Chapter 36:

In a flash, it ’s Saturday again. This Saturday, the warm school is going to hold a parent meeting, and it ’s not as usual for Changkong to get up early to go to the market to buy food , But got up early and went to Xiangnuan's school.
Because the parents' meeting was held collectively throughout the third grade, there were a lot of parents who came to the school, and the parking spaces outside the school were already full of cars.
Xiang Changkong passed the subway. After arriving at the school, he stood in the garden with a lot of parents waiting outside.
Today's parent conference is mainly divided into two parts. First, in the school auditorium, parents of all grades listen to the leadership speech together, and then each class holds a small parent conference in the classroom.
At this time, it was still class time. When Xiang Nuan heard the loud noise outside, he was a little upset.
Her brother should be here already, he has always been punctual.
The students who were distracted by the parent-teacher meeting in the classroom were more than one warm. The math teacher stood on the podium and reminded out loud: "Did not finish the class, and my heart is flying? Is it that the test is too good? "
A mock test was just organized in the grade. The test was taken on Wednesday, and the papers were graded out in two days. I hurriedly announced the results at today's parent meeting.
Although the papers for some subjects have not yet been issued, everyone has already heard about their scores when the class representative boarded the points. The results of the various subjects are added together and the total score can be compared with the line drawn on the grade.
Xiang Nuan still couldn't get on the line. There was less than a month left for the first examination. Everyone said that the results of the first examination and the college entrance examination were similar. If this is the case, did she have no hope of going to the next entrance examination? Already.
She knew that she had not been as clever as her brother since she was a child, and she did not expect to be admitted to a key university like Xiang Changkong, as long as she could get a regular copy. But now it seems that even this is a luxury.
Xiang Changkong was already sitting in the school auditorium, waiting for the leader to speak. Seeing him so young, the parents sitting next to him couldn't be more like having a high school kid.
He couldn't help but ask curiously, "You are also the parent of the third class?"
Nodded to Changkong, "Yeah" said: "I helped my sister."
The man stunned: "No wonder you look so young."
In the auditorium, leaders of various disciplines, grade leaders and vice-chancellors all came and spoke one by one. Xiangnuan has finished a class on their side and they haven't finished it yet.
Shen Lin was on duty today. He went to the podium and wiped off the teacher's blackboard from the last lesson. When he looked back, he saw that Xiang Nuan was sitting sadly in position.
He thought about it, walked to her, and glanced at her math paper on the table: "What's wrong?"
Xiang Nuan was startled. Seeing Shen Lin, he subconsciously covered his paper with his hand: "Nothing."
Shen Lin raised her eyes on the bridge of her nose and said to her, "Don't cover it, I have seen it."
Xiang Nuan thought of the bright red duck egg on his paper, and his ears were slightly hot. Shen Lin didn't care about this, but she was strangely saying, "You have done the 21st big question, but you haven't done 20 questions? 21 questions are more difficult than 20 questions."
Xiang Nian pursed her lips and said, "My brother told me something similar before."
It was because she saw that this question was very similar to the one she had told her before, so she did it first. According to the thought she had told Changkong to her before, she really solved it step by step.
Shen Lin said, "Oh? Is your brother good at math?"
Mentioning his brother, Xiang Nuan is still proud: "Well, my brother is not only good at mathematics, he is very good in all subjects and smarter than you."
"Really." Shen Lin raised her eyes again and looked at Xiang Nuan. "Why didn't you finish the 20 questions? Wouldn't you if he didn't say that? That means there is something wrong with his teaching method."
Although Shen Lin is a good person, he said his brother, Xiang Nuan is still unhappy: "What is he did not teach well! Then why don't you say that Teacher Luo did not teach well!"
Shen Lindao: "I think successful education is to let students learn to think for themselves, even if they have encountered a problem type they have never seen before, they can find their own solution. This is more useful than teaching them a hundred questions."
Xiang Nuan swaggered and said, "I think the method you are talking about depends on the IQ of the students themselves."
Shen Lin thought for a while and said, "Let me teach you for a month, and see if your brother teaches better, or if I teach better."
Xiang Nuan blinked, and she could have Shen Lin, a free student, give her a free lecture for one month, then she would only make a profit: "The deal."
When they were halfway through another class, the language teacher was notified that the main meeting of the auditorium was over. The head teacher came over to get everyone to pack up, adjusted the tables and chairs, and the parents began to gather in the hallway outside the classroom.
The school stipulates that after the parents' meeting begins, students can leave school one class in advance, but most students stay at the school and wait for the parents to go together.
Xiang Nuan didn't dare to say hello to Changkong, holding the packed schoolbag directly, and sneaked away from the back door alone.
When she was out of school, she still had a bitter melon face. Last month's monthly exam, she failed the exam. Although Xiang Changkong didn't say anything about her, she felt uncomfortable. This mock test, she failed the test again. I don't know what my brother would think when she saw her transcript.
She kicked the pebble on the road and did not want to go home. She took out her mobile phone, flipped through her contacts, and finally sent a message to Xu Lian: "Sister Xu Lian, are you free now? Can I go to you? ? "
Xu Lian was in the shop at the moment. She had previously told Chang Kong that she would open a parent's meeting with Xiang Nuan. She might not be able to cook at noon, so she would come back in the afternoon. Seeing the news from Xiang Nuan, she was a little surprised: "Your parent meeting is over?"
