Hu Lijuan didn't want to look at the blackboard for a long time, so she touched Ji Donglai embarrassedly.
"Huh? You can't see it from such a close distance? How long has it been?"
Looking at the huge chalk words on the blackboard, Ji Donglai was surprised. Then he looked at Hu Lijuan, who smiled awkwardly.
"It's always been the case. I have poor eyesight. Most of the exercises I used to have were copied from my classmates!"
Talking about her eyes, Hu Lijuan felt disappointed for a while.
Since entering high school, Hu Lijuan's heavy study workload caused her to become short-sighted in her first year of high school. However, her family was in dire straits, so she could only keep putting it off.
"I understand, come with me after school!"
Only then did Ji Donglai understand why the other party's academic performance did not explode until the late third year of high school. Because of the classification, the other party was placed in the top thirty classes because of the test scores, so it was naturally visible.
Looking at the familiar eyes of the other party, Ji Donglai seemed to see himself looking in the mirror decades later, feeling inferior and helpless, and his heart moved slightly.
Hu Lijuan's face was slightly red, she looked at Ji Donglai subconsciously, and agreed quietly. Behind her, Liu Yupeng grinned and poked Ji Donglai, who was directly despised by Ji Donglai.
"Come up!"
At the school stall, Ji Donglai pushed his bicycle and pointed to the back seat of his bicycle towards Hu Lijuan. Liu Yupeng beside him rolled his eyes, and Hu Lijuan hurried over.
"Huh, even if you're so fat, you won't be afraid of crushing the car!"
From afar, Jiang Xue also pushed his bicycle out, watching Hu Lijuan get on Ji Donglai's bicycle and drive away with unwillingness in her eyes.
Today, apart from taking a look at Jiang Xue'er when he entered the class, Ji Donglai didn't even look at him again, even during the break from get out of class.
As for buying snacks, Ji Donglai didn't stop in front of Jiang Xue at all. Everyone in the class subconsciously looked at Jiang Xue, which made Jiang Xue very hurt.
"Auntie, my classmate is a little short-sighted. Please give me some glasses. He is a distant relative of ours!"
Ji Donglai and Liu Yupeng took Hu Lijuan directly to the pedestrian street optical shop on bicycles. The shop owner rented a house from Liu Yupeng's family, so he naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took Hu Lijuan to test her eyesight.
"That...I..."
"Don't worry, we are here to give you a pair of glasses and to explain the exercises to me, I will pay for it!"
Looking at the prices posted in the room, Hu Lijuan pinched the corner of her clothes. Ji Donglai waved his hand to signal the other party not to worry, and simply opened his wallet. There were many tickets in it. Now Liu Yupeng's living expenses have been 'deposited' with Ji Donglai. Here it is.
Hu Lijuan was still a little shy, so the female shopkeeper simply came over to get Hu Lijuan.
"No need to spend money. Whoever is the landlord's relative dares to ask for money. When the girl gets the first prize in the exam, she can just give us some wedding candy. I'll treat you!"
After hearing that the shop owner didn't want any money, Hu Lijuan dared to step forward.
According to the shop owner, the crystal lenses given to Hu Lijuan today were actually glass lenses, and it was difficult for Ji Donglai to pierce them. After all, she didn't need any money because she was short of money.
"I will pay you back in the future, Ji Donglai!"
Wearing the newly-fitted glasses, Hu Lijuan was energetic and in a very comfortable mood. She stood at the door of the girls' dormitory with her hands behind her back, watching Ji Donglai turn the bicycle, with joy in her eyes.
"I told you that a pair of glasses pays for the tuition fee, so don't cheat! My family is in a difficult situation, so there is no need to ask for more money from me. Goodbye, Teacher Hu!"
Waving to Hu Lijuan, Ji Donglai rode his bicycle straight to his mother's video hall. Behind him, Hu Lijuan puffed her lips with pride and skipped towards the dormitory.
Because of getting glasses and eating, the evening self-study at school has ended. Ji Donglai replaced his mother and went home for dinner. From time to time, guests came to rent discs, and Ji Donglai could successfully handle it.
"Stop looking, there's no point in cramming, let's go!"
Ji Donglai repeatedly checked the exercises explained by Hu Lijuan today. Based on the experience accumulated in previous lives, doing one question ten times solidified it, which was far more than just doing ten questions once.
Ji Donglai tried his best to memorize every type of question in his mind, forgetting himself and forgetting the time. Ji Donglai didn't notice it until Ji Ping came back from the evening shift.
The two went home one after another. Just like yesterday, Ji Donglai read until late at night.
"Don't you feel it? My son has been different lately!"
In the middle of the night, looking at Ji Donglai's house with the lights still on, Ning Caiyun pushed her husband.
"So what? People who have studied for three years may not be able to get into a good school, but he can get into a good school with just a half-hearted effort? I'm working around these days, trying to save more for him. ! You need money to go to a vocational high school and get married. I asked my former colleagues about it and found out that you can earn more by working abroad now!"
"If the factory's efficiency is still like this after the college entrance examination, I will follow them to work abroad. You also close the video store. It won't make any money anyway. I will go to Wang Jue's place to help look after the children! It's not as good as before. , we can’t count on this child when we get old!”
After patting his wife's hand, Ji Ping just glanced at the direction of Ji Donglai's room and urged his wife to sleep.
As the head of the family, although he doesn't care much about his children, he still carries the burden of the family on his shoulders all the time.
Outside the door, Ji Donglai went out to use the toilet, and happened to hear the conversation between the two, and a string of memories flooded into his mind again.
In my memory, my father really went to work abroad. He was unable to return home for three years, and he had to mail back a lot of money every year.
When Ji Donglai saw Ji Ping again, his father's hair was more than half white and his back was stooped.
Later I found out that Ji Ping was working in construction abroad, which was very tiring! In the desert of the Middle East, Ji Ping endured high temperatures of over 50 degrees Celsius every day and suffered from severe lung disease. From then on, he would cough non-stop every time it was cloudy and rainy, sometimes all night long.
"I will never let my family suffer this crime again in this life!"
After clenching his fist, Ji Donglai's eyes became firmer.
A week passed by, and Ji Donglai spent several days a day. Finally, with superhuman perseverance, he became familiar with all the three years of high school courses.
With forty years of life and work experience, it is not a problem to deal with these elementary exercises. Some things are integrated into the previous work experience. Ji Donglai is not only very handy, but it is not a problem to deal with most of the exercises.
This first test in the second semester of senior high school was held completely according to the college entrance examination model, with one person and one table, and there was only a blank piece of paper on the table.
Even the order of the exams was exactly the same. Ji Donglai was placed in the first row by the teacher, almost under the nose of the invigilator.
Hu Lijuan was placed in another examination room, while Jiang Xue was placed next to Ji Donglai.
"Um?"
The first class was Chinese. When the papers were handed out, Ji Donglai habitually wrote his name in order, and then read from the back to the front.
