"They didn't mean it. Since they have been punished, the past events are over. I am almost fine now. There is no need to remember them all the time, but thank you." Xu Ningrou laughed.

Lu Xuejiao snorted, "You lie down at home for more than half a month, and your temper is lost? Those who don't have a righteous behavior, should be punished properly, and save them later."

Xu Ning patted the hand holding her arm, "Could you also let me poke a hole for each of them?"

"I think it's OK!" Lu Xuejiao echoed jokingly.

When he walked to a seed booth, Xu Ning bent down, looked at the various seeds in a cloth bag in front of him, and asked, "Uncle, what kind of seeds are these?"

"What kind of seeds do you want?" The old man who was smoking a pipe pot saw Xu Ning, spit out the choking old dry tobacco, and pointed to the seeds in front of her to introduce them one by one, "There are pumpkins, cucumbers, mustard greens, and persimmons. …"

The old man told Xu Ning a little bit more at once. Xu Ning deliberated and bought some cucumber, lettuce, cabbage, and tomato seeds. Because the quantity of each item was very small, the total cost was less than three yuan. .

Yesterday morning Xu Jianjun gave Xu Ning two yuan, and the remaining three yuan was stuffed by the old lady just now, and now it's half of it all at once.

"What do you buy seeds for, you can't grow some of them now." Lu Xuejiao asked.

"Sprinkle it at home and take a look." Xu Ning replied after attending the banquet. Lu Xuejiao didn't plan to investigate the details anyway, but just asked casually.

"Leave you free." Lu Xuejiao took Xu Ning's arm again, "Will you go to school tomorrow?"

"Go, I'm almost fine, and there are only two months left to take the exam. I can't go."

Lu Xuejiao wailed and put her head on Xu Ning’s shoulder, “I’m the most annoyed of the exam. Anyway, the first place is definitely one of Yang Bo and Lu Kang, but our math teacher really likes Yang Bo. You don’t know. On Monday, the old man checked his math homework. Several people in our class didn’t hand in the homework. All of them were taken to the classroom door by the old man during the math class. If Yang Bo doesn't write, he will definitely not let Yang Bo punish him and he will lose his heart."

Xu Ning was a little dumbfounded when she heard this.

Yang Bo and Lu Kang are the role models in their class. Both of them dominate the top three, regardless of their class or grade, with a class leader and a study committee member. However, it is clear that Lu Kang’s popularity is higher than that of Yang Bo. One point, it can only be said that Yang's wavelength is average and his figure is quite stocky, while Lu Kang is quite fair. The key is that his motor cells are very good. Such a boy is very tempting to a girl who is just beginning to love.

Another piece of dark history, Xu Ning seems to be a little moved.

Thinking that in her previous life, she used to wander around twice in front of others pretending to be inadvertent, so she wanted to find a hole to jump in and never come out again.

It can be said that more than half of the girls in the class will smile very squeamishly in front of Lu Kang.

It's nothing more than attracting the other's attention.

"If you want the teacher to be partial, you should work harder to get a good grade in the final exam."

When Lu Xuejiao heard this, she shook her head directly, "I'll forget it, let Teacher Zhou be partial to me, I can work harder. I am not happy to let the old math man be partial to me."

After all, Lu Xuejiao talked to Xu Ning about Xiao Zhou, the Chinese teacher of the head teacher, and how handsome he was. I heard that he was a high-achieving student from the first normal school in their province. Of course, Xu Ning naturally knew this. The key Teacher Zhou is the youngest and most handsome male teacher in the school. When the junior high school was divided into classes, I saw their head teacher and looked at other classes, but the students in other classes were very envious.

Suddenly thinking of her academic performance and abilities, Xu Ning's brain is a little bit painful. It seems that she will have to work very hard in the next two months. Her current grades have always been ranked about 40 out of the 50 students in the class. Said to be the countdown.

Her requirements are not high, as long as she can advance a few places at the end of the first term, it will be enough. It's still impossible. She understands her own abilities and is definitely not so reliable.

However, what Xu Ning did not tell Lu Xuejiao was that Teacher Zhou seemed to be recruited by the county after their final exams in the second year of junior high, and asked him to teach high school students at the County No. 1 Middle School. However, at the time, Teacher Xiao Zhou seemed to think it was not right. They were mature and delayed for two years. They went to the county after the middle school entrance examination was over. They didn’t know what Xu Ning would do in the future, but if you really think about it, the future should be very good. After all, the teaching level is really good. It's very good, it can be said that it is young and purposeful.

Now it’s no better than later generations. Some parents have to stuff teachers with red envelopes during the holidays. Now if you accept red envelopes, it’s easy to be reported. If you come down to investigate, your teacher resume will leave a serious stain, which may cause You leave the teaching staff.

For Xu Ning now, which teacher prefers casually, she wants to read and become knowledgeable, not for others, but for herself, nothing more.

Back at the booth, Xu Ning introduced Lu Xuejiao to her grandmother, and then the two girls sat on the cart and talked.

"Your family came to the market today to sell things? Is the business good?"

"It's okay. My grandmother has pickled a lot of pickles this year. New dishes will be ordered soon. If you can't finish them, you will waste them there." Xu Ning filled Lu Xuejiao with a spoon and handed it to her: " Eat it for you, my grandma's craftsmanship is very good."

Lu Xuejiao didn’t refuse. There were just a little bit of pickles on the left and right. She didn’t think it was shorthanded. In school, whoever brought delicious food would give them a bite. Children, right? .

The two large pots of pickled vegetables were almost twelve o'clock in the early morning when it was light, and when they were almost sold out.

Although the taste of their pickles is very good, no one has money in the family. In this era, the economy has just developed in the first-tier cities, and their rural areas have just left the big pot of rice. Their income mainly depends on the annual food in the family's land. It’s amazing to have one thousand or eight hundred yuan a year. The average family can earn six to seven hundred yuan a year. With more children in the family, not everyone can afford to read.

"Ningning, you go and call Xiaozheng to go home." Yu Chunhua turned her head and exhorted.

Xu Ning nodded, and said to Lu Xuejiao: "Are you going home?"

"Go back!" If it's not really too late, Lu Xuejiao would definitely be going with Xu Ning.

Parting from her at the crossroads, Xu Ning went to school slowly.
