On December 31st, Weicheng finally ushered in a sunny day. The warm sunshine reflected the snow on the ground, reflecting a different brilliance. The campus was full of joy. On the tree branches and under the street lights, all the Little Red Lantern, Hong Xiqi had organized tonight’s activities as early as the weekend. There were originally several other students who wanted to join, but later they were unable to participate due to various reasons. After going around in a circle, there were still only the four of them.
"In this way, after school is over, we will go home and tidy up first, and then meet at Silaike on time. I have already made a reservation." It was only noon, and Hong Xiqi couldn't wait to confirm with them again and again.
Silaike is a stir-fry restaurant on the Yunze River. It specializes in Jiangnan-style cuisine. Netizens commented that the taste is very authentic and the price is affordable. It is a rare good restaurant. It is usually hard to find one. It is also a must-have for watching the fireworks show. The location advantage was that the seats for several nights had been booked half a month ago. Hong Xiqi only got a table in a corner, which was not the most ideal location to watch the fireworks show. This was because she had been staring at the restaurant reservation page for nearly ten years. For hours, I managed to grab it after someone unsubscribed.
"There's still half a day left. How many times have you said this, and the time is different every time." Gu Yi picked his ears and complained, "Just wait until school is over and send a message to the group. You are so Tell me, how can we remember it?"
"You have a bad memory, and Xiao Youyou didn't say anything. I just want to find a time that is convenient for everyone." Hong Xiqi rolled his eyes and said, "This is the last one, if possible, let's settle it. .”
Tao You smiled as she watched the two people arguing in front of her and nodded in agreement. She had nothing else to do after school anyway, so it was convenient for her to come.
"So, Song Yimian?" Hong Xiqi called Song Yimian in a low voice. The three of them looked at him, but he was wearing earplugs and seemed not to hear Hong Xiqi's voice and did not look up. Hong Xiqi swallowed his saliva and felt a little She glanced at Tao You at a loss and said, "Tell him." She didn't dare to disturb Song Yimian who was focused on studying, for fear that he would be interrupted and angry. She couldn't afford to offend this big boss.
Gu Yi waved his hand and said calmly, "It's okay. Brother Mian will go home with me later. He has nothing else to do and can arrive on time."
"Can you make the decision?" Hong Xiqi asked distrustfully.
"Hong Xiqi! The head teacher asked you to go to the office to drink tea!" A boy shouted at the door holding a basketball, interrupting the conversation of several people.
Hong Xiqi looked back with a grimace, "Oh." Her voice was trembling, "It's over, you must be talking to me about the paper from the past two days."
"Xiao Youyou, please protect me from being scolded too badly." Hong Xiqi forgot to do a math paper on weekends. After returning to school, she discovered that the key was that she came back a little late, and Tao You and others' papers had already been completed. It was handed over to the group leader, and class was about to end in twenty minutes. Hong Xiqi had no time to hesitate, so she took out the paper and wrote quickly. At least she could compile multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions. She even answered the questions for the next few big questions. Before she finished reading, the class bell rang. The class representative urged the group leader to hand in her homework. The group leader walked to her again and urged her to hand in her papers. Hong Xiqi didn’t want to go to the office alone to hand in her homework, so she made up a few random The formula makes the whole paper look less empty.
Hong Xiqi spent two days on tenterhooks like this. During math class, she didn't dare to raise her head to look at the class teacher. After class, she tried her best to hide from the class teacher, for fear of being stopped by him in the next second. She regretted it more than once. It's time to finish the work and hand in the paper yourself, at least now you can feel at ease.
However, the class teacher has not commented on this paper for a long time. Just when she thought that the class teacher might not intend to discuss this paper and gradually felt relieved, the class teacher corrected the paper.
As soon as Hong Xiqi walked out of the classroom, Song Yimian stopped writing and raised his head to take a sip of water.
