Zai Zai Grocery Store

Lin Dong shouted at Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun, "Let's go."

He Xiaochuan said, "Lin Dong, I'll also go to your house for chicken soup."

Lin Dong said, "Okay, you come."

Qiqi then said, "I'll go too."

Lin Dong said happily, "Come."

He Xiaochuan Qiqi quickly got up and ran towards Lin Dong.

Mu Xinghe also got up.

Jiang Xiaojun finally got up, stood in the snow, looked at Lin Dong who was walking with Mu Xinghe, He Xiaochuan, and Qiqi, the heartbeat just now had disappeared, he stared blankly at Lin Dong, Lin Dong suddenly turned around: " Xiaojun, don't you want to drink chicken soup?"

Jiang Xiaojun froze for a moment.

Lin Dong said, "Come on."

Jiang Xiaojun responded and ran forward.

The five people came to Lin Dong's house again, just as Pei Zhiwei cooked the chicken soup, filled a bowl of chicken soup for each of the five people, and then took the rest of the chicken soup, and walked towards the grocery store with Ruan Xinping, and then walked to the door, Pei Zhiwei When I remembered something, I turned around and said to Lin Dong: "Zhiran, Xiao Chuan, Xing He, there is a whole chicken in the pot, will you share it later?"

Lin Dong and the five responded together.

Pei Shiwei and Ruan Xinping left.

Lin Dong hurriedly went to the kitchen to fish out a chicken. Just as he put it on the dining table, He Xiaochuan Qiqi was about to pull the chicken's thigh. Just as he touched it, Mu Xinghe yelled. The two stopped their hands at the same time and looked at Mu Xinghe. Xinghe.

Mu Xinghe leaned over, broke off a chicken leg to Lin Dong, and said, "Dongdong, I'll eat it for you."

Lin Dong said, "You eat."

"This is your favorite food, eat it and be obedient."

Lin Dong reached out to take it.

He Xiaochuan looked at Mu Xinghe with disgust.

Mu Xinghe said to the two of them, "What are you looking at?"

Qiqi said: "You are always so kind to Lin Dong, but you are not good to us."

Mu Xinghe said: "That's because Lin Dong is also kind to me."

"Lin Dong is also kind to me."

"Lin Dong is the best to me."

"nonsense."

"If you don't believe me, ask Lin Dong."

Qiqi immediately turned to look at Lin Dong, took out the routine he used when he was six years old to deal with Lin Dong, and asked, "Lin Dong, are we good friends?"

Lin Dong said, "Yes."

Qiqi asked: "Then tell me, are you better with me, or with Xinghe?"

Lin Dong said, "It's just as good."

"You can only choose one."

"Xinghe." Lin Dong replied without hesitation.

Kiki was taken aback.

Mu Xinghe held back his laughter.

Qiqi glanced at Mu Xinghe who was gloating, then looked at Lin Dong again and said, "Lin Dong, Lin Dong, I'll give you ten seconds. Think about it, do you want to be with me, or be with Xinghe?"

Lin Dong didn't need to think at all, and answered directly: "Xinghe."

Kiki was tongue-tied.

With one hand sticking to his stomach, Mu Xinghe laughed loudly, and the other hand naturally put his hand on Lin Dong's shoulder, and put his arms around Lin Dong.

Unconvinced, Qiqi pointed to Jiang Xiaojun and asked, "What about me and my brother? Who is better than you?"

Lin Dong replied, "Your brother."

Jiang Xiaojun's heart tightened.

Qiqi asked again: "What about me and Xiao Chuan?"

"Xiao Chuan."

"Then, then, I'm the last one?"

"Yes."

Qiqi was angry, but he had no choice. When he was about to lower his head to eat another chicken leg, he found that the other chicken leg was gone. He looked around and fixed his eyes on He Xiaochuan. He Xiaochuan was eating the chicken leg.

Kiki: "..."

The last chicken leg is gone...

Mu Xinghe couldn't hold it anymore, his forehead rested on his shoulder, and his body trembled while laughing.

Lin Dong also kept laughing.

Jiang Xiaojun followed suit with a smile. When his eyes fell on Lin Dong, his smile narrowed, and he slowly turned his eyes to Mu Xinghe. Mu Xinghe laughed flamboyantly, and it took him a while to stop, breaking off a big chicken wing for him. He said: "Xiaojun, come, you eat."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "Eat it."

"Why are you being polite? You still robbed me when I was young, but now you're being hypocritical?"

Jiang Xiaojun reached out and took it.

