# The Best Actor Talks About the Recent Snow Canna Congratulations #

# Husband and wife team monopolizes best actress #

# Lu Ling won the award and expressed her love for her boyfriend #

The man who hurriedly stepped down the escalator locked his phone screen and strode towards the black car waiting at the airport.

The awards ceremony shouldn't be over yet.

There was still a hint of chill in the Canna night. Zongzi wore a black woolen coat, replaced the driver, and drove outside the award ceremony venue. The car turned off and he sat in the car and smoked a cigarette.

Twenty minutes later, the person he was waiting for came out.

On the red carpet, Tan Jinxue held Lu Ling's arm, with a smile on her face, and the spotlights flashed back and forth.

"Congratulations, you two." Zong Zi stood beside the car and said to Tan Jinxue and Lu Ling.

Tan Jinxue smiled: "Thank you."

Zongzi said again: "I'll take you back to the hotel."

Tan Jinxue raised her eyebrows, "Does Mr. Zong also want to attend our celebration party?"

Zong Zi smiled and asked, "Why, you two are not welcome?"

Tan Jinxue glanced at Lu Ling and said calmly: "Of course not. Then I'll trouble Mr. Zong."

After all, Zong Zi was still Lu Ling's boss, so he had to give him face.

Tan Jinxue and Lu Ling took Zong Zi's car back to the hotel. The bar on the second floor of the hotel had been decorated, and golden balloons were combined into a huge trophy shape, which was very grandiose.

This time "Du Yunshuang" hit the big time, Zhan Hanqiu and almost everyone from the crew were present. Important members of Tan Jinxue's studio and Lu Ling's agent also stayed at the same hotel. As soon as the news came out, the hotel was filled with their cheers. Regardless of whether there were any differences or conflicts before, at least everyone is in the same mood at this moment.

The atmosphere was warm and jubilant.

Tan Jinxue pulled Lu Ling behind her and said to Zong Zi, "Mr. Zong, please." She politely made way for Zong Zi.

The man glanced at her and pushed open the bar door.

"Surprise!"

Amid the shouts of the crowd, the president of Xingchen Entertainment who pushed in the door was sprayed with colorful stripes all over his body and head.

Xue An, who took the lead in pointing the colorful spray bucket at the visitor, smiled sarcastically, and his brain was running rapidly thinking of excuses. Then he saw Zong Zi raising his hand to lift an orange ribbon hanging from his head. There was no anger on his face, but He turned to the person behind him and said, "Okay, come in."

Tan Jinxue held Lu Ling's arm, and then Shi Shiran walked in.

When Lu Ling saw Zong Zi's appearance, she couldn't help laughing. She let out a "chi" and laughed. She had always been a bit awkward with Zong Zi, probably out of dislike for each other, but today she didn't feel that this person was as intimidating and difficult to approach as before.

Her smile broke the suddenly solidified atmosphere. Zhan Hanqiu laughed and rushed forward, holding a spray bucket and "opening fire" at Tan Jinxue and Lu Ling.

Tan Jinxue moved extremely quickly, stretched out her arms, and picked up Lu Ling by the waist. She moved around in the somewhat narrow bar, quickly dodging Zhan Hanqiu's attack.

Lu Ling was caught off guard and fell into Tan Jinxue's arms. The lights in front of her eyes were spinning, but she could see the cunning smile in Tan Jinxue's dark eyes. She laughed loudly.

Zongzi was wearing colorful stripes, and his black suit had already been dyed with colorful dyes, but the expression on his face became softer and softer.

He looked at Tan Jinxue, who was holding Lu Ling and spinning around in the middle of the bar's dance floor, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.

The celebration party lasted until Lu Ling got drunk. She pulled Tan Jinxue to cry and laugh, and even tried to soak the lighter on the bar into the wine to have a "deep water blow".

Years of wishing come true once, and the joys and sorrows involved cannot be digested without getting drunk.

"I'm a movie queen...Axue, I'm a movie queen..." Lu Ling was still mumbling as Tan Jinxue carried her back to the room.

Tears oozed out from under her closed eyes and slowly slid down.

Tan Jinxue coaxed her warmly and finally placed her on the bed.

She glanced at her watch. 23:30.

