Chapter 723 Are you guys hiding something from me?
It was after six in the evening when Li Julin got off work and returned home. The first thing he did when he entered was to ask Shen Mianmian about her exam, "The questions this year were a bit easier than last year’s, Mianmian, did you find any of them particularly difficult?"
Since everyone present was familiar with her academic abilities, Shen Mianmian didn’t feign modesty but instead told the truth directly, "Uncle Li, if nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I should be able to get into Beijing University."
"Hmm," Li Julin nodded in satisfaction, "You still have exams tomorrow morning; don’t be careless just because you’re good at studying. After you finish your work, review the questions thoroughly."
He had to repeat this advice many times each year, but there were always some students who lost marks due to carelessness.
"I will," Shen Mianmian, not bothered by the repetition, nodded and took note of his advice.
Xiu Min reproached him, "Alright, you start with this the moment you get back. Mianmian has been exhausted from exams all day, she finally gets a break, and you’re still nagging. Go wash your hands and eat, everyone’s waiting for you."
"What’s the hurry to eat? If she doesn’t do well on the college entrance exam, her three years of hard work will be wasted." Although Li Julin said this, he still went to the kitchen to wash his hands and then took his seat at the dining table.
"That’s your problem, you never pick the right time to educate someone," Xiu Min murmured as she followed behind him.
Li Yue laughed, "Mom, stop complaining about Dad. At most, he’ll nag this one last time. Once Mianmian’s exams are over, she’ll be off to Beijing for her studies. It won’t be easy to see her then."
At the mention of this, both Li Julin’s and Xiu Min’s faces revealed a trace of reluctance.
After all, this child was as if they had watched her grow up. They would truly miss her when she was gone.
