Gu Mian deliberately took a day off to play with Xiao Huajian. Bai Xiaoshan originally wanted to give her two days off, but she refused.

The milk tea shop is quite busy recently, it is not appropriate to take a day off, and it is even more excessive to take a two-day break.

Bai Xiaoshan is a nice person, but Gu Mian knows that her kindness is not the reason for her to push forward.

So in the next few days, there was a handsome male clerk in the "Time" milk tea shop.Because of this reason, the business of the milk tea shop has been booming for a while.

Looking at the shy or fiery eyes of the girls who came to buy milk tea, Gu Mian couldn't help feeling in her heart: Sure enough, fat people are all potential stocks.

Xiao Huajian left on July 30th. Gu Mian sent him to the station and watched him get on the train.

Xiao Huajian was full of reluctance, and when he got into the car, he poked his head out and shouted: "Mianmian, you must remember to call me, you must remember!"

Gu Mian laughed and scolded: "Got it, how many times have you said it's annoying! Put your head back, it's not Chinese New Year yet, and there's no need to kill pigs."

Xiao Huajian retracted his head in aggrieved way: "Master Mian, you are so fierce."

Gu Mian said domineeringly: "If I am not fierce, how can I be your master."

The car started slowly, Xiao Huajian turned his head to look at Gu Mian, reluctant to part: "Mianmian, I will come back to see you during the winter vacation, goodbye."

Gu Mian waved her hand, her nose a little sore: "Goodbye."

After Xiao Huajian left, Gu Mian's life returned to normal.She works in a milk tea shop during the day, and prepares high school textbooks with Mu Jin when she returns home at night.

The textbooks were found by Xiao Yao, and Mu Jin just casually mentioned that she wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to preview the high school courses in advance, so she found the whole set of textbooks, and asked Mu Jin to ask her anytime she didn’t understand something. .

——Even after graduation, she still has a complete preference for this class representative.

The busy days always pass quickly, and the summer vacation is coming to an end in a blink of an eye.

After work on August 29th, Bai Xiaoshan called Gu Mian to the back room and gave her a red envelope: "This is your salary for this month, school will start soon, you don't need to come tomorrow, go back and prepare for the start of school." s things."

Gu Mian held the red envelope which was obviously thicker than last month, and asked, "Sister Xiaoshan, are you taking too much?"

"Not much, you have done a good job and there is your bonus in it."

"But……"

"Don't be so, you can take it if I give it to you." Xu Yiwen interjected, "Your sister Xiaoshan is a little rich woman now, so you don't need this little money."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Xiaoshan pushed Xu Yiwen, and then said to Gu Mian, "The business of the milk tea shop is very good this month, and the turnover has doubled compared to last month. You have been busy for a month, and it is reasonable I should give you some bonus. Take it, you deserve it."

Bai Xiaoshan said it for this sake, and Gu Mian no longer evaded: "Thank you, sister Xiaoshan."

"I should thank you for helping me so much." Bai Xiaoshan said to Gu Mian, "If you need it during winter and summer vacations, you are welcome to continue to work with me part-time."

She paused, then said with a smile: "Of course, I hope you don't have this need. As a student, you should concentrate on doing what a student should do."

Gu Mian understood the meaning of Bai Xiaoshan's words, she was trying to persuade her to study hard and not refuse to use Gu Zeyang's money for the so-called "face".

During the two months of getting along, Bai Xiaoshan got to know the situation of Gu Mian's family more or less.She knew that she had a "dad" in city A who would give her living expenses on a regular basis, and she also knew that she didn't want to accept her father's money.

But even knowing all this, she did not use her capacity as an "adult" to persuade Gu Mian to "don't be stupid".Because she knew that it would definitely aggravate Gu Mian's rebellious psychology.

She just infiltrated the truth to Gu Mian little by little in her daily life, trying to guide her to avoid "detours".As for the final choice, that is still Gu Mian's own business.

This is also what Gu Mian particularly likes about Bai Xiaoshan, she is transparent and not a good teacher.

Mu Jin's tutoring work ended a week ago, and the school is about to start. The parents want to take their children out for a trip, which can be regarded as a little compensation for his lack of summer vacation.