Tao You raised his hand to take off one of his earplugs and put it in his own ear. Song Yimian looked at her doubtfully.
Tao You explained: "I think your earplugs work very well. The sound isolation effect is so good that you can't even hear anything you say in your ear."
"No," Song Yimian took back the earplugs, "They are the most common kind. They mainly rely on themselves to block outside sounds."
Here, Hong Xiqi knocked on the door and went in, "Here you come." The head teacher looked up at Hong Xiqi who was standing aside, and took out her paper, "Tell me, what are you doing during the weekend? This paper is not difficult, you can count You got a few questions right, but even such a basic one was wrong, please give me a reason."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to correct other papers, waiting for Hong Xiqi's answer.
"I forgot to do this paper." Hong Xiqi said truthfully, her voice tight, and her hands picking at the zipper of her clothes were slightly sweaty.
The class teacher picked up her paper, looked at her and said, "Oh, I forgot to do it, so I came to school and filled in a few answers." He said in a serious tone, pressing forward step by step, "Then you might as well not do it."
Hong Xiqi's mouth was moving, and the sound that came out was unclear.
"What? Speak louder, I can't hear you!" The head teacher frowned and moved closer.
Hong Xiqi paused for a while and repeated, but her voice was still very low: "Lao Ban, you said last time that those who don't do the test papers will be punished."
"I know, so why don't you hurry up and do it on weekends?" The class teacher flipped through her paper again, and couldn't bear to look at the red crosses and question marks on it. "The punishment for such perfunctory work will be doubled."
"Ah, no, Lao Ban, you didn't say that last time." Hong Xiqi raised her head, her face a little anxious, feeling like she was in a trap.
The head teacher flipped through a pile of papers on one side and replied without looking back: "You can do this even if I don't say anything?!"
"After completing these four sets of papers, give them to me when you come back from the holidays. The accuracy rate is over 80%. Forget it, seven. If not, add another paper."
Hong Xiqi wrinkled her face and used her cheeky skills: "Teacher Wen, can you take two less papers? I haven't assigned any homework for the holidays. There must be a lot of homework. I can't finish it. I promise I won't do it again next time." I will complete the math paper meticulously."
"Only the math paper, what about the physics paper?" The physics teacher heard Hong Xiqi's words nearby, stopped correcting his homework, and chatted with him with a smile.
Hong Xiqi raised three fingers and pretended to be serious: "I will complete every paper meticulously."
The head teacher didn't agree with her: "Isn't this what you should do? There is no need to discuss it. You have time to go out to watch the fireworks show but don't have time to do papers?"
Hong Xiqi grinned awkwardly and said, "Old Ban, how did you know?" She scratched the back of her head, a little surprised.
"You don't care how I know it. Look at the math scores of Tao You, Gu Yi, and Song Yimian. Look at yours. We've been together for a semester, and you haven't learned any learning methods from them. Do you? Study with them more when you have time, don’t always think about going out to play, it’s winter, wear more clothes, don’t catch a cold, go home early in the evening, don’t stay outside for too long, and ensure your own safety.” The head teacher trained After training, he began to babble and give instructions again.
Hong Xiqi took it all in, waited for the class teacher to stop talking, picked up the paper, and said, "I understand, old class, don't worry, I will do a good job on this paper."
Back in the classroom, Hong Xiqi threw four papers on the table, with her shoulders hunched and an expression of "I'm tired" on her face.
Tao You leaned over from her, picked up four papers and looked through them: "Holiday homework?"
Hong Xiqi shook her head with empty eyes: "Hey, God's calculation is not as good as God's, and the punishment is doubled." After saying this, she sighed again.
Tao You took the paper and patted her on the head: "Who told you to forget? It's just to give you some memory."
"Then I was in a hurry to order a restaurant, so I didn't confirm it carefully." The more Hong Xiqi spoke, the less confident she became, and her voice became softer.
