Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

"Huh?" I was confused... Wait, could it be that some attribute of Tang Xin was activated?

"Hehe, Xiaomeng, don't worry, I will definitely make you very happy!"

Looking at Tang Xin who was becoming more and more strange, I actually felt a little bit of expectation in my heart. Am I also broken?

I was so possessed by some strange force that I said something in front of her that I couldn't believe it myself: "Then...be gentle..."

"!!"

"Tang Xin! Let's go home first!! Um..."

Chapter 116 Summer Plan

The most troublesome thing about renting a house off campus is that once the holidays come, the rent is paid in vain. Tang Xin and I will definitely go back, but it is impossible to cancel the lease at the last minute, otherwise we will have to find a new house and move when the next semester comes, which is definitely not worth it.

"It's summer vacation!" Tang Xin stood behind me and helped me comb my hair.

"Yeah, I'm getting ready to go home." The feeling of the comb running across my scalp is very comfortable, especially in this hot summer, and it is so pleasant to have someone help me tie my ponytail.

"Have you dealt with Liu Lanlan?"

"Well, she has almost finished her review. She told me that she should do well in the final exam. It was her first time to experience an exam in which she answered all the questions correctly, and she was a little excited. She said this was the first time she felt calm during an exam, and she was not so anxious after the test." When I thought of the girl who had changed so much, I felt happy for her from the bottom of my heart.

"Where's her mother?"

"Her mother, it seems that live streaming sales are very popular now. She must have made a lot of money, right? After all, she is a beauty, right?"

"Then have you considered continuing to live broadcast? At least you don't have to work so hard to teach the children, right? I remember that virtual anchor of yours had a lot of fans?" Tang Xin took a rubber band from the dressing table, drew a few circles between her index finger and thumb, grabbed my hair and weaved it back and forth, and she finally made a heroic ponytail.

"I don't want to go anymore, at least not before graduation. It will waste too much time. I think I should enrich myself as much as possible in college." Thinking about how I spent four years in college in a daze, I still feel that there are too many regrets. I should try not to regret anything in this life, right?

"It's just like you, me~" Tang Xin held my cheek and kissed me. The soft touch mixed with the faint body fragrance made me feel a little tipsy.

"Sure enough, Tang Xin still makes my hair look good." I looked at myself in the mirror with a slightly blushing face and nodded with satisfaction. This light makeup, paired with the light pink T-shirt with cartoon pony patterns and black gold-edged horse-faced skirt that Tang Xin picked for me today, made my whole temperament become pure.

"Yeah, my Xiaomeng now looks like an innocent and pure high school student." Tang Xin also praised.

"No way!" I felt embarrassed when she praised me like that.

"That's right. Who could have imagined that with such an innocent appearance, last night she was so..." She was about to continue when she was glared at.

"Are you talking nonsense again?" I said unhappily.

"Huhu, I won't tease you anymore. No matter how naughty you are, you are still the purest and cutest in my eyes." Tang Xin's words made me feel a little ecstatic.

"I've said all the good things to you." I curled my lips.

"By the way, what are you planning to do during the summer vacation?" Tang Xin asked curiously.

“Go and teach.”

“Ah?” The smile froze on her face. “Wha…what? Say it again? I didn’t hear you clearly?”

"Go to the mountainous areas to teach!" I rubbed her soft face.

"Eh? Don't children in mountainous areas have summer vacation?" Tang Xin looked at me strangely, "And the conditions are very difficult, right? Is there any danger?"

"Children in mountainous areas already lack educational resources. During the summer vacation, college students will go there to teach, and they look forward to this time to catch up on their lessons! As for whether it is safe or not, do you think it is still the same as before? Will they sell you over there as a wife?" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Well, I'll go too!" Tang Xin lowered her head and thought for a while, as if she had made a difficult decision.

"Didn't you tell me that you had an important plan for the summer vacation?"

"Yeah." Tang Xin was a little disappointed and looked at me pitifully, "But I just want you to be with me."

"I'll only be gone for a month. Isn't summer vacation two months long?" I touched her head. "And it's in the next province. I'll be back soon. On the other hand, are you really going to start writing a novel this time?"

