Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute-Chapter 712: Two Pieces in One Day
Studying is such a thing, once you slack off, itโs very difficult to get back into it seriously. ๐ป๐โฏโฏ๐ค๐๐๐๐ฐ๐๐๐.๐ธ๐๐ฎ
Mianmian is becoming more and more outstanding, and at such a good age, there must be plenty of boys in school who like her. He was worried she might fall into early love, which is why he hadnโt slept well and had no interest in listening during class.
"But you should also give the child some time to rest, donโt exhaust her." Xiu Min felt Mianmian was working too hard and felt some heartache for her.
"If sheโs tired, she should go to bed earlier at night." Li Julin guessed that Mianmian must have gone out to play with classmates the night before and went to bed late, which is why she had dark circles under her eyes.
Seeing the two starting to argue over her, Mianmian hurriedly intervened, "Auntie Xiu, Iโm not tired. I stayed up late reading a novel last night and didnโt sleep well. Uncle Li is right, whatโs most important for me now is to study hard. I shouldnโt be too indulgent in play."
She wasnโt lying; last night she had trouble falling asleep, tossing and turning, so she borrowed a novel Xiaocui had bought and read it until midnight.
Learning that she wasnโt exhausted from studying, Xiu Min let go of her worries. Mianmian was just eighteen, at an age where itโs normal to want to have fun, so Xiu Min didnโt think there was anything wrong with Mianmian reading novels.
Seeing Mianmian didnโt make excuses and openly admitted her fault, and it wasnโt because of a romance affecting her studies, Li Julin softened his tone but still admonished, "Reading novels for a bit at night isnโt bad, but you canโt get too engrossed and let it affect your studies."
"Okay, Uncle Li, Iโll definitely prioritize my studies in the future."
Mianmian immediately made the promise.
Seeing her serious dark circles, Li Julin stood up, "Letโs call it a day! Iโm a bit sleepy, Iโll go take a nap."
Mianmian smiled with narrowed eyes. Li Julin wasnโt sleepy, it was clear he saw her dark circles and wanted her to rest earlier.
Knowing Li Julin was prideful and secretly soft-hearted, she didnโt expose him and bid farewell to the couple before heading to the vegetable store.
The weather this year was good, so they started selling vegetables from the fifth day of the new year.
Du Xiaohui was helping Dajun unload items at the store, having arrived on Dajunโs ox cart. Mianmian, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the heels of his shoes were worn through. Looking at Du Xiaohui, who had become much thinner than during his first year of high school, she thought of his familyโs situation and had an idea.
"Mianmian, why did you come back so early today?" Du Xiaohui was surprised to see Mianmian return earlier; usually, she came back around four or five oโclock.
"I didnโt rest well last night. I kept dozing off while studying and couldnโt concentrate, so I came back early." Mianmian entered the store nonchalantly, "Why are you in town today? Have you finished your holiday homework?"
"Itโs mostly done. There are some problems I donโt quite understand, so I came over to ask you." After Lu Siyuan left, Du Xiaohui asked her all the questions he didnโt understand, and Mianmian patiently explained them, greatly improving his academic performance.
"Sure." Mianmian nodded and seeing Du Xiaohui bustling in and out of the store, she casually asked, "Xiaohui, do you have some free time lately? Dajun is the only one responsible for deliveries in the store and he doesnโt have any days off. He runs back and forth between the store and the village; itโs very tiring. Iโm planning to hire someone to help him out so he doesnโt have to work so hard. Would you be able to help? It pays two yuan a day."
Two yuan a day was just a little money for the current Mianmian, barely enough for a decent meal at a restaurant, but she knew that in the village, it was a weekโs worth of expenses for a whole family.
