Zhao Lan nodded with relief: "It's good to go back. You've been in the team for so long, you must be missing home, right?"

Ning He nodded: "I want to go home and see my parents, they miss Qian Lin too."

"I didn't ask you yesterday, did the girl from the Yu family give you any trouble?"

If Zhao Lan used to think that Ning He was inferior to Yu Nianbai in every way, now, in Zhao Lan's eyes, no one can compare to Ning He.

What's more, Ning He suddenly said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, and Zhao Lan was afraid that it was because of what Yu Nianbai said to her yesterday.

Then he asked her with concern.

Ning He smiled and shook her head: "No, she came to me to return the gift money she had given me."

Zhao Lan was even more shocked: "Are you talking about the one thousand yuan gift money that Captain He gave to her family when they got engaged?"

Ning He nodded: "Yes, that's it."

Zhao Lan suddenly felt a little admiration for Yu Nianbai.

"This little girl is not simple. I heard from my husband, Old Yang, that the Yu family loves sons more than daughters. The one thousand yuan gift money given by Captain He was all used to raise their son. There is not a penny left. How could they be willing to give it back? This money is probably earned by this girl herself."

How many years would it take for a little girl to earn one thousand yuan?

Zhao Lan couldn't help but admire Yu Nianbai's perseverance.

"So, Sister Zhao Lan, please don't be so son-in-law-grateful in the future. Your two daughters are so sensible." Ning He took the opportunity to tease Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan waved her hand and rejected the idea outright: "Oh, no way! My Zhaodi and Pandi are so well behaved. I love them so much."

Ning He just smiled and said nothing.

Just as the two of them were talking, Jiang Minke came with Jiang Zhengyu.

Jiang Minke saw Ning He sitting next to her after finishing her work and waved at her.

Ning He took Qian Lin over.

"Teacher Jiang, why are you here?" Ning He greeted them with a smile and looked at them in surprise.

Jiang Minke handed a few books in her hand to Ning He: "Xiao Ning, these are textbooks for the two years of high school. Although I can let you go to college, without the college entrance examination results, it will not be possible after all."

"What I mean is this, Xiaoning, you can come to the university to study during this period, and then you have to take the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination is over in July next year, you will be a legitimate college student."

Ning He certainly knew that the formal procedures could not be skipped, and she understood what Jiang Minke meant.

Jiang Minke was not trying to make things difficult for her, but was truly doing it for her own good.

Ning He took the books with a smile: "Teacher Jiang, thank you so much. In fact, whether I can go to college or not, I will take the college entrance examination. There is a saying that life is incomplete without taking the college entrance examination. I think the same as you, Teacher Jiang."

Hearing Ning He say this, Jiang Minke breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, as long as you understand."

Ning He smiled and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for giving me the book. I will read it carefully when I get back."

"You are so smart, this knowledge must be easy for you to understand." Jiang Minke was very confident in Ning He.

Ning He held those high school textbooks carefully. She knew that these textbooks were hard to come by in this era, and the fact that Jiang Minke could help her get them also showed Jiang Minke's expectations for her.

"Teacher Jiang, you and Xiaoyu haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll go get you two servings of mashed potatoes with sauce and four-fruit soup."

When Xiaoyu heard that there was something delicious, he couldn't help drooling.

He asked excitedly, "Aunt Xiaoning, what's delicious? The ice rice you made last time was delicious! It's better than the cream popsicles sold outside. I'm so greedy."

Ning He couldn't help laughing and said, "This four-fruit soup is almost like ice rice. You can try it when I make it."

Xiao Yu nodded wildly: "Okay, I love everything Aunt Xiao Ning makes!"

"You only know how to eat! I asked you to come here so that you can learn more from Aunt Xiaoning. All you do all day long is eat." Jiang Minke couldn't help but say.

Xiaoyu quickly explained, "Mom, I have finished all the homework assigned by the school. They are too simple and cannot compare to what Aunt Xiaoning taught me."

Jiang Zhengyu is in the fourth grade this year, but due to the limited education in this era, he is still doing the most basic calculation problems in the fourth grade, which is boring. In comparison, the calculation methods taught by Ning He are much more interesting.

"Aunt Xiaoning, can you give me some more questions to do later?"

"Okay." It's a good thing to love learning. Study for the rise of China.

Of course she did.

Zhao Lan helped serve the mashed potatoes, and Ning He brought two bowls of four-fruit soup and placed them in front of them.

Xiaoyu wolfed down the food, while Ninghe sat opposite them and assigned questions to Xiaoyu carefully.

Ning He finished writing the ten questions and handed them to Jiang Zhengyu: "Xiao Yu, take these ten questions home and do them first. I have to go back to my hometown next month. I will help you with these questions when I come back."

Xiaoyu suddenly felt that the food in front of him no longer tasted good.

"Aunt Xiaoning, you won't stop coming after you go home, right?"

"Of course not, I know Xiaoyu still wants to eat what I cook, right?" Ning He asked with a smile.

Seeing Xiaoyu nodded heavily, she continued, "So, I have to come back and make delicious food for Xiaoyu."

Xiaoyu instantly became happy again and scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it into his mouth.

"I want to eat everything Aunt Xiao Ning makes!"

Just as the cafeteria was filled with laughter, Jiang Huaizhi walked into the cafeteria.

Jiang Minke spotted Jiang Huaizhi at the door and motioned him to come over.

Jiang Huaizhi felt a little helpless, but facing his only sister, he still walked towards her.

As he approached, Jiang Huaizhi noticed Ning He, who was reading a book with her back to him.

Qianlin called him politely, "Hello, Uncle Jiang."

"Hello, Qianlin." Jiang Huaizhi greeted Qianlin with a smile.

Ning He raised her head and saw Jiang Huaizhi standing in front of her, she quickly stood up. Before I could open my mouth, he interrupted me.

"Just sit down, there's no need to do this."

"Ninghe, just sit here. I called him here because I have something to ask him." Jiang Minke gave Jiang Huaizhi a displeased look.

She had even asked Chiang Kai-shek to lose face and take her brother to meet the female soldiers in the art troupe, but several days had passed and her brother showed no interest at all.

She wanted to talk to him these days, but he went out with Lao Jiang every other day. Wasn't he just avoiding her, his sister?

Jiang Minke couldn't see anyone, so she simply told Jiang Yuanzhao to ask Jiang Huaizhi to come to the cafeteria today, and she would block Jiang Huaizhi there.

Ning He offered a seat to the side and said with a smile, "It's not good to chat while standing. There aren't many other things in the cafeteria, but there are a lot of chairs. Commander Jiang, please sit down and chat."

After Ning He finished speaking, she pulled Qian Lin away.

Jiang Minke didn't let Ning He leave: "Xiao Ning, sit down and give me some advice!"
