Good schools require examinations, and some famous schools even check parents' family backgrounds. Of course, families with good backgrounds know that they don't need to check.
Lu Jiaxin said: "I will choose a school within three days."
Gu Xiuxiu smiled and nodded, then asked her what talents she had, and explained that unlike the mainland, middle schools in Hong Kong focus more on the all-round development of students: "Jia Xin, the good schools here have set up many extracurricular activities for students to participate in, so that students can play to their strengths and explore their potential in extracurricular activities. If you have potential in sports or music, and you win awards in competitions, these will be plus points for your college entrance examination next year."
Lu Jiaxin knows this, quality education! This kind of education is very friendly to the middle and upper levels, but it is more difficult for the lower levels to change their fate through knowledge. This is why many people in later generations say that the domestic college entrance examination is the fairest.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I am good at painting, but my teacher said that I am too mechanical and I can't achieve anything if I just entertain myself. Besides that, I can play the guqin and dance a little."
Guqin was learned by her original body, and she played it well until she graduated from elementary school. Piano and dancing were her strengths, and she was forced to learn them by her mother. It was so sad to talk about it! Gu Xiuxiu said this just to remind her, and she didn't expect that there would be a special factory. She asked in surprise: "Good at painting? What are you good at?"
She had to hide her innocence in Sijiu City, after all, those people knew her original self very well, but she didn't have such worries when facing Gu Xiuxiu. She said, "I drew the appearance of the old woman who wanted to kidnap me, and my uncle and cousins took the portrait to search for her in various towns and villages, and found her in two days."
Gu Xiuxiu became interested when she heard this: "Then draw a picture for me when you have time."
Lu Jiaxin agreed with a smile.
After finishing the discussion, Gu Xiuxiu felt a little tired and went back to her room to rest. Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to continue reading the newspaper. She planned to go out tomorrow to buy the latest economic newspapers and magazines.
After Jiaxin left, Gu Xiuxiu asked Aunt Mei to close the door, then looked at Aunt Hong and asked, "Yanyan hit you, but you said Jiaxin hit her; and about the food, it just so happened that the chef made cold food for Jiaxin to eat?"
Women can eat crabs, but they cannot be eaten for a long time, as they are too cold. Not to mention Jiaxin's weak body, even if a healthy girl eats too much, it will affect her fertility.
Hong Gu didn't expect Lu Jiaxin to be so stubborn and tell Gu Xiuxiu everything. She didn't defend herself. She knew Gu Xiuxiu's temper after taking care of her for so many years. The more she defended herself, the angrier she would get. She lowered her head and said, "Madam, it's my fault this time. I just thought she was too stubborn and wanted her to obey. Madam, her temper will offend Mr. Da and his wife sooner or later."
Aunt Mei also helped to intercede: "Hong Gu's behavior was not appropriate, but the cousin is indeed too stubborn. If she gets into trouble in the future, you, the old lady, will have to clean up the mess."
Gu Xiuxiu looked at the two people and said helplessly, "She just said that I don't have to pay for her studies, she will earn it herself. Do you think she is just being strong? No, she has the ability."
Both of them looked surprised.
Aunt Mei said, "Madam, the tuition and various expenses are tens of thousands a year. My cousin is new here and doesn't know anyone here. How can she earn so much money?"
Gu Xiuxiu didn't mention Lu Jiaxin's great achievements in the mainland. There was no need: "You should be more polite to her in the future. If you do this again like today, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship for many years."
Lu Jiaxin has such a tough temper because she is confident. If she gets angry, she can just pack up and leave. As for studying, it is not a problem for Su Heyuan to find a school for her. So people should have ability, so that they don't have to bow their heads wherever they go.
Aunt Mei pushed her and she came back to her senses. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Old lady, I know I was wrong. I will be respectful to my cousin in the future."
Gu Xiuxiu nodded and went to bed to rest.
The two of them watched her fall asleep and tiptoed out. Back in her room, Hong Gu wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "My cousin offended the second young lady as soon as she came. She will definitely cause more trouble for the old lady in the future. I also want to temper her and make her change her bad temper."
Unfortunately, the old lady didn't understand her efforts, which made her feel wronged.
Aunt Mei handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said in a low voice, "The old lady was hurt by Miss Yujun, and now she relies more on her cousin and young master who are related by blood. She wants to train her and her brother so that they can take care of her in the future. Although the young master is smart, he is young, and the cousin is a man with a plan."
This care is not the kind of care that means serving tea and water, or changing her poop and pee. Gu Xiuxiu has money, so she can just hire a professional to take care of her. Gu Xiuxiu is worried that she will become too old to move or too confused, and the He family will take her property and abandon her, or even do something to her like they did last year. With Gu Haifan and Lu Jiaxin watching over her, they dare not do anything to her.
Hong Gu thought Lu Jiaxin was bragging: "She just found an ancient painting and sold it for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. What kind of ability can she have? The eldest master and the eldest son are so filial, why can't the old lady understand it?"
Aunt Mei felt that her heart was biased, which was very dangerous, so she reminded her: "Whether it is the cousin, the young master or the master, you have to hold the money in your hands to be safe."
In fact, she knew that Gu Xiuxiu no longer trusted the He family and the people around her. She brought Gu Haifan and Lu Jiaxin here because both children were very smart. It would be best to provide them with education and a good life. It would be the best to reward them when they become talented in the future. If she was greedy, she would still be constrained by the He family. After what the cousin said today, the old lady would only rely on her more. She had carefully thought out these things herself, and it was not easy to tell Hong Gu.
Hong Gu did not refute this because she held on to her own money tightly and it would be impossible for her nephews and nieces to make any moves on her.
Aunt Mei advised, "You should be polite to your cousin from now on. She will be going to college in a year at most, and she will come back less often by then."
Hong Gu said, "It's not that easy to get into university. There are so many kids in Hong Kong who can't get in, but she came from the mainland and studied for only one year and was able to get in?"
She had heard that the inland areas were very poor before, and she confirmed the rumors when she went to the capital last time. Even in the capital, there were few cars. In Hong Kong, many white-collar workers in companies could buy cars.
Aunt Mei was very worried about her after thinking for a while, "She has to study and spends less time at home. Just be polite to her."
Not close, but don't offend either. This is her attitude towards Lu Jiaxin.
Hong Gu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
