Chapter 51

After sending Jiang Qihuai away, Tao Zhi felt as if he was ashamed.

Tao Xiuping probably saw the white sneakers when he came back, so he suddenly came to her room for a sudden inspection. She realized that she was acting perfectly at that time and there was no mistake.

Tao Xiuping's reaction was also very natural, without revealing a trace of flaws, which made Tao Zhi unable to judge. He knew nothing about this.

If he really found out, he should go directly to her room to find someone, but Tao Xiuping didn't. After asking a few questions, he left quietly.

For some time afterwards, Tao Zhi was secretly observing Tao Xiuping's reaction.

Lao Tao still did whatever he should do. After returning home, he had dinner and worked, and chatted with her and Ji Fan for a few words. He did not mention the incident of Saturday's 43-size white sneakers.

Even when talking to him Tao Zhi, there was no indirect question about the progress of the little beast she had secretly crushed in.

The enemy was not moving, Tao Zhi couldn't help but move. During dinner, she picked up a shrimp into a bowl. She didn't want to get her hands dirty, so she poked the shrimp head with chopsticks and slowly peeled it. She said inadvertently while peeling it: "Jiang Qihuai of our class participated in a national Olympic math competition some time ago."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fan and Tao Xiuping both raised their heads.

Ji Fan rolled his eyes silently, feeling that this person used "our class" Jiang Qihuai, instead of "our family" and was quite restrained.

"Our teacher said yesterday that it seemed that he had achieved a very good result," Tao Zhi continued, "the school would publicly praise him on Monday."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tao Xiuping and did not let go of any clues on his face.

Tao Xiuping nodded and showed a look of praise: "Then this kid is very outstanding."

“…”

Tao Xiuping sighed, his eyes suddenly became deeper, and he began to recall the past: "When I went to school, everyone was studying hard, but they didn't know what competition to participate in? If I had participated in that year, I would have been able to come back with the first one or more."

No drops of water.

Ginger is still spicy.

Tao Xiuping is the real agent.

He is indeed a man who started from scratch and went from nothing to the present day.

Taozhi is willing to accept the disadvantage.

-

After December, the weather became more and more cold. At the beginning of the month, it snowed lightly, and the body temperature felt that it dropped by two or three degrees every few days.

By mid-December, Tao Zhi's autumn pants began to become less useful. She rummaged through the boxes and put out the cotton pants she wore in winter from the bottom of the wardrobe.

Girls of this age don’t like to wear thick pants. As soon as they get thicker, their legs look bloated and not good-looking.

Fortunately, the school uniform and trousers are wide, so I can’t tell anything.

Because Christmas is approaching, the class that was originally a bit boring, which revolves around test papers and study every day has become active again.

Li Shuangjiang and Zhao Mingqi were punished by Wang Er before, and went to his office every day to write mathematical formulas. However, they were quiet for less than half a month, and they began to get restless and ready to make some trouble.

It's Thursday on Christmas Day, and I have to go to class and I can't go out to play, so I can only spend it at school.

On Christmas Eve the night before, Li Shuangjiang discussed with Tao Zhi whether to have some entertainment activities.

[Li Shuangjiang]: This is only once a year on Christmas!

Tao Zhi didn't understand his brain a little, and typed: [Boss Li, all the festivals in this world are only once a year.]

[Li Shuangjiang]: That's different. Christmas is the second Children's Day. We are old and young, so we can have it.

Tao Zhi thought about it, and this is the same.

She actually doesn't like these messy festivals very much. When she was young, she might like to join in the fun. When she grew up, she didn't even want to join in the fun.

Although Tao Xiuping will try his best to spend some very important traditional festivals to accompany her, there are many times when he cannot come back.

Tao Zhi ate mooncakes alone, Lantern Festival alone, and ordered an alarm clock for the early morning. He got up at dawn. Then he went out to the breakfast shop to buy two tea eggs and white rice dumplings wrapped in candied dates, and ran to the riverside for a walk to watch the dragon boat.

Last year, she was too lazy to leave like this, so she simply slept until noon, and did whatever she should do.

But Li Shuangjiang and Zhao Mingqi were both very active. Even Fu Xiling has become active these days. The day before, he gave them an apple wrapped in beautiful colored paper.

Apart from her, the only person who is not affected by the festive atmosphere is probably Jiang Qihuai.

With such a calm and unpredictable situation, Tao Zhi felt that she really deserved to be the man she liked.

-

On Christmas Day, Tao Zhi not only brought a big bag to school, but also brought a big bag.

Wang Fanzi also clearly felt the restlessness of the children, and they were not so active in answering questions in class. After Li Shuangjiang turned to Tao Zhi and Fu Xiling and was called to the blackboard to write two questions, Wang Fanzi finally said: "You kids like to celebrate foreign festivals. What is the best Christmas? It's someone else's New Year, not our New Year. Li Shuangjiang, you are not right on the blackboard. There is also the homework you handed in today. I'll leave half the formula for me to push it for you? Can you still get 140 in math? "

Li Shuangjiang stood on the podium and bent over and said with a grimace when he turned around and turned his back to Wang Fanzi.

The last class was self-study as usual. As soon as the bell rang, half of the people in the class were instantly empty, and students from other classes followed one after another in the corridor.

