Chapter 13 Interest Class

Zhong Xiong and Yang Fangqin argued for a long time, while Zhong Xu and Zhong Linlin on the side were busy eating cakes. Zhong Hui was stunned by what she saw and could only cover her mouth and laugh.

"When I was young, I was also a handsome guy." Zhong Xiong was particularly confident about this.

Yang Fangqin chuckled: "When I was young, I was also a flower."

The couple suddenly became like little children. They argued for a long time and finally remembered that they still had to discuss which interest class Zhong Xu should attend this year.

"How about signing up Zhong Xu for Taekwondo this year? I saw Taekwondo enrollment last year. Those boys looked so energetic in their white training uniforms." Zhong Xiong said.

"Taekwondo?" Yang Fangqin thought for a moment, "That's fine. If I know a little Kung Fu, I won't be bullied."

"Yes, yes, that's what I think." Zhong Xiong agreed very much.

Zhong Hui held her forehead with her hand. Zhong Xu didn't look like he was being bullied at all.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to learn Taekwondo. Ah hey, right hook, and kick..." Zhong Xu, who was still eating cake, ran over with a mouth full of cream and demonstrated it to the three adults on the spot.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhong Hui and the other two burst into laughter, but Zhong Xu was not embarrassed at all and even puffed out his chest proudly.

"Okay, you are worthy of being my son, that's great." Zhong Xiong patted Zhong Xu's shoulder happily.

"When you finish the exam, Dad will give you a reward."

"What reward?" Zhong Xu's eyes lit up.

"Remote control racing car."

"Wow, that's great, thank you Dad." Zhong Xu jumped up happily.

"Stop, stop, stop. You can have a reward, but we've agreed that you have to pass both subjects in this final exam." Yang Fangqin quickly interrupted them.

If you fail, you still want a reward?

Reward me with a meal of stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.

"Yes, you have to listen to your mother. You have to pass both subjects before you can get the reward." Zhong Xiong became serious.

Zhong Xu immediately sighed like a frost-bitten eggplant.

"I'm not asking you to be like your sister and get 100 points every time. I just hope you can pass, okay?" Yang Fangqin patted Zhong Xu's head in annoyance.

"My sister is in the second grade. The second grade is very easy, okay? When I was in the second grade, I also scored over 80 points in the exam, okay?" Zhong Xu jumped anxiously.

"Linlin, come here quickly and tell my mom that the second grade is easy, but the fourth grade is getting harder and harder." Zhong Xu quickly dragged Zhong Linlin over.

"But I'm not in the fourth grade yet. I don't know if it's difficult?" Linlin said innocently.

"That's right, even your sister doesn't know. Besides, how difficult is the fourth grade? There are people who get 100 points. I just hope you can pass. Don't bargain with me." Yang Fangqin glared at Zhong Xu, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Linlin, if you get a perfect score in both exams this time, your aunt will give you a reward. I'll buy you a Barbie doll." Yang Fangqin said, hugging Linlin.

"Thank you, aunt." Linlin smiled sweetly.

"No thanks, it's because our Linlin is so cute." Yang Fangqin touched Linlin's face.

This little girl, with her oval face and big eyes, combines the best qualities of her parents. She looks lovely at first sight. It's a pity that Yang Fangqin didn't give birth to a daughter.

"Linlin, can mom sign you up for a dance class this summer?" Zhong Hui asked Zhong Linlin for her opinion again.

"Okay, I want to learn to dance."

"OK."

The children are all willing to learn, so as parents, we can rest assured.

…

A few days later, Zhong Xiong worked quickly and quickly planted litchi trees on Zhong Hui's three acres of land and his own more than three acres of land.

"Now that the tree has been planted, I feel so happy." Zhong Xiong was so happy that he hummed a song.

"Don't be too happy too soon. In this weather, it's still a question whether you can survive." Yang Fangqin poured cold water on her.

"I have hired someone to water the tree morning and evening. This tree will definitely survive." Zhong Xiong said.

Yang Fangqin rolled her eyes in her heart. These saplings are so expensive, and now she has to hire someone to water them. She doesn’t know how long it will take to recover this cost.

Aunt Meihua has the same question as Yang Fangqin. Zhong Hui's house will be built in the next two days, and she has come here three times a day to water the foundation.

When she met Aunt Meihua, she came over and asked her about planting trees.

"Why did you think of planting trees? This kind of tree has a long growth cycle. It will take two years for it to bear fruit. It's more cost-effective to grow vegetables."

What else could Zhong Hui say? She could only say that her elder brother felt sorry for her and now had to renovate the house and had no time to grow vegetables, so he thought of planting lychee trees.

"That's true. This tree is in the ground. It's not like vegetables that need to be tended to every day. It's better to worry less."

Zhong Hui nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Then he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Auntie, when will you add the second floor to your house?"

"It's settled. When your house is being renovated, after you finish building the first floor, the workers will start building mine. It just so happens that it only takes one or two weeks to finish building one floor, so there won't be any delay at all." Aunt Meihua said happily.

"That's good."

June 29th is a good day for breaking ground, and the construction of Zhong Hui's house officially began.

Early in the morning, the workers started working enthusiastically. Those working with cement and laying bricks, more than ten workers started moving in an orderly manner.

Zhong Linlin and Zhong Xu happened to have their final exams today, and Yang Fangqin was sending them off. When she passed by, the two children shouted loudly.

"Mother."

"Aunt."

"We're going to take the exam."

Zhong Hui trotted over and said, "You two should study hard on your exams. If you do well, you'll have a much better summer."

"Yeah." Zhong Linlin nodded heavily.

Zhong Xu also nodded. He was feeling nervous. If he did well in the test, he would get a remote control car and a popsicle. If he didn't do well, he would get stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat, or two of them together. Alas, this world is difficult. Being a primary school student is not easy either.

After sending off the two little ones who were about to take exams, Zhong Hui no longer cared to watch them work. She couldn't understand it anyway, and it was all taken care of by her elder brother.

All she had to do was prepare lunch. She didn't have to worry about breakfast and dinner for these dozen workers, but they had to eat lunch at the owner's house.

Zhong Hui no longer went to Zhong Xiong's house to cook, as it was inconvenient to go back and forth. She simply asked someone to build a small shed on the open space, built a stove with bricks, and put firewood on it, which made cooking convenient.

Today is the first day of work. Zhong Hui rode her motorcycle to buy vegetables early in the morning, including ten pounds of meat, a chicken, and several pounds of pig liver and intestines, so that the workers can eat well.

When Zhong Hui was cooking, Aunt Meihua also came to help. They agreed that when Aunt Meihua built a house, she would also use this small shed.

"This vegetable is really fresh." Aunt Meihua helped wash the vegetables.

"I rode my bike to buy them early in the morning. The vegetables had just been delivered to the market." Zhong Hui said with a smile.

"Can you ride a bike now?" Aunt Meihua asked in surprise.

"I don't know how to ride that kind of men's motorcycle. I ride my sister-in-law's women's motorcycle. It's easier to ride and doesn't require as much strength." Zhong Hui said.

"That's right. It's more convenient to have a motorcycle. Wherever you want to go, you can get there just by stepping on the accelerator. If we walk on two legs, it will take us half a day to get there." Aunt Meihua also said.

"I think so too. I'll buy one when I have time." Zhong Hui used to think that she couldn't handle a ladies' motorcycle, so she never bought one.

Now that I can ride, I realize how convenient it is to have a car.
