little stutter

Soon, Cheng Xin sent the request for the calligraphy competition.There are countless calligraphy competitions all over the country every year, but there are very few calligraphy competitions with bonuses, usually only certificates and certificates, but the bonuses of this competition are very generous, the highest prize is as much as 2000, even if it is an excellent prize, There is also a prize of [-] yuan, which also means that many people will participate.Chen Xin happened to be free and had nothing to do except study, so she decided to give it a try.

The next day, Chen Xin asked Cai Bokai to take him to buy a pen, ink and paper, and began to practice calligraphy at home.Cai Bokai found out that this stepbrother is really a genius. It doesn't matter if he has good academic performance, he can also play basketball well, and he is even good at calligraphy. It seems that there is nothing he can't do well.Originally, he didn't take it seriously when his father praised Chen Xin, thinking that he was just an out-and-out nerd, but now he was completely conquered by Chen Xin's strength, and he was so impressed.

"Brother Xin, don't take someone like you, you really don't leave a way for others to survive." Cai Bokai looked at the words written by Chen Xin and said jokingly.

It was the first time Chen Xin heard him call her elder brother. She thought she was hallucinating. He shook his hand and ruined all his handwriting. He immediately retracted his pen in embarrassment: "Why, why did you say that?"

Cai Bokai counted his strengths with his fingers.It was the first time for Chen Xin to be praised in person. Even Cheng Xin never praised him that much. He blushed and stammered, "No, it's not that exaggerated."

Cai Bokai laughed: "The only shortcoming is that you can't open your mouth. Once you open your mouth, you will lose all your arrogance."

Chen Xin also couldn't help laughing, isn't it? There is no perfect person. Thinking about my stuttering, I feel calm for the first time. Maybe this is God's arrangement, there can be no perfect person.

When Cai Shenglong came back, he looked at the waste manuscripts written by Chen Xin, and was so surprised that he wanted to frame them and give them away.Chen Xin had the nerve to give away the waste manuscripts, so she agreed to write some good ones for him.Chen Xin is a person who walks the talk, agreed to write for Cai Shenglong, and actually wrote several pictures.Cai Shenglong took it to frame, hung one at home, one in the store, and put away the others for gifts to friends.

Cai Shenglong also went to help Chen Xin engrave two seals, and stamped the red seal on the place where the signature was signed, and it was really a calligraphy work.Chen Xin also liked this gift very much.

After going to the beach and coming back, Chen Xin proposed to go back to his hometown, saying that they were worried because grandparents were at home.The mother, Cai Shenglong and his son tried their best to keep them but failed, so they had to be sent back to the high-speed train.

Although the home is not as clean and convenient as in the city, it is still my own home, and I feel comfortable no matter what.Grandparents are very happy to see them come back, at least the grandson is not too happy to leave, he does not forget his roots, he still misses his family, especially grandpa, who treats the brothers so well that he is a bit flattering. good.After Chen Xin came back, he was still busy practicing calligraphy, and there were still some days before the deadline for soliciting papers, so he could face it in the best condition.

Two days after returning home, Chen Xin noticed that Jiang Sijie's circle of friends had updated a new message, which meant that all the dust had settled, and finally got his wish, and he expressed his heart.The following comments were all for congratulations, and he realized that Jiang Sijie's admission had been completed, so he quickly knocked over to congratulate: "Congratulations, is the admission result out?"

Jiang Sijie quickly replied: "Yes, the Finance Department of University A." University A is in Shanghai, not close to their home.

Chen Xin: "That's great. Where's Luo Yang?"

Jiang Sijie: "He's also in Shanghai, B University. But his major is not very good, his score is not much higher, just to be on the safe side, he filled in the relatively unpopular biological engineering, so he can only study first, and then transfer to another department."

Chen Xin just made the decision to study biology, but someone told him that biology is an unpopular major, especially B University is also a very good university, bioengineering should not be too bad, Chen Xin felt a little blocked: "bioengineering is not Okay? Is it not easy to get a job?"

