On the way to school, Zhou Chen specifically asked Qiang Xiaowa and Xiaohua not to tell anyone about what just happened, especially about his 10,000 yuan.
It wasn't that he was worried about the 10,000 yuan, he was just worried that the matter would spread and he would be unfriendly to them, and it was also to protect Xiaohua. After all, her parents had really 'sold' her.
Qiang Xiaowa and Xiaohua were both full of gratitude to Zhou Chen, and of course they agreed wholeheartedly. In fact, they, especially Xiaohua, didn't want people to know such a thing.
Xiaohua walked into the examination room specially prepared for her. She bowed and thanked Xiao Fang and Gao Feiyang with great respect, and then sat down in her seat.
Xiao Fang looked at Xiaohua and simply nodded, then said "Let's get started" and announced the start of the exam.
Outside the classroom, in the stairwell, Zhou Chen and others gathered together. Cheng Miaomiao asked curiously: "Why are you so slow?"
Qiang Xiaowa glanced at Zhou Chen and saw that Zhou Chen had no intention of explaining, so he said, "Something happened and I was delayed."
Cheng Miaomiao just asked and didn't pay much attention. She was more concerned about Xiaohua's exam.
"How is Xiaohua studying? Are you sure you will pass this exam?"
"Hua'er studied very seriously and she has a good foundation. I think as long as she doesn't perform abnormally, she should be able to pass."
Qiang Xiaowa is confident, but not confident enough. After all, performance on the spot plays a part in exams.
Today's exam is a one-day exam, and there are exams for each subject, but some are two exams combined.
At the end of the day's exam, Xiaohua was still uneasy. After Xiao Fang collected all the test papers, he told Xiaohua that she should go back and wait for news. After they finished correcting the test papers, they would also study whether to agree to enroll, how to enroll, etc.
Although it is only a student quota, it still needs to be studied for the oil field school. After all, Xiaohua is not a resident of the oil field base. They also need to ask for instructions from the superiors and receive approval before they can accept the student registration.
However, this process was not long. It only took two days. Xiao Fang notified Xiaohua and told her that if she passed the exam, she could report to Lin No. 72 Middle School next Monday and attend classes in Class 11, Senior High School.
"Very good."
After learning the result, everyone was overjoyed, and then a group of friends gathered at Qiang Xiaowa's house to celebrate Xiaohua.
Xiaohua was so excited that she shed tears, and she kept thanking everyone.
"Sister Miao Miao, Brother Si, Sister Xiao Min, thank you for always helping me and supporting me, thank you."
Cheng Miaomiao and the three of them laughed loudly and said that they should help each other. We are all good friends and should help each other.
When they first helped Xiao Hua, they really saw Xiao Hua as pitiful, but after getting along with her, they found that Xiao Hua was indeed a simple and honest little girl, and they all sincerely wanted to help her.
"Xiaohua, you don't need to thank us. Who in the entire Lin Qi Oilfield doesn't know that Li Si and Miaomiao are the most warm-hearted people in the entire Lin Qi Er, haha..."
"Thank you Brother Si."
Li Si, Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin all provided help for Xiaohua's exams, giving books to those who gave them books, notes to those who took notes, and stationery and pencil boxes, etc.
Today, in order to celebrate Xiaohua's admission to Lin No. 72 Middle School, Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin even sent her school uniforms and other items.
"Xiao Hua, these are the school uniforms, desks, and stationery for me and Hu Hu, although they are all old..."
Xiaohua bowed to them both gratefully before Cheng Miaomiao finished speaking.
"Thank you Sister Miao Miao, thank you Sister Xiao Min."
She didn't have as much self-esteem as Qiang Xiaowa. Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin gave her clothes, and she was just grateful because she could see that they were sincerely helping her.
Now being able to go to school is what she has always dreamed of. She has no money and her parents don't care about her. She is only grateful and touched that someone can give her these necessities.
Xiaohua finally thanked Zhou Chen very solemnly.
"Brother Chen, the person I want to thank the most is you. If you hadn't helped me, I would definitely not be able to go to this school. I know I can't help you with anything now, but don't worry, I will study hard and get a good exam in the future.
I want to go to university, find a good job, and then I will repay you and give you all the money I earn..."
Listening to Xiaohua sincerely thank Zhou Chen, and also made so many guarantees and such special treatment, Cheng Miaomiao and the other two were all confused.
"Xiaowa, did something happen between Xiaohua and Zhou Chen that we don't know about?"
Qiang Xiaowa looked at Zhou Chen at a loss, not knowing what to say, but Zhou Chen comforted Xiaohua with a smile, and then nodded to Qiang Xiaowa, and then Qiang Xiaowa told everything that happened that day
come out.
When they heard the whole story, Cheng Miaomiao and the other three were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that so many things happened that morning.
Li Si gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up: "Niu, I, Li Si, have never convinced anyone since I was a child, but I am really convinced by you."
