After school in the afternoon, Xiang Nan returned home.
His home is an old tube building built in the late 1970s. In the early 1980s, the unit was allocated welfare housing.
It has been standing for decades, but it has become dilapidated and rotten everywhere. In particular, broken water pipes upstairs and downstairs often cause water to flood downstairs.
Chu Tiankuo's father and mother have argued numerous times with the neighbors upstairs, but the problem still has not been resolved.
After all, repairing old buildings requires a lot of money. As for the people who still live in such old tube buildings, they are basically poor people with little money.
So even if it breaks your throat and you can't get the money, there's nothing you can do.
After returning home, Xiang Nan took the time to do his homework.
This really shouldn't be too simple for him, just like a college student doing homework for a primary school student.
After finishing all the homework in less than an hour, Xiang Nan started cooking for his family.
Chu Tiankuo's parents were laid off in the late 1990s. After they were laid off, they rented a stall in the market to sell fish, leaving early and returning late, which was very hard.
At half past eight, my parents got home.
Xiang Nan served the food and the family began to eat.
During the meal, my father and mother were calculating today's income and arguing about each other's faults.
For example, my father forgot to tie two rubber bands when selling flower crabs; my mother forgot to add water when selling shrimps; my father forgot to change things when selling live fish...
The words are full of deceit and deceit, and there is always a trade-off between penny and penny.
Xiang Nan was speechless.
Born in such a family, Chu Tiankuo has not collapsed yet, which means he is strong.
…
After eating, Xiang Nan washed the pots and dishes, then returned to his room, took out a pen and paper and wrote the first line - "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp".
The reason why Chu Tiankuo had low self-esteem and did not dare to fall in love with Ling Xiangqian was ultimately because his family was poor and he did not dare to make the wrong move.
As Chen Xiaozheng, who also came from a poor background, said, my life is a building that can only be built once. I must make it extremely accurate without a centimeter difference.
Therefore, when he was holding hands with Ling Xiangqian and was bumped into by Director Pan, he was eager to deny their relationship and even put all the blame on Ling Xiangqian.
When taking the independent admissions exam, they would also worry about missing out on the opportunity to enter, and would not dare to abandon the exam to look for Ling Xiangqian like Lin Yang, Jiang Chuan, and Yu Zhouzhou did.
Therefore, if Xiang Nan wants to help Chu Tiankuo, he must first improve his family's financial situation.
Writing is his specialty, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a super IP, a powerful tool for attracting money.
It was originally serialized by Tian Xia Ba Sing in 2006 on the Tianya Forum. It's now 2004, and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" hasn't been released yet, so it's the right time for Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan wrote quickly, from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock.
Then wash up, do Baduanjin, and then go to bed to rest.
He slept until seven o'clock, got up, and ate alone.
At this moment, my parents have already gone out to catch the fish. The most important thing when selling fish is that the catch is fresh, so at four o'clock in the morning, they have to go to the dock to load the goods, which is a very hard life.
…
After eating, Xiang Nan changed his clothes, took the bus to school, and gave up his seat to the elderly on the way.
His handsome face really attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Go back to school and enter class.
"Tiankuo, have you heard that Ling Xiangqian also wants to forward the article?" Zhou Zhong shouted to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan was stunned and nodded.
"Did you hear about it? When?" Weekend asked in surprise. He had just found out.
"That's what you told me just now." Xiang Nan smiled.
Weekend clapped his hands and laughed, Xiang Nan's answer was so wonderful.
Xiang Nan returned to his seat and sat down, then recited English words in a low voice.
In fact, for him, these words do not need to be memorized deliberately, they are all stored in his mind.
But Chu Tiankuo is the monitor of Class 1, the top teacher, and the role model of his classmates. He has always been strict with himself. It has become a habit to work hard to improve your academic qualifications and never relax.
Xiang Nan has just arrived, so it's not easy to break the rules rashly.
What's more, he actually misses the days when he didn't have to think about anything and could get a sense of accomplishment by just working hard.
In the future, when we are out of society, there will be a lot of people doing things like cows and horses, half-tired to death, but without any value.
During this period, representatives of each subject collected homework, some students came to ask questions, and the student council checked the classroom hygiene...it was noisy until eight o'clock, when the class bell rang, and the class officially started.
It's early July now, seven days before the end of the semester.
"Students who are interested in transferring their essays should submit their liberal arts and science subject forms as soon as possible." Teacher Zhang Feng reminded again and then started class.
…
After class, Yu Zhouzhou and Ling Xiangqian both handed in their subject charts.
Seeing that both of them had switched to liberal arts, the classmates couldn't help but talk about it.
"Why did Ling Xiangqian reprint the article?"
"Escape the pressure. You see how hard she studies and works every day. We are so tired for her. If she transfers to the liberal arts class, she will still be able to squeeze a few soft persimmons. Maybe she will get all the recommended places. "
"Then why does Yu Zhouzhou want to transfer her essay? Does she also want to go to the liberal arts class to make a fool of herself?"
"She didn't have to go to the liberal arts class to soften the persimmons. She had already softened the hard persimmons in the science class. I think she thought science was no longer challenging, so she changed the track to play."
Everyone talked confidently.
Ling Xiangqian felt naturally unhappy after hearing this.
Her grades were not as good as Yu Zhouzhou's, but they were not that bad. Why did she transfer to a liberal arts class just to pick on the weaklings? It made her bully the good and fear the evil, as if she was a villain. It was really hateful! !
…
"They all said that about me, and it made me not want to go." At noon, in the library, Ling Xiangqian complained to Xiang Nan again.
"Don't be angry. I've heard a saying, don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes." Xiang Nan advised with a smile, "It's their fault for setting you up behind your back.
But if you want to give up your plan to repost because of these irresponsible words, I don’t think it’s necessary. It will be good for you to switch to liberal arts, don't give up so easily. "
"Well, you can always say such reasonable things." Ling Xiangqian listened and nodded with a smile.
In her heart, she had actually said the words to explain herself countless times.
There are things like "No one speaks behind someone's back, no one speaks behind someone's back", "Go your own way and let others speak for you", "No more farming when you listen to the cries of crickets", but I still can't understand it. The lumps in it.
But Xiang Nan solved the knot in her heart with just a few words.
[Don’t punish yourself with other people’s mistakes], what a philosophical statement.
"By the way, how do you plan to spend your summer vacation?" Ling Xiangqian asked again expectantly.
"I should be able to read at home." Xiang Nan thought for a while.
"You are so self-disciplined. I only study during the holidays." Ling Xiangqian praised, "Then can I still call you and ask you out to play occasionally?"
"Of course." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
When Ling Xiangqian heard this, she laughed happily.
