Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 87 I did it

After lunch, Tang Qiaoning was obviously in much better condition. It was not known whether it was because she had a good sleep or because she had untied the knot in her heart. In short, her face had regained a lot of color.

Li Xu suggested that she go back and have a good rest, and continue her classes tomorrow. However, Tang Qiaoning shook her head and said, "I don't want to go back. Even though I have a nanny, it's boring to be alone."

At her strong request, Lao Liu drove them both to school in the afternoon.

But there is still one thing I don’t understand.

Li Xu also had a brief chat with Tang Qiaoning. Xiong Haiyang was not the kind of person who would spend too much energy on a girl... In short, he probably didn't have any feelings for Tang Qiaoning, who "was good for nothing except her beauty."

So why did Xiong Haiyang make him feel vaguely hostile?
……

After this incident, Tang Qiaoning felt that her relationship with Li Xu had become closer.

After the beginning of spring, the temperature gradually becomes warmer.

After a while, it was midterm.

Time passed quickly, and my daily life was still the same as when I just came back from the countryside, living the same life as a student.

Sometimes I still feel a little bored. Apart from studying, there is not much to do. However, human energy is always limited. It is impossible to maintain high-intensity brain use for a long time. If there is no adjustment, the body and mind will not be healthy.

So there will still be some entertainment.

He would ask Chen Feiyang to go karting, and occasionally bring Tang Qiaoning along. Compared to Chen Feiyang, Tang Qiaoning seemed to be more addicted. She was very excited every time she went, and she was never satisfied with just running two laps by herself. Every time she would pester Li Xu, begging him to drive fast and take her for a run.

It is worth praising that she no longer cries when riding in Li Xu's kart.

But every time he got off the car, he still felt a little scared... but gradually, this fear turned into a pleasure called excitement. Li Xu felt that this was not a good sign, and decisively rejected Tang Qiaoning's recent invitation.

In addition to occasionally racing go-karts, Li Xu recently picked up musical instruments that he hadn't touched for a long time.

He had learned piano as a child, but his father hadn't expected him to become famous...

Just wanting to give it a try and see if my son would be interested in this thing, I found a few teachers, picked out some common musical instruments, and had him try them one by one.

In my previous life, I had never touched her since the second year of junior high school.

In this life, I spend most of my time at home. When I am tired of studying and my hands itch in my free time, I try to pick it up.

The final choice was the harmonica.

The main thing is that it is easy to carry and it is not difficult to practice. Once you have practiced well the abdominal force resistance, you will feel it and your singing will become better.

It is worth mentioning that he has always been good at singing. When he was a child, he practiced sight-singing and ear-training, singing according to the music score, and soon picked up this skill.

I was just daydreaming in my free time...Is there any song that will be very popular in the future that he has created in advance...

He understands music theory, can sing, and has a relatively good sense of pitch, so this will not be difficult.

But this idea was just a thought and soon sank back into the depths of my mind.

Recently, some of Xiong Haiyang's emotions have become very obvious.

It's probably not hostility, but I can clearly feel that many times, he is competing with me openly or covertly.

For example, just now, I was chatting with someone on the balcony and casually said that Venice was not that great... He had been there, and others praised him for his knowledge. Xiong Haiyang immediately followed up with a comment about how great such and such a place was... It made people feel like "You've been there, but I've been to more interesting places..."

In addition, for example, in physical education class, the teacher asked them to run a few laps. Li Xu ran slowly but gradually to the front of the team. Xiong Haiyang would catch up from behind even if he had to grit his teeth until he surpassed him.

Things like this may not seem very significant on the surface, but if they happen enough times, people will naturally notice some clues.

Xiong Haiyang’s behavior can only be attributed to the immature competitiveness of a high school student.

Li Xu found it a little funny, but of course there was no need to argue with a child.

After the midterm exam, it can be clearly felt that the students with average or above average grades in the class have become a little nervous about studying, while the students with average or below average grades are still living a peaceful life.

At the end of this semester, the first thing we do is to be divided into classes, and the other thing that determines our fate is whether we will be promoted to Class 4 or Class 5.

It is worth mentioning that this time the promotion and demotion will not be based on the total score, but only on the ranking in the class.

That is to say, even if the last student in Class 5 scores higher than the first student in Class 3, he will still be eliminated and transferred to Class 3.

Such rules are a bit cruel...even unreasonable, but they can greatly stimulate students' enterprising spirit.

In the midterm exam, Li Xu was already ranked among the top five.

And his spoken English has also made great progress.

Several months of intensive oral and listening training have enabled him to initially form an English way of thinking. Unless it is a more professional scenario involving some uncommon words, he will be temporarily stuck. Normal communication is no longer a big problem for him.

The development of English speaking ability is more like building a framework. Repeated reading, listening, reading and blind reading are all about internalizing these expression frameworks and internalizing your subconscious reactions.