Lu Ling turned over and fell asleep under the influence of alcohol. The face without makeup looks a bit innocent like a child's.

Tan Jinxue gently tucked her in.

"Want to rest?"

Zongzi stood at the door of the room and asked.

Tan Jinxue glanced at him and said, "I can't sleep after drinking. Why don't you go to bed, Mr. Zong?"

Zong Zi smiled and said, "You did drink a lot. Do you want something to eat?" He added, "I'll treat you to a supper." He looked at Tan Jinxue, "You refused before, but I Want to try again.”

Tan Jinxue was startled.

After Zongzi discovered her gender and became interested in her beyond rivals and enemies, their relationship seemed to be more than just a love rival. Tan Jinxue took advantage of this in order to successfully make Zong Zi look away from Lu Ling.

As conceited as Zongzi, how could he not like an illusion that Tan Jinxue carefully described? He also had brief doubts, but that didn't matter anymore.

Tan Jinxue looked at Zong Zi for two seconds, nodded and said, "I don't have much time."

Zong Zi stood up immediately with a real smile on his face, "Then don't waste it."

Tan Jinxue had never seen him so happy.

She followed Zongzi through the corridor of the hotel, and at the end was the open restaurant. The layout is very small, with only a small round table with a dim warm orange light, and an empty sink next to it.

Tan Jinxue pulled up her chair and sat down at the table, saying, "At this time, all the chefs in the hotel should be taking a break."

Zongzi took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair, then walked into the open kitchen, "It's just the two of us, isn't it good?"

Tan Jinxue blinked and said, "Cooking in person. It seems that Mr. Zong is very sincere."

She looked down at her watch. 23:59

Zongzi laughed softly, "Of course." He whispered: "I want to formally pursue you."

There will never be another Tan Jinxue in this world who can capture all of his attention. Zongzi has always been a rational and objective person. After weighing the pros and cons, he believed that Tan Jinxue was worth all the costs.

He poured the egg liquid into the pot and stir-fried carefully to ensure that every rice grain was covered with golden and fragrant eggs.

"Zongzi."

Tan Jinxue said suddenly.

The man was busy pouring the egg-fried rice into a fine white porcelain plate with gold accents, and said "hmm".

"I reject."

Zongzi raised his head, "I will do it for you -"

All the promises he had imagined died in his throat.

There was only dim, warm orange light in front of him. The napkins had been spread out on the wooden round table, and the cutlery was placed neatly beside it.

The egg fried rice smells delicious.

Empty.

[Congratulations to operator 8399 for leaving the world \u0026lt;President’s Canary\u0026gt;]

A sea of ​​stars.

Countless support lights merged into one, like colorful stars in the darkness.

A figure slowly rose from the main stage.

Her voice is more beautiful than a canary's.

The first woman to win Best Actress at Cannes once again exceeded everyone's imagination of her talent and abilities. Three consecutive singles, all of which have reached the top 5 of the independent music charts.

This was her first concert, and the venue of 70,000 people was packed.

She ended with an ethereal coda and then bowed to the audience.

"The last song is sung to one person."

She smiled, and the sequins at the end of her eyes flickered, like a teardrop in a trance.

The audience was silent. Everyone knows who this song is for. The internationally renowned Cannes Best Actress, the first Chinese actress to win three international film festival trophies, is known as the "Fantasy" with her peerless singing voice. Three years ago, she was an unknown 18th-tier porn star, and she was constantly exposed Scandals and scandals are not enough to stir up any excitement.

Later she met Tan Jinxue, and she was never the same again.

The relationship between these two people is still a legend in the entertainment industry.

Three years ago, the actor suddenly disappeared from the world. Even the police opened a case to investigate, but in the end found nothing. No one knows where he went.

She waited for Tan Jinxue for three years, and every year she went to the beach in Cana for vacation, holding on to the faint hope that she would meet him.

She terminated her contract with Xingchen Entertainment, and everyone knew that the relationship between actress Lu Ling and her former boss Zong Zi was so bad that it reached freezing point.

On the day Tan Jinxue disappeared, Lu Ling saw the man's expression and realized that he probably had ulterior feelings for the person she loved.

The police closed the case and the person who had been missing for too long was presumed dead.

