After learning that Xu Yin made the beef sauce so delicious that it could make people's eyebrows fall off, Jiang Zuoyu became her loyal follower.
Every time Xu Yin comes to Jiang's house, he is always older than his younger brother, and urges his brother to buy some high-end fruits, such as cherries, strawberries, loquats, etc., instead of the cheap apples and bananas sold by trucks outside the community.
Jiang Youjin: "But I asked her, and she said she likes apples."
Jiang Zuoyu rolled his eyes: "Of course she won't tell you if you ask her. You have to buy it directly for her to eat. How can you ask someone what they want to eat before buying it? Then if they say they don't want to eat it, then you really don't buy it? I I really admire you, boss! You don’t understand a girl’s mind at all.”
"..."
So, another weekend, when Xu Yin came to Jiang's house to study for papers, she found a plate of seasonal cherries on the table.
"What a coincidence?" Xu Yin raised her eyebrows. She also brought cherries.
When I left the community, I saw an old woman carrying two baskets of small jade cherries for sale, claiming that they were grown by her family.
Now is the season for local cherries to be on the market. I picked them early in the morning and took the bus to the city to sell them, and they were still covered with dew.
This reminded Xu Yin of a certain life, and she couldn't help but feel compassion. When asked if the price was a fair market price, she bought two baskets of cherries so that the old lady could go back early to avoid heatstroke.
But the cherries were too intolerant, so she took a bag and put five kilograms in it, brought it to eat with the brothers, and put the rest into the system warehouse.
Jiang Zuoyu gave his brother a look and let him realize: Look! Just say that girls like to eat fruits like cherries, right? Let you cut the apples all the time, now that's good, people would rather bring them themselves, right? There are so many things in one area... You said that besides studying well, what else do you know? You can't even guess what a girl is thinking.
Jiang Youjin: "..."
Xu Yin didn't know about the lawsuit between the two brothers. She washed a plate, invited everyone to eat together, and then sat down and started studying.
Jiang Youjin was no longer distracted by thinking about these things. He and Xu Yin sat in the restaurant to write papers. When they encountered problems or traps, they would discuss classic questions with several pitfalls.
Jiang Zuoyu was doing homework in his room. If he encountered something he didn't know, he would put it aside and wait until all other homework was done before he came out and asked his brother.
At noon, the three of them had braised noodles made by Xu Yin.
Except for the noodles, the other ingredients were brought by Xu Yin, and the shredded pork was cooked by Xu's father in the frying pan early in the morning.
"This is the braised noodles that my parents occasionally sell in the canteen. Many people like it. Please try it to see if it tastes good."
Jiang Zuoyu put down his chopsticks and his eyes lit up: "Great! Great!"
After eating for several times, he slowed down. While eating, he glanced at his brother with a resentful look: "Brother, you are not kind! The school cafeteria sells such delicious braised noodles, but you don't bring me one. Don't mention the food in our school cafeteria. I lost my appetite after seeing it, and there are only two sets, A and B. If you don’t want to eat either, you’ll have to go hungry.”
Jiang Youjin did not say that he had not eaten in the canteen a few times. Instead, he glanced at his brother indifferently: "You can get in by yourself and eat whatever you want."
Jiang Zuoyu "..."
Isn't this embarrassing?
Based on his current results, even if he was given 50 points for nothing, he wouldn't be able to get as high as Jiang Linshi.
Xu Yin didn't say that by the time he was admitted to Jiang Linshi High School, the canteen would most likely have changed owners, because the contract agreement her parents signed with the school would expire at the end of June this year. Will the subsequent contractors be able to do the stew? It’s unclear whether the noodles are delicious or not. Anyway, the big cafeteria sells braised noodles.
At this moment, her and Jiang Youjin's brain circuits were surprisingly consistent, and they used this as an excuse to encourage Xiao Yu's brother: "That's right! Work hard and get into Jiang Linshi High School. Delicious dishes in the cafeteria are waiting for you."
Jiang Zuoyu: "..."
Do you all think too highly of me?
"You are only in the second grade of junior high school. You still have a full year before the high school entrance examination. You are totally in time!" Xu Yin even used herself as an example. "Look at me, I was at the bottom of my class when I was a model. Now, aren't I on the red list? Just think about it. It’s never too late to learn.”
Jiang Youjin agreed: "One year is enough!"
"..."
Xu Yin finally figured out that Xiaoyu's younger brother was a foodie.
So, she asked Jiang Youjin to turn on the computer and find out the ranking of the top 10 university cafeterias: "Xiaoyu, look, among the rankings of the best university cafeterias voted for by netizens across the country, none of the top ten is not 985. It can be seen that excellent universities have different rankings. Excellent in all aspects. If you want to eat delicious food from all over the country, then go to a top prestigious school. The road to a prestigious school starts from your feet, the first stop - Jianglin Shigao! Come on, young man!"
Jiang Zuoyu's heart was agitated after being told: "Do I really have time to catch up?"
"able!"
"You can definitely do it!"
Xu Yin and Jiang Youjin said in unison.
Jiang Zuoyu returned to his room thoughtfully.
From then on, his work and rest began to follow that of his brother: what time Jiang Youjin got up in the morning, he also set the alarm clock, and when he got up, he memorized words, texts, and ancient poems and classical Chinese; at night, what time his brother turned off the lights, he also set the alarm clock. Go to bed before going to bed. Follow his brother's instructions and go through all the lessons that day in your mind. If there are still some that you can't recall or have trouble understanding, you can read them out and memorize them when you read in the morning the next day. Until I understand it, but I really don’t understand it, so I ask his brother to explain it to me at night.
Before the final exam, he worked hard to catch up with the progress of the semester, and asked his brother to catch up on the knowledge points he missed in the first and second grades of junior high during the summer vacation.
Jiang Zuoyu is not stupid, but he has always been careless in the past and never took his studies seriously. He would lie down and sleep when he wanted to listen or not, which led to his terrible results.
Now he realizes in his heart that he wants to study hard, has the internal drive, and takes action to implement it seriously. It is only a matter of time to catch up.
"Thank you."
Seeing his younger brother getting better and better, Jiang Youjin felt that it was Xu Yin's credit.
On the last weekend before the exam, the two got together for the final sprint. During the break, he thanked her.
"I'll treat you to dinner after the exam. You can eat whatever you want."
Xu Yin met his serious gaze and said with a smile: "This is what I should say. I am on the red list thanks to your help. I also want to treat you to dinner. Thank you very much."
Jiang Youjin curled her lips: "No, my information won't have such a big effect. Your results are the result of your own efforts."
"But I think it's useful. Forget it, let's not argue. After the exam, I'll treat you to dinner, and how about you treat me to a movie?"
"okay."
Jiang Zuoyu came out of the room holding a water glass and wearing slippers: "..."
Is he redundant?
Shouldn't he be here?
"I said you two should consider me. You will finish the exam next week, and I won't take the exam until the end of the month! Then you two can eat and drink and relax, leaving me alone at home to study hard. Your Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Xu Yin and Jiang Youjin looked at each other and smiled, and they said in unison: "No."
Jiang Zuoyu: "..."
It was as if he had received a critical hit of 10,000 points. (End of chapter)
