As an excellent person, the sign that he has grown up is not just the simple criterion of age. Being able to plan an ultra-long-distance home route and put it into practice is also a way to reflect his growth.
This trip home was kept secret by myself. Even Teacher Sakuraba, who was the responsible guardian, had already explained carefully that "it was a surprise for the family", so there was probably no surprise.
Although the holiday was supposed to start on December 25th this year, in fact, this short two-week holiday started on the 23rd, because the New Year will be in one week, and every household
Everyone also started to prepare for the New Year. Two days in advance, Xia Zhi decided to bring some surprises to his family. Although the holiday started two days in advance and the holiday was received two days in advance, it didn't matter.
Get in the way.
Anyway, I had already made preparations not to overlap with the Chinese New Year.
This time I'm probably just going back to work as a free labor force for nearly two weeks, but that doesn't matter. Going home is the most important thing. My parents should be shocked, and Xiao Meng might be shocked too.
Xia Zhi couldn't help but imagine her sister's expression after being frightened, and a smile appeared on her face.
However, at times like this, my sister will usually become angry and angry. For the sake of their own face and my sister's mood, their parents might beat themselves up in turn...Xia Zhi suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to have a holiday two days in advance. Anyway, it was not good to go ahead with it.
In advance, the vacation is only for two short weeks. If I go back two days late, I might not get beaten.
Can't Japan set the holiday on December 25th? Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain. The originally easy walk home from the station became difficult.
Today is already the 25th, the second day of holiday. I flew back to China from Japan and took the high-speed train to the province. Because it was getting late, I had to find a place to rest. I got up early the next morning.
It took exactly two days to get home from work. It was wrong, it should be said to be a day and a half, because when I got home, it was between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, when no one was at home.
This should be an opportunity given by God to make amends. If the house is cleaned before my sister and parents come back, and a table of barely passable meals can be cooked by the way, maybe they will be in a better mood and I won’t have to be beaten.
.
The skill "Homecoming Like an Arrow" is activated! When moving towards home, the movement speed increases by 20%.
December 25th is not a special day. If I insist on saying so, today seems to be Christmas. But this holiday is actually insignificant in China, except for the "Candy is unsalable, help us" candy.
In addition to manufacturers and men and women who don't have anything but always want to do something in this day.
The apples that were originally placed in bulk on the stall and could not be sold by the pound are now sold for dozens each after being put in fancy packaging that costs just a few cents. And the more fancy the packaging, the more expensive the price. It’s not like that.
I know the difference between the merchant's Qiqiao Exquisite Heart and Bigan's.
At the critical moment, someone would actually buy it! If he hadn't had his own stall, Xia Zhi would have actually wanted to buy him a bunch of apples and a bunch of colored paper and ribbons in advance. The total cost of the materials was less than a few dozen yuan. If he was lucky,
Maybe it can be sold for hundreds or even thousands. It's like a waste of money.
The total value of human IQ is probably conserved. The smarter these smart merchants are, the dumber the victims as consumers are. Fortunately, Xia Zhi himself can still think clearly about the truth.
"Young man, do you want to buy an apple?" asked the uncle at the roadside stall. His business was not bad, and there were many people nearby who were looking at the colorfully packaged apples he put out in front of the stall.
Although I really want to say to him, "Do you think I'm a fool?", it's not easy for people to do business. It's not necessary. What's more, the prices are clearly marked here. Whether or not you want them is none of your business.
What do you care about what he does, such as forced buying and selling, which is an outrageous act? Even if Zhou Yu is beaten by Huang Gai, one is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to suffer.
Xia Zhi shook his head and walked away from the group of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai. Although today is not a holiday, you still need to prepare the things that should be prepared, at least for your sister. After all, the girl's
I probably can't guess what I am doing. If my sister doesn't want a Christmas gift, then just give it away as an ordinary gift. If she does... just say that this is a Christmas gift specially prepared for her.
Wouldn’t it be great as a holiday gift?
What's more, when I went to Ibaraki Prefecture with Tachibana Aya, I spent a long time shopping there. Fortunately, I was smart and didn't go back and send back the gift I bought for my sister, otherwise I would have to spend more money.
So damn witty!
All I have to do next is go back and make dinner and everything will be fine! At least I won't get beaten.
The walk home from the station is not long, about ten or twenty minutes. Although there is a bus passing by, I am too lazy to wait. Maybe I will have almost reached home when I wait for the bus.
After three o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays, it is one of the busiest times. Apart from idle people, people who are late for work, and people who are opening shops, there are no other people on the street. Xia Zhi looked at it this way
I know that a person who is still a student but is walking on the road with a suitcase is particularly conspicuous. Everyone who passes by will turn around and look at it.