After a long time, Zongzi contacted Lu Ling again, and he gave her a song.

A thin page of paper with familiar handwriting. The first second she took it into her hand, Lu Ling knew that this was written by Tan Jinxue for herself. She glared at Zongzi fiercely.

She has become stronger and more mature, and she is not afraid of him.

Zongzi just said: "This is her birthday gift to you. I keep it because my conscience is uneasy." He said: "Go ahead and sing."

Finally, in a tone that Lu Ling had never heard before, he begged her: "Can I go and listen?"

Lu Ling wanted to refuse. At her concert, she can indeed reject someone. But she still agreed by mistake.

Lu Ling took a deep breath and started singing.

The voice of the woman on the stage is extremely pure, the melody is melodious, and as gentle as a dream.

After winning the movie, I will sing it to you alone.

Most of the people sitting in the VIP area in the front row were Lu Ling's biggest fans. The fluorescent sticks and hand banners swayed to the rhythm, forming a undulating sea of ​​fluorescent light.

The dim light under the stage cast bright and dark shadows on his face, and the expression on the man's face was unclear.

Zong Zi was sitting among a group of girls, still dressed in formal attire, looking inappropriately serious. He listened intently to the singing, but his attention seemed not to be on the stage.

The fabric of the high-end suit was expensive, and where a handkerchief should have been placed on the chest, there was a napkin placed nondescript, revealing a white patterned corner.

There was a vague name in it, close to his heart.

Get through the game quickly.

Tan Jinxue took off her pair of plain glasses and put them away.

The fat cat next to him snorted, "You spent so much love points just to watch a concert?"

Tan Jinxue glanced at it lightly, "You didn't tell me why I saw the scene three years later?"

Fat Cat cautiously took two steps back, further away from Tan Jinxue, "After the world is stripped away, the fragments of the original world viewed through the looking glass are random, and the time points are naturally also."

"Where is the value of love settled?"

The blue cat scratched his claws on the table and said slowly: "After the movie you made was released, the love value increased by 100,000 points. The heroine was successfully captured. The love value increased by 100,000 points. The male lead was successfully captured. , the love value has increased by 100,000 points, and the current love value is 190,000 points." It hummed: "No wonder you have to stay for three months to film the movie, huh, it turns out that you are planning to earn back the love value. !”

It starts and ends with making money, it’s just a lot of money!

Tan Jinxue raised her eyebrows with interest.

"Can you gain favorability points by defeating the male protagonist?"

The fat cat curled the tip of its tail next to its furry paws and said reluctantly: "Yeah. All important characters in the strategy can get love points. The female protagonist is the key to completing the task, and the male protagonist has the same amount as the female protagonist. A super pillar of the world, if you conquer the male protagonist at the same time, you will gain love points just like you conquer passers-by.”

Tan Jinxue narrowed her eyes.

very good.

Cat looked at the smile on her face and shuddered.

Tan Jinxue said, "I want to modify the form of 'men's clothing'."

Fatty Lan knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything more. He hummed and said, "Okay, 30,000 love points. What form do you want to change into?"

"What era is the next world?"

"Modern. After teleporting there, the plot introduction will begin."

"Then a watch." She glanced at the sinister cat: "No strings attached?"

The blue cat shook his head quickly. He flatteringly pushed a box containing a watch to Tan Jinxue, and then urged: "It's time for you to go."

Tan Jinxue said: "The remaining 190,000 love points will be transferred to my account." She stood up and walked towards the teleportation warehouse.

The blue cat swung its tail in annoyance, jumped to the side of the teleportation cabin, and watched the tall woman lie down in the teleportation cabin, and the door was sealed again. She immediately fell into sleep.

"She is so heartless, eh eh, master, are you sad?" The blue cat suddenly said to the void.

No one responded to it.

Fat Cat stared at Tan Jinxue in the teleportation cabin for a while, then slapped his paw heavily on the transmission button next to him.

Tan Jinxue opened her eyes.

A stream of hot steam sprayed on her face, and her eyes felt sour. She blinked hard and realized that her face was facing a steaming cauldron.

A pitch-black iron pot is three times larger than the largest washbasin. The contents looked like cornmeal batter mixed with a measly few green cabbage leaves.

