Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Li Qinghua was stunned for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and shouted, "My brother is better at studying than me, I am happy, what's it to you to control me?"

"Get off!"

Li Qinghua pushed Li Aihua away and sat down at the table.

"Don't disturb me while I'm studying!"

Seeing his inconsistency, Li Aihua shook her head in disgust, then turned to look at Li Muhua, sat on the kang, stared at him and said:

"Little brother, did you really learn mathematics only in the past two days?"

"Ok!"

Li Muhua picked up the picture book, hid his eyes behind the book and nodded.

"You don't know my previous grades yet. If you still don't believe me, I've thoroughly understood all the knowledge in the book. I'll give you a few more questions to test you!"

"What are you talking about? I believe you. Haven't you surprised me enough these days?" Li Aihua patted Li Muhua's head and continued, "This is what I think, little brother, aren't you willing to learn now?"

"You're learning so fast. How about I teach you the sixth grade textbook? The sixth grade textbook is also full of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but the numbers are a little smaller. I'm sure you'll be able to learn it right away. How about you skip a grade and go to junior high school next year?"

"The three of us are still able to take care of you just like we were in elementary school!"

Listening to Li Aihua's suggestion, Li Muhua narrowed his eyes and pondered.

It seems that there is no point in skipping a grade to go to junior high school now. After all, my two brothers may not be able to go to high school by then.

I might as well stay in elementary school. Maybe I can stay at home for a few more days and make some fun of myself.

Thinking of this, Li Muhua simply shook his head.

"If you don't study, what should you do at your age? Why skip a grade if there's nothing to do? It's good now. I don't have to worry about anything. I don't even have to worry about my test scores."

After saying this, Li Muhua looked towards Li Aihua and asked with some doubt:

"Brother, your academic performance has always been so good since you were young, why don't you skip a grade?"

When Li Aihua heard Li Muhua's question, she immediately glared at him and said, "Am I asking you, or are you asking me?" Then she softened her tone.

"Little brother, listen to me and work hard. If you skip a grade next year, the four of us can—"

Before Li Aihua could finish speaking, Li Muhua turned around on the kang and turned his head towards the window.

"Don't listen to me, it's nonsense. When I skip a grade next year, you and my second brother will go to high school. There will be four of us. Four of us, what? Besides, if skipping a grade is as good as you say, why don't you skip it yourself and let me? I'm not a fool!"

Even if Li Aihua was well-mannered, he was so angry at Li Muhua's words that he stood up, glared at Li Muhua and said sternly:

"You can't even lift a stick of mud up against a wall. It's up to you whether you want to jump or not. I don't want to teach you!"

Having said that, Li Aihua angrily sat back at the table.

This scene couldn't help but surprise Li Qinghua who was standing next to them. In 15 years, he had never seen Li Aihua so angry, so at this moment his cunning eyes kept moving between the two of them, trying to learn this trick from Li Muhua.

But he was caught red-handed by Li Aihua who suddenly turned his head.

"Look, what are you looking at? Read your book!"

"You said little brother, I said--"

Li Qinghua hadn't finished his complaint before he was forced to swallow it back by Li Aihua's stabbing gaze. He then quickly turned his head and quickly put on an appearance of reading a book seriously.

Seeing that Li Aihua no longer forced him, Li Muhua was happy and relaxed. He lay on the kang and immersed himself in the world of picture books.

The three of them just sat there in silence, and the room was filled with depression.

In the end, it was Li Muhua who exclaimed first.

"Bang Geng, why did he come back now?"

At this time, the night had already enveloped the window, and even the lights in the houses in the front yard were on. If Li Muhua had not just gotten up from lying down and stretched, he would not have noticed the small figure.

Li Muhua leaned against the window and watched the small figure slowly move into the central courtyard, then he sat cross-legged back on the kang.

"Should I go and see what's going on?"

Just as this thought came to Li Muhua's mind, he heard a voice outside the door calling out, "Three debt collectors, come out for dinner!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muhua quickly climbed down from the kang, put on his shoes and ran out of the house.

