"I, I..."

Seeing Chen Jianguo so excited, Zhou Yue was also very emotional. She and Zhao Hu were actually doing well. They were not very old and they kept each other company, so they were quite happy in the village.

But Chen Jianguo was different. In the first few years, he had to play the role of peacemaker. Later, he finally had two good days, but he was separated from his lover and his life was really hard. So his excitement is understandable.

"Brother Chen, don't say anything yet, take a moment to calm down before you speak."

Since they had all said that, Chen Jianguo simply let loose and started crying uncontrollably.

As soon as Xiao Yuheng got home, he felt that the atmosphere was very different today. The house was almost full of people, as lively as a vegetable market.

"Brother Ma, Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, Sister-in-law."

"My top-scoring husband is back?"

Xiao Yuheng was about to nod when she realized something was wrong. Top scholar husband? Top scholar? His wife?

"Are the results out?"

Everyone nodded in unison, "It's out! An'an got the top score in science in H Province! Our Xiao family has really produced a college student, and a top scorer at that!"

Even after several hours, Xiao's mother was no less excited than before.

Xiao Yuheng was the same. Even though there were still many people in the room, he couldn't control himself at all. He took two steps forward and hugged Gu An'an tightly, saying, "Wife, you're amazing!"

Wow~

Faced with the jeers from others, even Gu An'an, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed. "There are so many people here, let go."

"It's okay, you guys carry them, we won't watch."

If Zhao Man hadn't spread her fingers apart and had covered them more tightly, Gu An'an might have believed her nonsense.

Seeing his wife's bright red earlobes, Xiao Yuheng's heart pounded, but thinking of all the other people around, he eventually separated from her.

After letting go, he glanced at Zhao Man and then said, "Commander, Manman is not young anymore. She's at the age where she should be looking for a partner. You and your wife have to be careful in choosing her, otherwise she might be deceived by some random guy."

Zhao Man's smile froze. "Sister An'an, how could your brother-in-law do this?"

Even though Zhao Man knew Xiao Yuheng first, she still preferred to call him Sister An'an and Brother-in-law Xiao Yuheng.

Gu An'an gave Xiao Yuheng a slap on the shoulder as a courtesy, saying, "Mind your own business."

Just as Zhao Man was feeling smug, Gu An'an continued, "Fate is a mysterious thing; it might just arrive at any time."

She said it anyway, and then she glanced in Ma Jianbin's direction. Xiao Yuheng knew Gu An'an best, and following her gaze, he saw Ma Jianbin secretly looking at Zhao Man. His eyes were exactly the same as when he looked at his wife, and he immediately understood.

If Zhao Man were to ask someone outside the family, she should ask Ma Jianbin. She felt that everyone in the house would like to see the two of them together, since they were all acquaintances. Everyone knew Ma Jianbin's temperament, and now that they had both been admitted to the same city, they could take care of each other if they were together.

However, judging from Zhao Man's completely oblivious attitude and her constant agreement with her wife, it's clear that she hasn't grasped the concept or hasn't even considered it.

He looked at Ma Jianbin with sympathy. "Young man, the revolution is not yet complete. Comrades, you must continue to strive."

When this topic comes up, the mother will definitely chime in, "Xiao Xiao is right. You're leaving us to go to university now, and you'll definitely meet all sorts of people. We won't be by your side. If you can't make up your mind, just go to An'an. She definitely won't let you suffer."

"Regarding what kind of partner you'll find in the future, your father and I don't have any high requirements. We don't require the other person to have a high family background, but their character must be good and they must treat you well. Only then can we truly feel at ease, do you understand?"

Zhao Man didn't expect her mother to bring this up in front of so many people, and she was a little embarrassed. "I know, I know. Mom, if you're so worried about me, then I won't find a partner or get married. It would be so much better if I stayed with you all for the rest of my life."

"Goodbye! Staying here will only lead to enmity. You might as well marry someone else and bring trouble to another family."

The atmosphere was just right, so the families decided not to go back home. Instead, they brought back some vegetables and meat and started cooking at the Xiao family's house.

Several women worked together quickly, preparing a sumptuous meal, and the atmosphere was wonderful.

"An'an, there's a call for you."

At Aunt Zhang's call, Gu An'an went out the door. "Sister-in-law, who called me?"

"It's a call from reporter Fu."

Fu Xin? Gu An'an didn't know what Fu Xin was going to do, but she still followed.

Gu An'an had just arrived when the phone rang again.

"Congratulations to Sister An'an for winning first place and becoming the provincial champion."

Gu An'an's lips curved slightly. "How did you know?"

“I took the exam too! You said you participated last time, so of course I had to ask around for you. Who knew my sister was so amazing, she got the top score in the province right away.”

Seeing how excited she was, Gu An'an couldn't stop smiling for a long time.

How did your exam go?

"It's not bad. Although it's not as good as yours, it's enough to get me into the school I want to go to."

"Then I should congratulate you too."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fu Xin revealed the purpose of the call: "Sister An'an, I'd like to interview you. Would you be willing?"

Knowing that Gu An'an had become the top scholar in the province, Fu Xin had several drafts in mind, and even thought of several beginnings.

How should I put it? I just felt that having a sister like this was something I had to show off, and I treated it as her last job.

What's so interesting about me that I'd be a good interviewee?

"Why can't I do an interview? She's beautiful, capable, and a provincial top scorer. Any one of those titles would be enough for people to brag about for a long time. So, let's do this! I'll come with Brother Zhou tomorrow and bring some things for a meal at your place, is that alright?"

Whether it's okay or not? Gu An'an didn't really care about these things. Since this girl wanted to do an interview, then so be it.

"Whatever, come on then."

Upon receiving a positive reply, Fu Xin happily hung up the phone and excitedly went to find Zhou Ming. "Brother Zhou, Sister An'an has agreed to the interview."

"Then let's go buy some food later. Erbao loves those pastries, and meat too. I'll ask a friend to get me a few pounds tonight."

"Okay, then I'll go find them and buy some toys, storybooks, and trinkets."

The two agreed to do it immediately, and when Gu An'an met them, their hands were full of things.

"Why are you taking so much stuff again?"

"I like it. Besides, these things we bought are for our two kids. You have no right to refuse them on their behalf."

After saying that, he waved to the car and said, "Weren't you two coming? We're here, so get out of there now."

Fu Xin shouted, and the two children, a boy and a girl, slowly climbed down from the car. "Auntie, girls should be gentle."

The little boy muttered to himself as he got off the bus, and only after he had stood still did he see Gu An'an. "Wow! Auntie is even prettier than Auntie!"
