After delivering the clothes, Li Jia didn't discuss the payment with Yan Ruyu, because people like her usually don't carry much cash and just use their cards wherever they go. So, they could talk about settling the bill later.
That evening, Li Jia arrived at Li Xiaoqing's house. Hai Mingyue was tutoring Li Xiaotong, so Li Jia didn't disturb her. Instead, she sat outside and chatted with Li Xiaoqing. The topic of conversation was naturally the study desk. After discussing it last time, they went to F City. Now that they were back, they had to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
"Xiaoqing, how about this? I'll pay for two sets of study desks for you, but there's a condition. Which of you has more free time? You can go to Brother Li's shop on weekends to help out. That will cover the cost of renting the desks. After two months, the desks will be yours, and you won't need to help out at Brother Li's shop anymore. Is that okay with you?" Li Jia said after considering the options.
“Yes, I understand what Brother Li means. But the value of the study desks far exceeds what we could earn working at Brother Li's shop for two months. If we calculate one month as four weeks, two months is eight weeks, which is half a month. Half a month is far less than the money we could earn for two study desks.” Li Xiaoqing looked at Li Jia's smiling face and blurted out her thoughts in one breath. At the same time, that familiar feeling she had for Li Jia welled up in her heart again. “Why is Brother Li so good to his three siblings? Is he really the eldest brother?”
"It's alright, we can just work on it for a while longer, haha, it's settled then. I'll rent the study desk back tomorrow, that will make it much more convenient for Xiaotong and Xiaoyan to study. By the way, did Xiaoyan run off to his room again? That kid didn't even say hello when I came in." Li Jia said with a smile. Just as she finished speaking, Li Xiaotong and Hai Mingyue walked out of the bedroom. After seeing Li Jia, Hai Mingyue smiled faintly and said, "Hello."
"Teacher Hai, thank you for your hard work these days! How is Xiaotong's learning progress?" Li Jia said softly, looking at the woman who had captured her heart.
Every time Li Jia sees Hai Mingyue, she immediately recalls the scene of her throwing herself into the arms of that handsome man, and feels a pang of discomfort in her heart. There have been many times when Li Jia thought she had forgotten about that incident, but as long as Hai Mingyue appears in front of her, she will always involuntarily think of it.
"Xiaotong's progress is very obvious. If he can maintain this level before the college entrance examination, he should have no problem getting into an ordinary university!" Hai Mingyue said, turning back to look at Li Xiaotong with a gratified smile on her face.
"That's all for today. I'm going back now. Do more of the key types of questions that the teacher talked about today. Make the most of your time and believe in yourself! You will definitely succeed! Keep going!" Hai Mingyue said to Li Xiaotong calmly, her tone very flat, without any of the usual persuasiveness, but it was more effective than anything else in Li Xiaotong's ears. She had remembered everything Hai Mingyue had done for her during this time.
"Thank you, Teacher Hai! I will work hard and live up to the expectations of my teachers and family." Li Xiaotong nodded heavily after saying this, encouraging herself.
"Teacher Hai, let me take you home. It's quite a distance from here, and I'm afraid you might not be able to get a taxi soon." Hai Mingyue didn't object to Li Jia's suggestion and nodded gently. "Thank you for your help!"
In fact, Hai Mingyue also really enjoyed being with Li Jia. Listening to music, even without saying a word, made her feel very comfortable.
"Xiao Tong, we'll talk when Brother Li comes back. I'm going to take Teacher Hai home first." After saying that, Li Jia glanced at Li Yan's room, who hadn't shown up yet. She thought to herself that she would have to talk to this kid when she got back. It wasn't a good sign for him to stay cooped up in his room all day.
"Okay, Brother Li, drive carefully and be safe!" Li Xiaotong said softly to Li Jia at the door, then watched Li Jia and Hai Mingyue go downstairs.
"Can I ask you a question?" Hai Mingyue asked softly from inside the car.