There were three large porcelain bowls placed next to the stove, one of which had a big hole in the edge.

There was no mirror in the room. He raised his hand and saw that the stained cuffs were a little shorter. It could be seen that they were old clothes that had been worn for a long time and could no longer keep up with the growth rate of this body.

There is a watch on my wrist that seems a bit big.

This body is still in the development stage and has the characteristic lanky appearance of teenagers.

Tan Jinxue looked around.

This kitchen is very simple, using a simple stove made of bricks with firewood burning inside. The narrow house had only a small broken window, from which the chimney protruded. Hanging on the wall were two strips of smoked bacon and a few strings of dried chili peppers, with a large pile of hay beside it.

A few wilted green vegetables were placed on the chopping board aside, seemingly ready to be saved for the next meal.

This is a very poor family.

In a family of three, her mother, Jiang Xiuhua, is sick and unable to work in the farm, so she can only make some hard money by helping people make clothes and mend clothes. Her brother, Tan Jinxue, is an adopted orphan. He barely made it to the second year of high school with a scholarship from the school. His younger sister, Jiang Xuan, is a graduate of high school. In the third year of junior high school, the youngster of a key high school just dropped out of school last week because he couldn't pay the tuition and went home.

Mango Channel recently had a variety show called "Metamorphosis", and this family was one of the filming locations. Only when it is difficult enough can the troubled teenagers from the city truly realize that life is not easy.

Tan Jinxue, now 16 years old, lives in Liangtian Village, Darongshu Town, Nanling City, Yunbei Province. He has both good character and academic performance and a very poor family. He is currently a candidate for the protagonist in the 31st issue of "Metamorphosis".

He desperately needed this opportunity. This year's tuition has not been paid yet. If he can be exchanged to the city, he can use his performance to fight for the opportunity to continue studying in high school. As long as he takes the college entrance examination and with his grades, he can say goodbye forever to this poor place and this run-down family that has no blood relationship with him.

Tan Jinxue plans to still fight for this shooting opportunity, but he is not the one going to the city.

——"Mom, I'm back."

A skinny girl walked in from outside, carrying a basket half as tall as her, filled with pigweed. The two straps of the backpack cut deeply into her shoulders, making her appear overwhelmed.

She is Jiang Xiuhua's biological daughter and Tan Jinxue's sister, Jiang Xuan.

The heroine of this world.

Jiang Xuan went up the mountain to hunt pigweed early this morning. This was a job she was already accustomed to and it wouldn't take long. But when she was going down the mountain, she tripped and fell into the ravine. The originally full basket of pigweed was spilled, and she had to drag her skinned and bruised knees to fill the basket again.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get that person's cold gaze again.

Even though she was hurt by the fall, she climbed up without a drop of tears, and only had the hatred of gritted teeth in her heart.

I hate why my family is so poor, I hate why my mother is so sick, I hate that Tan Jinxue, I hate why I have always been arrogant and never take this family seriously.

My mother works day and night. She dropped out of school to take care of the housework. I am afraid she will have to go out to find a place to work and make money in a few days. However, her "brother" has been holding books with a look of aloofness all day long, doing flying out. Shanwowo has become a golden phoenix's dream, and he has to ask him to even make lunch, let alone do anything for this family.

He is a parasite and a vampire, making this already shaky home even more shaky.

Jiang Xuan put a basket full of pigweed in the yard and walked straight to the house where Jiang Xiuhua lived.

"Why are you back now, Xiaoxuan? The food at your brother's place is almost ready. Go and help put the food out." The woman's hoarse voice came from the room.

Jiang Xuan paused, bit her lip angrily, and then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The Jiang family has three rooms in total, one kitchen, and a small vegetable patch behind it. The main room is occupied by mother and daughter Jiang Xiuhua and Jiang Xuan, and there is also a small room for storing sundries. My brother talked about it after he went to high school. Needing his own independent space, he forced Jiang Xiuhua to move all the things in the house to the main room, and he moved in by himself.

Jiang Xuan walked halfway when she saw Tan Jinxue walking out of the kitchen carrying two bowls.

"Eat, it's ready." "He" said to Jiang Xuan, "You and mom can eat in the main room, I won't go in."

