Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao followed Yan Yongzhi all the way to the grade office.

Compared with him, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, the expression of the little girl next to him was more nervous. Yan Jingxing quietly tugged at her sleeve and smiled at her with a relieved smile.

"The night before, you came home late again."

The uncle sat down in his seat and said this first thing when he spoke.

"Well, I should have contacted ...... in advance"

"I know. It was Xie Yuzhi's family who called me to inform me. ”

Yan Yongzhi sighed.

"Do you remember how many times this was the first time?"

"I forgot."

"For the fourth time. Four nights of the week were out and about. I wasn't at home on the weekend, and today I asked the dormitory manager that you weren't in the dormitory last night. ”

Yan Yongzhi gestured four fingers, and his tone was serious.

"It's not impossible to play with friends, didn't I promise you the first time you said you were going out on the weekend? Under normal circumstances, I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, but everything has to be done in a certain way. ”

The office was quiet, the cold wind of the air conditioner blew the bands rattling, and only the voice of the uncle could be heard. It's not surprising that it's not uncommon for teachers to call students into the office to criticize.

He secretly looked at Ji Chunzao out of the corner of his eye, and found that she was lowering her head and being trained honestly.

Judging by her attitude, she may have been used to it for a long time.

Yan Jingxing thought about it and suddenly spoke:

"Uncle, I want to ask a question."

"Huh?"

"What is a 'degree'?"

Yan Yongzhi was stunned for a moment.

What is "degree"...... For junior high school students, it is natural to be stricter, and he is already a very tolerant kind of parent.

The most important thing is, for example, not to have a puppy love – or at the very least, not to find two puppy lovers?

“…… Of course, it's learning. You're students, and your job is to study. ”

Yan Yongzhi coughed, almost holding back his expression.

He still didn't understand that his nephew was no different from boys of the same age when he was in the city, and children at this age were always used to keeping their distance from the opposite sex, and boys and boys were more chatty and playful - how could people seem to change personalities after changing places?

However, the two girls who are with his nephew, he also knows a little during this time, so although they mix together every day, they really don't necessarily do anything out of the ordinary, Yan Yongzhi is also hesitating whether to really speak.

It's more important to study, Yan Yongzhi thought to himself. He is not the kind of parent who puts grades first, but as an educator, he knows very well that the quality of a student's grades can reflect the person's recent life situation and psychological state.

If there is a decline in grades for no reason, it is often a problem with the mentality, and it may even be a sudden family accident, Yan Yongzhi has seen many such children over the years when he was a teacher;

On the other hand, if a student's mental outlook looks different from before, as long as the academic performance does not change, or even improves, then even if it is indeed influenced by the outside world, this influence is undoubtedly positive.

"I see you're sleeping in class today, so you must not have studied hard, have you?"

"You're right." Yan Jingxing nodded approvingly, "I really haven't spent much effort in the past few days. ”

"You know it yourself. If this continues, what will happen to your studies? Your grades are still okay, but because you have just transferred to another school, once you don't keep up with the latest courses, you will fall behind compared to others......"

"Yes, I know. I'm going to have to work harder to keep my results. ”

Yan Jingxing followed his uncle's words and said

"I think about it, in my situation, the most important thing is to improve the learning efficiency in a short period of time. So, I thought we could have a study session. ”

“…… Study session? ”

"Yes."

Yan Jingxing nodded solemnly.

"It's just to find classmates who are good at studying to help tutor the latest schoolwork."

Yan Yongzhi stared at his nephew with a strange expression. He didn't even have to think much to know that this kid was going to speak next. The abacus in this stomach is really loud.

“…… Jing Xing, the 'classmate with good grades' you are talking about, is it Xie Yuzhi from Class 5? ”

"That's right." Yan Jingxing's attitude is sincere, "Among the classmates I know, only she has the best grades and has the ability to help me." ”

"To tell you the truth, are you really looking for someone else to learn?"

"Of course."

"Then why don't you ask me, Xie Yuzhi's grades are very good, but I am still a teacher who teaches every day."

"Of course my uncle can help me, but you don't usually have to prepare lesson plans, correct homework and test papers, etc., I'm so busy every day, I'm really embarrassed to speak."

Yan Jingxing is full of words.

"In addition, I am not the only one who can help the study club."

Of course, he would not forget that the other person was there.

"Like this classmate Ji Chunzao, me, her, and Xie Yuzhi are all acquaintances, and we can study and improve together."

“…… You tell me seriously. After a moment of silence, Yan Yongzhi spoke, "Can you really guarantee that your studies will not be affected?" ”

……

After the two walked out of the office, Yan Jingxing breathed in the fresh air in the corridor and did a few chest expansion exercises, and his expression became relaxed.

Although he and Yan Yongzhi are uncles and nephews, they are called to the office by the teacher, and no student will be nervous unconsciously.

"You're amazing."

Ji Chunzao, who has been silent since he was called to the office, finally opened his mouth and sighed:

"And your uncle isn't very angry when you talk like that."

"As long as what I say makes sense, my uncle will generally agree, and this is how I get along with him." Yan Jingxing replied, "But this time it's a 'military order', if you don't get the results in the next monthly exam, your uncle won't be so easy to talk to." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Chunzao, who seemed to be relieved.

"So, let's go to Yuzhi later and discuss the study meeting with her."

"Hey~ really want to have a study meeting?"

The little girl looked surprised.

"You think I'm joking?" Yan Jingxing spread his hands, "I still care about learning." ”

Although I care more about superpowers and extraterrestrial creatures.