Xiang Nuan: No, my brother is still in a meeting, I will leave school first
Xu Lian thought about it and didn't ask her why she didn't go home, but sent her her position.
Xu Lian: I'm in the store. Come on.
Xu Lian: Are you rich?
Xiang Nuan: Yes, I took the subway very quickly
There is a subway near their school that can directly reach the Starlight Park, and there is no need to change. At Xingguang Park, she found Xu Lian's shop by the address and pushed in.
Zhang Guoer, who was greeting his guests, looked subconsciously towards the door and said to her, "Welcome to monster."
Xiang Nuan has always followed Xu Weidian's Weibo, but when he actually came to the field, he still felt very different. She always felt that Xu Lian was amazing. She could open such a stylish shop in Xingguang Park. She looked at the candles in the shop strangely and asked Zhang Guoer, "Hello."
Xu Lian stepped out of the workshop and stood upstairs and shouted, "Xiang Nuan."
Raised his head to Nuan and smiled happily at her: "Sister Xu Lian."
"Come on." She beckoned toward Nuan, and said to Zhang Guo'er, "She came to me, you don't need to worry."
"Oh ..." As a quasi-writer, Zhang Guoer has a keen heart. Xiang Nuan ... Surname Xiang, and Xiang brother have a surname.
She remembered that the brother said he had a younger sister.
"Please help me wrap this up." The customers in the shop chose a candle and handed it to Zhang Guoer.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhang Guoer glanced upstairs to pack candles for the guests.
In Xu Lian's workshop, she lowered her bag to Nuan and looked at her operating table with curiosity: "Are these the tools you usually use to make candles?"
"Well, do you want to drink water?"
"Okay, thank you." She took the water that Xu Lian had poured for her, picked up a candle that Xu Lian had just made, and looked up. "Wow, this starry sky cup is so beautiful."
The dark blue looks very clear under the light, and the tiny silver powder is like the stars dotted in the night sky.
"Do you like it? It's simple. I teach you to do it?"
"May I?"
Xu Lian smiled, walked to the cupboard where various sundries were piled up, took a glass from it and gave her: "Just use this."
"Okay." Xiang Nuan followed Xu Lian into a pot of jelly wax, and then used the pigment to adjust the color of the starry sky.
"The color below should be darker, you can match some purple, in order to get closer to the night sky, you can press with black."
"Okay." Xiang Nuan concentrated intently, just like he was doing a chemical experiment. "Is that okay?"
Xu Lian glanced and said, "You think you can do it. Pay attention to the temperature. The bottom layer should not be too low."
"Enn." Xiang Nuan felt that the color was almost the same, and he added the gold powder to stir evenly, and poured the wax into the glass.
When she was on the second floor, she was a lot more comfortable than she was just now. Even when she was coloring, she was distracted and talked to Xu Lian: "Sister Xu Lian, I don't want to go to college."
Xu Lian paused to stir the wax liquid and asked her, "Why?"
Xiang Nuan frowned: "I didn't take a test this time, I really worked very hard, I used to read books almost all the time except sleeping ..." She even cut off her most Like long hair, just to save a little time to shampoo and comb your hair.
Xu Lian didn't understand her very well: "Don't you go to college without a book?" Are the Xiangjia people so tough? Then she from one of the three colleges ... No wonder her mother said she was studying at Pheasant University.
Xiang Nuan said: "I haven't been as smart as my brother since I was a kid, and my grades have not been outstanding, but my grades are still no problem in an ordinary university, and I have always planned this way."
"Well, why don't you want to read it?"
Xiang Nuan bit his lower lip subconsciously and said, "But now it's different. Since the accident at home, my brother has taken care of everything and even gave up graduate school. He is not the same as me, he clearly So smart ... "
If one of her and Xiang Changkong should continue to study, it must be her brother.
"I know that he gave up studying, or even gave up work at a big company, for my mother and me. He gave up everything to keep me studying, but I couldn't even get a copy. Although he didn't say me, But I really don't know how to face him. "
Her achievement is far from worth giving up to Changkong.
Xu Lian was silent for a while, took a drinking glass and took a sip of water, looked at her and said, "I think you are putting too much pressure on you. Have you thought of these thoughts in your heart to your brother?"
He shook his head toward the buried head. Tell her brother that she doesn't want to go to college anymore? She couldn't imagine how he would react.
Xu Lian's cell phone rang. She picked it up and called to the sky.
"Your brother."
Xiang Nuan looked at her nervously, Xu Lian answered the phone and said to the human on the other side of the phone: "Xiang Changkong, what's wrong?"
"Xu Lian, is Xiang Nuan with you? After I had the parents' meeting, I came out to see her gone. I thought she was going home, but when I got home, I found that there was no home, and she couldn't get through."
Xu Lian said: "Well, don't worry, she is here with me."
"Oh, that's good." He breathed out to the sky, and said to her, "Will you come together?"
"Okay, I'll drive it over and buy some food by the way."
"No need, I'll just buy it."
"Okay." Xu Lian talked to Changkong and looked up at Xiangnuan. "Let's go home. There are some things to talk to your brother in person."
