When Jiang Lingzhi returned home, it was already completely dark.

The marshmallows have long been eaten, and the bamboo sticks have been destroyed. If her mother knew that she was eating junk food outside, it would inevitably be another nag.

The door was opened with a key and the whole living room was bright and spacious.

Jiang Lingzhi changed her shoes in the entrance and walked in with her schoolbag.

Hearing the movement, Lu Yuping got up and walked over from the living room and pointed to the pendulum on the wall: "Zhizhi, why is it so late today, see for yourself, what time is it?" ”

School ended at 5:20, and now it's half past seven.

Jiang Lingzhi rubbed over and shook Lu Yuping's arm: "Mom, I accidentally sat down and walked a long way." ”

She hasn't let adults worry about it since she was a child, as long as she is coquettish, Lu Yuping can't do anything about her, and her voice softened: "Didn't you let you take a taxi, you kid, go wash your hands and eat." ”

"Oh." Jiang Ling agreed, put down her schoolbag and went to the bathroom.

After washing his hands, Jiang Lingzhi sat down at the dining table, dried his hands with a paper towel, and asked in the direction of the kitchen, "Where's Dad?" ”

Today, the house seems to be exceptionally quiet, and the TV in the living room is still playing, making a slight sound, which is even quieter.

Lu Yuping brought the food to the table: "Your dad has been busy lately, and he can't pick you up after school during this time, you should pay attention to yourself, just wait for the car to be repaired in the next few days, and Uncle Chen will be able to pick you up." ”

Jiang Lingzhi nodded, thought about it, and discussed tentatively: "Mom, I think it's okay for me to go home alone in the future." ”

Lu Yuping didn't want to refuse directly: "How can it be done, how unsafe it is to go home alone!" Didn't you see those reports on the news? ”

"Those traffickers, thugs, love to pick on lonely female students!"

Jiang Lingzhi: "......"

In the first round, defeated.

Jiang Lingzhi tapped his fingertips on the glass, trying to make a final effort: "But my classmates also went home by themselves, you can't always treat me like a child, and it's not good for me to go home by myself these days......

Lu Yuping held a rag in her hand, leaned out half of her body and glanced at her from the kitchen: "You are sixteen years old, do you think you are very big?" Besides, what time do you get home today? ”

“……”

Jiang Ling was speechless.

In the second round, he lost miserably.

The uprising failed, and she could no longer raise any interest in talking.

After dinner, Jiang Ling screwed her schoolbag listlessly and walked upstairs: "Mom, I'll go back to my room to do my homework." ”

Lu Yuping told her while cleaning up the dining table: "Remember to practice the piano, it's about to be a competition, you can't take it lightly at this time." ”

"Got it."

Back in the room, Jiang Lingzhi took a shower and changed into clean home clothes, sat in front of the piano, and began to practice basic skills every day.

It was nearly ten o'clock after an hour of piano practice, and it was pitch black outside the window, accompanied by the chirping of insects on a summer night.

Jiang Lingzhi rubbed his eyes, sat at the desk, took out the test paper from his schoolbag and began to write his homework.

There are three other language subjects, one test paper for each subject, and various review questions are also brushed.

After writing all the test papers, it was already past the early hours of the morning.

Jiang Lingzhi checked it again one last time to confirm that nothing was missing, so he put the things back in his schoolbag, rubbed his sore wrist and planned to go to sleep.

She lay down on the bed, turned off the bedside lamp, was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, and suddenly thought of something, and turned the bedside lamp back on.
