Chapter 431 Night School

Several children at home are about to take their final exams, and Xia Juanjuan is busy tutoring them.

However, when the triplets were doing their homework, they would see Chunyan sitting neatly at the table, her eyes always looking at the triplets' textbooks and homework books attentively.

Xia Juanjuan suddenly remembered the scene where she saw Chunyan secretly copying the words on the washing machine.

She has been so busy that she forgot about it.

When Chunyan was not around, Xia Juanjuan secretly asked Beibei.

After asking, I found out that Chunyan had been secretly teaching herself to read in the past few months, and would ask Beibei if she didn't understand something.

Beibei is now in the fifth grade of elementary school and will be promoted to the first grade of junior high school in the fall. Therefore, Chunyan cannot understand the textbooks. Beibei told Chunyan that she can study by following the textbooks of the triplets.

That’s why what Xia Juanjuan saw happened.

"Sister Chunyan has studied very hard. Now she can write her own name and recognize quite a few characters! But... Mom, Sister Chunyan didn't let me tell you. Don't tell me that it was me who told you."

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this and said, "You don't allow me to tell you? Why? Am I a monster? Why don't you dare to tell me?"

Beibei said: "Anyway... don't tell Sister Chunyan this. I promised Sister Chunyan."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "You are quite trustworthy. Okay, I won't say it was you who said it."

A few days later, Xia Juanjuan found an opportunity and asked Chunyan about this.

When Chunyan saw that Xia Juanjuan knew about it, her face immediately turned pale with fright. She pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, lowered her head, looked up at Xia Juanjuan with guilt, and said with some stammering:

"Aunt, I...I only read it when I had free time. I didn't do it while I was idle. You...you must not chase me home..."

Xia Juanjuan was helpless seeing her so scared. She and Lizhan should have gotten along well.

However, when I think about it, she is not that old and she came to the city under the pretext of helping with work, so it is normal for her to be afraid.

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. It's a good thing that you want to learn to read. Fourth aunt won't stop you from learning. But you are so old now, you will definitely feel embarrassed to go to elementary school with Yanyan and the others.

I checked and found that there is a night school near our courtyard. The students are all adults and there are two or three classes every night. If you want to learn, your fourth aunt will sign you up and you can go in two days. "

When Chunyan heard this, her eyes lit up.

She asked in surprise, "Fourth Aunt, is this... is this true? You really won't stop me?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true. You should study hard. If you really do well, your fourth aunt will find you a better job in the future."

Chunyan excitedly assured: "Fourth Aunt, I will definitely study hard! But forget about a better job, I think working at home is the best job!"

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help laughing: "Silly girl, how can you be a good job just cooking and washing clothes for others? Anyway, you should learn it first, and then you can talk about other things after you have learned it well."

Within two days, Chunyan happily prepared dinner and went to night school every night.

Time flies, and it is early July. The tense final exams are finally over.

Xia Juanjuan and Chen Lu came out of the examination room with ease.

Chen Lu bought a train ticket for the evening after the exam. He was eager to return to Guangzhou as soon as possible.

Xia Juanjuan did not delay her and said goodbye to her. Chen Lu went to the dormitory to pack her luggage, while she walked towards the school gate.

When she reached the door, she saw Li Zhan standing next to the bicycle, waiting for her.

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment.

Hasn't Li Zhan been very busy these past few months? Why did he suddenly come to pick her up in broad daylight?

She ran two steps quickly to him, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Why did you come here? You didn't even tell me in advance."

Li Zhan looked at her and said with a smile, "Today is a half-day holiday. We have to report to the troops early tomorrow morning. We may not even have any contact for more than a month."

Xia Juanjuan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing this, but she also knew that this was determined by the nature of Lizhan's job, so she didn't ask anything and said, "Well. Anyway, you just be careful."

Li Zhan smiled, raised his hand and tugged at her hair, and said, "I know. Let's go home."

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan calmed down and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

Lizhan got on the bicycle, Xia Juanjuan sat on the back seat, and they left Peking University and rode towards home.

Li Zhixin saw Xia Juanjuan at the school gate and couldn't help but sneered twice.

Didn’t you hire a jeep to pick you up last time, making it such a grand occasion? Now you’re riding a bicycle, aren’t you?

So what if I’m at the deputy division level?

Her husband was originally in the army, but he retired after many years and went to work in a local department, in charge of economics.

Li Zhixin's family also opened a restaurant near Shuiloutaixiandeyuedi. He can now earn two to three hundred yuan a month, which is much higher than the monthly allowance of more than one hundred yuan for a deputy division commander!

So, the anger that she had been holding back at the school gate a year ago has finally been released to some extent.

It’s a pity that I can’t find a chance to show off in front of Xia Juanjuan and save my face.

However, there is no rush. I will wait until the family restaurant runs for a while and makes a profit of about 1,800 yuan before I slap Xia Juanjuan in the face. That will make me feel better.

Xia Juanjuan didn't know what Li Zhixin was thinking. She held Lizhan's waist and chatted all the way. When they got home, she took out a few watermelons from the storage space, put them in the refrigerator and moved them around a little, then took them out and cut them for everyone to eat.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Beibei and the triplets have also finished their exams.

As soon as the triplets came back, they opened the refrigerator door.

"Mom! We're done with the exam! You promised us we could have popsicles!"

Xia Juanjuan came over helplessly and took out the homemade popsicles from the freezer.

There weren’t many plastic products in that era, and there certainly weren’t molds for making homemade popsicles.

However, this thing didn't require much technical content. Xia Juanjuan took out some wood and bamboo from the space and asked Li Zhan to take the time to carve out a few molds.

As for making popsicles, that’s not difficult.

Add milk, various fresh fruits cut into small pieces, sugar, stir evenly, pour into the mold, insert the wooden stick of the popsicle, and freeze it into shape.

You can also boil mung bean soup, add sugar, and pour it in to make mung bean popsicles.

Xia Juanjuan gave the six of them and Chunyan a milk ice cream each and let them eat.

Xia Shuangshan, Lin Yuru, Shen Wanxue, Rong Zhenbang and Yang Qiushi are old, and eating popsicles will upset their stomachs. In the summer, they boil mung bean paste and red bean paste and put them in the refrigerator. When it is too hot, they take out a small bowl of it and drink it, which is also very refreshing.