Jiang Sijie replied: "We have learned from many people that this major is quite boring. It seems to be very high-level, and you should study for an undergraduate degree. You can't do scientific research, and you can't find a corresponding job. You can only change your career. Go on and read it again. It’s particularly boring. It’s said that doing scientific research is all physical labor, and the brain is often exhausted, so I can only do experiments repeatedly, and I feel tired after thinking about it. He’s been depressed these two days.”

After listening to him, Chen Xin didn't reply for a long time. Is that really the case with biology?Or is it too simple?

Jiang Sijie said to him: "You must never choose a biology major, because it will be too troublesome to change majors when you can."

Chen Xin couldn't help but wryly smiled, and sat in a daze for a while.Cheng Xin called. When he was in Guangzhou, Cheng Xin didn’t call him because it was inconvenient for Chen Xin to answer the phone there. Now that he’s back, he can avoid all the crowds and talk sweetly. Said, anyway, speaking will not leave any traces, and you will not be afraid of being caught.

Chen Xin had just chatted with Jiang Sijie, but he was not very interested, and his reaction to Cheng Xin's love words was a bit cold, Cheng Xin was dissatisfied: "Are you unhappy that I called?"

Chen Xin patted his forehead, and when he came back to his senses, he lied: "No, no. Last night, there were too many mosquitoes, so I didn't sleep well."

Only then was Cheng Xin satisfied: "If there are mosquitoes, hurry up and buy electric mosquito coils, and there will be no more mosquitoes."

Chen Xin didn't want to continue this topic, so she hummed and asked, "What major do you want to study? What will you do in the future?"

Cheng Xin laughed: "Are you going to plan your life with me? I haven't decided on a major yet. I'm different from you. I don't have any special hobbies. I will mostly do business in the future. It doesn't matter what major I study, as long as I have a university for me." Just study, of course, the major is best not to be too difficult, I don’t want to waste my brain, I want to graduate with ease.”

When Chen Xin heard what he said, she couldn't help laughing. Cheng Xin was very frank and very realistic, but he was just the opposite. He wanted to find a major that required brains to study, because that was interesting, and he liked to think.But the biology major is really what Jiang Sijie said, is the brain not working hard?Chen Xin was a little confused.So after laughing, I fell silent again.

Cheng Xin was aware of his emotions: "What troubles have you encountered again?"

Chen Xin said: "Jiang Sijie has already been admitted to University A. He and his boyfriend are in the Department of Biology at University B. He advised me not to study biology, saying it was boring."

Cheng Xin understood, and was troubled by this matter: "That's just their opinion. They think it's boring, but it doesn't mean it's really boring. If you like it, then stick to your own ideas. No matter what major you choose, I support you unconditionally."

Hearing Cheng Xin's words, Chen Xin felt a lot more relaxed. He was confused, but he was not lost. At least he knew that no matter when, there was someone behind him to support him, and he would not leave him alone. Man, thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly felt full of strength again: "Okay. No, don't worry about it. Anyway, there is still a year before the college entrance examination. You can slowly consider the major and professional matters."

"Right, don't think too much now." Cheng Xin laughed and changed the subject, "I went to pick Xi Qi up from class yesterday, and many girls in her class saw me, and now they are rushing to be my girlfriend .You now know that your boyfriend and I are popular, so you have to be nervous about me." Chen Xin is introverted and emotionally restrained. She rarely expresses her feelings actively, and occasionally makes Cheng Xin a little uneasy, so he also uses this This is a way to find a sense of presence in Chen Xin.

Chen Xin heard it and accused him: "You, you are abducting a minor."

Cheng Xin laughed: "This charge is indeed valid, because I have done this thing a long time ago. For example, the person who talked to me is still underage."

Chen Xin's face turned red immediately: "Know, just know!"

"Underage, I miss you. Let me see, you still have 45 kisses to pay me back, I want to collect the debt, what should I do?" Cheng Xin's voice sounded like a whisper in Chen Xin's ear.

Chen Xin's face turned even redder. This was a naked temptation: "Don't, don't think about it."

Cheng Xin said dissatisfiedly: "God, you don't know how hard it is to not see you. If I don't think about it, wouldn't it be the same as hell? Fortunately, I can still think about it. How about I buy you a plane ticket, you Fly to Shanghai to see me?"

