Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Li Jianxin and An Rou's fun never stops.

The couple lived separately from their parents-in-law. They were also very strange. They had divided all the housework. One was responsible for cooking, the other for picking vegetables and making fire. One was responsible for washing clothes, and the other was responsible for sweeping the floor.

The couple often quarreled over who should do the housework. At first, the villagers would go to watch and try to stop the quarrel, but later, when it happened so often, even the neighbors were too lazy to intervene.

Xu Chunying thought the couple was also weird. "They are so lazy. What are they going to do if they have children? One is responsible for giving birth and the other is responsible for raising them?"

You know what, this couple is really capable of doing such a thing.

After the snow melted, school officially resumed classes. As the weather was getting cold, the children's hands were frozen into sores, so the school organized a final exam.

When Li Youcai learned that he had to take an exam, he was determined to get a good score. He read until after 10 pm and then went to bed. After the exam, he started to have fun.

Jidong and Baolin were envious of him playing. Zhang Xiuhua didn't want to keep the children under control all the time, so she called Youcai over and asked him to play with his younger siblings.

Ever since he caught a cold last time, Youcai has become much more obedient and acts like a brother. He does whatever she asks him to do.

Except for Zhuzhu who just learned to walk, the other children followed Youcai.

The weather was cold, and Zhang Xiuhua was from the south and couldn't stand the cold, so she stayed in the house and sang to Zhuzhu and played with her.

Children over one year old are the cutest. They have just learned to walk and know nothing. When you teach them to sing, they imitate you like a parrot. Their baby voice makes them look so happy.

Two days passed like this and the school issued the report cards.

Youcai, who used to be so happy, now hangs his head when he wakes up in the morning. Even his favorite egg pancake doesn’t smell good to him. He looks listless and it’s obvious that he didn’t do well in the exam.

Jidong and Baolin urged him to hurry up, "You'll be late soon."

Youcai followed the two reluctantly. It was not walking anymore, it was moving. Jidong was so anxious that he dragged him away, "Hurry up! Whether you did well in the exam or not, you have to go. If I had known, I would have been born earlier. Don't waste time."

Only then did Youcai quicken his pace.

Zhang Xiuhua took out the scorebooks of several children. Because the records had just been kept for a short time, no one had reached the standard yet.

Since they went to school to get their transcripts and didn't have to attend classes, they returned in less than two hours.

Zhang Xiuhua took Zhuzhu and Yaoyao to bask in the sun at the doorstep. She could hear Baolin's chirping voice from a distance, which seemed to be filled with excitement.

When the little figure appeared at the door, he saw her and rushed over like a little cannonball, "Mom! I got third place in the exam!"

Baolin's face turned red with excitement, and his breath was full of hot air.

Zhang Xiuhua put Zhuzhu down, and Baolin took out the test paper. "Mom, look, I got 99 in Chinese and 95 in math. Am I awesome?"

Zhang Xiuhua read the test paper carefully and gave her a thumbs up, "Great!"

Just then Jidong also came in. He was a little shy, but his eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he was waiting to be praised.

Before Zhang Xiuhua could ask, Baolin, the quick-talking kid, had already announced the good news for his brother, "Mom, Jidong also ranked third. He scored 100 in math and 93 in Chinese. His total score was not as good as mine, but he ranked the same."

Jidong looked at his sister helplessly. Why did she speak so quickly? He wanted to say it himself.

Zhang Xiuhua took his paper and read it over. Hmm, the result was fine. She also gave her affirmation, "It's really great! Not bad!"

She looked back and said, "Where's Youcai? Didn't he come back with you guys?"

Jidong carefully put away the papers, and then answered her question, "I'm back. Maybe I'm too embarrassed to see you?"

Zhang Xiuhua was surprised, "How many points did he get?"

Baolin immediately raised his hand and answered impatiently, "Mom, I know, Youcai scored 76 and 80 respectively. They didn't rank high."

Generally, teachers will only announce the rankings within the top ten, and will not announce the rankings beyond the top ten.

Apparently, Youcai didn't do well in the exam this time, and he was sad, so he didn't come back.

Baolin tugged at Zhang Xiuhua's sleeve, "Mom, can I go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner?"

Zhang Xiuhua added her score to the scorebook, "You are only two points away from 100."

Baolin was so happy that she jumped up and down. Although she had finished the test, she still had to go to class, and the homework assigned by the two educated youth teachers could also add extra points. She would soon be able to get a full score.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled at Jidong, "Your total score is now 148 points."

Jidong had to study both first and second grade courses, so he did more homework and naturally got more extra points. Baolin got more extra points because he kept his room clean.

Baolin came over again, "Mom, besides eating at state-owned restaurants, are there other uses for the points?"

Zhang Xiuhua did not answer but asked, "What do you want it to be used for?"

"I want to exchange money." Baolin raised his hand. "Guoxiang from the captain's family is in the same class as Brother Youcai. He said that he ranked first in the exam, so his father rewarded him with five dollars."

Five yuan is a huge amount of money for a child, and of course it is also a considerable amount of money for the parents. It is equivalent to 500 yuan in 30 years.

Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to eat at the state-owned restaurant, I'll exchange one hundred points for two yuan."

Baolin tilted his head and thought for a long time, not knowing which one was more cost-effective, so he looked at Jidong.

Jidong said firmly, "I want to go to the state-owned restaurant to eat." He looked at Baolin, "We can't buy anything with money. The things in the supply and marketing cooperative require tickets, and we don't have tickets. We might as well eat."

Baolin thought about it and said, "Then let's eat."

After the two of them had discussed it, Youcai slowly came in. Zhang Xiuhua observed his expression, and he didn't seem to be affected at all. He looked frank and asked casually, "Aunt Zhang, have you cooked?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "We're just waiting for you to come back and do it. Go and do it now."

Baolin happily came up to Youcai and said, "Our points have reached 100. We can go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."

This child has never been a simple-minded person. He laughs when he is happy and cries when he is unhappy. He also shows off in a blatant way.

Sure enough, when Youcai saw her boasting, he snorted, pretended not to hear, and went into the kitchen.

Zhang Xiuhua called Youcai and asked, "How many points did you get?"

Youcai is not a fool, "Didn't they tell you?"

"I want to see it myself." Zhang Xiuhua smiled, "I have to write a letter to tell your dad about this."

Youcai was a little embarrassed, "Can you not tell him?"

He opened his schoolbag and handed over the test paper.

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "No. Your father has always been concerned about your studies. I have to let him know." She smiled at him, "But considering that your previous grades were so poor and you have made great progress this time, I decided to give you an extra ten points to encourage you to continue studying."

Youcai opened his mouth wide, "Ah? Give me extra points? Is that true?"

After saying that, he grinned and said, "So how many points do I have now?"

Baba came closer, like a little squirrel.

Zhang Xiuhua flipped through the notebook and said, "After you add it up, you get 85 points."

Half of the points for being talented are for doing homework, and the other part is for cleaning. As for cooking? No extra points for this. Because all children have to do things, otherwise they won't have anything to eat. How can you get extra points for feeding yourself?

Youcai sighed, "85 is fine. It's still 85 points short. I can afford to wait."

He consoled himself and happily returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Of course, he did not forget to call Jidong and Baolin over to help light the fire and pick vegetables.

When the food was served and the family was enjoying their meal, they heard the sound of a child being beaten outside.

Baolin, a little firecracker who loved to watch the fun, could no longer sit still and ran out with his bowl of rice.

Youcai pricked up his ears and listened, "Oh, it seems to be Guoxiang! No, I have to go and check it out!"