With a calm face, Jiang Xuan took the cornmeal batter from Tan Jinxue, turned around and went back to the main room without speaking to him.

Tan Jinxue squinted her eyes and saw that the shoes on the little girl's feet had a hole in them and her big toe was exposed from the upper. These shoes were bought for Jiang Xiuhua at a store in town when she was in good health. They have been worn for more than three years.

The little girl grew up quickly, and her shoes had already squeezed her feet, but she couldn't bear to say that she probably had an accident on the mountain today, and the shoes were completely ruined after all.

The heroine of this world has a tough heart and a smart mind. Although she is still a shabby ugly duckling at the moment, she is not a thing in the pond.

Following the trajectory of the original world, the film crew brought not only troubled teenagers from wealthy families in the two cities, but also a noble person in the heroine's destiny. The male protagonist was touched by the female protagonist's tenacious vitality and tenacity like a weed. Not only did he get rid of his problems, but he also missed the female protagonist after returning to the city.

He quietly funded the heroine's studies, and the heroine, who had the attributes of a top student, was naturally admitted to the best university in the hero's city. Destiny made the two meet again.

The heroine's pretentious white-eyed brother was so obviously selfish at the beginning of the show that he aroused the unanimous disgust of the audience. After failing the college entrance examination, he fell into a pyramid scheme and was ruined.

Tan Jinxue's mission is to obtain 99 love points from the heroine Jiang Xuan, who now hates him very much, and to separate her from the hero. Since she is currently a brother and sister in name only with the heroine, she can only improve the favorability of the heroine and start from the male protagonist's side. She thought to herself.

"Mom, it's time to eat." Jiang Xuan walked into the main room holding a bowl.

Jiang Xiuhua was leaning on the bed sewing a pair of trousers, her eyes red from the heat. She had just turned forty, and her face was already as haggard and old as an old woman. Because I suffer from rheumatism, I can't do heavy work on weekdays, and I can only endure the pain by myself. The joints of my hands, which had been rinsed with cold water all year round, were swollen and covered with calluses and pinholes.

She took the bowl, moved out of bed, sat at the Eight Immortals table in the room, and asked her daughter, "Where is your brother?"

Jiang Xuan took out a can from the cupboard, which contained pickles she had picked. She put a chopstick into her mother's bowl and whispered, "He said he would eat it by himself and would not come to our house."

Jiang Xiuhua sighed, her eye circles a little red.

Ever since the child found out that he was picked up, he seemed to have become more separated from his family. She often stayed in her room for a whole day, and she didn't even want to eat at the same table as her mother and daughter.

Although Ashue is not her biological child, she has been treating this child as if she was a piece of flesh for these years. How come...

Jiang Xuan couldn't see her mother being so sad, so she scolded Tan Jinxue a dozen times in her heart, and then comforted Jiang Xiuhua and said: "He is guarding the kitchen. He is not hungry. Mom, don't worry about it. If he wants to eat by himself, just let him Eat it yourself."

Jiang Xiuhua took a sip of the cornmeal batter. Although it hurt her throat, it was thick and warm, and she felt very comfortable after drinking it.

She said to her daughter: "Go and bring some pickles to your brother. He is eating alone in the kitchen and has no one to eat."

Jiang Xuan was naturally reluctant in every possible way, but she still couldn't resist her mother's gaze, so she picked up the pickle bottle and left the house.

Tan Jinxue sat on the edge of the stove, holding the broken bowl with the mouth missing. There was just enough paste in the big pot for three bowls, and the bottom of the pot was shiny, and there wasn't even one more mouthful left.

"Mom asked me to bring you pickles." Jiang Xuan walked into the kitchen.

As if he didn't expect her to appear suddenly, the "young man" sat up straight and seemed a little secretive.

Jiang Xuan was bright-eyed and noticed it immediately. She walked over quickly, took Tan Jinxue's arm and poured the pickles into "his" bowl while observing the surroundings carefully.

There is nothing worth covering up.

"Okay, you want to kill me?" the young man said angrily.

Only then did Jiang Xuan realize that she had poured too many pickles for "him" and felt a little distressed. He took a look into Tan Jinxue's bowl and was stunned.