"Well, when I took out the manuscripts I saved from high school a while ago, I felt dissatisfied with many parts and planned to rewrite them." Tang Xin said seriously, "I think it will take a lot of time to finish a book. At the beginning, I didn't plan to write a long novel, just a short one. I think one summer vacation will be enough, right?"

"Then when I come back, won't I be able to read half of the novel you wrote?" I was a little surprised.

"Roughly the same?"

……

Two days later, on June 20th, after tidying up the room, Tang Xin drove Xiaobai and I back home. After learning about my "shocking" plan, Teacher Song and my aunt were very shocked, because in their opinion, I seemed to have chosen a very shocking option.

"Are you really going to X County?" My aunt's face was full of worry and she looked very uneasy.

"Well, yes. I saw it online a while ago and just signed up. I didn't expect that I would be successful." I felt a little embarrassed when I saw my aunt's look.

"Xiao Meng, are you taking Tang Xin with you?" Although Teacher Song did not show any emotional changes on the surface, one could still feel her worry from her tone.

"Tang Xin is not going. She is staying at home obediently." I shook my head. "But she supports my plan!"

"I was just thinking that you were going to do what you wanted to do. How could I object? I'm worried about you too." Tang Xin said from the side.

"Sister..." Xiaoling didn't say anything, but she pulled my sleeve and sat next to me.

"Can't you guys be so serious? I have to go for an interview in a few days. I can only officially go after I pass the interview." Looking at the four people with serious expressions, I felt a lot of pressure.

"Okay! But if you go, you must tell us your location, physical condition and other information at any time. We will check on you every day." Teacher Song thought about it and compromised.

My aunt looked a little struggling, obviously she didn't want me to go: "Yaxin, why are you..."

"The children are over 18 years old and they have the right to make their own choices. As adults, we cannot always protect them with our wings. You see, they have all been abroad. Aren't we still in our safe country?" Teacher Song said, stroking the aunt's hand.

The family meeting ended here. My aunt and Teacher Song went about their own business. Xiaoling went back to her room in a depressed mood. Only Tang Xin and I were left in the living room, sitting there in a daze.

"Have I gone too far?" After seeing everyone's expressions, I also understood that everyone actually didn't want me to go, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud because of my will.

"Not really, but maybe I'm a little reluctant, right?" Tang Xin smiled bitterly, "After all, you are a treasure in the eyes of everyone in our family, and you are irreplaceable in my heart."

"Um...I'm sorry. I was just browsing the internet that day, but I didn't expect that you would actually contact me."

"Then, Xiaomeng, can you tell me the real purpose of your teaching?" Tang Xin looked at me straight.

----

Author's words: Lately I've been feeling tired again, old and useless.

Chapter 117: Acquaintance

"So, what is your purpose in participating in the teaching program?" Looking at the interviewer asking me the question, I remembered that Tang Xin asked me the same question the day before yesterday.

Gilding? Sorry, the experience of teaching in rural areas has little contribution to the help of entering a large company or improving one's resume. Experiencing life? My life has been very hard since I was a child, and there is no need to show off. Improving my own level? It seems that there is no need for this. Asking Teacher Song for advice would be a faster option.

I recalled the night when I clicked the mouse to sign up. It was a vlog of a cute little volunteer teacher that inspired my belief. The angels she captured, eager for knowledge, drove me to press the button.

"Eyes!" I looked up, and at this moment I finally remembered the answer that had been bothering me for two days.

The examiners in front of me were obviously confused by my answer and were whispering to each other.

"The children's eyes are my motivation. I want to bring my strength to those eyes that are eager for knowledge. No matter how small or insignificant it is, I don't want to let them down." I looked at the examiner in front of me firmly and persistently.

Obviously, my answer surprised them a little.

"It's rare to hear such an answer." The female examiner sitting on the left pushed up her glasses. "Very good. But I will ask you a few questions next. I hope you can answer them truthfully."

"it is good."

"Are you prepared for any danger?"

"Dangerous?" Although Tang Xin and her family have been telling me to protect my safety these days, I have never seriously considered this issue. Is it really life-threatening to go to teach?

She smiled and shook her head, as if she saw through my inner doubts: "The impoverished mountainous areas are not like the big cities here. There will be landslides, jackals and wild beasts, or sudden illnesses that cannot be treated in time. Have you considered these things?"