It's not the time to go home for college vacation now, let alone the vacation time for junior high school and high school. It is indeed more conspicuous when walking on the street.
One characteristic of small counties is that no matter who they are, even if you don’t know them, if you walk on the streets a lot, you will always feel that everyone looks familiar. After all, there are not many people in small counties, and you walk on the streets every day.
They are all those people. You see them once today, again in a few days, and several times in the next few days. As time goes by, everyone becomes familiar with each other inexplicably.
Then, when something happens, everyone goes to watch and sigh, and someone next to them agrees with one or two words, and then they start discussing. Although this is the same pattern, it is particularly obvious in small counties.
The more prominent thing is that when you get on the bus, as long as you are different from others in some ways, such as Xia Zhi, who rings the suitcase to go home at the wrong time, the bus driver or uncle will sometimes ask
Even if the bus driver doesn’t ask about your silly things, other talkative people will ask you a few questions. If you are in such a silly situation, and you mention the fact that you just returned home from studying abroad,
When we came out, the bus was probably like a year-end party for the seven aunts and eight aunts.
The curiosity of the Chinese people cannot be summed up clearly in a few words.
Although it is troublesome, it is also quite lively. But Xianyu will not cause trouble for himself.
Walking all the way up, it took more than ten minutes to finally reach the door of his house. There were not many things, but Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it felt so relaxing to go home.
He took out the house key that he had prepared for a long time from his pocket and opened the door to the house. When he thought that he could flutter around on his bed, Xia Zhi felt a little expectant. After opening the door, he saw Xia Zhi who was extremely excited.
Familiar scenes, be it the wall, the shoe cabinet, or the door of my bedroom not far from the door... except for one person who shouldn't be standing in the entrance hall at this moment.
She was not tall and only reached Xia Zhi's chest. She had no expression on her cold face. Her long black hair was carefully combed and held in place with a rabbit hairpin. She was wearing loose pajamas and she didn't look like a girl.
It doesn't have much effect on keeping warm. It's probably because my parents put an air conditioner in the living room on a whim. Although the living room is connected to almost all areas in the house that don't need doors, the whole house has become...
You have to warm up. But that's not an important issue.
Xia Meng stood there, her right hand completely covered by the long sleeve of her pajamas, only half of the luster of her mobile phone was exposed. Her face was calm and listless, looking at Xia Zhi as if she hadn't woken up yet.
"You're back? Two minutes faster than I thought. Did you walk here?"
she asked while yawning.
Xia Zhi's hand holding the suitcase unconsciously let go, and the suitcase fell to the ground. He looked at Xia Meng and asked in an incredible tone: "Xia Meng?"
"You're not hallucinating." After saying that, she turned and walked towards the living room.
"Oh no!" Xia Zhi took a step inside and suddenly remembered that his box had been thrown outside. He went back to pick up the box, took off his shoes, closed the door, and put on the clothes he placed at the door.
I just threw my slippers and the box in the hallway and walked towards the living room.
When Xia Zhi finished all this and walked to the living room, Xia Meng was sitting on the sofa, holding her legs and tapping her phone. The scene was as beautiful as a painting, but that was not the point!
My sister, it seems, is a bad learner!
Xia Zhi walked quickly to Xia Meng. When the other party raised his head in confusion, Xia Zhi couldn't help but asked: "Xiaomeng, if I remember correctly, today should be Tuesday, right?
"
The other party nodded slightly, answering his question.
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, right?"
The other party nodded again and yawned by the way.
"School is on holiday?"
"No." She suddenly spoke: "I know what you want to ask, I just didn't go to class today."
"How can this work! No matter how simple the knowledge in junior high school is, no matter how stupid you think your classmates are, you still have to go to class!" Xia Zhiyu said seriously.
"...You seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me." Xia Meng stretched out his hand towards Xia Zhi: "Give me your hand."
Xia Zhi stretched out her hand without knowing why, and then Xia Meng pulled her to the sofa and sat down. Miss Xia Meng lay down and rested her head on Xia Zhi's legs: "This is more comfortable."
To be honest, it hurts a little when the hairpin is stuck.
Putting down the phone with her right hand, she flipped through a pile of "super difficult" books on the sofa and pulled out a piece of paper, which she handed to Xia Zhi.
"Look." Then he raised his head and played with his mobile phone.
"It's not good to play with mobile phones like this. It hurts your hands and can easily damage your eyes." Xia Zhi said again with great sincerity.
Miss Xia Meng paused for a moment, then lay on her side on the sofa and continued playing.
Xia Zhize looked at the paper in his hand. There was not much content. He could sum it up in one sentence:
The school has specially approved that Xia Meng, a student, does not need to go to class. She only needs to take the necessary exams on time (notified by the class teacher by phone).
