The flower on the high mountain is dew
The next morning, Gu Xiang had already prepared her summer homework early.
At 8:20, I headed towards the school gate.
She had thought she would be the first to arrive, but when she got there just after crossing the road, she saw a girl in a white dress standing at the school gate.
Suddenly merged with her memory of Tang Lu Lu.
Gu Xiang ran quickly to her side.
Tang Lulu's summer homework was still in a pink bag, which Gu Xiang rolled up and brought over. The difference between the two was obvious at a glance.
This girl exudes a refined air about her, and Gu Xiang thinks that her skirt and shoes look expensive.
Tang Lulu said: "My English is not as good as yours, there may be mistakes, there may be places that are different. Can you help me circle them with a pencil?"
Gu Xiang nodded: "Okay, then you also circle the mistakes in my math homework."
"After exchanging homework with each other, Gu Xiang asked her: 'Is your dad still coming to pick you up?'"
"My dad has gone to work, I'm going to cram school by myself."
Gu Xiang was puzzled. Her elementary school grades were always second only to Tang Lulu, who was like a mountain in front of her. "You're already doing so well, why do you still need to take extra classes?"
Tang Luolu explained: "I didn't do well in this exam. My mom was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up after entering junior high school, so she signed me up."
Gu Xiang nodded in understanding.
Two people didn't have much to say, Gu Xiang asked Tang Lulu where she was taking supplementary classes.
Tang Lu initially thought she was going to ask around and go, so she told her the specific address. Moreover, she also reminded her that this is a teacher in the city who retired and set up at home, with not many people, currently only ten. However, she asked Gu Xiang not to tell others, as too many people would affect the effectiveness.
Gu Xiang accompanied her for a while and listened to her talk about some things related to her cram school.
Until they reached the entrance of Tang Lulu's family compound, he said: "I'll send you off here then. Be careful on your way."
Tang Lulu finally realized that Gu Xiang was sending her away.
Gu Xiang didn't say much either and left with a wave of her hand.
Although it was broad daylight, Gu Xiang knew that the school was not safe. In the past two years, road construction had brought many migrant workers to the area.
She heard about migrant workers molesting girls at her alma mater when she was in junior high school.
Looking at Tang Lulu wearing this high-heeled flower-like dress, Gu Xiang was naturally worried.
Okay, she completely forgot that she and Tangerine were also 13 years old.
But anyway, now she's grown so sturdy, it's still quite safe.
She was gone for quite a while and didn't return to the store until almost ten o'clock.
The sun is scorching, and I'm all sweaty as soon as I walk back.
Gu's mom asked her why she had been gone for so long.
Gu Xiang gulped down a cup of cold tea and said: "I chatted with Tang Lulu for a while, she still has to go to supplementary classes."
Gu's mother said: "I heard Teacher Zheng say that Tang Lulu didn't do well this time and ranked tenth in the grade."
Gu Xiang didn't take these rankings too seriously, but looking at Tang Lulu's expression, it was possible that her family was really anxious.
"Yaya, do you want to go for tutoring too? Mom will ask around for you?"
Gu Xiang hastily put down the teapot: "No need, I can understand the books for the first day of school myself, why waste this money."
Her mother thought she was reluctant to spend money: "We still have some money at home, you see Tang Lulu has gone for tutoring. Maybe many of your classmates have gone, aren't you falling behind if you don't go?"
Gu Xiang really didn't want to go: "I can really understand it. Besides, it's already mid-August now, and I haven't finished my summer homework yet. There's simply no time for tutoring, okay?"
Mother Gu then dispelled this idea.
After lunch, Gu Xiang took Tang Lulu's homework "to review".
Okay, actually it's just copying everything I don't know.
Her mother was just beside her watching her copy and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Gu Xiang didn't do much, just some grammar multiple-choice questions, and it took less than an hour to copy.
Then she made herself and Tang Lulu compare, and gave all the different ones to Tang Lulu.
The next day, Tang Lulu called over and said everything was fine on her end.
Gu Xiang was amazed at her speed. Math answers are much more massive than English answers.
