After the parent meeting, the matter of the monthly exam was officially over.Both the teacher and the students are engaged in intensive study again, preparing for the next monthly exam.

After the day entered November, Nancheng officially entered winter, and the temperature dropped dozens of degrees almost overnight.

The cold wind was howling, and the wet and cold weather in the south made Tao Jia, who claimed to be a wolf in the north, freeze into a husky, wrapped in a big cotton jacket and howling in the cold.There is no heating in winter in the south, and the school said that the weather is not yet the coldest, so they are not allowed to turn on the air conditioner, so everyone is so cold that their hands and feet are cold, and they can't wait to bring a stove to class.

Tao Jia got angry this time. Except for eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom, he buried the rest of his time in the book. Even his favorite basketball was sidelined by him. Chu Yue pulled him several times but failed to let him go. Leaving his ass from the chair, he gave up after a long time, but he was still a little unwilling, and often dangled a basketball in front of his eyes.However, Tao Jia's determination this time is very firm, despite the temptation of three thousand, he will not move.

After a month like this, Tao Jia's second monthly exam score made a qualitative leap, jumping from 558 to 405, an improvement of 153 places.

Although Tao Jia's results are still not that good when viewed horizontally, Wang Meili is quite satisfied.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you make progress, come on little by little. We are only in the first year of high school now, and we are not in a hurry." At dinner, Wang Meili specially made a large pot of stewed ribs for Tao Jia, and personally served Tao Jia. I picked up the biggest piece, with a very pleasant expression.

Tao Jia took the ribs flattered, still feeling a little uneasy, not sure if Wang Meili was telling the truth.

Tao Jianguo also gave praise in due course.

Tao Jia ate a pot of pork ribs in a complicated mood.

When I left the table, I heard Wang Meili say again: "The mid-term exam will be in two weeks. This is much more important than the monthly exam. Do you want to keep it clear?"

"Then do you want to enroll in cram school?" Tao Jia asked.

"Not for the time being, the final result depends on your midterm grades." Wang Meili rested her chin on one hand and looked at Tao Jia with a smile. Hundred. If we can improve by a hundred every time, we will be able to squeeze into the top [-] soon."

Wang Meili's calculation was very good, and Tao Jia was a little moved by what she heard, but she still managed to keep her sense.

"Mom, don't think too much. How can you improve by more than 100 every time? If it is so easy, everyone can go to Tsinghua University and Peking University? Moreover, the midterm exam is definitely more difficult than the monthly exam. It is not certain whether you can pass the exam. Woolen cloth."

Wang Meili smiled and expressed her understanding, and comforted him not to be too stressed, as long as he made progress.

Tao Jia finally felt relieved now, happily thinking that making progress is not easy?To improve one place is also to improve.

Unfortunately, God just failed to fulfill his wish.

Half a month later, the results of the senior high school entrance examination will be released.To Tao Jia's disappointment, instead of improving his results, he fell back by 50 places, and accidentally fell back to the rear of the car.

Tao Jia wanted to die the moment the results were announced.

Ming Nan comforted him: "The questions this time are generally quite difficult. Some of the math questions are beyond the standard, and it's not all your fault that you don't do well in the exam."

Tao Jia looked at him speechlessly.The title is difficult and you still come first? !Can you get full marks for the exam? !

People are more popular than dead people!

After the self-study that night, Tao Jia returned home with a heavy heart. When he met Wang Meili, who was full of spring breeze, he couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"Jiajia is back." Wang Meili patted her son's head, "Are you hungry? Mom has prepared a midnight snack for you and put it on the table for you. Go and eat after washing your hands."

"Yeah." Tao Jia murmured, took off her schoolbag and went into the kitchen to wash her hands, without mentioning the grades at all.

Wang Meili was reading the financial statements in the living room. She caught sight of Tao Jia's schoolbag thrown on the sofa and remembered the exam. She immediately put down the report and walked into the dining room: "Did your mid-term results come out?"

Tao Jia's heart skipped a beat, trying to keep calm, and hummed softly: "I just came out today."

"How did you do in the exam? Show me the transcript." Wang Meili stretched out her hand.

Tao Jia always felt that this scene seemed familiar.Tao Jianguo didn't come home after working overtime tonight. This time Wang Meili lost his temper, but no one could save him.

Strolling to the living room, Tao Jia almost used a slow speed to delay the time. Later, Wang Meili got impatient and took the initiative to snatch it.

Tao Jia distanced himself from Wang Meili, and was the first to admit his mistake: "I didn't perform well this time. You can scold or beat me up, and I will definitely not resist."

Wang Meili stared at the report card for a while, her expression was not particularly good but she didn't get angry unexpectedly, she even smiled after hearing Tao Jia's statement.She handed the report card back to Tao Jia, and lightly reprimanded him with a smile: "How did you learn it? You can beat or scold as much as you want, and you will never resist. When did I really hit you?"

There's something wrong with this plot development.

Tao Jia didn't know if this was the calm before the storm, and took a step back cautiously: "Mom, aren't you angry? I didn't do well in the exam this time. Not only did I not improve, but I also regressed so much."

Wang Meili waved her hand nonchalantly: "I didn't expect you to improve every time. Let's forget this time, but you must not regress next time. Come and eat noodles first. It's too late."

The alarm was finally lifted.Only then did Tao Jia put his heart back to the original place, and happily went to eat noodles. Halfway through eating, he bit his chopsticks and asked Wang Meili, "Mom, you seem to be in a good mood today."

