Unlike studying in the county town, middle schools in the city attach great importance to mid-term exams and not only set aside two days for the entire third-grade junior high school placement exam.
The final results will also be evaluated most intuitively during the period before the high school entrance examination.
It's not long before the high school entrance examination, and it will take less than two months to complete the exam.
On the way home at noon, after the second day of the mid-term exam, Zhu Shushu's anxious heart showed signs of relief. She performed well in several exams yesterday, and she thought she should be able to get a good ranking.
Because there was still some time before the afternoon exam, she chose to go home for dinner during the two-hour break at noon, and in the afternoon she only had to finish the physics exam.
I took the bus to the community and took the elevator to the door of my house.
He took out the key and opened the door. When he entered the house and changed his shoes, he heard the sound of the stove being used in the kitchen.
"Mom, is the food ready?"
Like the most common question asked by most hungry children after returning home, Zhu Shushu shouted towards the kitchen after changing her shoes.
However, I thought I would get a response from my mother, but after waiting for several seconds, except for the music and the voices coming from the kitchen, there was no other sound.
After stopping in place for three or four seconds, Zhu Shushu came to the kitchen out of curiosity and secretly listened to the conversation through the kitchen door.
My father, who had gone out early in the morning, had returned home at some point. It seemed that his father, who was in charge of cooking, was chatting wordlessly with his mother, who was helping out.
The sound of the spatula scraping across the bottom of the pot, and the sound of vegetables sizzling in the pot as they are heated.
And...the mother, Hao Yufen, sighed helplessly and then sighed helplessly.
"To be honest, that girl Zhao Xuanying is quite pitiful."
"Who says it's not?"
"Oh...did you remember our mother before she left? She was in good health, and there was nothing wrong with walking on the street all day long. But she suddenly became ill after a fall. This person has only a few injuries as he gets older.
I can’t stand it, even if there is a slight problem, it will be gone.”
"Who says it isn't?"
Listening to the conversation between my parents, listening to my father's helpless agreement.
Both her grandmother and grandfather passed away early, and since Zhu Shushu had memories of her childhood, she had not seen much of her mother's family.
Except for my cousin who was taken in by his biological mother since he was a child, I accidentally heard that my grandma had gone away due to various accidents a long time ago.
Zhu Shushu had never met her aunt, and neither her grandma nor her grandfather had the slightest impression of her.
My grandfather and his wife passed away early due to physical reasons at a very early age. During those years, my aunt and uncle raised my mother up. However, before she could enjoy the blessings, she and her uncle died due to an accident, leaving only her.
He gave birth to the child Liu Weicheng.
After all, she had been taken care of by her sister since she was a child. As a sister, Hao Yufen couldn't bear to see her nephew left unattended, so she finally took him back home.
The person the two mentioned just now was Zhu Shushu's grandmother. She was almost ten years old when the other party passed away.
So I still remember it clearly now.
In my impression, my grandma was always in good health, until she fell down while going out and passed away in less than a year.
People often say that old people cannot fall. After all, as we age, all aspects of our bodies become inferior to those of young people. A seemingly ordinary small bump is likely to cause serious harm to a body that already has many hidden dangers.
burden.
Some of Hao Yufen's words seemed to bring back Zhu Chengjun's bad memories.
Even though his mother had passed away five or six years ago, he still felt deeply guilty when he thought about it.
"If I had paid more attention at that time, my mother might not have left. Sigh... Who would have thought that I would fall down the two-story stairs? Give me the plate."
Through a door, Zhu Shushu heard the sound of dishes being served.
Then came the mother's voice.
"Actually, Zhao Xuanying is a really nice kid. She has been used to hard times since childhood and her personality is not irritable at all. She can take care of others and is good at everything. If our family Weicheng didn't already have a girlfriend, I would be really satisfied with her."
"What's the use of talking about it now? I've already met Nianwei's family, so stop talking nonsense."
"Sigh... Now that something like this has happened again, I can't even feel at ease in school. I'll come over to him in the afternoon. Weicheng called and asked me to help take care of him for two days."
"I know, let's take the dishes out first."
Hearing the words coming from the kitchen, by the time Zhu Shushu wanted to run away, it was already too late.
Just as he was about to turn around, the closed door of the kitchen was pushed open in the next second.
Hao Yufen, who was carrying the dishes, immediately spotted her eldest daughter eavesdropping outside the door. Faced with this sudden situation, she was not mentally prepared at all and was startled. She took two steps back to stabilize her body.
This prevents the dishes you are carrying from spilling on the ground.
After taking a few breaths, he raised his voice slightly and asked in confusion.
"When did you come back?"
"Just now..."
"This kid was lying at the door listening to something. It almost scared me to death."
After all, it was his own child, not to mention that his daughter had to take an exam in the afternoon. Hao Yufen only mentioned it briefly and did not delve too deeply into the matter.
I carried the plate to the dining table, and after going back and forth several times, I got everything ready.
Zhu Shushu on the side just watched quietly, looking at her mother who was serving rice in front of the rice cooker. After a while, she stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"Just now you were talking to my dad about Sister Yingying... Something happened to her family again?"
"Did you hear everything?"
"I heard a little bit... By the way, what happened?"
"It's nothing. It's just that Yingying's grandma fell down in the toilet at night and hit the back of her head. She still hasn't woken up yet."
"..."
The words she calmly narrated left Zhu Shushu alone and stunned.
I have the impression that Zhang Cuilan was recovering from an accident not long ago. Who would have thought that she would have another accident now.
In just a moment, Zhu Shushu thought of Zhao Xuanying, and after coming back to her senses, she hurriedly asked.
"Well, what about Sister Yingying?"
"How about what?"
"Is she feeling particularly uncomfortable?"
"Why are you kid talking nonsense? She is just a grandma. Will she not feel uncomfortable when her grandma is hospitalized?"
Even though she has a good impression of Zhao Xuanying, after all, this is someone else's business. Hao Yufen did not show too much sadness, and when describing this aspect, it was as if she was describing an extremely ordinary trivial matter.
After placing the rice on the table and asking Zhu Shushu to wash her hands and eat, Hao Yufen returned to the kitchen.
Zhu Shushu was left standing alone, as if she was lost in thought, unable to move for a long time.
In her impression...
It seems that since the Chinese New Year, Zhao Xuanying's family has not been quiet for a moment.
