Chapter 5 Yinglai Junior High School
After being reborn, Xi Yizheng studied in the second year of junior high school in Yinglai Junior High School. Yinglai Junior High School is a junior high school directly under the Wenlan community. The teaching staff ranks 23rd among the hundreds of junior high schools in Beijing, which belongs to the grade of less than the upper and more than the lower. At that time, Xi Yixiao and Xi Yidi were favored by the top 5 schools in the city after the primary school to junior high school examination, but they were all rejected by them one by one.
Xi Yixiao originally chose Yinglai, which was closest to home, because he didn't want to go to junior high school and had to get up early and go to school in the dark. Xi Yidi is because the little sister Xi Yizheng can only study in Yinglai, so he also chose Yinglai. This made the teachers of Yinglai Junior High School very happy. Xi Yidi's grades are the same as those of his eldest brother Xi Yixiao, and he never falls below the top three in the grade in every exam. What's more, he is a member of the martial arts delegation of the Beijing Youth Group. Since the third grade of primary school, he has often represented the city in various martial arts competitions, and there are more than a dozen large and small awards. Such an all-honor student is the object sought after by every school. As a result, he himself chose Yinglai.
Xi Yizheng's grades have always been mediocre, and he has not been admitted to the grade red list since he was a child. However, Xi's parents didn't ask her for anything. In Xi's father's opinion, as long as she remains at the middle level, the college entrance examination can go to college. Girls don't want outstanding grades, just be safe and healthy. And Xi's mother herself was born in a music class, and her grades in cultural classes when she was a child were not very good, so she didn't think she was qualified to ask her daughter how good her grades were. It's a pity that they have been instilling their thoughts in their daughter, but Xi Yizheng can't think of it. has always been inferior to his two older brothers in all aspects, and has gradually formed an introverted personality. The Xi family tried not to do anything with her, but the more this happened, the more Xi Yizheng felt hurt.
Today's Xi Yizheng has forgotten something due to an accident, which is a good phenomenon for the Xi family. Because since the accident, she is cheerful and lively, positive about life, and caring for her family. Subconsciously, they were reluctant to let Xi Yizheng recover her previous memories, for fear that she would remember something again, so as to shrink back to her former introverted and dull nature.
On Monday, Xi Yizheng followed Xi Yidi to school. Because she didn't know her school, her class, or even her seat. I had to ask the little brother to send him to the door of the classroom, and by the way, he pointed out her seat to her.
The second year of junior high school is a learning stage that is not up or down, and it is not the third year of junior high school that is busy with the high school entrance examination, but also the first year of junior high school that is idle and noisy. Students in the second year of junior high school gradually have a calm temperament and begin to learn to silently compare the grades of their classmates around them. Xi Yizheng's class is Class 3 of the second year of junior high school, with 47 students, and her ranking has always belonged to the middle and lower reaches. This month's monthly exam will be scheduled for this week, and the Chinese and English exams will be taken in the afternoon. But Xi Yizheng was not in a hurry at all. English was almost her mother tongue in her last life. Since junior high school, he has been participating in international competitions abroad, and after founding the Xi's Group, he often goes abroad to study or participate in international design competitions as a judge. Her proficiency in English, especially spoken English, is no less than that of the language. Of course, where will the oral test be involved in the second year of junior high school, so after reading a few units of articles to be tested a few times, she left it alone, began to open the language books, and occasionally saw the articles she was interested in, so she calmed down and read them carefully. Several classmates around saw that she was not in a hurry to memorize English words as before, but calmly flipped through the language books, whispering, Xi Yizheng was reading an article, and heard some of it with sharp ears, it was nothing more than a broken braincase, falling into delirium, etc., it turned out that the students in the second year of junior high school don't need to type drafts if they want to scold people. She chuckled, ignoring them.
After the exam, the teacher had just left, and the classroom was full of ghosts and wolves.
"Ah, I'm done. You can only spell out 2 out of 10 words. There are a lot of multiple-choice questions. ”
"Well, don't say it, I'm sure I'm failing."
"It's so hard to read and comprehend Chinese, I don't even know what it means."
In short, it's all about complaining.
Xi Yizheng packed his schoolbag and prepared to go home.
"Xi Yizheng, how did you do in the exam? I think you've done it a long time ago. The girl sitting behind her took the opportunity to sarcastically say a few words to Xi Yizheng. Today is the third time. Xi Yizheng frowned, it was one thing for her to ignore her, but she was not a soft persimmon to be manipulated. If you don't open your mouth, you will say that you are dumb. "It's okay. Won't fail anyway. Xi Yizheng glanced at the other party and dropped a sentence lightly, and then prepared to get up and leave, ignoring the series of "cut" and "hum" sounds behind him.
