our secret base

Chapter 55 Yan Jingxing's Abacus
Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao followed Yan Yongzhi to the grade office.

Compared to him who had been mentally prepared for a long time, the expression of the little girl beside him seemed more nervous.Yan Jingxing tugged on her sleeve quietly, and smiled relievedly at her.

"The night before yesterday, you came home late again."

Uncle sat down in his seat, and this was the first thing he said.

"Well, I should have contacted in advance..."

"I know. It was Xie Yuzhi's family who called and notified me."

Yan Yongzhi sighed.

"Do you remember how many times this is?"

"I forgot."

"The fourth time. During this week, you were out for four nights. You were not at home on weekends. Today I asked the dormitory supervisor, and you were not in the dormitory last night."

Yan Yongzhi gestured four fingers with a serious tone.

"It's okay to play with friends. When you first said you were going out on the weekend, didn't I promise you? Under normal circumstances, I won't stop you from doing anything you want, but you have to have a degree in everything. "

The office was very quiet. The cold air from the air conditioner made the tape rattle, and only my uncle's voice could be heard.Everyone is not surprised, after all, it is very common for teachers to call students to the office to criticize.

He secretly looked at Ji Chunzao out of the corner of his eye, and found that she was keeping her head down, being scolded obediently.

Judging by her attitude, she may have been used to it for a long time.

Yan Jingxing thought for a while, then suddenly said:
"Uncle, I want to ask a question."

"Ok?"

"What is 'degree'?"

Yan Yongzhi froze for a moment.

What is "degree"... For junior high school students, it is naturally stricter, and he is already considered a very tolerant kind of parent.

The most important thing is, for example, don't fall in love early—or at least, don't find two lovers?
"...Of course it is study. You are students, and your job is to study."

Yan Yongzhi coughed, and almost lost his expression.

He hasn't figured it out until now. When his nephew was in the city, he was no different from boys of the same age. Children of this age are always used to keeping a distance from the opposite sex. Boys can chat and have fun with each other. ——Why did people seem to have changed their temperament after changing places?

However, he also got to know the two girls who were with his nephew during this period of time, so although they hang out every day, they may not do anything out of the ordinary. Yan Yongzhi is also hesitating whether he really wants to Open your mouth.

It is more important to study, Yan Yongzhi thought.He is not the kind of parent who is grade-oriented, but as an educator, he knows very well that a student's grades are good or bad, which in itself can well reflect the person's recent living conditions and psychological state.

If there is a decline in grades for no reason, it is often due to a mentality problem, or even a sudden family accident. Yan Yongzhi has seen many such children in the years he has been a teacher;
Conversely, if a student's mental outlook looks different from before, as long as his academic performance remains unchanged or even improved, even if he is indeed influenced by the outside world, the influence is undoubtedly positive.

"I see you were sleeping in class today, you must have not studied hard, right?"

"You're right." Yan Jingxing nodded approvingly, "It's true that I haven't spent much effort these days."

"You know it yourself. If you continue like this, what will happen to your studies? Your grades are still good, but because you just transferred here, if you don't keep up with the recent courses, you will fall behind by a lot compared to others..."

"Yes, I know. I'll have to work harder to keep my grades."

Yan Jingxing followed what his uncle said
"After much deliberation, in my situation, the most important thing is to improve learning efficiency in a short period of time. Therefore, I think we can hold study sessions."

"... a study session?"

"Correct."

Yan Jingxing nodded solemnly.

"It is to find students who are good at learning to help with the recent homework."

Yan Yongzhi stared at his nephew with a strange expression.He didn't have to think much to know that the kid would speak next.The abacus in this stomach is really loud.

"...Jing Xing, is this 'student with good grades' you mentioned, Xie Yuzhi from Class Five?"

"That's right." Yan Jingxing's attitude was sincere, "Among the classmates I know, only she has the best grades and is capable of helping me."

"Tell the truth, did you really find someone to learn from?"

"of course."

"Then why don't you ask me, Xie Yuzhi's grades are very good, but I'm still a teacher who teaches every day."

"Of course uncle can help me, but you usually don't prepare lesson plans, correct homework and test papers, and so on. I'm so busy every day, I'm really embarrassed to ask."

Yan Jingxing speaks plausibly.

"In addition, I am not the only student who can be helped by the study meeting."

Of course he would not forget that there was another person present.

"Like this classmate Ji Chunzao, I, she and Xie Yuzhi are all acquaintances, we can learn and improve together."

"...Talk to me seriously." After a moment of silence, Yan Yongzhi said, "Can you really guarantee that your studies will not be affected?"

……

After the two walked out of the office, Yan Jingxing breathed the fresh air in the corridor, did a few chest expansion exercises, and looked relaxed.

Although Yan Yongzhi and Yan Yongzhi are uncles and nephews, but being called to the office by the teacher, no student will subconsciously become nervous.

"You are really good."

Ji Chunzao, who had been silent since being called to the office, finally spoke with emotion:

"Besides, your uncle is not very angry when you talk like this."

"As long as what I say makes sense, my uncle will generally agree. This is the way I get along with him." Yan Jingxing replied, "But this time I have issued a 'military order'. If the next monthly exam fails, uncle It won’t be so easy to talk over there.”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Chunzao who seemed to be relieved.

"So, let's go to Yuzhi later and discuss with her about the study session."

"Hey~ Are you really going to have a study session?"

The little girl was surprised.

"You think I'm joking?" Yan Jingxing spread his hands, "I still care about my studies."