When you hear a sentence, you can automatically put it into the practiced framework and instantly respond to the meaning of the sentence.

The same principle applies to expressing a meaning. Take out the framework of the expression, and then replace individual words to get what you want to express.

Surprisingly, another student in the class, An Duoduo, had the chance to enter Class 4 or Class 5. An Duoduo's situation was a bit special; her grades weren't even in the top five of the class. However, the school stipulated that any student who had reached the national first-level athlete standard and scored over 300 points in Chinese, math, and English could be admitted directly to Class 4 or Class 5 without taking up a quota.

In terms of academic performance, it was originally difficult for An Duoduo to meet the standards, but with the help of Li Xu, her math score has stabilized at around 90 points, and she can easily break through 300 points.

In regular tests, An Duoduo has already reached a level above level two. If she performs well, she can even swim to the level one. However, according to regulations, the results of regular tests do not count. Only those results that she reaches in some special competitions will count.

There will be a swimming championship organized by the province at the end of May. If An Duoduo participates, she will be able to qualify as a national second-level or first-level athlete.

A few days later, An Duoduo took a leave of absence to prepare for the competition seriously.

Generally speaking, the days passed by uneventfully, but Li Xu no longer had the anxious feeling he had when he was just reborn.

The future is long, and we can foresee that there will be all kinds of turbulent things, but the youth time at this moment is precious.

After staying in such an environment for a long time, he even gradually lost the traces of his previous life and looked at the current things with a more delicate eye.

When Li Xu got home in the evening, he went to the study to do his homework as usual...

It is worth mentioning that there are generally a lot of homeworks in No. 9 Middle School, but the teacher focuses on assigning homeworks desperately. However, it is up to you whether to do it or not, and it is up to fate whether to mark it or not. Even if you don’t do these homeworks, the teacher will not say anything.

In fact, if you really want to finish all these homeworks, there is not enough time after class... Theoretically, these homeworks cannot be finished at all.

But Li Xu hadn't originally planned to finish all the homework for all subjects.

I now have a preference on whether to study liberal arts or science in the future.

Since the ultimate goal is to take over his father's business, when it comes to developing his own abilities, he naturally tends to become a manager.

To become a manager, there are two paths. Well-known entrepreneurs include both knowledgeable liberal arts students and science students with a technical background. Representatives of liberal arts students are Lao Liu and Lao Ma. In comparison, science students are more common... Lei Jun, Dazui...

My father’s business is technologically advanced.

You don't need to understand everything, but you should understand some basic things.

The relevant subjects are mathematics and physics, while chemistry and biology are less important.

So when Li Xu was studying, in addition to English and Chinese, he also focused on mathematics and physics.

Then it would be better to study science in the next semester.

The good news is that mathematics is now fully capable of keeping up with the progress, the bad news is that physics is not very outstanding yet.

At this time, Li Xu was doing physics problems.

Just as I was immersed in it, the study door opened and Xia Xiaohe came in with a plate of snacks.

Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao have already arranged boarding for the next semester, which is a good thing for them. Even after living here for a few months, they still feel a little restrained.

Xia Xiaohe was carrying a plate of pastries. Li Xu had never seen Aunt Zhang make this before, so he was a little surprised. He picked up one and took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy. He smiled and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xia Xiaohe blinked and said, "I just made it. Try it first."

"Don't let me eat it alone, try it too, it's delicious."

Li Xu said a few words casually and continued to do the questions.

Seeing this, Xia Xiaohe stopped disturbing Li Xu and quietly left.

When we were getting ready for dinner that evening, Aunt Zhang was still busy in the kitchen. Dad received two calls urging him to go to a dinner party. He looked at the kitchen and shook his head: "I was thinking of having a couple of bites, but forget it, you guys eat, I'll go straight over."

Li Xu thought of something and said, "Why don't you try a couple of bites of the cake Aunt Zhang made first."

"What kind of cake?"

"I made it this afternoon. Go ask Aunt Zhang if there's any left."

At this time, Aunt Zhang just brought out the first dish, and Li Xu asked, "Aunt Zhang, is there any cake left?"

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shook her head: "It's inedible, it's all thrown away...How about I make it again for you?"

That pastry was made last week, how could it be edible now?

Li Xu blinked... Can't eat so soon?
Dad shook his head: "Forget it, no need to bother."

Li Xu didn't notice that Xia Xiaohe's expression was a little unnatural.

This awkwardness continued until the end of dinner, when Li Xu noticed that Xia Xiaohe looked a little absent-minded.

After dinner, they rested for a while. As usual, they were reading English. Li Xu noticed that Xia Xiaohe seemed to be hesitant to speak from time to time, so he paused and looked at Xia Xiaohe with some amusement: "Just say whatever you want to say. What's the matter?"

Xia Xiaohe's face flushed red when she was suddenly asked this question. After a moment of hesitation, she said in a resentful tone, "I made that pastry."

Li Xu blinked: "Hmm?"
