"What's this...... Oh, watermelon, where did it come from. As he spoke, he nibbled on the piece of watermelon in his hand at great speed, and picked up another piece.

At this time, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin had already washed their hands, and were sitting on the chairs waiting with greed. Grandpa Chen picked up the cut watermelon on the board and brought it to the dining table, "Come, Xiaoxi, Binbin, eat watermelon." He put the basket in his hand on the table and beckoned to Xiaoxi and Binbin. I also took a piece of watermelon, sat down, and began to taste it.

"Yesterday afternoon, it wasn't the cow you went to graze, you didn't go for a long time, and a tricycle came, pulling a cart of peaches, which came to sell peaches. Granny Chen nodded, there is indeed such a thing, didn't my wife buy a few catties of peaches yesterday.

"The boss, I originally bought this watermelon to go back and eat it myself, but I saw such a strange thing, we didn't eat it, so I bought it from him. "Oh, Granny Chen continued to nod. Grandpa Chen glanced at her heavily, and said solemnly: "This watermelon is just such a one, it was originally bought by the boss to eat it himself, but I bought it back, don't you go around preaching, how can the boss come to our village to do business in the future, ah!"

"Well, I know, I know. "This stinky old man, doesn't it mean that he has a lot of mouths, where is he talking too much, really. Ignore him anymore, and continue to eat watermelon, saying that he has never eaten such a delicious fruit.

Xiaoxi gave his grandfather a thumbs up, and said secretly, his grandfather is really powerful, and he fooled his mother-in-law in a few words.

Seeing his granddaughter give him a thumbs up, Grandpa Chen raised his head and made a "hum" sound in his nostrils, very proud. He knew what this thumb meant, and his granddaughter had taught him that it meant "amazing, amazing".

So, the summer vacation was spent in eating, drinking, and playing with Xiaoxi and his younger brother, and it was mid-August in a blink of an eye.

The closer I got to school, the more irritable Xiaoxi became, as if something had been forgotten.

This day is as usual, after the lunch break, go to the old yard to play.

"Xiaojuan, are you in the same class as me?" Chen Yubin was asking Zhao Juan about the textbook for the second grade in Guangdong.

"It's not the same. "She'd read Xiaoxi's second-grade textbook and knew it was different.

"Huh, what then? No, can you be in the same grade as us?"

"When I came back, my mother said that I should stay one level, and she was afraid that I would not be able to keep up. ”

That's right, that's it, repeating a grade, how did I forget about it.

"Xiaojuan, you want to repeat a grade, what about your brother? Does he repeat a grade?" Chen Yubin continued to ask.

"He doesn't stay. ”

"Why?" Chen Yubin was surprised.

"yes, why?"

"Because he didn't want to repeat a grade himself, he didn't repeat a grade. ”

"And you want to repeat a grade?" asked Brook.

Zhao Juan was very annoyed, pinching the corners of her clothes, "I don't want to either, but the textbooks we learn are different, if I don't repeat the grade and read it again, it is estimated that I will not be able to keep up with it by then." ”

"Your brother is not afraid, what are you afraid of. Xiaoxi continued to encourage, "Besides, how do you know you can't do it if you don't try." "Moreover, if you repeat a grade, won't you be one grade lower than Binbin? ”

Zhao Juan looked suddenly realized, "Yes, if I repeat a grade, won't I be one grade lower than Binbin, and he is still one year younger than me, ah......"

Chen Yubin stuck out his tongue proudly and grimaced at Zhao Juan. made Zhao Juan very depressed.

Looking at the two of them speechlessly, Xiaoxi paused, thinking of one thing, "Also, didn't you say it before, you won't repeat a grade." ”

Zhao Juan was a little embarrassed, and said, "That was a long time ago." ”

Xiaoxi still remembers that it was more than a year ago in winter, and several old ladies gathered in the old yard, cutting radish slices and chatting.

In winter, everyone will wash the excess white radish, cut it into thin slices, slice the bamboo into thin strips, and then wear the radish slices into a string and hang them under the eaves to dry the dried radish, which is delicious like spring and summer stew.

"Then whose grandson is very poor in learning, he is a plague pig (poor in learning), and he plans to stay in another level. ”

"Really?"

"Didn't you stay one level? Why do you want to keep one level again?"

"Poor study!"

At this time, Xiaoxi and the three of them came back, and they just bumped into each other, so they said, "Xiaoxi Xiaojuan, do you want to repeat the grade?"

These studies are pediatric for themselves, okay, Xiaoxi said lightly: "Don't repeat grades." ”

Zhao Juan raised her head and said unceremoniously: "Cut, I won't repeat the grade, the repeater is the only one who can do it." "In the final exam of kindergarten, Zhao Juan did well, so her qi is so strong.

Zhao Juan took a long breath, "But what can I do, my mother asked me to repeat the grade." ”

Xiaoxi asked suspiciously: "Your mother asked your brother to repeat the grade, and your brother's opposition was successful, why didn't you object?"

"I told my mom too, but she still wanted me to repeat a grade. Zhao Juan was very depressed and a little sad. My brother didn't agree to repeat the grade, so they didn't say anything more, but as soon as they didn't agree, they were annoyed like that.

Why did Xiaojuan's mother insist that she repeat a grade...... Ah, right. Xiaoxi grabbed Zhao Juan's arm next to him, "Xiaojuan, I have a way." ”

Zhao Juan was so frightened by her that she was so caught, she hurriedly raised her head, and quickly lowered herself.

