During the Chinese New Year, Lu Zhu only went to her grandparents' house to pay New Year's greetings to the two old people, and she never went to the rest of her relatives' houses.

When relatives came to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings, almost all of them asked Lu Zhu if she was going to take the college entrance examination this year, and with her results, it should be no problem to go to the next major book, right?

Xia Zhu has always been modest, and said with a smile while making tea: "My child's study and her father basically don't ask, the last book or the second book, as long as she works hard, we can accept it, there are no special requirements." The two of us are not highly educated, and we are satisfied if we can produce a college student in our family. ”

"Look at what you said, it's too modest." Lu Zhu's uncle took a sip of the teacup, and snorted softly, the slightly bitter and sweet taste of the tea before the rain flowed on the tip of his tongue, "I have a friend who teaches at Yun High School, and I asked him earlier, Lu Zhu's score is in the top 150 in the grade, and the last book must be stable." Finally, this semester will rush again, and it is possible to re-capitalize. ”

Xia Zhu smiled and brought the remaining cups of tea to the others.

Lu Zhu took it with both hands and asked, "You don't plan to accompany you?" ”

"Accompaniment?"

Lu Guoming was preparing food in the kitchen, and Xia Zhu simply sat down to chat with the guests.

"Yes, the son of the family next door to me is also taking the college entrance examination this year, and his mother resigned and came back from other places and rented a house near the school to accompany him. Don't underestimate the accompaniment, after the lights go out in the school dormitory building, there are still many students who fight at night and live in rented houses, so there is no power limit, and they can study for a few hours if they want to. With family by your side, your mood will be different. Another is the food, no matter how good the school cafeteria is, it can't compare to home-cooked food. Students in the third year of high school often use their brains excessively, so they should be nutritionally matched, and only when their bodies are well maintained can they have more energy to study. ”

Lu Zhu's aunt is a well-spoken person, and she can't stop as soon as she speaks, listing the advantages of many parents accompanying her.

Xia Zhu didn't have this plan, and she never even thought about it, but she was gradually moved by her.

After pondering for a few days, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, so she discussed with Lu Guoming: "That day, the child's aunt said about accompanying the child, I think it is feasible, what do you think?" ”

She repeated the original words to Lu Guoming and asked him to come up with ideas.

The husband and wife have always discussed the big and small things in the family, Lu Guoming thought for a moment, and asked her first: "Have you thought about it?" The accompaniment is about to resign. ”

Of course, Xia Zhu thought about resigning, but in her heart, everything was no better than that of a child.

"The child's matter is important, I can find another one if I resign, she is only a senior in high school. Since you can enjoy better conditions, why should you wronged her? Didn't you even notice? When she was in her third year of high school, she wasn't as thin as she is now, and she has been thinner and thinner every time she has come back from vacation. ”

Lu Guoming glanced at her: "Why didn't I find out, I remember the last time I said it, you told me that this girl has grown up and smoked strips." ”

Xia Zhu punched him: "I'm going to tell you about business." ”

Lu Guoming straightened his face: "It's useless for you to tell me, it's a matter of Zhuzhu, you have to discuss it with her." ”

Xia Zhu was stunned, thinking that he was right, and immediately lifted the quilt and prepared to go upstairs. Lu Guoming grabbed her and said helplessly: "Can't wait for tomorrow?" The child may be asleep. ”

"What time is it? Before nine o'clock, she definitely didn't sleep. ”

Xia Zhu broke away from his hand, put on her slippers, and when she walked to the staircase, she saw a bright light coming through the crack in Lu Zhu's door, showing that she hadn't slept yet.

Lu Zhu sat at the desk and did her homework, she didn't turn on the air conditioner, the room was too cold, she was wearing a fluffy coral velvet pajamas, wrapped in a down jacket, and a small sun was placed on her legs, turning on the lowest setting, and the warm yellow light baked the side of her calf hot. It's a pity that she can't bake her hands, so she writes for a while, stop for a while, and put her hands in front of the little sun to keep warm.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in."

Lu Zhu took the opportunity to put down the pen and put his hand under to roast.

Xia Zhu pushed open the door, smiled at her, and asked, "Is it cold?" Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner. ”

"It's not very cold." Lu Zhu said.

"I'll tell you something." Xia Zhu didn't foreshadow her for too long, for fear of delaying her homework time, so she said directly, "I discussed it with your father, I want to resign after you start school and concentrate on taking care of you." The last half of the year...... Seriously calculated, it is less than half a year, and it is the most critical period, I want to rent you a house near the school, and you move out of the school to live. ”

It was so unexpected that Lu Zhu's mind didn't even turn around.

