"Meat, the most expensive meat..." Xia Xinyu looked at the tall Chen Yuan and asked, "You don't need to grow any more, right?"

"Do you want to use technology and make synthetic meat?"

"That's too unhealthy." Xia Xinyu shook her head and said wisely, like a diet doctor, "Buy frozen chicken breasts and add breadcrumbs to make fried chicken fillets. A portion only costs about ten yuan, which can satisfy a meat and vegetable meal. After 8:45 p.m., the supermarket's discounted pork belly is only eight yuan per pound, and you can make dry-fried pork belly. Frozen chicken feet can be made into lemon boneless chicken feet, and fifteen yuan can solve a meal. On Saturday, we have more time, so I'll stew a crucian carp for us..."

"Is this enough money?" Chen Yuan asked nervously.

"When will you send me the living allowance?"

"Number twenty-three."

"That's no problem."

Xia Xinyu answered decisively, then clenched her hands as if she was holding something, and said with a bright smile: "On weekend nights, I can even have two ice cream cones."

"..."

One hundred and sixty yuan may not be enough to open an Internet cafe in Tuba.

But one hundred and sixty yuan can even set up a table for Xia Xinyu.

Such a perfect woman, which bad boy will get her after so many years?

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the food?" Xia Xinyu saw that Chen Yuan was a little dazed and asked in confusion.

"You still have to go to school and prepare dinner and breakfast every day. Is it enough?"

"Don't worry about that. We have to persevere in these difficult times." Facing the short-term setback, Xia Xinyu said cheerfully, "When your living allowance is paid next week, I will go back to my hometown... Then, we won't have to be so tight on money. But, I'm a little sorry..."

"Why are you embarrassed?"

"I only provided you with breakfast and dinner, but for lunch..." Xia Xinyu said apologetically, "I only gave you 8 yuan per meal, a total of 40 yuan, not counting the cost of drinks."

"That's all? It's okay. The school's eight-yuan meal also has two dishes and a soup. I'll get the drinks at school."

"Can you still accept drinks at your school?"

"Well, I brought my own cup, and I'll ask Zhou Yu to take it."

"Your pronunciation is not standard, it should be called '劫', right?" Xia Xinyu complained.

Drink, and gradually discover Xia Xinyu's sense of humor.

"What about your lunch?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I eat with my aunt at noon. In the teacher's cafeteria of No. Middle School, each staff can bring a child..." Talking about this, Xia Xinyu said with a little embarrassment, "I am that child , I will eat with my aunt tomorrow without spending any money."

Although her aunt often wanted to give her living expenses, and she would not be so tight on money as long as she asked, she still had her own life after all, with her uncle and cousin.

As an orphan, she will have a lot of trouble in the future.

Therefore, you have to overcome those troubles that you can try to avoid.

Family ties that need to be maintained by support will always have cracks.

It was precisely because I loved my aunt and didn't want her to have an impatient quarrel with my uncle one night because of me.

The only person who can cause trouble now is Chen Yuan.

If he were in a relationship, with someone who would get impatient and quarrel with him one day because of his existence...

Out of self-respect, she doesn't want to be a nuisance.

"That's good. It's a free spot in the cafeteria. Why not use it?" Chen Yuan answered naturally. He didn't think it was shameful for the other party to eat with his aunt.

And after listening to her voice, he had only one thought.

Why is this child so worried?

Is it troublesome or not?

If the gears of fate don't keep turning.

How could I, Chen Yuan, have the ability to eat the pussy of a 17-year-old high school girl?

"That's still a penny less."

Putting on his backpack, Chen Yuan said casually as he walked towards the bus stop with Xia Xinyu.

"Eh? Are there any other expenses?"

"To school, there are more than a dozen stops."

"..."

After being reminded, Xia Xinyu suddenly reacted and froze in place, frowning and looking sad: "Ahhh... the only snack, boneless lemon chicken feet, is gone? No, then there is no hope for this week, right? Otherwise... why don't you go find Zhou Yujie for some more?"

Chapter 23 On the bus, with classmates

After getting on the bus, Xia Xinyu and Chen Yuan chose a pair of window seats in the back row.

After Xia Xinyu sat down, she took out her English book and recited silently without making any sound.

Chen Yuan, who was standing by, plugged his earphones into his mobile phone as soon as he got in the car and closed his eyes to listen to music.

"What are you listening to?" Xia Xinyu asked curiously.

Although there are not as many people on the bus as on the subway, there are dozens of people in the same space, and basically no less than two people will speak their minds at the same time. When there are many people, you can even talk at the same time, as if you are holding a Tencent Cloud meeting in your own head, chattering non-stop.

