"What else? It's almost four o'clock now." Zhang Xueyan nodded, "What about you? What should we do? We haven't taken the exams for two courses yet."

"Just leave it alone." Tang Xin had a sly smile on her face, "Teacher Song excluded us from the rankings!"

"Wow! This is so cunning! Teacher Song! How can you be so nice to them!"

"It's okay if you fall down too~"

Teacher Song scratched her nose, and the little girl immediately became obedient: "Well, I'd better take the exam. I don't want to turn into a mummy."

"Hey, who are you calling a mummy?" I was lying on the side and was also shot. I was indignant, "I am a patient after all, please don't make fun of me!"

"Hehe, Xiaomeng. It's my fault~~" She smiled but didn't seem to be apologizing sincerely. "By the way, why are you guys here?"

"Ah, when we came out of the hospital, Teacher Song said she found a delicious dessert shop and insisted on taking us there to try it." Tang Xin continued.

After hearing this, the little girl and her aunt's eyes narrowed into a straight line.

"Yeah! Yeah! I said my mom's desserts are delicious!"

I can’t collect anymore, I’m torn.

Chapter 41 Homecoming Day

A week later, my injuries had recovered. The wound on my head was not that big, so I finally took off the bandage before returning to school. During this period, Xiaoling changed my bandages. She didn't ask much, but just blamed me for being too careless and falling down.

The fifth day after the winter vacation is the back-to-school day, when students need to go back to school to get their transcripts and certificates. Students generally don’t need to arrive too early on the back-to-school day, as long as they arrive before 9 a.m. So on this day, students come to school quite late, probably because they start to sleep in after the vacation.

Of course, I was no exception. I woke up naturally at almost eight in the morning. I slowly got dressed, had breakfast, and went out. It was already past eight thirty. When I stepped into the classroom, the nine o'clock bell rang.

As soon as I stepped into the classroom, the noisy class suddenly became quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were on me.

"Why are you looking at me?" I was frightened by their stares. I couldn't stand their gazes and couldn't help but ask back.

As soon as I sat down, Jiang Yu came up to me and asked, "Hey, what were you doing the night before the final exam? Why didn't you come to the exam the next day?"

I glanced at him and didn't answer.

"Don't ignore me, I'm telling you. Xueyan is so worried. Your classmates are also spreading all kinds of rumors, saying that you and Tang Xin were kidnapped, attacked, and even... raped..."

"By what? By your head!" I turned around, rolled up the test paper and slapped it on his hand, "Don't guess. But you, Xueyan even screamed? You're progressing pretty fast!"

“Hehehe,” he rubbed his head, looking silly, “It’s all because of your good assists, big sister.”

"Stop!" I quickly stopped him, "Don't call me big sister, I won't accept a little brother like you."

"What are you talking about? You look so cheerful?" Tang Xin had entered the classroom without me noticing. Today she was wearing a beige coat which was very fitted for her. Even though she was wearing it very warmly, her curves were still exquisite, which made me stare at her in a daze.

"Let's talk about you being kidnapped." I came to my senses and said to her.

"No, no, no, don't listen to Li Xiaomeng's nonsense." Jiang Yu waved his hands and denied it as if he had stepped on an electric wire. "It's nothing. I'm just worried about you."

"Quiet, Teacher Song is here." Class monitor Xu Jianlin shouted, and the whole class immediately fell silent.

"Is everyone here?" Teacher Song glanced at the class. "Since everyone is here, Xu Jianlin and Li Xiaomeng, please come up and pass this out."

I went up to take a look and saw the ranking list of the whole class. I was not the first this time, and Tang Xin was not among them. As we distributed the report cards, the originally quiet classroom began to whisper.

"Sure enough, their results are gone."

"Haha, there are times when Li Xiaomeng doesn't get first place."

"Do you know where they went?"

"I don't know. I heard that the police came that night."

"Are the police okay? Is there something serious going on?"

"They don't look alike."

Gossip spreads like a virus.

Our results were not included in the report card. Teacher Song gave us two separate labels, which were the transcripts for the first day of the exam. They were pretty good. Tang Xin's rankings in individual subjects were in the top 20. We were both very stable.

"I'm sure everyone has received their transcripts." Teacher Song waited for everyone to read their transcripts for a while before speaking. "You've also seen the last column of the transcript, the school rankings. Our class's overall results are pretty good, with the top 100 and top 50 students ranking first. And everyone's scores are very close, which shows that the competition is still very fierce. Rankings are only temporary. If you didn't do well, work harder next time. If you did well, stay calm and keep up the good work."

Teacher Song paused, "Here, I want to especially praise Bai Xilu, whose chemistry grades have improved by leaps and bounds. This time, her total score has improved from outside the top 40 in the mid-term to 30th in the class. I also want to thank the study committee member Li Xiaomeng for her full help. Therefore, in addition to the scholarships for the top three students in the class, I also plan to give these two students two hundred yuan each as progress awards and help learning awards as encouragement."

The whole class was shocked for a moment. There was actually an extra prize. They seemed to have never heard of it before.

"Hey, I have no objection to moving to Bai Xilu. But why can people who didn't take the exam get the prize?"

"Yeah, you can still win a prize by skipping the final exam?"

"I think Li Xiaomeng is close to the teacher and relies on connections."

