In the evening, the children came back from school and learned that Mother was going to the Prefecture again. The four siblings stood in line in front of Qin Yao, looking at her with hopeful eyes.
Qin Yao knew immediately that they were still thinking about last year's trip to the Prefecture, hoping she'd make up an excuse to let them skip school and go along.
Unfortunately, this year was different from last year.
Last year, there were six of them; when the two adults left, she couldn't rest easy with only the four siblings left behind. Besides, taking them out into the world was a great opportunity.
But this year, there were Ah Wang and Mrs. Li at home, so everything was taken care of, and she could leave without any worries.
This year, the academic pressure was heavy, unlike last year's playful beginner stage.
With Liu Ji, this moping helper, gone, who would help with tutoring?
That's absolutely impossible. She wanted to live a few more years.
