Hu Chunli knew that Yang Jingyi had been studying very hard recently, so when she heard her words, her heart suddenly became excited.
Seeing her daughter’s happy appearance, could it be that she had done well in the exam?
When Hu Chunli thought of this, her hand that took the exam papers became a little shaky.
There were a total of three exam papers. The first one was Chinese. The huge
91 marks at the top of the paper made Hu Chunk’s eyes light up.
She excitedly picked up the Chinese papers and left out the math papers below.
94 points in math!
…..
The last one was English. Although it was a little worse than the previous two subjects, it still had 89 points!
Hu Chunli looked at Yang Jingyi and praised, “What’s your ranking in this cla.s.s?”
Yang Jingyi said proudly, “27th place. It’s more than a dozen places better than last time!”
Ji Yuanyuan also took the opportunity to praise her. “Aunt Hu, Jingyi has been working hard recently. She’s earnest in cla.s.s. Our teacher often praises her in cla.s.s!”
Hu Chunli smiled and leaned down to Kiss Yang Jingyi. She asked, “My daughter is so good. She’s improved so much.”
Yang Jingyi pursed her lips into a smile and reached out to hold Hu Chunli’s hand. “Mom, let’s go home. I’m hungry!”
Hu Chunli carried Yang Jingyi onto the bicycle. “Come, let’s go home and eat.”
With that, she instructed Ji Yuanyuan and the siblings, “The three of you have to go home as soon as possible, understand?”
After the three of them nodded, she rode her bicycle and left.
As for the Ji Yuanyuan and siblings’ results, they were pretty much the same.
As usual, Ji Zixuan was still in first place in the cla.s.s. This time, Ji Zi’ang was in sixth place, but was overtaken by Qi Huanhuan. As for Ji Yuanyuan, she had an excellent grasp of the score this time. She was one rank higher than lase, and he was in eleventh place.
Li Xu was delighted with the children’s results. It was enough for Ji Zixuan to be in the first place. She did not insist on Ji Zi’ang and Ji Yuanyuan being in the first place.
Soon, it was June.
The atmosphere in the Li family became tense. There was only one month left until the final exams.
For Ji Zixuan, this final exam result will affect his high school entrance exam.
It was related to the future distribution of cla.s.ses, so Li Xu and Zhang Kun became nervous as well.
Of course, they did not need to worry about Ji Zixuan’s initiative in learning. Ji Zixuan had always been a very disciplined child, and his habits in life and learning were very good.
They could only put more effort into their diet.
Hence, from the beginning of June, for more than ten days in a row, Ji Zixuan’s favorite dishes were on the dining table at home.
Firstly, it was to let Ji Zixuan have a good meal at night. Secondly, the weather had not been good recently, so there were not many customers at night.
Therefore, it had been almost half a month. Li Xu basically closed the shop at around 6:10 pm and made preparations when she came back. Zhang Kun would be home at around 6:30 pm and the couple would prepare dinner together.
The children would be able to have dinner at 7 pm. If they were hungry, they would first eat some snacks as a cushion.
When they ate, it was just time for the news broadcast. The family watched the news as they ate. When they were almost full, it was time for the final part of the weather forecast.
The more she listened, the more serious Li Xu’s expression became.
“That’s strange. There’s really a lot of rain today. It’s still better here. The rainfall in the southern provinces is really too frightening.” After the weather forecast was broadcast, Zhang Kun said with a sigh.
Li Xu said in a low voice, “That’s right!”
Zhang Kun reminded her, “You have to tell your parents. Don’t invest too much capital in this matter. It’s only June now, and the real rainy season hasn’t arrived yet. Don’t flood to death by then.”
Li Xu nodded. “I know. If it doesn’t rain this weekend, I’ll go home. We’ll talk about it when I get home.”
Even if Zhang Kun didn’t remind her, she had planned to tell her family in the next few days.
She could not tell them about this matter in advance. Otherwise, she would not be able to explain it to them if they were to get to the bottom of it.
The timing was just right. After so many days of continuous rain, she had her reasons for persuading them.
On the weekend, Li Xu brought Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang back to her parents’ house.
Meanwhile, Zhang Kun was at home, taking care of Ji Zixuan’s meals while keeping an eye on the store.
When Li Xu brought her child back, there was no one at home.
They were probably all in the shed, so Li Xu brought her child directly to the shed.
It had rained a few days ago, so the road was not easy to walk on. The mother and child walked very slowly.
Along the way, Li Xu was a little surprised when she saw them.
The sheds in the field looked like they were more than 20 acres.
Other than their own, there should be quite a number of neighbors, right?
From afar, Li Xu saw Meng Xiaoning’s figure.
She was sitting on the ground, and there was a bowl next to her with cut fruits.
Seeing Li Xu and the other two, she quickly stood up. “Big Sister, you’re here?”
She was pregnant for more than four months. She was thin, to begin with, and her clothes were thin. As soon as she stood up, her stomach was a little obvious.
Li Xu went forward to support her. “How are you feeling? Have you been feeling well recently?”
Li Lei had told her that Meng Xiaoning’s reaction in the past few months had been quite severe, and she had vomited a lot.
Meng Xiaoning touched her stomach and shook her head. “I feel better after three months. I’m eating quite a lot now.”
Li Xu was relieved. “That’s good. Oh right, I brought you a box of bird’s nest. I’ll get mother to make it for you later!”
Meng Xiaoning looked a little embarra.s.sed. “Sis, don’t always buy me this and that. It’s too expensive.”
Li Xu patted her hand. “We’re all women. It’s not like I don’t know how hard it is to get pregnant. Besides, bird’s nest isn’t that expensive. We’re not eating it everyday!”
Meng Xiaoning smiled shyly. “Thank you, Big Sister.”
“Oh right, when I came here just now, why did I see so many sheds? Aren’t they all ours?” Li Xu asked.
At the mention of this, the smile on Meng Xiaoning’s face gradually disappeared, she said in a low voice, “Our’s is only 20 acres. The rest are all the neighbors. Seeing that our family has made money, they’re all jealous. They’ve even built sheds after losing all their a.s.sets!”
Hearing this, Li Xu’s expression turned serious.
This year was really not a suitable time. It could be that they would lose everything!
While they were talking, Li Lei came out.
He held a few strawberries with both hands and said excitedly, “Xiaoning, strawberries…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Xu and the silly smile on his face turned into an awkward smile.
“Big Sister, why are you back?”
Li Xu could not help but laugh. “What is this? A strawberry that you planted yourself?”
Li Lei nodded and handed the strawberry in his hand to Li Xu to look at. “We planted an acre of strawberries. It’s not time yet, but there are already so many red ones!”
Ji Zi’ang ran forward and curiously looked at the strawberry in his hand. He asked in a chattering voice, “Uncle, Uncle, do strawberries grow on the ground or on the trees?”
They did not grow strawberries here, so although Ji Zi’ang grew up in the countryside, he had never seen strawberries growing..
