May 5th

  Gu Xiang didn't even tell her about such a big thing, she's becoming more and more unreasonable.

  In the past, Gu's mother thought it was a good thing that her daughter had her own ideas, but now she feels like she can't control her anymore.

  When Gu's mother returned home, Gu Xiang had already finished her homework and was lying on the sofa eating an apple.

  When she saw her mother's face wasn't good, Gu Xiang wisely retracted his feet and sat up straight, smiling at her mother in a flattering manner.

  Gu's mother didn't look at her and sat down on the other end of the sofa with a dark face.

  Gu Xiang picked up an apple from the tea table and asked: "Mom, want to eat an apple? I'll wash one for you?"

  She thought it was Teacher Jiang saying she had regressed in her studies.

  Gu's mother didn't catch her drift and pressed down on her, "Tell me about what happened at Tianyi Middle School."

  Gu Xiang also reacted and knew what was going on, dryly laughing twice before leaning against his mother's side, "What did Teacher Jiang say to you?"

  "Stop smiling and being so cheeky!"

  Gu Xiang saw that her mom was really angry, so she quickly stopped smiling. "Mom, didn't we agree before? We only looked at the city middle school and the first middle school."

  "So you can keep this from me? Do you know how important it is to choose a high school? Li Auntie's niece, who was one of the top students in her class when she was in junior high, didn't do well on the high school entrance exam and ended up going to a ordinary second-tier university..."

  As soon as she heard her mom start counting those friends and relatives, Gu Xiang got a headache and quickly apologized: "Alright, alright, I was wrong. Next time I'll definitely tell you. It's not that I thought it was impossible for me to go to Tianyi University, Teacher Jiang also said the tuition is very expensive..."

  Her mother gave her a sideways glance, "You're just a kid, don't worry about money, just focus on studying well!"

  Gu's mother had a firm attitude, so Gu Xiang couldn't do anything about it.

  The next day at school, she was a bit carried away by the emotions of the previous day, looking somewhat worried and unhappy.

  In a ordinary city it's still okay, but if she really went to a place like Tianyi Middle School where geniuses emerge in large numbers, Gu Xiang didn't have the confidence to remain calm.

  She's afraid that when her mother has worked hard to send her to school, she won't be able to learn anything.

  Gu Xiang usually smiled and laughed, but this day suddenly had a heartache and it was particularly evident.

  A few people gathered together in the gym and Lin Jiahuan asked her what was wrong. Gu Xiang then told them about it.

  Lin Jiahuan subconsciously exclaimed: "You're going to Tianyi Middle School?!"

  Gu Xiang slapped her lightly, "Are you listening to me?! That was suggested by Teacher Jiang, I didn't plan on going."

  Lin Jiahuan turned her head and asked Tang Lulu and Li Wei, "Aren't you two surprised at all?"

  After entering junior high school, most classmates began to secretly exert their efforts. As for Class 1, it's even more so, no one is willing to fall behind.

  Li Wei has not squeezed into the top ten this semester and has been hovering around 15th place.

  Teacher Jiang didn't mention anything about Tianyi being there either.

  Tang Lulu was different, her grades had always been stable, even if this semester her classmates were working hard to catch up, she still didn't fall out of the top five.

  But in this way, Teacher Jiang never found her alone to talk about volunteer work.

  So they both didn't answer after hearing Gu Xiang's words.

  At this time, Gu Xiang also felt the taste coming out. Although the relationship between several people was good, but after all, the situation was different, and not everyone could be as big-hearted as Lin Jiahuan. She just laughed it off.

  But Gu Xiang really didn't plan on going to a school like Tianyi, the most important thing right now is to dispel Mom's idea.

  That day during class break she went to Jiang teacher's office and said her thoughts.

  Teacher Jiang didn't expect her to be so resistant and had originally wanted to persuade her a bit more.

  Gu Xiang has already said: "Don't persuade me anymore, I've been thinking about things all day today, and I was distracted several times in class."

  Mr. Jiang burst out laughing as soon as he heard it, having taught for so many years and never encountered a student who would actively confess to their teacher about being distracted in class.

  But for now, it's just the mid-term exam of the first semester of junior high school, and the first round of review hasn't ended yet. It's still too early to say anything, and Teacher Jiang doesn't want to put pressure on Gu Xiang so early either. So he just went along with her words and let her discuss and decide with her family.

  In the evening, I returned to the store after school in my hometown, and Aunt Gu was sitting at the counter watching TV.

  The daughter returned home, and she just lifted her eyelids to take a glance.

  She had long been waiting for this moment.

  Gu Xiang thought her mother was like a child, and she found it amusing in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

  Gu Xiang went to the kitchen and took a look. The rice and dishes were all prepared as usual, and the dishes were also her favorite ones.

  Gu's mother didn't move, so she served herself two bowls of rice and arranged the dishes on the table.

  They are in third year of junior high school and get out of school later than the first two years, so Xiao Hei Pong always comes home first, eats something here, and then goes back home to do homework.

  Gu's mother was waiting for her daughter to come back and have dinner together.

  But that night's dinner was eaten in silence by Gu's mother, who usually cared about her daughter's life at school but now just quietly ate.

  Gu Xiang tried to start a conversation several times, but Gu's mother didn't respond, which really left her at a loss.

  After dinner, Gu Xiang returned home to do her homework and had just arrived when she received a call from her father.

  Although she had learned from her grandmother that her father and stepmother were divorced, Gu Xiang had never asked her father about it face to face.

  It was from then on that Dad Gu suddenly had less contact with her, and several times she called Grandma, Grandma also said that Dad Gu is often not at home now, don't know what he's busy with outside.

  Gu Xiang still has lingering fears about her father's business failure in his previous life, but for a junior high school student like her to guide her father in doing business is absolutely unrealistic.

  Luckily, his father still holds a large piece of school district housing that will definitely appreciate in value in the future.

  After Dad Gu asked her some things about life and study, he suddenly changed the subject, "Ya Ya, I heard that your teacher Jiang suggested you go to a good school?"

  Gu Xiang thought he had finally gotten to the point, this circle had turned her around so much that she couldn't even find her way north.

  "Dad, I don't want to go." She drew out the tone, with a bit of a spoiled tone, "I've heard that Tianyi is especially strict, all the top students in the province are there, and once you get in, it's all about competing for ranking. I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it, isn't it said that every year there are people who can't stand being at the bottom of the class and transfer out?"

  "Dad had already discussed with Mom and was here to persuade Gu Xiang, but when he heard his daughter's rare coquetry, he forgot all about his stance. 'It's also good at Municipal Middle School. Dad has acquaintances there who can take care of you...'"
