Chapter 348 Returning Early, Plans Changed

Chapter 348 Returning Early, Plans Changed

Miao Yamin gave birth to a big, healthy baby girl, and both the Zhou and Yao families were overjoyed.

Grandma Zhou tried every means to find people to bring all sorts of things from the countryside: old hens, fish from wild ponds, and eggs from her own free-range chickens...

Grandma Zhou would find someone to bring anything that was good for the new mother into her home.

Zhou Ping'an went to great lengths to ask people to bring him things from the provincial capital.

Yao Shula also asked Lei Jingwu to get some supplements from Shanghai that were unavailable in Yun County for Miao Yamin.

Aunt Yao has been living next door for almost a month, taking good care of Miao Yamin during her postpartum period.

After her postpartum confinement period, Miao Yamin had gained a little weight, but Yao Shula could clearly sense that Miao Yamin's demeanor was different.

Every time Yao Shula saw Miao Yamin holding her daughter and comforting her, she could always feel a kind of light emanating from Miao Yamin.

Is this what they call the radiance of motherhood...?

...

Days passed by, and summer vacation arrived quickly.

Yao Shuxin didn't come back this summer. Gu Xiaoman found her a tutoring job as the granddaughter of a family that was on good terms with the Gu family.

The child's parents both work abroad and can't take care of her. The elderly couple can take good care of their granddaughter in daily life, but not in her studies...

Gu Xiaoman then introduced Yao Shuxin to him.

"That place isn't far from your school, it's just across the street. You can arrange your time there, four hours a day."

That family is well-off and doesn't lack money.

I'm looking for a female college student I know well to be my tutor. I've charged you 20 yuan an hour, so you can tutor and study at the same time without missing anything.

Don't think this was specially arranged for you. They have many requirements. Because it's a granddaughter, she has to be a girl.

They also required that you had excellent grades in the college entrance examination, and that you must be among the top students. I thought you were the most suitable candidate.

Their family consists of the grandparents. The grandfather was rehired by the design institute, so the grandmother is the one who does most of the housework.

Oh, and there's an auntie who helps with the cooking.

"When you go, just focus on tutoring that child. He's a bit quiet, so you'll need to put in extra effort; the important thing is to improve his grades."

Gu Xiaoman even gave a special explanation.

Upon hearing that it would cost twenty yuan per hour, Yao Shuxin immediately agreed.

That works out to eighty yuan a day, which is more than the wages of many people in Yun County!

So, Yao Shuxin called Yao Shula and said she was going to be a tutor and wouldn't be coming back.

Yao Shula immediately asked for details. When she heard that Gu Xiaoman had introduced her and that she was teaching a girl who had just entered high school, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Perfect, absolutely perfect! This is practically tailor-made for Yao Shuxin!

...

After summer vacation, Yao Shuli will be in her third year of junior high school.

Although everyone knew that Yao Shuli wouldn't pass the high school entrance exam and would most likely go to school in Shanghai, Yao Shuli still studied diligently.

He now fully understands that learning is not for others, but for himself.

If you study hard, you'll have a wider path to take in life.

I just need to work hard for another year...

To the surprise of Yao Shula's family, things took another turn.

As per previous arrangements, every year during the summer vacation, Xiao Tiantian would return to Shanghai in August to celebrate Grandpa Lei's birthday and stay in Shanghai for a few more days to keep Grandpa Lei company.

But this time, Lei Jingwu arrived at the very beginning of summer vacation.

"Shura, I need to tell you something first. There has been a change in the arrangements." Lei Jingwu said with a serious expression as soon as he entered the room.

Yao Shula was startled.

Has something changed?

What's changed? Could it be that something has changed regarding Yao Shuli's schooling?

Is it that I can't attend that finance school in Shanghai? Or is there a problem with my household registration that I transferred there?

Yao Shula's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.

Even if things change, it doesn't matter; the worst outcome is that things will return to how they were before.

Yao Shuli didn't go to a finance and economics school. Instead, she focused on getting into a good high school, then a regular university. If all else failed, she could just apply to a finance and economics university...

It's just that... Yao Shuli will probably be a bit of a blow, and I'll have to comfort her properly.

"What changes? It's okay, just tell me! I can handle it!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yao Shula with some nervousness.

"Um... you guys probably need to go to Shanghai in advance to make preparations!"

When Grandpa found out about this, he said that since Shuli wanted to come to Shanghai to study, he should prepare well.

Grandpa's idea was to let Shuli transfer to a school in Shanghai in the third year of junior high, and transfer her school registration and other things as well.

When it comes time for the high school entrance exam, I'll just apply to that finance school.

Similarly, Tian Tian's fifth grade will also be held in Shanghai, so the two brothers can look after each other.

Although Grandpa said that when Shuli went to school in Shanghai, he would stay at our house and eat and live with Tiantian, just like he does now.

But I was worried that Shuli might not be used to life in Shanghai and that it would affect her studies.

Grandpa's idea is...you should come to Shanghai with me to take care of Shuli for a year, and then we'll think about what to do next after Shuli finishes her high school entrance exam.

After Lei Jingwu finished speaking, he looked at Yao Shula with a nervous expression.

Yao Shula was stunned for a moment.

It turns out it wasn't that I couldn't go to school in Shanghai, but that I had to go there earlier to take the Shanghai high school entrance exam and directly apply to a finance-focused school...

It's not impossible!

It was all so sudden, and there are so many things to deal with!

"About transferring school registration..." Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu.

“I’ll take care of it! You just need to arrange everything in Yun County. I’ll start processing the school registration for these two boys tomorrow.”

"And you... you need to figure out how to arrange this huge undertaking." Lei Jingwu immediately agreed.

Yao Shula nodded, thinking about how to arrange her belongings.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were initially nervous, but they immediately cheered up after hearing that it was just a matter of going to Shanghai a year earlier.

Oh, it's just that the plan was moved up...

This is a good thing!

The two held hands and went back to their room to pack their things.

Seeing that the two had gone back into the house, Yao Shula gently tugged at Lei Jingwu's sleeve.

“Let’s go! Let’s talk in the yard! There must be something else going on here!” Yao Shula said.

Lei Jingwu glanced at Yao Shula's hand tugging at his clothes and quickly nodded.

"Yes, you're right, there's something going on here."

"Come on! Let's sit down in the yard and talk it over!"

As he spoke, Lei Jingwu sat down in the courtyard with Yao Shula.

Lei Jingwu sat down in the rattan chair in the yard, and Yao Shula sat down in another slightly worn rocking chair in the yard.

After handing Lei Jingwu a banana leaf fan, Yao Shula asked a question.

"Tell me! How could it have been a year earlier than planned!"

Lei Jingwu sighed.

"My third uncle wants to bring Tiantian to live with him so he can go to school, saying that he and Tiantian have become quite estranged in the past two years!"
