Time passed quietly, the grass on the ridges of the fields turned yellow and withered, the millet in the rice fields had been harvested, the fields left stubble heads, and the corners of the fields were piled up with high haystacks. Those are prepared for the coming spring, ploughed the fields, burned the ashes from the haystacks, composted the fields, and then carried out a new round of cultivation.

The weather is getting cooler by the day. Now when I go out in the morning, the breath turns into frost, and when the frost falls, I can hear the creaking sound when I step on the hard ridges of the frost.

When Yulan went out, Yumei wrapped her in four or five layers on the left layer after layer. Yulan took advantage of her sister's inattention and secretly took off her sweater.

In the past few months, she has traveled back and forth between home and school every day, consciously exercising, and secretly practicing yoga when she got up in the morning, so she has a good physique and is not afraid of the cold at all. In addition, I was fighting with my classmates at school, and I was moving around all day, so it was easy to sweat. I'm afraid that if I wear too much sweat, I will be prone to catching a cold.

Yumei didn't notice Yulan's small movements, she was pouring hot water into the glass infusion bottle.

This is to be used as a hand warmer for Magnolia, and I will carry it along the way, and when I get to school, I will go to the kitchen to replace the cold water with new hot water, and I can continue to keep warm.

Yulan waved goodbye to her family, and Xiao Yuzhu staggered behind her, stretching out her little hand to hug her.

Thanks to Yulan, she came to her as soon as she got out of school, told her stories, and sang nursery rhymes, so Yuzhu was very dependent on this young lady. As soon as she saw Yulan's figure appear, she would stretch out her hands and pose in a gesture of begging for a hug, and her cute appearance made Yulan's heart soften, and she couldn't wait to pack the little guy away.

Yumei handed the glass bottle full of hot water to Yulan, bent down and took Yuzhu away, this Nier would cry heartbreakingly every time she saw Yulan go, she couldn't coax her, and it was scary.

Yulan turned around and saw Yumei carrying her little sister into the room, picking up her schoolbag and running quickly.

Turning the col, several partners from the same village were already waiting there.

As soon as they saw Magnolia appear, several people's eyes lit up.

Magnolia smiled, in this year of poor entertainment, listening to stories can be regarded as rare fun.

She chose to tell her friends stories on the way to and from school, Arabic fairy tales, One Thousand and One Nights, Grimm fairy tales. Those lengthy words become vivid stories when they reach Yulan's mouth, and each story will be interspersed with some simple and easy-to-understand small truths.

Magnolia's original intention in telling stories is to hope that the life philosophy behind those stories can plant a seed in the hearts of these partners, maybe they are still ignorant now, and one day, those seeds will be able to take root and sprout. These philosophies and principles can be the guiding light on the way forward in their lives.

She has always felt that her previous life was confused, just because she knew too little, and no one told her about these things. And now, in the face of these partners who are as confused as herself in her previous life, she hopes that she can do what she can, and always hopes that their lives can take fewer detours.

The companions couldn't understand Magnolia's hard work at this time. At this time, they just felt that the story told by Yulan was twists and turns, and it was extraordinarily exciting. However, to their regret, often a story has not been heard, and the road has come to an end.

Hearing Yulan say, I will tell you the ending after school, and my little friend feels scratched my heart and lungs, and I can't wait for time to stand still from now on, and pull it out of Yulan's mind from the ending first.

Yulan ignored their grievances, and when she walked into the classroom, she could still feel the eager gaze coming from behind her.

As the end of the semester approaches, the learning atmosphere in the classroom begins to become tense, and everyone is working hard for the final exam.

Yulan's results in each unit exam have always been firmly in the first place in the grade, so Yulan is not nervous at all in the final exam.

Chen Dong'er had a deep resentment, she wondered, it's not that she is not diligent, she spends no less time studying than others, the same listening to lectures and writing homework, why are other people's grades so good, but her grades are so poor.

Xu Meng grinned happily when she heard Chen Dong'er's complaints, and she mercilessly made up for Chen Dong'er's fragile heart, "Don't you know that there is a thing called talent?"

After this semester, the friendship between Yulan, Chen Donger and Xu Meng has grown by leaps and bounds, so when she heard Xu Meng say such things, Chen Donger could only sigh.

Yulan's grades are good, Chen Donger's grades are poor, and Xu Meng is not up or down, and she is in the middle. Yulan had no choice but to use the recess time to make up lessons for Chen Dong'er, and Xu Meng was on the side to listen.

Xu Meng's comprehension is better than Chen Dong'er, she can understand what the teacher says in class, but it is not thorough enough, and Yulan will help the two consolidate it according to her own logical thinking. So often Yulan has talked about it once, she already understands, and Chen Donger is still pulling her hair, as if she understands it.

There's also an episode in this.

When Yulan gave Chen Dong'er a lecture, a girl named Mao Zhenzhen, who had been at odds with Yulan, mocked her: "It's only been a few days since I went to school, so I dare to learn from the teacher to give lectures to others, see what you can endure, cut, vanity!"

Yulan always felt that she was a pseudo-Lori, and it was a bully to deal with children, so she ignored it directly.

