Chapter 1642 Confession?

On the way to school, Zhou Chen specifically asked Qiang Xiaowa and Xiaohua not to tell anyone what had just happened, especially about his 10,000 yuan.

He was not worried about the 10,000 yuan, but was worried that if the news spread, it would be unfriendly to them. He also wanted to protect Xiaohua, after all, her parents really "sold" her.

Qiang Xiaowa and Xiaohua were full of gratitude to Zhou Chen, and of course they agreed. In fact, they, especially Xiaohua, did not want others to know about such things.

Xiaohua walked into the examination room specially prepared for her, and first bowed to Xiao Fang and Gao Feiyang very respectfully to thank them, and then sat down.

Xiao Fang looked at Xiaohua, just nodded simply, and then said "Let's start", announcing the start of the exam.

Outside the classroom, in the stairwell, Zhou Chen and several others gathered together. Cheng Miaomiao asked curiously, "Why are you so slow?"

Qiang Xiaowa glanced at Zhou Chen and saw that Zhou Chen had no intention of explaining, so he said, "Something happened and delayed me."

Cheng Miaomiao just asked and didn't care too much. She was more concerned about Xiaohua's exam.

"How is Xiaohua studying? Are you sure you can pass this exam?"

"Hua'er studies very hard, and her foundation is also there. I think as long as she doesn't perform badly, she should be able to pass."

Qiang Xiaowa has confidence, but not enough. After all, exams are like this, on-the-spot performance also accounts for a part of the factor.

Today's exam will be taken for one day, for each subject, but some are taken together.

After one day of exams, Xiaohua was still uneasy. After Xiao Fang collected all the test papers, he told Xiaohua to go back and wait for news. After they corrected the test papers, they would also study whether to agree to enroll, how to enroll, etc.

Although it was just one student quota, the oilfield school still needed to study it. After all, Xiaohua was not a resident of the oilfield base, so they also needed to ask for permission from the higher authorities before they could accept her as a student.

However, the process was not long. In just two days, Xiao Fang notified Xiaohua and told her that she had passed the exam and could come to Lin No. 7 Second Middle School to report for class next Monday, in Class 1 of Senior 1.

"That's great."

Upon learning the result, everyone was overjoyed, and then a group of friends gathered at Qiang Xiaowa's house to celebrate for Xiaohua.

Xiaohua was so excited that tears came out, and she kept thanking everyone.

"Sister Miaomiao, Brother Si, Sister Xiaomin, thank you for always helping me and supporting me, thank you."

Cheng Miaomiao and the other two laughed, saying that it was all right. Everyone was good friends and should help each other.

At the beginning, they helped Xiaohua because they saw that Xiaohua was very pitiful, but after getting along with her, they found that Xiaohua was indeed a simple and honest little girl, and they all wanted to help her sincerely.

"Xiaohua, you don't have to thank us. Everyone in the entire Linqi Oilfield knows that Li Si and Miaomiao are the most enthusiastic people in the entire Linqi No. 2 Middle School, haha..."

"Thank you, Brother Si."

Li Si, Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin all helped Xiaohua with her exams, giving books, notes, stationery and pencil cases, etc.

To celebrate Xiaohua's admission to Linqi No. 2 Middle School today, Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin even sent her school uniforms and other items.

"Xiaohua, these are my and Huzi's school uniforms, desks, and stationery, although they are all old..."

Xiaohua bowed to them with great gratitude before Cheng Miaomiao finished speaking.

"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao, thank you, Sister Xiaomin."

She didn't have such a strong self-esteem as Qiang Xiaowa. When Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin sent her clothes, she was just grateful because she could see that they were all helping her sincerely.

Now being able to go to school is what she has always dreamed of. Without money, her parents don't care about her. She can only be grateful and touched that someone gave her these necessities.

Xiaohua finally thanked Zhou Chen very solemnly.

"Brother Chen, the person I want to thank the most is you. If it weren't for your help, I would definitely not be able to go to school. I know I can't help you with anything now, but don't worry, I will study hard, get into a good university in the future, find a good job, and then repay you, and give you all the money I earn..."

Listening to Xiaohua's sincere thanks to Zhou Chen, and saying so many promises, such special treatment made Cheng Miaomiao and the other two look confused.

"Xiaowa, did something happen between Xiaohua and Zhou Chen that we don't know about?"

Qiang Xiaowa looked at Zhou Chen at a loss, not knowing what to say, but Zhou Chen smiled and comforted Xiaohua first, then nodded at Qiang Xiaowa, and Qiang Xiaowa told everything that happened that day.

After hearing the whole story, Cheng Miaomiao and the other two were stunned. They didn't expect so many things to happen that morning.

Li Si gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up: "Awesome, I, Li Si, have never been convinced by anyone since I was a child, but I am really convinced by you."

"Of course, after all, I am your father's sworn brother, your uncle."

