Chapter 333
"My Qiangzi received his acceptance letter and is now a university student! Your Yuecai still only has a junior high school diploma. Luckily, he got married early. If he had waited a few years, even a fool would know who would be more popular, a university student or a junior high school student."
"My Qiangzi not only got into university, but also several of the students he mentored did so. They are all very grateful to him. It seems that my Qiangzi is very capable."
"This driver may seem popular now, but no matter how popular he is, he can never be as popular as college students!"
"Actually, I don't care whether Qiangzi passed the exam or not. At least he bravely tried. Unlike your Yue Cai, who didn't even dare to try. But your Yue Cai is also a smart man. He knows his own strengths and weaknesses. He didn't even take the exam because there was no need to."
Aunt Qian's rapid-fire boasting left Aunt Yue speechless and she could only stare blankly and sullenly.
This made Aunt Qian even happier, and she let out a good sigh of relief.
The notice has arrived, and everyone can have a good New Year.
On New Year's Eve, the Shen family was particularly lively and festive, not only because the Shen family had two college students at once, but also because Ye Fuyue gave birth to Qiqi safely, adding another member to the Shen family.
Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng prepared the New Year's Eve dinner together. There were ten dishes, including meat, fish and chicken, which was quite sumptuous.
Since not many people were drinking, everyone just drank some drinks together.
"Let's toast this glass to Fu Yue first. She did so well in the exam even when she was pregnant with Qiqi. She became the top scorer in our province. Qiqi was also born safely. She is a great contributor to our family!" Chen Guifeng said, raising her glass.
Haohao and Ranran followed suit and praised.
Haohao: "Mom is awesome!"
Ranran: "Mom is the real hero!"
Ye Fuyue accepted it generously, and everyone clinked glasses and drank drinks together.
Chen Guifeng filled her cup and raised it again, saying, "This cup is for Chen Kang. Chen Kang did very well in the exam, and he won't be able to stay at home for long after the New Year. He will be heading south."
When Chen Guifeng said this, her voice was choked.
Seeing this, Chen Kang put his arm around Chen Guifeng's shoulders and said soothingly, "Mom, I'm going to the south to study, not to the countryside like before. I will come back to see you often."
Chen Guifeng nodded, swallowing back the tears that were about to burst out: "Well, it's a happy event that you got into university, let's drink this cup together."
After saying this, Chen Guifeng drank most of the drink in her cup. Everyone followed her example and drank most of theirs as well.
After finishing her drink, Ye Fuyue didn't sit down. Instead, she raised her glass to Chen Guifeng and said, "Mom, I want to toast you too. Last year, I was able to prepare for the exam and do what I wanted to do because you took care of Haohao and Ranran and took care of all the household affairs, so I didn't have to worry about anything. It was the same with my confinement. You took care of everything so I could rest assured."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao also stood up and raised his glass to Chen Guifeng and said, "Yes, Mom, Fu Yue and I should toast you."
Chen Guifeng was deeply touched, but said, "Why are you treating me like this? I'm helping you babysit, and it's not like you haven't paid me. Before, when it was just Haohao and Ranran, you gave me seven dollars a month. Now that you have Qiqi, you give me three more. Even if I'm being paid, I still have to take good care of you."
"If we use this money to find someone outside to look after the children, that person will definitely not be as attentive as you. You take good care of us not because of the money, but because we are your family. Of course we have to respect you." Ye Fuyue said seriously.
Chen Guifeng felt sweet inside: "You are such a good talker, kid. Okay, let's have a toast."
Chen Guifeng was never afraid of suffering for the sake of her family; she was afraid that even after suffering, no one would think highly of her. Ye Fuyue's consideration for her truly made her happy and touched.
Chen Guifeng clinked glasses with Shen Shun again. "Mom doesn't have any other expectations for you. I just hope you study hard and go to a good university like your sister-in-law and elder brother."
Shen Shun scratched his ears: "Mom, you have said this so many times, my ears are almost calloused."
Chen Guifeng snorted coldly: "What's the point of growing calluses? You have to listen carefully."
"I listened to you, I listened to you. Otherwise, with my previous grades, there was no way I could get into high school." Shen Shun said mischievously.
Chen Guifeng feigned anger: "You were able to get into high school purely out of luck. Don't expect to be so lucky when you get into college!"
"I know, I will study hard." Shen Shun said obediently.
Chen Guifeng's complexion finally looked better.
The two little guys, Haohao and Ranran, became anxious.
"Grandma, grandma, you haven't clinked glasses with us yet." Haohao said.
Chen Guifeng smiled brightly and clinked her cups with Haohao and Ranran respectively. "Grandma wishes Haohao and Ranran good health and hope they grow up well."
"Grandma is in good health too." Ranran said.
Haohao said: "Grandma, may you live a long life."
"Oh, he can even say the word 'live a long life'. Grandma's little grandson is so smart." Chen Guifeng's face was flushed with joy.
Ranran whispered to Haohao: "Brother, you said everything you need to know about the red envelope tomorrow!"
Haohao pouted in frustration and muttered softly, "I'll ask Dad to learn a few more auspicious words later."
Ranran nodded in agreement.
Chen Guifeng heard what the two little ones said, but she smiled and pretended not to hear.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Haohao and Ranran couldn’t sit still anymore.
The two urged Shen Shun: “Uncle, uncle, you said you would take us to buy firecrackers!”
Shen Shun quickly ate the last few pieces of meat, wiped his mouth, and said to the two little guys: "Let's go!"
Haohao and Ranran excitedly followed Chen Shun.
"Chen Shun, keep a close eye on Haohao and Ranran. Don't let them play with anything too dangerous." Ye Fuyue warned worriedly.
"I know, sister-in-law."
Chen Shun took Haohao and Ranran out and went to find Fan Hua first. Then the four of them went to buy firecrackers and set them off together.
"During the New Year's Eve dinner, my mom kept telling me to study hard. I was getting annoyed." Fan Hua said a little depressedly, "My mom also said that your family suddenly had two college graduates, and your sister-in-law even got the provincial top scorer. She told me and you to learn from your sister-in-law and your eldest brother."
"My mom is still nagging about this. I just listen to what she says." Shen Shun said, "Let's not talk about it. It's New Year's Day, it's so annoying! Let's talk about studying after the New Year."
Fan Hua nodded and became happy.
The children here were setting off firecrackers, and over there, the Shen family, Ye Fuyue and a few others were sitting together, eating melon seeds, chatting and listening to the radio.
