"Ouch~ (Don't eat me, I don't taste good~)" The native dog ran away with his tail between his legs.
"Wow——(You know what I'm talking about)" Ma Xiaolong was very happy. It felt so good to be able to 'communicate' with animals.
"..." Zhusha was a little dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"
"I'm here to help you get revenge!" Ma Xiaolong said, "This dog wanted to bite you. I said it dared to bite you, so I stewed it and made soup, and that scared it away."
"...You are great."
"It's just great." Ma Xiaolong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no monsters or ghosts can even touch a hair on your head."
Zhu Sha chuckled lightly. Although my little husband makes mistakes from time to time, it's fun, isn't it?
"Meow~ (Azimao, come with me to catch the Smurf)"
Cat: "Idiot."
"Tweet~(You stupid birds, I am a phoenix, why don't you come here to worship me)"
Sparrow: "Silly bird."
"Hey~ (But my brother is the Great Immortal of Yangli? I am your eldest brother, the Great Immortal of Huli!)"
Sheep: "Sick!"
"..." Zhusha rubbed her temples, okay! It's too much fun and gives me a headache.
When I got home, Zhang Chiling hadn't come back yet, but Chen Jun had already come back and was reciting questions in the living room.
Chen Jun is not a genius. Her academic performance can be consistently among the top ten in her grade all year round because she is diligent enough.
Diligence can make up for weakness, which has always been Chen Jun's life creed.
"Brother, Sister Zhusha, you are back!" Chen Jun greeted them happily when they saw them coming back.
"You're back, where are you memorizing the questions?" Ma Xiaolong walked over and asked.
"Yeah." Chen Jun nodded and said, "History is all memorized by rote, but my memory is not very good, so I can only work harder."
Chen Jun's primary school entrance exam is two days away. She has almost mastered mathematics and Chinese. Only history requires memorizing historical events. There are too many specific dates. Sometimes she clearly remembers them, but after a few days, she forgets them.
Your memory will be confused and you will lose points.
This is also a problem that all ordinary students will face. It is too difficult to memorize by rote due to poor memory.
"Here, let me teach you a trick." Ma Xiaolong took the history book from Chen Jun's hand, and the relevant teaching techniques had already appeared in his mind: "For things like history, you must first control the timeline. The concept of timeline is clear.
The rest is just a little bit of filling. You should know all the dynasty songs by heart, right?"
"Yes." Chen Jun nodded: "Xia, Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou are divided into two periods..."
After listening to her reciting the Dynasty Song, Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Next, we will fill in the time, events, and the whole story from the textbook. In order to facilitate memory, we can compile these things into a song."
"Song?" Chen Jun was stunned.
"Yes." Ma Xiaolong said: "Memory by rote is boring and boring, and the efficiency is extremely slow. But if you sing these contents as lyrics, it will easily deepen your memory and make it difficult to forget."
Chen Jun's eyes lit up and he admired: "Brother is so smart."
"Haha, just average, third in the world." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "There is too much historical content, so in order to memorize it quickly, we use the form of rap, which is fast and rhythmic, making it easier to remember."
"Yeah." Chen Jun nodded repeatedly. Under Ma Xiaolong's narration, he felt that his brain was working much better. After nearly four hours of study, Chen Jun was surprised to find that he seemed to have memorized all the key contents of history.
Lived.
"Yao Yao, July 7, 1937, Marco Polo Bridge, we started the war of resistance..." These melodies were firmly engraved in her mind. As long as she thought about it, they would automatically pop up immediately, and they were absolutely unmistakable.
"Brother, I remember everything." Chen Jun was very excited, full of gratitude for Ma Xiaolong's teachings, and his inner emotions couldn't help but affirm him: Brother, even if you don't belong to me, I will stay loyal to you for the rest of my life.
"That's good. I'll help you with Chinese and math tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you'll be able to pass the test as soon as you pass the exam." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Uh-huh."
"Okay, your brother has to take the high school entrance examination tomorrow, so let's stop here today!" Zhang Chiling walked into the study and pointed at her watch: "It's almost ten o'clock."
"Is it so late?" Chen Jun was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he felt that time passed so fast when he was studying.
"Good teaching time always goes very quickly." Ma Xiaolong stretched and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Mom, help me fry some steamed bun slices and cut some shredded pickles. I'll cushion my belly later."
"Okay." Zhang Chiling said, "Mom will fry two more eggs for you."
"Well, thank you, Mom."
Ma Xiaolong went back to the bedroom to get his pajamas first. Zhu Sha had already finished taking a bath and was lying on the bed in her pajamas, flipping through the latest issue of "The King of Comics". Seeing him come in, he asked with a smile: "Is the tutoring finished?"
"It's done." Ma Xiaolong took out his pajamas from the closet and asked, "I'm going to take a bath and have something to eat later. Do you want to eat?"
