Primary school life was both painful and happy for Xu Shi 'an. It was painful because he had to study, but happy because he was with Xiaoxiao.
Not only could they be together at school, but they could also have lunch together. It was great. The only flaw was that Xu Jin was there. Otherwise, he could go to Xiaoxiao's room and take a lunch break with her.
Aunt Gong Ping had a strange look in her eyes. Occasionally, he heard her muttering, "He's learning to chase girls at such a young age. If he falls in love with someone else in the future, won't he be beaten to death by that black guy?"
Falling in love with someone else?
Funny!
"I'll always like Xiaoxiao!"
Xu Shi 'an announced loudly. Then, Qin Hao flicked his head with a black face. He didn't even know when Uncle Qin came behind him.
"What are you doing? It's normal to like our Xiaoxiao!" Qin Maocai was very happy to see the two little guys playing together. It was a regret of decades. If only Qin Hao or Xu Qing had been a girl …
Now, it seemed that his wish was going to come true.
"Hello, Uncle Qin!"
"Hello, Grandpa Qin!"
After greeting, Xu Jin pulled Shi 'an away by the strap of his school bag. He didn't want him to embarrass himself here.
The two little guys arrived at the flower shop. Xu Qing was sitting there leisurely waiting for customers. Today, Jiang He and Gong Ping went out to look for Manjusaka. They heard that they could be found in the wild.
Xu Jin put down his school bag obediently and took out his homework. If he did more homework now, he could play more when he went back. Xu Qing didn't set a time limit for them to study at night. He only set a time limit. As long as they were efficient, they could have a lot of free time.
And the stupid Shi 'an would only scratch his head when he went back.
"Shi 'an, for a man, regret is a very humiliating word. If you think you'll regret something, it's best not to do it."
Xu Qing fiddled with the rose branch in his hand and said slowly.
Xu Shi 'an, who was in the corner and planning to secretly break a flower to bring to Xiaoxiao tomorrow, paused. He carefully thought about the way Jiang He waved the scabbard and couldn't help but touch his butt. He obediently moved his hand away from the flower and gently stroked it with concern.
"I'm just taking care of it."
"You don't need to take care of it."
"Oh."
Xu Shi 'an reluctantly looked away from the flowers.
"You can't even bear to give her a beating, and you still say that you'll love her forever." Xu Jin glanced at him and said.
"I … I …"
"Shi 'an, think carefully." Xu Qing reminded him again, "I don't even dare to pick my mother's flowers."
"…"
"What if Mommy doesn't find out?" Xu Jin fanned the flames.
"You will definitely tell on me!"
Xu Shi 'an angrily gave up on the thought. He didn't like her for now. He would sleep at night and continue liking her when he woke up tomorrow.
"What secret?"
Jiang He and Gong Ping walked in from outside the door. When they saw Shi An sitting nervously at the table and rummaging through his bag, they looked at Xu Qing questioningly.
"What did he do this time?"
"Not yet." Xu Qing smiled and glanced at Xu Jin.
Hearing that, Jiang He was relieved — not because he hadn't done it yet, but because Xu Qing knew about it.
As long as Xu Qing kept an eye on them, the two cubs wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Are the results out?" she asked.
"No!"
"They're out."
"…"
"…"
Xu Shi 'an put on the Pain Mask. Why was there a creature like his sister in this world?
She was also very good at studying and fighting …
She reluctantly took out her results. Shi An scored 80 points. Logically speaking, it wasn't low, but … but …
Xu Jin scored 98 points.
Grades one, two, and three were very simple things. From Jiang He's point of view, she could score 80 to 90 points on the test papers, so he came to this conclusion. Xu Jin also proved this.
If he didn't do well, it meant that Xu Shi 'an wasn't serious.
Gong Ping rubbed Xu Shi 'an's head amusingly. This kid was very funny. She especially liked to see him angry and helpless when Xu Jin bullied him. Secondly, she liked it when he wore the Pain Mask.
"How many points did Xiaoxiao get?"
"She also scored 80 points."
"You two are quite compatible." Gong Ping said happily.
"If you can score 20 points more than her, you can tutor her." Jiang He took the test paper for Xu Qing to sign. Her handwriting wasn't good, so this kind of thing should be done by a scholar.
Math was still okay, but in language, Xu Shi 'an had only managed to score 80 points every single time since he was in grade one to grade three.
Back home, Xu Shi 'an continued to suffer because he had to do homework. If he didn't do homework, he wouldn't even be able to watch TV at night.
For children, the biggest enemy every day was the detestable homework. A world without homework was heaven.
Xu Jin did her homework well and quickly. She had already relaxed before dinner and squatted on the ground to play with the little turtle.
The beetle grew up with the siblings and also grew up together. It had shed its shell a few times. Her favorite thing was to gently brush it with a soft toothbrush when it shed its shell. It was very satisfying.
"Xiao Jin, have you finished your homework?"
"Uh … yes." Xu Jin was a little vigilant. She suddenly wondered if Xu Qing would add more if she finished her homework so quickly.
Xu Qing really did think that, but on second thought, she still had to add Shi 'an. Look at how Shi' an scratched his ears and cheeks …
She could only let Xu Jin tutor her occasionally.
Jiang He was cooking in the kitchen and glanced at the living room from time to time. Xu Qing was discussing with Xu Jin about labor in exchange for payment.
"Are you trying to avoid the responsibility of washing the dishes?"
Jiang He asked when Xu Qing came in to steal the scrambled eggs.
"I'm trying to cultivate her financial awareness. She knows that money is hard to come by, so she won't like to collect stationery boxes so much. She already needs a few for her exams."
The purchasing power of five yuan now was roughly equivalent to one yuan when Jiang He first came. The price of the pig trotter rice had risen to thirty to forty yuan. Washing the dishes cost two yuan, which was enough for her to save for a long time.
As for Shi 'an … she hadn't finished her homework yet, so she had to struggle with it.
"I used to save money when eating buns. I can eat two buns with one yuan." Jiang He muttered softly. Although he felt that it was not good to give them money, Xu Qing … seemed to rarely make mistakes.
"Where can we find two buns for one yuan now?"
"We can make it ourselves …"
The family of four couldn't respond to the n-1 policy no matter what. The two children were growing up, and the couple was also very good at eating. They took a bowl of rice each, and only a small part of the big pot was left.
After the meal.
Xu Qing leisurely sat on the sofa and picked his teeth, enjoying the benefits of having more labor at home.
Xu Jin looked at the rag with disdain, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's fine as long as the dishes are washed, right?"
"Wash them clean."
"Okay!"
"…"
Xu Qing watched his daughter run to Shi 'an's room and had a bad feeling. He got up and went to the door to eavesdrop on the siblings.
Could it be that they wanted to split the loot?
"… As long as you perform well, isn't it easy to get flowers? Look at how I got my stationery box … Listen to your sister, be more proactive and help them with the housework. "
Xu Qing:??
He couldn't accept this Xu Jin anymore.
