But what Little Aunt said yesterday seed to open a whole new window for them. They could learn English like this.
Zhao Tianlei’s English was average, so he brought a cup of water to his wife without interrupting them.
Da Shu and Erya dared not slack off in their studies, not wanting to be beaten despite being already quite grown, especially since Yun Xiaoxiao, their Little Aunt, was tutoring them.
Sister-in-law Zhao and Second Sister-in-law Zhao wanted to co and help with cooking, but Mrs. Zhao refused them.
"Even though Laosan’s Wife has given them extra lessons, they must review when they go back."
"Mom, we understand, we will keep an eye on them."
High school exams are coming soon. They all hope the children get into university, which would then lead to job assignnts.
Even now, they still think jobs in units are good.
During the New Year, Yun Xiaoxiao tutored them in English and even gave them a test paper to complete in the end.
Even though they passed in the end, their scores were far from satisfying.
"Study hard, and once you reach the Capital City, I’ll mail you so test papers."
"Little Aunt, we got it."
Yun Xiaoxiao left ho again, bringing along Captain Zhao and Mrs. Zhao.
"Dad, Mom, I’ll visit you in the Capital City soon." Zhao Tianhai drove them to the county town to catch a ride.
Once they reached the Capital City, Yun Xiaoxiao took out a stack of money and handed it to Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, this is half a year’s living expenses. I’ll give it to you first. After the new year, I will be busy with a project, and might not return ho much in the evenings, so I’ll leave household matters to you and Dad."
What is the project?
Mrs. Zhao didn’t know.
But Captain Zhao knew a bit.
"Alright, leave the household to us, rest assured!"
Laosan’s Wife is going to be busy now. They ca to the Capital City mainly to take care of their two eldest grandsons.
Laosan’s Wife handed over half a year’s living expenses all at once, and it wasn’t a small amount. Such a big stack must be several thousand, right?
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, take your grandparents to explore the Capital City well these few days."
"Okay."
With household matters handed over to the old and the young, Yun Xiaoxiao focused on her computer and chip work.
Little Aunt Zhao brought her granddaughter Nini to the Courtyard House, taking them on a tour of the Capital City.
"Sister-in-law, you know, the Capital City has changed a lot these years."
Little Aunt Zhao and her husband have been here these years and are accustod to it, though now regretting that their youngest son’s family has only one granddaughter.
The younger son’s family doesn’t work in a unit, so there’s no worry of being fired, maybe at most, they’ll get fined. But the daughter-in-law hasn’t stirred at all.
"Indeed."
Grandma Fang also brought her child to the Courtyard House.
The Fang Chaoyang household’s child is the youngest, but with Fang Chaoyang as such a good-tempered father, the kids have good tempers too.
"You should have co to the Capital City long ago." Grandma Fang, despite living in the Capital City for so many years and never returning again, treats it as a second ho.
"Aunt, we are here now, aren’t we? It’s just my old man couldn’t let go of the team."
The youngest brother and his wife only return once a year during New Year, and rarely visit otherwise, even though the nephew’s kids have co to play in the Capital City.
"How is the team now?"
Mrs. Zhao talked about the current state of the team.
"Growing herbal dicine, rice, fruit trees, raising rabbits, now basically every household has built brick houses."
The team has electricity and roads; it’s obvious that the team villagers now generally have spare money and can have enough food to eat.
