When Li Miao heard this, she smiled bitterly,â Itâs already too late. My classmate has been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination since her third year. Moreover, I signed up in October and finished the exam in December.â
âThen you can prepare for next yearâs exam.â Ji Yuanyuan also tried to persuade her,â I heard that itâs quite difficult for a teacher to resign after signing a contract with the school. If you really regret it after signing the contract, itâll be difficult for you to take the postgraduate entrance examination again.â
They had never thought about the postgraduate entrance examination before.
If Li Miao came back, she would probably be able to choose any school in the county or city.
However, Li Miaoâs intention now was obviously to stay in B City.
If she stayed in B City, then her academic qualifications were really not enough.
Li Miao was a little hesitant by their words. She was a little restless, âLet me think about it carefully!â
Seeing that Li Miao was also uncomfortable staying here, Qin Junshan instructed Xiao Li, âSend Li Miao home.â
âYes.â Xiao Li nodded quickly.
Li Miaoâs luggage was in the car and had not been unloaded yet.
Hearing this, Li Miao heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got up. She bid farewell to Qin Junshan and followed Xiao Li out.
After Li Miao left, Qin Junshan secretly looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said to her, âTell your Mom about this tonight and let her do something about your Auntieâs work.â
He could also tell that Li Miao was quite obedient to Li Xu.
âAlright, Iâll talk to Mom tonight.â Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
The two children stayed at Qin Junshanâs place until almost seven oâclock in the evening. Zhang Kun then drove over to pick them up.
When they heard the carâs sound, Ziâang quickly packed up the game console and wanted to bring it home to continue playing.
He had been playing for the entire afternoon, but he still felt like he had not had enough.
As soon as he got home, he couldnât wait to connect the game console to the TV screen and quickly got back into it.
At home, Li Xu and Ji Zixuan had already eaten and were tidying up.
âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs the hurry?â Li Xu looked at him and asked in confusion.
âBrother Mucheng gave him a game console.â Ji Yuanyuan explained as she handed a box to Ji Zixuan, âBig brother, this is yours.â
Ji Zixuan dusted his hands and accepted the gift. âHelp me thank Mucheng tomorrow.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, âGot it.â
Zhang Kun took off his coat and took a stool to sit beside Li Xu. As he helped her tidy up, he asked, âHow was it? Did you get anything today?â
Li Xu smiled and nodded, âYes, I contacted a good training class today. Heâll go for a trial class tomorrow. If itâs good, itâll be settled.â
âThatâs good.â Zhang Kun heaved a sigh of relief.
The husband and wife packed up together and soon finished packing everything.
Li Xu piled up the cardboard boxes and placed them at the door, thinking of throwing them down when she went downstairs the next day.
Back home, Zhang Kun had already taken a broom and was cleaning the house.
Seeing this, Li Xu hurriedly went forward, âYouâve been tired for a day. Let me do it. You go and rest.â
Zhang Kun smiled lightly, âIâm not tired at all, but you, youâve accompanied Zixuan for a whole day, right? Go to the sofa and watch TV for a while. Yuanyuan seems to have something to tell you!â
Zhang Kun looked at Ji Yuanyuan as he spoke. It was originally just a stopgap measure, he wanted Ji Yuanyuan to pull Li Xu to sit down.
However, Ji Yuanyuan really had something to tell Li Xu.
âMom, come here. I have something to tell you about Aunty.â She waved at Li Xu.
Li Xu went forward suspiciously and sat down beside Ji Yuanyuan, âWhat could happen to your aunt?â
âAunt said she has been interning at Seastar High School for more than half a year. She wants to sign a contract with this school next year.â
âThen what?â Li Xu was a little surprised,â Isnât that good? â
Li Xu had long known that Li Miao was interning at Seastar High School. Li Miao had said it when she called back previously.
âFrom what Grandpa Qin said, this school doesnât seem to be very good in B City. Itâs considered to be in the middle and lower reaches. The teachers recruited by the better schools in B City are basically all graduate students!â Ji Yuanyuan said.
Li Xu seemed to understand, âYou mean, you want your Aunt to take the postgraduate exam? Then she should be fine. Her grades are the same as your brotherâs. Sheâs been good since she was young.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, âOf course, the higher your education, the more schools she can choose from. However, it seemed that Little Aunt did not want to take the postgraduate entrance examination and wanted to work directly. Sheâll listen to you. Why donât you go and persuade her another day?â
If her aunt really didnât want to take the postgraduate entrance exam, then forget it. She was afraid she did not want to take the postgraduate entrance examination because she wanted to work earlier and earn money faster.
As for what Little Aunt was thinking, it was up to her mother to decide.
After hearing Ji Yuanyuanâs words, Li Xu looked thoughtful, âAlright, after I settle your brother down, Iâll go and talk to your Aunt.â
Hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
The next day, Li Xu brought Ji Zixuan for a trial class, and the results were pretty good. Ji Zixuan was quite interested and listened attentively throughout the entire lesson.
After the trial class ended, Li Xu paid the money on the spot and signed Ji Zixuan up.
Ji Zixuan was in class and had to go home for lunch, so Li Xu did not have time to spare.
They waited until Saturday when Zhang Kun had his day off.
He stayed in the city to take care of Ji Zixuanâs three meals a day while Li Xu brought the two children back to her parentsâ home in S City.
Qin Xiaomin was also at home with her child. The two of them usually stayed at their parentsâ homes and would go back to their in-lawsâ homes on weekends.
The weather was cold, and the house was burning with a gas stove. Qin Xiaomin brought the two children to the heated brick bed, which was filled with their toys.
Meng Xiaoning was boiling water in the kitchen. There were only two sisters-in-law and two children at home.
âLi Miao isnât at home?â Li Xu asked after they entered.
âSheâs on the mountain,â Qin Xiaomin said quickly, âSister, are you looking for Miaomiao?â
Li Xu sat down on the brick bed and stretched out his hand to Li Xiang, âXiangxiang, comes here. Give Eldest Aunt a hug!â
Li Xiang was more than two years old and could walk quite well. He could also speak fluently.
She walked towards Li Xu and plunged into Li Xuâs embrace, âEldest Auntâ¦â
Li Xu picked up the child and said casually, âIâm thinking of talking to Li Miao and telling her not to sign the contract with the school in a hurry. If she has the ability, taking a postgraduate degree is not a bad choice.â
Qin Xiaomin was a little surprised, âPostgraduate entrance examination?â
Li Xu nodded, âWe didnât understand the situation before. The competition for teachers in B City is quite big. Itâs different from ours. There arenât many choices for undergraduate students. Li Miaoâs current university can only be considered to be in the middle and lower reaches of B City.â
Meng Xiaoning came in from the kitchen. The kitchen was only separated by a wall, so she naturally heard their conversation.
âItâs not like our family canât afford it. If Miaomiao is willing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, then let her take it!â Meng Xiaoning said..