"See it?" Wang Meili smiled even more happily.

"What happened?"

Wang Meili talked to Tao Jia enthusiastically: "Mom met a little sister when she was young today. I didn't expect that she also lived in this community."

"Sister? Which one? Do I know you?"

"You don't know her. She was my mother's classmate when she was studying. I lost contact after getting married. I haven't seen her for almost 20 years. I didn't expect her to be in Nancheng. What's more, she also lives in this community."

Seeing Wang Meili smiling so happily, Tao Jia laughed too, and after eating a chopstick noodle, he asked, "Then why did you get in touch again all of a sudden?"

"Didn't your dad and I go to visit friends in a neighboring city on the National Day? That friend is our mutual friend. She knew that I was also in Nancheng and gave me your Auntie Dong's contact information. However, she was busy with work a while ago and had no time. Contact, I didn't expect to meet at the gate of the community when I went out to buy vegetables today."

"This is called fate." Tao Jia said with a smile.

"That's right, so I invited your Aunt Dong's family to come to my house for dinner on weekends. Aunt Dong's family also has a son who is the same age as you. Remember to treat your friends well."

"Don't worry, dealing with people is my specialty." Tao Jia clenched his fist and hammered his chest.

Wang Meili pinched his face with a smile: "Your mouth is barely considered an advantage."

Tao Jia was not convinced: "I obviously have other bright spots, but you have been ignoring them all the time. If you don't believe me, I will list them all for you now."

Wang Meili knocked his head to interrupt his boasting, stood up and said: "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, go back to sleep after eating, don't be late for school tomorrow."

Tao Jia, who boasted of failure, swallowed the last mouthful of noodles angrily.

The day is quickly approaching Saturday.

Early in the morning, Tao Jia was still curled up in the warm bed dreaming sweet dreams when she was woken up by Wang Meili's loud voice.

"Get up quickly! After sleeping, you will know how to sleep! The sun is drying your butt!" Said, Wang Meili opened the window.

The biting cold wind blew in, Tao Jia shivered from the cold, buried half of her face in the quilt, closed her eyes and muttered: "Mom, it's only eight o'clock, why did you wake me up so early?" ah."

Wang Meili waved her hand and threw the quilt on the ground, trying to wake her son up from the cold.

Tao Jia was only wearing thin autumn clothes and long johns, shivering from the cold without any heat preservation tools, groping for the quilt on the bed with his eyes closed, after a long time without success, he dragged the pillow into his arms more than nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Meili threw the pillow away again: "Aunt Dong and the others are coming soon, I order you to get up immediately, change into decent clothes, and make a good impression on the elders when you meet for the first time. And Clean up your kennel too, if they see the mess like this, it will be okay?"

Tao Jia reluctantly got up from the bed, wrapped her body in a blanket to keep warm: "Aren't they just childhood best friends, and it's not a blind date, so it's necessary to be so grand."

"What do you know, this is respect for others." Wang Meili pushed her son into the bathroom, "Hurry up and tidy yourself up! Speed!"

Tao Jia slowly brushed his teeth and washed his face. When he returned to the room, Wang Meili had already folded the quilt for him, cleaned up the dirty clothes, and put the new clothes on the bed for him.

Wang Meili had already returned to the kitchen, and the power of her loud voice was weakened after a few doors.

"Tao Jia, hurry up and have breakfast after changing your clothes, and after breakfast, clean up the pile of books you said on the table, and the living room floor is dirty, and drag it along the way."

Tao Jia was dissatisfied and protested: "Why did you tell me to do it, where is my dad?"

"Your dad still wants to buy groceries, or do you want to help him do so?" Wang Meili came out of the kitchen.Today she specially put on light makeup and put on new clothes. She transformed from a shrewd and capable housewife into a bright and charming noble lady. Tao Jia didn't dare to recognize her at first.

"It's not impossible," Tao Jia felt that shopping for vegetables was easier than dragging the floor, so he agreed without hesitation, but he regretted it instantly after seeing the list that was two palms long.

"I think the delicate work of buying vegetables should be left to my dad. I can't even recognize the vegetables. If you buy the wrong one, you will scold me again." Tao Jia explained cheekily.

Wang Meili sneered: "I'm ashamed to say, quickly mop the floor for me!"

"Okay!" Tao Jia put the shopping list back on the table, and walked to the living room with a mop in his hands.

At eleven o'clock at noon, everything was finally ready.After Tao Jia's cleaning, the house became completely new, and a bunch of vegetables bought by Tao Jianguo were also turned into delicious dishes with good color and aroma under Wang Meili's skillful hands.

Then the doorbell rang.

Wang Meili looked happy, and while taking off her apron, she said to Tao Jia, "Jiajia, go and open the door, Aunt Dong and the others are here."

"Oh," Tao Jia opened the door with a carrot in his mouth.

Just as he was about to open the door, Wang Meili told him inside: "Smile and be polite. Remember to say hello to uncles and aunts."

"Got it." Tao Jia stuffed the carrot into his pocket, practiced smiling at the door before opening it.

As the door was opened, several figures appeared outside the door. He cleared his throat, smiled, and opened his mouth.

"Uncle..."

He shouted halfway and then fell silent.

Inside the door, Tao Jia stared at the people outside the house as if he had seen a ghost.

Outside the door, Zheng Qin tilted his head: "Uncle? Are you calling me?"

The author has something to say: [Evil taste that every man cannot escape]

Zheng Qin: "Uncle? Is this your little hobby? But I prefer to hear you call me Dad."