Although I care more about superpowers and alien creatures.

"Speaking of which, how is your grade, Chunzao? How many did you get in the last monthly exam?"

"Uh...more than 20."

"More than 20? What number is more than 20? To be honest, I don't believe you really forgot."

"...29." Ji Chunzao answered honestly.

"No. 29. There are 45 people in our class. You are already in the second half, and you are in the last place." Yan Jingxing held his chin, and said the words without politeness.

"Ugh..."

Ji Chunzao lowered his head dejectedly, as if he had been severely hit.

"Obviously we are all superpowers, do we really need to care about such things?"

"..."

Yan Jingxing was silent for a while.

"What you said is not unreasonable."

Regarding the secrets of another world, in fact, he didn't deliberately hide it, but he didn't deliberately reveal it either.

Besides, just like him and Xie Yuzhi in the past, no one would believe it until they saw the truth that could subvert the world view with their own eyes.

... However, Yan Jingxing felt that sooner or later, the people around him would know the truth.

He had such a hunch, but he didn't know when it would come.

Maybe he is far away from the present, maybe unexpectedly close, everything about the future is unknown.

"...Jing Xing?"

Ji Chunzao's voice filled his ears along with the summer wind.

"Let's make the family happy." Yan Jingxing replied softly after regaining consciousness, "As uncle said, the job of a student is to study, even if it is to show others."

"……Um."

She nodded, returning to her bright smile.

*
On the second day, hundreds of second-grade students prepared to set off collectively.

The car that sent them to the military training hadn't arrived yet, so the teachers and students who gathered early had to wait at the school gate first.

The team is loose and unorganized, and everyone whispers to each other very lively. Occasionally, some people pass by the school gate on bicycles. When they see this group of youthful children carrying schoolbags, they often smile subconsciously and recall their youthful years. .

Yan Jingxing and his good friend were chatting in the corner, discussing about the study session and the secret base.

He was carrying the schoolbag he used to go to school, while Ji Chunzao put on a small satchel with a fluffy teddy bear on it, which was very suitable for her.

When the two of them spoke in a low voice, they intentionally or unintentionally kept a certain distance from the other students in the class.At this time, a clear and clear voice suddenly broke into their communication.

"So you are here."

I will take the initiative to find them, and there is no one else except Miss Xie.

"I have something for you."

Always quick to do things, she took out two shiny black mobile phones from her bag and stuffed them into the hands of two friends.

"This, this is..."

"Nokia N95."

By the way, I also handed them two notes.

"It's the number of the three of us. The card has been inserted, and you can use it directly."

The school regulations of the Experimental Middle School do not allow students to carry any electronic devices, and mobile phones are naturally rare items for junior high school students.Even if the students who live on campus need to contact their families, they can only go to the dormitory manager's phone number.

It felt a bit outrageous for a classmate in the same grade to suddenly give him a mobile phone that was thousands of dollars larger without saying a word; but when I thought it was Xie Yuzhi, it made people think it was very reasonable.

Although he was a bit thick-skinned, Yan Jingxing felt that he and Ji Chunzao were like the kind of little boys in society who were taken care of by rich women, and they didn't have to think about anything.

"Why so suddenly?"

"We've always acted together. But in the event of an accident involving an alien planet, and we're not together when it happens, we've got to have an easy way to communicate with each other."

"Thank you, Captain Xie." He accidentally said what he called her in his heart.

"...Thank you, Captain?"

Xie Yuzhi shook her head and corrected solemnly.

"This title is outdated. I am now a member of the Communist Youth League. You are too. You will join the Communist Youth League in a few months."

After entering junior high school, no one wears a red scarf.However, in the first year of junior high school, everyone was actually a young pioneer, and it was only in the second year of junior high school that they generally joined the league. Only a small number of outstanding students were eligible to join the league at the age of thirteen.

"Well, what should I call you then?"

"Hmm...after I become the secretary of the school youth league branch, you may have to call me 'Secretary Xie'?"

Xie Yuzhi replied half-jokingly.

"Okay, I'll go back to my class first, and I'll contact you when I get there."

She waved at the two of them, turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Yan Jingxing hurriedly called her to stop.

"Almost forgot, I was discussing something related to you with Chunzao just now."

He repeated what he had said to his uncle.

"I'm sorry, Yuzhi, I thought of it on the spur of the moment, and I didn't discuss it with you in advance."

"It's ok."

The corner of Xie Yuzhi's mouth curled up happily, as if he was very satisfied with his idea.

"It's a really good idea. In this way, you and Chunzao don't have to always think of excuses to fool the parents, and we can have more free time to spend."

"...Wait, why do you have the same idea as Chunzao?" Yan Jingxing couldn't help complaining, "I really want to hold a study meeting. In order to convince my uncle, I issued a military order. I will take the monthly exam next time. We shall see the outcome."

"Of course, you can drive it if you want. I can teach you, or I can invite other teachers to come over as tutors. It just so happens that the cram school is closed. No matter what you want to do, I will do my best to help."

Seeing the confident and tolerant smile on the eldest lady's face, Yan Jingxing's sense of being "nurtured" became stronger.

but……

Well, there's nothing wrong with that, he thought.

　Report, first order 820.Although the performance of the new book period is the same, but under the premise that the collection is twice as intrusive, the subscription is not even as good as the former, which still makes me feel very sorry, after all, the subscription ratio is really relatively poor in the current starting point environment Yes... It seems that there is still a problem with my writing ideas. Let's see if I can exercise and improve it in the future.
