"Lian'er." Old Man Qiao felt that he must be dreaming.

I just received a letter from Lian'er five days ago, telling me about her situation in the capital. How could she be here today? That's impossible.

"Yes, Grandpa, Grandma, it's me." Qiao Lian'er smiled sweetly.

"My sickle!" Old Mrs. Qiao put down her food bowl and ran over with open arms.

Overwhelmed with excitement, she staggered and nearly lost her balance.

She didn't care how Lian'er came to be; she was happy to see Lian'er.

But Grandma Qiao also knew that seeing the person right now was definitely unrealistic, so she only felt at ease after she actually held the person in her arms.

Old Man Qiao also came forward, looking left and right, almost rubbing his eyes out. It was indeed Lian'er, but it seemed that Lian'er had grown an inch taller and her figure had become slender, gradually resembling a young woman.

It seems that Lian'er is really doing very well in the capital.

Having confirmed the person's identity, the two elders were left with only one question.

Qiao Lian'er said, "Let's talk about it when everyone is here."

The Qiao family members who were at home also came out. Except for Qiao Yunni, who had gone to Yuezhou, it was evening, and the men had also returned from the camp.

Everyone was shocked to see Qiao Lian'er.

"Let's eat first," said Qiao Lao Er.

Mrs. Feng went into the kitchen and cooked two more dishes.

Eating hometown dishes and feeling the warmth of everyday life, Qiao Lian'er felt that she had no regrets in her life.

"Come on, Lian'er, eat more. Although you eat well in the capital, it's different. You'll miss it after a while." Old Mrs. Qiao piled more food onto Qiao Lian'er's plate.

"It took me two hours to get here from the capital." After Qiao Lian'er finished speaking, everyone put down their chopsticks and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What? Lian'er, this, this can't be possible!" Old Man Qiao exclaimed in surprise.

I received this letter five days ago. If I had to pick one of the top three horses in the world within a few days, the kind that never gets tired, and can run continuously for five days straight, it would still be able to reach its destination.

This is the limit they envisioned.

“I have my own way. It’s not just me; others can also return in two hours. If any of you want to go to the capital, I can take you there, but this matter must be kept absolutely secret.” Qiao Lian’er emphasized solemnly at the end.

If people found out, they'd probably beat her up like a monster.

The Qiao family's eyes lit up immediately when they learned that they could go to the capital to reunite with their families in just two hours.

They didn't care how to achieve it or how far-fetched it was; if Lian'er said it was no problem, then it was no problem.

Qiao Lao Er said excitedly, "That's great! They said it would take more than twenty days to go to and from the capital. After you go to the capital, you will only be able to see each other once every six months or a year."

"Now that we have this trick, we don't have to worry about it so much anymore."

“This time, I plan to take Brother Xinghe and Sister Xi’er with me,” Qiao Lian’er said.

“There are many famous teachers in the capital, and there are countless successful candidates in the imperial examinations. It is not difficult for Brother Xinghe to pass the imperial examinations, but if he wants to excel, he might have a better chance of studying in the capital.”

Only those who rank high in the exam will gain the attention of the Ministry of Personnel and be given a good position.

Only then will Sister Xi'er's future be better.

Even if the family splits up in the future, everyone in this family must become strong and lay a solid foundation for their descendants.

“That’s a good idea, Xinghe. There’s still more than a month until the exam. You can go to the capital for a month of advanced studies. Then, your sister Lian’er will send you directly to Yuezhou. It won’t cause any delays,” said Old Man Qiao.
