Ji Yong stood up and said, "You said Ji Ling got the provincial top scorer in liberal arts? Are you making fun of me?"

Xu Fang couldn't figure it out, "I said she got the top score in the imperial examination, what did she laugh at you for?"

"It's because you don't agree with Xiaoling repeating a grade." Ji Yong lowered his voice a few notches, fearing that his daughter in the outer room would hear him. "If the child doesn't do well in the exam, then she can just repeat a grade. What's wrong with that? Our Xiaoling is pursuing knowledge, and it's not shameful to learn knowledge. Tell me, what does your child think when you mock her with these words? I have to criticize you for this, severely."

Xu Fang was furious. "Ji Yong, stop talking nonsense to me. I think you saw that Ji Ling did well in the exam, and you want to rely on this to turn things around at home, right? Well, have you been dissatisfied with me for these years? Okay, tell me everything today, and I'll listen to it."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down. Look at you, you get so angry when I say that." Ji Yong apologized in a low voice, his eyes shining, "Did Lingzi really get the provincial top scorer in liberal arts?"

Xu Fang: "Ji Yong, why did I fall in love with you in the first place?"

Ji Yong chuckled, "It's just because I'm good-looking."

"Yeah, you only have a face but no brains at all. Why should I bother with a fool like you?"

Ji Yong smirked, "Look at what you said. I will always be a fool in front of my wife."

Xu Fang was no longer fooled by his sweet words. "Listen carefully, I'm going to tell you one last time. Ji Ling got the provincial top scorer. I didn't lie to you. I don't have the heart to do such a boring thing to mock her."

She didn't like her eldest daughter, but she didn't dislike her either.

Her husband's speculation made her feel uncomfortable. Did he really not want to see his eldest daughter doing well?

Ji Yong said sternly, "Okay, you didn't lie to me. How many points did Xiaoling get in the exam?"

Xu Fang: "Okay, okay, I'll lie if I want to. She repeated a year and still didn't pass the exam. You have reason to be angry."

Xu Fang: She really didn’t lie.

"Dad, my mom didn't lie. My sister got the top score in liberal arts." Ji Ke pushed open the door, like a child who had done something wrong. "I wasn't eavesdropping. I just wanted to come over and tell mom that the dishes are done."

Ji Yong looked at his wife.

Xu Fang turned her head away.

Ji Yong laughed out loud, "My good daughter, you finally made her father proud. Well done."

He slapped his wife on the shoulder, acting like a good brother, "You kept teasing me, and I didn't believe it."

Xu Fang said, "Yeah, I've been teasing you like a fool."

Ji Yong: Knowing that this was a big misunderstanding and his wife was angry, Ji Yong wisely chose to "cool down" first. He touched his nose and walked out, muttering to himself, "I'll go ask Xiaoling how many points she got in the exam."

He left with his feet greased.

Ji Ke stood at the door, frightened by Xu Fang's gloomy face and dared not go in. Ji Yong pulled her to the back room.

When Xu Fang saw this scene, she knew there was no need to be angry, but she felt a tightness in her chest whenever she thought about her husband misunderstanding her.

Is she really that bad to her eldest daughter? She fell into deep thought.

In the back room, Ji Yong learned that his daughter scored 621 points. He excitedly hugged his daughter and walked around the room twice, muttering, "No, I have to go tell everyone."

Ji Yong went out happily.

Ji Ke didn't stay any longer and went back to the front room.

In the evening, Ji Yong came back after showing off outside.

Sitting by the bed washing my feet, I was still talking about setting the table.

"We need to set up a few tables for this. Xiao Ke also passed the exam, so it's a good opportunity for the two sisters to celebrate together."

"That's right. Things are different now. Ji Ling is the top scorer in the province. Who would say bad things about her behind her back now?"

At this point, Ji Yong remembered an important thing, "By the way, which school did Lingzi apply for?"

He was so excited today that he forgot about it.

Xu Fang replied in a buzzing voice, "Peking University."

With a clang, Ji Yong kicked over the foot-washing basin. Xu Fang looked at her own basin with a distressed look.

"Can't you be gentler? This is a new enamel basin I bought this year. Look, you've knocked off another piece of the paint."

Ji Yong was dumbfounded. "Lingzi got into Peking University? Really Peking University?"

Xu Fang was holding her breath. Holding her breath.

Here it comes, here it comes again.

In the afternoon, we said that the top scorer in the college entrance examination was like this, and now we are saying that the school is going to have another wave?

Xu Fang couldn't help but burst out, "Ji Yong, let me tell you, from the time you came back from fighting today until now, I have tolerated you countless times."

Ji Yong licked his face and went forward to coax him.

Xu Fang pointed at him and said, "Stop right there, don't move."

As a result, Ji Yong walked even faster, "Wife, I was wrong. I reflect on myself and I will seriously review my mistakes."

Looking at the ground which was originally just wet with water, it was now full of big footprints. Xu Fang: That night, Ji Yong slept on the fabric sofa at home.

The next day, Ji Yong had a sore back and waist after sleeping, but the smile on his face was still there. He brought up the matter of the pen during dinner, completely ignoring Xu Fang's wink at him.

Ji Ling felt that Xu Fang was quite pitiful, her eyes were so tight that they were cramping, but it was a pity that her father Ji Yong was too thick-skinned to know anything about it.

Each person was given a pen. Ji Ling took it very carefully, mainly because Xu Fang looked unhappy. Ji Ling took the pen and went back to the house. She had to go out to find materials for making soap during the day.

She had also thought it through. At worst, she could just buy ready-made soap, boil the soap herself, and then add some spices and give it a new look. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price.

Xu Fang gritted her teeth. She was in a bad mood and always wanted to find something to vent her anger. "Did you ask Ji Ling where she got the money?"

Ji Yong explained it again, and then said, "You should also pay more attention to her. The child made a mistake and knew it was wrong. She borrowed money and did such a dangerous thing to pay it back. If something happens, it will be too late for us adults to regret it."

Xu Fang: Is she shooting herself in the foot? In the end, Ji Yong had to report to the factory and left first.

Xu Fang shouted behind him, "August 6th is my mother's birthday. I promised her that our whole family will go back."

Ji Yong agreed immediately, "Then let's go a day earlier, it will also show our sincerity. I'll get the birthday present, don't worry about it, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Watching her husband leave, Xu Fang let out a deep breath.

One thing we have to admit is that, apart from the fact that Ji Yong's brain doesn't work well sometimes, he is usually very considerate and smart, and he understands things very quickly.

By this time yesterday, Xu Fang's mood had finally improved.

As a result, when she arrived at the store and heard Xiao Liu say that her eldest daughter had been there and bought all the soaps, she almost fell over.