Gu Mian and Bai Xiaoshan bid farewell to Xu Yiwen, and went out to find Mu Jin with the red envelope: "Xiao Jin, let's go back."

Mu Jin stood up and picked up the milk tea on the table: "Miss Xiaoshan paid you a salary?"

"Yeah!" Gu Mian took out a corner of the red envelope and showed it to Mu Jin, "Including the bonus, it's quite a stack!"

Infected by Gu Mian's emotions, Mu Jin said with a smile, "It means you've done a good job."

Gu Mian scratched her head in embarrassment: "Let's go shopping tomorrow morning, school will start soon, I want to buy some school supplies and some new clothes."

Mu Jin responded, "Okay."

"After shopping, let's go to the barber shop. My hair is too long, so I want to cut it short." Gu Mian arranged the next day's schedule one by one, "Call Tang Weiyu and Guo Tinghuan out for dinner at noon. A meal, they have contributed so much turnover to 'Time', I will give back to old customers."

Mu Jin was amused by Gu Mian's description: "It's all up to you."

Gu Mian continued to make arrangements: "We'll eat outside at night, call grandma, it's just our family, I'll take you to a big meal."

"Okay, I'll tell grandma when I get back."

Gu Mian "hehe" smirked.

Mu Jin asked her: "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Mian looked at the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun, and smiled brighter: "It's nothing, I'm happy!"

The next morning, Gu Mian and Mu Jin went out at eight o'clock in the morning. The school supplies were bought very quickly, basically a stationery store could handle it, but the clothes were not so fast.

Mu Jin asked Gu Mian: "Where do you want to go to see clothes?"

While arranging her schoolbag, Gu Mian said, "Over there on Lingnan Road."

Mu Jin was surprised when she heard this answer.

Lingnan Road is a newly developed commercial area in the past two years. Clothes there are more expensive. Generally, they would not choose to buy clothes there.

But she didn't ask much, but nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two rode their bicycles to Lingnan Road, and when they got there, Gu Mian went straight to a well-decorated shop.

The clothes in this store look very ladylike. Mu Jin was wondering that Gu Mian had changed her style, so she saw Gu Mian picking up a floral long dress and asking her, "Xiao Jin, what do you think of this dress?" ?”

Mu Jin looked at the dress, and reminded gently: "It's good-looking, but it may not suit you."

Gu Mian gestured in front of the mirror with the skirt, and said with a natural expression: "I don't wear it, I want to buy it for my mother."

Mu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came back to her senses: "Aunt Xiao must look good in it, she is tall and suitable for wearing such a long skirt."

The clerk in the store came up at the right time and interjected: "Is my little sister going to buy clothes for my mother? Our long skirt is very elegant. If it is convenient for you, you can bring your mother over to try it on."

"My mother can't make it through," Gu Mian smiled, "Just put it on for me."

The clerk didn't expect Gu Mian to be so straightforward, and smiled: "Okay, our shop guarantees a three-day refund and seven-day replacement. If you take it back and think it's not suitable, you can come and change it, but the tag can't be removed."

Gu Mian said politely: "I know, thank you sister."

After buying the skirt, Gu Mian took Mu Jin to the next store.After entering the store, she still looked at skirts, but this time she changed to a white lace dress.

Mu Jin walked over and reminded in a low voice: "Mianmian, this might be a little short for you."

Gu Mian let out a "puchi" laugh: "What, do you think I look like a person wearing a skirt?"

She took the skirt and gestured at Mu Jin: "This is for you."

"Choose for me?" Mu Jin quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, no, I have enough clothes, so you don't need to buy them for me."

"You're here to try it out. If it's not suitable, we just don't buy it." Gu Mian didn't give Mu Jin a chance to refuse, and directly pushed the person towards the fitting room. "It's my first time. When I saw this dress, I thought it suited you very well, and you must look good in it."

Mu Jin couldn't shirk it, so she had to take the skirt into the fitting room.

What Gu Mian chose was a pure white lace dress with a round neck, bell sleeves, elastic waistband, the hem about to the knees, and lace strips spliced ​​on the skirt.

