Chapter 422: Ability Underestimated
"Such a good child, why not give it to me instead of giving it to others in the future? Let's arrange an engagement for us. It would be great if you can let Zixuan be my son-in-law in the future?" Hu Chunli said to Li Xu jokingly.
"Come on, your Jingyi has a lively personality, how could she be interested in Zixuan, who is so taciturn? Besides, a baby marriage is a marriage arranged when a child is a baby. Our Zixuan is so old now, I can't do such a thing."
Seeing this, Hu Chunli sighed helplessly: "Who said my daughter doesn't like it? Maybe she likes Zixuan? After all, Zixuan is so handsome, it's not impossible."
Li Xu listened to Hu Chunli's words and shook his head with some amusement.
"Okay, since you don't want to, I can only let my daughter work harder on her own."
Hu Chunli sighed in pretended disappointment, "I hope my daughter can be more motivated in the future and win Zixuan over for me."
The three of them were busy as they talked, and the sky gradually began to brighten.
Big opening promotion for the new store, all dishes are 50% off.
There was a loud speaker at the door, repeating this sentence over and over again.
People gradually came into the store and the three people started to get busy.
Hu Chunli and Li Xu both have experience in opening new stores, and more than once.
So I can handle it with ease.
But Deng Juan was a little flustered.
When her husband was still alive, she had been working diligently with him to farm in the countryside.
During the slack season, her husband would do odd jobs while she would stay at home to take care of the children.
I have hardly ever been out, let alone done business.
It was her first time facing so many people and her first time selling things, so she was nervous and scared.
Fortunately, Li Xu and Hu Chunli are both patient people.
They also remembered how they felt when they first experienced this scene, and were naturally very tolerant of Deng Juan.
Although Deng Juan is not good at speaking, she has a good learning ability.
After a whole day, I have been taught well.
After a few days, I had no problem running the store by myself.
I don’t know if their store has a good location or is well accepted by the public, but it has had good sales since it opened a few days ago.
The turnover is even higher than that of the county stores.
This was something Li Xu and Hu Chunli had never expected.
They had previously predicted that the store’s sales might not be comparable to those in the county.
After all, they were already well-known in the county, coupled with the previous news.
But in the city, they have virtually no foundation.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed beyond their expectations that they could still achieve such a high turnover.
In the blink of an eye, it is already mid-March in the Gregorian calendar.
The Mathematical Olympiad that Ji Zixuan signed up for has already begun.
The first test will be held at our school.
Ji Zixuan had just transferred to this school, so the teacher wasn't very familiar with this student's grades.
After all, there is no way to refer to the previous performance in the county.
The levels between schools are different.
You may be the top student in other schools, but in this school you may not even be the top student in the class.
Therefore, all the teachers did not have high hopes for Ji Zixuan to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad.
However, when the test results came out, all the teachers were dumbfounded.
Ji Zixuan's score ranked first.
Only then did the teachers realize that Ji Zixuan was actually a contestant whose abilities were underestimated.
And this contestant is likely to represent their school, or even the entire W city, and achieve good results in the re-examination.
After the trial, Ji Zixuan's treatment in school improved rapidly.
The teacher will set aside time for him to study Olympiad mathematics, and other teachers will give him individual tutoring.
Ji Zixuan's pressure suddenly increased.
Li Xu, who originally had no expectations of him, also became nervous.
The re-examination was scheduled for late March, which happened to be a Saturday, and the location of the re-examination was a middle school in City B.
Li Xu would naturally go with them. Since the store was currently guarded by Hu Chunli and Deng Juan, it didn't really matter whether she was there or not.
When he heard that they were going to City B, Ji Ziang also clamored to go.
He was going to see his brother Mu Cheng and his aunt.
There was no other choice, so after Li Xu and Zhang Kun discussed it, they decided that the whole family should go with them.
Ji Zixuan is now the school's key training target. He has to be taken by the school and go to the school in City B with other students for the exam.
The family had to split into two groups.
Ji Zixuan, his classmates and teachers from school, and Zhang Kun drove with others to City B.
The exam was scheduled for Saturday morning, so they had to leave on Friday evening.
Ji Zixuan and his classmates went there in the afternoon and stayed in the hotel together.
Zhang Kun set out after work. He walked slowly at night, so it was after 10:30 in the evening before the family arrived at the hotel where Ji Zixuan and his family were resting.
This time they came suddenly and they did not tell the Qin family.
To avoid the Qin family being too enthusiastic, which would make them feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Ji Zixuan was managed by the school, he felt a little more at ease being able to stay in the same hotel with his family.
At 7:30 the next day, the students were called up and led by the teachers to the examination venue.
Zhang Kun and his family followed the school car all the way to the outside of the examination room.
Since they couldn't enter the examination room, they could only wait outside.
The exam lasted two and a half hours, and the whole family was getting a little anxious waiting.
Especially Li Xu, she was very nervous.
Sometimes I get off the bus and walk around for a few minutes, then get back on and sit for a few minutes.
After going back and forth several times, Ji Ziang became a little impatient.
"Mom, it's not your exam, can you please not be so nervous? Can you sit down and be quiet for a while? You keep going back and forth, and it's making me nervous."
Li Xu rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? Do you think this is an ordinary exam? This is the Mathematical Olympiad, how can I not be nervous?"
Ji Ziang sighed deeply and whispered to Ji Yuanyuan, "What if she's nervous? No matter how nervous she is, she can't help Big Brother."
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and covered his mouth: "Second brother, stop talking about mom and be quiet."
At 11:15, the exam was over.
Li Xu became even more nervous, "I don't know how Zixuan did in the exam? I tell you, when Zixuan comes out, you can't ask, understand?"
Ji Ziang yawned: "Got it."
About ten minutes later, the teacher came out with the students taking the exam.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun hurried over to meet them.
The teacher in charge had met Li Xu before when Li Xu went to help three children with the transfer procedures.
"Teacher, Zixuan will not go back with you. Since we are here, we want to bring him here to play for two days." Li Xu discussed with the teacher in charge.
