Zhang Kun also took the remote control and turned down the volume of the TV.
Ji Yuanyuan stepped forward and answered the call.
“Yuanyuan, Happy New Year!” On the other end of the phone, it was not Qin Mucheng but Qin Junshan.
Hearing Qin Junshan’s voice, Ji Yuanyuan laughed. “Grandpa, Happy New Year!”
Qin Junshan chuckled.” I’ll keep the New Year’s money for you. I’ll give it to you when you come to visit me. All right, all right. Your Brother Mucheng is looking at me. I’ll give him the phone. The two of you can talk.”
“All right.” Ji Yuanyuan said.
A Moment later, the person on the other end of the phone was Qin Mucheng.
“Yuanyuan, Happy New Year!”
“Brother Mucheng, Happy New Year to you too.” Ji Yuanyuan was all smiles. “Are you guys not allowed to set off firecrackers? Listen to us, it’s very lively here.”
She aimed the phone outside and the sound was transmitted to Qin Mucheng’s ears.
“Did you hear that?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
Qin Mucheng lifted his head and looked at the sky outside. The corners of his lips twitched slightly, “1 heard it!”
After saying that, the two of them actually did not know what to say.
The more they grew up, the more awkward their relationship became.
“Oh right, the results of Brother Zixuan’s recommendation haven’t come out yet, right?” Qin Mucheng asked again.
Ji Zixuan’s results were always first place from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. He also participated in several Mathematical Olympiad competitions and achieved good results.
Hence, Ji Zixuan was on Seventh High’s recommendation list this year.
The school had already submitted the name list, but the results were not out yet.
“The results are usually out in February. We should know when school starts. My big brother’s grades have always been quite good. There shouldn’t be any problems, right, big brother?”
The last sentence was directed at Ji Zixuan.
“Yes.” Ji Zixuan nodded calmly. “Probably.”
” That’s great!” Ji Zi’ang was a little envious. “Doesn’t that mean that Big Brother won’t have anything to do in the second half of the year? Anyway, you don’t have to prepare for the college entrance examination!”
“Are you envious? If you are envious, you should study hard too. In the future, you will also walk the path of guaranteed entry.” Li Xu said deliberately.
“It just so happens that your Big Brother doesn’t have to work so hard in the second half of the year. When you have time, let Big Brother tutor you.”
Ji Zi’ang chuckled, “Forget about me. I’m already in my second year of high school, so it’s too late. Why don’t you guys take care of Yuanyuan? Her grades are good now, and she has the potential.”
In the final exam, Ji Yuanyuan was ranked fourth in the class and 98th in the entire grade.
“Look at how free she is now. She’s starting to write novels again. If Big Brother gives her supplementary lessons, she might be able to enter the top 50 of the grade!” Ji Zi’ang said.
Ji Yuanyuan’s first novel was published online before Christmas.
The response was not bad. Although it did not become popular, it still gained some fans.
Taking advantage of the winter break, Ji Yuanyuan was already thinking about her second book.
It was just as Ji Zi’ang had said. He had not been reading much recently, nor had he done his homework. He was a little free.
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not want to attract too much attention and quickly said, “No need, no need. 1 don’t need to trouble Big Brother. Compared to guaranteed entry, 1 want to take the college entrance examination more.”
High school was only this big, and she was already quite the center of attention.
After all, her older brother was Ji Zixuan, and her second brother was Ji Zo’ang.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were both famous figures in high school.
One relied on his looks and studies, while the other relied on his popularity and connections.
She wanted to keep a low profile and live out her high school life.
She didn’t want too many people to pay attention to her, nor did she want too many people to have too much hope for her.
Compared to being the center of attention, she wanted to amaze the world with a single feat.
Qin Mucheng listened to the bickering on the other end of the phone and the smile on his face became even more obvious.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen looked at each other and quietly went upstairs.
Meng Xiaoning and Li Lei had already decided on the child’s name before they were out of confinement.
“Will he really be called Li Jie?” Ji Zi’ang stood at the side and looked at Li Xu, who was on the phone, in surprise.
Li Xu smiled and nodded, “Your Uncle said that he would give you a big red packet in two days to thank you for giving your cousin a name.”
Ji Zi’ang touched his chin and said regretfully, “See, I told you long ago that 1 can also come up with a name. You should pay that thousand yuan last year for me.”
Li Xu was still smiling at first, but after Ji Zi’ang finished speaking, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Speaking of which, she was really a little headstrong at that time. She felt that if she found someone to pick a good name, she might be able to make a lot of money in the future.
However, the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.
Yes, it was a thousand yuan! With this money, what could she not do?
There was a prospective B University student at home. With this money, she could even let the children flip through the dictionary.
“All right, all right, hurry up and do your homework. School starts tomorrow. Have you finished your homework?” Li Xu said impatiently.
Ji Zi’ang made a face and slipped back into his room.
Indeed, he had not finished his homework. It was due tomorrow, so he had to hurry up.
Li Xu sighed and asked again, “Is the one-month-old celebration going to be a big one?”
Li Lei was a little helpless on the other end of the phone. “Xiaoning wanted to hold a big event, but Li Xiang and Li Nian didn’t hold a big event at that time. It wasn’t too good to do it, so 1 stopped them. When the time comes, let’s just have a family dinner. Remember to come when you and Brother-in-law are free.”
“We’ll definitely be free. We’ll definitely be there when the time comes. By the way, is Miaomiao coming back?”
On the sixth day of the new year, Li Miao followed Gong Wenbai back to B City.
Although it was still the holidays, the young couple were newlyweds after all. Staying at home until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year was already enough to delay things.
“She said she wanted to go back, but I didn’t let her. They were still newlyweds. What was going on with them going back to their parents ‘home? Xiao Gong had already given her enough face by spending the New Year at her house.”
“Yes, you did the right thing. Don’t let her come back. Let’s just have a gathering.” Li Xu said.
The next day was the 16th day of the first lunar month, and the children started school.
A few days after school started, good news came from Ji Zixuan.
His guaranteed admission to B University was now in the bag.
The acceptance letter would be sent to Ji Zixuan before the college entrance examination.
Hearing this news, Li Xu and Zhang Kun looked at each other and did not speak for long.
As he read, Li Xu’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She quickly got up and returned to the master bedroom.
Ji Zi’ang looked at Zhang Kun worriedly, “Dad, what’s wrong with Mom?”
Zhang Kun also stood up and gently patted Ji Zixuan’s shoulder, “It’s fine. Your mother is just too happy. I’ll go and take a look.”
As he spoke, he returned to his bedroom.
In the bedroom, Li Xu sat on the bed and wiped her tears with a tissue.
“It’s such a good thing. Why are you crying?” Zhang Kun sat down beside her and asked helplessly..
