Taoist Master and the Cat

School starts on Monday, and at noon, the results of this midterm exam will come out.

The homeroom teacher called Xie Jingyuan to the office and gave him two lists, one was the class ranking of Class Nine, and the other was the grade ranking of the entire first year of high school.

Xie Jingyuan is the class monitor. Taking advantage of his position, he walked out of the office and stood in the corridor to read.

Let's look at the class ranking of Class Nine first.

He and Xu Shou were still first and second in the class, Su Miaomiao fell from third to sixth, and Gu Jialing rose from fifty-second to forty-third.

Xie Jingyuan frowned.

Class Nine has a strong learning atmosphere. Because Su Miaomiao has two self-study sessions for training, and she doesn’t know how to make tutoring by herself when she comes home at night, it’s normal to be surpassed by other hard-working students. It’s like she has top-notch sports talent. It is difficult to compete with professional athletes if you are not good at exercising.

You get what you pay for, there are no shortcuts.

If only thinking about the college entrance examination, Su Miaomiao needn't worry about anything. With the sports awards she will get later, she will definitely be recommended to the top universities in China.

However, Su Miaomiao has a strong competitive spirit. Not only did she fail to catch up with Xu Shou this time, but she even fell down. Su Miaomiao must be unhappy.

Xie Jingyuan looked at the grade ranking again, and Su Miaomiao fell even more. Fortunately, she was still in the top 50 of her grade, and she was still in the first examination room during the final exam.

Holding these two lists, Xie Jingyuan returned to Class Nine.

"Squad leader, is this the grade ranking?"

"Ok."

Xie Jingyuan posted the list on the bulletin board of the class, so that it is convenient for the students to check the results.

In a blink of an eye, the notice board was surrounded by students several times.

Gu Jialing stretched her neck and asked, "Master, where am I?"

Xie Jingyuan: "Forty-three."

Gu Jialing was as happy as a grasshopper, bouncing around and touching the ceiling with his palms a few times. Although this ranking still didn't satisfy him, progress is good. If he keeps working hard, he might be able to enter the top ten by the end of the term.

Xie Jingyuan then said to Xu Shou who was watching him silently: "You are still second."

Xu Shou smiled.

Xie Jingyuan added: "The fifth grade."

Xu Shou's smile froze immediately. He was the third grader when he entered school, how did he fall two places?

At this time, Su Miaomiao was also woken up and looked up at them.

Xie Jingyuan taught the Three Demons a lesson together: "Don't underestimate the diligence and talent of other students."

The students recruited by the No. 1 Middle School were originally the best students in the urban area.

The students in elementary school and junior high school are more playful and lack self-discipline, so it is easy to show the excellence of the four of them.

High school is different, especially the top students in classes nine and ten.

Xu Shou was taught humbly, and secretly decided to postpone his bedtime to eleven o'clock at night.

Gu Jialing glanced at the other students, and felt the pressure of competition for the first time. If he was lazy, he might not be able to go to the same university as the Taoist master and the others.

"And me?"

Su Miaomiao finally understood what everyone was discussing, looked at Xie Jingyuan who was sitting down and asked.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at her and wrote down her two rankings on the paper.

Gu Jialing came over to look at it, but Xie Jingyuan blocked it.

Gu Jialing gloated: "Secretly, I must have failed the exam."

Realizing that she had fallen in the ranking, Su Miaomiao's face was already very ugly, Gu Jialing was still smiling, Su Miaomiao jumped up and wanted to beat him up.

Gu Jialing took advantage of the fact that there was no desk behind her, so she ran away all of a sudden.

Xie Jingyuan held Su Miaomiao's wrist, pulled her back to the chair and sat down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't do well in the exam this time, and I will catch up next time. In the three years of high school, the ranking cannot remain the same, and the ups and downs are normal. "

Su Miaomiao still stared at Gu Jialing in the distance.

