Bonnie came and went in a hurry, rented out the courtyard house, collected a year's rent, and was very happy.
Gu Ye now earns a little over two hundred yuan a month, while she herself earns less than fifty yuan a month. The rent for her family's three houses alone is over two hundred yuan a month. In the 1980s, her family was considered a high-income group.
Another important point is that Bonnie grows her own vegetables and raises fish, which saves the family a lot of money. They don't spend much each month.
Once the housekeeper arrives, the expenses will be slightly higher, but still won't exceed Gu Ye's salary. Her family can still save over three hundred yuan a month. Moreover, housing prices will continue to rise, and rent will also increase.
Bonnie was thinking to herself that there was still a little over 10,000 yuan in cash at home, and now another 2,000 yuan had come in. The rent for the two houses would be collected soon, and there would also be her and Gu Ye's salaries. Just thinking about it made her happy.
Back at the library, Lan Hua came looking for me.
"Bonnie, I'm leaving."
"Don't sound so heartbroken. People who don't know better will think something's wrong with you. What about your job? Will they arrange something for you?"
Bonnie was also quite reluctant to part with Lan Hua, but there was nothing she could do; the army camp remains, but the soldiers come and go, and she was already used to it.
“I’ve been assigned to work in the logistics department of a nearby primary school. I don’t have the ability to teach, so I can’t be a teacher.”
Orchids are self-aware; the little knowledge they've acquired is basically just for making a living.
"It's fine, not too much trouble, and the salary isn't low either, it's good."
"Sigh, I'm content. It's so hard to find a job these days! The streets are full of unemployed people and street vendors. It's not easy for anyone."
Orchid realized that she was already lucky enough and should cherish her blessings.
After chatting with Bonnie for a bit, I felt much better. Lan Hua went back to work. Even though she's leaving, she wants to do her best on her last shift.
Get back to work, I'll be busy again soon. Lan Hua is right, we should cherish what we have.
A few days later, Lan Hua left, and a slightly younger military wife named Qiu Ye came to the library, whom Bao Ni didn't recognize.
Teacher Zhang introduced all the library staff to the new colleague. Bonnie greeted them and went back to work, saying she'd talk to them later.
The junior high school just released the exam results. Liu Jiu ranked third in the grade, and Gu Xuanyi ranked fifth. Both are good.
Xu Yi paid special attention to Gu Yun Chu's grades this time, and after seeing them, he felt extremely depressed. What do you call someone who excels in both academics and martial arts? Doesn't that leave anyone else a chance?
There's a parent-teacher conference coming up, hopefully his dad won't have time, otherwise he'll be in big trouble. Also, last time he didn't understand the situation before he fought Gu Yun Chu, and most importantly, he lost.
Now, Gu Yun Chu completely ignores them.
Ma Zijun had originally arranged to spar with Gu Yunchu, but now she's ignoring him and has no intention of sparring. Sigh, holding grudges is a girl's nature.
Liu Jiu had no idea that Xu Yi was paying so much attention to her. She was checking her test paper to see where she had lost points.
She now has a goal: academic performance and physical fitness are both important. She wants to build a solid foundation and work hard throughout her two years of high school.
Xuan Yi saw that Liu Jiu was checking the test papers, so he didn't go out and run around. He would play basketball later that night.
During the last class, the homeroom teacher announced that a parent-teacher meeting would be held during the last two periods of the next afternoon, and no one was allowed to be absent.
That evening, Liu Jiu and Xuan Yi talked about the parent-teacher conference. Bao Ni asked Gu Ye if he had time to show up, since he always missed the children's parent-teacher conferences.
"I can. I have time tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Ye also regrets that he has missed too much of his child's studies and life.
"Alright, you go ahead. Liu Jiu, Xuan Yi, should one parent go or both of you?"
Bonnie should ask beforehand to avoid any mistakes.
"Second Aunt, only one parent needs to go. I asked the teacher, and she knows our family situation. She said only one parent needs to go."
Gu Xuanyi specifically asked, because he was worried that his second uncle might not have time. If two were needed, he would have to explain it to his teacher in advance.
"Alright, then let your second uncle represent you and experience the highlight moment brought by the child."
Bonnie already knows about the two children's grades; they are both very good.
After dinner, Liu Jiu went to exercise as usual, with Xuan Yi carrying a basketball and following behind San Qi side by side.
On the training field, Ma Zijun and his two companions arrived first. Seeing Gu Yun Chu and her two companions walking towards them from a distance, Ma Zijun subconsciously wanted to go over, but then he pulled his leg back. Gu Yun Chu didn't want to spar with him.
"Zijun, the Gu family's little girl has quite a temper. It's been so many days, and she still hasn't calmed down. She's just ignoring us."
Lan Shengli was worried for his brother, seeing how depressed he looked.
"Girls are so easily angered. Gu Yun Chu saw me in the hallway and acted like I wasn't there. That girl is unbearable! I got third in the grade this time, and I'm doomed by tomorrow's parent-teacher conference."
Xu Yi was worried. After his father finished his meeting, his grandfather would ask about the situation and he would inevitably get a scolding.
"It's your own fault for not studying hard. When you get to high school, the courses will be even more difficult. You need to be mentally prepared. There's not much time left. It's already May."
Lan Shengli's grades were mediocre, so he had little hope of getting into a good university, let alone a military academy. He didn't want to join the army either; his whole family was in the military, and he'd had enough. As for what he would do in the future, he didn't have any ideas yet, but he'd at least get into a university, or even a junior college.
Ma Zijun's goal is a military academy, and the best one at that. With his current grades, it's a bit uncertain. He must find a way to improve his grades next semester, especially his foreign language.
"Gu Yun Chu, who goes to your parent-teacher conference?"
Xu Yi, thick-skinned, found a reason to talk to Liu Jiu. He needed to break the deadlock. They weren't people who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and this impression had to be erased.
