The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 289, Entering High 3

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the central bookstore, bought the needed books and stationery, and had dinner outside by the way.By the time they got back to where they lived, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

It was only a few days before they went back to school, and the two of them hadn't read much during the summer vacation.

During the few days at home, Qiao Minglang was so busy with accompanying and taking care of the children at home that he didn't even have time to read books.Not to mention Zhou Xing, he has been busy with the school basketball game during this time, and every day he is not training or going to the game, and there is no one around him to urge him, so it is even more impossible for him to take the initiative to read the book.

Seeing that the holiday is coming to an end, the two of them haven't started their summer homework yet.

The teachers in the school will not let the students go just because it is their last summer vacation in high school. Teachers of all subjects have assigned homework and tasks, so before returning to school, take advantage of the few days left I did their homework in a few days and completed the tasks assigned by the teacher.

In the next few days, except for going to the store every day, the two of them basically did their homework and brushed up questions in the dormitory.

In the past, two people were in the same class, and they had to do the same homework. One person could be responsible for half of the work, and then merged together when it was finished.Now that the two of them are not in the same class, they still have one paper and one science. The homework assigned by the teacher is completely different, and each of them has to do a copy.

Zhou Xing finished his homework and wanted to strike. Looking at the young man who was still working hard on the questions, he said, "I really miss the days when we were in the same class. If I had known, I would have chosen liberal arts. Maybe I could be in the same class as you."

Qiao Minglang raised his head, glanced at this person, and could see the thoughts in his heart at a glance, "Don't talk, hurry up and do the questions."

Zhou Xing stretched his legs and leaned back, looking like he was on strike and didn't want to do it anymore, "I think I need to take a break, I'm too tired."

"..." Qiao Minglang, it's been less than half an hour since he finished his homework, so he's too tired?need to have a rest?

He was so angry that he couldn't hold back, and threw a textbook on the table towards Zhou Xing, "I think you are lazy, so I need someone to help you."

"Hey, there are hidden weapons!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something flying towards him, and Zhou Xing quickly reached out to grab it, changed from a lying position to a sitting position, raised the textbook in his hand, and said with a face full of credit: " How about it, am I amazing?"

Qiao Minglang didn't bother to pay attention to this man, he lowered his head to do his question, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, you are too good." Before he could hold back, he rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Honey, what you said doesn't sound very sincere." Zhou Xing put the textbook back on the table, picked up the pen he had put down just now, and teased his boy while doing math problems.

Qiao Minglang remained silent, not wanting to answer this person.

After a while, seeing the boy ignored him, Zhou Xing curled his lips and stopped making noise.

A table, one person occupies half of the space, two people sit side by side, writing their homework seriously, and occasionally encountering doubts, the two will discuss it.

The tail of July passed, ushered in the arrival of August.These students who have officially entered the third year of high school are going back to school.

If they had a little free time before, then after entering the third year of high school, almost all of their time was spent on study.In a seven-day week, they are in class for six and a half days. They even have half-day class on Sunday, and only have half-day rest on Sunday afternoon.

The three-year courses of high school are basically completed before the end of their sophomore year.Some teachers who haven't finished their textbooks will finish their lectures during the make-up period.

In the original words of their teacher, their senior year of high school is mainly used for reviewing, reorganizing the knowledge learned in the past two years, constantly consolidating and strengthening, and adding key points and difficulties. study.

During this period of time, only the third-year students like them make up classes, the second-year students have not come back, and the first-year students have not reported in the future, so the whole campus seems quite empty.

After taking classes for a month, before the end of the class in August, they, the third-year students, had two days off for vacation.

The sun outside the window shines into the house through the open window, and the sun outside is bright.The beginning of autumn has passed, the tail of summer has not yet passed, and the weather in August in Jiangcheng is still very hot.

The fan in the room that had been running all night was still humming, and the two hugging each other on the bed were still sleeping.

When Zhou Xing opened his eyes, he found that the boy in his arms was still sleeping soundly. Looking at the boy's peaceful sleepy eyes, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.Gently pulling out the arm that was pressed by the boy, he got up and drew the curtains of the bedroom, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

They had been in class for a month without taking a break. Knowing that the boy might be really tired during this time, he was not willing to wake him up.After putting on his clothes, he went out and closed the door gently.

After a while, the boy on the bed woke up faintly from his deep sleep.

The curtains were drawn, and there was no light in the bedroom. When Qiao Minglang woke up, he didn't know what time it was.He was the only one on the bed, and Zhou Xing had already woken up.Sitting up from the bed, he stayed in bed for a while, picked up the alarm clock on the table and took a look, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning and almost nine o'clock.

