Chapter 149: Pretending to Understand
Just when she was thinking of taking advantage of the autumn breeze, she found the doors shut and nobody home, leaving her so mad that she didn’t eat well for days. Now she couldn’t benefit from the situation, and she shouldn’t even think about asking Qin Xiangyang to help with the fieldwork anymore.
Now, she regrets ever letting that damned girl out of the house; otherwise, she wouldn’t need to do the household chores herself.
Qin Pengfei is now in high school, and this year Qin Xiangmei has just started middle school. With such a long journey, Hu Li really doesn’t feel at ease about her daughter. She and Qin Guohua went to send their daughter to middle school together. Illiterate, they stared at the class list for a long time but couldn’t find their daughter’s name.
Qin Xiangmei felt extremely embarrassed. Hu Li kept saying, "Look, this one looks like Xiang Mei’s name," but Qin Guohua would nod one moment and shake his head the next. "I think that one looks like it, Qin Xiangmei, yeah, three characters," obviously clueless about reading but still pretending to understand.
The students around them laughed, and Qin Xiangmei couldn’t tell whether they were laughing at something else or at her parents. Her face became more and more disgruntled. She thought it would have been better if her parents had said nothing at all, and let her sort it out herself.
She quickly found her class on the list of names and went to register.
As soon as the teacher saw Qin Xiangmei, he couldn’t help his eyes light up; the young girl was quite pretty.
"Do you have any special talents?" the teacher asked her while flipping through Qin Xiangmei’s file.
"I can sing and dance," Qin Xiangmei tilted her chin up proudly as she spoke.
"Yes, that’s right," Hu Li immediately chimed in, "At her school, Xiang Mei is always involved in cultural activities. She participates whenever there’s a program."
