July 7th

  Liang Shi didn't return to class until just before the final exam, but by then the teacher had already taken the classmates through a round of review, and she was clearly a bit left behind.

  After having a lesson from others, classmates also dare not make fun of their own bodies again.

  However, many sleep-deprived students really can't hold on themselves, and they are already in a stage of rapid growth and lack of sleep. It's okay to say that one or two days of insufficient sleep is fine, but as time goes on, it's like sleeping with eyes open. Like during class breaks, many students fall asleep as soon as they put their heads down.

  Li Wei and Lin Jiahuan started drinking Sanle milk after listening to Tang Lulu's suggestion.

  However, this stuff is drunk and it's different from person to person. Like Tang Lulu and Li Wei, after drinking, they are more energetic than usual, and their efficiency in doing questions is also higher.

  And someone like Lin Jiahuan actually slept better than usual after drinking it.

  Before the noon break, Teacher Jiang would distribute a small test paper for everyone to do, with only three or four big questions, which usually took about 20 minutes to complete. Everyone would finish this test paper before taking a nap.

  Lin Jiahuan has been drinking Sanle paste since then, and as soon as she finishes one question on the test paper, she feels extremely sleepy and can even fall asleep while holding her pen.

  After finishing a box, she didn't dare follow the trend anymore.

  Before the final exam arrived, everyone didn't have much feeling, and the papers were done in large quantities every day, and whoever did it would be numb.

  But everyone is still looking forward to the winter vacation, which only lasts for two weeks this semester. The third-year junior high school students have to return to school in advance.

  Although the winter break is short, everyone has been tense for a semester, and just thinking about being able to sleep in makes them extremely excited.

  On the day of the final exam, Teacher Jiang repeatedly emphasized that everyone must bring back their books and textbooks, because at the beginning of the year, they will move to a new campus, and everything left here will be cleared away.

  However, classmates still need to come and get their report cards in three days, so things can be taken in two batches.

  The most talked-about thing in a junior high school student's desk is, of course, all kinds of test papers.

  Gu Xiang looked at a stack of test papers and was also worried, unable to figure out what was still useful and what was not.

  Finally, let's just take everything. I took a few bags that were given to me when I bought clothes and packed all the books and scrolls into them.

  After packing everything up, Gu Xiang's car basket was full, and two bags were hung on the two dragon heads.

  She obviously overestimated her cycling skills and was swaying back and forth when she got on the bike, basically unable to ride steadily. Later on, she simply pushed the bike back home.

  "Mom Gu looked at her carrying so many things and said anxiously, 'How can you dare to ride a bike with so many things? If I really can't carry them, I'll go help you carry them! What if something happens on the way?'"

  "I didn't dare ride it, so I pushed it back."

  Gu's mother helped her move things into the house, "Do you need all of these? Can't you throw some away?"

  Xu Xiang said: "The papers from the review session are definitely needed, they still need to be brought to school next year, I don't know about the others, but since everyone else didn't throw them away, I also brought them back."

  However, with this episode, Gu Xiang's enthusiasm for the winter break also dissipated a lot. It was only two weeks, and he couldn't relax too much. After all, school would start again in mid-February, and before he knew it, he would be plunged into the final sprint of his third year of high school.

  Xiao Hei Pong's winter vacation started earlier than Gu Xiang, and he packed his bags early to return to the countryside. After all, there are still many things to do at home during Chinese New Year, and in their household of men, there is much to take care of.

  Gu Xiang and his mother went back to their maternal grandmother's house, so they didn't need to prepare anything at home, at most just cleaning and pasting spring couplets.

  Gu's mother originally wanted her daughter to take a good rest during the holidays, but Gu Xiang got up at 7:30 every day, did a set of mock questions, went downstairs for a half-hour walk, and did another set of questions before dinner. After dinner, she took an hour-long nap and then got up again to read books and do questions.

  Other parents are worried that their children will relax during the holidays and forget about their studies.

  Gu Xiang took the initiative to make her own schedule without needing her mother to remind her. Moreover, since she had just finished her school break, her biological clock was still in "school mode", so she didn't feel particularly tired.

  Gu's mother was also heartbroken for her, and every day she would cook delicious food in different ways to help Gu Xiang regain her strength. However, before the Chinese New Year, when Gu Xiang went shopping with her mother at a mall, she casually weighed herself and found that she now only had 100 catties (a unit of weight), which was still much thinner than before.

  Gu's mother used to see her daughter every day, and the two were together from morning till night. She didn't notice that Gu Xiang had lost weight until now, when she suddenly realized it, which made her anxious. There are still half a semester left before the winter break, if her daughter loses more weight, who knows if her body can take it.

  Then she started to add meals for Gu Xiang, every day in addition to the three meals also had to eat snacks and midnight snacks. After eating well, Gu Xiang was still not happy, plus during the Chinese New Year period, Gu Xiang and his mother stayed at his grandmother's house for nearly a week. Before school started, Gu Xiang clearly felt that he had become rounder than when he just finished winter break, and even had double chin when bowing his head.

  However, Grandma still stroked her face with a heartache. When Gu Xiang was in the countryside, she didn't lose the schedule she made for herself. In private, Grandma also told Gu's mother: "Our girl is really hardworking, and this New Year's holiday wasn't spent comfortably."

  Gu's mother also sighed, "It's true, kids these days have a lot of pressure. I heard that before the semester finals, there's even a hospital visit."

  "Grandma was also frightened by this and said, 'You must be more careful from now on, a child's body is the most important thing.'"

  "Mom Gu responded with a 'hmm', 'I've got it all figured out in my heart. YaYa's also got it all figured out, she even knows to keep an eye on me and go get checked at the hospital...she's grown up...' "

  Gu Xiang didn't know about her grandmother's and mother's worries, for her, this year was no different from previous years except that she couldn't be so lazy.

  During the New Year's Eve dinner, both Auntie Da and Auntie Xiao asked about Gu Xiang's studies. Before Gu Xiang could even open her mouth, her mother said: "As long as she does her best, I don't have high expectations for her to get good grades, just a normal performance is fine."

  Gu Xiang shut her mouth, and her final exam results were still the first in the grade, but she was only 2 points higher than Tang Lulu's total score. Her mother may have really thought it was enough, but her competitive spirit was once again ignited.
