Time flies quietly, and June has arrived in the blink of an eye.

  Dabao graduated from elementary school this year. At that time, there was no six-year system, and elementary school only had five years. Dabao was busy taking photos with a group of good friends to commemorate the occasion.

  I don't know how this "trend" started, but anyway, when kids are about to graduate, they must take a group photo with their good friends. One person, one photo, kept at home.

  Dabao borrowed ten yuan from Zhao Yuqin under this pretext.

  Nowadays, life is getting better and better every day, people's living standards have also improved gradually. Even rural people are no longer reluctant to spend tens of dollars like they used to in the past.

  Zhao 'Yu' Zhen took out money with some heartache but also with a refreshing feeling.

  Dabao smiled and walked away with a 10-yuan bill and several stones, heading to the photo studio on the street.

  After the vegetable market was built, the village also built a cement road near the vegetable market, forming a street. The vendors in the market can set up stalls on both sides of the street. Later, the village invested in building a row of houses on both sides, and some "smart" ones spent money to rent one room for business.

  Now there are many shops on the street, including barbershops and grocery stores. The photo studio is located at the end of the street, and the owner is a young man in his early twenties.

  These two days have been taking pictures of these half-grown 'hairy' kids, saying it's a graduation keepsake. The boss's wallet is bulging with exceptionally enthusiastic and thoughtful service.

  Dabao and Shitou took a photo together, and then they also took another one with several other companions.

  Dabao even specially found a 'flower' green dress from the photo studio, wore it and felt very good, posed in a golden 'chicken' independent style and took a solo photo.

  The money was almost all spent and everyone finally returned home satisfied.

  After a few days, Da Bao brought the photos back to show Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiao Ba Er Ya, saying proudly: "Look at my solo photo, how is it?"

  Zhou Xiaoyun still remembered to leave some face for Da Bao and didn't want to hurt him, so she forced herself not to laugh: "It's 'very' special."

  Dà bǎo bù lè yì; é: "Zhēn méi yǎn guāng, jiù zhǐ shì tè bié ma? Nǐ bù jué de wǒ zhè zhāng zhào de tè bié shén qì wēi wǔ ma?"

  Translation:

  "Really no taste at all, just special? Don't you think this photo of mine is particularly majestic and powerful?"

  Xiao Bao ruthlessly tore him down: "You've got a brother, and you're still so arrogant and domineering. I think that outfit makes you look like a 'flower' rooster. However, it does match your hairstyle."

  Poisonous! One shot sees blood!

  Zhou Xiaoyun 'admires' Xiao Bao's uninhibited mouth, and looks at Da Bao being angered to the point of having a red and white face, it's really 'wonderful'.

  Then, in the courtyard of Zhou's house, the old play of Dabao chasing Xiaobao all over the yard was staged again.

  Actually, if Da Bao really ran with all his might, ten Xiao Baos wouldn't be a match for him. Most of the time, Da Bao just gets fed up and scares Xiao Bao half to death.

  Otherwise, Xiao Bao's "delicate" legs and small paws would be slapped down by Da Bao's large hands, making him wail loudly!

  I don't know if Little Treasure has understood Big Treasure's unconventional care. Anyway, Little Treasure strokes the emperor's mustache and 'touches' the tiger.

  It's been a day or two, and it seems like a special affectionate relationship between brothers!

  Before long, Zhou Xiaoyun and Er Ya, who were watching the commotion next to them, heard Xiao Bao's exaggerated shouting: "Come quickly! Brother is hitting brother!"

  The two girls burst out laughing.

  The final exam is approaching, and Dabao doesn't look nervous at all. He's been even more relaxed than usual, wandering around carelessly every day. Zhou Xiaoyun asked him, "Brother, there are only a dozen or so days left before the graduation exam! Aren't you going to study seriously?"

  Dabao immediately put on an air of superiority and began to impart his experience: "You don't understand this, do you? Come, let me teach you the secret to passing the exam."

  As soon as he heard there was an exam secret, Xiaobao became interested and leaned in: "Brother, tell me too."

  The big treasure finally stopped teasing and coughed for half a day before announcing: "You need to have a good attitude when taking exams, if you're too nervous, you'll perform poorly. Listen to my brother's words, play big on the big exam and play small on the small exam."

  What a pity! I thought he could say something profound and insightful!

  "What if there's no exam?"

  Dabao smiled and said: "No need to study hard, let's play instead."

  It all boils down to playing with words, even if you get it, don't expect a pearl to come out of a pig's mouth.

  Zhou Xiaoyun was thinking about something else in her heart and didn't take the two brothers who were fooling around seriously.

  She has been thinking about this issue recently: which middle school should Dabao attend?

  There is a middle school nearby, Xingwang Middle School is just a few miles away from home, but it only has junior high and no senior high.

  In her previous life, she and her brothers and sisters all attended Xingwang Middle School for junior high school.

  Precisely because of this, Zhou Xiaoyun was even less willing to let Dabao repeat the same mistake.

  Xingwang Middle School is not far from home and convenient for school, but it does not value teaching quality at all.

  Thinking back, it was just an ordinary rural school, with relatively poor teaching conditions and faculty strength. Moreover, the learning atmosphere was not strong, and most students loved to play and had a tendency to drop out of school by the second year of junior high school.

  Dabao is one of them.

  Dropped out of school early and went wandering with a group of friends, but in the end didn't amount to anything. Isn't it all because the middle school environment was too terrible?

  Of course, it's not entirely the environment's fault. Da Bao himself is prone to fighting and causing trouble, skipping class and playing truant are all contributing factors.

  But now that Da Bao has changed a lot from before, who knows, maybe after attending a slightly better junior high school, he'll be completely transformed!

  Yes, should go give Da Bao a brain wash first.

  Zhou Xiaoyun deliberately called out to Dabao and walked with her to school, and on the way, she started talking about middle school problems.

  As expected, Dabao didn't consider the issue at all and casually replied: "What's there to think about? Just go to Xingwang Middle School! Anyway, no matter what the graduation exam scores are, Xingwang Middle School will still send out admission notices. So, I think it doesn't matter how much you score on the graduation exams."

  Zhou Xiaoyun's face showed a painful expression, shaking her head as she spoke: "Brother, brother, so you've always been in my heart..."

  "You're such a diligent and excellent student, how could you say something so unambitious?"

  Diligent and excellent?

  Are these words used to describe him? Da Bao's dizzy expression, especially since this came from the truly studious and excellent Zhou Xiaoyun, made him even more delighted.

  Dabao has always been susceptible to this kind of thing, I reckon no matter what Xiaoyun says next, he'll just nod and say yes yes yes.

  "Big sister, then what kind of middle school should I attend?" Da Bao asked sincerely for help.

  Zhou Xiaoyun secretly smiled, thinking that Da Bao had taken the bait. Her face still wore an expression of admiration: "Brother, I think a student like you who loves to study and has good eloquence should at least attend a middle school in the county seat! It's not certain if they can get into a key middle school, but it shouldn't be a problem to get into Qiming Middle School!"
