A foreign city, dear you

But Ye Lian just didn't smile. She held her nerve tightly and watched Cao Xueqian's performance with cold eyes.

Cao Xueqian is a bit out of his depth.

What else can be done?

Cao Xueqian coughed twice and thought of a plan: "Come, let's drink to our warriors!"

After Cao Xueqian finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks, freed up his right hand, lowered his head, but his hand that was about to take the cup stopped in mid-air, and said awkwardly: "Oh, there is no cup."

"Puch", Ye Lian laughed out loud.

Ye Lian finally stopped stretching, it was so hard.

Cao Xueqian also laughed: My wife was finally amused.

"Mom, did you use the clothes pole to fight with anyone today?" Lanshan asked.

Ye Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she simply told Lan Shan the truth about the matter, and then secretly glared at Cao Xueqian, blaming him for misleading Lan Shan.

After dinner, Lanshan continued to do his homework, while Cao Xueqian rushed to wash the dishes. Cao Xueqian saw that Ye Lian was still ignoring him, so he said a lot of coaxing words to Ye Lian, and then Ye Lian resumed normal dialogue with him regardless of past suspicions.

The couple chatted casually about daily life, and finally came to the topic of the security window opposite. Cao Xueqian warned me again: "Promise me, if I'm not with you in the future, you still don't have conflicts with others, otherwise I won't worry."

"I understand." Ye Lian became obedient again: "But isn't it sometimes too late? Besides, I'm also afraid of affecting your work."

"Even if it's too late, you have to let me know." Cao Xueqian solemnly emphasized: "Afraid of affecting my work? No matter how important the job is, it is not as important as the safety of my wife. If you lose your job, you can find another one, but you only have one wife."

Ye Lian smiled: "Wouldn't it be better if I lost my wife? You can also find another one."

Cao Xueqian rolled his eyes at Ye Lian with dissatisfaction: "You are talking nonsense again. There are so many women in the world, do I just think that if they are gone, I will find another one? If they are gone, I will find another one? Am I such a scumbag?"

No, Mr. Cao is angry.

This time it's back to Ye Lian to coax Cao Xueqian.

"Okay." Ye Lian leaned softly on Cao Xueqian and coaxed: "I promise you, can't I not conflict with others in the future?"

His wife came to coax him, but Cao Xueqian didn't dare not give him face. He hugged Ye Lian into his arms and said in a low and gentle voice: "There are many women in the world, but you are the only one who is so good and willing to accompany me to grow old together. I won’t lose you so stupidly.”

Is this considered a love story?

Ye Lian only felt comfortable in her heart.

But after a while, Ye Lian frowned slightly again.

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"You think, did I go too far today? If I asked them to redo the anti-theft window, wouldn't they suffer a lot?" Ye Lian asked a little uneasily.

When Cao Xueqian heard this, he smiled: "Has your conscience discovered it?"

"It's not that serious." Ye Lian whispered, "But I don't want them to suffer losses."

Cao Xueqian shook his head: "No. The main body of the anti-theft window will not be invalidated. Just remove the top and bottom of the anti-theft window according to the size that floats out."

When Ye Lian heard this, she felt a lot more at ease: "Oh, that's good."

"Are their houses for rent or for self-occupation?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"Rent." Ye Lian was depressed again.

"That's a little better." Cao Xueqian said.

"It's better?" Ye Lian wondered: "How is it better? Rental tenants come and go, it's much more complicated."

Cao Xueqian smiled: "You made such a fuss with the owners across the street today. If they live on their own, they would look down and not look up. It would be very embarrassing every time we meet."

"Then I would rather they live on their own." Ye Lian said simply.

"Forget it," Cao Xueqian said, "Let's not fight about this. It's meaningless anyway."

"Yeah," Ye Lian sighed and agreed, "There's nothing we can do. They should be renovating it after a while, and we still have to endure the noise."

Cao Xueqian had already finished washing the dishes, and couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Ye Lian sighing.

He gently pressed Ye Lian's shoulder and comforted: "For some things we can't change, let's not think so much. Nothing is more important than our good mood. Think more about beautiful things, such as you having a A good husband, a good son; another example is the blue sky, white clouds, sunshine..."

Cao Xueqian suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, Ye Lian quietly took over Cao Xueqian's words: "Blue sky, white clouds, sunshine? Do I still want it? Can our family still see blue sky, white clouds and sunshine?"

Alas, I really have a weak mouth. I won't open any pot and lift it.

Cao Xueqian scolded himself in his heart, and then quickly changed the subject: "Then think more about your husband. Your husband will always be by your side and no one can take him away."

When Ye Lian heard this, she glared at Cao Xueqian: "How could I tell that there was a crisis hidden in these words?"

"What crisis?" Cao Xueqian was a little confused.

"You said no one can rob it, does that mean someone is robbing you?" Ye Lian asked slyly.

Yes, I accidentally said the wrong thing again. This wife is difficult to take care of.

Cao Xueqian reluctantly tapped Ye Lian's forehead: "You idiot, can you please stop being so sensitive? Who doesn't know that I'm already married and have a beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and capable wife?"

************************

It was an afternoon in June.

In the past few days, Ye Lian has been thinking about one thing and waiting for the outcome of this matter.

Ye Lian is mopping the floor. Thanks to Tianqin Pavilion, even though it was daytime, the lights were on at home.

The phone rang suddenly, and Ye Lian quickly put down the mop and picked up the phone.

An unknown phone call.

Could it be the call I was waiting for?

Ye Lian pressed the connect button with hope.

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you Cao Lanshan's parent?"

"Yes!" Ye Lian replied, thinking about where the phone number was.

"This is the Academic Affairs Office of Xiangyang Primary School..." The voice on the phone was unhurried, official and clear.

Xiangyang Primary School? Finally called me.

Ye Lian's heart became tense. Is this the result I expected?

"The results of the transfer exam are out. Unfortunately, Cao Lanshan failed to pass the exam..."

The talking on the phone continued in her ears, but Ye Lian no longer knew what the following words meant.

Unfortunately? did not pass? impossible!

"Can you tell me how many points Cao Lanshan got?" Ye Lian asked. Nothing else mattered anymore. Lanshan's score was what she cared about most and found most strange.

"95 points in Chinese, 73 points in mathematics, 97 points in English, and a total score of 265 points." The voice on the other end of the phone was very clear.

Ye Lian's heart sank and she hung up the phone in a daze.

The problem is math.

Only seventy-three points in mathematics? How can it be?