"Zhou Chen, you will die if you don't mention this."

Li Si was furious and turned his face in an instant, causing several people to laugh uncontrollably.

…………

Xiaohua successfully joined Lin No. 72 Middle School and became a freshman in Lin No. 72 Middle School. She was assigned to Class 1, Grade 1, the same class as Cheng Yaya and others, led by Han Shu.

Xiaohua's joining, although it caused as much controversy as Yuan Shanqing's transfer to this class, was also very surprising. Fortunately, with the help of Cheng Yaya and Yuan Shanqing and Han Shu, she quickly integrated into the class.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and winter soon came. Going to school in the morning in winter was a kind of torture for students. There were many more students who were late every morning than usual. Even if the school repeatedly issued orders, it still could not solve the problem of lateness.

Now Zhou Chen and his four-person group who went to school together also found it difficult to go to school together every day. Either he got up late today, or she stayed in bed. In short, they got up and went to school by themselves without waiting for others.

In the afternoon physical education class, Zhou Chen's class happened to go to the same class as the first grade class.

Zhou Chen played basketball with Li Si to warm up, and then wandered around the playground alone. While wandering, Xiaohua suddenly ran over with something in her hand.

"Xiaohua."

"Brother Chen, this is for you. I knitted it myself. I wonder if you like it."

Looking at what Xiaohua handed over, it turned out to be a pair of gray knitted gloves. Zhou Chen did not refuse. He took it and put it on his hands.

"Not bad, the size is right and it is very warm. Thank you, Xiaohua, you are really clever."

He knew that Xiaohua was trying every means to repay him. If he refused, it would definitely make Xiaohua uncomfortable and think that he looked down on her gift.

Hearing Zhou Chen's exaggeration, Xiaohua immediately showed a happy smile.

"It's good that you like it. Next time I will knit a scarf for you. Brother Chen, what color do you like?"

Zhou Chen said tactfully: "Xiaohua, thank you for your gloves, but the scarf is not necessary. I don't like wearing scarves. It's troublesome."

"Oh, so, then Brother Chen, if you need anything, you can tell me. As long as I can do it, I can help you."

Xiaohua is not very thoughtful. Since Zhou Chen doesn't like it, she won't knit it, but she still wants to help Zhou Chen do something.

"I don't lack anything, and I don't need anything. How are you doing in school recently?"

"Very good. Cheng Yaya and Yuan Shanqing are helping me. If I don't understand something, I'll ask them. They're very nice."

"How about your life? How are your food and drink expenses?"

"It's all good. I go fishing with Xiaowa and Grandpa Qiang after school and on weekends. I can get some money from selling fish. I don't eat much on weekdays. I don't have to spend money living in my own house, so I don't spend much."

The child living in the fishing village, although a girl, is no stranger to fishing. She can go fishing with Qiang Xiaowa and others to earn some living expenses. As for where to live, her house is now unoccupied, and she is alone, so she doesn't have to worry about housing.

"Well, if you need anything, if you are short of anything, just tell us, we will help you."

"Thank you, Brother Chen, I know."

Xiaohua smiled brightly, changed into a school uniform, and took care of herself. She gradually revealed the youthfulness of a girl. She was no longer as inferior and shy as before, and looked much more cheerful.

Although he helped Xiaohua to complete his side quest at the beginning, Zhou Chen was also happy to see Xiaohua's happy look now. He would naturally be happy to do good things and help those in need.

Giving gloves was just the beginning. Later, Xiaohua would come to Zhou Chen every once in a while, but most of the time it was after school, outside the school, sometimes sending some food she made herself, sometimes sending some seafood caught by fishing, and they were all delivered to Zhou Chen's home in person, so that Zhou Chen's uncle and aunt knew about Xiaohua's existence.

After school that day, Qiang Xiaowa told Zhou Chen to wait a moment, and Xiaohua would have something for him later.

So Zhou Chen waited in the classroom for a while. After everyone else left, Xiaohua quickly came to their class with her schoolbag on her back and took out a large bag of dried fish in a plastic bag from her schoolbag.

"Brother Chen, this is the dried fish I specially dried. I specially selected it for you. Take it back and eat it with your uncles and aunts."

Winter is very suitable for drying dried fish, and as a fisherman who lives by the sea all year round, he is also very experienced in drying dried fish. Zhou Chen took a look and found it to be very good.

"Xiaohua, you don't have to think about me every time. You can sell these."

"It doesn't matter, and it won't sell for much money. This is specially made for you. There are still some at home. I will give them to Sister Miaomiao and others after they are dried."

"Okay, thank you, Xiaohua."

What else can Zhou Chen say? He can only put the dried fish away and put it in his schoolbag to take home.

"Let's go, let's go home."

As soon as Zhou Chen and Xiaohua walked out of the classroom, they saw Han Shu passing by the classroom.