The skirt has the sexiness of a little woman, but also has a sweet girlish heart, perfectly showing Mu Jin's fair skin and good figure.

When Mu Jin pushed open the door of the fitting room and walked out, Gu Mian's pupils dilated visibly.She stared blankly at Mu Jin, as if she saw the girl who walked down the stairs with a fairy aura three years ago again.

"What's wrong? Is it inappropriate?" Seeing that Gu Mian hadn't spoken, Mu Jin tugged at the hem of her skirt a little cautiously.

"No, no, it's very suitable." Gu Mian came back to her senses and praised, "Xiao Jin, you really look good in this dress, it's just tailor-made for you."

Mu Jin was a little embarrassed by the boast: "It's not that exaggerated."

Gu Mian said sincerely: "I'm not exaggerating, I'm telling the truth."

"Sister, you really look good in this dress," the clerk came up to help, "Your skin is fair, so white suits you."

"Yeah, she looks really good in white." After showing off to the clerk, Gu Mian looked at Mu Jin with puppy-like eyes, "How about Xiao Jin, do you like it? Let's buy it."

Mu Jin hesitated: "I don't think it's necessary to buy, I don't lack clothes..."

Hearing what Mu Jin said, Gu Mian said decisively: "Then buy it, sister, please help us pretend."

After buying clothes for Mu Jin, Gu Mian bought another set of clothes for Zhang Suqin.The whole family has bought all the clothes, but she is still missing her own.

Seeing that Gu Mian had no intention of continuing shopping, Mu Jin asked her, "Aren't you going to check your clothes?"

Gu Mian said: "Don't look at it, there are no clothes I like here, I will go to the wholesale market to look after it."

"You didn't even look at it, how do you know you don't like it." Mu Jin pointed to a store opposite, "I think the clothes there are pretty nice, let's go and have a look."

Gu Mian looked at the conspicuous check mark, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Forget it, there are sportswear inside, what's so interesting about it."

Mu Jin said: "Don't you just like sportswear? Go and have a look, they're here anyway."

Under Mu Jin's insistence, Gu Mian still went into the store to take a look around.She didn't plan to buy it at all, and came out with the excuse of "I don't like it" after shopping casually.

Mu Jin didn't expose her, and said unhurriedly: "If you don't like it, let's go to other stores. There are many stores here, so you can take your time."

Gu Mian grabbed Mu Jin and said, "Forget it, Xiao Jin, it's almost eleven o'clock, and the weather is so hot, or we won't go shopping."

Mu Jin looked at Gu Mian: "But today I came out to buy clothes for you, no matter what, I have to buy a set."

Gu Mian knew Mu Jin's intentions, and also knew that Mu Jin would not give up if she didn't buy clothes today.

She felt that she had dug a hole for herself, so she had to obey Mu Jin's wishes and point to a store at random: "Then let's go to that store and have a look."

Mu Jin nodded, and walked over with Gu Mian.

As soon as she entered the store, Gu Mian regretted it. She originally thought that the store looked plain and plain, and the price would definitely not be too high.Unexpectedly, she took a piece of clothing at random, and the price was directly over a thousand.

Gu Mian hung the clothes back on the shelf, didn't try on anymore, pulled Mu Jin and walked out: "The style of this store doesn't suit me, let's go to another store."

Mu Jin followed along in a good-tempered manner, and the two of them went around for a while. In the end, Gu Mian went back to the store that Mu Jin had pointed at the beginning and bought a set of clothes - clothes with off-season discounts.

After buying the clothes, Mu Jin brought up the matter of cutting her hair again.Gu Mian had had enough tossing around, so she found a nearby barber shop and walked in.

The clerk from the barber shop came up to him and asked lazily, "Do you two want a perm or a haircut?"

Gu Mian said, "I'll cut my hair."

The clerk pointed to the reclining chair dedicated to shampooing: "Come here to wash first."

Gu Mian's hair is not long, so it washes quickly.After washing her hair, the barber held the scissors and asked her, "What kind of hairstyle do you want to change?"

Gu Mian looked at her shoulder-length hair, and said casually, "Whatever, as long as it's cool."

The barber gestured "OK" and started cutting with the scissors.