"Hmph!" Looking at Li Muhua's wind-like figure, Li Aihua snorted coldly, then stood up and walked out of the house with a downcast face.

As soon as Li Muhua came out, she yelled, "Mom, why did you say there were three debt collectors? There should be four, you missed it for my third sister."

As Li Muhua spoke, she picked up the stewed cabbage that had just been served on the stove, and then with lightning speed, she reached out her hand, picked up a strand and put it into her mouth.

Seeing his behavior, Xu Yan raised her leg and kicked his butt lightly, saying, "You are here to collect debts, and Yujie is here to repay a favor."

Li Muhua followed her kick and ran directly to the main room.

Li Qinghua, who followed behind, immediately took over the conversation, smiled awkwardly, stepped forward and pressed Xu Yan's shoulders and said, "Mom, how come you know I want to collect the debt before I even mention the money?"

Xu Yan, who was originally smiling and enjoying Li Qinghua's massage, immediately changed her expression, turned around and tapped his fingers several times with a pair of chopsticks.

"Go away, debt collector, stay away from your mother!"

"Hehe~~"

Soon, all five members of the Li family sat at the table, except for the youngest father, Li Haifu. This was the special nature of the driver's job. He could not stay at home for more than two days. If he encountered a long-distance trip, he had to go out immediately, and then he would not be seen for several days again.

However, over the years, the Li family members have gotten used to it, so they didn't even ask.

At the dinner table, Xu Yan obviously noticed that her eldest son was a little unhappy, and he glanced coldly at Li Muhua from time to time, so Xu Yan directly directed her criticism at Li Muhua.

"Muhua, did you make your eldest brother angry? Look at his pouty mouth - you can hang an oil bottle on it."

When Li Muhua heard Xu Yan asking about himself, he looked up and glanced at Li Aihua who still had a sullen face, and couldn't help but think of his dark-faced father Li Fuhai.

This father and son are really the same, petty-minded, and can hold a grudge for a long time.

"How dare I offend big brother? This is all because of my natural intelligence!" Li Muhua, who had been speaking in a muffled voice, immediately became cheerful once he started praising himself.

"My eldest brother found out that I could learn as soon as I read a book, so he wanted me to teach him the sixth-grade textbook and let me skip a grade and go to junior high school. He got angry when I didn't want to."

Xu Yan listened to Li Muhua's words, but her eyes drifted towards Li Aihua.

When Li Aihua saw Xu Yan looking at her, she nodded with a cold face.

"I saw that my little brother's academic performance suddenly improved, and I thought he had become smart, so I wanted to let him go to junior high school as soon as possible, so that I wouldn't have to worry about him anymore because my third sister would look after him. But it turned out that he was not smart at all, and he was still a hopeless case.

I took the time to teach him, but he still refused."

Xu Yan didn't care about skipping a grade, but asked in surprise: "Has Mu Hua's academic performance really improved?"

"I didn't hear what Uncle Three said!"

When Li Muhua, who was busy eating, heard this, he remembered that he had just angered Zhao Wuchang today. He estimated that the news would be passed on to Yan Bugui soon, so he immediately continued:

"Mom, you will receive a letter in a few days!"

Li Muhua put down his chopsticks and scratched his head, saying, "It's been a bit strange lately. I feel like my brain has been working really fast since I fell into the water and was rescued last time. I can understand everything in the textbook just by looking at it. Don't worry about my studies!"

As he spoke, Li Muhua looked at Li Aihua.

"Brother, even if I want to skip a grade, I have to wait until the second half of next year. You can wait and see my academic performance first. At worst, you can teach me during the summer vacation so that I won't forget by then."

As he spoke, Li Muhua touched his head and smiled innocently.

Li Aihua listened and turned her head away proudly.

"Who wants to teach you? You wish!"

Xu Yan's face showed a bit of worry, simply because Li Muhua just mentioned the incident of falling into the water, plus the last incident at the Taoist temple.

She is always prone to daydreaming.

"Muhua, you feel your head changing—"

Before Xu Yan finished speaking, she heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Sister Yan, you guys are eating!"