"That's necessary. No matter what, I am also your father's brother-in-law and your uncle."
"Zhou Chen, you will die if you don't mention this."
Li Si was furious and turned his face instantly, causing several people to laugh uncontrollably.
…………
Xiaohua successfully joined Lin No. 2 Middle School and became a high school student in Lin No. 2 Middle School. She was placed in the first grade class of high school, in the same class as Cheng Yaya and others, led by Han Shu.
Although Xiaohua's joining brought much criticism compared to when Yuan Shanqing transferred to this class, it was still very surprising. Fortunately, there were help from Cheng Yaya, Yuan Shanqing and others in the same class, as well as Han Shu's
He took care of me, so he quickly integrated into the class.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is coming soon. Going to school in the morning in winter is a torture for students. There are many more students who are late every morning than usual. Even if the school gives orders repeatedly, but
Still can't solve the problem of lateness.
Now it is difficult for Zhou Chen and the four of them who go to school together to go to school together every day. Either he got up late today, or she stayed in bed. In short, they just got up separately and went to school by themselves without waiting for others.
In the afternoon physical education class, Zhou Chen and his class happened to be in the same class as the Grade 11 class.
Zhou Chen played basketball with Li Si to warm up, and then wandered alone on the playground. While strolling, suddenly Xiaohua ran over, holding something in her hand.
"Little flower."
"Brother Chen, this is for you. I knitted it myself. I don't know if you like it or not."
Seeing what Xiaohua handed over, it turned out to be a pair of gray knitted gloves. Zhou Chen did not refuse, and after taking them, he put a pair on his hands.
"Yes, it's a good size and very warm. Thank you, Xiaohua, your hands are really dexterous."
He knew that Xiaohua was trying every possible means to repay him. If he refused, it would definitely make Xiaohua feel uncomfortable and think that he looked down upon what she gave her.
"As long as you like it, I'll knit you a scarf next time. Brother Chen, what color do you like?"
Zhou Chen said tactfully: "Xiaohua, thank you for the gloves, but I don't need the scarf. I don't like wearing scarves. It's troublesome."
"Oh, that's it. Brother Chen, if you need anything, you can tell me. As long as I can do it, I can do it for you."
Xiaohua didn't have any thoughts. Since Zhou Chen didn't like it, she wouldn't knit, but she still wanted to do something to help Zhou Chen.
"I don't lack anything, and I don't need anything. But you, how have you been studying lately?"
"It's very good. Cheng Yaya and Yuan Shanqing are helping me. If I don't understand anything, I just ask them. They are both very good."
"What about your daily life, how much do you spend on food and drink?"
"It's all good. I go fishing with Brother Xiaowa and Grandpa Qiang after school and on weekends. I can get some money from selling fish. I don't eat much at ordinary times, and I don't have to spend money to live in my own house.
So I don’t have many places to spend money.”
Although the child living in the fishing village is a girl, she is no stranger to fishing. She can go fishing with Qiang Xiaowa and others to earn some living expenses. As for the place to live, no one lives in her house now, she is the only one.
, so you don’t have to worry about staying there.
"Well, if you need anything or are missing anything, just tell us and we will help you."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, I know."
Xiaohua smiled brightly. She put on a school uniform and took care of herself. She gradually showed the youthful atmosphere of a girl. She was no longer as inferior and shy as before, and looked much more cheerful.
Although he initially helped Xiao Hua to complete his side mission, Zhou Chen felt quite happy when he saw how happy Xiao Hua was now. He would naturally be happy if he did good deeds and helped people in need.
Sending gloves was just the beginning. Later, Xiaohua would come to Zhou Chen every once in a while, but most of them were after school, outside the school. Sometimes they gave him something to eat, and sometimes they gave him something they caught from fishing.
The seafood was delivered to Zhou Chen's house personally, so that Zhou Chen's uncle and aunt knew about Xiao Hua's existence.
After school that day, Qiang Xiaowa told Zhou Chen to wait a moment, Xiaohua would have something to give him later.
So Zhou Chen waited in the classroom for a while. After everyone else left, Xiaohua quickly came to their class with her schoolbag on her back and took out a large bag of dried fish in a plastic bag from her schoolbag.
"Brother Chen, this is the dried fish I specially selected for you. Take it back and eat it with your uncle, aunt and others."
Winter is very suitable for drying small fish, and as a fisherman who lives by the sea all year round, he also has great experience in drying small fish. Zhou Chen took a look and found that it was indeed very good.
"Xiaohua, you don't have to think about me every time, you can sell these."
"It doesn't matter, and it won't cost much. I made this specially for you. I still have some at home. When they are dried, I will give them to Sister Miao Miao and the others."
"Okay, thank you, Xiaohua."
What else could Zhou Chen say, he could only put away the dried fish and put it in his schoolbag to take home.
