79. Narrow road

When I came home from school that day, my grandma came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Qingqing is home! Wash your hands and eat." As she spoke, she was busy serving out the prepared dishes.

Meng Qingqing didn't see Mama Zhang, and asked strangely, "Grandma, where is Mama Zhang?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, so I asked her to go back. I'm fine now, and I can do everything. I've been idle for the past few months, and I'm going to have problems if I don't have any problems." Grandma explained.

"Grandma..." Meng Qingqing didn't know what to say. Grandma couldn't stay idle for a long time and did everything at home. She had already mentioned several times that she wanted to quit Mama Zhang, but Meng Qingqing disagreed. This time she knew she would not agree, so she resigned Mama Zhang on her own initiative.

"Come on, it's time to eat!" Grandma greeted Meng Qingqing who was in a daze.

Meng Qingqing and Meng Zijun sat at the dining table, "Grandma, we agreed to quit Mama Zhang in half a year, and now it's only three months!"

"Qingqing, it's okay. I'll watch at home. Your grandma won't be too tired. For a person like her who is used to hard work, being idle like this is a pain rather than a blessing for her." Meng Zijun said.

Grandma also echoed, "Yes, yes, I am a hard worker. I have something to do every day, but I feel more comfortable. The doctor also said that I can say that I have fully recovered in three months. Don't worry, it is just doing it at home. It's just small things like food and housework. It won't tire me."

Things have been like this, Meng Qingqing has nothing to say, she knows that grandma's body is fine to do a little housework, but she thinks of her previous life, grandma left after the Spring Festival, what will happen in this life? There is still more than a month before the Spring Festival. I don't know if this month will pass without incident.

Meng Qingqing ate in silence.

Meng Zijun picked up a chopstick dish for his daughter, "Qingqing, today I went to see Lao Yu, who I met when I was hospitalized. We talked at his house all afternoon."

"Old Yu, isn't that your patient friend who introduced me to Uncle Yu who entered No. 3 Middle School! He had a kidney transplant operation before you. How is he recovering? Very good, right?"

"Okay, now it's alive and well."

"By the way. Dad, I think you two hit it off very well, and you are people who have experienced life and death. You must have a lot of common topics. If you are bored, you can talk to him more."

Meng Zijun said with a smile: "Yes! Lao Yu and I had a very pleasant conversation, and we want to invest in something together..."

Meng Qingqing resolutely opposed it,

"Dad, no, you can't do anything within a year. Your task is to take care of your health. Anyway, the family's rent is enough to maintain our life now. You don't need to be busy making money and working hard." There were more than 700,000 yuan left, and the monthly rent was almost 10,000 yuan. After her father was discharged from the hospital, Meng Qingqing returned the money to her father for management, but Meng Qingqing knew that these were enough for the family and her father's medical expenses.

"We are just discussing the plan now, and the specific operation will not be done until after the Spring Festival. At that time, my body should have no problems." Meng Zijun explained.

It's almost the final exam. The students are all nervous. Students in ordinary schools, students who study well will face every exam seriously. There are also some students who are happy with the situation and are not very concerned about the exams. Therefore, the competition and pressure of students in ordinary schools are not as competitive and stressful as those in elite classes in prestigious schools. The students in the top class of prestigious schools were all top-notch students in elementary school, but when they came here, the competition was fierce. There is too much pressure, and in this atmosphere, the pressure doubles virtually.

In such an environment, Meng Qingqing could not help being infected by such an atmosphere. In particular, she has become an excellent student in the eyes of teachers and classmates, so she has to work hard to maintain the image of this excellent student.

And this final exam is not just an ordinary exam competition, it is also used as an assessment of whether they can stay in the top class. The competition in the top class is not only fierce but also cruel, and it follows the method of survival of the fittest. Every semester, a few people are eliminated to the ordinary class, and those in the ordinary class also have the opportunity to compete to enter the top class. It is an honor to compete from the ordinary class to the top class, but it is a loss and shame to be eliminated from the top class to the ordinary class.

Therefore, invisibly, the pressure of the top class increased, and everyone consciously devoted themselves to studying hard.

Ling Yunlu's results in the previous exams were not satisfactory, and now that the final exam is approaching, she feels even more nervous. Seeing Meng Qingqing's calm and determined look, she feels even more jealous and hateful, and wants to find a way to make it out. Something happened that affected Meng Qingqing's emotions before the exam, which affected her performance in the exam. But she didn't dare to provoke her directly and publicly, because Ling Yunfeng stood up for Meng Qingqing all the time, and no one dared to do anything to Meng Qingqing. Before Ling Yunlu used to gossip behind her back to hurt her secretly, not only did she end up in a mess at school and at home, but also did not cause any harm to Meng Qingqing in the end.

That day during recess, Meng Qingqing and Ling Yunlu met in the bathroom. Meng Qingqing was about to go out, and Ling Yunlu was about to enter the bathroom. The two met at the door.

When Meng Qingqing encountered such a situation before, she would let Ling Yunlu go first, but today she was thinking about things and didn't notice who the person opposite was, so the two bumped into each other.

"Meng Qingqing, are you blind? Why are you blocking my way?"

"Ling Yunlu, did you make a mistake? Is this the road to your house? Don't look for trouble."

"I'm just looking for trouble, what's the matter? Do you think you'll get carried away with that white-eyed wolf like Ling Yunfeng backing you up? You don't know the shame, you keep saying that Ling Yunfeng is your brother, and you pretend to be a tiger in such a name. You're just kidding." Take a picture of yourself, are you Ling Yunfeng's younger sister? Can you afford such a brother?"

Meng Qingqing said with a smile: "Of course I have such a brother. Although he is not my sister, he treats me like a sister. You and him are sisters, but he doesn't even look at you. You just call him brother." , not only will he not agree to you, but he also dislikes your "brother" for polluting his ears!"

Ling Yunlu was in a hurry, Meng Qingqing said it to the point, the fact is that, since Ling Yunfeng was eight years old, he has not regarded Ling Yunlu as his sister, Ling Yunlu called him "brother", he also refused. She was treated as a stranger outside, so she didn't dare to make fun of herself by saying that she had such a brother in front of her classmates.

There are many classmates in the bathroom, everyone doesn't know what's going on, they are very confused, why Meng Qingqing's brother is not his real brother, but Ling Yunlu's real brother doesn't recognize her as a younger sister, what is going on?

So a few girls directly said, "Ling Yunlu's own brother doesn't recognize Ling Yunlu as his sister, but wants to recognize Meng Qingqing, an outsider, as his sister. What's going on?" (To be continued.)
