Because of their child's exam, Guo's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law stayed at home and didn't come out, fearing what others would say.
Jianjun and Tingting brought back so many good things this time, which made them proud. Seeing their envious looks when they went out made them happy.
"Sister-in-law Guo, this scarf of yours is nice. Jianjun and the others brought it back from Xia City, right? Look at the wool, the style, it's definitely a good product."
"That's right, these shoes are new too, they're even leather shoes. What good things did Sister-in-law Guo and Jianjun bring you?"
"Oh dear, I didn't bring much, just roast duck. I heard it's a specialty of Xia City, which means it's delicious and smells amazing."
"They also brought us a lot of face cream, which is something we don't have in the city. It's so nice, I haven't been willing to use it yet."
"If you ask me, your Guo family has really gotten better. It seems that you're good at studying and will have a bright future."
"Alright, you guys keep chatting, I have to go home now, my family needs to have dinner tonight."
Seeing Guo's sister-in-law wearing new leather shoes and a beautiful scarf, everyone was filled with envy.
When Guo Ersao heard that the eldest sister-in-law was greatly envied by the villagers, she went out for a walk as well. For a while, the talk of the village was all about their family.
"Honey, let's cook a few more dishes tonight. We'll go to our beautiful home first."
"Okay, it's been a while since I've visited Meili. Our family has been so busy. From the kids' exams to starting school, we haven't had a moment to rest."
"That's about it for now. We'll need to get our Qiuqiu and Fubao enrolled in school as soon as possible, and then we'll have time to arrange the rest."
"Yes, about seven months. It's all happening now, so it can go by in a flash."
"Even now, it still feels like there's not enough time. Let's go, let's go see Meili first."
“Meili, are you home? Your sister-in-law and I have come to see you.”
“You must be Meili’s brother from her maternal family. Meili has gone to work in the field ahead. Go there and find her.”
"Thank you so much, Auntie. I'll go find the young couple right now."
After they left, the older women behind them started gossiping. After all, everyone in the surrounding villages knew that all five of their children had been admitted to Xiamen University.
Now everyone in the county knows about their family. They all regret that they should have arranged a marriage back then, but it's too late to regret it now.
"See that? That's Meili's brother from her maternal family. Now that Meili is in our village, everyone envies her."
"What's there to envy? It's not like her child got into Xia University."
"You've only been married into our village for a short time, so you don't know anything about what happened before."
"Tell me about it, I'm really curious too."
"Back then, Meili was being bullied, and her brother, the one who just led his brothers, went to avenge her."
"Then they gave her money to build a house. Back then, building a house cost a lot of money. That shows how much they valued their sister. Later, when their nephew became successful, he always thought of his aunt."
“Look at us now, Meili is so proud of her family in our village. She can hold her head high now. With such a successful family to support her, who wouldn’t respect her?”
"Yes, let's go take a look. I just saw them take quite a lot of things; they must be for Meili's family. Let's see what they have."
"Sure, I'm just killing time anyway, might as well take a stroll."
When Jianjun and Tingting arrived at the place, they saw the family of three working in the field and immediately called out, "Beautiful, beautiful."
Guo Meili turned around and saw her brother and sister-in-law. She quickly patted the dirt off her hands and walked forward with her husband and son.
"Brother, what brings you here? Did you just get back from Xia City? Didn't you get a proper rest?"
“We rested for a day and brought you a lot of things from Xia City. We saw that you were too busy, so we brought them to you. We were also afraid that the roast duck would spoil.”
“All five of our children have passed the exams. We’ve really benefited from this. Every time we go out, people in the village ask about it.”
Meili pushed her son in a wheelchair and said, "Call him uncle quickly, you've forgotten everything I taught you today."
“Uncle, Mom, I haven’t forgotten. It’s just that when you, Uncle, and Aunt are talking, I can’t get a word in edgewise.”
"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much. Now they have to go to school. Qiuqiu and Fubao have to go to school too, and the children have to start school as well."
“I understand, brother. I didn’t understand at first either, but now that the villagers see how successful our children are, they all want their children to study.”
"That's right. Even if we can't get into university, we still need to be able to read."
"When the time comes, we'll contact the child about going to school, and the child will come along too. We can't let their studies be delayed. We'll take it one step at a time."
"Thank you, Uncle," the child said happily at the mention of going to school. All the other children in the village who were about his age were talking about it, and of course he wanted to go too.
"Alright, we're heading back now. You three can come over for dinner tonight; it's been a long time since our families have been together."
"Okay, we got it, bro. We'll go back and pack up in a bit."
