The 18 Bronzemen Cultivation Plan
The winter vacation is approaching, and the results of the final exam have come out. As expected, both twins did well, with Li Wei and Li Lin scoring double hundreds, Li Lianhui scoring 98 and 99 points respectively, Wu Feng scoring one hundred and ninety-eight points respectively, and even Er Pangzi scored over ninety points. The Luo brothers also scored over ninety points, despite their conflict with the twins making Li Wei feel annoyed, as an adult she couldn't be bothered to argue with children, and she often supervised them in their studies.
This made Li Wei very surprised, although the current textbooks are relatively simple and the exams are not very demanding, but the time spent by Luo brothers on learning, Li Wei estimated without exaggeration, can be counted in hours, yet they still managed to get good grades, it's really astonishing.
Li Wei suspected that it was either because the two kids were too clever or their eyes were too sharp.
Teacher Meng was also very satisfied with this group, which often had accidents. He gave Li Wei a "Three Good Students" certificate, two Tianzi grid notebooks and a plastic leather diary, and praised her highly. This made Li Wei, who was not old at heart, secretly happy for a moment. There's no one without vanity, and Li Wei didn't lack it at all.
The north's winter days are bitterly cold and icy, outdoors is desolate, but business at home is booming.
Recently, with the addition of my mother, production and sales have increased, almost producing as much as selling. In my mother's eyes, it can be said that every day is a gold rush. Soon, two more women were hired to produce, and by the Spring Festival, there were already six people working, and many more were selling and delivering goods outside.
Due to the increase in production, the big stove that heated the kang was too hot for people to sleep on, and besides, the big stove couldn't meet the production requirements. In Li Wei's courtyard, a simple large shed was temporarily set up, and two large stoves were built to steam food. This reminded Li Wei of the "black dens" often seen on TV in later generations. Unfortunately, they didn't even have a black den now.
Li Wei is no longer following suit, her mother's financial mind has developed, but the private house money has been growing continuously. Now her mother is not strict with internal family management, and the supply of pocket money is sufficient. Li Wei often applies for funds from her grandparents, parents, and even her father, including the twins' share, and the twins have to apply to Li Wei for money. So, apart from normal expenses, everything is saved in the bank, which is a good thing, she will have a big use for it in the future.
Before the Spring Festival, the dumpling workshop was busier than ever. Although the adults were too busy to pay attention to the children, Li Wei and the twins were still very happy. Nothing else, their family finally bought a TV, a 14-inch black-and-white Peony brand TV.
The happiest ones are the twins, who spend their days wandering around the TV. Fortunately, TV stations don't broadcast programs all day long now, or else Li Wei would have to think of ways to limit their TV time again.
Another good thing is that, although I didn't officially make up with my auntie Cheng Fei, my grandfather paid the bill and my aunt led the team, taking Li Wei and her siblings on a big shopping spree around town. They got not only new clothes for Chinese New Year but also many other things they needed or didn't need. Li Wei was so excited that she almost shed tears of joy, it's been a long time since she last went shopping, even though the goods were quite ridiculous.
Compared to her mother and grandmother's stubbornness, Auntie Cheng Fei was quite supportive of Grandpa selling mantou. Grandma had a hard time standing alone. After the New Year, she didn't say anything else.
Anyway, my spare time is richer now.
Li Wei's daily routine consisted of supervising the twins as they did their homework and then taking them out for a walk. Occasionally, Wu Feng and Er Pangzi would also come over. Apart from doing homework, Li Wei would always bring back some buns or something for them to eat. After all, not every household was like theirs, with steamed buns piled up like mountains.
But Luo Er wasn't an enemy with the twins, they would sometimes come over to play with Li Lianhui. The two little ones had healed their wounds and forgotten the pain. They were very happy. But whenever Li Wei saw Luo Er, she got a headache. Luo Da, on the other hand, followed behind Old Man Cheng every time he came, helping him carry things or open doors. He never accepted any buns or mantou from them, but just followed along. It seemed like he was a fan of Old Man Cheng.
Li Wei coldly stared at him without saying a word. She thought to herself, "You little thing, you're not usually so arrogant. If you have the ability, go ahead and be arrogant with anyone. Stand up straight and don't try to curry favor or flatter people."
Last time Luo Da blocked Li Wei. Although Li Wei and the others were numerous, they didn't suffer much. But Li Wei's chest was still bumped by Luo Da and hurt. Fortunately, she was young and hadn't started developing yet. Even so, in the future, if her development wasn't good and her breasts grew small. It might be because of Luo Da's vicious hand. So every time Li Wei saw him, she felt resentful.
