The final exams were held for three days, with a two-day break in between, and then it was time to go back to school to listen to the results.

Xiao Yuan's science results are as amazing as ever, smiling proudly, and his liberal arts grades have also improved greatly with his efforts, although there is still a gap between the results of the first echelon of the third year of high school, but in the second echelon, it can be regarded as the upper echelon.

Xiao Yuan is quite satisfied with such a result, although his liberal arts results are not top-notch, but in the future college entrance examination, such results will definitely not hold him back, plus the championship he won in the mathematical modeling competition, it is enough to ensure that his results can be admitted to Jiangzhou University smoothly.

After announcing the results, the head teacher solemnly made a pre-mobilization for all students in the class, and then announced that after the start of school, many courses unrelated to the college entrance examination for senior high school students were canceled, of course, computer classes are also among them, in addition, the weekly weekends of the third year of high school will be changed to monthly weekends, that is, two days off in January, and other weekends are ruthlessly deprived by the school.

The college entrance examination is coming soon, although there are still more than 100 days left, but the change of the third year of high school work and rest system has made all students smell some of the tension before the college entrance examination, and surprisingly no one is dissatisfied with the school depriving them of rest time.

Then the head teacher announced the winter vacation arrangement, the time from today, to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the seventh official class, of course, this school start time is also specifically for the third year of high school students, the first and second year of high school students are still according to the normal time, after the Lantern Festival, to the seventeenth day of the first month.

Xiao Yuan packed up his things, left the school with Jiang Hua, and walked home.

"Xiao Yuan, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, Jiang Hua was also going to celebrate the New Year, so naturally he couldn't continue to stay in Nanzhou.

"I wish you a Happy New Year in advance." Xiao Yuan said with an indifferent smile, and then said gratefully, "Thank you, Jiang Hua." ”

Jiang Hua naturally knew where Xiao Yuan's thank you came from, but he didn't say anything polite like no thanks, but continued: "After the New Year, I won't come." ”

and Jiang Hua classmates for a few months, they can be said to be inseparable for more than two months, Xiao Yuan has long forgotten Jiang Hua's bodyguard identity, and completely regards him as his good friend, after hearing that he left, he will never come back, his mood is agitated, the bicycle stopped, staring at the delicate face, feeling that he needs to say something, but in the end it turned into a sentence: "Can we still meet in the future?" ”

"Of course you can, don't forget, now we're partners." Jiang Hua said with a smile.

"That's good, I think you're a bit mysterious, I've known you for so long, and I still don't know anything about your origins, thinking that after you're gone, I'll never see you again." Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Gone, it's all men, don't mother-in-law." Jiang Hua rode on the car and said.

"Who's mother-in-law's, I'm sorry that this kind of days of going in and out with bodyguards are gone forever." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"You just have a hard mouth." Jiang Hua said.

"Come to my house for dinner at noon, it's been so long, you haven't eaten at my house yet." Xiao Yuan said.

"No, I have something to do in a while, let's wait for the evening, let's find a place in the evening, you can just have a meal." Jiang Hua said.

"Why should I invite you?" Xiao Yuan asked.

"I'm your bodyguard, I've been obligated to protect you for so long, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

"Okay, okay, I'll invite you to dinner, don't look at me with that bitter and hateful gaze, as if I am some kind of exploiting class."

"That's pretty much it."

"By the way, in a few days, I will have a birthday, and it is my eighteenth birthday when I officially enter adulthood, which means a lot, do you want to give me a birthday gift?"

"Hey, how can anyone celebrate a birthday and openly ask for a birthday gift, I'm very poor, and I can't give you anything valuable."

"As the saying goes, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, the gift is light and heavy, I have a birthday, you can't give nothing, right?"

"Alright then, I'll go to the countryside this afternoon and give you a birthday present."

"Why are you giving me a gift, going to the country?"

"Don't you want goose feathers, we are here in the city, where are the geese, I have to find them for you in the countryside."

“……”

…………

Xiao Yuan didn't invite Cheng Jiang Hua to dinner in the end, because in the afternoon, Jiang Hua came to him and told him that he needed to leave early because of temporary matters, and before leaving, he gave Xiao Yuan a rectangular box, saying that it was a birthday gift for Xiao Yuan.

After sending Jiang Hua away, Xiao Yuan opened the box, the first thing that caught his eye was a small white box without any handwriting, Xiao Yuan picked up the small box curiously, but after opening it, he found that the contents made Xiao Yuan couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Yuan, you will be an adult in a few days, the first thing adults should do is to find a woman to end their virginity, as a person who has come over, I solemnly remind you that you should also pay attention to safety drops when you break - buy you a few raincoats in advance as birthday gifts for you, so that you don't get nervous and forget about it, quack."

This is what Jiang Hua wrote on a note in this small box.

"This guy, haha......"

Xiao Yuan smiled and put those covers in his pocket, so that his father would not come in and see it, and he had to explain that if he caused his father's misunderstanding and beat himself, it would be too wronged.

