"Uh-huh!"

Xu Hongxia nodded: "Because it's a bit far from the city, my family is worried about me coming alone. So it's my dad's fault."

"oh?"

Grandpa Song asked with amusement, "Is Qin'er your sister-in-law or your cousin's wife?"

“She’s my sister-in-law.” Xu Hongxia found his question strange.

After hearing her answer, Grandpa Song nodded and pointed to Dr. Zhong, saying, "That's Grandpa Zhong. Wait here for a moment, I'll go call him."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Xu Hongxia. Grandpa, what's your name?"

"Just call me Grandpa Song."

After saying that, Grandpa Song went over to Dr. Zhong.

Xu Hongxia, clutching her bundle, stood there and glanced around the cowshed.

The cowshed was quite large, at least a hundred square meters, but it was too spacious.

Apart from a few beds, there were only some straw curtains separating a small area.

Then, to the right of the entrance, in the innermost part, there are many long wooden benches. Except for the lack of desks, the layout is somewhat like a school.

Then, the area near the entrance should be where the rice was cooked, because Xu Hongxia saw traces of burning.

When Dr. Zhong heard from Grandpa Song that Xu Hongxia was Huang Qinqin's sister and that she had started learning a foreign language today, he came over directly.

"So, you're planning to learn American from me?"

Xu Hongxia saw a grandfather wearing thin-rimmed glasses, with some gray hair at his temples, but with a straight back and a refined demeanor walking over.

Based on what he had just said, I guessed that he must be Grandpa Zhong, so I quickly replied, "Hello, Grandpa Zhong. Yes, I am the one who is going to learn American English from Grandpa Zhong."

"Okay, come with me. Take your things with you; we don't have anywhere to put them."

Dr. Zhong didn't exchange pleasantries with Xu Hongxia. He simply asked her name, introduced himself, and then began the formal teaching session.

Seeing that Dr. Zhong immediately got into teaching mode, Xu Hongxia also put aside her distractions and began to study seriously.

After all, she still had the responsibility of teaching Huang Qinqin after she got home at night.

After studying for about half an hour, Dundun also arrived at the cowshed, so Dr. Zhong's teaching subjects changed from one big one to one big one and one small one.

......

Days that follow a set routine always fly by.

December has arrived in the blink of an eye, and in a few days it will be New Year's Day.

Before she knew it, Huang Qinqin was already more than seven months pregnant, almost eight months along.

For the past two months, apart from attending Huang Jianjun's engagement banquet, Huang Qinqin has spent her days going to and from work, and then studying foreign languages ​​with Xu Hongxia in the evenings.

It must be said that even though Huang Qinqin was pregnant, her learning talent was better than Xu Hongxia's.

Huang Qinqin can memorize the same grammar after hearing it only once, and sometimes she can even teach Xu Hongxia in return.

It is worth mentioning that when Xu Jianwen and Xu Jianwu saw Huang Qinqin learning a foreign language from Xu Hongxia, they also expressed their desire to learn.

Xu Hongxia thought that teaching one person was the same as teaching three people, so she agreed to teach them.

Surprisingly, among the four of them, it was Xu Hongxia, the 'teacher,' who learned the slowest.

Huang Qinqin is talented and has a strong ability to understand.

Xu Jianwen and Xu Jianwu, presumably because they are young, have good memories and strong learning abilities.

That day, after returning home, Xu Hongxia couldn't help but wail, "This is truly outrageous!"

"I worked the hardest, going to study from early morning to late at night every day, but I ended up doing the worst."

Xu Hongxia said with a wry smile, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea, Grandpa Zhong said I was stupid today. Because Dun Dun's Americano is now more fluent than mine!"

Xu Hongxia can't compare to Huang Qinqin, but that's understandable, since Huang Qinqin is smarter than her, which she admits.

Xu Hongxia could not compare to Xu Jianwen and Xu Jianwu, but she reluctantly accepted it, because since Xu Fang and Chen Ming divorced, they had suddenly become much more sensible.

They were already very obedient and sensible before, but in the past two months, they have become even more sensible and hardworking.

Xu Hongxia could see the two brothers studying almost every moment, so she accepted that she couldn't keep up with them.

But the fact that she couldn't even beat Dun Dun was really hurtful!

How old is Dun Dun?

He just celebrated his birthday last month, which means that Dundun is only four years old now!

A four-year-old toddler was learning faster than Xu Hongxia, and she felt like the sky had fallen.

Xu Hongxia was starting to doubt herself, wondering if she had some kind of intellectual disability...

When Xu Hongxia said that she was the one who worked the hardest, responsible for making two round trips every day, Xu Weiguo, who was picking her up and dropping her off, became unhappy.

"Who said you're the one who works the hardest? I'm the one who works the hardest, okay? I ride my bike to take you to work every day."

Zhang Yumei chimed in, "That's right! Weiguo, you've worked the hardest these past few days. What would you like to eat tomorrow? I'll cook for you."

Xu Hongxia glanced sideways at Xu Weiguo and Zhang Yumei, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Mom, you favor men over women!"

"Nonsense! What do you mean by valuing men over women! Is Mom that kind of person?"

Zhang Yumei quickly refuted Xu Hongxia.

Xu Hongxia coldly retorted, "So that's you!"

"Mom, do you want to look at your current posture before you argue with me?"

Xu Hongxia felt utterly speechless; things were better before.

Basically, every time she and Xu Weiguo had a conflict, Zhang Yumei would check whose fault it was before she would talk to them.

If neither of them is in the right, Zhang Yumei might even side with Xu Hongxia, on the grounds that she is still young.

Now things are much better. Because of the past two months, Xu Weiguo has been cycling back and forth to pick up and drop off Xu Hongxia every day. His exercise level has increased, and his figure has improved.

After so many years, she has finally returned to her peak appearance and figure.

This caused Zhang Yumei to become completely infatuated with him and to become utterly biased towards Xu Weiguo.

Zhang Yumei said dismissively, "What's wrong with my posture? Isn't this perfectly normal?"

Xu Hongxia let out a few pig-like squeals: "Hmph! Look at you, you've fallen all over Dad, and your hand is even inside Dad's clothes!"

"There are so many children in the yard, aren't you careful? Aren't you afraid of setting a bad example for us?"

"Given how much you and Dad have been getting along lately, I'm afraid you might suddenly give birth to a younger brother or sister for us."

Snap!

Ouch!

Zhang Yumei casually tossed a cushion from the stool at her, her face flushed, and said, "You brat! What nonsense are you talking about!"