"I won't eat it." Zhu Sha pointed at Sister Baoer in "The King of Comics" and said, "I think "Under One Person" can be made into a movie. I should have no problem playing Sister Baoer."
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong said: "It's rare that you take the initiative to play Sister Bao'er, so don't ruin the classic image I wrote."
"That depends on your ability as a screenwriter and director." Zhu Sha directly kicked out the responsibility.
"Suddenly I feel so much pressure, otherwise I still won't shoot?"
"hehe."
"..." Ma Xiaolong waved his hand: "I'm going to take a shower."
A night of silence.
After breakfast the next day, with Zhang Chiling's encouragement and Chen Jun's blessings, Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha went to the high school entrance examination room.
The two of them were lucky enough to be assigned to the examination room of No. 2 Middle School, so they didn't have to move. Dai Yu was not bad either. He went to the examination room of No. 1 Middle School and could walk home directly after the exam.
The moment you enter the examination room, the system prompts.
[Ding, trigger the exam task, exam level—medium to high.]
[Task 1: Rank first in the city in Chinese language test scores. If the task is completed, 10 skill points will be awarded; if the task fails, there will be no reward. 】
[Task 2: Rank first in the city in math test. If the task is completed, 10 skill points will be awarded; if the task fails, there will be no reward. 】
[Task 3: The English test score is first in the city. The task is completed and 10 skill points are awarded; the task fails and there is no reward. 】
[Task 4: No. 1 in the city in physics exam. Task completed, 10 skill points will be awarded; task failed, no reward. 】
[Task 5: The political examination score is first in the city. If the task is completed, 10 skill points will be awarded; if the task fails, there will be no reward. 】
[Task 6: Rank first in the city in history test scores. If the task is completed, 10 skill points will be awarded; if the task fails, there will be no reward. 】
[Task 7: Rank first in the city in geography test. Task completed, rewarded with 10 skill points; task failed, no reward. 】
[Task 8: The overall score is first in the city. When the task is completed, 10 attribute points will be awarded; if the task fails, there will be no reward.]
The high school entrance examination involves the city's ranking, and the examination level is also improved. If all tasks are completed, there will be a generous reward of 70 skill points and 10 attribute points.
Ma Xiaolong perked up: If I want this reward, it won’t be easy for anyone to do it!
After two days of exams, the moment Ma Xiaolong walked out of the exam room, he felt physically and mentally comfortable, and at the same time he felt a little bit reluctant: Brother's junior high school life...is over?
The results of the high school entrance examination will be announced half a month later. The inquiry method is the telephone hotline. The admission notice from the first choice school of the high school entrance examination will be sent directly to the school where the candidate is located.
My old class had already made arrangements before the exam. The exam results will be announced on July 10. You can check them by yourself through the exam number. On July 12, you will come to the school to get your graduation certificate and admission notice, and have a tea party to celebrate your junior high school graduation.
Regardless of whether they did well or not, the candidates were relieved for the time being. Facing the upcoming more than two-month holiday, everyone had only one idea - to enjoy the holiday.
But Ma Xiaolong didn't have this idea. He had too many things to do during this holiday. The first and most important thing was to clean the Zhusha family's house.
Before that, the two nannies must be dismissed.
The two nannies have worked at Zhu Sha's house for several years and have always done their jobs properly. Ma Xiaolong and Zhu Sha like them very much because they are both girls from Shuangshi Village. There is a high probability that they will marry the same villagers in the future and spend their time together.
They have lived in a martial arts family all their lives, so Cinnabar has not been worried about their future.
On the evening of the day after the high school entrance examination, Cinnabar gave the two nannies a severance pay of 2,000 each, ending the employment relationship.
Another day, Chen Jun went to the examination room of No. 1 Middle School to take the entrance exam for primary school to junior high school. Ma Xiaolong drove a Sanbengzi and delivered the TV, refrigerator, and washing machine to Dai Yu's house.
It was agreed last year that once the house is demolished, everything in the house will be picked up by Yu for free. Although Dai Yu didn't want to take advantage of this, considering the special relationship with Zhu Sha, she still rudely got the large electrical appliances to herself.
at home.
Incidentally, Zhu Sha also asked someone to move her home telephone number to Dai Yu's home.
Because the initial installation fee was too expensive, Dai Yu's family never had a phone. Zhu Sha considered that he would definitely not use his own landline in the future, so he directly gave the landline number to Dai Yu. This way, it would be much easier to contact him in the future.
When Dai Yu's parents returned home, they were stunned when they saw a bunch of large and small household appliances at home: What is this...?
Aside from the home appliances given to Dai Yu, in fact, many of the furniture in Zhu Sha's home are very high-end. It would be too costly to sell them on the second-hand market, but she couldn't keep them.