Under the small pile of pickles, there was more than half a bowl of clear, watery paste. It was so thin that it could be finished in two or three mouthfuls. Not to mention filling the stomach, it was too little even for quenching thirst.

The young man seemed a little panicked. He picked up the bowl and drank the paste in the bowl with a few mouthfuls. He frowned because of the pickles, and then glared at Jiang Xuan, "What are you looking at? Eat your food." go."

Jiang Xuan's little face tightened, and she felt that this man's expression was a bit lecherous.

Regarding Tan Jinxue's attitude, she didn't bother to ask any more questions and turned around and walked out. But Jiang Xuan is not a careless person. The fourteen-year-old girl is already as careful as hair and thinks a lot.

——Why didn’t that man come to the main room to have dinner with the two of them? Why is the paste in his bowl so thin?

Jiang Xuan was filled with suspicion. She vaguely thought of a possibility, but immediately shook her head and denied it.

"Has Axue eaten?" Jiang Xiuhua asked.

Jiang Xuan came back to her senses, nodded, and said perfunctorily: "He ate early, Mom, don't worry about it, just eat quickly."

……how can that be possible? Because she and her mother were afraid that they wouldn't be full, I put all the thick soup into their bowls and hid in the kitchen to drink a bowl of soup that didn't feel full at all...

That's not who he is. He is a selfish man, how could he do such a thing!

Jiang Xuan absentmindedly scooped cornmeal batter into her mouth, admonishing herself in her mind, but could not find a more reasonable explanation for Tan Jinxue's behavior.

[Ding——The heroine Jiang Xuan’s favorability level is 25]

Putting down the bowl, Tan Jinxue curled the corners of her lips. Although the increase in favorability is not much, it is at least a good start.

Attacking smart people sometimes saves effort.

The next day was Monday. Jiang Xuan got up early, fed the pigs, and then went up the mountain with her basket on her back. Her shoes were torn, and her mother was feeling unwell yesterday, so she sewed them up by herself and put a patch on them, like an ugly scar.

Walking past the house where Tan Jinxue lived, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but take a peek inside, thinking of what she had discovered yesterday.

no one.

"You left so early. The sun really comes out in the west." Jiang Xuan muttered in a low voice.

School.

"Jin Xue, this is the scholarship for this semester, take it."

Tan Jinxue stood in the office and took a thin envelope from the middle-aged woman.

The head teacher looked at him, sighed, and said: "Well, the school also knows that your family is in trouble, but the scholarship in our school is only a small amount, which is more or less a subsidy." He patted Tan Jinxue on the shoulder. Said: "I heard that the transformation show in the city is coming to film. A staff member came to see me two days ago to learn about you and your family. The teacher recommended you. If If you can be on this show, maybe some kind people will help you continue your studies."

This student has good qualifications, but the key is to work very hard and study with great enthusiasm in the exercise book. She has taught high school in this town for ten years, and this is the first time she has seen such a student.

——Catch reading in your hands like a life-saving straw, grit your teeth and regard every point on the test paper as a future.

Although he is a little more utilitarian, it is excusable after all.

Maybe, he can really get admitted to a key university, and it can also add luster to this small town high school that has not produced a single college student for several years. Please help if you can.

Tan Jinxue smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Sun." He then asked, "Will the film crew go to our home?"

"I don't know about this either. Their staff didn't disclose it to me." Teacher Sun, the head teacher, said: "However, if a filming location is chosen, the program team will definitely go there and they should also pay for the location."

Tan Jinxue nodded, "he" showed a shy smile, "I'll go back and clean up."

After leaving the office, Tan Jinxue opened the envelope containing the scholarship and took a look inside. Three pink tickets.

This amount of money is a drop in the bucket for the tuition fees he still owes to school. Tan Jinxue has already thought of a use for the three hundred yuan.

After folding the envelope in half and putting it into the pocket of her school uniform, Tan Jinxue returned to the classroom.

The journey from the high school in the town to home takes about three hours, and in the middle there is more than an hour of walking on a mountain road and crossing a small stream. Tan Jinxue usually lives in the dormitory provided by the school and only goes home on weekends.

So much so that Jiang Xuan, who was sweeping the yard, was stunned when she saw the dusty Tan Jinxue appearing at the gate of the yard.

