Shen Jize pinched Shen Xi's cheek and asked, "What? Do you really like the schools in Hong Kong? Actually, the atmosphere here is quite good too. Your mother and I both went to university here."
“I’ve never studied here, but I made a promise with my friends that if I don’t go back to primary school, people will say I’m not keeping my word.”
Shen Xi pouted, clearly saddened to be leaving her familiar friends.
"Do we really have to stay here?"
Although I have my good friends over there, I have my mother, father, uncle, and great-aunt here.
Thinking about it this way, she realized that she wasn't so sad after all.
Just as Shen Jize was about to change his mind, Shen Xi said with a smile, "Okay, then you can study here."
Shen Jize was taken aback. "No, you changed your mind too quickly. You were just saying you couldn't bear to part with your friend."
“Children can’t make decisions for themselves. I’ll call them if I want to. Besides, it’s not like we’re not going back to Hong Kong. But my mom is here. If I stay here to study, my mom can pick me up from school every day.”
"You little rascal, you're quick-witted. Mom can take you to school, but picking you up... it's too early, I'm afraid I won't be off work yet. But it's possible occasionally."
Shen Xi blinked her eyes, "It's so good that I can be with my mom and dad every day."
If the child doesn't resist, then it's time to start preparing the necessary things.
"We never thought about sending our child to school here before. We didn't even look into the schools. Should we send him to a regular school or a private school?"
Without hesitation, Shen Jize said, "A regular school is fine. No matter how well she does in school, we won't put pressure on her."
"There's no need to put pressure on them. This generation of children is under the most pressure right now, so why should I put pressure on them?"
Shen Jize suddenly remembered that Lin Wei had once said that she wanted her child to study in Hong Kong because this generation of children faced enormous pressure to study.
It's not just the children; the parents are just as stressed and anxious.
"But we don't feel any pressure. We have our own family business to inherit, as long as our children aren't spoiled brats."
A month later, Shen Xi was assigned to Jiangcheng Primary School, a key primary school in Jiangcheng City, according to her household registration.
"Isn't that a coincidence? Although that primary school may not look as good as Chaoyang Primary School, it was a key municipal school when Chaoyang Primary School was still called Yarn Factory Primary School."
Unfortunately, Lin Wei bought a house near Jiangcheng University, and her household registration has remained untransferred ever since.
Although Shen Xi has a Hong Kong household registration, her school registration will definitely be under Lin Wei's name.
However, since I'm not from here, I need to pay a tuition fee to study here.
By the way, Jiangcheng Primary School is an affiliated primary school of Jiangcheng University, and it even has Jiangcheng Middle School, which is a combined junior and senior high school.
Given his status as a port city resident, if his grades aren't too bad, he could actually get into Jiangcheng University.
“Studying here means you’ll basically be classmates with everyone from childhood to adulthood, which is not bad.”
"What about extracurricular classes? I've seen a lot of parents taking their kids to those classes. Should we enroll them too?" Shen Jize asked.
Lin Wei looked at the other person, "You think I wouldn't know anything if you didn't tell me? The things you taught Xixi in Hong Kong, is that something you can learn here? Is there anywhere to learn it?"
"I'm not talking about those; I'm talking about regular extracurricular classes."
"I'd be a fool to believe you." Lin Wei sighed. "It's up to the child. Let her learn whatever she likes. We won't stop her from developing any interests, but we won't force her to learn them either."
There's simply no time to learn.
It's been said that this is an era of constant struggle, and even in elementary school, children have almost no free time to do anything else.
After working for only a month, the once sunny and lively Shen Xi became listless.
"Mom, I'm so tired."
"Why are you so tired, you're just a primary school student?" Lin Wei was genuinely puzzled.
"Everyone is learning this and that every day. I feel like everyone is so tired. Seeing others tired makes me feel tired too."
“I remember when you were in Gangcheng, you were learning this and that too. Sometimes you couldn’t even go home until it got dark. You never complained about being tired before. How come you’re complaining about being tired now when you see others being tired?”
"It's not that I'm physically tired, it's just that I feel mentally exhausted," Shen Xi asked. "Mom, will you make me learn this and that too?"
"No need, our family isn't under that much pressure. Just be a good person. But you don't need to relax too much. Your dad has already arranged your summer and winter vacations. If you don't catch up on your previous studies this winter vacation, you might have to study this and that after school."
Shen Xi gasped, "He really is my father."
-
After arranging Shen Xi's schooling, Shen Jize returned to Hong Kong.
This time, he didn't have time to come back until the winter break.
"Will it take that long? There are still two or three months until winter break." Lin Wei frowned.
As before, she reacted negatively; Hong Kong represented danger, and she was reluctant to go there once Shen Jize went.
"Don't worry, there's really no danger this time."
“You always say that, I’d be a fool to believe you. Don’t think that just because you’re in Hong Kong you won’t be bothered. I’ll be checking up on you anytime. I won’t feel comfortable leaving you there alone.”
"Okay, spot checks are welcome at any time."
at any time--
There will always be unexpected events.
A month later, when she went to the port city to give Shen Jize a surprise, a woman was crying and refusing to leave at the gate.
"Who is this person?"
The woman blocked the gate and refused to leave no matter how much the driver honked the horn.
Left with no other option, I had to leave the car where it was.
The person who picked her up was Xiao Zeng. Seeing a strange woman blocking the door, he couldn't stand it and quickly explained to Lin Wei.
"Madam, please don't misunderstand. This woman is from the Jiang family. They tried to harm us before but failed, so the Jiang family sent their most beautiful woman here."
"Actually, we've sent them several times already, but Second Master has never paid any attention to them. Before, they were always sent to banquets, but this time they came directly to our house."
"Why did you bring them here?" Lin Wei asked.
"We wanted to use this woman to persuade Second Master to show leniency, but the Jiang family's affairs are a done deal. If Second Master doesn't handle it well, what if his subordinates follow suit? So this trick definitely won't work. The Jiang family is also at their wits' end."
After speaking, Zeng paused and then said, "I guess the Jiang family gave Miss Jiang a death order. No matter what, she's going to die anyway, so she doesn't care about saving face anymore, which is why this happened."
"Madam, are you going to get involved in this matter?" Xiao Zeng was prepared to offer some advice, but he was worried that Lin Wei was too kind and would plead for the other party.
But before he could speak, Lin Wei said, "What do I care? They sent a woman to my husband's bed, and if I plead for them, do you expect me to give up my place for them?"
"Get rid of him, he's in the way."