"Old Ban also said that we should go out to play and pay attention to safety. He still cares about us." Hong Xiqi stuffed a candy into her mouth and said, "I just don't know who told Old Ban. You are too talkative."
Tao You looked at the questions on the paper and said, "You are calling people in the classroom in such a big way. It's hard for the classmate to not want to know."
"Where are the two of them?" Hong Xiqi raised her chin toward the seat next to her.
Tao You cleared the table and said, "Coach Tan asked me to leave. He seemed to say there was a training camp during the winter vacation."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Hong Xiqi shook her head and sighed, "I'm so busy that I don't even have a break during the winter vacation."
In the evening, the sun had already hung in the west, the sky was still bright, and the temperature began to drop again. Tao You wrapped up her clothes and returned home. Before entering the house, she heard a ringing sound inside. When she entered, she found that the living room was full of things. There are so many boxes and miscellaneous items that there is nowhere to go.
Tao You carefully stepped through it, stared slightly, bared his teeth, and shouted: "Dad, Mom, are you moving?
"
Dad Tao came out of the bedroom. He was wearing thin clothes. He took a bunch of clothes and put them into one of the cardboard boxes. He wiped his sweat and said, "Your mother said there will be cleaning tonight. Go back to the room and take a look. Take all the clothes you don't need." Come out, sort it out and donate it.”
"So much stuff in just half a year." Tao You picked up the broom that fell on the ground.
Mother Tao rolled up her sleeves and came out of the bedroom and walked to the door: "I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the utility room downstairs to clean up."
"Ahem." Tao You tensed up for a moment, pretending to cough, and kept signaling to Tao's father with his eyes.
Father Tao looked at Mother Tao at the door, blinked crazily, and said, "Well! You can clean up here. I can clean up downstairs. There is a lot of dust over there."
Tao's mother sneered and continued to change her shoes: "Forget it, I'll clean it up. Do you know what to throw away and what not?"
"Mom!" Tao You stumbled to the door and grabbed Tao's mother.
Tao's mother and Tao's father were both startled. When Tao You was about to fall, he subconsciously stretched out his hands. Fortunately, Tao You held on to the sofa and stood firm: "Be careful."
"Mom, dad and I will go there later. You should pack your clothes at home. What if we take away the clothes you asked for? Those things downstairs are all unimportant. We can just pack them away." Tao You pushed Tao's mother inside, not forgetting to wink at Tao's father.
"Uh, yes, yes, we can go." Tao's father took off his apron as he walked, and he and Tao You went out.
"Scared me to death." Tao You entered the utility room and patted his chest to calm his heartbeat.
Tao's father touched the wall and turned on the light, then bent down and started to clean up: "What time will you leave in the evening?"
Let's go around half way to eat. "Tao You threw a pile of newspapers outside, frowned and waved away the dust. She looked up and saw a large spider web in the corner with some black things on it. She didn't see any spiders. Still getting goosebumps, I turned my eyes away and tried to ignore its existence.
Tao's father turned around and asked: "Wear more clothes and bring an umbrella. It may snow at night. Go home early after watching. Do you want me to take you there?"
"No, no, I can go by myself." Tao You packed up another pile of newspapers, "Why did you order so many newspapers?"
"The previous landlord ordered it, but we didn't do much to clean up this room." Tao's father pulled out an unused cardboard box and brought out a lot of dust. He frowned and leaned back, trying to avoid the dust.
It was dark outside. Tao You and Tao's father came out of the utility room. There was a lot of dust on their faces and their hands were all black. There were no windows in the utility room. The father and daughter were sweating a lot. The wind As soon as it blew, I couldn't help but shudder.
When she got home, Tao You counted the time in her mind, took a shower, put on a thick down jacket, and hurried out: "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving." Before Tao's father and Tao's mother could respond, she had already closed the door and left. I didn’t forget to send a voice message to the group, “Everyone, I’m cleaning my house, so I may be late. You can order food when you arrive. You don’t have to wait for me.”