And considering Luo Er Tai is too naughty and Luo Da can't be provoked, the twins' learning progress is not bad, they have almost finished the second-grade textbook. On New Year's Eve, Li Wei formally asked her mother: "Mom, look at us studying so well, after the holiday, when school starts, you go tell the principal, let us skip a grade and directly read the second grade."
Old lady Cheng Min looked at Li Wei with some doubt: "Skipping a grade is a good thing, but can you guys do it? Xiao Hui didn't get double hundreds after all." Cheng Min, who had mild son preference, always had some thoughts about her eldest son not getting double hundreds.
Li Wei knew her mother's thoughts, and said sternly: "According to the national education system, 60 points is a pass, 70 points is average, 80 points is good, and 90 points is excellent. Your son has already achieved excellence, what's not okay with that? As for my and Xiaolin's perfect scores, it's not saying Xiaohui isn't excellent, but rather that we two are too excellent, excellently excellent. Mother, you just go to the school to apply, leave the rest to your excellent eldest daughter, I won't let you lose face."
Li Wei finished praising herself without even a hint of blush on her face.
Li Zhaoxing has been very satisfied with the children's performance this year, except for Li Wei's two times of killing chickens and giving them to monkeys. So he said to Li Wei: "We'll talk about it later, but you guys have to work hard, or else when the school checks, losing face won't be your own business, I'll test you before school starts."
Li Wei also knew that this matter was not just a matter of talking, but had to bring out some actual things. So after the second year of junior high school, after visiting her grandmother's house for New Year's greetings, she began to let the twins study on time. Wu Feng and Er Pangzi were also pulled together by Li Wei, no way, they had feelings too. Moreover, in their struggle against the invasion of the Luo brothers, Li Wei decided to take them under her wing as younger brothers. And younger brothers, of course, had to be covered.
Let's study hard together to escape from Rohan Brothers' evil clutches.
So, two days before the start of school, three siblings passed their father's examination relatively easily. The reason I say "relatively" is that Li Lianhui was careless when doing his homework and often left out horizontal strokes or dots when writing, making Li Wei suspect that he was like Lin Daiyu, who had a taboo against her mother's name, Zhen, and would omit strokes when writing.
But after all, Dad went to school to apply, and Mom has been busy with Grandpa since the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
The school's exam was much simpler than Li Zhaoxing's, it was the final exam paper of the second grade last year, and all three siblings did well in the exam, passed and were assigned to a new class, Class 2, Grade 2.
And Er Pangzi and Wu Feng also forced their parents to apply, the exam scores were not as high as Li Wei's, but they were okay, in a situation where it was possible to pass or fail, but under the strong pressure of Lin Si Shu and Wu Feng's mother, Principal Chen yielded again. And he also assigned them to Class 2 of Year 2.
If it's said that Wu Feng and Er Baozi's skipping grades still made the principal a bit uneasy, then Luo Brothers' request to skip grades made the principal shake his head thoroughly like a rattle drum. However, however, he couldn't withstand the mighty aura of Wang Ba's tiger-like physique and the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.
Just as Lao San's aunt was about to grab Principal Chen's arm, Principal Chen reluctantly gave in once again. Alas, a scholar encountering a soldier - no matter how reasonable you are, you can never get your point across.
In Principal Chen's nearly thirty years of education career, it was the first time to see skipping levels so actively and enthusiastically, chasing each other without considering level ability, has skipping levels become as cheap as Chinese cabbage now?
Li Wei led the four children into the second-grade classroom, and on the second day of school, as soon as they entered the classroom, she saw the Luo brothers sitting in front of her and the twins, just like before. At first, Li Wei thought she had walked into the wrong classroom, but upon closer inspection, all the other students were new faces, so it was indeed the right one.
It wasn't until after two classes that Li Wei finally accepted the cruel reality - yes, the Luo brothers had indeed followed her like shadows!
"My goodness, is there still no king's law? Principal Chen, although I know your principles are already questionable, you're someone who grew up reading the classics and should have some dignity and backbone. Although Lao San's aunt is formidable, the Luo brothers are also very dangerous, don't be so poisonous to the country's flowers..."
Principal Chen let out several sneezes in a row in the office.
No matter how much Li Wei complained, the fact that the little demons were still sitting in the front row remained unfeelingly in front of her.
Alas, life is like a ball of twine, always with those two little knots that can't be untied.
Moreover, Li Wei was suspicious. Every time her gaze swept across the faces of the two brothers, Luo Da seemed to be mocking her. What a big deal about a little kid, she must have been overly suspicious, Li Wei comforted herself.
