Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 9 Going to Her House

After a few days of intensive English study, although the rest of the time is still tight and fulfilling, it is a bit more relaxed in comparison.

After all, it is a township, and after all, it is a junior high school. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the key high schools in big cities.

Moreover, the lives of students in this era are not as involuted as those of high school students before his rebirth.

If you can pass the exam, then take it. If you can’t, forget it. The economic situation is thriving, and everyone has an expectation. Even if your grades are not good, you just feel that tomorrow will be better.

Therefore, people of this era rarely see that kind of inexplicable anxiety.

This is my first weekend in Xieyang Township after my rebirth.

Sadly, it rained on Saturday.

He wanted to drop out of school after two months of his first year of high school, and it was already October.

He gets up in the morning and recites words without fail. This is the most reassuring thing for him at the moment.

Although it was raining outside, it did not affect him at all.

His cousin Ye Ling went out after breakfast, so he stayed at home alone to memorize words until almost noon.

The major goal of study has been determined, but that goal is still very far away, as it is a matter of the college entrance examination or even university. How to turn this goal into reality is an urgent issue that needs to be considered now.

The most recent one is how to improve the grades in each subject.

I dropped out of school early in my previous life, so I don’t have much experience in studying, so I can only analyze it bit by bit.

You don't need to speak English much, just memorize it.

There are actually not too many problems with Chinese. For any Chinese person, this course is a course with a low upper limit and a high lower limit. There is not much point in spending a lot of energy on it.

Mathematics is still important.

Regardless of whether you choose liberal arts or science in high school, mathematics can be said to be the core key that determines whether you will be a top student or a poor student.

I don’t have a clear idea on how to learn mathematics well at the moment. I do have a few mathematics textbooks, but they are all for the third year of junior high school.

With his foundation, he wouldn't be able to come up with anything even if he just studied a junior high school textbook.

In fact, the best and most effective way is to ask your father to take you home and find a good tutor to give you proper lessons.

Of course, there is no need to be so eager for quick success right now.

At this time, he had forgotten a lot of the words he had memorized before. He sighed slightly, closed the English book, walked to the balcony and looked down.

The autumn rain fell softly.

The old stone road was hit by raindrops, making a dripping sound. The tiles on the roofs of the slightly mottled tile houses on the side of the road looked even more quaint in the rain. The rain fell in strings along the eaves, hitting the small puddle in front of the house, creating circles of ripples.

Just as I was in a daze, footsteps were heard at the stairs.

Li Xu looked up and saw his cousin Ye Ling walking up wearing a raincoat and carrying a plastic bag.

Seeing that Li Xu looked lifeless, Ye Ling sighed helplessly and walked over to him, throwing the plastic bag in her hand to him and said, "It's the weekend today, put this on and let's go out for a walk."

Li Xu opened the plastic bag and saw a raincoat and rain boots inside.

"Uh...it's raining, do you want to go out?" Li Xu was a little surprised.

Ye Ling frowned, put her hands on her hips, and said unhappily, "Why have you suddenly become so lifeless? Give me some energy, stop talking nonsense, and change quickly."

"But the words..."

"A single fart word..."

"what?"

"Come on, stop talking nonsense."

A few minutes later, Li Xu, wearing a raincoat and rain boots, followed Ye Ling out.

In the distance, rolling hills loomed in the rain and fog. Walking slowly along the stone path, Li Xu glanced at his cousin in front of him with some surprise.

It can be seen that although it was raining, my cousin was in a good mood and even hummed a little tune.

He couldn't help but be affected by this emotion.

In the distant fields, most of the rice has been harvested, and the remaining rice stubble is silent in the rain, along with the continuous autumn rain.

Li Xu asked, "Cousin, where are we going?"

Ye Ling put her hand to her lips, a pensive expression on her face, and murmured, "Originally, I didn't have a destination, but now that you mention it, well... how about this, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where to go?"

"Xia Xiaohe's home."

"Ok?"

Ye Ling turned to look at Li Xu and said seriously, "Young master, you are so out of touch with the world. Let me take you to see how the people on this land live."

Li Xu snorted: "If you say that to me again, I won't go."

Ye Ling laughed heartily: "You're still angry, are you feeling wronged?"

Led by Ye Ling, the two walked towards the neighboring village.

"You only need to walk a few hundred meters to get to school, but Xia Xiaohe has to walk two or three kilometers every day to go to school."

"But honestly, you haven't left the village since you got here, right? Today is a good time to take you for a walk along the mountain roads."

At the foot of the mountain, the fields had been mostly harvested, leaving only uneven rice stubble standing quietly in the rain. The winding paths between the ridges became even more muddy after being wetted by the rain. Fortunately, I was wearing rain boots, so it was not difficult to walk.

Walking on this road, Li Xu began to think about the scene of Xia Xiaohe walking to school every day.

Soon, houses began to appear in front.

As we walked into the village, several old tiled houses appeared in front of us. The paint on the walls had peeled off a lot. An old man sat on a wooden bench with some paint peeling off, leaning against the half-open wooden door, quietly watching the rain.

The two walked towards the inside of the village for a while, and a house appeared in front of them. Ye Ling pointed and said, "That's Xia Xiaohe's home."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Xia Xiaohe is not only a good student, she also has a younger brother who is also very smart... and he is very down-to-earth and studious." Then she stopped talking and looked at Li Xu meaningfully.

Li Xu said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you looking at me like that? I am also very smart and studious."

Ye Ling shook her head. "If you meet Xia Xiaohe's brother, you'll understand what intelligence is."

In the small courtyard in front of the house, the wooden door was half-open, the door hinges were rusty, and it creaked when opening and closing. The mud ground in the courtyard was bumpy and water had accumulated into a pool. Under a low shed on one side, there was a pile of dry firewood, half wet from the rain.

Then Li Xu saw a chubby-looking little boy of eight or nine years old running out from inside. He ran to the firewood and fell down.

Li Xu glanced at his cousin with a gloating look on his face: "Is this the clever kid?"

Ye Ling said angrily, "Isn't it just a fall? What does that mean?"

Li Xu walked forward proudly, saying as he walked: "This shows..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Xu slipped and sat down on the ground.

Li Xu originally planned to go over and tease the little boy, but he didn't expect to do him such a big favor.

When he turned his head, he saw that his cousin had an even more gloating expression on her face and was laughing non-stop.

When the little boy heard Li Xu's movement, he immediately turned his head and looked over. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly put down the firewood he was about to hold and ran home.

And then... he fell again.

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and then she sighed.
