Chapter Eleven: Fragrant and Warm
When Zhou Qi saw Teacher Ma coming, he immediately crumpled up the note in his hand and threw it out the window, with a provocative expression like "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".
Teacher Ma glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't ruin my pot of good porridge with two pieces of mouse droppings." After saying that, he glanced at Su Li sideways, and then walked back to the podium to continue teaching.
Su Li stood there and felt the eyes of her classmates shooting at her like sharp arrows. She had never been humiliated in public like this before. She felt aggrieved and sad.
But you can't blame others. Whoever makes your grades unpopular with your teacher? If you sow the cause, you have to taste the fruit yourself.
During that class, Su Li stood until the end of the get out of class. When she sat down, her legs felt a little weak.
Fortunately, the next class was finally not Teacher Ma's class. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not expect that the English teacher actually started taking English dictation.
She had no idea what new words were being taught in the past two days, so she took out her notebook and listened to the teacher read, completely confused.
Zhou Qi was just as confused as she was, but Zhou Qi was clever. He checked left and right, and quickly copied a large page. He generously pushed it to Su Li, signaling her to hurry up.
copy.
Although Su Li had poor grades, she had never done something as shameful as plagiarism. However, the paper in front of her was completely blank. She had no choice but to bury her head and copy shamelessly.
After finally passing this level, Zhou Qi looked proud and said, "How about it, am I good at it?"
"It would be even better if you could use this ability in your studies." Su Li said with a gentle tone, like a Bodhisattva who persuades people to do good.
"Tch, it doesn't matter if you have good academic performance, you still have to move bricks after graduation." The other party said with disdain, "My cousin graduated from a well-known university, guess what he is doing now."
Su Li looked at him but didn't answer.
"Selling pork." Zhou Qi curled his lips, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
"Not all people are like your cousin." Su Li tried to convince him, "I have a cousin who graduated from college and is the president of a big company. She is very powerful."
"Haha." Zhou Qi couldn't help laughing. He was almost discovered by the teacher, so he immediately covered his mouth. After a long time, he continued to whisper, "When you finish college and become the president, don't forget me, my little brother."
Su Li knew that he was making fun of her, so she simply stopped answering and listened carefully.
School soon ended. Chen Xi packed his schoolbag and came over, "Let's go."
The two of them left the school gate, took bus No. 7, and got off after eight stops.
Chen Xi's home is very close to the platform, and it doesn't take long to walk there.
Her home looks like a small villa, which she said was designed by her father, an engineer.
Su Li praised her repeatedly, "It's so beautiful."
After entering the door, they first passed through a courtyard filled with flowers and trees, and a winding stone path led them to the living room on the first floor.
The living room is large and decorated in a simple European style. The crystal lamps on the ceiling are crystal clear and shine with charming light.
"Your home is like a palace." Su Li praised everything she saw from the bottom of her heart.
"Mainly because my dad designed it well." Chen Xi replied with a smile.
At this time, a beautiful woman walked out from the corner, with her long hair held loosely. Although she was wearing a floral apron, she didn't look like a "housewife" at all. She was dignified and beautiful.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier when you brought your classmates? I'll cook more." The woman's smile looked like Chen Xi's, sweet.
Chen Xi stuck out his tongue and said, "It was a temporary decision."
"Then ask your dad to buy some cooked food. I happened to make an extra soup today." The woman said and called upstairs, "Dad Xi, come down."
A man wearing a clean blue shirt and neat suit trousers walked downstairs with slippers on and a gentle look on his face, "What's wrong!"
"Go buy some cooked food and add some extra dishes tonight. Xi is bringing her classmates." The woman ordered and re-entered the kitchen.
The man glanced at Su Li and smiled kindly, "Okay, you go upstairs first. Dinner will be ready in a moment."
Su Li was warmed by their enthusiasm and couldn't accept it with peace of mind. She stopped her and said, "Uncle, I'm just here to learn from Chen Xi for a while. You can just cook your own food. Don't worry about me. I'm not very hungry. Wait a minute."
Just go home and eat."
When the woman heard this from the kitchen, she came out with a plate and said, "Why are you so polite? It's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Your Uncle Chen and I both like fun, so just keep us company." She said and walked into the kitchen again,
After a while, the aroma of broth hit Su Li's nose.
"Let's go up first." Chen Xi smiled and pulled Su Li up to the second floor. The second floor is very spacious and decorated in a simple European style, low-key yet luxurious.
Chen Xi's room is very large, with a curtain separating the world into two. One side is the bedroom with a beautiful Simmons bed, and the other side is the study room with two large bookcases filled with books.
Her desk is placed next to the bookcase. It is neatly tidied and the things on it are arranged neatly.
The two of them sat down, and Chen Xi began to teach Su Li the lessons of the past few days. After the Chinese course, he went to mathematics, and after the course of mathematics, he went to English.
Su Li listened very carefully, took notes, and asked questions if she didn't understand something. Chen Xi answered very seriously, and his tone was always gentle and patient.
Soon, Chen's mother's voice calling for dinner came from downstairs. Chen Xi immediately picked up Su Li and said, "Let's go eat."
Su Li's heart felt extremely warm. She had never been to other people's homes, let alone received such a welcome.
Now that I met Chen Xi, I had only known him for a few days, and I was treated with such sincerity. I felt extremely grateful. I wanted to say thank you, but I felt that just a thank you was too light and pale.
The two went downstairs hand in hand, where Mother Chen and Father Chen were already sitting at the dining table downstairs.
A table of delicacies was placed on the round dining table. In the middle was a pot of light yellow chicken soup. Surrounding the chicken soup were steamed sea bass, sweet and sour pork ribs, sauce duck meat, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
Mother Chen picked up the white ceramic bowl and scooped out a bowl of chicken soup. She handed it to Su Li first and said, "Drink some soup first. You are growing up at your age and you can't lose weight blindly." She scooped up another bowl and handed it to Chen Xi.
, "You have lost a lot of weight recently."
He scooped another half of the bowl and gave it to Father Chen, "You have to lose weight."
Father Chen had a bitter look on his face, "I have gained weight in middle age and I can't lose it."
Chen Xi helped and said, "Mom, please spare dad. He loves to drink the chicken soup you made. Half a bowl is not enough."
Father Chen immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled at his daughter, "My daughter still understands her father."
Mother Chen relented, filled up the chicken soup and handed it to Father Chen.
The chicken soup tasted particularly sweet. Su Li drank a bowl and wanted to drink more, but she was embarrassed, so when Chen's mother asked, "Do you want more?" she replied, "No, I'll just have another bowl of rice."
