CHAPTER XIX

Wen Jianning and Jianwan passed the entrance exam with the passing line, while Jianxiu's English score failed, so I was afraid that I couldn't go to school with them, but the youngest Jianyu did the best.

Jianwan glanced at Wen Jianning and Jianyu, and muttered, "It shouldn't be." ”

On weekdays, when she goes to class, she is a head taller than her younger sisters. Both Mr. Qi and Feng Ling said that she was the smartest one, but it was a pity that she didn't work hard enough. She only listened to the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence didn't pay attention to it at all, and now she saw that Wen Jianning had similar grades to her, and Jianyu overshadowed her limelight, so she felt a little annoyed.

Mei Shan reminded on the side: "Your fifth-grade questions are naturally more difficult than theirs. ”

Wen Jianwan suddenly realized.

Mei Shan is actually right, Wen Jianwan is ten years old this year, and she took the fifth-grade questions; Jianxiu is two years younger than her, and she took the third-grade questions; as for Wen Jianning, because she took care of her poor foundation, she took the first-grade questions. The youngest Jianyu is actually not yet of school age, so she was asked to do the same questions as Jianning, but she just took a test paper and asked her to do it, but she didn't expect to do so well in the exam.

Wen Jianning saw that the circles under Jianxiu on the side were already red at some point, pinching the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowering his head and pursing his lips, as if he would cry in the next moment.

She was a little worried, and wanted to drag her to a place where no one was paying attention to comfort her, but she was called upstairs by the adults to change her clothes, so she could only put this matter aside for a while.

As soon as they left, Wen Jingshu and Mei Shan in the living room downstairs talked about what had just happened.

As soon as the test results came out, the qualifications of several children were immediately revealed. The smartest of the four should be Jianyu, followed by Jianwan, and finally Wen Jianning and Wen Jianxiu, which is not much different from their private observations. Of course, in order to make Jianwan happy, they also had to say that Jianwan should be the first among the four in this exam.

Wen Jingshu commented: "In my opinion, among the three, Jianwan has the best qualifications, and the embroidery is too soft, although Jianyu is small, he has a lot of ghost thoughts, and there is my second sister-in-law, I am afraid that it will not be easy to fiddle." Only this three girls have the most interesting temperament, but it's a pity that it's not a boy. ”

Mei Shan smiled: "If it's a boy, it's probably similar to Bai Qing." ”

Speaking of this nephew, Wen Jingshu couldn't help but shake her head: "Bai Qing's age is still too old, and he is very thoughtful, I am afraid that no matter how good he is, he will not be with us in the future." If the three girls are so big, maybe they can really count on it. ”

Mei Shan disagreed: "Bai Qing is a member of your Wen family after all, and he is connected to you by blood, so it is better than raising an outsider to support you in the future." Judging by his temperament, he is not the kind of white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to repay his kindness. What's more, the days will be long in the future, don't you still have these four little ones in our hands, slowly adjust, and it will always work. ”

The two laughed and talked about the social scene again.

After a while, the girls came down in their new clothes, all of them with a happy look on their faces, and even Wen Jianning, who had always been taciturn, had an unprecedented smile on her face.

Wen Jianning thinks that the new clothes are good-looking, and the most rare thing is that the style is generous and restrained, and the activity is light.

She has been helping adults work in the Ming family since she was a child, like the Wen Mansion's inverted skirt with large sleeves, although the inlaid is delicate and complicated, it is inconvenient to walk or work. Now that I've changed this body, I finally have a sense of pleasure getting out of the condom.

Wen Jianning didn't notice that Wen Jianwan on the side was secretly looking at her.

Just now, Wen Jianwan suddenly discovered that Wen Jianning, a country girl, became a little dazzling at some point.

I don't know from which day, Wen Jianning has quietly faded away from the previous stubbornness and rudeness.

In the first few days, the young maids always watched them eat and laugh, and still said jokes such as "three pieces of tamales and a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs". The allusion here happened to be talked about when they heard Mr. Qi chatting.

This was originally made fun of girls, saying that the girls in Shanghai were fair-skinned and soft-skinned, and they were steamed pork, while the girls in Hunan and Guangdong were dark-skinned and thin, so they were called sweet and sour pork ribs.

Although Wen Jianwan and the others are not from Shanghai, they are also from Shanghai, and this joke of "tamale" is also interesting. But Wen Jianning and Jianwan came together, and they were not from Hunan and Guangdong, so they got this evaluation of sweet and sour pork ribs, all because her skin color was darker than that of Jianwan.

But now it's different.

Wen Jianning's aunt Ming Li said that her mother Mingzhen is a famous beauty in ten miles and eight villages; on the Wen family's side, seeing that Wen Jingshu and the two uncles, as well as the ones below and Wen Jianning's generation, are not bad, I think her father, Wen Jiyan, should not be ugly.

Since Wen Jianning returned to Wen's house and even arrived in Hong Kong, she has not been out a few times for such a long time, and she even had a serious illness in the middle and was bedridden for a period of time. Without the exposure to the sun, her complexion gradually regained her fair complexion, and the facial features that were originally inherited from her parents slowly became prominent.

Although because her facial features have not yet grown, she is still childish, not as good as Jianwan, but she is also a little girl with clear eyebrows.

At least, Wen Jianning and Jianwan are standing together again, and no one will treat her as a little maid.

Seeing that the girls had changed into new clothes, Wen Jingshu nodded with satisfaction.

Although several girls are still young, but in the end they are their own children, and they can be seen from their eyebrows and eyes that they are all pieces of jade to be made.

