The stove at home was removed, the plastic sheeting used to keep warm on the windows was also removed, and Liang Zhenhua and Chen Suyun cooperated to clean the windows inside and out.

"This piece, the point on the left, there is a point, do you see?" Chen Suyun yelled at the glass in the room.

Liang Zhenhua shouted outside through the glass: "That's inside, right?" I wiped it on the outside, and I couldn't rub it off. ”

"How is it possible, I've wiped it here several times......"

The two husbands and wives were noisy, Gu Zhen and Grandma Liang sat on the edge of the kang to pick soybeans, and it was about to start spring, Liang Zhenhua didn't know where to find a stone mill, so he had to grind tofu.

Chen Suyun gave Gu Zhen the job of picking beans, and also invited Grandma Liang to be the supervisor.

Gu Zhen is patient, pick one by one, those muddy, round, complete, yellow and bright good beans are picked together, and the broken or blackened beans are thrown into the basin, and they can be fed to chickens or pigs.

Grandma Liang is rare Gu Zhen is not here for nothing, looking at Gu Zhenzai's careful and unhurried appearance, Grandma Liang likes it from the bottom of her heart, how flexible such a little girl is.

Gu Zhen lowered his head, holding beans in his hand, thinking about other things in his head.

Chen Suyun finished wiping the glass and watched the whole room light up, not to mention how happy he was.

Winter in the north always gives people a depressing feeling, the streets are quiet, and it is not very warm to be wrapped in thick clothes, and heating around the stove is the best pastime.

So the meaning of spring is particularly joyful.

Chen Suyun hummed a little song, rummaged through the sugar, and drank a cup of sweet soy milk later, and the day was hot.

"Huh?" Chen Suyun found something in the cabinet and suddenly smiled: "Zhenzhen, look at what I found?" ”

Gu Zhen put down the soybeans in his hand, clapped his hands, took a few pages from Chen Suyun's hand, and looked at them fixedly.

"This is the receipt for your tuition after studying for so many years, I have saved it all, and when you finish college and find a good job, you will have to reimburse me in the future!"

After Chen Suyun gave Gu Zhen a brief look, he reached out to take it, but Gu Zhen grabbed it and smiled flatteringly: "Mom, I want to keep these for myself as a souvenir." ”

Chen Suyun raised her eyebrows and joked, "Do you want to repay the debt?" ”

Gu Zhen looked at the three tuition receipts for the three years of high school, as well as Wang Danian's name written on them, and shook his head gently: "I really need it." ”

Chen Suyun saw that Gu Zhen wanted it so much, and gave her all her brains, in Chen Suyun's heart, she never regarded Gu Zhen's studies as an investment, she just simply supported Gu Zhen to do what she wanted to do.

Liang Zhenhua came in from outside and rubbed his hands: "It looks warm this day, but it's actually quite cold." ”

Chen Suyun picked up the pot and poured a large cup of hot water into the teapot and handed it to him: "Quickly warm up your hands, I will count on your hand to grind tofu in a while!" ”

Liang Zhenhua took it and took a sip: "It's so hot!" ”

Chen Suyun smiled and poured a new packet of sugar into the sugar jar.

Gu Zhen put the receipt away and looked at the calendar, it's almost over, there are still two months, and everything here should be over.

Gu Zhen took the dried tofu that Chen Suyun cooked for her and returned to the training class, Cheng Xiaolei came earlier than Gu Zhen, with his head down and studying a physics problem, scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, which seemed to be very tricky.

Gu Zhen took out a few pieces of dried tofu and stuffed it to him, Chen Suyun wiped the pot with pork, dried the tender tofu, smeared it with salt, boiled it on an iron pot, and slowly dried it over low heat, becoming a snack that can be eaten at any time and is easy to carry.

Cheng Xiaolei grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and nodded again and again: "It's delicious!" Gu Zhen turned sideways to look at the physics question, it was she who used her mobile phone to find the teacher of Shenbei, a famous teacher who is also one of the members of the college entrance examination question group, and published an extended question in the workbook, which can be imagined to be quite difficult.

Cheng Xiaolei suddenly thought of something, put the dried bean curd aside, grabbed the pen to write, and didn't have time to wipe it with his hands.

Gu Zhen was deeply grateful, Cheng Xiaolei's ranking in these exams has risen sharply, relying on the explanation of the famous teacher Gu Zhen found for him, and even more thanks to Cheng Xiaolei's own efforts.

Xu Guanghua suddenly appeared at the back door and shouted, "Gu Zhen, you come out." Gu Zhen put down the dried beans, thought about it and picked up another piece, and followed Xu Guanghua to the office.

"Teacher Xu, this is what my mother made, you can taste it." Gu Zhen handed it over, Xu Guanghua didn't treat Gu Zhen as an outsider, wrapped it in newspaper, and put it away.

"Thank you, Gu Zhen." Xu Guanghua paused, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"I came to you this time to talk about your achievements."

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xu Guanghua looked at Gu Zhen with no expression, indifferent look, and he was anxious for her: "The grades of all the students in our class have improved greatly after the intensive training, far exceeding those students who are still studying in the original school...... Including, Cheng Xiaolei, you know best what kind of person he used to be, right? ”

Gu Zhen nodded: "How did he do in the exam this time?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Guanghua was led astray by Gu Zhen, took out the transcript of the third exam, shook his head and said in disbelief: "He has actually been admitted to the top 1,000...... We are ranked 12th in our class......"

