Seeing Xu Sisi prostrate herself over her homework, Xu Niannian suddenly asked, "Sisi, is your school about to start?"
"Yeah." Xu Sisi said with a smile. Her dad had said that only by studying more could she achieve something in life and not have to do the exhausting and tedious farm work.
Plus, when she was studying, her grandma wouldn't let her do household chores, which was why Xu Sisi particularly enjoyed going to school.
Xu Sisi was only a few months younger than Xu Zhiqiang, also 15, soon to turn 16, and she was about to enter the first year of senior high school this year.
Xu Niannian was considered the best student in their family; she skipped two grades in primary school and had finished high school before she was even 17.
The old lady saw Xu Sisi smiling so hard her teeth were showing but her eyes weren't, and said irritably, "You, Black Coal Ball, are just eager for school to start so you don't have to work, aren't you?"