Xie Jingyuan tried to ask: "Then let's stop training, and continue to read books and do homework in the morning and evening?"

Su Miaomiao finally shifted her gaze to his face, thinking about the high jump in the morning and tennis in the evening, everything was more interesting than doing the questions.

"No." She pouted and refused.

Xie Jingyuan looked at her more gently.

He is very pleased that Su Miaomiao can stick to his interest and will not give up lightly because of a moment of fighting spirit.

Her personality is too special, Xie Jingyuan thinks that playing games is the most suitable "job" for her, but he hopes that Su Miaomiao himself will also like it, instead of simply accepting his arrangement.

"I'll help you review alone that weekend."

Su Miaomiao nodded, but she was still unhappy, she stared at Gu Jialing for a while, and Xu Shou for a while.

This is a bit unreasonable, but Xie Jingyuan just thinks that she still maintains a childlike heart.

"I'll buy you ice cream at noon." Xie Jingyuan promised.

Su Miaomiao thought for a while and made a request: "I want to eat two."

Of course Xie Jingyuan agreed.

Su Miaomiao was very happy when there was ice cream to eat. In the afternoon, the physics teacher explained the test papers, and when she saw the questions she had done wrong, Su Miaomiao's mood fell again.

Su Miaomiao was not happy, the worst one was Gu Jialing, he seemed to say that everything was wrong, and Su Miaomiao would always find fault with him, let's go to the Taoist priest for comment, the Taoist priest is still partial!

Fortunately, the province held a youth tennis championship in early December. Su Miaomiao went to the competition accompanied by her parents, Xie Jingyuan, and won the individual singles championship.

The organizer put on a golden medal for Su Miaomiao.

Su Miaomiao looked at the medal and smiled.

Su Mingan pressed the shutter in time and took a picture of her daughter's joy.

Several photos were developed, and one of them was given to Grandma Tao, who was proudly placed in the living room by Grandma Tao.

Gu Jialing: ...

On the day of the "Winter Solstice" solar term, it snowed in Anshi.

In the morning, it was just a small snowflake, but after the evening self-study, it had turned into heavy snow, and the wind was still blowing.

Su Miaomiao wrapped her down jacket tightly, and wore her hat tightly. She hugged Xie Jingyuan's waist while walking, and hid behind his back.

He is tall and perfectly shields Su Miaomiao from the wind.

Gu Jialing also wanted to hide behind Xu Shou, but was thrown away by Xu Shou.

Gu Jialing complained while stomping and jumping: "I just can't do it, I really miss my feathers."

What duck and goose down, how can he keep warm with his century-old **** feathers.

Xu Shou touched his face that was about to be blown stiff by the wind, and he agreed with Gu Jialing in his heart.

When he was a demon, he was fearless of cold and heat.

Xie Jingyuan just smiled lightly.

When he has cultivation, he will no longer worry about severe cold and heat, but in the years before he entered the Taoist temple, Xie Jingyuan suffered from frostbite every winter.

Ordinary people at that time could hardly even have a thick cotton coat, not to mention all kinds of down jackets for modern people.

The four of them walked out of the school with their own thoughts.

The weather was bad, Su Mingan drove to pick up the children, stood by the car and waved to the children.

Snowflakes fluttered chaotically with the wind in the halo of the street lamps, making it impossible to see Su Mingan's face clearly.

Su Miaomiao was still hiding behind Xie Jingyuan, moving over step by step.

Su Mingan stared at his daughter's hand tightly hugging Xie Jingyuan, his eyes changed again and again, and finally he didn't care about Xie Jingyuan's role as a wall for his daughter.

"It's so cold, it's so cold!"

Sitting in the car, Gu Jialing immediately hugged Xie Jingyuan, shaking and stamping his feet.

Because Su Miaomiao was stuffed with a big hand warmer by her father, she no longer competed with Gu Jialing for the leader.

"Come on, a cup of milk tea for each person."