"Don't be surprised, I've been thinking about it for days on a whim." Xia Zhu sat on the edge of her bed and said earnestly, "Didn't you say that the school was not humane enough, the lights would be turned off at 10:20, and if you want to write more homework, you can only use the desk lamp, and the dormitory manager aunt is strict and does not allow you to use it." Moving outside doesn't have any of these troubles, and I think ......"

Lu Zhu finally understood, and hurriedly shook his head to interrupt her: "No, really no, you can work with peace of mind, I live in school very well, I'm used to it, and I don't feel inconvenient." ”

In the dormitory where she lived in her sophomore year of high school, she was the only one who turned on the lamp and studied late after the lights went out, and even if she drew the bed curtain, she was worried that she would disturb other roommates.

Now it's different, the dormitory where she is located is basically lit up to study at night, and the atmosphere is very good.

When the dormitory manager came to check the bed, they collectively turned off the lamp, and when the people were far away and there was no movement, they quietly turned on and continued to study.

It's not as hard as Xia Zhu imagined. The school canteen is clean and hygienic, the dishes are okay, and the price is not expensive, so she doesn't feel wronged.

Seeing that her attitude was so resolute, Xia Zhu hesitated for a while: "Then I'll think about it again." ”

She didn't completely listen to her daughter's advice, and she could probably guess the reason for her refusal, which was nothing more than that she didn't want her to quit the job she had done for many years.

——

In the chat with Sun Jingfang, there has been a new development in the matter of accompanying the reading.

Sun Jingfang's enthusiastic voice came from the other end of the phone: "This is not easy to do? Let Lu Zhu live in my house, my home is in Jingheyuan, and it is about ten minutes away from Yungao, which is as convenient as living in school. There is also a spare room at home, and Lu Zhu lived in it last semester. I'm an idler anyway, I have nothing to do at home, it's no problem to take care of two children, and the most important thing is that you don't have to quit your job for the sake of the children. Kill more than one stone. ”

Xia Zhu originally just mentioned it casually, but she was really frightened by her enthusiasm, and she was silent for a long time before she found her voice: "Will it be too disturbing?" ”

"What's the bother? The two children are also in the third year of high school, and their schedules are the same, and I usually wait for Jiang Huaining to study at night, cook him some supper and then go to sleep. Sun Jingfang didn't realize that her rhetoric was very similar to that of the landlord aunt who was soliciting tenants, trying to show off various benefits, "For high school juniors, day school is indeed more cost-effective than living on campus, and they can study for two more hours a day." At the end of a semester, how many days and nights are more than other children. ”

The extra time is the extra score, and you can take a few points in the college entrance examination. This is more important than anything else.

Xia Zhu was shaken by what she said, but she didn't agree immediately: "I have to ask Zhu Zhu, she has always had an idea, and her father and I can't be her master." ”

Xia Zhu was a little hesitant in her heart, it was too troublesome to live in someone else's house, and she was afraid that Lu Zhu would be uncomfortable. There is a big difference between a short one-night stay and a long-term stay.

Sun Jingfang has a good heart, but she can't get an inch.

She went to ask Lu Zhu what he meant, Lu Zhu was incredulous at first, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "It's too troublesome, I don't want to go." ”

is worthy of being a mother and daughter, and I thought of going to one place. Xia Zhu rubbed the back of her hand twice, and said in a slow tone: "I think so too, so I didn't agree." Since you don't want to, I can't force it, just forget the matter of borrowing the Jiang family. ”

"Well, find a reason to refuse Aunt Sun." Lu Zhu put his palms on his mother's shoulders softly, massaged her, and said coquettishly, "Don't think about accompanying you anymore, I have decided to continue to live in school." ”

"Okay—I see."

Xia Zhu patted the back of her hand.

When she got out of Lu Zhu's room, she didn't delay for too long, and after organizing the language, she called Sun Jingfang back, and politely rejected her kindness.

Sun Jingfang had a sense of melancholy that her hopes had been disappointed, and her tone was light, unable to lift her spirits: "You, you are too outside." My family has often supervised the work in Bishuitan for the past six months, and if you didn't bring the food you ate, you have to give us a chance to repay it. ”

"It's just a few meals, where can you use the word 'repay', don't say it." Xia Zhu smiled, "I'm going to be embarrassed if you say it again." ”

The two chatted a few words and hung up the phone.

Lu Zhu was in the room, I didn't know how Xia Zhu and Sun Jingfang were talking, and I couldn't concentrate on writing the question for a long time, holding the pen and staring at the paper in a daze.

The phone on the desktop is charging and vibrating.

Lu Zhu glanced at the caller ID and hesitated to connect.

On the phone, Jiang Huaining asked her bluntly without any disguise: "Why don't you want to come to live at my house?" ”

Lu Zhu's scalp was tingling for a while, and she just wanted to know what her mother told Aunt Sun, didn't she remind her to find a reason?
