Chapter 17 Don't delay your studies
Ji Zhouzi returned home. Grandma Ji saw that she was back and asked casually, "Have you finished the midterm exam?"
Ji Zhouzi felt guilty inexplicably, "Well, I've finished the exam, and I'll have a half-day vacation in the afternoon."
Seeing grandma cooking, Ji Zhouzi volunteered: "Grandma, my uncle has to go to school in the afternoon. I'll deliver meals to my grandfather and dad later."
Grandma Ji agreed in one bite, "Sure, the rice basket is there. Just wash your hands and go to serve the rice, serve the dishes and soup."
Ji Zhouzi responded, and after packing the food, he took the rice basket to the hospital.
She pushed open the door with a familiarity. Seeing that her grandfather was awake now, she quickly walked to the hospital bed and looked at her grandfather with concern, "Grandpa, how are you in good health today?"
Ji Dong took out the small table, took the rice basket from her, and started to arrange the meal.
Grandpa Ji nodded, "Everything is fine, nothing is wrong."
He asked her again, "Did you have a meal?"
Ji Zhouzi shook his head, "No, I'll go home after class, and I'll bring you and dad lunch first."
Grandpa Ji quickly urged her to go back, "Then you go home to have dinner soon. It's 12 o'clock, so you should be hungry. After going home, take a nap and have to go to school in the afternoon."
Ji Zhouzi waved his hand, "It's okay, it's all right, it's the afternoon holiday, I'm not hungry."
Ji Dong asked in confusion: "It's only Friday, why is it on holiday in the afternoon?"
Ji Zhouzi remembered that he hadn't told his father about this, so he said, "I've finished the midterm exam, and the school has specially given us a half-day leave."
Ji Dong knew that his daughter was going to take the midterm exam, but he didn't know that the school would have a long vacation. He nodded and asked casually: "Then how did you do this exam?"
Ji Zhouzi blinked and touched his nose guiltily, "It's okay."
Ji Dong remembered that his daughter was at the middle and upper level in the class before, and since her daughter said it was okay, it shouldn't be much worse, so she didn't ask much.
Seeing this, Ji Zhouzi felt relieved.
Grandpa Ji was put on a cast and tied with a bandage on his left leg. The doctor said he could not move it. Every time he ate and went to the toilet was the most troublesome thing. Small digits had catheters, and large digits could only lie on the hospital bed and put the potty in the toilet. Fortunately, Ji Dong was by Grandpa Ji's side day and night, which was much more convenient.
Ji Zhouzi wanted to help feed her, but Ji Dong saw her at a glance and waved her hand to stop her: "Don't help too much. We still asked the nurse for feeding. Every child doesn't understand every family, so you don't need you here. Hurry up and go back to have a meal."
Ji Zhouzi had to give up the position to his father. Suddenly she remembered something, and she whispered: "Dad, can you give me 10 yuan? I want to buy a brush, a bottle of ink, a copybook and some paper to practice calligraphy."
Ji Dong frowned while carefully feeding the food, "How much do you want to practice calligraphy? The school asked you to practice?"
Ji Zhouzi shook his head, "It's not something that the school allows me to practice..."
Ji Dong's face showed a look of disagreement, "Since it's not something that the school asked you to practice, don't waste your time and energy on such unnecessary things. Your classmates haven't practiced this, what's the use of practicing this? It's better to read books and study hard when can you get into the top ten in the class with this time?"
Ji Zhouzi pursed her lips and tried to reason with her father, "You can practice calligraphy with a brush..."
He was interrupted by Ji Dong's tough stubbornness, "Don't bully your father, you did the exam with a brush calligraphy? Just your popularity in the three minutes is a waste of money when you buy it."
He was afraid that his daughter would be rebellious, so he said earnestly: "If you spend time practicing calligraphy, your classmates will have more time to read and review, and the gap between you and your classmates will only get farther and farther. Don't delay your studies, study is the top priority. Mom and dad work hard, just want you to get into a good university and don't let your father down."
Ji Zhouzi's heart was filled with loss and replied softly, "Well, Dad, I understand."
But when grandpa was watching her father lower his head and spoon the rice, he even made a mouth shape. Ji Zhouzi's loss suddenly dissipated.
What my grandfather said was that my father refused to buy it for her, so she would go find Azu.
