Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 11 Letter

Thanks to the country and the party, even in the countryside, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing.

Xia Xiaohe originally planned to cook only for herself and her brother, so she only peeled two potatoes and some bacon, but because Ye Ling and Li Xu joined the group temporarily, she cut two more sausages and asked her brother to pick cabbage and onions from the family garden.

Under Li Xu's operation, these ingredients were transformed into a plate of bacon and potato slices, stir-fried cabbage, and steamed sausages.

When the dishes were served, Ye Ling looked at them with suspicion.

After a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "When did you learn to cook?"

Li Xu said solemnly, "Cousin, you still don't understand me very well."

Then Ye Ling hit him on the head with a chopstick.

After lunch, the weather outside cleared up.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sun came out, and the sunlight sprinkled on the earth. The accumulated water slid down from the eaves, dripping onto the ground, splashing water.

Xia Xiaohe cleared the dishes and prepared to wash them. Ye Ling kicked Li Xu and said, "Go and help too!"

Xia Xiaohe quickly said, "No, no, really no... You've already helped me cook, so please don't wash this bowl for me."

Li Xu said, "See, cousin, it's not that I don't want to."

With nothing to do at the moment, Li Xu noticed Xia Xiaomiao doing homework in the corner of the main room.

Just now when we were eating, Xia Xiaomiao was eating rice silently. After finishing the meal, he ran to do his homework in a depressed mood.

Li Xu walked up to him, took a look, and was indeed a little surprised.

I saw Xia Xiaomiao reading a sixth-grade math book.

But Xia Xiaomiao looks like she's only in the third or fourth grade.

Li Xu asked, "How old are you?"

Xia Xiaomiao raised her head and said, "I'm nine years old!"

"You are nine years old. What grade are you in?"

“I’m in fourth grade!”

Li Xu was silent for a moment, then pointed at the textbook and said, "Can you understand this book?"

Xia Xiaomiao nodded: "Yeah!"

The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched slightly. He moved closer and took a look at the content. Fortunately, he still knew some of the things he learned in elementary school, so he casually asked Xia Xiaomiao a few questions.

As expected, Xia Xiaomiao could answer them all.

Ye Ling, who was watching this scene not far away, burst into laughter and said proudly, "Didn't I tell you? Xiaohe's brother is a very talented child, the kind rarely seen in the city!"

Li Xu was greatly surprised and marveled at it, and then he began to understand his cousin's mentality.

No wonder my cousin later felt sorry for the fact that they were siblings.

Xia Xiaohe later gave up his studies when he was in his second or third year of high school. It was because Xia Xiaomiao was too smart that he went to study in the county town when he was in junior high school. Naturally, the expenses were much higher than studying in the countryside.

At this time, Xia Xiaohe was washing dishes and said with a smile: "My brother's grades are much better than mine back then. In the future, we can both get into a good university."

Hearing this, Li Xu felt a little emotional... If the trajectory of life does not change, this beautiful expectation will eventually turn into nothing.

Li Xu shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and suddenly thought of something. He said to Xia Xiaohe, "By the way, you still have your first and second grade textbooks, right?"

Xia Xiaohe had almost finished washing the dishes by this time. She wiped her hands on her apron, nodded, and said, "Yeah, I'm still keeping some!"

Li Xu asked this because he naturally wanted to borrow it to review the knowledge he learned in the first and second year of junior high school.

After thinking for a while, Li Xu continued to ask: "Oh, by the way, and those letters you mentioned last time..."

"A letter?" Xia Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, then remembered. Her eyes brightened and she nodded. "Wait a moment. I'll take you there once I've cleaned up the place."

Xia Xiaohe cleaned the main room very carefully. She didn't just wash the dishes and call it a day. She also cleaned the cooking area, the dining table, and the debris on the floor. After finishing everything, Xia Xiaohe walked up to Li Xu and said, "Come with me."

Ye Ling could only sit there and watch the two of them leave, her expression becoming increasingly complicated.

Li Xu followed Xia Xiaohe out of the main room, across the yard and to the side room, her room.

She didn't hesitate to bring Li Xu to her room.

There was a light woody scent in the room, which was very pleasant, the unique smell of a country home. The room was very simple, with only a bed, a desk, and a small wardrobe in the corner.

Xia Xiaohe asked quietly, "Can everything be sent over?"

Li Xu nodded without thinking: "Of course!"

Then Li Xu regretted it.

Xia Xiaohe dug out an iron box from under his desk, which looked like it was used to store mooncakes.

Xia Xiaohe opened the iron box and found it was full of letters. At a glance, there were hundreds of them.

Li Xu's expression suddenly froze.

Xia Xiaohe placed the tin box on the table with great care and whispered, "The teacher's surname was Jiang. She came to teach at our elementary school when I was in fourth grade. I loved her very much and wrote her many letters starting in fourth grade. At that time, I didn't know what an email address was, and I didn't know how to send it to her..."

Then she raised her head and looked at Li Xu expectantly.

That clear gaze immediately made Li Xu unable to say a word of refusal.

"Don't worry, there's no problem at all." Li Xu sighed softly in his heart. With so many letters, he didn't know how long it would take to knock on the door...

But Xia Xiaohe's expectant eyes made people feel a little distressed. There was no other way, they could only bite the bullet and do it. Who made him agree to it?

Xia Xiaohe received a positive answer, and immediately a happy smile appeared on her face from the bottom of her heart. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said seriously: "Thank you, thank you Li Xu..."

Then she suddenly lowered her head again and whispered, "You, you seem different from the rumors..."

Li Xu blinked and asked subconsciously: "In the rumors?"

Xia Xiaohe suddenly showed a panic expression, and quickly shook her head and said: "No, nothing..."

But under Li Xu's serious gaze, she still gave in and stammered, "It was the first week you arrived at our school. In the class next door... you were smoking and saying some really mean things... Everyone thought you were a... a proud boy."

It was also difficult for Xia Xiaohe. She thought for a long time before coming up with a word that could barely be considered neutral, "pride".

Li Xu smiled dumbly and said nonchalantly, "You mean arrogant?"

"Uh……"

Li Xu shook his head and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I don't care what others think. By the way, please help me find a book."

Xia Xiaohe nodded, then rummaged through the cardboard box under the desk and found the textbooks for the three subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English according to Li Xu's requirements.

It can be seen that Xia Xiaohe takes great care of her textbooks. Although these books are covered with densely packed notes, the paper is very neat and smooth.

The handwriting on it is neat and looks very cute.

Li Xu flipped through it casually, then smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said seriously, "I should be the one thanking you."

After eating, I got what I wanted, but it would not be a good idea to leave immediately, so I sat in the yard for a while.

Mainly, Ye Ling wanted to chat with Xia Xiaohe to find out whether this top student in her class had any difficulties in life and study recently.

Li Xu was reading the first-year junior high school math book.

The mathematics knowledge for the first grade of junior high school was not difficult. Li Xu seemed to have awakened his forgotten memories. He nodded repeatedly as he read.

Just then, Xia Xiaomiao came over with a fierce look.