Mei Shan glanced at it and asked, "Why don't you see that the embroidery hasn't come down yet?"

A maid whispered beside her: "The second lady is crying upstairs, and she can't be persuaded by anything." ”

As the only one of the sisters who failed the test, Jianxiu's eyes were red from the moment she knew the results. I used to be able to endure it in front of everyone in the living room, but as soon as I went upstairs and returned to my room, I couldn't hold it back anymore, and I fell on the bed and whimpered.

The two adults couldn't stop her tears after persuading her, so they had to let Jianxiu take the same question as Wen Jianning, and this time Jianxiu barely wiped the thread. Although she couldn't go to the third grade, she could go to school with Wen Jianning.

Although it is a little embarrassing to be in the same grade as my sister, it is better than my sisters going to school, and I can only stay at home to make up for the class.

The next week, Wen Jianning finally went to school.

The Wen sisters studied at the primary school attached to the monastery closest to their home, and they were transported to and from school by the family's car every day.

Wen Jianning originally thought that he would be relieved after passing the entrance exam.

But when she went to school, she found that the number of courses was not decreasing, but increasing. In addition to the arithmetic, geometry, art, music, handicrafts and other courses added to the school, there are also horseback riding and swimming arranged by Wen Jingshu for them, so they are even busier than before.

There are special teachers in the school who teach Bahasa Malaysia and English, so the time for classes at home is also greatly reduced. Fortunately, Feng Ling had already found a job with a higher salary, and as for Mr. Qi, she had already expected this situation before, and had already gone to a wealthy businessman's house to become a tutor.

But for some reason, Wen Jianning was still faintly worried.

She didn't expect this concern to come true soon.

On Saturday, Mr. Qi closed his books after class and said to them, "Mr. Qi has something I want to tell you today." ”

Jianwan was the first to raise his hand and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

Mr. Qi looked at them and said gently, "Now that you have started to go to school, it is time for me to leave." A friend of mine helped me find a job at a newspaper in Shanghai, and I was going to leave Hong Kong to work there in the near future. In the future, you will have to pay more attention to your homework. ”

The four little girls were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they all became anxious, and chattered around Mr. Qi: "Why are you leaving, did your aunt drive you away?"

"Sir, don't go, let's go and intercede with my aunt. Why don't you go to Shanghai?"

"Sir, what are we going to do when you're gone?"

In addition to Wen Jianning, Mr. Qi and Jianwan were just ordinary teacher-student relationships at first, but after arriving in Hong Kong, there were suddenly no familiar relatives around them, and the situation slowly changed.

Although Wen Jingshu and Mei Shan never beat and scolded them, out of the sensitive nature of children, they were reluctant to get close to their own aunt, but their relationship with Mr. Qi as an outsider became deeper and deeper. Even Jianwan, who was dissatisfied because she was beaten by Mr. Qi at first, now has a little attachment to her, and when she heard Mr. Qi say that she was leaving, she was immediately anxious.

Mr. Qi said softly: "Actually, my friends persuaded me to stay in Shanghai for a few days, but at that time, I was already entrusted by your family, and secondly, I couldn't worry that your children would come to Hong Kong like this, so I still followed." Now that you've gotten used to life here, I think it's time for me to leave. ”

Wen saw that Wandu stepped forward to hug her arm and shook it, and said softly: "But sir, I can't bear you." ”

Mr. Qi touched their little heads: "Where in the world is there a feast that will not be dispersed, and when we get to Shanghai, we can communicate." Maybe you will have to go to Shanghai again in the future, and we will meet again sooner or later. ”

The word "communication" seemed to touch Wen Jianning's fragile nerves, she only felt a sudden throbbing pain in her chest, and shouted at Mr. Qi without thinking: "Liars, they are all big liars!"

With that, she staggered out of the room.

For some reason, Jianwan frowned and said, "What's crazy about her?"

Mr. Qi calmed them first, and then sighed and said, "It's okay, wait until I go and talk to her, she will understand." ”

Led by the maid, Mr. Qi went upstairs to the outside of Wen Jianning's room and knocked lightly on the door twice.

Through the door panel, Mr. Qi said, "See Ning, I know you're inside." Can you open the door, Sir has a few words to say to you. ”

The voice came into the room, and Wen Jianning, who was lying in front of the desk, heard it clearly.

But she didn't respond, and she didn't want to.

Mr. Qi knocked on the door a few more times, but the people inside still did not respond, so he had to turn around and leave.

After the footsteps outside the door were far away, Wen Jianning felt a little regretful.

She cautiously opened the door and saw that the hallway was empty.

Mr. Qi left.

She said to leave, Wen Jingshu settled her salary that day, and she didn't come to the villa again for two days.

It was only at this time that a strong sense of remorse surged into Wen Jianning's heart.

She regretted that she had lost her temper with Mr. Qi inexplicably, and she was even more afraid that Mr. Qi would leave Hong Kong in the next few days, so that she would not even have a chance to say goodbye to Mr. Qi.

As soon as she thought of this, she was so so sad that she couldn't even eat.

Mei Shan seemed to have expected this.

That evening, she knocked on the door of Wen Jianning's room and gave her an address with the place where Mr. Qi lived.

Looking at Wen Jianning, who jumped off the chair in surprise, Mei Shan asked with a smile: "Look, am I good to you?" There are so many people in this family, and who cares more about your affairs than I do. ”

Wen Jianning lowered his head and pursed the corners of his lips, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Okay." ”

Although she is still wary of Mei Shan, she can't help but accept this affection.

Mei Shan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, while your husband hasn't left Hong Kong yet, let's go and see her." ”
