Li Juan burst into tears immediately after hearing this.

"No wonder, no wonder I felt a connection with that child, it turns out it was because of Xiaoyu."

Su Yan was completely confused.

Jiang Jingxing seems friendly, but what's his relationship with Su Yu?

She didn't quite understand her mother's thought process, but went along with her and said, "Yes."

Suddenly remembering something, Li Juan grabbed her hand and asked, "Does Comrade Jiang know Xiaoyu's whereabouts?"

Su Yan shook her head. "Jiang Jingxing said that my brother was on a special mission, and no one else would know about it except for specific personnel."

Upon hearing this, Li Juan moved her lips, but ultimately said nothing more.

She considered asking Jiang Jingxing for help, but then thought better of it.

If there were any news about her son, it would have come back long ago; she couldn't cause trouble for others.

Su Yan knew exactly what her mother was thinking and comforted her, "Mother, no news is good news. Maybe my brother's mission has been going on for too long and hasn't ended yet, which is why there's been no news. Don't you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

Li Juan's smile seemed forced. "I hope so."

What kind of task can take so long to complete?

Going to the battlefield again, the odds are probably against him.

"Alright, alright, look how nice the clothes Jiang Jingxing sent us are! Hurry up and try them on."

Su Yan stuffed the clothes into her mother's hands and changed the subject.

Li Juan glared at her and scolded, "That's your older brother's comrade-in-arms. You should call him Brother Jiang. Don't keep calling him Jiang Jingxing. It's so impolite."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Su Yan had to coax and plead with her mother to finally get her into the room to try on clothes.

The three sets of clothes Jiang Jingxing bought for his elders weren't particularly special, but they were made of good quality material.

I bought the most popular items in Beijing right now for the two kids.

The only color I bought for her was the most vibrant.

The dresses come in various colors, including pale yellow, white with floral patterns, bright red, white, and lake blue, and all are calf-length.

The whole family changed into new clothes and came out of their room with smiles on their faces.

Grandma Li touched the clothes and praised, "These clothes are definitely not from Anping Town."

She was originally staying in the room with her husband when Li Juan woke her up to try on clothes.

The sizes of the clothes were all just right, including the two smaller ones.

Su Yan was somewhat impressed by Jiang Jingxing's ability to make visual estimations.

“Ayan, we can’t just take Xiaojiang’s clothes for nothing. We need to pay him back when he comes to town again,” Li Juan said.

These clothes are definitely not cheap; they'd cost at least several hundred yuan.

Su Yan thought for a moment, "Mom, if you talk to him about money, it will hurt our relationship. I'll ask Manager Tang for his address, make some food and send it to him. It'll be a way of returning the favor."

Before Li Juan could speak, Grandma Li said first, "That's right, Ayan is better at this than you, her mother."

Li Juan gave an awkward smile; she was afraid her mother would start scolding her.

Su Lei was overjoyed and ran up to Su Yan, shouting, "Sis, I love my new clothes! They're so comfortable and not stuffy at all!"

"How about we wear our new clothes to school for the exam tomorrow?" Su Yan pinched his little cheek.

"Huh?" Li Juan was taken aback. "What exam?"

Su Yan then realized that she had forgotten.

"I asked Manager Tang to arrange a school for Xiao Lei. He will take an exam at Anping Elementary School tomorrow morning to test his performance."

"By the way, Yu Dafei, the principal of Anping Elementary School, and Yu Dahai, who often buys our braised food, are brothers. Isn't that a coincidence?"

Li Juan was stunned. "What? You found one so quickly?"

Su Yan nodded, then looked at her grandmother and said, "When Hu Zi reaches the age to go to elementary school, I will arrange for him to attend Anping Elementary School."

Grandma Li: "With a capable older sister like you, what do I have to worry about?"

She now has complete confidence in Su Yan; this girl is truly devoted to her family.

"Sis, what if I don't do well on the exam?" Su Lei asked, lacking confidence.

He hasn't been to school for a long time.

"It's okay," Su Yan said. "The school just wants to see your grades to decide which grade you'll be in. Just do your best."

Su Lei's young face was filled with worry.

Li Juan also said, "Then wear your new clothes tomorrow and give your mother a good grade."

Su Yan: "..." That's a very kind of talk.

Everyone went to bed early tonight; when you're in a good mood, you sleep soundly.

Back in her room, Su Yan tried on each dress and found that they all fit perfectly.

However, she is not fair-skinned enough yet, and red and white make her look a bit dark. She plans to let her skin lighten for a while before wearing them.

...

The next day.

After having breakfast, Su Yan and Su Lei went to Anping Elementary School.

The security guard had already been notified and, after explaining their purpose, allowed the siblings to enter the school.

Following the directions given by the security guard, Su Yan quickly found the director's office.

After introducing himself, Yu Dafei immediately took the test paper and had Su Lei do it in his office.

Su Yan sat and waited.

Yu Dafei and Yu Dahai look quite alike; they are both round-faced, with kind eyes and a commanding presence, and seem easy to get along with.

"Miss Su, do you sell braised food at the snack street next to the school gate?" Yu Dahai suddenly asked.

Su Yan paused, then said, "Yes, does Director Yu know me?"

“I’ve never met you before.” Yu Dafei said with a smile, holding his teacup. “But my younger brother, Yu Dahai, often buys your braised food. He often mentions you at home. So when Manager Tang first contacted me, I was guessing if it was the family my brother was talking about. Now I can confirm it.”

Su Yan suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

She never expected that Yu Dahai would mention them at home.

Just when she thought the conversation was about to end, Yu Dafei suddenly asked, "Miss Su, have you ever considered collaborating with my brother's food factory?"

Su Yan was stunned upon hearing this, and for a moment she was unsure of Yu Dafei's intention in saying this.

Was he testing her to see if she had ulterior motives, or was it just a simple question?

"Don't misunderstand. To be honest, there's another reason why I agreed to let Manager Tang's brother enroll in our primary school."

Amid Su Yan's doubts, Yu Dafei slowly explained, "My brother's food factory is doing worse and worse, and it faces the risk of going bankrupt at any time this year. So I wanted to ask you if you have any plans to process the braised food you make into snacks and sell them all over the country."

"Your family's braised food is delicious. I've suggested this to him before, but he didn't know how to bring it up with you. You know, besides eating, he's not very cunning. As his older brother, I have to consider his feelings."

"But isn't the food factory a state-owned factory? How could it be..." Su Yan asked, doubting her own memory as she spoke.

The main thing is that the way Yu Dahai works so hard every day doesn't seem like someone from Alexander. "Please comment and vote, my darlings!!!!"