Mu Xinghe gave Qiqi another chicken wing, he ate the chicken clavicle, and shared the remaining chicken rack with Lin Dong, but no one was full, so Lin Dong got up and ate half a bowl of chicken soup noodles Well, after the five of them finished eating, they sat together at the entrance of the living room to watch the snow. It stopped for a while, but now it started to fall again.

He Xiaochuan said with emotion: "It's snowing again."

Kiki said, "Ah, the new year is about to begin."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "School will start in a few days."

Lin Dong said, "Then Qiqi and Xiaochuan will have a quiz."

Qiqi immediately turned around and said, "Lin Dong, can we not bring up this topic? It's too heavy, and I don't even want to talk."

Lin Dong said, "Okay, what do you want to say?"

Qiqi said: "Let's talk about how to spend the summer vacation? Xiao Chuan and I have no summer homework this summer, so we can play every day."

Lin Dong: "..."

Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe, Jiang Xiaojun, and He Xiaochuan didn't answer Qiqi's topic. The five of them sat at the door and watched Xue for a while. Lin Dong very strictly asked Qiqi and He Xiaochuan to continue studying. Lax with Qiqi and He Xiaochuan.

After school started, Lin Dong watched Qiqi and He Xiaochuan study closely while taking care of his studies, because Qiqi and He Xiaochuan had poor self-control and were easily distracted.

Fortunately, Lin Dong has tenacity in doing things, and he has not relaxed since the beginning, and has been assisting Qiqi and He Xiaochuan to study until the day of the quiz.

The weather on the day of the quiz was already hot, Lin Lihua Qiqi's mother and Qiqi's father nervously sent He Xiaochuan and Qiqi to the exam. In the past six months, the three parents took turns beating their children. When the exam came, they comforted the children one by one. Easy, easy exam, don't have so much pressure, after sending He Xiaochuan and Qiqi into the examination room, the three of them came back together, Qiqi's father made up his mind, if Qiqi really can't get into Jinli Middle School, then he will spend a lot of time. Send them some money.

Lin Lihua said: "Not necessarily. Dongdong has been tutoring them for so long, so they should be able to pass the exam."

Qiqi's father said: "I'm afraid that my kid's brain is not working."

Qiqi's mother immediately said unhappily: "What are you talking about, who's brain is not good, and who is not good enough to follow?"

Papa Qiqi immediately fell silent.

Lin Lihua is used to the way Qiqi's parents get along with each other, so she walked towards Zaizai's grocery store with a smile, and saw Lin Dong sorting out groceries for him as soon as she entered the grocery store.

Lin Dong is already 12 years old. Under the careful care of Ruan Xinping and Pei Shiwei, his stature has finally caught up with his peers. He is thin and tall. He obviously hangs out with those muddy legs like Xiao Chuan Qiqi every day, but Lin Dong is able to get out. Clean, gentle and extraordinary.

When Lin Lihua was packing the books for He Qingzhang yesterday, she accidentally saw a sentence "Autumn water is the god and jade is the bone". At that time, she asked He Qingzhang what this sentence meant. Today, I feel that these words seem to be specially made for Lin Dong. It's very suitable for Lin Dong. This child is not like some children in Jinli Town. When he was young, he was good-looking, but when he grew up, he lost track of long-distance running. Lin Dong is getting more and more beautiful.

Lin Lihua couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Lin Dong just turned his head and called, "Auntie."

Lin Lihua regained consciousness.

Lin Dong asked, "Auntie, what are you looking at?"

Lin Lihua said with a smile: "Look at my family Dongdong growing up, look at my family Dongdong looks so good-looking, my aunt has never seen such a good-looking young man."

Lin Dong smiled shyly, and said, "Auntie, you will praise me."

Lin Lihua said, "My aunt is telling the truth."

Lin Dong knew that no matter what he looked like, he was very, very handsome in his aunt's heart. This made him the happiest. The smile on his mouth became wider, and he said, "By the way, aunt, old Liu from the city just now The salt delivery is here, I signed for it and paid for it, go and check the list.”

"Okay, don't you have class this afternoon?" Lin Lihua walked towards the counter.

Lin Dong swept the ground with a broom and said, "No, after Qiqi and Xiaochuan finish the exam, we will almost have the final exam."

"You guys have the final exam so soon?" Lin Lihua asked in surprise, "Did you go to the imperial capital after the final exam?"

"I won't be going to the imperial capital this summer vacation."

"Why?" Lin Lihua looked at Lin Dong and asked, "Are your grandpas coming over?"

