The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1522

Chapter 1522: A Fourth-Grade Question

That question was an implicit admission in itself.

Ye Youyou blew a silent raspberry. What an elaborate scheme!

She had thought that his reason for wanting to bring the children over was really to help the old grandfather relieve his boredom at home. She never expected for there to be a scheme behind it.

Li Sicheng said nothing more. The sound of the children’s running steps could be heard coming from upstairs.

Li Jianyue was jumping and bouncing away. When she saw Li Jinnan, she laughed merrily and ran down, yelling along the way, “Uncle! Hey, Auntie is here too!”

As Li Jianyue had previously showered with Ye Youyou, her memory of her was a lot clearer than Li Mosen’s.

Li Jinnan waved Li Jianyue over, saying, “Come here, Ersu.”

Li Ersu immediately leapt over, giving Su Qianci a shock. Su Qianci called out in concern, “Be careful!”

However, Li Ersu was bold and daring. She made her way down in three leaps and ran over to Li Jinnan, throwing herself directly on his legs. “Uncle!” she greeted coquettishly.

Li Jinnan scooped her up and asked, “Have Dad and Mom been taking you to school?”

“No. I had exams recently,” Li Jianyue replied cheerily. “The stuff on the exams was so easy! I finished them in a short while, and all my answers were correct!”

“Oh? What exam was that?” Li Jinnan asked.

“It’s the school’s entry examination. When September comes, I’ll be in first grade.” Li Jianyue was clearly very proud of herself. “My brothers have been going to school too! I think Brother Mosen is in third grade.”

“That smart? He skipped a grade?” When Li Jinnan asked the question, he was looking in Li Sicheng’s direction.

“Yeah. He skipped a grade. He took the examinations and scored perfectly for all his subjects.” Li Sicheng sounded very pleased. “He was actually supposed to go straight to fifth grade, but we didn’t want the gap to be too big. It’s not good for a child’s development.”

“Why do I feel like you’re bragging?” Li Jinnan asked.

“Nope, I’m just stating the facts.” Li Sicheng’s tone was matter-of-fact. “Hurry up if you want to take the children over. I still have work to do.”

“Sister-in-law is at home anyway,” Li Jinnan said. “Just go ahead and do what you need to!”

“She’s coming with me.” Li Sicheng held his wife and said, “I don’t feel comfortable leaving the kids alone at home. Hurry and take them with you.”

Li Jianyue blinked her eyes and asked, “Daddy, where are we going?”

“To stay for a few days at Grandpa’s. Great-grandpa has been alone at home for the past few days and has been very bored. It’ll be good if you can keep him company,” Su Qianci replied. “In a few days’ time, when Grandpa and Grandma are back from their holiday, you’ll come back home.”

Li Jianyue understood and looked toward Li Jianqian, who was walking over. She said, “Brother, we’ll get to play with Great-grandpa again!”

Li Jianqian nodded his head, and replied, “OK. Dad, I’ve finished my homework. You can take a look.”

He passed his book over to Li Sicheng, who began flipping through it.

After approximately two minutes, Li Sicheng nodded his head and said, “Alright, but the last question was wrong. Come here, I’ll explain it to you.”

Li Jianqian walked over earnestly and stood by his father’s side. His eyes were on the book.

Li Sicheng pointed to the question and slowly explained it to him.

The question sounded familiar to Ye Youyou. She asked, “That question sounds a little difficult. What grade is this for?”

“It’s only for fourth grade. It’s not that hard. Once you know the formula, solving the problem becomes very easy.” Li Sicheng frowned slightly. “You shouldn’t have gotten this wrong. Your steps are almost correct except for one here. Look…”
