Li Manjun was busy throughout July, and was too busy to care about anything else. It wasn't until she got a call from home that she suddenly remembered that her sister Li Lijun's high school entrance examination results should have been released long ago.
"Sister, I passed the exam!"
On the other end of the phone, Li Lijun's voice was so excited that she heard the sound of stamping feet.
"I was admitted to No. 4 Middle School, sister. I can go to high school in the city. I actually passed the exam. I can't believe it..."
Li Lijun excitedly described to her sister the tense period of anticipation after the exam, as well as the uneasiness before the results were obtained but before the notification was received. Qianqianqianwu
It wasn't until she got the admission notice sent from the post office that her anxious heart settled down.
Then came the ecstasy of passing the exam, and the excitement of eagerly wanting to tell my family and share the joy together.
Li Manjun listened to her with a smile, and the corners of her mouth raised wider and wider. Finally, she was infected by Li Lijun's jumping and jumping joy, and her eyes narrowed in laughter.
Zhao Yong, who was sitting next to her, also noticed that his wife's nervous hands kept pinching the corners of her clothes, and finally slowly let go as if she was relieved, and her fingertips began to tap unconsciously.
After a while, Li Lijun calmed down and asked in a low voice expectantly: "Sister, does what you said before still count?"
"Fine, of course." Li Manjun promised to take care of her tuition and living expenses, so naturally she would not go back on her word.
Think of it as taking good care of her family for the original owner.
Li Lijun didn't expect her sister to reply so quickly, without even a moment of hesitation, and the stone weighing on her heart finally fell.
She asked actively: "Then I will come to your store to work for you for free on weekends..."
Before she finished speaking, she was dragged away by Wang Xiaojuan, "Forget it, study hard and don't cause trouble for your sister. I'll be thankful."
When Li Manjun heard Li Lijun's initiative to pay for her tuition with work, her view of this sister changed a bit. She was not squeamish, but was used to using unruly methods to get more attention from her parents and family.
But she didn't take everything for granted. She knew very well what she should fight for and what she shouldn't ask for.
Wang Xiaojuan said: "Manjun, how is your business doing now? Your father and I can still afford Lijun's tuition, so you don't have to worry about it."
She knew that her eldest daughter could make money, but since she was already married, Zhao Yong would not be happy if she continued to use money to support her family.
"Mom, my business is going very smoothly." Li Manjun knew what his parents were worried about, so he pulled Zhao Yong over and winked at him.
Zhao Yong was defenseless and waved his hands anxiously. What was he going to say?
Unfortunately, Li Manjun had already put the battery into his hand, "Mom, I'm going to go to the toilet first and let Zhao Yong talk to you."
She was in a hurry, and Wang Xiaojuan couldn't keep her even if she wanted to, so she could only tell Zhao Yong the good news that Li Lijun was admitted to high school with a little embarrassment.
"Mom, congratulations. It seems that we are going to have a college student in our family." Zhao Yong reacted quickly and couldn't hide. His mind immediately started to spin. He glanced at someone "going to the toilet" and said, "Such a great thing."
, I, as a brother-in-law, should give Lijun a big red envelope and encourage them to study hard and make progress every day in the future..."
After talking for a while, Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei on the other side of the phone already understood what Zhao Yong meant. He didn't mind his wife helping her parents, and was even very supportive.
After all, we are all a family. If my sister and brother can go to college in the future, he will also be honored as a brother-in-law.
Li Lijun listened to her brother-in-law's voice on the phone and her sister's encouragement. Her hands hanging by her sides clenched into fists. She must get into college!
Li Jianjun leaned into the phone and asked silly and cheerfully: "Brother-in-law, will I get a red envelope if I pass the exam?"
"Yes, brother-in-law will never favor one over another. If you can pass the exam, brother-in-law will also give you a big red envelope." Zhao Yong gradually lost himself in the shouts of brother-in-law and agreed with a generous smile.
Li Jianjun immediately said: "Brother-in-law, I don't want the red envelope, I just want to touch your car?"
"If I pass the exam, brother-in-law, you can teach me how to drive."
"Okay, it's okay. As long as you pass the exam, you can drive as many trucks as you want. Do you know how big the biggest truck is? There is a truck abroad that is so big that you can build a house on it...
"
Zhao Yong actually started chatting, which aroused the young man's heart. He was so stimulated that he swore to God that he would pass the high school entrance examination and the first high school entrance examination.
Li Manjun thought to himself that your kid's last-minute results were too bad for even the fourth middle school.
I felt that going to the toilet was almost the same, so I asked for the phone and asked Li Lijun and Li Jianjun to come to the city for a few days during their summer vacation.
"Really?" The two siblings were crazy with joy. They had wanted to go for a long time, but their parents refused to let them go, for fear of disturbing their sister and brother-in-law.
Li Manjun said with a smile: "I promised you first that you have to be obedient when you come. You are not allowed to run around. If I am not free, you two can stay at home and work with me in the store."
"Okay, I can do my job!" Li Jianjun raised his arms across the phone and showed off his biceps.
Li Lijun snorted, "Your arms are not as thick as my brother-in-law's forearms. Don't cause trouble to my eldest sister."
Li Dawei drove these two annoying kids aside, picked up the phone and called Li Manjun and asked her to help thank Zhao Yong.
"What's the matter?" What's the reason for the sudden thanks? It can't be for the big red envelope Zhao Yong wants to give Li Lijun, right?
Li Dawei said that he had been transferred back from the countryside and was transferred from the Family Planning Office to another department.
This really saved his life. Some time ago, he encountered some troublesome people. The windows of the place where they stayed temporarily in the village were smashed.
Later, the leader personally went to the village and took people from the police station to do some work, and the situation improved.
But who knows when this day will end?
The policy does not say when it must be achieved before departure, and the task indicators are relatively vague. Just thinking about it makes Li Dawei and his colleagues worried.
Li Manjun glanced at Zhao Yong, who scratched his head uncomfortably, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV to watch the news broadcast. Unexpectedly, he thought he had done something bad behind her back.
After telling the siblings what to pay attention to when entering the city, Li Manjun hung up the phone and poked the man's hard forearm with his finger.
"My dad said, thanks to Xiao Zhao, I can come home from get off work on time every day to see him. Manjun, please be nice to me. It's not easy to find such a good son-in-law, so be careful."
The corners of Zhao Yong's mouth turned up slightly, and he asked her sideways: "Then what did you do?"
"I said, dad, I know, I will definitely treat your son-in-law well~"
The elongated ending was so deliberate that the tips of Zhao Yong's ears turned a little red. He was not sure what she meant, so he asked tentatively: "Are you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?"
You are angry when you ask this!
Zhao Yong coughed twice and guessed: "Because I didn't tell you?"