In addition to the small box with the sleeve, there was another thing wrapped in gold velvet cloth in the big box, after Xiao Yuan opened it, he found that it was a dagger about twenty centimeters long with an army-green scabbard, and in addition, like the small box, there was also a note written by Jiang Hua.

"Xiao Yuan, this is a military thorn that I have used for a long time, I will lend it to you as a second birthday gift, without me to protect you, you can use it for self-defense, in addition, you must keep it well, and when we meet next time, if you lose it, I will settle accounts with you."

"I used a dagger as a birthday present, and I borrowed it, the first time I've heard of it." Xiao Yuan pursed his lips, muttered, and then put the dagger on the table, because under the dagger, there was an army-green cloth bag.

Picking up the cloth bag, Xiao Yuan opened it, took out a camouflage shirt from it, and then found a third note inside.

"Xiao Yuan, give you a third gift, this vest is given to you, don't underestimate it, it's a high-tech product, stronger than Wei Xiaobao's vest, originally, I wanted to give you a new one, but I was reluctant, so I had to give you this old one, in addition, before you wear it, it's best to wash it, because I haven't washed it for a month, not to mention that I have used it to do some things that girls can't imagine."

"Damn, this guy is so disgusting to give gifts!"

Xiao Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, but he felt that his nose was a little sour, and his eyes were hot, from the last two gifts, he could feel Jiang Hua's strong brotherhood towards him, as for the first gift, he had already ignored it.

Xiao Yuan folded the vest and received it in the closet, then put the dagger on the vest, closed the cabinet door, and then the corners of his mouth curled, and he whispered: "Thank you, good brother." ”

…………

After the winter vacation, Xiao Yuan gave himself three days off, during these three days, he bought a camera, rode a bicycle, and turned the streets and alleys of Nanzhou again, like a wanderer who had been away from his hometown for a long time, eager to record every corner of the city on film.

Three days later, Xiao Yuan went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a few books in it, and from then on, until the Chinese New Year, except for morning exercises every morning, he never went out again, and spent all his time reading at home.

A few days passed quickly, on the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Xiao Changtian called Xiao Yuan out of the room, and the father and son went to the street together and made a lot of purchases, it was time for the New Year.

In the past, because there were only the two of them at home, Xiao Changtian didn't buy too many things, but this year, he was like a different person, as if the backlog of shopping ** that had been backlogged for many years was released all at once, and there were so many things to buy that Xiao Yuan couldn't stand it.

For example, he bought 20 boxes of wine, half a pig, two whole cow hind legs, and he also bought more than a dozen cigarettes, and he bought a box of 20 yuan of cigarettes, you must know that in 98 years, ordinary people generally used as ration cigarettes, three or five yuan, are considered high-end, not to mention that Xiao Changtian himself does not smoke......

In this New Year's goods purchase, Xiao Yuan borrowed a pedal three wheels from the neighbors and completely became a porter.

This kind of shopping starts in the morning and continues until the sun sets in the west.

Xiao Yuan has never accompanied a woman to go shopping, but today he experienced the huge physical burden brought by a shopaholic to his followers from his father.

Finally finished buying, Xiao Yuan returned the three wheels to the neighborhood, and when he returned home again, he saw his father taking a notebook and a calculator, sitting at a table in the middle of the mountain-like New Year's goods on the first floor, and counting something.

"Dad, you bought so many things, enough for the two of us to eat for more than half a year." Xiao Yuan walked in, looked at the various New Year's goods piled up in the room, and said with a wry smile.

"Do you think these are for you to eat, come and divide them." Xiao Changtian glanced at Xiao Yuan and said.

"Ugh!" Xiao Yuan was stunned, and then asked, "Dad, you bought so many things, and you can't give them away?" ”

"Of course I gave it away, Dad's head has not been shocked by high-voltage electricity, how can I buy so many things to go home, don't I look at them growing hair, don't talk nonsense, help Dad separate these things, and then send them to the neighbors, over the years, our father and son have been helped by the neighborhood, and now that they have money, they have to give something back?" Xiao Changtian said with a smile, and at the same time explained his purpose for buying so many things.

So, in the following time, Xiao Yuan successively acted as a meat cutter, a vegetable worker, a melon seed worker, and so on, and finally acted as a porter again, carrying a big basket on his arm, following behind his father, who was carrying his hands forward, and delivered New Year's goods to the neighbors of Donkey Market Street door to door.

It wasn't until it was dark that it was over, and after returning home again, Xiao Yuan felt that his body was about to fall apart when he was tired, but fortunately, he gave people gifts, and everywhere he went, they were greeted with politeness, praise, and in general, the mood was still very good.

Two more days have passed, Xiao Yuan's birthday is finally coming, after this birthday, he is about to step into the ranks of adults, and thinking that Tang Sa may come over to celebrate his birthday, he is still looking forward to it.

But on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xiao Yuan waited from morning to noon, and from noon to dinner soon, and he didn't see Tang Sa's shadow, and he didn't even receive a call from Tang Sa.

"Did she forget what she said, or was there something else delayed?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, looking at the gradually darkening sky, and secretly thought to himself.