Two people agreed on a time and then exchanged their homework.
This time they made an appointment for late afternoon, because Tang Lulu's father had to work overtime and would come to pick her up later. They took advantage of this gap to exchange their homework.
Gu Xiang was still a bit worried, so she went to Tang Lulu's tutoring family courtyard to wait for her.
Tang Lulu had just come out with her backpack when she saw Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang waved goodbye to her.
Tang Luoluo ran over and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't make it clear yesterday. I wanted to meet you at the school gate."
Gu Xiang said: "It's okay, I'm not far from here. If we agreed to meet at the school gate, you'd still have to walk over."
Tang Luolu felt a bit embarrassed, after they swapped their homework, she said "Let me treat you to pearl milk tea, Gu Xiang".
Actually, Gu Xiang didn't like drinking milk tea. One reason was that later on, milk tea became ubiquitous and was everywhere. Another reason was that there was a period of time when she had no money to eat, so she relied on drinking milk tea to get by.
But Tang Lulu said so, and she couldn't refuse either.
Two people went into a milk tea shop nearby.
Two people holding milk tea and blowing cold air, but there's nothing much to talk about.
Tang Lu took out her notes from her backpack and showed them to Gu Xiang, telling her which ones were the teacher's key points, and offered to lend them to Gu Xiang for photocopying.
Gu Xiang hastily waved his hand and said: "I came over not for this."
"I know you're not, but I don't have anything good to give you either."
Two people finished drinking milk tea in the milk tea shop and lingered for a while. It was almost seven o'clock, and the sky had begun to darken. Tang's father still hadn't appeared.
Gu Xiang said: "Otherwise you go to my house first and then give your family a call to ask."
Tang Lulu was also hesitant, it was already dark and she was also quite scared.
"Let's go, my home is nearby."
Nor did she have the chance to refuse.
The two of them walked back for over ten minutes again.
"Mom Gu was getting anxious waiting in the store, and when she saw Gu Xiang return, she scolded from over there: 'What time is it now that you're just coming back? You're going to worry me to death...'"
Then she saw Tang Lulu being blocked by Gu Xiang's sturdy figure.
Tang Lulu said: "Auntie, I'm sorry. Gu Xiang accompanied me and that's why we came back late. My dad might have something on and didn't come to pick me up."
Mom Gu immediately switched from the shrew mode to a gentle mode, saying: "Oh, okay. You go call home first, we're having dinner at Auntie's house today."
Tang Lu immediately called home, but surprisingly no one answered.
Then Tang Lulu went to her grandmother's house, where her mother was.
As soon as Tang's mother received the phone call from Tang Lulu, she exclaimed: "Oh no! Lulu, Mom forgot to pick you up!" Then she explained that Tang's father had a sudden business trip today and she had forgotten to pick up her daughter, so she went back to her parents' home.
Tang's mom had a loud voice, and both Gu Xiang and his mom could hear her clearly.
Gu's mother told Tang Lulu to eat on this side and asked her mother not to worry.
After Tang Lulu hung up the phone.
"Your mom is really something! You can even forget this!" was immediately retorted by Gu Xiang, who was then fiercely glared at by Mrs. Gu.
Tang Lulu didn't get angry, instead she also smiled and said: "My mom often does this, both I and my dad are used to it."
No special dishes were prepared at home in the evening, so I had the leftover braised chicken wings, snow cabbage stir-fried with shredded pork, and stir-fried eggplant from lunch. There was also a green vegetable egg soup.
The two of them had enough to eat, but when guests came, it didn't make sense to just eat leftover food.
Gu's mother gave Gu Xiang twenty yuan and told her to go buy some cooked dishes.
Tang Lulu immediately refused, but Gu Xiang took the money and dragged her out.
These two days of getting along, Gu Xiang truly felt that this girl was quite good. Completely different from the impression she had of her.
In the previous life, it was probably due to various factors such as not being as good as others in terms of grades, family background, and appearance that the subconscious processed memories.
Actually, after recalling, the two people have never had any grudges in their past two lives.