"Xi Yizheng!" A greeting came from behind him. And it's a male voice.
Xi Yizheng turned his head and looked at the person, but unfortunately he didn't know him. She frowned and stood in place.
"I heard you're badly injured? How's it going. Fan Youmin asked her with a gentle smile.
"Well, it's all right." Xi Yizheng also smiled back at her.
"That's good." Fan Youmin smiled shyly and nodded.
"Fan Fan, why are you here? I just saw Fang Zhe go looking for you. Xi Yidi saw Fan Youmin standing with his little sister from a distance, and asked strangely. Scooped up the schoolbag on Xi Yizheng's back, "It's too heavy, I'll take it." ”
"Oh, I just ran into your sister and had a nice chat with her. Then I'll go first, bye-bye. Fan Youmin said goodbye to their brother and sister, looked at the movements in Xi Yidi's hand, and wanted to say, let me take it. I do. Yes, he does. He knew that he liked Xi Yidi's sister Xi Yizheng, and he liked it for a long time. From the time he went to Xi Yidi's house in the fifth grade of primary school, his sister smiled shyly and washed him an apple, and he would think of her from time to time. It's just that after being promoted to junior high school, Xi Yidi was often recruited for special training, so gradually they didn't often get together anymore. Even the opportunity to take him to see her was less. It's just that every time he sees her, his heartbeat will speed inexplicably, and he knows that he likes her. It's just that she doesn't know.
"Are you tired today?" Xi Yidi looked at her silent sister, thinking that she was very tired.
"It's fine." Xi Yizheng shook his head, "Little brother, who was that just now?" ”
"Oh, he's Fan Youmin, who often came to our house to play when he was a child. Don't you remember? Xi Yidi rubbed her hair, and the hairstyle of the clear soup noodles was on Xi Yizheng's head, making her beautiful face smaller.
"Well, I can't remember." I don't know at all. She sighed inwardly. If the relationship between the ex is simple, it's just that, if there will always be one or two around you from time to time, and you can't name others, it's really embarrassing.
"If you can't think about it, don't think about it, anyway, the doctor said that it will automatically absorb the bruises after a long time." Xi Yidi disagreed, "How did you do in the afternoon?" Alas, I knew that there would be an exam this afternoon, and I would have been back the day before yesterday, and I could make up for you. Yesterday you were cooking a big meal, and you didn't have time to read. Xi Yidi chattered non-stop. Xi Yizheng's head is big, spare her. I don't know that my little brother is more nagging than Xi's mother.
The next two days are the monthly exams for each subject. It didn't end until Wednesday. Then the paper evaluation begins. Everyone secretly checks the answers and ranks themselves.
Xi Yizheng didn't care. On the surface, she sat upright and looked like she was listening carefully to the class, but in fact, her consciousness had already entered the bracelet and drifted everywhere inside. Looking at the thousands of species thriving in the space, it is satisfying.
On Friday, the exam results came out. Class 3 of the second grade of Yinglai Junior High School was boiling. Because Xi Yizheng, who has always ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the class and grade in the exam, scored a total of 433 points in five courses in this monthly exam, ranking 7th in the 3rd class of the second year of junior high school and 53rd in the second grade of junior high school.
But she has tried her best to hide it, for fear that she will do too well in the exam and attract everyone's attention. So in the exam, she didn't answer the questions that needed a little thought, but it was still too eye-catching. She was annoyed in the bottom of her heart. But it didn't make her annoyed for long, her classmates had already thought of various reasons for her, what fell and opened her brain; What sick leave is at home, in fact, it is hard work; What enrolled, cram school, and so on. Accounts differ and opinions vary. It's good that you don't have to make excuses. There is no need to deliberately hide anything in the future. Since she promised her parents that she would not delay her studies, she would do it and try to do her best.
When the school time came, Xi Yidi waited for Xi Yidi at the door of Class 3 of the second year of junior high school on time. When the girls saw the handsome and sunny Xi Yidi, they deliberately shyly passed by him, and a few of the bold ones threw a few winks at him. It's a pity that he patronized his little sister and didn't pay attention to the peach blossoms around him at all. Xi Yizheng teased him funny: "Little brother, as soon as you come, the girls in our class are all out of the nest." "Even the few good students who have always stayed in the classroom until late to review deliberately leave school early, and when they walk out of the classroom door, they also deliberately slow down. Seeing the different squeal look on their arrogant faces, she really wanted to burst into laughter.
"Stinky girl, what are you talking about!" Xi Yidi played it on her head. He had no interest in these contrived little girls at all.
