Chapter 54: Cookies or Happiness
When Ji Ziang returned to the city from the countryside, he was a little unhappy.
After returning to the city, he could no longer run around the village and could only stay at home and do his homework every day.
Thinking of this, it would be strange for Ji Ziang to be happy.
I haven't been home for several days, and the house is cold and deserted.
Li Xu went to the kitchen first and lit the stove. There was no central heating in the community in the small county town. If you wanted to keep warm, you could only use a coal stove and burn charcoal to keep warm.
After the house warmed up, Li Xu boiled some hot water and arranged for the children to take a bath one by one.
While Ji Zixuan and Ji Ziang were taking a bath, she squatted in the kitchen and scrubbed the children's clothes.
Ji Yuanyuan squatted beside her, looked at Li Xu's hand with some distress, and asked quietly: "Mom, do we have enough money to buy a washing machine?"
The money is all with Li Xu, and she really doesn't know how much money she has earned during this period.
Li Xu knew that her daughter was worried about her. She felt warm at heart, "No need to buy a washing machine, mommy's hand washing is cleaner."
She raised her head, looked at Ji Yuanyuan, and asked quietly: "When mom makes money, how about buying a TV for Yuanyuan? A color TV, so Yuanyuan can watch cartoons."
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head: "I don't like watching cartoons, I just want to buy a washing machine."
Li Xu smiled, "Okay, go ask my brother if he has finished washing."
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Li Xu was worried about the money, and she couldn't persuade him for the time being.
He ran to the bathroom door and knocked: "Big brother, second brother, are you done washing?"
The two brothers washed together, and Li Xu didn't have to worry about anything. They could help rub each other's backs and pass clothes to each other.
Ji Ziang shouted from inside the house: "It's almost time, wait another ten minutes."
Ji Yuanyuan responded and ran to stand in front of Li Xu again.
After the two brothers finished washing, Li Xu scrubbed Ji Yuanyuan thoroughly.
Almost as soon as I finished washing, someone knocked on the door.
Ji Ziang ran to open the door, and it was Yang Jingyi. Ji Ziang looked at Yang Jingyi, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Yang Jingyi poked her head in and looked around. Not seeing Ji Yuanyuan, she asked disappointedly, "Where's Yuanyuan?"
Ji Ziang put his chin down and pointed to the bedroom: "I just took a shower and changed clothes."
Ji Yuanyuan had heard what Yang Jingyi said and shouted, "Wait for me, I'll be ready soon."
After putting on her clothes, when Ji Yuanyuan came out, Yang Jingyi was sitting on the sofa with a bag next to her.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan coming out, Yang Jingyi smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, look, I brought you some cookies. They were brought back from Russia by my uncle. They are delicious."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the chubby girl and was also a little surprised: "Yang Jingyi, why have you lost so much weight?"
After not seeing her for a winter vacation, all the fat on the little chubby girl's face disappeared.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and pinched Yang Jingyi's little face, and said with some regret: "It hurts to touch it."
Yang Jingyi said with a smile: "I have finished reading the books for the second semester of the first grade and the first semester of the second grade. When school starts, I will tell the teacher that I want to skip a grade and sit at the same table with you."
Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised. This little fat girl really had this kind of perseverance?
But what had I done to her? Why did she like me so much? She didn't even go out to play during the winter vacation just to sit at the same table with me.
Ji Yuanyuan touched her face and said to herself, "Am I really that likable? Am I popular with both men and women?"
Ji Yuanyuan's voice was too soft, Yang Jingyi didn't hear it clearly, and immediately asked, "What?"
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head repeatedly: "Nothing, I just mean you are so amazing."
Yang Jingyi smiled shyly: "It's a deal, when we get to the second grade, you have to sit at the same table with me."
She spoke as if her skipping a grade was a done deal.
Before Ji Yuanyuan could say anything, the little fat girl...
No, you can’t call her little fat girl now.
Yang Jingyi jumped down from the sofa. "I should go back to eat. I'll come and play with you tomorrow."
Having said that, he ran away.
Ji Ziang stepped forward and opened the cookies that Yang Jingyi had brought.
When Ji Yuanyuan saw Ji Ziang like this, she was furious.
She stepped forward with her short legs and snatched the biscuit from Ji Ziang's hand: "How dare you eat it? Look at Yang Jingyi."
Hearing Ji Yuanyuan's words, Ji Ziang was confused.
What's wrong? Women are troublesome and get angry easily.
Ji Ziang came forward and asked with a smile: "Yuanyuan, be good and give me a bite."
Ji Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly turned and he thought of a good idea.
She hid the biscuits behind her and asked Ji Ziang: "This biscuit is mine. If you want to eat it, just agree to one of my requests. How about that?"
Ji Ziang nodded hurriedly: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Go and take a test paper, and I'll give you... three pieces." Ji Yuanyuan thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.
Ji Ziang's eyes widened. "Can you change your request?"
Ji Yuanyuan said with a straight face: "No, if you want to eat my food in the future, this is the requirement."
Ji Ziang looked at Ji Yuanyuan with a sad face, and did not speak for a while, as if he was considering the feasibility of this request.
He hates studying the most, but that cookie looks delicious.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.
Then just write it casually. Yuanyuan only asked him to do the test but didn't ask him to get all the answers right.
Thinking of this, Ji Ziang felt that he was very smart.
However, how could Ji Yuanyuan not see through Ji Ziang's little trick.
Just as Ji Ziang turned around, Ji Yuanyuan stood behind him and said calmly: "You must have an accuracy rate of more than 50%. You are not allowed to look at the answer book or ask Big Brother. Otherwise, you will not get any of the delicious food in the future..."
Inside the house, Ji Zixuan heard the conversation between the two people and said calmly: "I will supervise him."
Ji Ziang's face fell instantly. He slowly returned to the bedroom and sat down behind the desk.
Then he lay on the table, struggling in his heart for a minute.
Should we do it or not?
If he does it, he might get some delicious cookies. If he doesn't do it, he will be happy!
Should you choose happiness or delicious cookies?
A minute later, Ji Ziang took out stationery and test papers from his schoolbag, lay down on the table, and started doing the test seriously.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then Ji Zixuan looked over and the two exchanged glances.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at Ji Ziang's back scratching his head, Ji Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly.
Ji Ziang couldn't continue like this, he had to think of a solution. Since he loved to eat, he could tempt him with food.
It doesn't matter how outstanding he is. No matter how outstanding he is, he will definitely not be better than Ji Zixuan.
But I can no longer hold the last place in the class.
After Li Xu finished hanging up the clothes, she came over and saw Ji Ziang lying quietly in front of the desk. Her eyes widened.
What's going on? When did my son become so self-aware? He went to study on his own without me even asking him to?
Ji Yuanyuan ran to Li Xu's side on her short legs, leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words.
When Li Xu heard this, his eyes lit up.
Is this really possible?
