Chapter 198 On the Agenda

"Yuanyuan ranked twelfth in the exam, and the teacher praised her." Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, Yang Jingyi spoke proudly.

That expression was as if she was the one being praised.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziang slapped his thigh excitedly, "It's settled!"

Yang Jingyi looked at Ji Ziang strangely: "What's settled?"

"My mom said that as long as the three of us do well in the exams, she will buy a color TV for our family before the New Year. Yuanyuan and I have both improved in the exams. My eldest brother will definitely still be the first, right? This TV is definitely bought."

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Zixuan.

Ji Zixuan nodded, "Yeah."

Ji Ziang pulled one in each hand, impatiently saying, "Go home quickly and tell mom. We'll go buy it tomorrow."

Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan ruthlessly broke his fantasy: "My uncle is getting married in a few days. Mom must be busy with his wedding. I'm afraid she doesn't have time to buy a TV."

Li Lei’s wedding date has been set long ago, on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. It’s only a few days away, and there are so many things to prepare!

When Ji Ziang heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.

"But..." After saying "but" for a long time, nothing could come out.

Yang Jingyi looked at Ji Ziang's disappointed expression and said quickly, "Brother Ziang, you can come to my house to watch TV. I have a TV at home too."

When Yang Jingyi said this, Ji Ziang's expression became a little embarrassed.

Yang Jingyi's father is so fierce, he doesn't want to go.

But looking at Yang Jingyi's expectant eyes, he couldn't say no. He could only look at Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan for help.

"Yang Jingyi, how did you do in the exam this time?" Ji Zixuan quickly changed the subject and asked about Yang Jingyi's results.

Speaking of this, Yang Jingyi was quite happy: "I have made progress this time. I ranked 38th in the class!"

"If I remember correctly, there are a total of 48 students in your class, right?" Ji Zixuan looked at Ji Yuanyuan and asked.

Ji Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes, a total of forty-eight people."

"38th, that means 11th from the bottom! Last time it was 6th from the bottom, this time it is 11th from the bottom, an improvement of five places!" said Ji Zixuan.

"Yes, I have improved five places, thanks to Yuanyuan, who always explains the questions to me." Yang Jingyi went forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan's arm, "Yuanyuan, you are so good to me!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zixuan let out a long sigh.

He could see that his sister had been trying very hard to help Yang Jingyi with her lessons, but she had only risen from sixth from the bottom to eleventh from the bottom.

And Yang Jingyi actually felt very content!

He didn't know what to say.

Ji Ziang was also looking at Yang Jingyi, as if he was looking at a fool.

He seemed to have forgotten that just a year ago, his test scores were also the lowest in the class.

Only Ji Yuanyuan reached out and patted Yang Jingyi's arm, encouraging her: "Okay, you're already very good. You are one year younger than them, so you have one less year of school. Let's keep working hard next semester and try to do better every time!"

Yang Jingyi nodded stupidly: "Yeah!"

On the way, the few people met Hu Chunli who came to pick up Yang Jingyi from school.

Hu Chunli seems to have become more concerned about beauty than before.

It was the twelfth lunar month, and she was wearing a black woolen coat and a red scarf around her neck.

Her hair was curled into big waves, her face was made up, and her lips were painted with lipstick that was the same color as her scarf.

She was wearing a pair of black high heels, which made a clicking sound when she stepped on the ground.

Her fashionable dress made people around her look at her unconsciously.

She seemed to ignore it. When she received Yang Jingyi's call, she took off the scarf from her neck and wrapped it around Yang Jingyi's neck: "Are you cold?"

Yang Jingyi shook her head and hugged Hu Chunli's arm affectionately.

Since that incident, Yang Jingyi has also changed.

More dependent on Hu Chunli.

Ji Yuanyuan and his two siblings greeted Hu Chunli politely.

"Hello, Aunt Hu!"

Hu Chunli held Yang Jingyi's hand and waved to the three siblings: "It's cold outside, you should go home quickly."

After saying hello, Hu Chunli took Yang Jingyi away, while Ji Yuanyuan and her two siblings went to Li Xu's store.

When the three of them went over, Li Xu was on the phone.

"Okay, since he invited you, then you can go with him. He can take care of you on the way, and both of you can rest assured."

Li Xu saw the three children coming back and immediately said, "That's it. The children are back and I have to go cook for them. What are you talking about? The phone bill is free? They will be back tomorrow. How much can't you say tomorrow?"

While speaking, Li Xu hung up the phone.

Ji Yuanyuan's eyes lit up: "Is it my aunt? Will you be back tomorrow?"

Li Xu smiled and nodded: "Yes, not only your aunt, but also your brother Mu Cheng, is coming together, are you happy?"

Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Li Xu shook her head helplessly.

"Let's go, I'll cook for you when we get home. Have the test papers and certificates been distributed?" Li Xu said as she took off her apron, took the children out and locked the store door.

"Mom, I ranked fifth in the exam this time, and Yuanyuan ranked twelfth. We have both improved a lot. When are we going to buy a color TV?" Ji Ziang asked expectantly.

"That's amazing!" Li Xu reached out and touched Ji Ziang's head. "Wait for your dad to come back in the evening and we'll discuss it."

Seeing that Li Xu did not refuse outright, Ji Ziang winked at Ji Yuanyuan.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Zhang Kun returns home much earlier than before.

"Buy it. Let's go buy it tomorrow!" Zhang Kun said excitedly as he looked at the three people's certificates.

After that, he stood up and told Li Xu: "Go get some glue, I'll stick the certificate on the wall."

Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I'll do it!"

Li Xu fiddled in the kitchen for a while and soon brought a bowl.

Zhang Kun stood on a stool and quickly pasted all five certificates on the wall.

Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang each have two cards, one for being a three-good student and the other for being a model student.

And Ji Yuanyuan only has one Star of Progress!

Looking at the five certificates neatly laid out on the wall, Zhang Kun nodded with satisfaction: "You three keep working hard and try to cover this wall!"

Since Zhang Kun agreed, the three children were so looking forward to it, and they had all agreed to it before.

Even though she was very busy these days, Li Xu immediately put the purchase of a color TV on the agenda.

The next day was not a weekend, so Zhang Kun still had to go to work. However, he was free from nine to ten in the morning and could go out.

At this time, the employees have finished their breakfast and lunch is not ready yet.

Even at work, he is idle.

As long as you don't go out to do something too often, your boss won't care.
