"As long as she can understand, it’s good. I was just worried that Li Bao would fall behind in class since she started school a week later than other students. Now that she can understand, there’s no need for to ask Little Wu."
Cai Xiufen’s voice was filled with amusent. As she spoke, she asked Luo Yanqing, "How’s your situation at school?"
"It’s going well."
Luo Yanqing replied, stood up, rinsed the peeled potatoes with water for a mont, and then began slicing them. Once he had prepared all the ingredients he needed, he heard Cai Xiufen say, "In less than five minutes, the stead buns will be ready, and I’ll go check if the porridge is done."
The porridge was simring on the heater in the living room, while the stove in the kitchen had ribs stewing on it.
Hearing Cai Xiufen’s words, Luo Yanqing nodded and said, "I’ll watch and add firewood to the stove."
"No need, I just added so."
As she said this, Cai Xiufen walked out of the kitchen.
Living room.
Not seeing anyone, Cai Xiufen realized that Min Rui and the others were in their rooms doing howork, so she didn’t disturb them. She lifted the pot lid and saw that the porridge was ready, then casually closed the stove door.
"What are you up to?"
Walking into Kang Li’s study, Cai Xiufen saw her beloved daughter sitting upright at the desk and couldn’t help but ask.
"Reading."
Kang Li turned to look at her mother, "I want to graduate early."
"Why?"
Cai Xiufen looked puzzled.
"I feel like the courses in college are just like that. If I have to study step-by-step with other students, it’s not only a waste of ti but also very boring. Besides, graduating early doesn’t an I won’t continue learning. I can still go to graduate school and even pursue a combined master’s and doctoral program. In short, I won’t stop learning, so you don’t have to worry that I’ll beco idle!"
The last sentence was purely Kang Li trying to make her mom happy with a bit of humor.
"Even though I don’t fully understand what you’re saying, as long as you continue studying, I have nothing more to say. But can you do it on your own?"
Seeing the worry in Cai Xiufen’s eyes, Kang Li smiled, "We have Professor Luo at ho. Even if there’s sothing I don’t understand, Professor Luo will definitely teach . Moreover, I can always ask my teachers at school. Mom, you don’t have to worry about my studies. I promise I will smoothly obtain my graduation certificate!"
"Since you’re so confident, I believe in you." The worry in Cai Xiufen’s eyes faded away. "Alright, continue reading. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll call you when it’s ti to eat."
Kang Li nodded and watched her mother disappear out of the study room door.
...
Ti passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was late spring in April. During this ti, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing made it a point to drop off and pick up Min Rui and the other two from school during weekdays.
Of course, they only handled dropping them off in the morning and picking them up after school in the afternoon. After all, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing had tight schedules at noon and couldn’t rush back to take Min Rui and the others ho for lunch, then back to school.
However, with their mom’s help, Kang Li and Luo Yanqing didn’t have much to worry about.
It was a Saturday, and with no classes in the afternoon, Kang Li had already decided to head back to the courtyard with Luo Yanqing right after the morning classes.
Unexpectedly, just as the bell for the last class rang, Wang Pan appeared with a pitiful look, "Kang Li..." Without hearing any further, Kang Li packed her books into her arms and stood up, slightly raising her nicely-shaped eyebrows, "What’s up?"
"Can we talk outside?"
Before Kang Li could respond, Wang Pan pulled her to a quiet spot outside the classroom.
"You’re acting like a bullied little wife."