"Am I wrong? Look at you. Xi used his zither to nunu and motioned for him to look ahead. Xi Yidi ignored her ridicule and asked herself: "I heard that you are in the limelight in the class in this exam?" ”
"Well, this monthly exam went well." She nodded casually.
"That's good!" Xi rubbed her hair with a flute. Yes, such a Xi Yizheng is confident and sunny.
Xi Yizheng didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask. She also thinks it's very good, it's good to make the class a little unpopular and create a lively atmosphere for their boring study life.
"Ardine!" Fan Youmin's call came from afar, and the two looked back at him, waiting for him to pant and run close to him.
"Youmin. You're out of class too? Isn't your old class often delayed? Xi Yidi asked curiously. Fan Youmin's homeroom teacher is a well-known class dragger in Yinglai. The more I get out of class and after school, the more energetic I become.
"It's the weekend today, so I didn't delay class." Fan Youmin smiled, and then said to Xi Yizheng: "I heard that you have reached the top 60 in the grade this time, congratulations." "There are 10 classes in the second year of junior high school, and there are about 500 students. The top 60 in the grade are all on the red list. He and Xi Yidi remained in the top 5 of each grade in each monthly exam. In the past, they knew that Xi Yizheng's grades had never been good, so they rarely talked about this topic when they were together. But this time was different, they were really surprised when they saw Xi Yizheng's name on the red list.
Xi Yizheng smiled and nodded at him.
"By the way, what are you going to do tomorrow weekend? Do you want to come out and play? Fan Youmin suggested that he actually wanted to make an appointment with Xi Yizheng. I'm just embarrassed to speak.
"No, Zheng Zheng is going to the training class tomorrow." Xi Yidi directly refused. He hasn't forgotten that Xi Yizheng has to go to the cooking class every Saturday for training, because every Sunday in the future there will be a food feast that he is most looking forward to.
Fan Youmin nodded understandingly. What did he say, how could there be such rapid progress, it turned out that he signed up for cram school on the weekend, no wonder his grades improved by leaps and bounds. Fan Youmin spontaneously gave Xi Yizheng's good results to determine the appropriate reason.
After the three broke up at the school gate, the Xi Yidi brothers and sisters walked home. "Zheng, if your parents know your results, they will definitely be very happy." Xi Yidi grinned and fantasized about his parents' expressions. Xi Yizheng also pursed his lips and smiled. Sure enough, Xi's parents learned about Xi Yizheng's monthly exam, and excitedly said that they would open red wine to celebrate. Xi Yi Zheng has a black line at one end. In the end, she drank two glasses and fell asleep drunk. Before going to bed, she thought of one thing dimly, there were a lot of fruits in the bracelet, and she had time to learn how to make wine. Because the wine bought outside tastes really bad.
This Saturday, I learned Cantonese cuisine and Cantonese dim sum. The teacher is a typical Cantonese person. A mouthful of Cantonese Mandarin makes people laugh when they listen to it. However, he talked about it very carefully, and even talked about how to make Cantonese dim sum for an afternoon. In the end, Xi Yizheng chose an assorted siu mai and completed the class assignment. On the way back, I still went into the Xuan Bang to find the corresponding Cantonese ingredients to take home, and decided to pick a few dishes tonight to practice and officially cook a Cantonese dinner tomorrow.
Xi's father and Xi's mother are typical northerners. Xi's father is in Baoding. Mazu Xi was in the Northeast, and her grandparents came to Beijing to settle down. Therefore, the Xi family usually has a traditional northern cuisine. Only those who go to the restaurant will choose to taste other local specialties. Now, after Xi Yizheng participated in the cooking training class, he made them different food every week, and they were of course very happy. As a result, every Sunday became a dinner day for the whole family of five. Even Xi Yixiao, who has always come back from time to time after college, has appeared at home on time every Sunday since he tasted the seafood dinner for the first time.
"Well, Zheng, your craftsmanship is really good!" That night, Xi's father tasted authentic Cantonese dishes contentedly, and praised a few bites from time to time.
"That's, don't look at whose daughter it is!" Xi's mother said shyly, "Last time, I brought some small snacks made of Zheng to school, and those teachers knew that they were made of Zheng, and they gave a thumbs up again and again, saying that they were comparable to famous chefs in big hotels!" ”
"Zheng, next time I will train you to make me something to eat. The food there is so monotonous that I'm tired of eating. Xi Yidi fought for more benefits for himself while eating.
Xi Yizheng nodded, "Okay, I'm trying to make some Cantonese refreshments, if you like it, bring some." She had already bought the tools and materials she needed on the way back. Prepare to practice making Cantonese dim sum tomorrow.