Chen Xin couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. In fact, he wanted to say it was difficult and came back, but he couldn't say it. Just now Cheng Xin said that no matter what major he chooses, he will unconditionally support him. However, he has never fully supported Cheng Xin playing basketball. In comparison, I looked too bad. Thinking of this, I decided not to mention the thing of not wanting him to play basketball, not even thinking about it, and said: "It's almost too soon, and I will see you in a month. We're here." It's too extravagant for Cheng Xin to buy an air ticket, and it's a bit unrealistic to go to Shanghai to see him by himself, the travel expenses will cost several hundred, Chen Xin is a bit reluctant.

In August, the school opened a summer cram school for the third year of senior high school, and she went to tutoring classes according to her own needs. Chen Xin thought that she didn't need to spend that money, so she didn't sign up.I read books at home every day, learn to do housework, and help my younger brother with homework. I have plenty of time.He bought a computer programming textbook for self-study, and began to learn to compile some simple programs.When he was in Guangzhou, he saw some small programs compiled by Cai Bokai, and found them very interesting. He felt the difference in urban and rural education, not because their IQ was lower than others, but because they had less resources, so they lost at the starting line early, so He wants to eliminate this gap through his own efforts.

That day, Chen Xin was wiping sweat and fumbling for codes in front of the computer, when he received a call from Cao Jiyou: "Chen Xin, are you busy now?"

Chen Xin looked at the code on the computer: "Well, what's the matter?"

Cao Ji said again: "Isn't the school's cram school starting tomorrow? My mother asked my brother to go to cram school. He didn't want to go alone, so he asked me to go with him. I don't want to go. It's so hot. I think you're okay. If so, come to my house and give us two extra lessons, the same as last year at Brother Xin's house, we will pay for tuition fees."

Chen Xin was a little surprised when she heard this: "Let, let me be a tutor?"

Cao Ji said again: "That's right. My parents also know about you. Brother Xin's achievements are obvious to all. My mother trusts you very much, so she also wants to invite you to teach my brother."

Chen Xin felt that they had some misunderstanding about this matter. He taught Xin that it was because Cheng Xin was willing to learn, so he could improve, not because of how good he was.This guy Cao Ji is too lazy, he doesn't want to learn, it's useless for the emperor to teach him: "I, I'm afraid I can't do it." Poor home education is the responsibility of the tutor, and poor school teaching is mostly the responsibility of the students.

Cao Ji hurriedly begged again: "Don't, Chen Xin, you can definitely do it. I know what you are worried about. I am afraid that Cao Ji won't study hard. This time he asked you to help us with tutoring. If you still can't make progress , that is his own responsibility. Brother Xin has improved, and so have I. It is impossible for my mother not to know what is going on."

Chen Xin was still hesitating, and suddenly thought that if he could earn some tuition fees, wouldn't he have the money to see Cheng Xin?Thinking of this, he became a little moved again: "Shall I think about it again?"

When Cao Ji heard that there was something interesting again, he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, okay, I will call you again tonight, please promise me."

In the evening, Chen Xin agreed to come down. He thought it over, even if Cao Jiyou's family gave him less tuition, he should be able to go to Shanghai to see Cheng Xin.Moreover, Cheng Xin's birthday is coming up in a few days, so he has to prepare a birthday present.So the next day, Chen Xin went to the city with simple luggage on her back.

Cao Jiyou’s family is a typical middle-class family. Although it cannot be compared with Cheng Xin’s family, it is also a duplex building. The house is very spacious. Both parents work in state-owned enterprises and are both managers, so they are not short of money. They can afford to send their two sons to private schools. School.

When Chen Xin arrived at Cao’s house, Cao’s mother asked for leave to stay at home. There was no nanny at home, and the two brothers usually settled for lunch by themselves, usually ordering takeaway. Today is Chen Xin’s first visit, and Cao’s mother will of course cook for Chen Xin. A lunch can be regarded as a formal meeting with the son's "teacher".The twins look a bit like their mothers, especially in body shape. They are both slightly fat. Mother Cao has a kind face and is very enthusiastic about Chen Xin, because in the eyes of mothers, Chen Xin is a typical image of a good student and good son. likable.

