Life doesn't seem to have changed much.

Although the relationship between parents is no longer as good as she was when she was a child, quarrels are always quarrels, and Xuezhu always believes that quarrels will not change the family.

Just like her and Zhu Qingying.

After a few days of the cold war, they were still the best friends after the reconciliation.

The end of the first semester of junior high school is heralding Xuezhu's identity as a junior high school student and ushering in one of the most important stages in her life - high school.

Compared to the fun of graduating from elementary school, everyone seems to pay more attention to Xuezhu's high school entrance examination.

Xuezhu doesn’t have to go to the Youth Palace to learn dance or the piano shop to learn piano from the next semester. Her mother helped her ask her teacher for a long vacation and she would do her best to review the high school entrance examination.

This winter vacation, my mother didn't let her go to her grandfather's house to play.

The reason is to stay at home to review.

There were so many winter and summer vacations before, Xuezhu spent several times at home. She had long been used to the scenery of her grandfather's winter and summer vacations in the countryside, and also missed the big yellow dogs and old hens raised by her grandmother in the countryside.

She was unhappy about this for several days.

Mom doesn't understand.

"You are never allowed to go to grandpa's house to play. Isn't it okay to play whatever you want after you finish the high school entrance exam?"

"Anyway, there is still one semester to review, so why are you anxious?" Xuezhu didn't understand her mother.

Song Yanping said earnestly: "If you have good grades, I will definitely not be in a hurry. The problem is that your physics and chemistry are not very good now. Look at your brother, one is in Union and the other is in Peking University. If you can't even pass the No. 1 Middle School exam, will you feel embarrassed to say hello in the community?"

What's so sorry for this?

How many students can enroll in No. 1 Middle School every year? How many junior high school students are in the city? Are those who cannot get into key high schools no longer face to see people?

Xuezhu complained that you and your father were embarrassed to say hello to others.

Children who grew up together in one unit ended up having such a big gap in learning, so they would definitely not be able to accept the good face of being a parent.

Seeing that her daughter looked disobedient, Song Yanping knew that she was in a rebellious period.

There was no choice but to find someone to enlighten her.

Xuezhu couldn't listen to her parents' words, and could listen to her brothers and sisters, especially Ning Ning, who was closest to her.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the older children finally have time to come back.

Even He Zhengyue, who had graduated from work, came back from Shanghai to celebrate the New Year in advance.

A few days after I came back, the sofa at home was not yet hot, and they were summoned by Aunt Song to do ideological work for Xuezhu.

"Auntie, we're here to find Xiaozhu."

The older children arrived as promised.

Song Yanping put on a large plate of fruit and snacks to entertain them.

"Auntie, should you peel an orange?"

Three older children stuff their hands under the table to keep warm. Sitting around the stove in the middle of winter and eating cold oranges is probably a must-have daily routine in winter.

Song Yanping peeled an orange for them alone, then cut two more, and wanted to take it into Xuezhu's room.

"You guys watch TV first. I'll give Xiaozhu oranges to eat. When she finishes writing the test paper, she will come out to chat with you."

Through the door, the brothers and sisters heard Xue Zhu's angry words: "I won't eat."

The three people who have survived the hard days look at each other.

Being stuck at home and talking to each other will make Xue Zhu even more disgusted. He Zhengyue is the oldest and speaks the most. When Song Yanping's face comes out of Xue Zhu's room with a very bad face, she immediately advises: "Auntie, it's the Chinese New Year in a few days, so don't force Xiao Zhu to stay in the room all day long and do her homework, let her come out and have some breathing."

"I didn't let her play, but she was really careless. You usually finish a test paper at school exams at most two hours, right? She hasn't even finished one chapter for a whole morning, and I don't know if she was secretly reading comic books in the room."

"I can't help writing when I don't have the heart to write," said Zhong Zihan. "We will take Xiaozhu to the street and make sure she will finish writing after a few strokes."

Song Yanping said funny: "It's true? Zihan, don't lie to aunt."

Zhong Zihan patted his chest and said, "Auntie, believe me."

In order to convince the aunt, he quietly poked Meng Yuning's thigh under the table.

The most effective thing is to say about the top scorer in the college entrance examination: "If she is still letting her be so bored, she will be in a bad mood, and even if we speak, it may not be useful."

"Okay, then I won't write the test paper for now, let her go out for a walk."

Song Yanping was persuaded and returned to Xuezhu's room and said, "Xiaozhu, your brother and sister are coming back to see you on vacation. Let's go out to play with them."

Xuezhu, who was forced to sit at the desk for a morning, finally moved her butt, which was already sitting on her numbness.

"It's cold outside, don't you hear it when you don't open your clothes? Don't catch a cold," Song Yanping looked at her daughter a few times, then went to the room to take out a scarf for her, wrapped her neck tightly, and finally nodded with confidence, "Okay, remember to wear those new shoes."