Mu Jin sat for a while, planning to go out and buy some water.She asked Gu Mian what she wanted to drink, and went out with her bag.

Gu Mian was bored sitting alone, so she simply closed her eyes and rested her mind.

The barber shop was quiet, only the "click" sound of scissors could be heard.

After about 10 minutes, the sound of "clicking" finally stopped.After finishing the final trimming, the barber removed the cloth covering Gu Mian's body: "It's all right, let's see how it goes."

Gu Mian opened her eyes, and was taken aback by the short-haired "tomboy" in the mirror: "Is this too short?"

"Is it short? I think it's suitable." The barber smoothed Gu Mian's hair on both sides, and said with satisfaction, "Cool and handsome."

Gu Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm a girl, why should I be so handsome?"

She turned around to ask Mu Jin how she felt, but found that Mu Jin was not there.Panicked, she raised her head and asked the barber: "Master, have you seen the girl who came with me?"

The barber swept the fine hair on Gu Mian's neck: "Didn't she go to buy water?"

"But it won't take so long to buy water?"

The barber said casually, "I don't know about that."

Gu Mian was in a hurry to go out to find Mu Jin, and couldn't care less about the length of her hair, so she gave the money and hurried out.

She searched around the convenience store around the barbershop first, but she didn't see anyone, so she walked further away.

She kept looking around in circles, not daring to go too far, for fear that if Mu Jin came back, the two of them would miss it.

When she was in a hurry, Gu Mian heard Mu Jin's voice from behind: "Mianmian?"

Gu Mian turned her head abruptly, only to see Mu Jin standing two or three meters behind her.She was anxious, and immediately asked, "Where did you go? Why did it take so long to buy water?"

"I went to buy milk tea. There are more people in that store, and the queue time is a bit longer." Mu Jin held a cup of milk tea in one hand and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to wait so long, and I made you worry."

Gu Mian glanced at the milk tea in Mu Jin's hand, it was her favorite brand.She lost all anger in her heart immediately, and said in a slow tone: "It's just that you are fine, 'I'm sorry' should be said to me, I shouldn't have spoken so loudly to you just now."

"No, no, I know you are in a hurry, and it is indeed my fault." Mu Jin walked over and handed Gu Mian a cup of milk tea, "Drink some water first, you must be thirsty seeing your sweating profusely. "

Gu Mian took a big sip of the milk tea and wiped the sweat from her forehead.While wiping her sweat, she remembered her new hairstyle, and asked a little shyly, "By the way, Xiaojin, do you think my hairstyle looks good? Is it a little shorter?"

"It seems a bit short," Mu Jin paused on purpose, "But your cut looks pretty good."

The tension on Gu Mian's face turned into joy, she suppressed the joy in her heart, and said modestly: "It's just too short, a bit like a boy's hairstyle."

While the two were talking, Gu Mian's cell phone rang.It was Guo Tinghuan who called. She said they had arrived at Lingnan Road and asked where Gu Mian was.

Gu Mian told her location, and confirmed the meeting place with Guo Tinghuan again.After hanging up the phone, she said to Mu Jin, "They've arrived, let's go there first."

Mu Jin nodded: "Let's go."

Gu Mian and Guo Tinghuan agreed to meet at the Chuan Chuan restaurant for lunch at noon, Guo Tinghuan and the others arrived first, and as soon as Gu Mian and Mu Jin entered the store, Guo Tinghuan waved her hands and shouted: "Master Mian, Xiao Jin, we are here .”

Gu Mian walked over with Mu Jin, and Guo Ting said excitedly: "Master Mian, your hairstyle is so handsome, I think I'm going to fall in love with you."

"Don't fall in love with me, it won't work." Gu Mian joked, and then said to a table of people, "You guys order food, order whatever you want today, I'll treat you."

"Master Mian is domineering!" Chen Xueli patted the table, "Then I'll let go and eat?"

Gu Mian said: "Eat, eat whatever you want, and if you don't have enough money, I'll just treat you here."

Chen Xueli was aggrieved: "Master Mian, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?"

Gu Mian made a "super fierce" expression: "I am so cruel."