Xu Guanghua frowned and asked tentatively: "Did he plagiarize?" ”

"Don't you see how hard he works every day? For more than three months, he really worked hard for three years. ”

Gu Zhen unconsciously spoke for Cheng Xiaolei.

Xu Guanghua nodded himself: "Yes, I also think it is impossible for him to plagiarize, after all, you have a good relationship with him, if he copies, he can only copy you, but...... Look at the score you got is not as high as Cheng Xiaolei. ”

Xu Guanghua was surrounded by Gu Zhen for a while, and finally remembered the topic again: "Except for composition, you didn't answer the question seriously at all, right?" ”

If it weren't for the purpose of writing a model essay for Cheng Xiaolei to see, Gu Zhen actually wouldn't even be going to write an essay. Gu Zhen's silence made Xu Guanghua unpredictable, and he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Zhen continued to be silent, if she really said her thoughts, I am afraid that Xu Guanghua would jump to her feet directly.

Xu Guanghua felt that what he said, whether it was heavy or light, was like hitting cotton, and Gu Zhen's attitude made him puzzled.

"Look, it's your success."

Xu Guanghua specially made a table for Gu Zhen, and he pointed to the data analysis: "Before enrolling, in the final exam of the second year of high school, you ranked first in the township in terms of total score, and several nearby towns also ranked in the top three...... Since the mid-term exam, I have been declining, and the results of several preliminary exams have not been satisfactory, and if this continues, others will say that I can't even get into the university of the first teacher in the township! ”

Xu Guanghua looked at Gu Zhen's indifferent appearance, and he was even more anxious, he suddenly had a bold idea: "You don't want to take the university entrance examination, right?" ”

Gu Zhen blinked, not knowing whether to admit or deny.

After such a hesitation, Xu Guanghua knew, and his heart was cold: "What happened......

"I'm sorry." Gu Zhen was grateful to Xu Guanghua for caring about her, but what she decided would not waver.

"I have my own decision, and if my decision does not match your expectations, then all I can say is, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The only thing that Gu Zhen did not disappoint Xu Guanghua was that her essay would get a high score every time and win a great response, and when her essay was selected for the journal, she was very determined to fill in Xu Guanghua's name in the column of the instructor.

After that, Cheng Xiaolei worked harder and harder, and entered the top ten in the class in the fourth exam, and even sometimes Gu Zhen didn't understand what Cheng Xiaolei worked so hard for, and he seemed to have his own secrets in his heart.

Since it was a secret, Gu Zhen didn't have so much curiosity to pierce it, just like locking one door after another in his heart.

After repeating the high school course, the intensive training class officially started the sprint stage, Cheng Xiaolei finally couldn't hold it anymore, had a high fever, was picked up by Cheng Xiaoyan, and didn't come back for a few days.

Gu Zhen was a little worried in his heart, so he asked for leave to see him? I feel inappropriate, in the final analysis, I am just his 'master', although the two people seem to be close in the past few months, the boundaries are also very clear.

Gu Zhen couldn't help it, but Xu Guanghua could see that Gu Zhen was absent-minded, she was always staring at a thick book of exercises in a daze, and then stuffed the exercises into Cheng Xiaolei's desk hole.

When Gu Zhen was not in the classroom, he went to look through those exercises, and it was not difficult to see that it was Gu Zhen's handwriting, but this question ...... It's a very high level.

This is Gu Zhen's question to Cheng Xiaolei?

Xu Guanghua's jaw was about to fall in surprise, he didn't want to be admitted to university with such a level, and then silently became a 'private teacher' for Cheng Xiaolei......

Could it be that Xu Guanghua was wrong, it was not Cheng Xiaolei who chased Gu Zhen in vain, but Gu Zhen fell in love with Cheng Xiaolei?

Xu Guanghua found that he had seen a lot of people who were not enterprising, but Gu Zhen was the first time he had seen someone like him, who was willing to be ordinary.

Gu Zhen's workbook added a thick pile, Cheng Xiaolei finally came back, his eyes were red, and he coughed a little, and even Gu Zhen felt that he had lost weight, I don't know if it was an illusion.

Cheng Xiaolei came in from the back door of the classroom, didn't cause much movement, and sat quietly in his seat, he checked his desk hole for the first time, then laughed and looked at Gu Zhen.

"Same as I thought."

Gu Zhen was a little nervous, didn't dare to look at his face, and pretended to be careless: "What's the same?" ”

"You'll just stuff questions into my desk, but you won't even come to my house to see me."

Cheng Xiaolei said pitifully, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, I don't know if he wanted to hide something.

"Why am I going to see you? It's just a fever, and you can't die. ”

"Yes, I slept at home for a few days, and my sister made me a lot of delicious food, not only did I not die, but I was still alive...... Ahem"

Cheng Xiaolei said too quickly, causing a violent cough, and his face flushed because of lack of oxygen, Gu Zhen reluctantly handed over the water cup: "Do you want to drink some hot water?" ”

Cheng Xiaolei smiled: "When I had a fever, I dreamed of you, just like now." ”