The "boy" in school uniform had his trouser legs rolled up to his calf, and his shoes were covered in mud.

He carried two bags on his shoulders.

"Why are you back?"

Tan Jinxue walked in in two steps and went straight to the kitchen.

Jiang Xuan threw the broom away with a bang and chased after him.

Then he watched Tan Jinxue carefully place the bag on his shoulder where the food was placed behind the stove. Originally there was only half a bag of cornmeal left there.

Jiang Xiuhua hasn't gotten much work in recent days, and she still has to buy special medicine to treat rheumatism. Coupled with Tan Jinxue's food expenses at school, the family's small savings have been depleted.

It was only April, and Jiang Xuan heard her mother's plan to sell one of the two pigs at home in a few days.

If you sell the unfatted piglets, you will lose money, but if you don't sell them, the whole family will suffer from the northwest wind.

What's more, Tan Jinxue is still urging his mother to raise tuition for him every day, as if the family owes him.

Jiang Xuan took a few steps and ran over, and then she saw clearly what the bag Tan Jinxue had put down was.

Thirty pounds of rice, thirty pounds of white flour.

Enough to feed them for a month.

"Where did it come from?" Jiang Xuan blurted out.

Tan Jinxue raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "I bought it with money."

Jiang Xuan asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Tan Jinxue looked impatient, "Don't worry about it. The family is about to run out of food, so let's eat these first."

Jiang Xuan frowned and said directly: "Are you so kind?"

Tan Jinxue glanced at her and said harshly: "What good will it do me if you and mom starve to death?"

Jiang Xuan was choked so much by him that her little face turned red.

Tan Jinxue turned around and left the kitchen. The little girl stood there, stamping her feet angrily.

Then I noticed two wet footprints on the ground where the man was standing just now.

Carrying sixty kilograms of grain all the way back from the town is definitely not easy.

Jiang Xuan thought for a while and returned to the main room.

"Mom, he's back." Jiang Xuan said.

When Jiang Xiuhua heard this, she quickly put down the half-sewn clothes and asked, "Why is Ah Xue back now? Does the school have to pay fees again?"

Jiang Xuan shook her head, feeling a little strange, "He didn't say anything, and he even sent back a bag of rice and a bag of noodles!"

After all, she was still a little girl, and her eyes lit up when she said this, "It's enough for us to eat for more than a month."

Jiang Xiuhua frowned, "This kid, where did he get the money? He must have learned bad things outside..." The woman was worried and said to Jiang Xuan, "Go and call your brother over. Mom will ask him."

Jiang Xuan was a little reluctant, but under the urging of Jiang Xiuhua's eyes, she got up and left the room.

"Mom asked you to come over there, hurry up."

The little girl didn't even want to enter the house. She poked her head near the door of the igloo and took a look inside.

It was getting late, and there was only a lamp on Tan Jinxue's desk in the room, which was dimly lit.

The young man stood up and said, "I know." He picked up his schoolbag and went to the main room.

Jiang Xuan deliberately followed him in, then stopped and quietly hid under the window to eavesdrop.

"Axue, Xiaoxuan said you brought back rice and noodles?"

"Um."

"Where did the interview come from? What were you doing outside?"

"We were given scholarships for this semester, and I bought them with my money."

Jiang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief, then took Tan Jinxue's hand and patted it, "Axue, Mom can't help you, I can't help you at all, and you still have to worry about supporting the family."

Jiang Xuan snorted outside the window.

Does he support the family? ! This is the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair!

Inside, she heard Tan Jinxue say: "Don't say that." His tone was very stiff, the kind Jiang Xuan was used to hearing. She could imagine the cold and distant look on Tan Jinxue's face when he spoke like this.

But just listening to the voice, I could hear an inexplicable urgency in it.

It's like...he's really eager to deny it.

"Mom, Xiaoxuan's shoes are broken. I bought a pair at the mall in town today and brought them back."

Jiang Xuan was stunned.

Jiang Xiuhua said: "These shoes are so beautiful!" She paused and then asked: "Why...why don't you just give them to Xiaoxuan?"

Tan Jinxue's voice came from inside the house.

"If she knew I bought these shoes, she wouldn't necessarily want them. Just give them to her and say you bought them for her."

