The three of them sat around the dining table and did some problems, but no one thought about anything else. It wasn't until almost five o'clock that they heard the sound of the Qi family's front door opening.
The people who opened the door were Qi Shuang's parents. They looked a little tired, but they relaxed a bit when they saw Qi Shuang doing her homework in the dining room.
Lin's mother put down her bag, changed her shoes, and walked towards the three of them.
When Qi Shuang saw her parents return, she quickly stood up and went to greet them: "Mom and Dad, you're back."
"Yes. Xiaoshuang, I'm sorry to have worried you." Lin's mother looked at her daughter gently, then at Qi Yan and Shi Jing, "You two have worked so hard today, staying with Xiaoshuang the whole time."
"It's nothing, Aunt Lin." Qi Yan shook her head.
Shi Jing also smiled and said, "Qi Shuang has been doing her homework diligently, it's not hard for her."
Although she said that, Lin's mother knew her daughter's personality very well. If she didn't have someone to accompany her, she probably would have been depressed.
Mr. Qi had already changed his shoes. Although he was exhausted, he still came over to greet the children before going upstairs.
Lin's mother didn't disturb the children while they were doing their homework. After saying a few words, she went into the kitchen. The Qi family usually had two live-in housekeepers, but one had been assigned to clean another place today, and the other had already resigned. Given the Qi family's situation, there was no need to hire another housekeeper for the time being, so Lin's mother personally cooked the ingredients.
The live-in nanny who is still with the Qi family didn't return until almost six o'clock, and she looked quite tired.
The group ate a simple dinner.
With her parents at home, Qi Shuang seemed much more relaxed. After dinner, Qi Shuang quickly said, "Xiao Jing, it's quite late. Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll go find you a clean set of pajamas."
Qi Yan chimed in, "Yes, your mother isn't home, so you'll be alone when you go back."
Shi Jing didn't mind living outside, and she didn't object when the two of them said that.
"Great, this will be a good opportunity to review the questions I got wrong this afternoon."
Qi Yan: "......"
Qi Shuang: "......"
Although both of them were speechless, neither of them refused. Shi Jing had the best grades among the three, and she had made considerable progress this semester, so it would be nice to ask her about any mistakes she made.
Qi's parents were very pleased to see this.
After washing up, the three girls changed into their pajamas, and Shi Jing explained the wrong questions to the two of them. The two listened very attentively.
After reviewing her mistakes, Shi Jing felt a bit thirsty, so she said she was going downstairs to get a glass of water. She asked the two people there, but they both waved their hands wearily, indicating they didn't want any water. So she went downstairs alone.
As I passed the second floor, I suddenly heard voices coming from the balcony.
"Smoke less, it's bad for your health."
"Okay, I'll stop smoking after I finish this one."
Judging from the voices and conversation, the speakers are Qi Shuang's parents.
Shi Jing had no interest in eavesdropping and was about to continue downstairs when she heard Lin's mother say, "It's best not to change Xiao Shuang's school yet. Changing the environment now could easily affect the child's studies."
She paused for a moment before realizing that Lin's mother meant she wanted to transfer schools.
After Lin's mother finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, during which the sound of Qi's father smoking could be clearly heard. Shi Jing remained motionless, and for a moment, she no longer had the urge to pour water.
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Mr. Qi said, "We won't change it. Let's wait until Xiaoshuang finishes her high school entrance exam and see which school she can get into."
After recounting this, Father Qi sighed deeply.
Shi Jing was somewhat stunned. She realized that the Qi family's incident had a significant impact, but she didn't expect it would also affect Qi Shuang's schooling.
When she first transmigrated, she knew that the tuition at the private school she attended was very expensive, and she had even considered switching to a public high school. But since the original owner's father had always been paying the tuition, she had never given it much thought.
If she doesn't want to continue attending a private school, it's time to set her goals for the high school entrance exam.
However, she really didn't know anything about the public high schools in Tianyuan City. In her mind, the best high school should be No. 1 High School, right? Maybe she should go to No. 1 High School for high school.
Shi Jing walked along, thinking, holding the cup.
At this moment, as if receiving a signal, the system issued a new task with a "beep".
"Current mission objective: Please ensure that the host successfully passes the high school entrance examination and is admitted to Tianyuan No.1 High School. Mission reward: One million yuan in cash. Note: The top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination will receive ten times the reward."
Shi Jing paused in his climb up the stairs, surprised, and asked, "Ten times the reward?!"
"Yes, host, the top scorer in the city will receive a reward of ten million directly."
"The difference is too big!!"
"With the host's current grades, it shouldn't be difficult to get into the city's No. 1 High School."
"...Okay." Is this the top scholar? This is pure cash!
Shi Jing immediately clenched his fist, determined to win first place!
When Shi Jing returned to the room with the poured hot water, Qi Yan and Qi Shuang were already drowsy from waiting.
Hearing the door open, Qi Shuang reluctantly raised her head to look over and asked in confusion, "Did you get lost while getting water?"
Shi Jing rolled her eyes at her with amusement and explained, "I made a decision on the way to get the water."
"What decision?" Qi Yan asked curiously. Qi Shuang nodded in agreement; she was also eager to know.
"I plan to take the high school entrance exam and aim for the top score in the city," Shi Jing replied with high spirits.
"What?"
"ha?"
Both girls were shocked. They couldn't believe their ears and looked at each other in disbelief.
The private high schools they attend, such as Tianyuan Middle School, usually lead directly to high school. Most of these students are then sent abroad to study by their families, while others will first take the entrance exam for domestic universities and study for a year or two before considering studying abroad. Very few of them go directly to regular high schools.
Moreover, Shi Jingdi's goal is to become the top scorer in the city's high school entrance examination. There is only one such student in the entire city, so you can imagine how difficult it is to achieve this goal.
Shi Jing knew they were shocked, but said nonchalantly, "You always have to have a goal, what if you achieve it?"
Moreover, that's no small sum.