Of course, the new school life is not without its highlights. The future famous sports beauties of the school, Chen Wei and Zhou Yujie, are in this class. Li Wei remembers that they were idol-like figures in their elementary school days, Chen Wei excelled in long jump and sprinting, while Zhou Yujie was outstanding in sprinting and middle-distance running. In her previous life, Li Wei often saw them practicing on the playground during spring and autumn, as if preparing for some competition.
Li Wei's athletic ability was average, so at that time she especially admired the classmates who were elegant and refreshing in the sports meeting, especially such a beautiful classmate.
However, they are still young now and have not had many opportunities to perform yet, nor are they that famous.
The weather is gradually warming up, and looking at the little beauty who has been swaying in front of her eyes all day, Li Wei's spring heart also begins to sprout.
On the wide and prosperous road to a happy life with beautiful women, she has already taken the first step - changing her name. And she also has an important economic condition - her family is now a nouveau riche. Moreover, with her mother's personality, they will continue to rise.
One evening, my mother said to my siblings and me with deep feeling: "I'm going to be like this for the rest of my life. You three must continue to work hard, study well, and go to college in the future. Then all my hardships will not be in vain."
Between the lines, it seems like I've somewhat resigned myself to falling into a mercantile path.
Li Wei secretly delighted in it.
So Li Wei thought seriously for a moment, the external conditions of becoming a beauty, one is that the face is pretty, and the other is that the figure is good. The standard for a pretty face is not uniform, she grew up to be considered delicate. However, there is a basic requirement - the skin must be white, smooth and radiant, one whiteness covers all ugliness. Her dad and mom are not dark-skinned, especially her mom, whose skin tone is quite fair, so starting to take care of it now still has potential. She wrote down an entry in the diary she got as a three-good student.
As for her figure, Li Wei was a bit resentful. After the twins grew up, one was over 1.8 meters and the other was over 1.7 meters, why could she only be called 1.6 meters when in fact she wasn't even that? Her ideal height was greater than 1.65 but less than 1.68, make a note of this too.
Another standard for a good figure is the three-dimensional standard, with chest circumference being the most important. Li Wei made another note.
Li Wei thought carefully for half a day and felt that it was still hopeful to work hard now. So she wrote down the improvement measures in her memory, densely packed on two pages, and drew the key points that can be implemented at present, starting to prepare.
Firstly, secretly 'applied' to Grandpa for expenses, bought a basketball and a sun hat each. Under Li Lin's strong request, added another sun hat.
I seriously and sincerely applied to my mother for expenses, went to the farmer's market to buy a goat's milk, temporarily replacing cow's milk, and on the way bought a bottle of children's skin oil at the store. Under Li Lin's strong request, we used it together. This consumption speed is quite astonishing, every two weeks, Li Wei has to repurchase a bottle again.
Another ten days, half a month's worth of pig trotters were bought and stewed with soybeans, peanuts and other ingredients. Except for my grandfather, everyone else disliked it.
As for sardines, spinach, carrots, and oranges that help increase height, except for sardines being hard to buy, I insist on eating one of the rest every day.
Rationally asked Dad for expenses, went to the new Xinhua bookstore in the city and carefully purchased beauty and fitness books, using "The Positive Life Attitude", "The Road to British English" and "English-Chinese Dictionary" as cover.
So far, the most difficult to consume is goat's milk. Li Lin and Li Lianhui said they wouldn't drink it, and their parents also disliked the taste. Only Grandpa and Li Wei persisted in drinking a small cup every morning, then frowning at each other. Li Wei even used it as a face wash and shower gel.
As for basketball, just let Grandpa set up a simple hoop, exercise for a while every day. This exercise is said to be good for growing taller and more agile, haven't you seen that all basketball players are quite tall?
Although short, he can't become an athlete.
The only trouble is that Li Lianhui, Erhuangzi and Luo Er always come to make trouble, eventually turning into a football match.
So, Li Wei spent a semester in a daze, with remarkable results: except for her chest not changing much, she grew a bit taller and had smooth, fair skin. According to Grandpa's words, she looked just like a city kid. Li Wei didn't dare ask which city kid she resembled - after all, city kids come in all colors too.
No matter what, Li Wei decided to grit her teeth and persevere, until it became a habit, no matter what, she had to put the beauty and beauty methods on that side into practice, and not become a beautiful person, she would not give up, vowing to carry out the beauty revolution to the end.
A famous woman once said, "Beauty is never redundant for women."