Xuezhu stood there at her mother's mercy.

When I went downstairs, there was a cold wind outside, my bangs were blowing in a mess, and Xuezhu was warm from the soles of her feet to her neck, not cold at all.

"Wow, I've changed into a new outfit during the Chinese New Year."

He Zhengyue was a girl. She was the first to discover that Xue Zhu was wearing a horn-button coat, pants and shoes on her feet were all new, especially the shoes. The toe was not even gray at all, and it was shiny. It was obvious that she had just worn it today.

Zhong Zihan quickly agreed with his sister: "It's good to be at home. I buy new things for everything during the Chinese New Year."

Xuezhu was in a bad mood, but when she heard them flattering, she soon turned cloudy and sunny.

Actually, my mother treats her very well.

This clothes cost several hundred yuan, and they are all up to the price of my mother's clothes. My mother took her to the mall to buy them. Because it is the new style this year, it is not discounted.

Xue Zhu's skin is white, and when she wears this thick coat, she looks like a porcelain doll the most when she wears this thick coat. In the end, she doesn't know whether it's because of the salesperson's words that kept praising her beauty that touched Song Yanping, or whether Song Yanping thinks that it's the Chinese New Year, so she has to buy the best-looking ones for her even if she doesn't have a discount.

When shopping that day, the mother and daughter were almost leaving, and the spoils were naturally the new outfit of Xue Zhu.

Xuezhu asked: "Then do you think my new clothes look good?"

He Zhengyue: "It looks good, of course it looks good."

Zhong Zihan: "Little Beauty."

She looked at Meng Yuning again.

Meng Yuning smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"

Xuezhu felt that he was teasing himself, and was a little anxious and wanted to know his answer.

But she had to be reserved and turned her head and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Good," Meng Yuning didn't expect that she was so impatient. She reached out and pulled her over and scratched her nose. "I can't even make jokes when I grow up? Looks good."

Xuezhu rubbed her nose with her hands and hummed.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, her brothers and sisters were relieved and took her to the big shopping mall on the streets in the city.

Because it is the Chinese New Year, there are many people in shopping malls, and all stores are being discounted. The recording speakers shout "20% off for the whole venue" or "buy one free one free", and some even get a discount for the final wave of performance at the end of the year.

He Zhengyue took Xuezhu straight to the video game city opened in the mall.

My sister knows her. Compared to shopping, Xuezhu is obviously more interested in this kind of place.

He Zhengyue, who was working, generously bought hundreds of game coins to give them to her younger brothers and sisters, so that they could play whatever they wanted.

Zhong Zihan patted Meng Yuning on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's play the game of zombies."

"You guys go, I'm not interested in fighting zombies. I'll take Xiaozhu to play with something else," He Zhengyue asked Xuezhu, "Xiaozhu, what do you want to play with?"

The game consoles in the video game city are full of colorful games. In the past, when I came to play with my friends, I had to think about how many coins I played, for fear of wasting a coin. Now I am suddenly rich and hold a handful of game coins in my hand, but I don’t know what to play first.

"I haven't thought about it yet." She said honestly.

"Okay, think about it slowly, let me know after thinking about it, let's watch them beat the zombies first."

He Zhengyue is actually not very interested in such places. She is more interested in the brand of women's clothing that is being discounted downstairs, but there is no way. Today she brought her younger brother and sister here, so she could only endure it first.

At first glance, the two younger brothers went to the video game city a lot, especially Zhong Zihan, who skillfully stole coins and picked up the gun.

"Strive to set a record," said Zhong Zihan.

Meng Yuning: "Yes."

He Zhengyue twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling that the two brothers were deliberately showing off their handsomeness, and they might have both died before they finished the first level.

Anyway, when she and her boyfriend came to the video game market, both of them had poor game skills and didn't even know what the boss in the first level looked like.

As a result, these two younger brothers weren't meant to be handsome.

After the first level was not injured, the two of them soon arrived at the second level. The children around them gathered more and more, staring at the two big brothers who were shooting zombies with guns.

There were many people around He Zhengyue and Xuezhu unknowingly.

Slowly, another girl came around to see her.

They are all young and fashionable girls, more excited than the children, and they just don’t applaud them.

Originally, two tall and handsome boys were easy to attract attention. In addition, they cooperated with tacit understanding. Although they were playing game guns, they could not resist their handsome posture and were extremely high-level. It was difficult to hit the last level. The two of them had no time to pay attention to the people around them and devoted themselves to the game. After a new record appeared, before they could exchange their winning eyes, the people around them rose and fell and said.

Meng Yuning put down his gun and looked for someone he knew in the crowd.

Xue Zhu was staring at him blankly. Her silly and admiring eyes made it difficult not to be vain. Meng Yuning couldn't resist her looking at herself with this kind of gaze. She pursed her lips slightly and digested this secret joy with her raised eyebrows.
