Chapter 342 Excessive
Chapter 342 Excessive
Xiao Yangzhi is really good at staying at home.
After staying at home for three days, Xu Mingyuan felt a little uncomfortable, and he would walk around the yard a few times every day to breathe the cold air outside.
Even so, he couldn't stay at home. He would rather take Xiao Yangzhi out shopping.
But little Yangzhi really doesn't like going out. Every time she makes the excuse that it's too cold outside and she stays at home.
How could a diligent girl like her be so lazy that she didn't want to change clothes? She just wanted to call Xu Mingyuan back to do her homework with her.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan had already discovered that Xiao Yangzhi's mind was not completely focused on the test paper. Whenever he asked her to go downstairs for a walk or go to the toilet, when she came back, he saw that she wrote her homework almost one third faster.
At first Xu Mingyuan thought it was because he would chat with her whenever he had time. Later, she didn't say anything for a while. When he saw her again, she was still doing her homework at the same speed.
It’s not that Xiao Yangzhi doesn’t have entertainment. When she gets tired of doing homework, she will just daydream for a while, or think about some little things.
These are her usual entertainment.
Xu Mingyuan had nothing to do, so he took her test paper and did the questions. At this time, Xiao Yangzhi's efficiency was the best. As long as the test paper did not require deep thinking, she could finish a positive and negative test paper in less than 20 minutes.
Lao Gao's class has more homework than other classes, but because it is winter vacation, no matter how much homework the teacher assigns, it can be easily dealt with as long as two hours a day are spent on doing homework carefully during the 40-day vacation.
With the time Yangzhi spent on her homework every day, she could finish it in less than a week. If the Chinese language homework wasn't too long and took too long, she could finish it a day earlier.
To be honest, Xu Mingyuan sometimes admires Xiao Yangzhi. She works so hard to finish her homework just to finish the senior high school exercises. Not many people can have her perseverance.
Moreover, Xiao Yangzhi just doesn't like to think flexibly, but he is actually quite smart and is very suitable for the current exam-oriented learning environment.
If her attitude towards studying was not to complete the task, she might be able to get into a very good university. She couldn't expect to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, but she might be able to try for Fudan University or Jiaotong University.
It's a pity that Xiao Yangzhi studied just to make things difficult for Xu Mingyuan, which made him feel very uncomfortable...
Xu Mingyuan gave up the plan of taking Xiao Yangzhi out to play right now. He decided to wait until she finished her homework and then take her out of the house even if he had to tie her up.
Yang Zhi, who was also observant, also realized that Xu Mingyuan could hardly stay at home any longer.
That night, while soaking my feet in the hall, I quietly made a phone call.
"Oh, you're calling? Is it a classmate?" Xu Mingyuan asked in surprise.
Xu Mingyuan chatted with his father Xu Jun downstairs for a while, and when he came back, he saw Xiao Yangzhi on the phone. This kind of thing rarely happens. Xiao Yangzhi only makes a few calls throughout the year. When Xu Mingyuan is at home, she just calls Xu Jun a few times to ask if he will stay at home that night.
"No, I called Sister Tao Tao."
Yang Zhi hung up the phone and said with his head down.
"Why did you think of calling her?" Xu Mingyuan asked in surprise.
"I want her to help me review my textbooks..."
Yang Zhi stirred the water in the basin, spoke hesitantly, and did not look up at him.
"How many high school questions can she remember? If you really want to learn, I'll find a tutor for you." Xu Mingyuan said.
"It's better not to do that. You'll just go find her when you go out. It's better to let her come home..." Yang Zhi muttered softly.
Xu Mingyuan felt a little embarrassed and speechless.
He had to spend a lot of time persuading Tao Shuxin to behave herself for two days, but then Xiao Yangzhi was called over.
Xu Mingyuan wanted to say something, but the words just came out of his mouth and he said, "Whatever you want."
……
Tao Shuxin finally arrived at around ten o'clock the next morning.
He drove the car into the yard but didn't park it in the carport. He just took two large bags from the passenger seat.
It goes without saying that one bag contains snacks, and the other bag contains exercise books and test papers used in the senior year of high school.
When Xu Mingyuan was in his senior year of high school, he would just throw away the papers he finished after the teacher finished explaining.
But as a little girl, she would always keep some as souvenirs. The test papers that Tao Shuxin carried included not only her own, but also those done by Xu Mingyuan.
"Hey, I see you look pretty good. I asked you to come out and play, but you didn't come. How annoying." Tao Shuxin said with a pout.