I was stunned, then smiled with relief: "I'm not afraid, I'm ready."

"Oh, not bad. Although you are one of the outstanding students I have interviewed these days, I still have to remind you to bring some necessary self-defense equipment." She smiled and nodded, and then asked: "Can you endure the harsh conditions there?"

"Sure, no problem." I answered promptly.

She tapped the table lightly with the pen in her hand: "Just a reminder, be careful in your answer. I see that you are also a spoiled female college student. You may say it's okay, but don't be so upset that you want to come back after just one day. Your enthusiasm can't withstand the reality of one day."

"Examiner, I am responsible for every word I say. I feel it is inappropriate to define a person's character based on his or her appearance. I have experienced a hard life before. I have lived in a dormitory with five people in a room, slept in a cubicle with a hard bed without air conditioning, and gritted my teeth to eat only one bowl of instant noodles a day. No matter how hard or difficult it is, I will get through it." I was not convinced by being called a spoiled child. I regretted it as soon as I said it. After all, it was considered as contradicting the examiner.

"Really? I don't think you're that old, are you?" She seemed a little unconvinced. "When did it happen?"

I froze. I couldn't say it was in my previous life, could I? I had no choice but to grit my teeth and avoid the question: "A long time ago, after my parents passed away."

Apparently, this sentence was very damaging. I even heard an examiner's pen slip off the table and fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry." She cleared her throat, as if realizing that she had asked the wrong question, and nodded slightly at me with a guilty look on her face.

At this time, the older examiner in the middle stroked his chin, looked at me and said, "Then I will ask a few more specific questions. For example, if you have a conflict of ideas with a local teacher and you have a quarrel, what will you choose to do?"

I was stuck. This question was beyond my preparation. In the past few days, I have learned some first aid knowledge, escape knowledge, and some psychology, but I have not considered interpersonal relationships.

"Will you use your own moral system to convince the teacher, or choose not to argue and just accept it?" he asked again.

After a brief thought, I answered, "In my opinion, values, outlook on life, world view and even morality are all stratified. I came from the lowest level of the people, so I think I am qualified to say this. The people in the mountainous areas are not backward in their concepts, but are limited to their class. I think I should be more understanding instead of arguing with others. This problem can be avoided at the source."

"Okay, I've finished asking questions." He seemed very happy. "Your preliminary interview has ended. Go back and wait for notification. You will usually receive the result tomorrow."

After packing up my things, I stood up, bowed to the examiners, said thank you and goodbye, and walked out of the interview room. There were still a few people sitting at the door ready to be interviewed. I breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the building.

It was not until I came out of the Education Bureau that I realized my palms were full of sweat. Tang Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, ran over and asked curiously, "How is it going? Is there any result?"

Seeing her curious look, I had to pinch her face and say, "Wait for the results tomorrow!"

"Xiao Meng, there will be no problem. You are so outstanding, they must be vying for you!" Tang Xin said unconvinced, "You should be approved immediately!"

"No way! Let's go home!"

"Ah."

Although Tang Xin said this, I was humble. But forgive me for being a little proud inside. I also thought that there was nothing wrong with my answer, and there was no reason for me to reject me. Why didn't you give me an answer in public, but waited a day?

……

The next day came, and I was so anxious waiting for the text message that I didn't even have much appetite. It wasn't until 2 pm that I received the text message receipt from the Education Bureau.

But the content on this receipt leaves me a little confused.

It was neither an approval nor a rejection, but a notice for a second interview, requiring me to go to the Education Bureau for another interview at 3 pm.

"Strange, didn't they tell us the result? I haven't even heard of a second round of interviews." Tang Xin, who drove me to the Education Bureau, was a little annoyed, and seemed confused and angry about the decision of the Education Bureau leaders.

I could only comfort her and console myself: "Maybe there are too many people who registered this time? Are they all excellent?"

This time, Tang Xin took me to the Education Bureau building and sat down on a bench in the hall angrily. She said she would wait for me to come out of the interview, and if I failed, she would go to argue on my behalf.

When I entered the interview room again, a familiar person was sitting there, smiling at me with his eyes curved.