He hadn't woken up so late in a long time.

Getting up from the bed, pulling the clothes on his body, Qiao Minglang opened the bedroom door and walked outside.

"Are you awake?" Zhou Xing was standing in the kitchen cooking noodles. The water had just boiled, and he put the noodles in. On the table were the steamed stuffed buns and deep-fried dough sticks soy milk he had bought outside.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked out and saw the boy coming out, with a smile on his face, and said, "Go and wash your face, I'm cooking noodles, it's almost ready."

"Yeah." Qiao Minglang glanced at someone, scratched his hair, and swayed out the slippers on his feet.

After the two of them sat at the table to eat breakfast and washed their faces, Qiao Minglang recovered.

"Aren't you too tired?" Zhou Xing was holding a bowl of noodles, and it was the first time he had seen the young man with such a listless look.

"It's okay." After waking up from a good night's sleep, Qiao Minglang felt much better.Seeing Zhou Xing pretending so many noodles for him, he said, "Enough, less pretending, give me more soup."

"Is it enough?"

"Okay."

Zhou Xingcai stopped, scooped up a spoonful of soup, put the noodles in front of the young man, then filled a bowl of noodles for himself, and sat down on the chair.

The two of them lived together for so long, and Qiao Minglang cooked most of the meals. The main reason was that his own craftsmanship was not very good. Apart from cooking a bowl of noodles for the boy, he really didn't know what else to cook.

He picked up a deep-fried dough stick and broke it in half, and gave half to the boy.

Qiao Minglang glanced at it, took it, and took a bite.

The food intake of both of them is not small, and coupled with the excessive mental consumption during this period, more calories are needed.Both of them were hungry when they got up early in the morning, and it didn't take long to wipe out all the breakfast on the table.

After breakfast, the two of them cleaned the house, took out the garbage and threw it outside, and went to the store by the way.

Now it's the end of the month, and Qiao Minglang has to go to the store to get the ledger and calculate everyone's salary for this month.

"Is the school on holiday?" Qiao Mingshan saw his little cousin and Zhou Xing coming over, and knew that these two children had to go to class every day after they entered the third year of high school. He hadn't seen his little cousin for half a month.

"Well, yes, two days off at the end of the month." Qiao Minglang replied.

It just happened to be the time when the most people eat in the morning, so the shop is not so busy.

Qiao Mingshan gave up his position to his younger brother, asked his younger brother to come over to take his place, and signaled his little cousin to go outside with him.

"Is the store very busy recently?" Zhou Xing didn't follow, and stood there talking to Qiao Mingyong.

"It's not bad, it's almost the same." Qiao Mingyong laughed.

At this time, there were not many people eating in the store, and the seats outside were all vacant, so the two found a table and sat down.Qiao Mingshan handed this month's account book to his little cousin, and said, "I see that you are so busy studying now, and we are here in the store, so you don't have to keep running here, so as not to affect your study."

"I was wondering, are we going to hire another person to do the accounting?"

"It doesn't matter to me here. It's just that the class time is relatively long recently, and I don't have much time to come here. If it's the account, I can still do it here. It should be fine until I finish my studies here next year. By then Let's see if there is a suitable person to take over." Qiao Minglang knew that none of his cousins ​​and brother-in-laws had read any books, so it might be a bit difficult to handle these accounts, mainly the cousins ​​were unwilling to take over.

Now that he is here, he can do it for the time being.If he hired someone, he would have to pay another salary every month, which he felt was not worthwhile.

The two discussed it, and Qiao Mingshan agreed with his little cousin, "It's just a little hard work for you."

"It's nothing, it won't take up much of my time." Qiao Minglang shook his head, for him to check such a small amount of accounts, it only took half a day to complete.

What he didn't say is that there is Zhou Xing who can help, and the two of them can handle it faster than him alone.

"There's nothing to do in the store, so you go back first and take a nap. When it's around five o'clock in the afternoon, you come over here for dinner, so you don't have to cook it yourself." Seeing that there was nothing in the store, Qiao Mingshan asked his little cousin They went back.

Seeing that it's not busy here, he can deal with the accounts in his hands when he goes back later, Qiao Minglang nodded and said, "That's fine, Zhou Xing and I will go back first, and come back later."

Zhou Xing, who was standing inside, saw Qiao Minglang looking this way, so he went outside.Knowing that they were going back, he said hello to the eldest brother, and then left with the boy.

Qiao Mingshan stood up and watched the two teenagers leave.
