It is necessary to budget carefully. Lin Zhaosheng's job is very mediocre, and what follows is a low income.
Lao Lin's income is comparable to the average income of employees in Anning City, with a monthly salary of just over 2,000.
Two thousand yuan is enough to support a family of three. Although there is no need to pay rent, the standard of living is not very good, just enough for food and clothing.
Now, Li Jie has taken over the grocery shopping and cooking work at home, and Lao Lin will give him thirty yuan every day, which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner for three people.
Ten yuan per capita is not too much, not too little, and a big meal of fish and meat is definitely out of the question, but eating meat every day is not a problem.
On the way back, Xiao Zhaoxi was silent all the time, including when she was at the vegetable market.
Being silent is her habit.
Even though Li Jie had been with her day and night for more than a month, she still didn't have much communication with him.
Whatever happened, she still liked to hide it in her heart.
When the two returned home, Li Jie carried the groceries he had just bought into the kitchen. Xiao Zhaoxi put down his schoolbag and came to the dining table, then took out his textbooks one by one from his schoolbag.
She wants to read a book!
The teachers at the Experimental Middle School taught much faster than the teachers at Hongxing Primary School. Xiao Zhaoxi was obviously not used to it for the first time.
Although she has thought about giving up on herself, she has not yet made up her mind.
You still have to learn what you need to learn.
Not long after, there was a clanging sound in the kitchen, and Xiao Chaoxi turned her head and glanced towards the kitchen.
Then, a smile slowly appeared on her lips. She didn't find the sound annoying, but she really liked hearing it.
She likes the smell of home.
Li Jie cooks very quickly. Before Lin Zhaosheng got off work, he had already prepared the food and served it on the table.
The two of them didn't wait for Lin Zhaosheng to eat together. He got off work too late. Lin Zhaosheng had already greeted him and asked them to eat first and leave a bite for him.
Today's meal is particularly rich, because today is a very special day. It is the first day of school. From today on, Li Jie and Xiao Zhaoxi will officially become junior high school students.
Braised pork, large boiled dried shreds, tiger skin green pepper, tomato and egg soup, three vegetables and one soup. Although the portion of each dish is not large, there are many varieties.
Coupled with Li Jie's cooking skills, this meal is definitely over-priced.
Everyday dinner time is one of the happiest moments in my life.
The rice cooked by ‘Hanamaki’ is really delicious.
After a delicious dinner, Xiao Zhaoxi took the initiative to get up and start clearing away the dishes. Hanamaki was the one doing the cooking and she was the one washing the dishes.
After clearing away the bowls, Xiao Zhaoxi returned to the restaurant and continued to review his homework. Although Li Jie did not need to review, he still joined in.
Children usually have poor self-control. If one person is studying and the other is playing next to him, the attention of the child who is studying will be diverted soon.
Once you get serious, time will pass quickly.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in the room were turned on. Not long after, the roar of a motorcycle came from outside the door.
As soon as Lin Zhaosheng entered the house and saw two children lying on the table studying, he couldn't help but smile.
What parent wouldn't like a child who doesn't forget to study after school, and doesn't need parental supervision?
Seeing the food in the dish cover, Lin Zhaosheng's lips raised a little higher.
This child ‘Hanamaki’ is so satisfying to him!
Not only did he do the grocery shopping and cooking, but the most important thing was that the child cooked delicious food. In addition, although the child was younger than Chao Xi, he occasionally made a fuss.
But at critical moments, this kid is still very reliable.
It couldn't be better for Xixi to have such a 'brother'.
"Uncle Lin."
"dad!"
Seeing that Lin Zhaosheng was back, Li Jie and Xiao Zhaoxi called him respectively.
"Where are you reading?"
Lin Zhaosheng nodded with a smile, walked closer, then touched Xiao Chaoxi's head and said softly.
"It's the first day of class today. How do you feel? Are you getting used to it?"
Xiao Zhaoxi opened her mouth and hesitated for a while.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhaosheng's heart tightened, and just as he was about to ask more questions, the voice of 'Hanamaki' sounded in his ears.
"Uncle Lin, Xixi doesn't get used to it. She said the teacher teaches class too fast, especially the math teacher, who teaches a chapter in one class!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chaoxi immediately gave Li Jie a roll of his eyes and snorted coldly.
‘Hanamaki’ This is obviously a snitch!
After she decided, no, she would ignore him for a week!
However, as soon as this decision was made, she regretted it.
One week is too long, right?
How about three days?
Forget it, just one day!
I just decided to ignore him for the whole day!
Hearing Li Jie's words, Lin Zhaosheng first glanced at Li Jie unexpectedly, and then at Xiao Chaoxi.
"Xixi, is that so?"
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head silently. She did not answer, but with her behavior, it no longer mattered whether she answered or not.
Obviously, what ‘Hanamaki’ said is true.
After getting along for more than a month, Lin Zhaosheng was no longer surprised by the differences in his daughter's behavior.
During the training camp, although Xixi's performance was not as good as Pei Zhi's, she could still be considered a little genius.
As for now, Xixi behaves like an ordinary child.
It was not that Lin Zhaosheng had not thought about the reason. He once wanted to take Xiao Zhaoxi to see a psychiatrist, but at the last moment, he gave up this plan.
What about genius?
A genius like him, isn't he just a school janitor now?
Being more ordinary is not a bad thing.
As long as Xixi can grow up happily, that's enough.
The most important thing now is not why Xixi behaves differently before and after, but to accompany Xixi to grow up happily.
As long as his daughter can be happy and happy, Lin Zhaosheng has nothing else to ask for.
"Xixi."
Lin Zhaosheng leaned forward slightly, got in front of Xiao Chaoxi, and whispered.
"Did your Chinese teacher teach you the Ten Analects of Confucius today?"
"Ten Principles of the Analects of Confucius" is included in the first volume of seventh-grade Chinese. Although it is not the first lesson in the book, Lin Zhaosheng inquired and found that this text is the first lesson in the first grade of the Experimental Middle School.
"Taught."
Xiao Zhaoxi nodded.
"Then do you still remember the contents?"
"Remember!"
Xiao Zhaoxi has a very good memory. She was eager to show off in front of her father and could not wait to recite the text.
"The Master said: Learn and practice it from time to time. Isn't that right?"
At first, Xiao Zhaoxi was a little stumbling, but she gradually got better as she carried her on her back. At the same time, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
Seeing the confidence return to Xiao Chaoxi's face, Lin Zhaosheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
He had long discovered that although Xiao Zhaoxi now was not as good as she was during the training camp, Xiao Zhaoxi's memory was still very strong.
Therefore, Lin Zhaosheng formulated a new study plan, taking advantage of his memory to first improve Xiaochaoxi's liberal arts scores, and then slowly improve his science scores.
