Zhang Guilian trotted out all the way, Cheng Yue'e glanced at the sand fruit on the kang, pulled the corners of her mouth, and snorted.

"Look at her stinginess, this kind of person can't associate with her."

Xu Zhinian looked at Cheng Yue's smug appearance, but she was infinitely contemptuous in her heart.

Why isn't Cheng Yue'e her gun this time?

She just wants Zhang Guilian to have a long memory, betray her, and those who don't know how to lift will definitely have no good fruit to eat - not all horses can eat Huitou grass.

As for his own college banquet, it was for Xu Zhibin's face.

With Cheng Yue'e's meager maternal love, it is impossible to celebrate with great fanfare for her youngest son, and Xu Zhibin will inevitably feel lost at that time.

Cheng Yue'e saw that Xu Zhinian listened to her everything today, she was very proud, shook her head and tail, and her mouth never stopped, praising Xu Zhiqi for a while, flattering her eldest brother for a while, and flattering Xu Zhinian for a while.

Xu Zhinian sat on the edge of the kang, just looking at her like watching a play, and at the end, he said: "Second aunt, you are the most generous, much better than the third aunt." ”

"Of course, Zhang Guilian is an iron hen!"

"By the way, second aunt, have you informed the whole village about the two elder brothers holding a college banquet together tomorrow?"

Cheng Yue'e said proudly: "Of course, such a good thing, the whole village must celebrate together, I have already notified everywhere when I went to sell pork just now, and I also told Zhang Youcai's daughter-in-law, she said around with a big mouth, it is better than the village chief's horn." ”

"That's good."

Xu Zhinian said the three words "this is good", Cheng Yue'e was stunned for a moment, what is this good? What's so good?

She looked at Xu Zhinian and saw that the corner of her mouth was on the corner of her signature smile again.

As soon as she smiles like that, it's not going to be good!

"Second aunt, since you are generous, it is better to be generous to the end, you can pay for the banquet this time, and our family will also borrow a light from you."

Xu Zhinian's tone could not be refuted, Cheng Yue'e opened her mouth to object, but in her mind, it seemed that someone was pulling her nerves, covering her mouth and telling her - don't offend Xu Zhinian.

First of all, Xu Zhinian pinched her sister's employment quota, and said that if she didn't want her sister, she wouldn't want her sister, and when the time came, her sister would have no income, and she would not be allowed to eat and drink her?

Second, she had already publicized this matter a long time ago, if Xu Zhinian turned her face and didn't do it with her, it would be her who would be ashamed.

"Bao Ya ......"

"Second aunt, it's such a happy decision."

Xu Zhinian smiled innocently, and he couldn't see any calculation in his eyebrows.

The banquet on the second day went very smoothly, and the old Xu family was also a serious beauty, but Xu Zhinian could always see a trace of bitterness in Cheng Yue's smile, she paid for the cost of this banquet, but everyone came to congratulate Xu Zhiqi, his son originally wanted to rub some glory, but he was disgraced by Xu Zhiqi.

"Mistake, mistake!" Cheng Yue'e gritted her teeth secretly in the corner.

……

At the end of August, when there was still one week before the start of school, Xu Zhinian received a notice from the school that she would represent the entire Kejiang County in the national English competition.

The English competition was held in Matsuhama, the provincial capital, and was divided into two parts: a written test and a speech.

Xu Zhinian was a little dissatisfied with this sudden arrangement - in this way, she would not be able to send her second brother on the train, but the second brother left his hometown for the first time, this is a big event, and the whole family should be present.

But after thinking about it, I had promised the English teacher Qin Min at the beginning, and it was not appropriate to shirk it now.

"Xu Zhinian, our school, no, it is the entire Kejiang County, you are the only one who participates, you must play hard, calm down, I hope you can live up to the expectations of the teacher and achieve good results in one fell swoop."

Qin Min's voice seemed very excited on the phone, since the last time Xu Zhinian answered a full-score test paper in ten minutes, every time she looked at Xu Zhinian, she had a little admiration.

"Teacher Qin, there are three middle schools in Kejiang County, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, why did you choose me in the end?" Xu Zhinian was a little puzzled.

"Because...... Well...... this" Qin Min actually stood up.

"Teacher Qin, do you have something to say?"

"Actually, there are a total of five candidates, but after being screened by the county education bureau, only one of you is left, mainly ...... Because of the image. ”

"Image? Yes, this time there is not only a written test, but also an all-English speech, and the impression score is very important, so the candidates' photos are sent to the Education Bureau, and after screening, you are the most suitable. ”

Isn't this tantamount to complimenting her for her good looks in disguise?

In the final analysis, it is a world of faces.

"By the way, I heard that there are big stars in the judges of this speech, do you know that a Sino-foreign joint venture movie was recently released? The one who plays the male lead in "Dawn Light" is called Ning Mo, this time you have a chance to communicate with him face-to-face, he is a mixed-race child, his English is absolutely pure, and it is a good learning opportunity. ”

"Oh." Xu Zhinian was indifferent, still immersed in the frustration of not being able to send her second brother to college, as for any big star, she didn't pay attention to it, and she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Two days before the competition day, Xu Zhinian packed her luggage and came to Kejiang County, and the Education Bureau specially sent someone to take her on the train - but after all, due to limited funds, no one accompanied her, not even a teacher to lead the team.

After a night of wandering, she came to the provincial capital of Matsuhama.

The dazzling Russian-style buildings, old streets, old trams, and mottled red brick walls made her feel a little new.

In her previous life, she was accustomed to seeing dense urban high-rise buildings, mirrored walls, towering office buildings, and bustling CBD, but in this life, she was reborn and has been shrinking in the town and village.

Xu Zhinian got off the car and arrived at the agreed reporting location, and after the introduction of the pick-up person, she knew that what she was going to stay in was not an ordinary guest house, but a construction hotel.

"Building a hotel? Why do you want to live in such a big hotel, it's too luxurious. Xu Zhinian didn't care whether the place he wanted to live was extravagant or not, but that the construction of the hotel was opened by Zhou Qinqin's brother Zhou Jianjian.

This hotel used to be a state-owned unit, called the Victory Hotel, and later became a collective system, and last year it was turned into a private enterprise.

"Because this English competition is national, we in Matsuhama City are only the host city, not only local students from the province, but also many from other places, of course we have to come up with the best conditions to settle these contestants, we can't lose our face in Matsuhama."

Xu Zhinian nodded, didn't ask anything more, and followed the teacher who picked up the station all the way to the Jianshe Hotel.

When she arrived at the door, she understood a little - it was not unreasonable for Zhou Qinqin to blow the into the sky before, this hotel is indeed very magnificent, and the surrounding houses and streets are contrasted like slums.