"Let's go home."
As soon as Zhou Chen and Xiaohua walked out of the classroom, they saw Han Shu passing by.
Han Shu saw Xiaohua and asked, "Li Chunhua, it's been so long since school, why haven't you gone home yet?"
"Teacher Han, I'm ready to go home now."
Seeing the class teacher, Xiaohua seemed more reserved.
"Well, it's already dark, so you should go back early and be careful on the way back."
"I understand. Goodbye, Teacher Han."
"Zhou Chen, wait a minute and come to the office with me. I have something to do with you."
After Han Shu finished speaking, she took steps and walked straight towards the office. Seeing this, Zhou Chen said to Xiaohua: "You go back first, the little one is waiting for you at the school gate."
Xiaohua said goodbye to Zhou Chen, then left with her schoolbag on her back.
Zhou Chen came to the office and saw Han Shuzheng sitting on a chair with her arms crossed. There was no one else in the office except her.
"Teacher Han."
Han Shu looked at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen could clearly see the emotion in her eyes.
"You have a very good relationship with Li Chunhua. She doesn't go home after school, but she still gives you things. I heard that she gave you gloves and food. Are you having puppy love? Isn't the school?
Did you know that puppy love is allowed?"
Hearing that Han Shu even talked about puppy love and spoke in such a serious tone, Zhou Chen's expression also became serious.
"Puppy love? No, I just helped Xiaohua a little before and she just thanked me. It has nothing to do with puppy love."
"Really? It's just a little help. She will often give you things and gloves?"
Han Shu actually heard about this from others, but was not sure. She happened to see it today, so she asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "It's true that I helped her. She only gave me things to thank me. As for puppy love, it doesn't exist at all. I won't fall in love prematurely. Even if I want to find a romantic partner, I will wait until after the college entrance examination."
"You really think so?"
"certainly."
Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "This is the right way to think. The college entrance examination is the most important turning point in life. The most important thing in this period is the college entrance examination. Don't think about anything else, let alone fall in love prematurely.
It will only delay your studies.”
"Yes, Teacher Han is right. I listen to Teacher Han. You will never fall in love before the college entrance examination. Even if you do, you have to wait until after the college entrance examination."
"Um?"
Han Shu's expression changed, and then she persuaded her earnestly: "Zhou Chen, you are still young, even after the college entrance examination. The person you are dating is a lifelong matter, and you cannot blindly decide."
She didn't realize at all that as a substitute teacher, she didn't actually need to talk to a student about this. But when facing Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but care and pay attention, so she didn't regard herself as Zhou Chen's teacher at all.
Similarly, Zhou Chen did not regard Han Shu as his teacher, and since there were only two of them here, he gradually spoke more freely.
"What Teacher Han said is that of course we cannot blindly decide on this kind of thing, but I have already made a decision. I will not think about these things again until the college entrance examination is over. To be honest with Teacher Han, I don't really like naive girls.
I like someone who is more mature, and they say that a female junior should hold gold bricks, and I want to hold two gold bricks."
After saying that, his bright eyes stared closely at Han Shu.
Han Shu didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant at first, but after looking at Zhou Chen's strange expression and extension, she immediately turned red after thinking about it carefully.
If a female junior is holding a gold brick and two gold bricks, isn't she six years older? And isn't she just over six years older than Zhou Chen?
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly became a mess, she could no longer stay calm, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"You're a high school student, so you don't feel ashamed to say this. It's getting late and it's already dark outside. You should go home quickly. I'm going to eat too."
After saying that, she started to pack up the books in a panic, pretending to be very busy.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said nothing more. The reason why he said this today was to reassure Han Shu, because Han Shu called him here to talk, and because he saw the relationship between him and Xiaohua.
The relationship seems to be different.
He does have a certain fondness for Han Shu. If he has to choose someone to be with, he will definitely choose someone he is familiar with and someone he likes, and he will not be shy about this kind of thing.
It's just that he is a student now and Han Shu is a teacher. He doesn't want to trouble the honest Han Shu because of these things, so he said that even if he wants to fall in love, he will get the college entrance examination, because after that they will
It's no longer a teacher-student relationship, so you don't have to worry so much anymore.
He knew that Han Shu must have understood what he meant, that's why she seemed so flustered. Now that she understood, his purpose had been achieved.
"Then, I'll go back first. Goodbye."
Han Shu waited for Zhou Chen to leave the office and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought of what Zhou Chen had just said and her face turned even redder.
She didn't know what kind of demon she was obsessed with. The less she wanted to think about it, the more she thought about it. She did see Li Chunhua and Zhou Chen getting very close and she felt unhappy, so she deliberately put it in her head.
Zhou Chen called over, but who knew that after Zhou Chen came, he would explode such a big thunder for her, which directly messed up her mind.
But thinking about what Zhou Chen just said, she really felt much calmer.