Young people are always full of energy when they are together. Everyone eats, drinks, plays and romps until almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

Due to the hot weather and the tiredness of the people who had been shopping for a long time, Gu Mian and Mu Jin planned to go home after eating.

They made an appointment with Guo Tinghuan and the others to sign up together the next day, and then said goodbye.

On the second day, Gu Mian and Mu Jin took the materials and tuition fees required for registration and left the door early.

Zhang Suqin sent the two of them to the door, and said worriedly: "You must put the money away, there are a lot of thieves now, and they only focus on students like you stealing."

Gu Mian reassured: "Understood, grandma, I will carry the bag on my back and resolutely not give the thief any chance."

Gu Mian and Mu Jin went to the county first, because the county is relatively close, everyone unanimously decided to go to the county first.

There are quite a lot of people who sign up at this point, but there are also many payment windows.Gu Mian and his group lined up in the queue, and Guo Tinghuan praised with a "tsk tsk": "A good school is a good school. Everyone should queue up when they register."

Chen Xueli argued with her: "So you didn't get into the county because you don't like queuing?"

Guo Tinghuan patted Chen Xueli: "Damn Lili, we are going to be separated, can't you be gentle with me?"

Chen Xueli said: "I am very gentle, but you are the one who is not gentle. You are so careful that your elder brother Yu sees you, what will he do if he thinks you are too violent?"

Guo Tinghuan's face was flushed with embarrassment: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are our elder brother Jiayu, he is not from our family."

Gu Mian, who was in the other row, was taken aback by the information in their words, and asked Mu Jin belatedly: "Guo Tinghuan and Tang Weiyu? The two of them...huh?"

Mu Jin said: "Guo Tinghuan likes Tang Weiyu, don't you know?"

"What?" Mu Jin looked at Guo Tinghuan and then at Tang Weiyu, "Guo Tinghuan likes Tang Weiyu? I really don't know."

She recalled the way Guo Tinghuan and Tang Weiyu got along, and felt like that again.

Gu Mian wanted to ask again, but was distracted by another matter: "Xiaojin, do you think the person talking to Tang Weiyu is Tao Jin?"

Mu Jin glanced back: "It seems to be."

Gu Mian frowned: "Why is he here? Did he also report to the county?"

Before Mu Jin could answer, Tao Jin walked over to them: "Long time no see, Xiao Jin. I just found out that you got the third place in the city's exam. Congratulations."

With a calm expression, Mu Jin said politely, "Thank you."

Tao Jin asked, "By the way, what class are you in? I'm also in the county, maybe we're in the same class."

Mu Jin replied, "Class One."

"What a coincidence, I'm in class one." Tao Jin smiled pleasantly, "We can be classmates again in the future."

Mu Jin said indifferently: "Yes."

Tao Jin didn't care about being treated coldly, and turned to Gu Mian, "Where's Mianmian? What class are you in?"

Gu Mian's expression turned ugly: "I'm not in the county."

Tao Jin showed a surprised expression: "What? You're not in the county? Then what school are you in?"

Gu Mian said in a bad tone, "It has nothing to do with you."

Tao Jin explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to care about my old classmates. If I offend you, I will say 'sorry' to you."

Gu Mian hummed: "No need."

Tao Jin made a helpless expression, turned around and greeted Guo Ting, Chen Xueli and the others.

Because of Tao Jin's appearance, Gu Mian's heart became a little heavy, and she talked a lot less.

After registering Mu Jin and Chen Xueli, the group continued to walk towards Huaizhong.

This is Gu Mian's first visit to Huaizhong. Although she always knew that Huaizhong was not as good as the county, she still couldn't hide her disappointment when she saw Huaizhong.

——The rusty gate, the old school building.The playground is only half the size of the county, and there are girls in the school who wear heavy makeup and whistle at her and call her "handsome guy".

Looking at the vast difference between Huaizhong and the county, Gu Mian began to doubt whether his original choice was correct.In such an environment, can she really get into a good university with her own efforts?

But there was no turning back - Gu Mian looked at the admission notice in her hand - she had reached this point, even if she regretted it, she could only grit her teeth and go on desperately.