Li Shuangjiang and the others sat down and didn't move. When they turned around, they found that Tao Zhi was gone.

Li Shuangjiang: "What about the boss? We agreed to celebrate Christmas together."

"She went out to buy something," said Ji Fan, "let you play for yourself for a while."

"Okay." Li Shuangjiang was waiting for everyone in the classroom to be exposed.

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Qiming, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the teacher's office, came in from outside and stood at the door and saluted: "Report! Lao Wang has withdrawn!"

Li Shuangjiang stood up ready to greet Zhao Mingqi, and took out a lot of things from the belly of the table: "Old Zhao, the work has started."

Basically, it was full of small rags for decoration, colorful Christmas balls, small snowflakes made of foam sticking to the plastic, and he pulled out like strings of small lantern beads and hung around the blackboard.

They don’t plan to go out to play this year, and they have to spend Christmas in the classroom, saying that this is more atmosphere.

Fu Xiling happened to be on duty today and was responsible for asking for class keys from the Discipline Inspection Commission. She is usually obedient and clever, unlike those boys who make trouble every day. The Discipline Inspection Commission is also very happy and gave it to her directly.

Fu Xiling and Jiang Zhengxun drew a big Q-version Santa Claus with colorful chalk on the blackboard. Li Shuangjiang turned his head while hanging colorful balls on the air conditioner. Seeing Ji Fan slumping on the chair and playing with his cell phone like an old man, he also greeted him: "Brother Fan, put the snowflakes on the window."

Ji Fan put away his cell phone, glanced at the person sitting next to him, pointed his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you let him do work?"

Li Shuangjiang didn't look back and waved his hand, very leader-like: "Brother Huai, I've come here, do some work."

Ji Fan walked to the window with a bag of snowflakes and raised an eyebrow at him: "Doctor-in-law, let's help?"

Jiang Qihuai: "..."

When Tao Zhi came back, the classroom had been almost arranged.

The eyes were full of red and white, and there was a small Christmas tree on the podium, covered with pine cones and colorful strings of lights.

Tao Zhi was carrying two bags in her hand, and the weight seemed to be quite light. She put the bag on the table with a "bang" and began to take things out.

A box of frozen fish balls, a box of shrimp dumplings, two large boxes of mutton rolls and fat beef rolls, lunch meat, crab sticks, a bag of red shrimp, mushrooms, fat beef powder, quick frozen shrimp slips, bean skin, and a Chinese cabbage.

Hotpot base, mahjong dipping sauce, chili oil, and disposable bowls and cups.

A group of people watched her tricks and pulled out like this. Finally, Tao Zhi walked to her table, lifted the bag on the corner of the table, took out an electric cooking pot and a very long drag board from it.

Everyone: "..."

Li Shuangjiang was stunned: "Boss, this is what you said last night, so you can prepare it?"

Tao Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at him for granted: "What should I eat if I don't eat hot pot in the middle of winter?"

Jiang Qihuai never thought that Tao Zhi would move the hot pot to the classroom. He thought she could order takeout at most.

Ji Fan, the only one who knew, had already put together several desks, laid a layer of disposable dining tablecloth, and pulled the wire board over to plug in the electricity.

Tao Zhi poured a large bottle of mineral water in, then took apart the hot pot base, pointed to the big cabbage on the table and looked at Jiang Qihuai: "Don't be idle either, go wash the cabbage."

“…”

Jiang Qihuai was silent for a while, and then he obediently picked up the cabbage.

Brother Huai washes cabbage!

Brother Huai washes cabbage!

Li Shuangjiang was in high spirits and immediately raised his hands and said actively: "I'll go too!"

At this moment, there was no one in the teaching building, and the water room was quiet. Li Shuangjiang watched Jiang Qihuai tear off the cabbage leaves one by one and wash them, and then put them in a clean bag next to him. He moved skillfully and quickly, as if he often did this.

Li Shuangjiang was amazed at the sight.

When they came back from washing, the hot pot was already on, and the spicy and fresh smell was soaring to the tip of their noses that it overflowed throughout the classroom.

Tao Zhi dragged the chair and sat at the table. Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw Jiang Qihuai carrying a bag of cabbage, and patted the seat next to him with a smile: "Come and grab the meat."

Jiang Qihuai walked over, put down the cabbage in his hand, and sat next to her.

Because I had to attend classes the next day, and whether I was at school or to be more restrained, Zhao Mingqi went to buy coke and orange juice and poured it on one cup after another.

Fu Xiling put all the fish balls and shrimp dumplings bought by Tao Zhi into the pot. Halfway through eating, night fell.

The lights turned off, and in the night, the strings of lights arranged in the classroom looked like small stars falling, and snowflakes stuck to the window one by one. Santa Claus's white beard was hidden under her white beard.

In the classroom, Jiang Zhengxun and Zhao Mingqi were snatching the fat cow in the pot. The two of them had disposable chopsticks hanging above the pot to play chess, fighting hard.

Li Shuangjiang took out his cell phone and played a Christmas song. Then he raised his disposable paper cup containing Coke and stood up: "Brothers, for our passing youth."

His cheeks were red and his eyes were bright.
