“Thank you,” Qin Xiaojie smiled and said politely.
Liu Guihua saw that Qin Xiaojie was handsome and could not help but ask a few more questions, “1 heard from your sister that you’re working in B City now?”
Qin Xiaojie nodded, “In the future, I can let Little Sister Li Miao take my car so she won’t have to squeeze on the train.”
Liu Guihua still did not notice anything. She smiled and said, “If there’s a chance, I’ll have to trouble you. However, most of the time, Li Miao takes Mu Cheng’s car. It’s quite convenient.”
Qin Xiaomin rubbed her temples with a headache and urged again, “Alright, alright, you should hurry back. Just drive my car back. I’ll get your brother-in-law to pick it up another day.”
Li Miao was in the corner. She kept her head lowered and did not speak. She did not even look at Qin Xiaojie.
Qin Xiaojie retracted his gaze and made a disappointed “oh” sound. He put down the teacup and greeted the others before driving away.
No one took this little episode seriously.
Zhang Kun stayed at the Li family’s house until 5 pm before leaving with his family.
Li Lei did not return even after they left.
After the New Year, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to start and Qin Mucheng was about to leave.
Now that he was a few years older, Qin Mucheng no longer held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand with reddened eyes to express his reluctance.
He looked at Ji Yuanyuan calmly, “I’m usually very busy from Monday to Friday. I’m free at noon and evening on Saturday and Sunday. Call me if you have time.”
Qin Mucheng was the only child of the Qin family. Qin Haowen and Cheng Shuqin attached great importance to his education.
He was going to inherit the family property in the future, so he had to be nurtured from a young age.
Therefore, the older he got, the busier he became.
There were many classes, and there were classes from Monday to Friday nights.
On Saturday and Sunday, hevonly had to attend classes during the day, so it was relatively easy.
Throughout the year, only the winter holidays and summer holidays were completely relaxing.
However, Qin Mucheng was a very disciplined person.
Even if he came to S City, he didn’t forget to bring his textbooks.
“Alright, I’ll remember it.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded vigorously.
With that, Qin Mucheng got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye to Ji Yuanyuan and the rest.
After the car drove away, Qin Junshan sighed, “This brat, the older he grows, the more inconsiderate he becomes.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked over in surprise, “How could that be? Brother Mucheng is so busy. He came to S City during the winter vacation and summer vacation just to accompany you, Grandpa. How considerate!”
When Qin Junshan heard this, he could not help but laugh. After laughing, he sighed, “Who knows if he came to see me or you!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded seriously, “Of course, he’s here to see you. Brother Mucheng is the most filial one.”
Qin Junshan reached out and rubbed Ji Yuanyuan’s head, “Alright, I’ll treat it as him accompanying me! Are you guys going to school in the city when school starts? Then you won’t be able to come and see me on Saturday and Sunday, right?”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward and held Qin Junshan’s hand, “My brother will be attending Mathematical Olympiad classes on Saturday and Sunday, but Second Brother and 1 are free. We’ll come and accompany you when we’re free.” “Alright, it’s settled then!” Qin Junshan nodded.
“Alright, it’s a deal!” Ji Yuanyuan agreed loudly.
After Qin Mucheng left, Ji Yuanyuan and the rest started school.
As the paperwork had not been handed over yet, they had to go to S City’s middle school for two days before school started.
After Li Xu and Zhang Kun completed their transfer procedures, they would go to school in the city.
On the first day of school, Zhang Kun sent his wife and children to the shop early in the morning.
They came too early. The school hadn’t even opened yet.
They stayed in the shop until eight o’clock. After meeting up with Hu Chunli and the others, Li Xu brought the children to school.
The children went to the classroom while Li Xu and Hu Chunli went to the teacher’s office.
Although the transfer procedure was not troublesome, it required a lot of things. Moreover, if a few children transferred together, there would be more things.
They had not seen each other for a semester. Before Ji Yuanyuan entered the classroom, she could hear the commotion inside.
She smiled and walked into the classroom.
She wondered how Fang Xinyi was doing after not seeing her for the entire winter break.
However, the moment she entered the classroom, the smile on Ji Yuanyuan’s face froze.
Fang Xinyi was not in her seat.
What was going on?FangXinyi had always come early. Why was she still not here on the first day of school?
Ji Yuanyuan sat down in her seat suspiciously.
About ten minutes later, the bell rang and the teacher stepped into the classroom.
Fang Xinyi still hadn’t arrived, and the seat beside her was still empty.
Ji Yuanyuan was a little worried. What was going on?
Teacher Huo also felt that it was strange, so he used the office phone to call Fang Xinyi.
Fang Xinyi’s house naturally did not have a phone, but the village did.
When school started, the teacher asked everyone to fill in their home or village phone numbers so that the teacher could find them if anything happened.
During the second period, Ji Yuanyuan could not help but run to Teacher Huo’s office to ask about Fang Xinyi’s situation.
“Teacher Huo, why isn’t Fang Xinyi in class? Is she sick?”
Ms. Huo sighed, “I’ve called. Fang Xinyi’s grandmother said her family’s financial situation isn’t good, so she won’t let Fang Xinyi go to school.”
After a pause, he continued, “You’ll be transferring soon, so you don’t have to worry about Fang Xinyi’s matters. 1’11 pay Fang Xinyi a home visit on Saturday and the weekend.”
Fang Xinyi’s grades were so good that it was a pity that she did not go to school.
Moreover, she was in the first grade of middle school and was still in the nine-year compulsory education stage. With all kinds of scholarships and poverty subsidies, it was almost free to go to school.
No matter what, he had to persuade Fang Xinyi to come back.
Ji Yuanyuan heard this and returned to her seat with a heavy heart.
She barely listened to the rest of the class.
Fang Xinyi was definitely not willing to drop out. At that time, she was on the school field and said to herself firmly, that she had to go to school and not let everyone down.
Fang Xinyi’s mother might not be very cultured, but she understood that knowledge could change fate.
Fang Xinyi’s mother had probably gone to work in the city a long time ago. It was already the 16th day of the first lunar month. No matter what industry she was in, she had already started work.
Could it be that Fang Xinyi’s grandparents felt Fang Xinyi was a girl and did not need to study, so they wanted her to stay at home and work? And her mother didn’t know about it at all, and Fang Xinyi couldn’t persuade her grandparents.
After thinking this through, Ji Yuanyuan stood up from her seat..
