Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 157 Family Meeting
Can it be understood this way? Tao Qiuyi was stunned by his ability to understand. If he thought so, Li Zi and Xiao Huai would definitely think the same thing since they hadn't returned yet.

"Your ability to understand is really amazing." Tao Qiuyi was shocked. He gave Wei Jingyuan a blank look and turned to walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Wei Jingyuan turned around and asked her.

"Go call Li Zi and Xiao Huai in. It's so cold outside. If it gets any colder, they'll be frozen into popsicles." After the unpleasant voice fell, Tao Qiuyi's figure disappeared outside the door.

It was really another misunderstanding. Wei Jingyuan smiled helplessly and continued walking.

When he came to the yard, he saw Li Zi and Xiao Huai sitting on the kitchen threshold, their eyes staring at the backpack in the yard. Tao Qiuyi was speechless for a moment.

Really looking at the meat.

Blame her for not explaining herself clearly.

Tao Qiuyi walked over and said, "Li Zi, Xiao Huai, it's too cold outside. You don't have to watch over the meat. Go back inside and warm up."

"Sister-in-law, why did you come out?" Li Zi stood up and walked towards Tao Qiuyi.

"I came out to call you and Xiao Huai into the house." Reaching out and pinching Li Zi's face, Tao Qiuyi said, "Your little face is almost frozen. Why are you so silly?"

"Stupid, it's so cold outside, go back inside after putting the meat out. I asked you and Xiao Huai to take the meat out and put it away, not to let you get cold outside too."

"Sister-in-law, you can't go into the house. You have to stay outside." Li Zi said, looking at the opposite side, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

That was the house where Boss Wei and Comrade Li Hongying lived. Tao Qiuyi followed his gaze and saw a figure flash by quickly.

I see, someone is eyeing their flesh.

"It's okay, both of you come with me into the house. If anyone dares to come here and try to mess with us, I will chop her off." Tao Qiuyi walked back holding Li Zi's hand.

Xiao Huai got up and followed them into the house.

Seeing the three people coming in, Wei Jingyuan said nothing and continued with the reconstruction.

Tao Qiuyi brought Lizi and Xiaohuai to the table and sat them down. She looked up at Wei Jingyuan and said, "Wei Jingyuan, come here. Let's have a small family meeting."

"Sister-in-law, what is a family meeting?" Li Zi asked as usual.

Xiao Huai also looked at Tao Qiuyi, waiting for her answer.

Tao Qiuyi lived up to their expectations and explained with a smile, "It's just that our family gathers together to discuss things."

"Sister-in-law, you just make the decision. Li Zi and I will listen to you." Xiao Huai said.

"I'll listen to you too." Wei Jingyuan also came over and sat on the long bench.

"I'm very happy that you all listened to me." Tao Qiuyi's eyes swept across the faces of the three siblings, "But, you are also part of this family and have the right to decide some things."

"Lizi, Xiaohuai, what I'm about to say is related to you. After I finish, if you have any opinions or better suggestions, you can raise them."

When they heard that it was related to them, Li Zi and Xiao Huai looked at Tao Qiuyi with confusion.

Tao Qiuyi didn't keep the secret and told them that he wanted them to go to school, including the news he heard from Zhang Moli.

Then Tao Qiuyi asked Lizi and Xiaohuai, "Lizi, Xiaohuai, what age do you think is suitable for you to study based on the knowledge you have learned so far?"

"I... I don't know." Li Zi shook her head blankly. To be honest, she was still immersed in the surprise that she could go to school again, and her mind was completely unable to think.

"I want to choose fifth grade," Xiao Huai said. Wei Jingyuan looked at Xiao Huai and said, "You and Li Zi were in third grade when you dropped out. Two years have passed, and you should have been in fifth grade if you hadn't dropped out, but you and Li Zi haven't been to school for two years."

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi followed up, "Xiao Huai, you and Li Zi haven't even finished third grade yet. It would be very difficult for you to go straight to fifth grade now, or you might not be able to understand the lessons at all."

"I think it's okay for you to go to the second grade now."

"Second grade." Wei Jingyuan looked at Tao Qiuyi in surprise. He never thought that her suggestion was to go to the second grade.

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi nodded. "Second grade is good. Li Zi and Xiao Huai have been to second grade once before, so there's no need to worry about not being able to keep up with the learning progress."

"He can go to the school in our brigade in the second grade, and he doesn't have to walk too far, so it's a win-win situation."

"No, no." Li Zi waved her hands repeatedly.

"No." Xiao Huai also refused seriously. They all wanted to move up a grade, but she felt that they should go to the second grade and move down a grade.

"What's wrong?" Tao Qiuyi asked with a frown.

Li Zi hung her head and said, "Sister-in-law, we were in the third grade when we dropped out of school. If we go back to the second grade now, we'll be demoted and people will laugh at us."

"Is it more important to learn knowledge or to have other people's opinions?" Tao Qiuyi had never been to a proper school and had no idea how people would laugh at him if he was demoted.

"Li Zi and I are already eleven years old. We'll be twelve after the New Year. It's really not possible for us to go back to the second grade." Xiao Huai argued with a bitter look on his face. "I still think it's better to go to the fifth grade."

Tao Qiuyi asked Xiao Huai, "Do you know the third and fourth grade courses? And fifth grade has already started for over a month. Can you keep up with the learning progress?"

Xiao Huai said, "Sister-in-law, the textbooks you bought for Li Zi and me are for grades one to five. Li Zi and I have been studying these past few days and have asked my brother about anything we don't understand."

Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan and saw him nod. She asked, "Can you help them with their studies?"

"Of course I can." Wei Jingyuan nodded, then expressed his concerns, "But as for the school, if Li Zi and Xiao Huai are asked to take the entrance exam..."

"That's troublesome, right?" Tao Qiuyi finished what he hadn't finished saying.

Wei Jingyuan nodded.

Lizi raised her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to fifth grade too."

"Just be a good listener." Tao Qiuyi glanced at her, "You are afraid of being laughed at, so you should just listen to your eldest brother and Xiao Huai."

Xiao Huai insisted, "I insist on going to the fifth grade."

Seeing Xiao Huai so insistent for the first time, Tao Qiuyi suddenly became curious about why he was so insistent, so she asked, "Xiao Huai, your reason for insisting on going to fifth grade is not the same as Li Zi's, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Huai nodded seriously.

Suddenly feeling that he really couldn't understand the teenagers' thoughts, Tao Qiuyi threw the question to Wei Jingyuan, "Wei Jingyuan, you go talk to them. I'll go next door to prepare the medicinal tea."

"Okay, I'll tell them." Wei Jingyuan nodded, and then added, "If you feel tired, you can take a nap."

Tao Qiuyi waved his hand and walked out of the house.

As they closed the door, they glanced across the street. Unsurprisingly, another figure flashed by. It seemed like Boss Wei and his men were really planning on following their every move.

With an indifferent smile, Tao Qiuyi walked into the next room. As soon as she entered the room, she went into the ring space to sort the herbs.