"No, we need to make up lessons." Lin Dong looked at Lin Lihua, the voice of the milk baby had disappeared, and he gradually felt as steady as a spring, and said, "Because the high school entrance examination will be at this time next year, and the teachers hope that we can do well in the examination. , so this year's summer vacation has to start more than half a month earlier. My parents said that time is too tight, so I won't go back this year. The high school entrance examination will end tomorrow, and the holiday will be long. I will sign up for a group with my grandparents and travel abroad together. .”

Lin Lihua said, "So that's how it is."

Lin Dong stopped what he was doing, turned around and asked, "Auntie, will you travel abroad with us next year?"

Lin Lihua smiled: "Oh, I still go abroad. I haven't even been out of the province a few times. If you don't want to go, you can go."

Lin Dong said: "It's okay, our family will make a group, and you and uncle Xiaochuan will come with us when the time comes."

"How can there be time? Someone needs to be in the store. Grandma Xiaochuan is not in good health, so she can't leave. Besides, traveling costs a lot of money, so I won't go."

"I have money."

"That's your parents' money."

You are right, Lin Dong is a little rich man compared to He Xiaochuan and the others, but every penny of his money is given by his parents and cannot be regarded as his money. When Lin Lihua said this, he scratched his head in embarrassment, Said: "Auntie, when I graduate from college to make money, I will use my own money to take you and uncle to travel."

Lin Lihua smiled: "Okay, Auntie is waiting for you."

Lin Dong nodded.

Lin Lihua looked at the purchase list, then walked over, took the broom in Lin Dong's hand and said, "Go and rest for a while, I'll sweep it."

Lin Dong grabbed the broom again and said, "I'm not tired, let me sweep."

"Then go play for a while, play with Xinghe for a while."

"Xinghe went to his grandmother's house."

"Then go find Xiaojun."

"Xiaojun is reading at home."

Lin Lihua asked in surprise: "Xiaojun is reading at home? Why does he love learning so much?"

Lin Dong said: "He has loved learning since he entered junior high school. The head teacher asked everyone to read more world famous Chinese and foreign classics. He has recently become obsessed with British novels and British culture."

"Really? Then you should go and see it quickly, you can't lag behind."

"Xinghe and I have read all the books Xiaojun reads."

"Then you have to read it, go quickly, continue reading, and become a pillar of the country in the future."

"Okay, then I'm going to read a book."

Only then did Lin Dong hand over the broom to Lin Lihua, and when he returned home, he sat at the desk and read a book until noon. After lunch at noon, he continued to return to his room to read. The afternoon sun lazily passed through the window and sprinkled on Lin Dong On the desk, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas outside the window, which lured people to sleep, Lin Dong couldn't help but lay down on the desk and fell asleep. Feeling a cold nose in a daze, he opened his eyes and saw Mu Xinghe.

Mu Xinghe sat on the stool next to him, with his chin resting on the table, Jun looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Are you awake?"

Lin Dong was still a little sleepy, still crawling, blinked his eyes wearily, and asked in a low voice, "Are you back?"

Mu Xinghe said, "Yes."

"Why did you come back at noon?"

"I want to see you. I brought you iced watermelon. Get up and eat it."

"I'm sleepy."

"Sleep after eating."

"I'm sleepy."

"That, that's fine, you go to sleep."

Lin Dong's eyes were closed, and the long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the eye sockets. The ends of the eyelashes seemed to be stained with the sun's light, emitting a fine light, which was very beautiful.

Mu Xinghe pressed his fists to his chin, lay on the table and looked at Lin Dong quietly. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Lin Dong's eyelashes. Touching and touching again, he thought it was fun, and lay down on the table again. Looking at Lin Dong's sleeping face, he smiled contentedly, and fell asleep with a smile on his face, until Jiang Xiaojun came over to call the two of them.

Lin Dong and Mu Xinghe got up together.

Lin Dong said, "Xiaojun, you are here."

Mu Xinghe yawned and said, "Xiaojun, do you want to eat watermelon? I brought watermelon here. Let's eat iced ones together."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "I won't eat."

Mu Xinghe asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

Sitting on the stool, Jiang Xiaojun said: "Qiqi and Xiaochuan's exams are over, the answer sheets are handed in, and the test papers are confiscated. My uncle asked me to come over and invite you. Please give Qiqi an estimate and see how many points Qiqi can get in the test. , can you enter Jinli Middle School?"

Lin Dong and Mu Xinghe stood up together, and Lin Dong said, "I'll go after washing my face."

