Chen Ming really admired the talent of his younger brother and couldn't bear to let him waste his time.

"My family retired quite early. When I was young, I studied at home. Later, when I got older, my elders came to teach me personally. So, I don't even have a primary school diploma. I've learned that in this situation, it's impossible to apply for the exam."

"This..." This was a question Chen Ming had not expected.

If it was just a matter of getting into a high school or junior high school, it could be solved by using connections, but the span of elementary school was too large, and Chen Ming couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

Jin Zichu smiled and looked at Chen Ming, "Brother Ming, I have no worries about food and clothing now, and I am used to being free, so academic qualifications and the so-called iron rice bowl are not necessary for me."

Chen Ming frowned. Jin Zichu's words sounded a bit unambitious, but when he thought about it carefully, although he didn't know Jin Zichu's exact net worth, he had the confidence to say this, proving that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Isn't his cousin Xu's family the best proof?

And with his abilities and connections, he really doesn't need those things to decorate himself.

Chen Ming, having figured it out, stopped trying to persuade her and changed the subject, chatting about some anecdotes about the capital.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Jin Zichu said goodbye, and the brother and sister sent him to the gate before returning.

After running around a lot today, Xu Manman didn't want to bother with any more trouble at night. She told Chen Ming that she wanted to rest early and went back to the west wing first.

The bathroom on her side was well-maintained and fully equipped with everything. After dinner, Chen Ming left the stove on to boil water, so she could use it directly by turning on the faucet in the bathroom.

Xu Manman didn't enter the space either. She took her pajamas from the cloakroom, went to the bathroom to wash off the oil smoke, and after taking a shower, she opened another door of the bathroom and went directly to the activity room in the east wing.

On the cabinet against the wall is the radio that her uncle bought for her, but she has never used it even once.

Turning the button to turn on the switch, a crackling sound came from inside. Xu Manman tuned the FM to a stable band, and found that the sound playing here was actually a radio drama.

The radio host's voice was very contagious, but a little too formal. Xu Manman sat on the sofa, took out the silk cloth that she had not finished embroidering earlier, and used the noise from the radio as background music.

It was not until Xiao Jin's voice came into her mind that Xu Manman realized that a long time had passed.

I looked at the clock on the wall and it was already 9 p.m.

She packed the things in her hands into her backpack, locked the door of the east wing, turned off the lights in the house, returned to the bedroom, and after settling the doll, she slipped into the space.

The next day, after leaving the space and having breakfast, the two rode their bikes directly to school.

When Chen Mingzhi ran here, he found many shortcuts, saving nearly ten minutes on a journey that originally took more than half an hour.

When I arrived at the school, it was already the end of August. The old students would start school two days earlier, and the new students would start school on the 1st. However, many students from other places would come early, so there were quite a few people in the school at this time.

In order to save time, the two of them acted separately. Xu Manman rode her bike to the Economics Department Office and found the counselor to submit an application for day study. Xu Manman's uncle had informed the dean in advance, so there was no problem at the college and it was approved quickly.

Zhao Xiaofeng warned Xu Manman, "Your sophomore year doesn't include electives, so you'll have two days of evening classes. When you go home, try to find someone to go with you. Be sure to pay attention to safety. If it's too late, you can stay in the dormitory."

There are a lot more idle people outside now, and for a girl, especially a good-looking one, it is indeed a bit dangerous.

"Teacher, don't worry. I go to and from school with my cousin."

"Yes, and the school will organize home visits from time to time, but they will notify you one day in advance, so you can just leave someone at home when the time comes."

Xu Manman nodded, went to the counselor to get the books, and got the class schedule and transcript for this semester before coming out.

Although she had already known the grade ranking at the end of last semester from her uncle, Xu Manman was still very happy to see most of the full marks on the report card.

After I came out, I went to the English Department again, paid the textbook fee, received the books, and got the course schedule and transcript.

When she finished and came out, she saw Chen Ming who had rushed over from the Computer Department.

"Cousin, have you finished your day schooling?"

Chen Ming nodded and handed over the transcript and class schedule. "Your final grades are pretty good. Here's the class schedule. Take a look first. I'll go get the books."

Xu Manman took her cousin's report card. Well, it was really good. Every subject was around 90 points, and there were a few subjects with full marks.