Su Mingan turned around and handed over the still slightly hot milk tea.

"You are my real father!" Gu Jialing held the milk tea and was so moved that she was about to cry.

Su Mingan glanced at Xie Jingyuan quietly, the second child in his life who could call him Dad was probably Xie Jingyuan.

"Drink, I'll see you off tomorrow morning." Su Mingan rubbed his hands and started the car. Because of the bad road conditions, he drove very slowly. At the same time, he took this opportunity to teach the children, "The road is slippery in rainy and snowy weather, we would rather slow down Drive, and don't have an accident."

Xu Shou nodded solemnly.

Just as Gu Jialing was about to respond, she suddenly sneezed loudly.

Su Mingan: "Go home and cook some **** syrup, and wear more clothes inside. Don't think that you are young and don't take it seriously. You will feel uncomfortable when you are old."

Gu Jialing looked at Father Cat's side face, and suddenly thought of the old man at home.

His parents left early in his life, and his grandma didn't survive him to go to elementary school. For many years, it was the old man who greeted and nagged him.

Sure enough, cats are the luckiest cats, with Taoists who are eccentric, and parents who are always by their side.

Gu Jialing looked at Su Miaomiao sourly.

Su Miaomiao held a hand warmer in one hand and milk tea in the other, sucking it comfortably.

Xie Jingyuan suddenly looked over.

He wanted to recognize Su Mingan as his father, and stared at Su Miaomiao, what did Gu Jialing mean?

Gu Jialing looked at him and said in a low voice, "Master Dao, when we die in this life, can you arrange for me to be reincarnated into a family with both parents?"

Ever since reuniting with Xie Jingyuan, Gu Jialing had always believed that this reincarnation was because Xie Jingyuan did something to help the three demons reincarnate.

Xie Jingyuan didn't know how to respond.

Gu Jialing shook her head suddenly again: "Forget it, let me vote as a tit, I prefer to be a tit."

It's too miserable to be a human being, with a tuft of hair on the top of the head.

"What are you two talking about?" Su Mingan glanced back, very suspicious that Gu Jialing disliked him a lot, and a child of this age didn't know what to do.

Gu Jialing was quite clever, and sighed: "I'm saying that these down jackets are deceptive, they are not warm at all."

Su Mingan: "Not warm? Where did you buy it?"

Gu Jialing posted a sign.

Su Mingan: "This is a famous brand. You must be afraid of the cold. It's okay. You report your height to me. Tomorrow uncle will pick out Canada Goose for you. I heard that it is warm."

With a thought in his heart, Gu Jialing took out his phone and searched for "Canada Goose".

No Canada geese were found, only one species of Canada goose.

Gu Jialing frowned, and handed the screen in front of Xie Jingyuan: "I think the bird's hair is just ordinary, isn't it a gimmick?"

Xie Jingyuan was speechless.

Xu Shou turned around and said curiously, "Show me."

Xie Jingyuan: ...

Su Miaomiao said suddenly: "Bird's fur is not good, but cat's fur is the warmest."

Gu Jialing and Xu Shou both cast contemptuous looks.

Su Miaomiao asked Xie Jingyuan to make a judgment: "What do you think, the Taoist priest?"

Xie Jingyuan, who was stared at by the three monsters at the same time, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know, I only wear ordinary down jackets."

Gu Jialing: "It's a pity."

It's a pity that he didn't know that this day would come in his previous life, otherwise he would have saved up the feathers he shed to make a down jacket for the Taoist priest.

Xu Shou also thought of the poverty of Qingxu Temple, and thought of the Taoist priest's "shabby house" that didn't even light a charcoal fire.

Only Su Miaomiao defensively distanced herself from Xie Jingyuan.

Her cat fur is indeed very warm, but if Xie Jingyuan dared to make a down jacket from her fur, she would rather die than follow.

Xie Jingyuan: ...

He should continue to drink milk tea.