Yulan didn't want to care, but Chen Dong'er was not a master who was willing to suffer, and the two quarreled on the spot.

Chen Dong'er crossed her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Yulan told me and didn't tell you, what's in your way?"

Mao Zhenzhen said: "I can't get used to seeing her shameless." will only shoot rich people's sycophants, sycophants!"

Speaking of rich people, he also looked at Chen Dong'er meaningfully, meaning that Yulan was patting Chen Dong'er's ass.

Chen Dong'er was speechless, what is this?

To put it bluntly, Mao Zhenzhen was actually jealous of Chen Dong'er's kindness to Yulan.

Chen Dong'er's family background ranks first in the class, and he also belongs to the kind of family background in the village.

Mao Zhenzhen coveted Chen Dong'er's beautiful clothes, as well as all kinds of snacks and snacks that change every day.

But Chen Dong'er's generosity is not for everyone, the only person in the whole class who can make Chen Dong'er look at him differently is Yulan, and later there is another Xu Meng.

Mao Zhenzhen really wanted to join Chen Dong'er's small gang of three, but Yulan was cold, Chen Dong'er was arrogant, Xu Meng was arrogant, and no one could intervene in the Iron Triangle, so she mocked Yulan angrily.

In fact, Mao Zhenzhen has always focused on Chen Dong'er, so she didn't realize that this iron triangle in her eyes has actually always been Yulan's dominant position. If she had started from Yulan, maybe Chen Dong'er would have accepted her a long time ago, just like Xu Meng.

Xu Meng is good to Yulan because she is good, so Chen Donger is good to her.

And Mao Zhenzhen didn't know this, thinking that Yulan was a soft persimmon, so she chose to provoke, which greatly offended Chen Dong'er, causing her to be untreated by Chen Dong'er throughout her elementary school career.

Mao Zhenzhen looked at Chen Dong'er speechless, and became even more reasonable: "I'm all for your good, Chen Yulan is going to mislead people's children, don't be taught by her more and more wrong, there will be no place to cry when the time comes!"

Chen Dong'er was angry, "Come on, I don't need you to be so good." If you want to be wrong, you will also mistake me, I am willing, can you manage it?"

Yulan pulled Chen Dong'er, who was so angry that she blushed and had a thick neck, and asked her not to waste her tongue with irrelevant people, but Chen Dong'er refused to back down, and she had to argue with Mao Zhenzhen.

The two of them quarreled like cockfighting, but Mr. Miao made the two dumb up in a few words.

Teacher Miao said: "Yulan has done a good job. If you can make the knowledge taught by the teacher your own and tell it in your own way, then it means that you have memorized this knowledge point, which is very good. I hope there will be more teachers like Yulan in the class. ”

Chen Dong'er gained the upper hand, glanced at Mao Zhenzhen triumphantly, and then continued to listen to Yulan lecture to her refreshedly.

Usually Yulan speaks softly, but after Mao Zhenzhen preached it, everyone knew it, and listened to the knowledge points that Yulan told Chen Donger again, which was simple and easy to understand, much more vivid than what the teacher said, so more and more people listened.

Later, as soon as Yulan gave Chen Dong'er a lecture, a circle of people surrounded her, and in the middle of the circle were Yulan and Chen Dong'er, which became a scene in the class.

The days passed quietly, and in the tense learning atmosphere, Yulan finally ushered in the final exam.

Before starting the exam, Yulan told Chen Dong'er and Xu Meng, "The exam is nothing more than the knowledge points in the books, as well as the extended knowledge points that the teacher talked about in class. ”

It was Yulan's confident appearance that made Chen Dong'er and Xu Meng quickly calm down, and they performed exceptionally in the exam, achieved good results, and were praised by the teacher, which made Yulan shine again.

After the exam, there was nothing to do, the report card was not available until next week, and the students began to pack their things and prepare to go home.

From this day on, it will be considered the start of winter vacation.

Chen Dong'er didn't have the burden of the exam, the whole person was like a wild horse out of the gate, very happy, she invited Yulan to her house as a guest.

Yulan hesitated a little, and finally couldn't stand Chen Dong'er's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and saw that it was still early, so she agreed.

Chen Dong'er's house is very close to the school, it is a small western-style building with white walls and black tiles, and the style of the building can glimpse the prototype of the villa in later generations.

The small western-style building has a total of three floors.

On the first floor is the storefront, with a long glass counter facing the main entrance, and two sewing machines standing side by side on the left side of the counter. On the right side of the counter, there are neatly arranged cloth of various colors, and there are many colors of cloth; behind the counter is a long table used as a workbench, on which are disorderly placed tape measures, scissors, chalk, irons, and other things; under the counter, some corner rags left over from the sewing process are stuffed haphazardly, half in snakeskin bags, half piled on the concrete floor; on the wall behind the workbench are hung all kinds of made sheets and curtains; and on the wall opposite the sewing machine are hung various colors of women's ready-to-wear.

A one-metre-wide aisle between the sewing machine and the garment leads straight to the back.

Magnolia glanced at the ready-to-wear hanging on the wall, dresses, pants, and shirts, and the style was very in line with the characteristics of this era.