After much deliberation, Ma Xiaolong gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and simply bought two buildings near No. 1 Middle School. This nearby is a newly built residential building that was demolished a few years ago. It has collective heating. One apartment is 89.2 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen and one kitchen.
Bathroom, the space of each room is not big, but it is enough, and it is transparent from north to south, square and square, absolutely no traps.
It's just that the price is not very friendly to ordinary working-class people, so in addition to the demolished households, there are still many vacant ones that cannot be sold, which happen to be cheaper than Ma Xiaolong and Cinnabar.
Both houses have Zhusha's name written on them, and they cost 200,000. In twenty years' time, even if the house price cannot increase tenfold, it will not be a problem if it increases seven or eight times.
This is a serious school district, with No. 1 Middle School, Normal School and Jiefang Primary School all covered. Even if No. 1 Middle School cancels the junior high school in two years, there is still No. 4 Middle School not far from here that specializes in junior high schools. It is simply a golden school district.
house.
Even if you don't live in it yourself, if you rent it out, people will definitely grab it.
For example, if your child is about to take the college entrance examination, wouldn’t you, the parent, rent a house to accompany you to study?
Come on, come on, there are good houses here. Although the monthly rent is a little more expensive, for the future of the child, what does it mean to pay for it?
An old capitalist.
Buying a house is very simple. You can buy it on the same day and get the keys on the same day. The house registration is being handled by a dedicated person and will be delivered within half a month.
Because he brought his own simple decoration and there was no need for it, Ma Xiaolong did not decorate and moved directly.
The two houses just contained the moved furniture, and everything was just right.
After all the furniture in the house was moved, Ma Xiaolong began to demolish the house. Without asking for help, he demolished the house by himself, took out dozens of beams, and sold them to wood collectors, doors, windows, etc.
They were also dismantled and sold to flea markets.
After working hard for more than ten days, I finally squeezed out the last bit of value from the house and received thousands of dollars in feedback.
After more than ten days of hard work, he got such a small amount of money, which was completely out of proportion to the value of Ma Xiaolong's time, but Ma Xiaolong never tired of it.
It was also a habit he developed after working as a construction worker for many years in his previous life. Not working in the past few years made his hands itchy. This time he had the opportunity to demolish a house, which finally allowed him to experience the happiness of his previous life again.
The house was demolished and Zhusha officially moved into Ma Xiaolong's house. Except for not being able to chat with Dai Yu on weekends, everything else was going well.
In this way, the time came to July 10th. This day was the day when the results of the high school entrance examination were announced. At ten o'clock in the morning, under the gaze of Zhu Sha, Zhang Chiling, and Chen Jun, Ma Xiaolong picked up the phone, dialed the score inquiry hotline, and entered the test number.
, and soon got feedback from the automatic prompt sound.
"Ma Xiaolong: 120 points in Chinese, 120 points in mathematics, 120 points in English, 80 points in physics, 80 points in politics, 60 points in history, 60 points in geography, with a total score of 660 points, ranking first in the city."
[Ding, the host has completed all tasks and will be rewarded with a total of 70 skill points and 10 attribute points. 】
"Great!" Zhang Chiling exclaimed excitedly.
"Brother, congratulations." Chen Jun was even more excited than Zhang Chiling, but she was very restrained and said with a bright smile on her face: "To be first in the city, it's amazing."
"Haha, it's nothing." Ma Xiaolong smiled and hung up the phone, then pressed the hands-free button and began to enter Zhusha's exam number to check the results.
"Cinnabar: 108 points in Chinese, 120 points in mathematics, 113 points in English, 72 points in physics, 77 points in politics, 60 points in history, 60 points in geography, with a total score of 630 points, sixth in the city."
"Beautiful!" Ma Xiaolong raised his right hand happily: "My wife, you did well in the exam."
Zhusha smiled and high-fived him, saying, "It's okay. I used to be third in grade, but I didn't expect that I would only be sixth in the city."
"It's already very good. There are tens of thousands of candidates in the city. You can get sixth place. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?" Ma Xiaolong said.
"That's right." Zhu Sha nodded with a smile and said, "Call Sister Lin and ask her what her grades are?"
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong immediately dialed Dai Yu's home phone number, which was also Zhu Sha's former home landline number. The call was quickly connected: "Hello?"
"Sister Lin, have you checked your scores? Where is your score in the city?" Ma Xiaolong asked.
"..." Dai Yu said: "The total score is 648 points, second in the city."
"Not bad!" Ma Xiaolong made an OK gesture to Zhusha and said with a smile: "Zhusha is ranked sixth in the city. We can go to the same high school."
"Yeah." Dai Yu was also very happy: "In the next three years, I will definitely try my best to beat you once!"
"..."You haven't given up yet?