Han Shu saw Xiaohua and asked, "Li Chunhua, it's been so long since school, why haven't you gone home yet?"

"Teacher Han, I'm going home now."

Seeing the head teacher, Xiaohua seemed rather reserved.

"Well, it's getting dark, so you should go back early, and be careful on the way back."

"I see, Teacher Han, bye."

"Zhou Chen, wait a minute, come with me to the office, I have something to ask you."

After Han Shu finished speaking, she took a step and walked straight to the office. Seeing this, Zhou Chen said to Xiaohua, "You should go back first, Xiaowa is waiting for you at the school gate."

Xiaohua said goodbye to Zhou Chen, then left with her schoolbag on her back.

Zhou Chen came to the office and saw Han Shuzheng sitting on the chair with her arms folded. There was no one else in the office except her.

"Teacher Han."

Han Shu looked at Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen could clearly see the emotion in her eyes.

"You have a very good relationship with Li Chunhua. She doesn't go home after school and even gives you things. I heard that she gives you gloves and food. Are you guys having puppy love? Isn't school? Do you know that puppy love is allowed?”

Hearing that Han Shu even talked about puppy love with such a serious tone, Zhou Chen's expression also became serious.

"Puppy love? No, I just helped Xiaohua a little bit before and she just thanked me. It has nothing to do with puppy love."

"Really? It's just a little help. She will often give you things and gloves?"

Han Shu actually heard about this from others, but was not sure. She happened to see it today, so she asked Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said: "It's true that I helped her. She only gave me things to thank me. As for puppy love, it doesn't exist at all. I won't fall in love prematurely. Even if I want to fall in love with someone, I will wait until after the college entrance examination."

"Do you really think so?"

"certainly."

Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously: "This is the right way to think. The college entrance examination is the most important turning point in life. The most important thing in this period is the college entrance examination. Don't think about anything else, let alone fall in love prematurely. It will only delay learning.”

"Yes, Teacher Han is right. I listen to Teacher Han. You will never fall in love before the college entrance examination. Even if you do, you have to wait until after the college entrance examination."

"Um?"

Han Shu's expression changed, and then she persuaded her earnestly: "Zhou Chen, you are still young, even after the college entrance examination. The person you are dating is a lifelong matter, and you cannot make a blind decision."

She didn't realize at all that as a substitute teacher, she didn't actually need to talk to a student about this. But when facing Zhou Chen, she couldn't help but care and pay attention, so she didn't regard herself as Zhou Chen's teacher at all.

Similarly, Zhou Chen did not regard Han Shu as his teacher. In addition, there were only two of them here, so he gradually spoke more freely.

"What Teacher Han said is that of course we cannot blindly decide on this kind of thing, but I have already made a decision. I will not think about these things again until the college entrance examination is over. To be honest with Teacher Han, I actually don't like naive girls. I like someone who is more mature, and they say that a female junior should hold gold bricks, and I want to hold two gold bricks.”

After saying that, his bright eyes stared at Han Shu closely.

Han Shu didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant at first, but after looking at Zhou Chen's strange expression and extension, her face suddenly turned red after careful consideration.

A female junior, holding a gold brick, two gold bricks, isn't she six years older, and isn't she just over six years older than Zhou Chen.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly became a mess, she could no longer stay calm, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

"You're a high school student, so you don't feel ashamed to say this. It's getting late and it's already dark outside. You should go home quickly. I'm going to eat too."

After saying that, she started packing up the books in a panic, acting like she was very busy.

Seeing her reaction, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said nothing more. The reason why he said this today was to reassure Han Shu, because Han Shu called him here to talk, and because he saw the relationship between him and Xiaohua. The relationship seems to be different.

He does have a certain fondness for Han Shu. If he has to choose someone to be with, he will definitely choose someone he is familiar with and someone he likes, and he will not be shy about this kind of thing.

It's just that he is a student after all, and Han Shu is a teacher. He doesn't want to trouble the honest Han Shu because of these things, so he said that even if he wants to fall in love, he will have to pass the college entrance examination, because after that they will It's no longer a teacher-student relationship, so we don't have to worry so much anymore.

He knew that Han Shu must have understood what he meant, that's why she seemed so flustered. Now that she understood, his purpose had been achieved.

"Then, I'll go back first. Goodbye."

Han Shu waited for Zhou Chen to leave the office and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought of what Zhou Chen had just said and her face turned redder.

She didn't know what kind of demon she was obsessed with. The less she wanted to think about it, the more she would think about it. She did see Li Chunhua and Zhou Chen getting very close, and she felt unhappy, so she deliberately put it in her head. Zhou Chen called over, but who knew that after Zhou Chen came, he would explode such a big thunder for her, which directly messed up her mind.

But thinking about what Zhou Chen just said, she really felt much calmer.
