Su Xiao chatted in Director Shu's office for more than an hour before leaving. Shu Zhendong personally saw her off and watched her leave before returning to his office. He immediately made several phone calls and called Secretary Zhou over to give her a series of instructions and arrangements.
Su Xiao's tense nerves finally relaxed and a faint smile appeared on her face after she had left the machinery factory quite a distance away.
Looking back on my performance, I feel fairly satisfied.
She's done what she was supposed to do; now let's just wait for the results.
The Su family's main house has three rooms, with two side rooms on each side, forming a small courtyard. In the courtyard stands a jujube tree, its branches laden with small yellow-green flowers, adding a touch of color to the small courtyard.
There was a well under the tree, making it quite convenient for the family to use water. This made Su Xiao very satisfied.
As evening fell, the last rays of the setting sun bathed the girl in the courtyard, making her feel radiant. If it weren't for her sitting on the steps, holding a large bowl and slurping noodles with gusto, it would have been a truly beautiful scene.
Now, it's all ruined.
It's no wonder Su Xiao felt this way; as a 996 office worker, she was already used to eating like a battle.
Like the original owner of this body, she also had a shallow relationship with her parents. Her parents were in a car accident when she was in her senior year of high school. After handling her parents' funeral and receiving a considerable amount of compensation, she was busy with the college entrance examination and applied for the major that her parents had always wanted her to study, which can be considered as fulfilling their wishes.
After that, I was busy with my studies and part-time jobs, and before I knew it, I was here...
Fortunately, she had no ties in the modern world. Her grandparents and maternal grandparents all had their own difficulties. Although they felt sorry for her, they couldn't give her much, and she didn't want to trouble them. So she would visit them during holidays.
"Knock knock... Xiaoxiao, are you home?" The gate was knocked on.
Upon hearing the voice, Su Xiao immediately thought of someone, "It's here, Yanzi."
She put down her chopsticks and jogged over to open the door.
"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?" Huang Feiyan asked her cautiously, afraid of upsetting her again.
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly happy." Huang Feiyan was the original owner's classmate and good friend. The two grew up playing together in the same alley and had a very close relationship.
Looking at the curly-haired little girl in front of him, Su Xiao's heart softened a bit.
She will inherit this friendship on behalf of the original owner.
"That's good." Huang Feiyan smiled and then looked at her carefully to comfort her, "Xiaoxiao, don't be too sad. Your uncle and aunt are watching from heaven, and they would definitely want you to be alright."
Su Xiao sighed inwardly. Alas, the original owner of this body had indeed disappointed her parents.
"Yes, I will." Su Xiao smiled and looked up at the reddish sky. "Before my mother passed away, she told me to take good care of myself and help my brother get married when he comes back."
Su Xiao looked at the sky and didn't see that the little girl beside her blushed when she heard her mention her sister-in-law.
"Xiaoxiao, my mom is calling me for dinner, I'm going home now." The little girl patted her face and rushed towards the gate, then suddenly remembered something and turned back, "Oh right, the teacher asked me to ask if you can go to school next Monday? The graduation exam is next month, and you can't afford to miss your studies."
Su Xiao felt as if struck by lightning; she had completely forgotten that the original owner of this body was a high school sophomore.
Now it's 1976, and the historical background and trajectory in the book are very similar to her original world. The college entrance examination will be reinstated in a little over a year. Should she take the exam then, or...?
The sea of learning is boundless, and life goes on.
"Go!" Su Xiao gritted her teeth.