Gu Xiang gave herself a supplementary role as a vicious female villain who was jealous of the white flower heroine.
Tang Lu looked at Gu Xiang taking the money and entering the vegetable market with ease, then went to the stall selling cooked dishes.
She has never been to such a place and finds it very novel.
Gu Xiang asked her if there was anything she wanted to eat.
Tang Lulu frankly said: "No need to go to so much trouble, I can eat anything."
"Then I'll buy what I love to eat, don't regret it later."
Tang Lulu was beside her, covering her mouth and giggling secretly.
Gu Xiang then bought a fried glutinous rice chicken and headed back.
Gu's mother had already heated up the dishes, and they started dinner after buying vegetables.
As soon as Gu Xiang opened the fast food box, her mother laughed and scolded her, saying: "Gu Xiang, how can you be so greedy? You were supposed to treat your classmate, but instead you bought something you love to eat."
Tang Lulu immediately said: "No, Auntie, this is something I also like to eat."
Actually, Táng Lùlù wasn't wrong, she found that the chicken really tasted good.
But her father said that things outside are not clean and almost didn't let her eat outside.
Gu Xiang's family doesn't have so many taboos.
Tang Lulu eats very elegantly. When Gu Xiang finishes a bowl of rice, Tang Lulu's dishes have only gone down by half a bowl.
Gu Xiang took a glance inside and knew her mother had deliberately pressed down on the rice again.
Their family is like this, wanting the children to eat more, so they press down on the rice below, making it too dense, and pile up a small mound of soft food on top.
It doesn't look like much on the surface, but one bowl is equivalent to two bowls normally.
Tang Luo Luo almost cried from eating too much, why is this meal getting bigger and bigger! QAQ
"Rourou, eat more vegetables," said Gu's mother. Then she handed Tang Rourou a chicken leg, "Auntie's hands are clean and didn't touch the meat."
Tang Lulu said thank you, picked up chopsticks and carefully plucked a piece of chicken from the leg, eating it in small bites.
Gu Xiang had already finished gnawing on the chicken leg in her hand.
"Look at how others eat and then look at yourself."
Gu Xiang handed over the rice bowl and said: "Give me another bowl of rice."
"Are you armless or legless?"
Gu Xiang pouted and said: "I won't, I just want you to win."
Gu's mother looked disgusted but still went in to serve her rice.
"Mom packed two bowls of rice for you inside, don't eat them all honestly! Leave some if you can't finish!"
Tang Lulu was actually full a long time ago. At home, her father didn't let her eat too much. He said that after eating one's fill, the blood would concentrate in the intestines and stomach, and the brain wouldn't get enough blood supply, so thinking wouldn't be as lively during studying. But she felt embarrassed to leave food in her bowl, so she ended up stuffing herself.
She had just finished eating more than half of her rice.
Not long after dinner, Tang's mom came to pick up Tang Lulu.
It's clear that this is a person who has been raised in luxury and has a completely different living environment from his mother. His hair was neatly curled and he had makeup on.
But Tangerine Mom looked quite kind and said many thankful words to Customer Mom.
Tang's mom also knew Gu Xiang and said welcome Gu Xiang to their home to play, letting her exchange learning methods with Tang Lulu more.
After seeing them off, Gu Xiang suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
When she was compared with Tang Lulu by Gu's mother, she didn't think there was anything to it. After all, the two people had very different living backgrounds, so their personalities and habits were not comparable either.
But when she saw Tang's mother, Gu Xiang suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She also hopes her mother can be like Tang Lulu's mother, who just stays at home every day to do hair and go back to her maiden home, without even having to worry about her daughter.
But now she is also powerless to change anything.
Knowledge changes fate, she can only work hard to study and not let her mother worry.
Gu Xiang sat in front of the desk and opened the math homework that Tang Lulu had given her today.
"Gu's mother looked at her guardedly: 'What are you doing?'"
"Nothing, just doing homework."
Auntie quickly snatched up the math homework and said: "I'm closing up shop, let's go home and watch TV."
Gu Xiang: =A= Are you still allowing people to study or not?!
