Wang Yingqiu could hardly believe her eyes. Jiang Xuan was actually a top student at Ningzhou University.

That's amazing.

The admission scores for Ningzhou University are already quite high, especially considering she's from out of town.

"Oh my, this is wonderful news! I'll go order two more dishes, and we can celebrate as a family."

Wang Yingqiu quickly came out, supporting her back as she walked to the side room, closed Lu Tingting's book, and whispered, "Stop studying, stop studying for now."

Lu Tingting removed the cotton ball from her ear. "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Didn't you hear? Jiang Xuan got accepted to Ningzhou University. I think her major is applied mathematics or something?"

"Huh? What happened? Didn't they already register for university? She and her sister applied to the same school!"

"What is it?" Wang Yingqiu lowered her voice. "It was her aunt who made her daughter take her place, but the school found out. Let's not talk about that for now. Go to the store and buy two bottles of sweet wine and a watermelon. Go chat with Jiang Xuan for a while. You need to get closer to her now, okay?"

Lu Tingting nodded.

She understood what her mother meant. Although her overall score was not bad, her math score was not outstanding, especially in spatial reasoning questions, where she always lost a lot of points. Her math score of 120 had been hovering around 100.

The homeroom teacher also said that if I can get 110 points in math, then getting into Ningzhou University shouldn't be a problem.

Ningzhou University is her ideal school.

Wang Yingqiu glanced out the window and continued, "She's been tutoring my younger sister lately, and maybe her grades will improve too. Sigh, just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Lu Tingting took Wang Yingqiu's arm and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, your health is the most important thing. Don't worry, I have a good foundation, and if I review my studies and fill in the gaps in my knowledge, I will definitely be able to get into Ningbo University."

Wang Yingqiu patted her hand, "Anyway, if there's anything you don't understand, just ask. Also, ask your little sister if Jiang Xuan gave her any information. You should take a look too."

"Mom, my little sister is definitely reviewing basic knowledge points, which I don't need."

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking now. Go to the store and put your bag on, otherwise it'll be hard to carry."

"Okay, I understand."

After leaving her daughter's room, Wang Yingqiu glanced at the main house again before heading to the kitchen.

She thought of Aunt Yang Shuying, Jiang Xuan's mother.

A few days ago, she checked with Director Chen of the machinery factory again and confirmed that he could indeed arrange a temporary job for Jiang Yonggui.

But now, she's a little hesitant.

Logically speaking, Yang Shuying must have mentioned Jiang Yonggui's job transfer to Jiang Xuan before. The fact that she approached her again later suggests that Jiang Xuan had probably rejected her.

Previously, she had planned to keep Yang Shuying in Ningzhou to annoy Jiang Xuan, but now her thoughts have changed.

Her daughter is about to take the college entrance exam, and she still needs Jiang Xuan to tutor her daughter.

At this critical juncture, she certainly wouldn't want to gamble with her daughter's future.

She decided to leave Jiang Yonggui's matter alone for the time being.

Lu Tingting came back with Lu Pei'an.

Lu Pei'an was carrying a watermelon and a bunch of bananas, while Lu Tingting was carrying two bottles of sweet wine and a cantaloupe.

It's clear he's in a good mood.

Upon reaching the main room, he put down the fruit and said, "I've heard about your situation. Congratulations."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu."

Before Lu Pei'an could say anything more, Wang Yingqiu called for dinner to be served.

Lu Tingting and Lu Xiaomei helped serve the food.

The family sat together, and Lu Shengye opened two bottles of sweet wine, pouring wine for everyone.

As she handed it to Wang Yingqiu, Jiang Xuan said, "Aunt Wang is still pregnant and can't drink alcohol."

Lu Shengye was taken aback.

Wang Yingqiu smiled and said, "Drinking a little won't hurt."

People at that time didn't have as many customs as people in later generations, and there were no dietary restrictions during pregnancy.

Since that's what they said, Jiang Xuan couldn't say anything more.

Dian Dian stared longingly for a long time until Lu Shengye sat down, at which point he finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Dad, where's mine?"

"Children should not drink alcohol."

With a frown on her little face, she muttered softly, "Why can you adults do it, but we kids can't? How can the world be so unfair?"

Fanxing patiently explained, "Brother, we'll be able to drink it when we grow up."

"How long will it take to grow up? I can't wait even a day."

Lu Shengye said in a deep voice, "Dian Dian."

Lu Diandian immediately shut up.

Lu Rongde sat in the main seat, raised his wine glass, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice, "Great! Xuanxuan is truly the pride of our Lu family!"

Lu Shengye looked at Jiang Xuan with gentle and affectionate eyes.

“Our family has been in the military for three generations. It is our duty to protect our country. You have been admitted to a good university and will surely become a talent for our country in the future. Although you have not chosen the path of military service, no matter which path you take, you must remember the tradition of our military family—loyalty, courage, and selfless dedication.”

"Your grandfather has experienced many ups and downs in his life and witnessed the rise of New China. Seeing the achievements of your younger generation fills me with immense pride. I hope you will study hard in university, stay true to your original aspirations, and become a useful member of society."

Jiang Xuan stood up and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I will always remember your teachings."

Wang Yingqiu didn't like listening to these empty slogans at all; her only thought now was how to bring up the matter of tutoring her daughter.

Lu Rongde looked at Lu Xiaomei and Lu Tingting again and said, "You should also follow the example of your sister Xuanxuan, study hard, work hard, and dedicate your strength to the construction of our motherland."

Lu Xiaomei quickly replied, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely get into a good university."

Lu Pei'an was quite surprised; he glanced at his daughter.

He recently noticed that his daughter seemed to have changed. Not only did she stop wearing those strange clothes and dyeing her hair in a messy way, but she also became more studious, studying almost all day and keeping the lights on late at night.

Good thing.

Lu Tingting smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. I originally wanted to go to Ningbo University too, but now that I have such a good role model as Sister Xuanxuan, I feel even more motivated."

"Good, it's a good thing to have ambition."

When the topic was finally brought up, Wang Yingqiu perked up.

She put down her chopsticks, smiled, and said, "Jiang Xuan, you got into such a good university, you must have a lot of learning experience."

She looked at Lu Xiaomei and said, "And I think you're quite suited to be a teacher. Look, you tutored Xiaomei for a while, and she's become more interested in learning."

"Tingting is doing well in all her other subjects, but she hasn't quite grasped a few chapters in math. I wonder if you have time to help her catch up?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "It's possible, but I'm about to go to school to register. The school is far away, and I have a lot of courses in my first year, so I probably won't have that much time."