"Speaking of which, how are your grades? How many people took the exam last month? ”

"Uh...... More than twenty. ”

"More than twenty? How many are in the twenties? To tell you the truth, I don't believe you forgot. ”

“…… Twenty-nine. Ji Chunzao replied honestly.

"Twenty-nine. There are forty-five people in our class, and you are already in the bottom half, which is considered the bottom ranking. Yan Jingxing held his chin and said unceremoniously.

"Woo......"

Ji Chunzao lowered his head in frustration, as if he had been hit very badly.

"It's clear that we're all superpowers, is it really necessary to care about this kind of thing?"

“……”

Yan Jingxing was silent for a moment.

"You're not unreasonable."

Regarding the secrets of another world, in fact, he didn't deliberately hide it, but he didn't deliberately show it either.

Besides, just like him and Xie Yuzhi in the past, no one will believe it until they see the truth that is enough to subvert the worldview.

…… However, Yan Jingxing felt that sooner or later, the people around him would know the truth.

He had such a hunch, but he didn't know when it would come.

Maybe it's far away from the present, maybe it's unexpectedly close, and everything about the future is unknown.

“…… Jing Xing? ”

The sound of Ji Chunzao poured into his ears along with the drunken summer wind.

"Let's make my family happy." Yan Jingxing, who came back to his senses, replied softly, "Just like my uncle said, a student's job is to study, even if it is to learn to others." ”

“…… Well. ”

She nodded, smiling again.

*

The next day, hundreds of second-grade students were ready to set off en masse.

The car that sent them to military training had not yet arrived, so the teachers and students who had gathered early could only wait at the school gate first.

The team was loose and unorganized, everyone was very lively, and occasionally someone rode a bicycle past the school gate, and they often subconsciously smiled when they saw this group of young children carrying school bags, recalling their youthful years.

Yan Jingxing and his good friend were chatting in the corner, discussing the study meeting and the secret base.

He was carrying a schoolbag when he usually went to school, while Ji Chunzao changed into a small satchel with a plush teddy bear on it, which was very suitable for her.

When the two of them lowered their voices and spoke, they consciously or unintentionally kept a certain distance from the other students in the class. At this moment, a clear voice suddenly interjected into their exchange.

"So you're here."

will take the initiative to come to them, except for Miss Xie, there is no one else.

"I have something for you."

She has always been vigorous in her work, and took out two shiny black mobile phones from her bag and stuffed them into the hands of her two friends.

"This—This is ......"

"Nokia N95."

By the way, I also handed them two notes.

"Above are the numbers of the three of us. The card is already inserted, and you can use it directly. ”

The school rules of the experimental middle school do not allow students to bring any electronic devices, and mobile phones are naturally a rarity for junior high school students. Even if you need to contact your home because of something on campus, you can only go to the phone number of the dormitory manager.

A classmate in the same grade suddenly gave a mobile phone a few thousand years old without saying a word, which felt a bit outrageous; But when I think of Xie Yuzhi, it makes people feel very reasonable.

Although he was a little cheeky, Yan Jingxing felt that he and Ji Chunzao were like the kind of little white faces in society who were raised by rich women, and they didn't have to think about anything.

"Why so suddenly?"

"We've always been in this together. But in the unlikely event that something happens to an alien planet and we don't stay together when it happens, we have to have a convenient tool for connecting with each other. ”

"Thank you, Captain Xie." He accidentally said what he called her in his heart.

“…… Captain Xie? ”

Xie Yuzhi shook his head and corrected seriously.

"This title is outdated, and I am now a member of the Komsomol. You too, you will join the group in a few months. ”

When I was in junior high school, no one wore a red scarf. However, in the first year of junior high school, everyone is actually still a Young Pioneer, and in the second year of junior high school, they will generally join the group, and only a small number of outstanding students will be eligible to join the group at the age of thirteen.

"Well, what should I call you?"

"Hmm...... When I become the secretary of the school league branch, you may have to call me 'Secretary Xie'? ”

Xie Yuzhi replied half-jokingly.

"Okay, I'll go back to my class first, and I'll contact you when I get to the place."

She waved at the two of them, turned and left.

"Wait!"

Yan Jingxing hurriedly stopped her.

"I almost forgot, I was discussing with Chunzao about you just now."

He repeated all the words he had said to his uncle.

"I'm sorry, Yuzhi, I thought of it on the spot, and I couldn't discuss it with you in advance."

"It's okay."

The corners of Xie Yuzhi's mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, as if she was very satisfied with his idea.

"That's a good idea. In this way, you and Chunzao don't always have to think of excuses to prevaricate their parents, and we can have more free time to spend. ”

“…… Wait, how do you have an idea with Chunzao. Yan Jingxing couldn't help but complain, "I really want to have a study meeting, in order to convince my uncle, I made a military order, and I will have to see it in the next monthly exam." ”

"Of course, you can open it if you want, I can teach you, or you can ask other teachers to come over and be tutors, and it just so happens that the cram school is closed. Whatever you want to do, I'll do my best to help. ”

Looking at the smile on the eldest lady's face full of confidence and tolerance, the sense of "being raised" in Yan Jingxing's heart became stronger.

But......

Well, there's nothing wrong with that, he thought.

Report it, the first order is 820. Although the performance of the new book period is like that, but under the premise that the collection is twice as intrusive as the world, the subscription is not even as good as the former, which still makes me feel very sorry, after all, this subscription ratio is really poor in the current starting environment...... It seems that there is still something wrong with my writing ideas, so let's see if I can exercise and improve it in the future.
