Chapter 829 Find an Excuse
As soon as Shen Yujun closed the door, Zi Xin let out a long sigh and lay on the table.
College entrance examination! College entrance examination! One year is not enough, so she has to take it for two years. It seems that her mother really wants her to take it non-stop!
Zi Xin was very upset.
Having experienced the college entrance examination once, she didn't want to experience it again. In the previous college entrance examination, she thought that even if she was healthy and there were no unexpected situations, she might not be able to pass.
She herself is not good at studying.
For her, going out to make money is more interesting.
Zi Xin listened to Su Hanyan still chattering in English on the radio, but she had no desire to listen any further, so she decisively turned off the radio, put the English book into her schoolbag, then picked up the bag and walked out.
In the living room.
Ji Sihai was reading the newspaper, while Shen Yujun was standing beside her husband, peeling fruit for him.
"Dad, Mom! I'm going out for a while." Zi Xin said.
Ji Sihai raised his head and glanced at his well-behaved daughter. Seeing that she was about to go out with her schoolbag on her back, he asked her, "Xinxin, where are you going?"
"Dad, I heard that there's an English corner at the Foreign Languages University. My spoken English isn't that good, so I want to go there and practice speaking with others. My brother's English is great, but he has his own job, so I can't always pester him. I have to find a way to improve myself!" Zi Xin said as she opened her schoolbag and took out a thick English dictionary. "Dad, Mom, look! I heard from the host on the radio that whenever you come across a word you don't know, just look it up in the dictionary! That way you can accumulate a lot of words in your daily life."
"Yeah." Ji Sihai nodded repeatedly, expressing his satisfaction and affirmation of his daughter's efforts. "The supporter's English is very good, and very authentic. Even your brother is praising her! I saw that teachers at the University of Foreign Languages are also recommending students to listen to her radio. You can listen to it more when you have time."
"I got it, Dad! You and Mom don't have to worry about my school exams. I must become a good person like my brother, and even better than him! I have the confidence!" Zi Xin clenched his fists and acted very determined.
"Okay, okay. I believe in my Xinxin!" Ji Sihai said happily.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Wait." Shen Yujun stopped her, turned back to the room, got a wad of money, and stuffed it into Zi Xin's pocket. "Take this money and spend it. Buy any books or exercise books you like. If you come back late and there's no bus, use the money to call a taxi!"
"Mom, how can I have the nerve to always spend your money? No need. I have saved ten dollars from the money you gave me last time! I don't drink soda or eat ice cream on weekdays, and I don't buy anything else. I think I have spent a lot of this money, so it will be no problem to spend it until the New Year!" Zi Xin tried hard to show his sensible side.
Ji Sihai felt even more distressed for his daughter when he heard this. He said to his wife Shen Yujun, "We are not short of money. You should give our daughter more money! She has suffered a lot over the years. Now that she has returned to the city, she should integrate into the life here. It's not okay for her to be reluctant to drink even a sip of soda in such a hot day!"
"Yes." Shen Yujun stuffed the fifty yuan into Zixin's pocket. "Xinxin, our family is not short of money. Just spend the money as much as you want. Buy whatever you want! Just study hard!"