"No way, just for 200 yuan?"

"She wanted to be famous, so who knows why she didn't come to take the exam that day."

The rumors naturally reached the teacher's ears. "Students, don't think too much. Li Xiaomeng fell and hurt her head on the first night of the exam. Did Tang Xin take her to the hospital? Please don't be suspicious. Li Xiaomeng's help in everyone's studies over the past semester and a half is obvious to all. I think she deserves this award."

"Yes, no problem." Liu Jiacheng was the first to shout. He was the first person to taste the sweetness of grapes.

Seeing that his brothers had all called out, Jiang Yu naturally did not fall behind, "Li Xiaomeng also helped me solve a lot of doubts, and she really deserves the honor."

So with each of us talking, the award finally fell into my hands.

At noon, after listening to the principal's announcement, the back-to-school day ended, and everyone walked out of the classroom in groups of three or two, discussing where to eat and what to do in the afternoon.

Teacher Song called Tang Xin and I aside, and after all the students had left, he said to me, "I'm sorry, the teacher can only get you a scholarship of 200 yuan."

Before I could say anything, Tang Xin spoke first: "What? Just giving two hundred yuan to comfort someone? That's too stingy."

"Tang Xin, don't be like this. This is not something Teacher Song can decide." I pulled her hand and told her not to care so much.

"Xiao Meng, how is your injury? I hope it's not serious." Teacher Song still seemed a little worried.

"Yeah!" I raised my arm and clenched my fist, showing off my muscles like Popeye. "I've fully recovered. There are no bruises at all!"

"That's good! Do you have any plans for the winter vacation?" Teacher Song's brows relaxed and he looked relieved.

"Just do your homework first, and try to finish it all before the New Year. Then you can go out and play with Xiaomeng during the New Year."

"Where are you going to play? Aren't you going to visit relatives?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. There are still 10 days left, so I can plan it carefully." Tang Xin supported her chin with one hand, pretending to think.

"Where's Teacher Song?" I turned around and asked her, "Do you want to go on a trip with your aunt? Is it considered a pre-wedding trip?"

Teacher Song blushed slightly: "Xiao Meng! How come you have become a bad person? I haven't decided yet."

Maybe I can take a break tomorrow, I want to sleep in!

Chapter 42 Dream

"Sister! Wake up."

I opened my eyes hazily and saw Xiaoling standing at the head of my bed, looking down at me. The air outside the quilt was a little cold, so I shrunk my head into the quilt: "No, let me sleep a little longer."

Getting up early in the winter is really torturous. I finally have a winter vacation, so please allow me to sleep in.

"No! Sister, get up quickly. We are going back to our hometown today. Have you forgotten?"

"Didn't we say afternoon?" I buried my head completely in the quilt because my nose was a little cold outside.

"My aunt said that we won't be able to make it in the afternoon, so we'll leave at noon."

"Get up quickly!"

"No, sleep a little longer."

"Humph!"

"Ah!!!" I screamed. The girl reached her cold hands into the quilt and slapped my back with one claw. "I'm going to die! Xiaoling, let go!"

"Sister actually sleeps naked."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Half an hour later, I walked down the stairs with a red face.

"Ah, the eldest lady has finally come out of the boudoir." My aunt looked at me and said teasingly.

"Why do we have to leave so early?" I yawned and stretched, feeling that I didn't get enough sleep.

"Because we have to go back to our hometown to clean the house this year, we won't go back during the New Year." My aunt came over and touched my head.

"Yeah." When I thought of that home, I felt a little sad. In an instant, the box of dusty past slowly opened. The old things and things were displayed one by one, as if it was just a day ago.

"Mom~" I threw myself into my mother's arms and acted coquettishly to my heart's content.

"You're so old now, but you're still acting like a spoiled child with your mother?" My mother's face was a little blurry, and I tried to see her face clearly.

"Let's go wash clothes with mom?"

"Good~"

My mother took my hand and walked towards the river outside the village.

After the rain, the water was picturesque and the smoke was curling. The stream outside the village twisted through the mountain stream, and people were washing clothes on the pier. My mother and I chose a relatively empty spot and took out the clothes from the bucket one by one.

"Mom, can we just put the clothes on the stone slabs?" I couldn't help asking as I looked at the stone slabs at the pier which were a little wet and looked dirty.

"These are dirty clothes. It's okay if they're a little dirty. Once they're clean, just put them in the bucket and take them home." Xiaoxiao said as she picked up a piece of clothing, dipped it into the river water to wet it, and started washing clothes.

"What are you doing?" After washing a piece of clothes, my mother looked at me and laughed.

"If I hold the clothes, they won't touch the ground and won't get dirty." We both held the clothes in our hands to avoid dropping them on the ground.

"Silly child." The mother quickly brought all the clothes over. "If they get dirty, just wash them and they'll be fine. If you feel bored, mom will take you to catch crabs."

"Crab?" I tilted my head and looked at her, "Are these edible crabs?"

"Yes!"

As she said that, my mother took my hand and jumped into the stream. The water was not deep for my mother, the water line just reached her calves, but for me it was already above my knees. Although the current was not fast, it was difficult for me to move forward. I couldn't help but tighten my mother's hand, fearing that if she let go, I would be washed away by the stream.
