Chapter 730 New Home
Jiang Shuyi is quite stubborn in terms of right and wrong. Zhou Zhi didn’t know where to start for a while, so he had to say: "Shu Yi, in fact, some people are naturally biased, isn't it? "
The words were too teasing, Jiang Shuyi spat lightly, lowered her head and said: "You...are being a rogue."
"Actually, they are. What does it have to do with me?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Everyone has their own opinions, and I am not their family teacher."
"I can only remind them of the consequences of being willful. , don’t think that you can act recklessly after getting a high school diploma.” Zhou Zhi felt helpless: “If I force Hua Ting and the others to bow their heads and apologize, wouldn’t I become another Hua Ting?”
"You are different from them."
"Of course. Forget it, let's not talk about them. It would be a waste of atmosphere."
"Indeed, a little bit." Jiang Shuyi smiled.
When they arrived at Zaoling Bridge, Zhou Zhi said to Jiang Shuyi: "Go up and see grandma? From today on, we are neighbors upstairs and downstairs."
"Yes." Jiang Shuyi followed Zhou Zhi upstairs obediently.
As soon as the door opened, I heard my mother say: "Yufen, look, I just said that the two children will come back together, right?"
"Why did Shu Yiyi come back so late? The last exam is How's it going?" Du Yufen was also at Zhou Zhi's house. It seemed that the two mothers were very concerned about their children, so they both left early in the afternoon and waited all afternoon in vain.
"Principal Zhao asked us to estimate our scores." Zhou Zhi said: "He wanted to determine our approximate scores."
"What is the approximate score?" Mom Very eagerly: "This kid always talks half-talk!"
Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded. Am I always half-talking, or are you better at grabbing the words?
Jiang Shuyi said: "Zhou Zhi did well in the exam and got a score of 500."
"The total score is 650, right?" My mother frowned: "Is this a good test or a good score?" Is it good?”
“This year’s The question is too difficult. "Zhou Zhi said: "Anyway, it is certain to break through 500, but it is difficult to say if it is less than 510." "What about you, Shu Yi?" Did Du Yufen hear it? What's the name? Then he asked about his daughter.
"I... four hundred and eighty to four hundred and eighty-five." Jiang Shuyi said: "It's mainly English. I'm not as sure as Zhou Zhi."
"Is this thirty points worse than Zhou Zhi?" Du Yufen became even more worried.
Zhou Zhi is quite open-minded: "Anyway, I am only over five hundred, Mu Ruyun is around five hundred, Shu Yi is third at four hundred and eighty-five, Zhang Lu is at four hundred and eight, Ye Xin and Xin Yi are at around four hundred. Five."
"It hasn't changed from the ranking." My mother felt a little relieved: "What about the science department?"
"And... Su Datou. "Jiang Shuyi asked timidly.
"Don't count on Datou." My mother sighed: "I'm afraid he won't even be able to get a junior college degree, so I plan to send him to Jingyang to learn technology."
Su Datou has come back less in the past two years. Mainly because every time he comes, his grandmother will drive him downstairs to study with Zhou Zhi and the others. However, the gap between him and his friends is really too big, and Majie Middle School is not the same. It's impossible to catch up in any serious school, and it's even difficult to find a common language with your friends. "
"The key point is that Jiang Shuyi always thinks that he can be saved. Every time she sees him, she spends her own time giving him extra lessons. Gradually, she doesn't come back at all on weekends.
As an alumnus of Rongshan Central School, Jiang Shuyi still cares about Su Datou.
"He has to come back today!" my mother said bitterly.
“After talking for a long time, I still don’t know how I will do in the exam.” Du Yufen was still worried. "We should know tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Zhou Zhi said: "Principal Zhao will definitely communicate with the principals in Shudu. Auntie, you don't have to worry. I think Shuyi's first choice will definitely be fine with Shuyi's third place in the school. .”
"I believe what I said. Now the grades in the middle school are much better than those in Manzhou No. 1 Middle School. If Shu Yi can take the third place, it will be no problem." Mom said, pulling Jiang Shuyi He held his hand and said heartbrokenly: "My daughter has really lost a lot of weight in the past six months."
Seeing that Jiang Shuyi was a little embarrassed, Zhou Zhi hurriedly said: "I'm going up to see grandma, and take Shuyi to see the garden by the way."
"Go, I'll give you, Principal Zhao, a call ." The two mothers were still unsure and planned to inquire again.
Grandma has difficulty moving around, but now that she has this attic, she has a chance to return to rural life.
On the top floor is a large living room, a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette.
Between the living room and the garden is a large laminated aluminum alloy glass door, which allows ample lighting here.
The air conditioner was turned on to 24 degrees, and grandma was sitting on a wicker chair doing needlework, with a dustpan on the big round table next to her.
On the side near the door, there are many wooden nails nailed to the wall, which is similar to the habit of farmhouses in southern Sichuan. On them are dustpans, Shaoji, vegetable baskets, straw hats and other bamboo utensils, as well as small shovels, small nail rakes and other agricultural tools. .
The indoor furniture and furnishings are also antique and old things, all collected by Zhou Zhi from the countryside.
There is a kind of good wood in southern Sichuan, which is produced locally, but it is difficult to make into lumber. Rural people like to use it as hoe handles, and woodworkers like to use it for planing. It is very dense and solid.
In the past, when a carpenter received such a job, he would scold and work at the same time. Now, it is simply impossible to find a carpenter willing to take such a job.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to find materials that can still be used to make furniture.
This is Qinggang wood.
In Zhou Zhi's eyes, this is the best furniture wood in southern Sichuan, so he specially collected it. Except for the flowerbed bed in his grandmother's bedroom, all the furniture in the room had its surface paint removed, revealing the exquisite The wood grain, then maintained with wood wax oil, is very elegant and beautiful.
"My good grandson and my good daughter are back?" Grandma smiled and said: "My good grandson, go and bring in the cowpeas."
"I'll go too." Jiang Shuyi said quickly.
"Good girl, please don't go, the sun is still shining brightly outside." Grandma pulled Jiang Shuyi to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured water for her: "Good girl, drink water, Lao Yin tea. You guys take the test The exam is over?”
“The exam is over? Jiang Shuyi was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Zhou Zhi, grandma said that our college entrance examination was an examination." "In the old days, we had to go to the provincial capital to take the examination." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Grandma, you have to take the college entrance examination." You just came here and you haven’t been idle yet?”
"There are so many cowpeas, it would be a pity not to harvest them," said grandma.
The decoration and layout here were completed half a year ago. It was all because of "feng shui issues" that my mother was reluctant to move here.
Today is the last day of the college entrance examination. Mom and grandma’s Buddhist temples are really used when they are useful and thrown away when they are no longer useful.
The center of the garden outside is a small pavilion, surrounded by four circular flower beds. On the flower beds are circular wire mesh, shaped like pillars, with honeysuckle, roses, and wisterias climbing on them. There is also a tomato plant.
There is a pergola set up between the two flower poles on this side of the house. Grapes are growing there now, but it will take at least three years for the grapes to bear fruit.
