Fortunately, Qiao Nan pretended as if she didn't hear anything, which made Zhu Baoguo feel a little relieved.
Because Qiao Dongliang helped Qiao Nan take on this "private job" of Zhu Baoguo, Qiao Nan started to take care of Zhu Baoguo at school from Monday to Friday, and at the Li family on weekends.
The Zhu and Li families did not have high expectations for Zhu Baoguo's academic performance, and they just wanted Zhu Baoguo to be quieter recently.
So Qiao Nan took care of Zhu Baoguo for half a month, and the people in the Zhu and Li families never asked Zhu Baoguo how his studies were going recently.
Qiao Zijin returned home this weekend, and found that Qiao Nan was not at home early on Saturday morning. Qiao Zijin frowned: "Mom, Qiao Nan ran away again?"
Where is Qiao Nan hiding to read?
"Mom, why is Qiao Nan acting like a rat recently? How many rat holes does she have? She goes out every day on weekends and doesn't stay at home. You don't do anything about it? Where did Qiao Nan put her books? It's impossible for someone to put books for Qiao Nan for free,
right?" "How should I know?" Ding Jiayi prepared breakfast and put it on the table: "Hurry up and wash up, eat and read well. Don't be outdone by Qiao Nan. Mom is going to work. As for other things, we can talk after mom gets back from work."
After saying that, Ding Jiayi went to work without caring about Qiao Zijin's reaction.
"Huh, everyone is so busy." Qiao Zijin felt uncomfortable because she was the only one left in the empty house.
In the past, on weekends, her father went to work and Qiao Nan did housework. She just chatted with her mother, but now she was alone.
Anyway, she was free, and it was impossible for her to read at home. If she went out to look for Qiao Nan, she might be discovered by her husband somewhere reading.
This thought stopped the moment Qiao Zijin opened the door to go out. Not to mention the compound, the whole Pingcheng was not big, but not small either. Where could she find Qiao Nan?
After thinking about it, Qiao Zijin rolled her eyes and took out the romance novel she borrowed from the library from her schoolbag.
Qiao Dongliang had somewhat cut Qiao Zijin's expenses. Even though Ding Jiayi was working now and would give Qiao Zijin a little more, Qiao Zijin still owed several yuan in foreign debts for the dance skirt she had bought before, and she had to pay it back slowly.
So now when Qiao Zijin wants to read a novel, she dare not buy it anymore, but borrow it. Not only does it save money, but she can also return it directly after reading it, and she won't be caught by her family.
When lying on the bed reading her favorite novel, Qiao Zijin suddenly thought that it was actually good to be alone at home.
If Qiao Nan was there, she would still worry whether Qiao Nan would enter her room, find her reading a novel, and then complain to her parents.
"Nannan, I only go home once every two weeks, and you haven't even had a good talk with me. Where have you been all day?" At dinner time, Qiao Zijin asked Qiao Nan in front of the whole family: "Even if you really have to stay out, at least come back for lunch at noon, right?"
At first, it was good that Qiao Zijin was alone at home. No one disturbed her while she was reading novels quietly.
But at noon, Qiao Zijin was unhappy.
Ding Jiayi was not at home, and Qiao Nan didn't come home, so no one cooked for Qiao Zijin.
Unlike Qiao Nan who took care of all the housework, Qiao Zijin knew nothing about housework. She would be scared by caterpillars even when washing vegetables, so how could she cook?
Ding Jiayi was so busy that she didn't think about this and went to work.
Qiao Zijin had no choice but to go to Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang's room, took out fifty cents to buy a pack of instant noodles, and then dealt with it.
When she heard Qiao Zijin mention lunch, Ding Jiayi realized that her eldest daughter didn't know how to cook at all.
But in front of her husband, Ding Jiayi was not convenient to ask her eldest daughter how she solved the problem of lunch.
Qiao Nan raised her eyelids and pulled the corners of her mouth sarcastically. She didn't start not going home on weekends this week, it has been more than a month.
It's because her mother is at work and there is no one to make lunch for Qiao Zijin at noon, so Qiao Zijin would "care" about her.
"Zijin, you don't have to worry about Nannan. Nannan is at the Li family, nothing will happen to her." Qiao Dongliang felt embarrassed when he talked about this.
This was specially ordered by Mr. Li. Qiao Dongliang knew that Mr. Li had heard that Qiao Nan was malnourished, so he specially asked Qiao Nan to stay at the Li family for dinner.
Thinking of this, Qiao Dongliang looked at Ding Jiayi with cold eyes.
Qiao Dongliang was very angry when he knew that Ding Jiayi asked Mr. Li to help get Qiao Zijin into the affiliated middle school, but he did not argue with Ding Jiayi, because it was useless to argue, Qiao Zijin had already gone to the affiliated middle school, and he was making rapid progress. No
matter how much they argued about this, there would be no result. Qiao Dongliang could only acquiesce and pretend that he didn't know.
"What did Nan Nan do at Grandpa Li's house?" Qiao Zijin was stunned.
"To review homework for Baoguo."
"What, Nan Nan is reviewing homework for Zhu Baoguo?" Qiao Zijin raised her voice, like a duck being strangled by the neck, her voice was both harsh and noisy: "Dad, you are crazy, Nan Nan is already in junior high school, and she will have to take the high school entrance examination next year. Her own academic performance has declined, and she doesn't even have time to review. You let Nan Nan review homework for Zhu Baoguo, will Nan Nan still take the high school entrance examination next year?"
Qiao Nan, who was eating, paused for a moment, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Qiao Zijin with some surprise.
But then, Qiao Nan returned to normal.
Asking her to review homework for Zhu Baoguo would indeed lead to such dangers and accidents.
However, Qiao Zijin certainly didn't say this because she cared about her. She was probably worried that if she had a good relationship with Zhu Baoguo, she would have the care of the Li and Zhu families in the future, and her future would not be bad. She would not be enslaved by herself anymore, so Qiao Zijin was anxious. They
were born of the same mother and had been sisters for two lifetimes. That's what Qiao Zijin thought.
If it weren't for the relationship with the Zhu and Li families, how could Qiao Zijin be willing to take the initiative to ask for Zhu Baoguo's tutoring when Mr. Li came to Qiao's house last time?
But it had been more than half a month since this happened, and Qiao Zijin thought it was over. She never thought that not only was it over, but it had already started.
Ding Jiayi, who was sitting next to Qiao Zijin, kicked Qiao Zijin and said, "Qiao Nan and your father know the situation well. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Is this kid stupid?
Whether she does well in the exam is Qiao Nan's business. Qiao Nan has already promised that if she doesn't do well, she will definitely not ask her family to spend 5,000 yuan to send her to the affiliated middle school.
If Qiao Nan really does poorly in the exam, she doesn't believe that Qiao Nan still has the nerve to continue to study in high school and college. Isn't Zhu Baoguo's situation just what she wants?
Is Zijin stupid?
"Nan Nan, can you handle it?" Qiao Dongliang was also stunned for a moment, because he really hadn't thought of this level.
