However, her sense of beauty didn’t last long, as Jiang Mianmian placed a thick stack of books in front of her on the coffee table, "Mom, it’s ti for you to study."
"Huh?" Su Wanyu glanced at the foreign language books on the coffee table, instantly feeling overwheld.
These past few days Her uncle’s family had co over, and Su Wanyu had been accompanying them around town every day, having not studied for several days. If it weren’t for her daughter’s reminder, she would have forgotten all about it.
"Aiyah, sweetheart, can you give your mom a break for one day? At such a young age, being so stiff and rule-bound isn’t good," Su Wanyu complained, gazing at her daughter discontentedly.
"Yeah, sweetheart, your mom has been tired from cooking these past two days. Let her rest, start studying tomorrow," Jiang Changhai, overhearing the bickering between his wife and daughter from the kitchen, hurriedly ca out to diate.
Majority rules, and seeing her parents both saying so, Jiang Mianmian didn’t insist further, "Alright, Mom, you rest for the day then."
"Mm-hmm, co on, sweetheart, watch TV with mom," Su Wanyu pulled Jiang Mianmian by the hand, and pressed her down on the sofa.
The next morning, Jiang Changhai and his wife hurried off to work.
When they ca back in the evening and finished dinner, Su Wanyu turned on the TV again.
When Jiang Mianmian once again placed the foreign language books in front of her, even Jiang Changhai switched sides.
"Mom, you haven’t studied for several days now. You know, learning is like rowing upstream, not to advance is to drop back. Don’t you want to go to the city with ? Think about Grandpa Yu’s words, think about and Dad." Before Su Wanyu could speak, Jiang Mianmian went on a long spiel, making her mother’s head spin.
"Yeah, wife, our daughter is right, have you forgotten our agreent to go to the city?" Jiang Changhai understood his wife’s nature very well and joined in encouraging her.
"Alright, alright, I know, I didn’t say I wouldn’t study, look at the two of you, misunderstanding . I ant to turn off the TV first, then study," Su Wanyu stubbornly insisted.
Jiang Mianmian and Jiang Changhai exchanged a glance, they didn’t expose her poor lie, but instead, to maintain her dignity, they played along.
Jiang Mianmian blinked innocently, "Then I’m sorry, Mom, I misunderstood you."
"Heh heh, I just knew my wife isn’t soone without self-discipline. Actually, even without our daughter saying anything, I’m sure you would’ve started studying after a while," Jiang Changhai earnestly flattered.
"That’s right, I’m definitely the most self-disciplined person," Su Wanyu turned off the TV, grasped the foreign language book, and resud studying.
And so it went, every evening, Jiang Mianmian studied alongside her mom.
Ti flew by, and there was just one more day before school started.
Jiang Mianmian packed her howork into her schoolbag and picked out a little skirt to wear the next day.
She was heading into ninth grade this term, and she didn’t know any of the students in her class, so tomorrow would be her first eting with her classmates. She wanted to make a good impression on her new classmates.
While Jiang Mianmian was planning for the start of school, Jiang Changtao led Zhiwen and Zhiwu, carrying big and small parcels, to her ho.
It just so happened that Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu had the day off and were resting at ho. Seeing the father and sons arrive, Su Wanyu greeted them with a soft smile, "Laosan and Zhiwen and Zhiwu have co over. Co inside, it’s hot out, isn’t it?"
"It’s alright, we ca out late, the sun wasn’t so scorching," Jiang Changtao said with a smile, wiping off a bead of sweat.