Xiaoxi hurriedly raised Xiaoxi's head lightly and asked anxiously, "Xiaojuan, what's wrong with you, why are you crying?"

"Wow......" Zhao Juan wiped her tears while crying, "Xiaoxi, I'...... My Mom, Why...... I must stay...... Repeat a grade...... I don't want to repeat a grade, ah...... She doesn't ...... Trust me, wow......"

Xiaoxi hurriedly wiped her tears, patted her back, and comforted: "Xiaojuan, your mother is mainly afraid that your grades will not be able to keep up, and you will be tired by then." ”

Seeing that she was still sobbing, Xiaoxi said helplessly: "Okay, don't cry, besides, I have thought of a way." ”

Zhao Juan stared at a pair of red eyes, looked at Xiaoxi, and asked, "What way?"

"Haha...... Rabbit. Chen Yubin pointed to Zhao Juan's eyes and said excitedly.

"You...... Hum. Zhao Juan's eyes widened, her cheeks puffed out, and she looked at Chen Yubin angrily.

Xiaoxi hurriedly separated the two, "Okay. Xiaojuan, your mother asked you to repeat a grade, isn't it because I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch up, in this way, isn't there more than ten days left to leave school now, I will teach you the textbook of the second grade to ensure that you will not fall behind. ”

Zhao Juan was a little skeptical, "Huh, are you okay?"

Xiaoxi snorted, and said publicly: "Why can't you do it?" pointed to himself, said "famous teacher", and pointed to Zhao Juan and said "out of the high apprentice".

"Poof, how can anyone boast about himself like this, don't be ashamed. Zhao Juan said angrily.

Chen Yubin scratched his face and said with a smile: "Shame, carry a on one side and a urine on the other." Brook smiled and slapped him twice to show her displeasure.

In the end, Xiaoxi persuaded Zhao Juan not to consider repeating the grade, and spent the last ten days studying the second-grade textbook with herself, of course, she didn't tell her parents about it, and her grandfather didn't tell it, because he didn't care.

Xiaoxi has made a study schedule, just Chinese and math, and math is very simple. So in the past ten days, Xiaoxi has let her practice all the exercises in the math book, yes, most of the time. The language has gone through it roughly, and the language at this stage mainly stays on literacy, which needs to be accumulated over time, and it is necessary to memorize it slowly.

In the end, Xiaoxi found her final exam paper, copied the questions, and asked her to answer them all as she memorized. Yes, 65 and 76 in Chinese, 81 and 87 in mathematics. Having said that, language is something that will accumulate over time.

After Xiaoxi corrected the test papers, she corrected the mistakes, and then said: "It's very good, it's only been a few days, you did well in the exam, and then review the books, mainly Chinese, these new words take a lot of time to remember." You get up every morning, open your Chinese textbook, memorize ten new words, read two texts, or you will be able to memorize them all in a few days. ”

Two days before school started, Zhao Juan confessed to her grandfather, and her grandfather didn't say much, just said: "It's good for you to decide, if you can't keep up, you will repeat the grade, and if you can keep up, you will not repeat the grade." However, you and Xiaoxi are still in the same class, there is care, Xiaoxi is smart, and her academic performance is good, when there is anything you don't understand, you can just ask her, with her next to you, you can also get rid of some of your bad problems in learning......"

"Xiaoxi, I told my grandfather that I wouldn't repeat the grade, and he agreed, and said that I would go to the first team to call my mother and them later, and tell them about it. Zhao Juan happily ran to Xiaoxi's house, grabbed Xiaoxi and said excitedly.

Now there are very few people who have a telephone (landline), like Xiaoxi, there is no one in their team to install a telephone. Every time I had to make a phone call, I had to run to the canteen of a team opposite. Also, every time the family members who work outside the home call home, they also call there, and the owner of the group of commissaries will shout across the river: "So-and-so, your son (woman/daughter-in-law...... I'm calling you, I'm coming and answering the phone. "At that time, it really relied on shouting, and the second team basically heard it when it was shouted, because they were all halfway up the mountain, and it didn't take much effort.

Xiaoxi was also very happy when she heard this, "That's good, you have to talk to your parents about this, and besides, if they don't agree, forget it, anyway, the emperor is far away, they are now in Guangdong, they can't control you, and your tuition is already in your grandfather's hands." ”

"Hmm. ”

……

"Xiaoxi, ah......" A person suddenly rushed in from the door, and then hugged Xiaoxi, shaking for a while, "Ah...... Xiaoxi, we will be in the same class again in the future, and my parents and parents agreed. ”

Xiaoxi was also very happy to hear it, his only childhood partner, "That's good, hehe......"

"That's right, Creek. Zhao Juan took out a handful of lollipops from her pocket and stuffed them into Xiaoxi's hand, "I told my mother about you giving me make-up lessons and exams, and my mother said that I want me to thank you well, and let me study hard from you in the future and make progress every day." Pushing Creek's fist forward, "Now, these are your rewards." ”

Xiaoxi put the candy in his pocket and clenched his fists with both hands on martial arts TV, "Oops, you're polite." ”

Then, one of them peeled a piece of candy and stuffed it into their mouths, looked at each other and smiled.

Eventually, the matter was settled.
