Jiang Ning quickly pressed Wang Minghua's hand and said, "Uncle Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't charge you."
Wang Minghua pushed the money aside and said, "Xiao Jiang, just listen to me and take it. You're out of work now, and you'll have two more college students in your family. No, I heard from Director Liu that you also have a younger sister who's been admitted to university, right? The tuition and expenses for the three of us will be very high. This little money may not be much, but it's our token of our appreciation."
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I've saved all the money I earned from working over the past year. Besides, Chen Yan and my sister have also earned some money on their own. We have money to go to school, so you don't have to worry about us, Uncle Wang. I can't take this money. Besides, you're also in a difficult situation, and now you're raising money for me. I feel embarrassed."
"Why should you be embarrassed? This is all given to you voluntarily. We all hope that you will study hard and live up to everyone's expectations. This is all from our heart."
Jiang Ning declined, "No, I can't take this money. It's not easy for everyone to earn money, I appreciate the kindness."
Uncle Wang sighed, "Why are you so stubborn? If you don't accept the money, remember to look for Uncle Wang if you have any difficulties in the future. Uncle Wang will definitely help you if he can."
Jiang Ning nodded, "I understand, Uncle Wang."
There was no way, Jiang Ning did not accept the money, and Wang Minghua had to take it.
Jiang Ning and Wang Minghua chatted for a while before going home.
When Jiang Ning and Chen Yan returned home, she found that her grandparents, uncle, aunt and sister-in-law had all come from the countryside.
"Grandpa and grandma, why are you here?"
Father Jiang smiled and said, "Since you, my little sister, and Chen Yan all did so well in the exam, we had to come and see you. We only found out about this when your eldest brother sent us a telegram, so we packed our things overnight and took the first bus here."
Grandma also continued, "Yes, Ning girl, you guys did really well in the exam. We were so happy that we couldn't sleep all night yesterday, and we are all still very energetic now."
"This is all thanks to your father and mother who taught you so attentively, allowing you to learn more knowledge."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I know. It's all thanks to my parents. If they hadn't given us three hours of review every night, the three of us might not have passed the exam."
Uncle Zhou said, "You can't rely on us for this. At most, we can help you with some basic knowledge. Learning is still up to you. This is all your own achievement, how can it be all ours?"
Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh as he watched them flatter each other. "Alright, everyone, stop refusing. Half of the credit for this military medal goes to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Pei, and half goes to us."
Aunt Pei also said, "Yes, yes, Chen Yan is right. That's what I meant. Thank you all for your hard work."
"Okay, okay, everyone take a break, and then we'll go out and celebrate."
Jiang Jianguo rubbed his head and said, "Aunt Pei, didn't we celebrate last night? Why are we celebrating again today?"
Jiang Weimin smiled and said, "Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom are all here, let's have some fun together."
"But Aunt Pei, you don't have to pay for the meal today. Logically, it's our treat today."
Jiang Ning said, "Second brother, you're so unfamiliar now. We're all family, why differentiate between you and us?"
Uncle Zhou and Aunt Pei said in unison: "That's right!"
Jiang Weimin was anxious: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Pei, that's not what I meant. Hey, Ning girl, you knew that wasn't what I meant, but you had to distort it like this."
Jiang Ning made a face at him: "But," she paused: "If Second Brother insists on treating me, I agree."
Everyone laughed and said, "You girl."
Jiang Weimin shook his head: "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you, so I'll treat you, okay?"
Jiang Jianguo, who had been silent for a long time, also said, "Wei Min, I can't let you treat them all by yourself. They are all my brothers and sisters. Let me treat them to a good meal. Besides, as your brother, I have been here for so long, and you have always taken care of me. Let me take care of you today too."
Jiang Xiaomei said with a smile: "Brother, do you have money? Don't you save all your monthly salary for your sister-in-law? Could it be private money?"
Jiang Jianguo glanced at Liu Zhaodi and said, "Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister-in-law still lets me keep some money for my own use every month. Don't worry, I can still afford your meal."
Jiang Xiaomei pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Okay, okay, now that big brother said so, I feel relieved."
Everyone laughed when they saw the little sister's expression.
My aunt joked, "Alright, alright, you two siblings are really something. You have no manners at all."
Jiang Weimin continued, "By the way, Ning girl, you and Chen Yan were both in the newspapers, why didn't you say anything? If Uncle Zhou hadn't seen it today, we wouldn't have known."
"Didn't my younger sister tell you? I thought she told you yesterday."
"No, my little sister told us yesterday that you did very well in the exam."
Jiang Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Didn't I say that? I thought I did, but there were so many happy things yesterday that I probably forgot."
My aunt laughed and said, "You are such a careless girl. You can forget such a big thing. This is a matter of honor for our family. How can you forget it?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Alright, alright, aunt, stop talking about my younger sister. Let's pack up and go eat quickly. I'm hungry. If we're late, there won't be any food to eat."
"Okay, let's go."
The group went outside to have another meal and then went home.
By the time Jiang Jianguo went to pay the bill, Chen Yan had already paid it.
Jiang Jianguo looked at Chen Yan: "How can I let you pay the bill?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, big brother. I just want to thank you. If you hadn't saved me and taken me in, I wouldn't know where I'd be wandering right now! How would I have the chance to study and get into a big university? Just consider this as my way of thanking you. Don't refuse me."
Jiang Jianguo was still mumbling, "Is that okay? I should be the one doing this."
Jiang Ning on the side smiled and said, "It's okay, big brother. This is also a kind gesture from Chen Yan. Since he paid the bill, it's fine. Are you still worried that you can't treat me? Next time we go out to eat, it's your turn to treat me, okay?"
Jiang Xiaomei also laughed and said, "Yeah, yeah. Big brother will come for the next meal. He can't run away anyway."
Everyone laughed, "Exactly, Jianguo, you're worried you can't entertain the guests."
