Chapter 397 Living Bodhisattva
"If you don't try, how do you know you won't pass? Although the postgraduate entrance examination is not easy, it shouldn't be that difficult, right? The Xiao Liu before had been working for several years, but he still passed the exam?" Li Xu blurted out angrily.
After saying that, I felt a little guilty.
Although the incident with Liu Zijian happened a long time ago, I don’t know whether Li Miao has let it go.
Now when I mention Liu Zijian, I’m afraid she will feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, when Li Miao heard the name Liu Zijian, his expression did not change much.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention him." Li Xu sighed and apologized helplessly.
Li Miao shook his head: "It's been a long time since then. I don't care about it anymore."
"What on earth are you thinking?" Li Xu sighed helplessly again. "I don't think your reason is valid. Half a year is nothing to you. If you can find a job at Haichen No. 1 Middle School now, you can still find one in half a year."
Although Li Miao cannot get into a good school with her academic qualifications, schools with slightly worse qualifications are still vying for her.
Li Miao was a little annoyed by what Li Xu said. She squatted down and said, "I just don't want to study anymore. I want to work and make money."
"Making money? Are you in need of money? Your parents give you money all the time, right? And your two brothers and I also give you money every now and then. What do you need so much money for?"
That is to say, in the first year, the family was tight on money and the money given to Li Miao might not be very much.
By the second year, the family had some extra money, and her parents gave her a lot of it every month, fearing that she would not have enough to spend outside.
The three siblings also often provide assistance.
So I really don’t understand why Li Miao is in such a hurry to make money.
"When you were my age, Zixuan was already over one year old, right? My eldest brother had already joined the army and started sending money home when he was my age. And my second brother was working in a restaurant when he was my age. At that time, he made less than 200 yuan a month, and he gave more than 100 yuan to my parents every month." Li Miao said dejectedly.
"How can they be the same? Back then, our family was poor, and we didn't have the ability to study, so we had to start working early. But you are different. Now our family is rich, and you should know that your parents' greenhouse can make a lot of money in a year. Not to mention you, we can support ten people."
Li Xu advised earnestly, "If you can get into graduate school, it will bring honor to your parents and this family. Your two brothers and I have nothing to make our parents proud of, but you can."
"You were a good student back then. If you had money, you could have gone to college." Li Miao said, "I just think..."
I just feel that my family has worked so hard for so long, as if all the efforts were made for her.
They all had a hard life, and only she had the opportunity to go to college.
"This is indeed a pity for me." Li Xu smiled bitterly, "But because of this, you should take the postgraduate entrance examination even more."
Seeing the surprised expression on Li Miao's face, Li Xu explained: "We are sisters. You can help me realize the dream I haven't realized yet."
Listening to Li Xu's words, Li Miao's expression seemed a little thoughtful.
"Think about it carefully. Once you've made up your mind, ask your second brother to take you to the bookstore in the city to buy review materials." Li Xu reached out and patted Li Miao on the shoulder.
Then, she stretched and said, "I'm hungry. I'll take the child back."
Li Miao stood up, looked at Li Xu's back, and frowned slightly.
Li Xu took the two children back home and helped Meng Xiaoning make lunch.
I was busy until around three in the afternoon, then I took a bus back to the city.
Li Xu's words worked. On Monday morning, Li Yong took Li Miao to the bookstore, bought a full set of review materials, and then began to review hard.
Ji Zixuan is also doing well in the Mathematical Olympiad class. He goes out early and comes back late every day, full of energy.
Zhang Kun began to run back and forth between the city and the county, and had to take the two little ones with him every day.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year.
After moving into their new home this year, Zhang Kun and Li Xu decided not to go back to their hometown for the New Year. Instead, their family of five would celebrate the New Year in the city.
Firstly, it is really inconvenient to go home and live in Zhang Jun’s house. Secondly, the new house has sufficient heating, and the children will be more comfortable here.
So on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Kun and Li Xu took the children back home.
I brought a lot of things back with me. Since they couldn't celebrate the New Year at home, gifts were essential.
The Chinese New Year is just one day away. Everyone in the family has stopped what they are doing and is preparing for the New Year's Eve tomorrow.
Before I even entered the door, I heard the sound of chickens crowing in the yard.
Most likely he was killing a chicken to cook.
In S City, every household makes one dish during the Chinese New Year: steamed chicken and cabbage.
Kill one or two chickens, add three or four cabbages, and make a big pot full of it.
It’s cold in winter, so you can place the large pots directly outdoors and they won’t go bad.
Thinking of the taste, Ji Yuanyuan was drooling.
The cabbage is stewed until it is soft and tasty.
In the past, it was Zhang Jun who killed the chickens.
So Zhang Kun thought it was Zhang Jun who was killing the chicken in the yard, so he pushed the door open and shouted, "Xiaojun, I bought something for Shuoshuo..."
After entering the door, Zhang Kun was stunned.
The person who killed the chicken in the yard was not Zhang Jun, but...
"Wei Zhenghao?"
Li Xu, who came in later, spoke in surprise.
Wei Zhenghao stood up from the ground and shouted in a somewhat reserved tone, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you here?"
Zhang Kun frowned, said nothing, and went straight into the house.
Li Xu hesitated for a moment and followed Zhang Kun in.
Although Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan were also a little surprised, they were able to control their expressions and followed their parents without changing their expressions.
But Ji Ziang was different. His facial expression was completely out of control.
He looked at Wei Zhenghao in astonishment, not understanding why this person would appear in his grandparents' house at this time.
He walked into the house, looking back every few steps.
Wang Yueju and Zhang Dali reached out to take the things from Zhang Kun and Li Xu's hands and exchanged greetings.
"Just come back, why bring so many things?"
"Yes, if you can't eat it, it will go bad. Save a few boxes and send them to your father-in-law on the second day of the Chinese New Year. They have a large family."
"Why is he here?" Zhang Kun didn't want to greet the old man and asked directly.
Zhang Dali heard this and gave a bitter smile: "Then you have to ask your mother, the living Bodhisattva."
Zhang Kun frowned and looked at Wang Yueju: "Mom, what is going on?"
Wang Yueju was afraid that Wei Zhenghao in the yard would hear it, so she quickly dragged Zhang Kun into the house, and reminded him as they walked: "Keep your voice down, or he might hear it."