After having a hearty lunch, Chen Xin started to make a review plan for the twins, because the foundation of the two is different, so the content of the review is naturally different.Cao Ji was very cooperative again, saying that he didn't need any review plan, he sorted it out by himself, and asked Chen Xin if he didn't understand.The focus of Cao Ji's review is physics. After making up math last year, his math grades have never dropped. It is also because of this that Cao's parents agreed to let Chen Xin come over to make up lessons.Cao Ji is a liberal arts student. There is nothing to study in political history. He needs to make up some calculations in geography. The main content of tutoring is mathematics and English.Therefore, although there are two people, the workload is no greater than the workload of making up lessons for Cheng Xin alone during the summer vacation last year.

After making the plan, I started to review Cao Ji.Cao Ji is not really stupid, he is just lazy, and quite unconsciously, trying to find ways to be lazy, which requires vigorous whipping and whipping.After teaching for an afternoon, Chen Xin had a deep understanding. If it wasn't for Cao Ji helping him again, he wouldn't dare to teach a student like Cao Ji. .

Cheng Xin learned that Chen Xin was going to tutor the twins, so he called Cao Ji and told him to cooperate honestly with Chen Xin.Cao Ji may not necessarily listen to other people's words, but Cheng Xin's words are still useful.

In the evening, Cao Ji's parents came back again, and Chen Xin formally met with Cao's father. He had met Cao's father occasionally at school before, but he had never spoken formally.Cao's father is a very straightforward person. After reading the tutoring plan, he immediately asked about the tutoring fee, because Chen Xin was invited to teach at his home, and he lived and ate at his own home. Son, six thousand a month.The fee exceeded Chen Xin's expectations. He wanted to refuse, but was finally persuaded by Cao's father, because the tuition fee for the two sons would not be less than this fee, and it was one-on-one teaching.

Chen Xin stayed at Cao Ji's house. She gave lectures to the twin brothers during the day, practiced for two hours at night, and had one day off every week.The only thing that is inconvenient is the problem of eating at noon. The twins don’t know how to cook. At noon, it’s either KFC or pizza, or takeaway. After eating takeaway for a few days, Chen Xin felt a little angry: “Why not, why don’t you make it yourself? Well, there are vegetables in the refrigerator."

Cao Ji shrugged: "I won't do it."

Cao Ji added: "I can only order instant noodles and cook dumplings."

Chen Xin said, "I'll do it."

Cao Ji's eyes lit up: "Do you know how to cook?"

Chen Xinxin said that this is a basic survival skill. His younger brother Chen Xi can do it. The two brothers are really well taken care of by their parents: "Simple." He doesn't do things that are too complicated, it takes time.

Cao Ji said again: "I don't want to order takeaway either, Chen Xin, you cook for us, the two of us are in charge of washing the dishes."

So at noon that day, they stopped ordering takeaways. Chen Xin made simple two dishes and one soup, fried pork with sharp peppers, hot and sour potato shreds, and tomato egg soup.Although simple, the three of them ate all the meals.After eating this meal, Cao Ji seemed to be more cooperative. Whether it was doing problems or washing dishes, the way to subdue foodies is to use food.

When Mother Cao heard that Chen Xin was cooking for her sons at noon, she was very grateful. She bought more vegetables every day, such as chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, beef, etc., anyway. Harsh.Chen Xin even doesn't know how to cook some dishes, so she had to look up the recipes online, cook while learning, and only cook one complicated order every day to save time.

When Cheng Xin learned that Chen Xin was cooking for the two brothers at Cao's house, he almost turned his nose in anger. Before he could enjoy Chen Xin's cooking, the two brothers gave him the upper hand.

This day, Cheng Xin called and acted coquettishly with Chen Xin, wanting him to give up cooking. After hearing so many reasons from him, Chen Xin finally realized that he was just jealous, so she changed the subject and said, "I I bought a high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow, and I will go to Shanghai to see you."

"What?" Cheng Xin almost jumped up.
