Chapter 477 Potential
Zhang Kun also consciously took the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV.
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and answered the phone.
"Yuanyuan, Happy New Year!" The person on the other end of the phone was not Qin Mucheng, but Qin Junshan.
Hearing Qin Junshan’s voice, Ji Yuanyuan laughed: “Grandpa, Happy New Year!”
Qin Junshan smiled and said, "I'll keep the New Year's money for you. I'll give it to you when you come to see me. Okay, okay, your brother Mu Cheng is seeing me. Give him a call and you two can chat."
"Okay." Ji Yuanyuan said.
After a moment, the person on the other end of the phone had become Qin Mucheng.
"Yuanyuan, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year to you too, Brother Mu Cheng." Ji Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Are you not allowed to set off firecrackers over there? Listen to us, it's quite lively here."
She pointed the microphone outside, and the crackling sound was transmitted through the microphone to Qin Mucheng's ears.
"Did you hear that?" Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Qin Mucheng raised his head, looked at the sky outside, and gently pulled the corners of his lips: "I heard it!"
After saying that, the two of them didn't know what to say.
The older they get, the more awkward the relationship between two people becomes.
"By the way, the result of Brother Zixuan's admission has not come out yet, right?" Qin Mucheng asked again.
Ji Zixuan's grades were almost always ranked first from his first to third year of high school, and he participated in several Mathematical Olympiads and achieved good results.
Therefore, Ji Zixuan is on the list of recommended students for admission to No. 7 Middle School this year.
Directly admitted to University B, the school has already submitted the list of names, but the result is not out yet.
"The results are usually released in February, so we should know when school starts. My brother's grades have always been good, so there shouldn't be any problems, right, brother?"
The last sentence was directed to Ji Zixuan.
Ji Zixuan nodded calmly: "I guess so."
Beside him, Ji Ziang was somewhat envious: "That's great, then Brother won't have anything to do in the second half of the year? He doesn't have to prepare for the college entrance examination anyway!"
"Are you envious? If you are envious, you can study hard and get admitted to a university in the future." Li Xu said deliberately.
"It just so happens that your elder brother won't have to work so hard in the second half of the year. You can ask your elder brother to tutor you when he has time."
Ji Ziang chuckled: "Forget it, I'm already in the second year of high school, it's too late, why don't you pay more attention to Yuanyuan, she has good grades now, she has the potential."
In this final exam, Ji Yuanyuan ranked fourth in the class and ninety-eighth in the entire grade.
"Look, she's free now and has started writing novels again. If big brother gives her some tutoring, maybe she can get into the top 50 in the grade!" Ji Ziang said.
Ji Yuanyuan’s first novel was completed online before Christmas.
The response was pretty good. Although it didn't become a hit, it did gain some fans.
During the winter vacation, Ji Yuanyuan has been conceiving her second book.
It’s just like what Ji Ziang said. I haven’t read much recently, let alone done homework. I’ve been a bit idle.
However, Ji Yuanyuan didn't want to attract too much attention, so she quickly said, "No, no, I won't bother you, brother. I want to take the college entrance examination more than being recommended for admission."
The high school is a very small place, so she has always been quite popular among teachers and classmates.
After all, her eldest brother is Ji Zixuan and her second brother is Ji Ziang.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang are both well-known figures in high school now.
One relies on appearance and study, the other relies on popularity and communication.
She now wants to keep a low profile and finish her high school career.
She doesn't want to be noticed by too many people, nor does she want too many people to have too high expectations of her.
Rather than being the center of attention, she wants to make a splash.
Qin Mucheng listened to the bickering coming from the other end of the phone, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen looked at each other and went upstairs quietly.
…
Before the baby was out of confinement, Meng Xiaoning and Li Lei had already decided on their child's name.
"Is your name really Li Jie?" Ji Ziang stood nearby, looking at Li Xu who was answering the phone with a look of surprise.
Li Xu smiled and nodded: "Your uncle said that he would give you a big red envelope in a few days to thank you for naming your cousin."
Ji Ziang touched his chin, a little regretful: "Look, I told you a long time ago that I can also choose a name. The one thousand yuan last year should be earned by me."
Li Xu was still smiling, but after Ji Ziang finished speaking, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
To be honest, I was a little excited at the time. I thought if I found someone to give me a good name, I might be able to make a lot of money in the future.
But the more I thought about it later, the more I regretted it.
Yes, it's a thousand yuan! With this money, what can't you do?
If you have a student at home who is about to get a B degree, you can give the money to the children and let them look up the dictionary.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and do your homework. School starts tomorrow. Have you finished your homework?" Li Xu said impatiently.
Ji Ziang made a face and slipped back to his room.
It’s true that I haven’t finished my homework yet and it’s due tomorrow, so I’d better hurry up and finish it.
Li Xu sighed and asked again: "Should we have a big celebration for the full moon banquet?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Lei was somewhat helpless: "Xiaoning wanted to have a big wedding, but Li Xiang and Li Nian didn't have a big wedding at that time. It's not a good idea to have a big wedding this time, so I put it on hold. We can just have a meal together as a family, and you and your brother-in-law should remember to come when you are free."
Li Xu said: "We are definitely free and will be there when the time comes. By the way, will Miaomiao come back?"
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Miao followed Gong Wenbo back to City B.
Although it is still the holiday, the couple is newlyweds after all, and staying at home until the sixth day of the New Year is already enough to delay things.
"She said she wanted to go back, but I wouldn't let her. She's still newly married, why would she keep going back to her parents' home? Xiao Gong spent the New Year at our house, so we gave her enough face."
"Yes, you did the right thing. Don't let her come back, let's just get together as a family." Li Miao also said.
Everything was settled, and the next day was the 16th day of the first lunar month, and the children started school.
Just a few days after school started, good news came from Ji Zixuan.
His admission to University B was secured.
The admission letter will be sent to Ji Zixuan before the college entrance examination.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.
As she watched, Li Xu's eyes suddenly turned red.
She quickly got up and went back to the master bedroom.
Ji Ziang looked at Zhang Kun with some concern: "Dad, what happened to my mom?"
Zhang Kun also stood up, patted Ji Zixuan's shoulder gently, and comforted him: "It's okay, your mother is just too happy, I'll go and see."
As he spoke, he also returned to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, Li Xu sat on the bed, holding a tissue and wiping her tears.
"It's such a good thing, why are you crying?" Zhang Kun sat down next to her and asked helplessly.
