Chapter 643 Talking on the Phone with Uncle and Aunt

After the call connected, Xia Chuyi immediately said, "Uncle, it’s me!"

On the other end of the phone, Uncle Xia heard Xia Chuyi’s voice and was very happy as he said, "Chuyi, is that you? Is it really you?"

"I heard from Qianqian that you had your final exams a couple of days ago."

"How did it go? Did you do well?"

The familiar voice and concern warmed Xia Chuyi’s heart instantly.

"You, don’t be too nervous, just take the test with a normal state of mind, Uncle believes in you!" continued Uncle Xia. "Of course, it’s not a big deal if you didn’t do well, we can always start over, right?"

"I heard you can retake the exams?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi really couldn’t help but force a smile.

Her uncle always cared for her first, putting his own son to the side.

But seeking care this way, that’s what an uncle does!

Grasping the receiver, Xia Chuyi gave a slight smile and said, "I’m doing quite well, no issues with the exams."

"By the way, I heard Xiao Gui got into high school?" Xia Chuyi finally got to the main point.

"Oh, that matter, yes." On the other end of the phone, Uncle Xia didn’t seem too interested as he said, "This kid, I don’t know what kind of luck he stumbled into, just cramming books in the last year of junior high and he somehow managed to get into high school."

"Uncle, why do you say that?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh as she said, "Xiao Gui worked hard to achieve it."

"Hard work, what...", Uncle Xia had only begun to speak when Aunt Xia snatched the phone from him.

"Is that Chuyi? Is it Chuyi?" Aunt Xia’s loud voice carried over from the other end.

"Auntie, it’s me." Xia Chuyi responded with a smile.

Hearing Xia Chuyi’s voice, Aunt Xia immediately laughed and said, "Chuyi, I heard you took your finals recently, how did it go? Were you tired?"

"Chuyi, while exams are definitely important, you also need to look after your health!"

"What do they say, work and rest, yes, balance work and rest!" Aunt Xia said.

On hearing this, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but laugh.

Where had her aunt picked up that phrase?

Even though the other party couldn’t see her, Xia Chuyi still nodded and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Auntie, I understand."

"By the way, I’ve heard about Xiao Gui getting into high school, congratulations to Xiao Gui, and congrats to Uncle and Auntie as well."

In this era, being able to officially get into a high school was quite an accomplishment.

"Hey, what’s there to congratulate?" Aunt Xia said over the phone, "It’s just high school, not university, right?"

Xia Chuyi laughed and said, "Getting into high school is still an achievement, it’s worth celebrating."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chuyi earnestly said, "Auntie, did you give Xiao Gui any reward?"

"Do you need me to bring anything back from Capital City?"

"Reward, what reward!" Aunt Xia hurriedly said, "That little rascal, wait until he does something impressive like you and gets into university, then he’ll get a reward."

"Though, I tell you, if he can get me into a community college by then, I’ll be thanking my lucky stars and chanting Amitabha!"

At these words, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but shake her head with a laugh: her aunt was relentless when it came to teasing her own son.

"Still, a reward is something you ought to give..." Xia Chuyi was saying on the phone.

But before she could finish, she heard Zhao Xiaogui’s voice yelling from the other side of the line, "Sis, sis, sis, I want a reward, I want a reward!"

Zhao Xiaogui’s voice was particularly loud.

"Ow, ow!" Very quickly, Xia Chuyi heard two cries of pain.
