“If you don’t try, how do you know you won’t be able to get in? Although the postgraduate entrance examination was not easy, it should not be difficult, right? That Xiao Liu from before has been working for several years, but didn’t he still get in?” Li Xu was a little angry and blurted out.
After saying that, she felt a little guilty.
Although it had been a long time since Liu Zijian’s incident, she did not know if Li Miao had let go of it.
She was afraid that she would feel bad if he mentioned Liu Zijian now.
Fortunately, when she heard the name Liu Zijian, Li Miao’s expression did not change much.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mention him.” Li Xu sighed and apologized helplessly.
Li Miao shook her head, “How long has it been? I don’t care anymore.”
“What exactly are you thinking?” Li Xu sighed helplessly again, “I don’t think your reason is valid. Half a year is nothing to you. If you can find a job in Seastar High School now, you can also find a job in half a year.”
With Li Miao’s academic qualifications, although the good schools would not choose her, the worse schools would still fight for her.
Li Miao was a little annoyed by Li Xu’s words. She squatted down, “I just don’t want to study anymore. I want to work. I want to earn money.”
“Earn money? Are you short of money? Father and Mother usually give you a lot of money, right? Also, your two brothers and I send you money every three to five days. Why do you need so much money?”
In the first year, the family was tight, so the money given to Li Miao might not be much.
In the second year, the family had some money left. Her parents gave her a lot of money every month, afraid that she would not have enough to spend outside.
The three of them often helped out.
Therefore, she really did not understand why Li Miao was in such a hurry to earn money.
“When you were my age, Zixuan was already over a year old, right? When my Eldest Brother was my age, he had already gone to the army and started to send money home. When my Second Brother was my age, he was working in a restaurant. At that time, his salary was less than 200 yuan a month, and he gave my parents more than 100 yuan every month.” Li Miao said listlessly.
“How can that be the same? At that time, our family was poor, and we didn’t have much learning ability, so we could only work early. But you’re different. Now that our family is rich, you should know that our parents’ greenhouses can earn a lot of money in a year. Let alone one of you, we can even afford ten of you.”
Li Xu tried her best to persuade her, “If you can get into a postgraduate degree, it will bring glory to your parents and your family. Your two brothers and I don’t have anything to be proud of. Only you can.”
“You did well in your studies back then. If it weren’t for the lack of money, you could have gone to university.” However, Li Miao said, “I just feel that…”
She just felt her family had worked so hard for so long, and it was as if they had done everything for her.
They had all worked hard to get through this, and only she had the chance to go to university.
“This is indeed a regretful matter for me.” Li Xu smiled bitterly, “But because of this, you have to take the postgraduate entrance examination even more.”
Seeing the surprised expression on Li Miao’s face, Li Xu explained, “We’re sisters. If I can’t achieve my dream, you can help me achieve it.”
Hearing Li Xu’s words, Li Miao’s expression was a little thoughtful.
“Think about it carefully. When you’re done, let your Second Brother take you to the bookstore in the city to buy revision materials.” Li Xu reached out and patted Li Miao’s shoulder.
“I’m hungry,” she said as she stretched, “I’m going back with the child.”
Li Miao stood up and stood behind Li Xu. She frowned slightly.
Li Xu brought the two children home and helped Meng Xiaoning make lunch.
She was busy until three in the afternoon before she took a bus back to the city.
Li Xu’s words were still useful. On Monday morning, Li Yong brought Li Miao to the bookstore and bought a full set of revision materials. Then, she began to revise hard.
Ji Zixuan’s Mathematical Olympiad class was not bad either. He left early and returned late every day, full of energy.
Zhang Kun began his life by running back and forth between the city and the county. He had to bring the two little fellows with him every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.
After moving into their new home this year, Zhang Kun and Li Xu discussed not going back to their hometown for the New Year. It would be just their family of five spending the New Year in the city.
Firstly, it was inconvenient to stay at Zhang Jun’s house. Secondly, the new house had enough heating, so the children could be more comfortable here.
Therefore, on the 28th of the twelve months of the lunar year, Zhang Kun and Li Xu took the children home.
They brought a lot of things back. Since they couldn’t spend the New Year at home, they naturally couldn’t be short on gifts.
There was only one day left until the new year. The family stopped their work and prepared for new year’s eve tomorrow.
Before she entered the house, she heard the sound of chickens crowing in the courtyard.
It was most likely planning to kill the chickens to cook.
In S City, every household had to cook a dish during the New Year, Steamed chicken and cabbage.
They killed one or two chickens, paired them with three or four cabbages, and made a large basin full of them.
The weather was cold in winter, so the large basin would not spoil even if it was placed outdoors.
Ji Yuanyuan was salivating at the thought of that smell.
The cabbage was stewed until it was mushy, and the taste was very good.
In the past, it was always Zhang Jun who killed the chickens.
Therefore, Zhang Kun thought that Zhang Jun was the one who killed the chicken in the courtyard. He pushed the door open and shouted, “Xiao Jun, I bought it for Shuo Shuo…”
Zhang Kun was stunned when he entered.
The person who killed the chicken in the courtyard was not Zhang Jun, but…
“Wei Zhenghao?”
Li Xu, who came in later, said in surprise.
Wei Zhenghao stood up from the ground and shouted, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re here?”
Zhang Kun frowned and didn’t say anything as he entered the house.
Li Xu hesitated for a moment before following Zhang Kun in.
Although Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan were also a little surprised, they could control their expressions and follow behind their parents.
However, it was different for Ji Zi’ang. He had completely lost control of his facial expression.
He looked at Wei Zhenghao in shock. He didn’t understand why this man would show up at his grandparents’ house at this time.
He walked into the house, turning his head back three times with every step he took.
Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali reached out and took the things from Zhang Kun and Li Xu’s hands, exchanging pleasantries.
“Just come back if you want to. Why did you bring so many things?”
“Yeah, they’ll all be spoilt if we can’t finish them. Save a few boxes for your father-in-law on the second day of the new year. They have a lot of family members.”
“Why is he here?” Zhang Kun was not in the mood to chat with the old man and asked directly.
When Zhang Dali heard this, he smiled bitterly, “You have to ask your mother, the living Bodhisattva.”
“What’s going on?” Zhang Kun frowned and looked at Wang Yuechu, “Mother, what’s going on?”
Wang Yuechu was afraid that Wei Zhenghao would hear her, so she quickly dragged Zhang Kun into the house and said, “Keep your voice down. He’ll hear you..”
