Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

With the help of Chen Xuyan, Guan Qing's grades have finally improved. Although he hasn't had time for the final exam yet, he has passed the weekly physics tests. Such results have given him some confidence to face the final exam.

The head teacher rejected his request to change dormitories. He said that dormitories are fixed, and if he changed, others would definitely follow suit. Then everyone would not be able to focus on studying, but would be thinking about changing dormitories all day long.

The head teacher asked him to overcome difficulties and adapt to the environment, and told him that he would have to learn to overcome the environment when he entered society in the future. Now he should regard it as adapting in advance, which will be beneficial to his future development.

Guan Qing could tell that the other party clearly didn't want him to change dorm rooms, but now he wanted to leave but couldn't, so he had to listen to him spout a bunch of useless nonsense. If he could roll his eyes now, Guan Qing would have already rolled them to the sky.

I don't know why Qin Huai was so desperate to move into the dormitory. He had his family take his dirty clothes home from the school gate, wash them, and then send them back. He spent all day in the dormitory complaining about the poor living conditions in No. 1 Middle School, the bad food, the old classrooms, the drafty windows, and the fact that his dormitory didn't even have a water heater like his family did.

But when someone asked him why he didn't go home, he stared at the person with a gloomy face. After that, no one mentioned this issue again, but no one responded to him either.

Qin Huai seems to have behaved a lot more honestly recently, and it can be seen that he is trying his best to restore the image he lost some time ago. However, the closer the final exams get, the more Chen Xuyan feels that something is going to happen because he is too calm.

Guan Qing also thought so. He did not dare to relax his observation and vigilance against Qin Huai at all.

The weather was getting colder, and after two light snowfalls the temperature had stabilized at around minus ten degrees Celsius. While riding a bicycle on the road, Chen Xuyan felt like he was floating until he fell.

During this period, Chen Xuyan walked to and from school. This also had an advantage: by the time he reached school or home, his whole body was warm and he seemed to be less afraid of the cold.

The Chen Xu family had been working overtime recently, as the Lunar New Year was approaching and the factory was swamped with orders, keeping them busy. So, the task of picking up and dropping off Chen Xuyan fell to Chen Xuhao. But the weather was so bad he felt a bit overwhelmed just from leaving the house, and only after walking a distance did he start to feel better.

Chen Xuhao still admires Chen Xuyan very much. Studying is really not an easy thing, and he definitely cannot bear this hardship.

Every morning, he would wake up at 6:30. He would walk until 6:00 a.m., and finish his evening study at 10:30 p.m., then wash, clean up, and eat. If it was early, Chen Xuyan would start his homework at 11:30. If it was late, he would start at 11:30 and finish his homework until around 1:00 p.m.

Most of Chen Xuyan's homework had already been done at school. Chen Xuhao didn't dare to imagine how late it would take him to finish it if he finished slowly. Even if he stayed at the hotel, he felt that it would not save much time.

The final exams are coming up soon. After the exams, I will have two and a half days of rest and then I will have to continue with tutoring. This tutoring will last until the winter vacation after the Little New Year, and school will start again on the fifth or sixth day of the New Year.

Finally, Chen Xuhao couldn't help but sigh that life is really not easy for students nowadays.

"This is too much." Chen Xujia, who was always silent, watched Chen Xuyan take out the test papers and go through them one by one. This made Chen Xujia, who originally thought that he might be able to get into a better university if he continued studying, unable to hold back. He suddenly realized that even if he continued studying, he might not be able to get into a good school.

Chen Xuxing, who had gone home to rest because it was cold, also shook his head. "It's better to work hard. Only knowledge can change your destiny. I'm sure I'll be much more successful than us in the future."

Chen Xuxing's break lasted over a month. The cold weather meant he couldn't drive, so he decided to stay home until spring. Chen Yishan and Xu Mengya agreed. He'd been out and about all year, eating poorly and wearing poorly. He needed to make the most of the time to catch up.

Xu Mengya cooks for them in different ways every day within her ability.

Seeing how surprised they were, Chen Xuhao said that they were still inexperienced. When he met Chen Xuyan, he saw some students reciting a palm-sized book while walking. Chen Xuyan said that some students were studying while eating and going to the toilet.

He no longer thinks it is an exaggeration because he has seen it so many times.

Chen Yishan's time for moving goods has recently changed to daytime, so he decided to pick up Chen Xuyan with Chen Xuhao in the evening.

"Forget it, Dad. You should just rest at home. It's so rare that you don't have to work in the middle of the night." Chen Xuyan felt that he was working too hard.

Chen Yishan smiled. His son seemed to be worried about him. "It's okay. I can't sleep. I'm used to this time of night. I feel uncomfortable if I don't walk around at night."

Although he turned and looked at Chen Xuhao, "Just rest at home for a while."

Chen Xuhao nodded. It was cold and he really didn't want to leave the bed. He also didn't want to go out to set up the stall. He might as well take a rest like his elder brother. After all, he wouldn't be hungry at home.

Chen Xuyan couldn't persuade him.

Before he had time to chat for a while, Chen Yishan pulled a few brothers out of Chen Xuyan's room and went to his own room to avoid disturbing him from doing his homework.

After cleaning up, Xu Mengya returned to her room. Her hands used to be immune to frostbite, but for some reason, they'd been covered in chilblains every winter. Add to that the constant contact with water and detergent from washing dishes, and the chilblains and small cuts on her hands never healed.

It was painful and itchy, so she would come back every night and soak in hot water for a long time before it felt a little better.

"Mom, you might as well quit. Now my brother, dad and I can help pay off the family debts, Xiaohao can take care of himself, and we have enough money at home." This job is not an easy one. Usually there are few people, but when the boss is reluctant to hire anyone, Xu Mengya has to do everything. She can even do the cleaning and cooking. Chen Xuxing thinks the boss is not fair.

Xu Mengya nodded. "My boss keeps adding more work, but my salary isn't increasing. I really want to change jobs after I finish this year."

Chen Xuxing said, "Our factory is hiring for some positions at the beginning of the year. You can come and take the test when the time comes. The test will involve recognizing some simple uppercase and lowercase English letters. You just need to be able to read and write them, and there will be some simple calculations."

"Can I do it?" Xu Mengya still didn't believe she could find a good job.

"Are you kidding? Look at your sons, they are all so smart. Let's not talk about anything else, look at Xiaoyan, you have given birth to such a smart son. Isn't it easy for him to learn such a few things? Besides, it's not difficult, you can definitely do it." Chen Xuhao was able to get in all the time, but he felt that repetitive work was meaningless and he was not willing to do it.

Chen Yishan laughed, "Boy, are you praising your mother or yourself?"

"Of course I praise everyone. Without my mother, there would be no me." Chen Xuhao said with pride.

Everyone in the room laughed out loud at his amusement.

Chen Xuyan was also attracted by the sound, so he asked 001 to transmit the previous image to him to see what happened.

Xu Mengya was persuaded and quit her job the next day.
