Qian Chunhua knew very well that Zhao's mother's concern was genuine. She was not trying to pry into any privacy, but really wanted to know the latest situation of the three children.
Therefore, she did not hide anything and said frankly: "Yes, mother, Qingsong and Qingfeng are both studying in Yongning Academy. Qingsong is working hard now and his grades are not bad. And Qingfeng..."
Qian Chunhua couldn't help laughing when he said this. "He's like a naughty little monkey, always getting into trouble."
Since Qingfeng entered the academy, in addition to the first time when his parents were called to school for beating Liu Shuchao, he was later scolded by the teacher for imitating Sun Wukong twice and his parents were asked to go to school.
The teacher said that Qingfeng and Dong Cong were imitating Sun Wukong in the academy, and other students followed suit, disrupting the class order.
The teacher angrily asked Qian Chunhua to go to school again and asked her to discipline the child strictly and not let the child read so many miscellaneous books.
Qian Chunhua continued, "Xiao Ling is doing well in Yuejian Academy. She is very smart and lively now. Mother, I will bring them to see you next time they have a holiday."
However, Qian Chunhua's words made Zhao's mother even more worried.
When Zhao Yongwen and his wife came yesterday, they also mentioned this matter.
In Zhao's mother's opinion, the tuition fee of Yongning Academy was ten taels of silver a year, which was simply a sky-high price. She really couldn't understand how the second branch of the family could afford it.
Qian Chunhua understood Zhao's mother's worries and explained, "After we moved to the capital, Xingshan and I both found jobs. Xingshan worked in the Dong family's cloth shop, and I worked in the Dong family's bookstore."
She paused, then continued, "Qingfeng has a very good relationship with the Dong family's kids. The kids were able to go to the academy thanks to the help of the Dong family."
Qian Chunhua did not lie. Her writing to the Dong family could indeed be considered as work for the bookstore.
The recommendation letters provided by the Dong family did enable the children to enter the academy, so they were able to enter the academy with the help of the Dong family.
After hearing this, Zhao's mother and Sun Meiping were completely relieved.
It is a blessing for the second family and their four children that they can have such an opportunity.
Zhao Yongwen's voice came from outside: "Second sister-in-law..."
Qian Chunhua turned around and said with a smile, "You're here?"
Sun Meiping's eyes fell on her husband's face. At that moment, she seemed to have predicted the outcome of today. She asked softly, "Still haven't found him yet?"
Zhao Yongwen nodded silently, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his eyes, "Yes, I still haven't found one. Nowadays, shops outside are not looking for accountants, and private schools are not short of teachers either."
Times were tough, business in shops was declining, and even the number of students going to private schools decreased significantly.
Zhao Yongwen's words revealed helplessness and deep worry.
"No, wait a minute and look for one." Sun Meiping was very virtuous and did not put too much pressure on her husband.
They chatted for a long time before Qian Chunhua said goodbye and left.
Qian Chunhua did not mention the affair that Zhao Yongqiang had with Huanghualing to Zhao's mother.
Even if Zhao Yongqiang is no good anymore, in Zhao's mother's heart, he is still her child and she will worry about him no matter what. Why should she make this old woman worry anymore?
Sun Meiping stood up and walked Qian Chunhua to the gate of the courtyard.
Qian Chunhua then noticed that there were some vegetables planted in the yard, but these vegetables looked listless and obviously could not be saved.
Sun Meiping smiled awkwardly, "My mother and I planted it together, but unfortunately..."
Qian Chunhua immediately understood that without enough water, these vegetables would naturally not be able to survive.
"Do you have a well at home?" Qian Chunhua asked curiously.
Sun Meiping replied: "Yes, in front."
But the water in the well is barely enough for the family to drink, and the two livestock also need water, so the rest can be used to water the vegetable fields.
Qian Chunhua followed Sun Meiping into the kitchen. She saw a water tank with turbid water inside.
