Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 191 Home Tutor
Not long after Yan Jiekuang took the child home, Ji Lian came back from get off work and asked Yan Jiekuang what he had done that day. She came back at noon and didn't see him.

Yan Jiekuang reported his day's schedule truthfully, and finally mentioned Grandpa Ji. Yan Jiekuang felt that Grandpa Ji had nothing to do now, and it might not be good for him to stay at home all the time, even if he could just take a stroll in the park.

Ji Lian thought for a moment and said, "My grandfather doesn't have many hobbies. He only started to like chess after coming here. He used to love reading books, but later, as there were fewer books, he read less."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Okay, I'll send some books to the old man tomorrow. By the way, my little sister will come over later, and I'll tell her something, and you can listen too."

Ji Lian nodded, and then said: "Then let's make noodles, and you should make the sauce."

Yan Jiekuang nodded in agreement, and the couple went to the kitchen to busy themselves. Yan Jiedi was really good at hurrying. Yan Jiekuang had just finished frying the sauce and was preparing some small ingredients when Yan Jiedi came in pushing a cart.

Yan Jiekuang said jokingly: "You are lucky, or are you doing it on purpose? The food is good and you came at the right time."

"That means I'm a lucky person." Yan Jiedi laughed.

"Okay, let's eat first. I'll tell you something after dinner." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yan Jiedi said, "What's going on? I feel a little uneasy. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Good, let's eat first." Yan Jiekuang responded.

Yan Jiekuang and his wife had dinner with Yan Jiedi. Yan Jiedi said that her third brother's sauce was absolutely the best.

After dinner, Yan Jiekuang took Ji Lian and Yan Jiedi into the study. The children were sleeping, so no one disturbed them.

Yan Jiekuang took out two sets of papers without saying a word and handed them to the two. Ji Lian was fine because she saw Yan Jiekuang writing the papers. But when Yan Jiedi saw it, she immediately looked disheartened.

"I've told you many times, don't say anything and finish the test in two hours." Yan Jiekuang put his hands behind his back and walked out of the room.

The two had no choice but to start answering the papers. They were very conscientious and did not ask each other questions. Time passed by bit by bit. Two hours later, Yan Jiekuang came in and put away the papers while saying to Ji Lian, "The child is awake. I just changed his diaper. Go and check it out."

Yan Jie Di wanted to slip away, but Yan Jie Kuang glared at her, and she obediently followed Ji Lian to see the child.

Half an hour later, Yan Jiekuang took the test paper into the master bedroom in the backyard. Ji Lian and Yan Jiedi were a little nervous when they saw Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang said, "Do you know why I'm testing you?"

The two shook their heads, and Yan Jiekuang said, "It will be announced in the second half of this year. The college entrance examination will be resumed this year, and the examination time will be at the end of this year."

The two were shocked and stared at Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang continued, "You two are both weak in certain subjects. Chinese is better, but you just barely passed in math. This is not a good result. What's more, you may have to take an additional test in English. You haven't even learned the basics yet. You have to work hard."

Yan Jiedi asked her brother, "Really? Third brother, you are not lying to me, are you? If I can get into college, I will definitely work hard. I was delayed because I was working in the past two years."

Ji Lian also looked at Yan Jiekuang with longing, and Yan Jiekuang said: "What I said must be true, don't say anything when you go out. Also, I will tutor you two in your lessons starting tomorrow, especially English."

The two nodded heavily. Ji Lian hesitated and said, "Should I still take the exam? What will I do with the child then?"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'm still here for you, you two just work hard." The two people's hearts were filled with hope, which was brought to them by Yan Jiekuang. In fact, Yan Jiedi was a good student and had been working hard to take extra classes, but she only attended classes for two years. Apart from the workers, peasants and soldiers college students, she had no chance to go to college.

In the days that followed, a cram school was set up at home. Yan Jiekuang also called Xu Jingli, Xiaodang and Huaihua over to start tutoring them. Yan Jiekuang had actually been admitted to university and ranked first, so tutoring was a piece of cake for him.

Ji Lian knew what Yan Jiekuang had done in Hong Kong Island, and asked Yan Jiekuang privately, "Do these people you helped have any plans?" Yan Jiekuang smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "You will know in the future. After graduating from college, these people will be elites."

This matter was done very secretly, but someone was careful. Xiaodang and Huaihua came back very late every day, which made Jia Zhang suspicious. After observing for a while, she told Jia Dongxu about it. Jia Dongxu didn't take it seriously at first, but after the two sisters were in this state for a while, Jia Dongxu also felt that something was wrong with his two daughters.

Finally one day, Jia Dongxu and his wife and Jia Zhang blocked the two sisters in the house and held a three-way trial, asking them what they had been doing recently. The two sisters looked at each other, and it was Xiaodang who spoke up: "We thought we couldn't be waitresses for the rest of our lives, so we signed up for a finance class. The classes are held at night, so we come home late every day."

Huaihua also agreed, "Yes, I am preparing for a rainy day. I will learn finance first. It is a lesson that will be useful in the future."

Jia Dongxu was half-believing and half-doubting, while Jia Zhangshi said, "You are kidding me. Besides you two, Yan Jiedi also came back with you. Did she go there too?"

Huaihua rolled her eyes and said, "Grandma, you are very observant. It is true that the three of us are in the same class. It is right at the front door."

Jia Dongxu believed it a little, and Jia Zhangshi also became suspicious. On the contrary, Qin Huairu was as calm as ever and said, "I don't care what you go to school or what you study. The city is very chaotic now, and there are all kinds of people. You must be back before 8 o'clock in the evening."

The two girls were a little confused. What should they do? If they didn't agree, Qin Huairu would definitely not let them go. If they agreed, how could they tell their uncle?

The two young ladies were silent. Jia Dongxu became suspicious again and asked, "Did you get to know some dubious people, or did you get to know the children from the compound? I tell you to stay away from them, they are all a bunch of idle people."

Just as the two young ladies were about to speak, Jia Zhang said, "Those in the compound can get to know each other, but forget about the others."

Jia Dongxu jumped up and said, "Mom, what do you know? The people who cause the most trouble in fights are from the compound. You can't be confused."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately shut up. Qin Huairu asked the two girls, "Did you really go to study?"

The two young ladies said in unison: "Really."

Jia Dongxu looked at the two sincere girls, gave up his idea, and said, "Then do as your mother said, you must go home before 8 o'clock in the evening."

The two girls had no choice but to consult Yan Jiekuang. After listening to them, Yan Jiekuang was very satisfied with the two girls, as neither of them betrayed themselves. He then said, "It's okay. Huaihua has nothing to do now, so she can come early. I will explain it to her first and take notes. Huaihua will teach Xiaodang when she returns. If Xiaodang has any questions, she can ask me the next day. Isn't that the problem?"

The two girls' eyes lit up. It had to be Uncle San, whose brain was really quick. In the end, the three of them made a happy decision.

Yan Jiekuang is now mainly teaching them English. The learning process is difficult, but in the end it still depends on their own efforts.

So from the end of April, several people began to prepare for the college entrance examination. They all worked very hard. They knew very well that if they were admitted to university, they could get rid of their current life and soar into the sky, so they worked very hard. Yan Jiekuang also worked as a tutor seriously and responsibly for his own future plans.