Only by wearing headphones and turning up the volume of the song as loud as possible could he feel a little more at ease.

"Listening to English songs and memorizing words." Chen Yuan answered calmly without opening his eyes.

"Oh……"

Looking sideways at Chen Yuan and trying hard to listen to the subtle sound coming out of the headphones, Xia Xinyu did not hear any English lyrics.

'Cause I got a crush on you who you...'

No, there are still English lyrics.

He looked so tired, probably because he stayed up late last night. And the reason for staying up late last night should have nothing to do with studying... No, that's too arbitrary, it should be said that it has little to do with it.

If I had his transcript, I would know how to give him special remedial lessons.

By the way, I heard from the head teacher last time that his English is too poor and needs to be improved.

For things like English, language talent is certainly important, but it is for those who want to make more improvements and breakthroughs.

As for the language environment, for example, Chen Yuan, who is already a high school student, has no way of achieving the same good oral English skills as the students in Xiahai City.

Chen Yuan, like himself, was from a different place and came from a not-so-good junior high school. Of course, the not-so-good here does not refer to "exam-taking" but "quality".

Although Xia Xinyu's English scores are stable at around 130, she actually never received any remedial classes in junior high school, attended an ordinary public elementary school, and did not have bilingual education in kindergarten. She was able to achieve this score thanks to one thing - the hard work of a small town test-taker.

Because Xia Xinyu is a test-taker in the small town, she has a powerful plan to improve Chen Yuan's score.

When Chen Yuan closed his eyes and listened to the song, Xia Xinyu suddenly took his phone away, which startled him. He opened his eyes in confusion: "Huh?"

Xia Xinyu didn't say anything. She first unlocked the phone screen in front of Chen Yuan's face, and then continued to operate on the phone.

After a while, Chen Yuan heard the "High School English Vocabulary Audio" with clear pronunciation and moderate speaking speed, which had spelling and definitions.

No, what are you doing?

"You can't remember English words by singing English songs, so just remember the vocabulary for the exam." Xia Xinyu put Chen Yuan's phone back into his pocket and explained without any guilt.

Who listens to English words early in the morning...

Chen Yuan was resistant in his heart, because the feeling of having this kind of knowledge poured into his brain was terrible. The guards guarding his eardrums reported it to him - reporting to the brain, the person coming is not friendly, should he be expelled?

Forget it, forget it, these are recommended by an acquaintance, so let them in.

In fact, Chen Yuan himself understood that even if his Chinese language skills were improved by ten points, it would not be as great an improvement as passing the English test.

The scores in the college entrance examination are not divided by subjects. One point is one point, and there is no high or low.

The reason why he is so resistant to English is that he is not good at it.

Here we have to talk about the bad habits that are common among poor students - they like to study hard in the subjects they are good at, and are satisfied with just a few points improvement.

In fact, this is a form of escape.

When he first came to No. 11 Middle School as a day student, Chen Yuan discovered that anyone with a local Xiahai household registration who was able to be admitted to No. 11 Middle School had excellent English skills. Some of them even spoke English as well as native English speakers, with standard and fluent English. In the past, they would have been considered translators.

Chen Yuan's family conditions are not bad. They are an ordinary working-class family in a county town. He attended many cram schools in the third year of junior high school, including English. However, he is different from the students with Xiahai household registration here who have integrated English into almost their daily lives.

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all.

Over time, I neglected my weakness in English and began to feel disgusted with it.

But this is obviously an excuse.

Xia Xinyu standing next to him was in even worse condition than himself.

But she will integrate doing exercises into her life.

The chance of a child from a poor family becoming a noble one is very small, but there will always be such an example.

Xia Xinyu, who was standing aside, was still memorizing words with great concentration.

In youth campus TV dramas and novels, when the male and female protagonists sit next to each other on the bus, they both listen to music with one headset...

All I can say is that even with super powers, Chen Yuan's life is still realistic.

"We are almost at Jiangning Road. Please prepare if you are getting off. Next stop is Xuefu Road."

After the bus announcement, Xia Xinyu put the book into her schoolbag.

At this time, the train arrived at the station.

Not many people got off the bus, and a small group of people got on.

Among this small group of people, there is another large group of people. Hiss...isn't this Zhou Fu?

Chen Yuan saw the girl wearing the uniform of No. 11 Middle School at a glance, and because she was walking towards the middle, she saw him and Xia Xinyu.

[It’s that girl again…]

[The two of them went to school together. ]

The girl's depressed voice made Chen Yuan feel a little embarrassed.

There's nothing you can do about some things.
