The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 67-68

Chapter 67

Just as the final exam scores came out, the school started assigning winter vacation homework. This was probably the first time Yun Xiaolu had seen so much homework since starting school.

"Do you feel like our teachers have started focusing on the class's studies since the second half of the semester?" Yun Xiaolu vaguely felt that the teachers were changing too.

The kids couldn't be so carefree anymore. Wasn't it time for a change? Xu Nianyun thought, "You have no idea what's coming. Wait a few years, and you'll see that the teachers' attention to studies is like gentle spring rain."

Since starting school, Yun Xiaolu had never ranked second in any exam, so she was already very calm about her grades. She wrote down all the homework, organized her school bag, and happily headed home with the other students from the village.

Just after the Chinese New Year, Zhao Yueji steamed jujube buns. These were originally for offering to the Kitchen God and the God of Wealth, but now no one dared to worship them, so Zhao Yueji made the buns purely for eating.

Yun Xiaolu noticed that her mother had been stocking up on things like crazy for the Lunar New Year. In addition to making seven or eight wax rabbits, she had also exchanged two roosters and a hen with someone in the village. These days, she had also started steaming buns again. Along with the wax sausages she made last time and half a bag of wood ear mushrooms, Zhao Yueji was also preparing to make tofu from beans.

Was this New Year celebration too extravagant?

"Do you really think we only prepare these things for the New Year?" Yun Shuang couldn't help but laugh when she heard her little sister's confusion. It turns out that no matter how clever a child is, they are still just a child.

"It's not for the New Year. It's to welcome the new sister-in-law, right?" Yun Xiaolu's eyes widened. She thought her mother was too generous. In the past few years, they didn't prepare all these things when her older brother came back.

"That's part of the reason, but the more important reason is that after your older brother returns home, we have to hold a wedding banquet."

"But didn't he already have a wedding in the army? It's been almost half a year. I thought we didn't need to hold a ceremony in our hometown." Yun Xiaolu had always thought that since her older brother's wedding was simple in the army, they didn't need to have one in their hometown.

"But your older brother has come back now. In our village, if we don't have a wedding banquet, it doesn't count as a real marriage. Now that your older brother has returned, we have to invite a few tables." Even though Yun Da suggested keeping it simple, Yun Shuang knew very well that her parents might simplify the guest list, but they would definitely not compromise on the preparations for the feast.

Only now did Yun Xiaolu realize why the family had been so busy lately. She sighed to herself, realizing that she had been naive.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Yueji was busy soaking beans and grinding them into paste to make tofu. The day after tomorrow was the New Year gathering, so this year's planned activities had to be completed quickly. Even Yun Haisheng had stopped his weaving project and was busy helping out every day.

"Mom, we're leaving."

Yun Xiaolu followed her sisters to the county today. The three sisters had already changed their clothes and shoes early in the morning, and they carried their bags and baskets.

Zhao Yueji followed behind and instructed, "After buying everything, don't wander around. If we can catch the afternoon bus, let's hurry back."

"I understand."
