Chapter 16: Lateness

While Zhang Xiaoqiang secretly made up his mind, he picked up his mother's bowl and walked out.

"Xiaoqiang, what are you doing?" Li Xiuju didn't know why.

"Mom, don't eat this, you sweep the streets under the scorching sun every day, you're more tired than me, these chickens, half of our mothers, otherwise I won't eat them." ”

While speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already walked to the pigsty in the yard, and poured the potatoes in the bowl into the pig food trough.

"Hey, you kid......"

Li Xiuju didn't have time to stop it: "Didn't Mom tell you, I don't like chicken, you see how nutritious those potatoes are, what a pity it wasted." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang took a big bowl of chicken from the pot, and said with a smile: "Mom, you can eat it, I'm so old, I eat chicken, you eat potatoes, do you think I can still eat it?"

Li Xiuju was speechless: "Xiaoqiang, our family's life is not as good as before, since there is no orchard, the family has no financial resources, I sweep the streets to earn some money, and your father has no skills, so he can only give people a start and subsidize the family, and he is not allowed to waste it so much in the future, you know?"

Although she said this, Li Xiuju's heart was still very pleased.

Looking at the chicken in the bowl, he bluntly said that his son had grown up and knew filial piety.

At the same time, there is some helplessness in my heart, my current life is incomparable with before, it is simply a heaven and an earth.

If it had been before, his son had studied so hard, and the pork ribs and braised pork would have been arranged for him a long time ago.

Can ...... now

Even the old hen I bought in the supermarket was the smallest one I picked.

Thinking about it, I thought of my own orchard.

The old couple weed, irrigated, pesticide, and fertilized day and night, aren't they just waiting for the fruit to ripen and sell it at a good price?

However, more than 20 acres of fruit trees were destroyed overnight.

Thinking of this, the corners of Li Xiuju's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

Seeing his mother's sad appearance, Zhang Xiaoqiang secretly gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his heart for the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the two aunts and others unconsciously intensified.

At the same time, I also secretly swore in my heart, don't worry, Mom, I won't let you sweep the streets for the rest of your life, I will definitely let you and my dad live a good life!

After eating, Zhang Xiaoqiang rushed to the bedroom and began to code.

A few hours passed, and it was early in the morning, and I looked at the word count at the bottom of the document, which was 14,000 words.

For several days in a row, Zhang Xiaoqiang spent his time like this, dozing off during the day and coding words at night as if he had taken a stimulant.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday, the last day of the explosion event.

Zhang Xiaoqiang ranked sixth.

The first scholar who killed was actually 60,000 words yesterday, with a total of 187,000 words, which is 80,000 more than the total number of words in the second place!

Sixth, the prize money is 3,000, and the fifth, 500 more.

Looking at the number of words in the fifth place, it was 10,000 more than himself.

Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that he could try to surpass it.

However, he played psychological warfare with the fifth place, and at the end of the day, he had a total of 32,000 codewords, and the chapters were uploaded at 11:55 p.m.

It turned out that the author of the fifth place, after twelve o'clock, looked at the ranking of the explosion, and was dumbfounded.

When I saw it at eleven o'clock, it was still fifth, but now it is sixth.

Looking at it again, it turned out to be an author named Chu Liu, who had updated sixteen chapters in a row ten minutes ago......

Zhang Xiaoqiang hasn't slept well in the past few days, and now that the explosion activity is over, he can finally take a good rest.

At the same time, he replied to the blue bird who had been asking him for the manuscript.

"I'm sorry, Blue Bird, something happened at home these days, I haven't had time to update, I'll definitely write the manuscript to you in a few days. ”

Quitting TT and turning off the computer, Zhang Xiaoqiang went to bed.

Jingle bells!

As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the annoying alarm clock.

Zhang Xiaoqiang opened his worried eyes, looked at the time, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

Seven forty-five o'clock!

The sun is already shining on the ass!

Oops, it's almost late!

After school at noon yesterday, the head teacher Sun Xuehui repeatedly told him that today is the day to participate in the competition, the school chartered a van, and set off on time at half past seven, and no one can be late!

I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly got dressed, washed my face indiscriminately, didn't eat, and ran out in a hurry.

Railway Middle School, school gate.

An Iveco van was parked there.

In addition to the two school directors who led the team, there were seven other students who were ready to participate in the competition.

These seven students are all good students in the class, and Liu Wenwen is also among them, but she doesn't know that Zhang Xiaoqiang, who has always looked down on her, participated in the competition with her.

Teacher Hu, the director of the Political and Educational Office, glanced at the watch on his wrist and frowned: "Who is the other student? It's almost eight o'clock, why haven't you come yet?" ”

"Teacher Hu, I think we don't have to wait for this classmate, with the strength of the seven of us, we can get a good ranking and win glory for the school. Liu Wenwen half-jokingly.

However, when these words were heard in the ears of the other students, everyone's faces looked unnatural.

In this competition, nearly 100 students participated, and they were all carefully selected by each school, who can guarantee that they can win?

Teacher Hu glanced at Liu Wenwen and said seriously: "Your name is Liu Wenwen, I have heard of you, you have outstanding grades in all subjects, but don't be too confident."

Although the school also hopes that you can achieve a good ranking, but I still hope that you can calm down, the result is important, but the process is more important, with a normal heart, face every challenge, this is the main purpose of this competition, understand?"

Teacher Hu obviously didn't want Liu Wenwen to be so arrogant.

But Liu Wenwen didn't hear it at all, but said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, we have a good attitude, and we also want a good ranking."

You see, this time we are all elites, Tang Kexin's essay has won awards, and Ding Weiwei, his English test is close to full score every time, and I am the representative of our class's mathematics class, and the results of each subject are also among the best.

Even if you can't win the first place in the competition, the top three will be fine!"

Tang Kexin in Liu Wenwen's mouth is a student in the sixth class of the third year of junior high school, a well-known beauty in the school, I don't know how many boys' crushes, including Ding Weiwei, who participated in the competition together today.

It is said that this Tang Kexin, not to mention his good grades, is still very rich in his family.

Ding Weiwei is in the third and second classes of junior high school, and his grades are not very good, but he is seriously biased, and his English scores are close to full marks every time, and his scores in other subjects can only be regarded as above average.

Several students, including Tang Kexin and Ding Weiwei, did not express any opinions after hearing Liu Wenwen say this, because everyone felt that Liu Wenwen was a little too confident, and even a little arrogant.

Teacher Hu also took a deep look at Liu Wenwen, and always felt that this female classmate was too sharp and liked to be in the limelight.

"Sorry I'm late!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had been running all the way, finally arrived.

After getting in the car, I saw that the seat next to Tang Kexin was vacant, so I didn't think much about it, and walked over and sat down.

Tang Kexin was expressionless and looked out the window.

Ding Weiwei, who was sitting in the back, had a crooked nose!

At the same time, there are some regrets in my heart.

He wanted to sit with the goddess, but he never had the courage.

I didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned that he actually sat with the goddess.

"Zhang Xiaoqiang!" Liu Wenwen looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang in surprise: "What are you doing in the car, do you think we are going on an outing? We are going to participate in the competition, why don't you get off the bus quickly!"
