Chapter 204: Mobilizing their expectations for the future (1)
After closing the kitchen door, two air conditioners were used to cool two bedrooms and a living room, and we finally felt a comfortable coolness.
Just leave the air conditioner packaging in the corridor and when you go out to take out the trash two minutes later, the two big cardboard boxes will be gone.
I ordered takeout for lunch, and after eating and drinking, I started to dismantle the bed, threw the bedding into the washing machine, disassembled the bed frame into parts and placed them in the corner of the balcony, mopped the floor twice, and took off my shoes at the bedroom door.
Sweeping and mopping the floor, I finally swept and mopped the whole house. It was clean and tidy, and it was comfortable to look at. It was not tiring at all, and I didn't even sweat.
After cleaning, it was time to prepare dinner. Ye Nai asked Yu Jiao, who had played all day, to do some summer homework, and took her shopping and walking after dinner.
When Yu Qing got home from get off work, he was greeted by plenty of air conditioning, a clean house, and freshly served meals.
In that blink of an eye, she felt that this was the life she wanted, no lazy husband, no noisy children, and no home that was always in a mess.
During the meal, Yu Qing and Ye Nai talked about the arrangements for the entire summer vacation, mainly about who would take care of Yu Jiao.
Yu Qing's unit allows children to bring their children to work, and during the winter and summer vacations the unit would use an empty room for after-school care. But Yu Jiao refused. She wanted to stay with her older sister more, so she was willing to endure traveling back and forth in the city with her older sister every day.
"Big sister, big sister, I'll follow you~"
"The driving school is full of adults, there's no place for kids. Your sister is going to practice driving, what are you doing? Can't you come to work with me? We're all the same age, and you have someone to play with."
"No, I don't want to play with them. I just want to follow my big sister."
"Part one is about learning traffic rules and taking classes in a classroom. You've been working with your mom these days, so I'm here to get to know the driving school and see if anyone else has children and how to accommodate them. Otherwise, I'll leave you on the sidelines while I practice, and you'll have a heat stroke after I come back from a round of practice."
"Yes, listen to your elder sister. Driving school is not a place for children to play. What if you accidentally run into the driving practice field and get into an accident? There are people in there who can't drive and can't even tell the difference between the accelerator and the brakes."
"Oh, okay, then if you can take me with you after you go to the driving school, you must take me with you."
"Okay, if I can take you, I will definitely take you."
"I plan to apply for home broadband this weekend. Does Xiaonai know anything about computers?"
"Do your homework on the computer?"
"Yes, the teacher said last night that it's best to bring a laptop to the intensive class. There are a lot of online real questions, and you can't do them without a computer."
"It's just for practicing questions. It just needs to be able to access the Internet. The performance requirements are not high, right? Are there any requirements for image and text processing? Do I need to watch a lot of pictures and videos?"
"As long as I can access the Internet, it's fine. As for pictures and videos, can I watch movies and TV online?"
"If you want a new device, you can just buy a student laptop, but it's expensive. Entertainment electronic products are all expensive. Have you considered a second-hand one? It's cheaper, but it will definitely work."
"Are second-hand computers clean? I heard that some may have viruses or contain private information of previous users."
"Just replace it with a brand new hard drive. It's generally cheaper than buying a new machine. If you're lucky, you can buy last year's model. You just need to be able to practice real questions. The requirements are simple. Don't expect it to last long. If its performance is not good enough, give it to my younger sister for online classes."
"Ah? Taking online classes?" Yu Jiao was suddenly struck by lightning.
"In order to balance the national education level, the country has built an online course center, which provides courses from elementary school to university." "Okay, I must be able to take online courses!" Yu Qing made a decisive decision.
Ye Na made an "OK" gesture.
Yu Jiao pursed his lips.
"Don't pout, study hard and keep up your grades. When I pass the intermediate accounting exam, I'll get a promotion and a raise, and transfer you to a key school. But the school despises you for your poor academic performance. Isn't that embarrassing?"
"Huh, what key schools are there in Dongling City?"
"If there is no job in the local area, you can go to another place. The premise is that Mom passes the intermediate accountant exam. There will be a salary increase, but there is no position for promotion. If you must be promoted, you can only be transferred to another place. What if you are transferred to a good city? If you go with her, but you can't transfer to a good school, will you still study?"
"Yes, listen to your elder sister. This is right. If I really pass the exam, I can only go to another place to get promoted." Yu Qing, who was picking up food, raised his eyes and looked at his youngest daughter and said seriously.
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I am only an intermediate accountant at my age, I only have many years of junior accounting experience, so there is no room for advancement. It would be great if I could get a raise. I am lucky. The company itself was nearly bankrupt and a state-owned enterprise took over. The large-scale recruitment allowed me to catch up. If I had obtained the certificate, I could really follow this path, get a promotion and a raise, and I could get more pension in the future."
"Well, okay, Mom, you work hard, and I will work hard too."
"Mom, when you go to get broadband, please get a secondary SIM card for my little sister. I'll give her an unused phone so we can contact each other if anything happens."
"Really? I have a mobile phone too?!" Yu Jiao looked happy.
Yu Qing hesitated for a moment, but when she thought about how she had left her little daughter at home alone for the past two months while she was attending night school and hadn't received a phone call, she felt it was not good, so she nodded.
"Okay, I'll do it together."
After dinner, Yu Qing went to class while the two sisters did the housework. Yu Jiao went out to take out the trash and came back to circle around Ye Nai. She splashed dishwater on her face but she refused to leave.
"What do you want to do? Just say it if you have something to say. No one is home."
"Sister, do schools outside of town really have to look at grades when admitting students?"
"Of course. The better the school, the more it values students' grades. Parents will also compare which school their children attend. You don't like going to work with your mother. Do you often get asked this kind of question?"
"Yes, there are also people who bring delicious food to ask me if I have eaten it before, why not, is it because your mother didn't buy it for you? Why didn't your mother buy it for you? Ask your mother to buy it for you. I am so annoyed by them."
"Heh, they bully you because they look down on mom, so you should support mom to succeed in the exam. Once she reaches a new level, these low-level harassment will stay away from you. No matter what grudges there are between adults, they will fight among themselves and will not easily vent on other people's children. This is an act of making a big enemy."
"Oh~" Yu Jiao nodded as if he understood, but he was still young and didn't understand clearly, but he was not so angry anymore.
"Are you done? If you are, wash your hands and change your clothes. I will be out right after I am done."
"Okay~"
More than ten minutes later, the two sisters went out shopping. Ye Na, who was not short of money, indulged her younger sister in fulfilling all her wishes. She bought a few things that others had shown off to her before, and would buy the rest when she saw them later.
It's just showing off. What good things can an employee who earns a salary in an organization show off?