Mu Xinghe said, "I'm going to wash my face too."

Watching Lin Dong Mu Xinghe walk into the bathroom, Jiang Xiaojun was waiting at the door, and then the three of them went to Qiqi’s house together, helping Qiqi and He Xiaochuan to answer the questions. ...still not so good.

Both Qiqi and He Xiaochuan's expressions changed.

Qiqi's father's face became even uglier.

After matching the answers, although Qiqi and He Xiaochuan's grades have greatly improved compared to last semester, they are not comparable to Jiang Xiaojun's progress back then.

Lin Dong didn't know what to say.

Mu Xinghe said: "Jinli Middle School has different entrance scores every year. Maybe this year's exam questions are too difficult, so the score requirements will be lowered."

Jiang Xiaojun said, "That's it."

Lin Dong said, "Let's wait and see the score."

Papa Qiqi didn't speak.

Qiqi and He Xiaochuan drooped their heads and said nothing. They actually had no opinion on where to go to school, but Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun both went to Jinli Middle School, and they went to Sanli Primary School. How pitiful.

So the reason for the two people's nervousness and sadness is not because of the score, but whether they can enter Jinli Middle School, so the two of them are not as careless as before before the day when the specific score comes down.

On the contrary, the two were afraid of touching the scales of the adults and being beaten up by the fat, so they were careful every day.

Finally came the day when the scores came down. Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun had finished their final exams, and they had already lived their summer vacation. As soon as the three of them got up early in the morning, they got together and went to the Zaizai grocery store to look for He Xiaochuan, but they didn’t see He Xiaochuan. , but saw Qiqi's father, Qiqi's mother, He Qingzhang and Lin Lihua, both at Zaizai's grocery store.

Qiqi's father said: "Chuaner's father, you are a teacher, and you don't know the students' quiz scores, so you have to ask Qiqi and Xiaochuan to go to school."

He Qingzhang said: "The quiz is different from the ordinary exam. Teachers in this school cannot read the papers of our school. After reading, they will be sealed and handed over to the higher level for unified ranking and selection."

"So troublesome?"

"Yeah, so I don't know the score either."

"Then we can only wait for Qiqi and Xiaochuan to come back after reading the scores." Qiqi's father pushed aside the bicycle in his hand, looked and looked in the direction of Jinli Elementary School, and said, "Why don't these two brats come back?" Come back, I'm going to work soon."

Lin Lihua, He Qingzhang and others all looked in the direction of Jinli Primary School.

Lin Dong, Mu Xinghe and Jiang Xiaojun also looked in the direction of Jinli Primary School, wondering how Qiqi and He Xiaochuan did in the exam, whether they could get into Jinli Middle School, or not?

Lin Dong was a little nervous. He had put a lot of effort into tutoring Qiqi and Xiaochuan. If neither of them could get into Jinli Primary School, then his "teacher" really failed.

Being nervous, Jiang Xiaojun suddenly said: "They are back!"

Lin Dong looked up and saw Qiqi and He Xiaochuan walking this way.

The impatient Qiqi's father yelled at the two of them: "Jiang Qiqi, hurry up, I'm going to be late for work! Run as fast as you can!"

Qiqi and He Xiaochuan were shocked by Qiqi's father's yelling, and ran towards this side quickly.

Qiqi's father Lin Lihua and others hurried forward and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"

Qiqi and He Xiaochuan ran panting, with smiles on their faces, looking very happy, Qiqi stretched out his hand for "one", and He Xiaochuan stretched out his hand for "two".

When Lin Dong and the others didn't understand what it meant, Qiqi's father hugged Qiqi up, hugged Qiqi and kissed Qiqi's chubby face, and laughed happily and said, "I knew my son is very good, You actually got the first place in the whole school! That's amazing, I'm proud of you!"

Qiqi's father was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He turned around and said to Lin Dong, "Dong Zai Zai, thank you, you are a good person, and Uncle Huihui will give you a big red envelope!"

Lin Dong always felt that something was wrong, and his smile was extremely unnatural.

Qiqi took a breath and said, "Father, I didn't get the first place in the school."

Qiqi's father asked in shock: "Could it be number one in the district?"

"Not at all."

"That is?"

"I am the bottom one among the students enrolled in Jinli Middle School."

Papa Qiqi was taken aback.

He Xiaochuan continued proudly: "I am the second to last, and our total score is [-] points higher than Kiki!"

Papa Kiki: "..."

Lin Lihua: "..."

Lin Dong: "..."

Mu Xinghe, Jiang Xiaojun and others: "..."