"I'm dying of exhaustion. Besides, my energy is not comparable to yours. Please forgive me."
When Xu Mingyuan heard Tao Shuxin say that she wanted to play with her sisters, he would definitely not go even if he was not at home to accompany Xiao Yangzhi. It would be better for him to go around the company.
"Come on, you're just going to make excuses."
Tao Shuxin also knew that Xu Mingyuan didn't like shopping with a group of little girls, so she threw the heavy books to him and pranced into his house with a bag of snacks.
"Xiaozhizhi, does my hair look good?"
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xiao Yangzhi waiting in the living room, so Tao Shuxin trotted over and asked excitedly.
"It looks good..." Yang Zhi replied against his will.
"I just didn't have time to perm my hair. Do you have a straightening iron?"
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi frowning, Tao Shuxin explained.
"Hmm? No, how about a ruler?"
Yang Zhi had only heard girls in her class talk about straighteners, but had never seen one, so she had no idea what they were.
"Oh, it's so miserable. We are not allowed to dress up in high school." Tao Shuxin said with a sigh.
"..."
Yang Zhi really didn't have the nerve to say her hair was ugly...
Her aesthetic taste is greatly influenced by Xu Mingyuan. She doesn't like going out, but she does go out at the same time.
Every time Xu Mingyuan and I met men and women with strange hairstyles outside, Xu Mingyuan would laugh for a while, and then tell himself not to learn from those people.
Is it because my brother's taste has changed? It doesn't seem like that...
Yang Zhi was confused, but did not delve into it further.
Tao Shuxin said she came to help Xiao Yangzhi with her homework, but she mainly came to play.
The textbooks that Xiao Yangzhi used to prepare for the lessons were all Tao Shuxin's books. Whenever she encountered a question she didn't know how to answer, she would look through her class notes and would probably be able to figure it out.
After asking Xiao Yangzhi which questions she was not familiar with, Tao Shuxin turned to a math test paper she had written in her senior year of high school, cut some blank paper with a pair of scissors, and glued it to the test paper with a glue stick.
"Xiao Zhizhi, this is the test paper we did in the third year of high school. Just do it on a rough piece of paper. The answers are all below. If you don't know how to solve it, you can refer to the steps. If you encounter a problem that you really can't solve, tell me and I will teach you again."
Tao Shuxin shook the paper covered with straw paper, very satisfied with her masterpiece. There were not many girls as smart and studious as her in the school.
"Okay." Yang Zhi nodded.
It took her three and a half days, and with the help of Xu Mingyuan, she was almost done with her winter vacation homework.
Seeing that the thick stack of blank papers had been reduced to a dozen sheets, Yang Zhi was no longer as anxious as before and simply started doing high school exercises.
"Why did you move the computer outside?"
At this time, Tao Shuxin noticed the computer on the long table. He remembered that it was not there when he came last time.
"This is Xiao Yangzhi's computer." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"What about yours?" Tao Shuxin asked.
"Mine is in the room."
"Fuck, Xu Mingyuan, are you still a human being? Doesn't your sister just want to play on the computer for a while? How can you stop her from playing?"
As soon as Tao Shuxin saw the computer being moved out, she thought of the sad past when her computer was given away by her mother, and immediately blamed Xu Mingyuan.
"Why am I on guard against her?" Xu Mingyuan asked somewhat puzzled.
"You said you were not on guard, then why did you move the computer from her room to the hall? Aren't you afraid she would play with it? You are such a bad brother. When you were in school, you skipped classes and stayed up all night to surf the Internet. Your sister is so well behaved, how could she be like you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiao Yangzhi moved it out by herself. Why should I move her computer? She doesn't want to play it." Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.
"Xiaozhizhi, is that so?"
Tao Shuxin turned around and asked Xiao Yangzhi who was standing beside him.
"..."
Yang Zhi pretended not to hear and just focused on his senior high school math problems.
Yang Zhi was too lazy to explain. If she could change Tao Shuxin's attitude towards her brother and gradually create a rift between them, it would be best if she could just argue and break up...
Although the probability is very small now, the future is long, and maybe one day the corner of the wall will be dug down?
"Look, your sister has agreed."
"..."
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi remained silent, Xu Mingyuan felt a headache. He didn't know if she was thinking about something again and making him nervous.
Although the truth of some things will always come out one day, and Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi know it very well, they are just pretending to be ignorant.
With such identical moral standards, they don't seem like two different families.
What about Tao Shuxin, who has good morals and has been kept in the dark?
She was pinching her waist and scolding Xu Mingyuan for being too harsh on Xiao Yangzhi...
