Chapter 55 - 055 Getting older by the year
Li Xianglu sighed and hurriedly brought over a bowl of sugar water, instructing, "Have some hot water." As she spoke, she picked up some books from beside her and said, "These workbooks were borrowed from the grandson of Grandpa’s friend. They’re very detailed in their steps. Take them home and have a look."
Li Jianqing’s eyes lit up as he took them. All four books were for middle school. He said joyfully, "Today, Mom and Daddy went to the county and signed me up while they were there, but I can’t get in until after the exams."
Li Xianglu finally understood. No wonder they were waiting at the entrance to the county middle school; they went there to register Li Jianqing. She then said, "Third brother, I’m worried that Teacher Wang might deliberately prevent you from passing, right?"
As soon as Li Jianqing heard this, he was deeply shocked. Indeed, Teacher Wang was at that middle school in the county. If he were to trip him up, he might not even be able to attend school.
Li Xianglu then leaned on the table and whispered a bunch of ideas to Li Jianqing.
After hearing her out, Li Jianqing instantly felt his sister was too cunning.
But indeed, her method was practical to prevent Teacher Wang from causing trouble.
After sending off Li Jianqing with the books, the rice porridge was ready. It wasn’t the thick kind, but rather half water, half rice, to which she added a bit of sugar and a baked potato before taking it inside.
The old man was also a bit hungry. After eating and urged by Li Xianglu, he soaked his feet before going to bed to sleep.