Jiang Xuan pursed her lips.

"This is the remaining one hundred and twenty-five yuan. Take it. If your leg hurts so much, at least buy some painkillers. If you are sick, you have to live with it. Can you be okay?!"

Jiang Xiuhua agreed readily, feeling that the way A Xue spoke today did not allow her to refute.

"Well, I'll go back first. I have to go to school tomorrow morning. There may be guests at home this weekend. Please tell Xiaoxuan to tidy up the house."

Jiang Xiuhua responded repeatedly.

The woman looked at the tall and thin young man's back, feeling a sense of sourness and relief in her heart. This child watched as his branches grew like little white poplars.

Hearing Tan Jinxue's footsteps walking out of the house, Jiang Xuan quickly ran away on tiptoe.

Watching Tan Jinxue return to his own room, he heard his mother calling her.

"Mom, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Xuan stepped into the main room and looked at Jiang Xiuhua.

The woman was doing needlework on the bed. When she saw Jiang Xuan come in, a loving smile appeared on her face: "Xiaoxuan, come on, take a look. Mom bought you new shoes at the market yesterday."

Jiang Xuan looked a little weird, but she still walked over with a smile.

Jiang Xiuhua handed the girl a pair of brand new sneakers.

"Quick, put it on and try it on."

Jiang Xuan paused, then took the shoes and put them on.

very suitable. Wearing lightweight sneakers with a streamlined design, she couldn't help but jump on the ground twice. The lips that were usually tight also quietly curled up.

You are a child originally. Even if the burden of life forces you to grow up, you should still smile more.

Jiang Xiuhua stroked Jiang Xuan's hair lovingly, "Your brother will go back to school early tomorrow morning. Go get him some pickles to take with him."

Jiang Xuan nodded, turned around and went out.

[Ding——The heroine Jiang Xuan’s favorability score: 35]

The next day it was almost snowing and we woke up before dawn. The journey was more than three hours. If we didn't want to be late, we had to sacrifice sleep.

She went to the kitchen to get a steamed bun, and then saw a small bottle of pickles.

Presumably it was for her.

The tall and thin "boy" put the can and the steamed buns into his backpack.

"This is Tan Jinxue in our class." Teacher Sun smiled brightly, "Jinxue, this is Mr. Kang, the director of our "Metamorphosis"."

Kang Baiyu, the director and producer of Mango Channel's "Metamorphosis", turned a program into the number one gold medal variety show in ratings within a year, which can be said to be famous in the industry.

Tan Jinxue, wearing a clean school uniform and white sneakers, greeted Kang Baiyu politely: "Hello."

Kang Baiyu also looked at him up and down without any secret.

Although the young man in front of him still has the immaturity of a teenager, he is a little more calm than his peers.

From his clothes, it can be seen that his family background is not good, but he still lives a serious and careful life.

A pair of bright black eyes, piercing.

"I heard your grades are very good."

Kang Baiyu looked at Tan Jinxue with interest.

"right."

Kang Baiyu was stunned for a moment by the young man's frankness, or rather his lack of humility.

Then I heard Tan Jinxue say: "If you let them live in my house, I can help them with their homework!"

Kang Baiyu was stunned again and couldn't help asking: "You don't want to go to the city?"

He should understand the format of "Metamorphosis", where rural children and urban children swap places to experience each other's lives. But from what he said, it seemed like the candidate didn't intend to go to the city in exchange to see a different world.

... He even offered to provide tutoring for troubled students from the city?

Tan Jinxue shook her head, "I don't want to go to the city."

Teacher Sun standing aside was very embarrassed.

She always thought that Tan Jinxue wanted to fight for this opportunity to go to the city, but she didn't expect that the child would say such a straightforward refusal in front of the director.

Kang Baiyu asked: "You must have seen our program, right? Why did you apply to participate in the program if you don't want to go to the city?"

The boy in a blue school uniform smiled shyly, showing his white teeth.

"I want my sister to go to the city. And..."

Kang Baiyu felt that he had found the key to the problem, and quickly asked: "Why else?"

"If you shoot at my house... there will be a venue fee..." The boy looked at him and then at the class teacher and said.

Kang Baiyu:......
