a look. The moment he saw Simei, his whole body froze.
This... He hadn't thought about how to tell his family about this, but Simei broke it.
Blinking, Erqiang came back to his senses.
Now that we have met, let's just show off our cards. It's not a shameful thing anyway.
