Grandpa's savings account had a balance of 2,000 yuan.
This must be the old man's life savings.
"This money is a fixed deposit, and it will mature at the end of this month, at which time you can withdraw it and use it."
"Grandpa, this is too much money, we really can't accept it."
Lu Rongde's face hardened. "I told you to take it, so take it."
Jiang Xuan had no choice but to take it with both hands and put it in her pocket.
Luckily, she wore a cardigan over her skirt today, otherwise the bankbook would have been too obvious.
However, she had already decided that this was money her grandfather had worked hard to save, and she wouldn't spend it unless absolutely necessary.
"Alright, I'm all done here. There should still be a lot to tidy up in the tenement, so go ahead and get busy."
Lu Rongde brewed himself some tea. "I'm going out to play chess now."
Jiang Xuan nodded, "Grandpa, please take your time. It's still early. I'll go help my little sister catch up on her lessons for a while."

In the side room.
Lu Xiaomei is looking through her physics textbooks for grades 10 and 11.
I didn't study seriously before, and I just threw my books around everywhere, one here and one there. Now it's quite a hassle to find them.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the blankets and pillows on the bed and asked in a low voice, "He didn't ask you to move them again, did he?"
"No, Wang Yingqiu asked Lu Tingting to move to Diandian and Fanxing's room, but she seemed unwilling. Anyway, she hasn't moved yet. Sister Xuanxuan, this is the math table of contents I copied."
Jiang Xuan took the notebook and read it carefully.
It seems that the textbooks used in Ningzhou are the same as those in Qinshui, and she is quite familiar with these knowledge points.
"Little sister, don't look for it yet. Let me tell you about our math study plan first."
"Okay." Lu Xiaomei stood up.
“Let’s start with numbers and expressions,” Jiang Xuan said, pointing to the first item on the first-year high school curriculum. “This is the foundation of high school mathematics. My idea is that we should first review the basic operations and formulas in algebra, including factorization, polynomial and fraction operations.”
"You should review your textbook carefully tonight and memorize all the arithmetic rules and formulas for this part."
Lu Xiaomei yawned.
Jiang Xuan glanced at her, a little serious, "Little sister, if you want to improve your grades, you first need to have the determination yourself, otherwise no one can help you."
"I can help you make a plan to make your efforts more efficient, but the actual execution is up to you."
Lu Xiaomei nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Xuanxuan, I will definitely study hard."
Then, Jiang Xuan pointed to the derivative and its applications in the second-year high school curriculum, saying, "This knowledge point is a key point in the second year of high school and also a difficult point in the college entrance examination."
"My plan is that we will introduce the concept and basic operations of derivatives after reviewing functions and sequences, and then gradually transition to the application of derivatives in studying the monotonicity, extrema, maximum and minimum values of functions."
Give me a pen.
Jiang Xuan took the pen and marked some key points, saying, "These key points are all connected."
"For example, look at functions and equations, solving complex equation problems—aren't these all the same knowledge points? And this, the general term formula of a sequence, solving summation problems, and so on."
"The reason I asked you to make a table of contents is to help you identify the connections between the knowledge points and to help you develop a systematic way of thinking."
Lu Xiaomei was stunned.
She never imagined that Jiang Xuan would be so amazing.
With just a few simple pages of table of contents, she managed to connect all the key points.
It seems like such difficult knowledge is a piece of cake for her.
She admired her even more.
"Hyun-hyung, how are you so amazing?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "Because I've studied it. As long as you do as I say, you'll be just as good."
"From now on, we will review two knowledge points every day, starting with basic numbers and expressions, then gradually moving on to functions and inequalities, then geometry and probability, and finally sequences and derivatives."
“Every week I will give you questions based on the knowledge points, conduct tests and summaries to consolidate what you have learned.”
"Keep it up, little sister! You'll definitely improve your math scores soon."
"Okay, I'll listen to HyunHyun."
"I'll be going now. There's nothing in that tenement. I heard there's a bus to the market today, so I need to hurry and buy something."
"Today, just do as I say and memorize all the formulas. Then, it would be best to look at the example problems yourself. Also, finish reviewing the physics, chemistry, and biology textbooks as soon as possible."
"Okay, Hyun-hyung, do you need my help? I can help you move things during the day, and I can still catch up on my studies at night."
Jiang Xuan thought about it and realized that she might not be able to finish it all by herself, especially when it came to decorating Fanxing's house, which involved wallpapering the walls.
It would be good to ask my younger sister for help.
She nodded. "Okay, let's go together then. Thank you for your hard work, little sister."
"It's not hard work. Oh, right, I just realized last night that I forgot to buy you shampoo. I've already bought it."
Lu Xiaomei picked up a bottle of shampoo from the table, then some magazines and comic books. "I won't be reading these for now, you can take them and read them."
"good."
Lu Xiaomei saw Jiang Xuan off at the door, where the two encountered two young soldiers in military uniforms.
A cart was parked at the entrance, with two hemp ropes on it.
The young soldiers saluted, and the one standing in front said, "Platoon Leader Lu asked us to come and move some furniture. He said it's two sets of children's desks and a wardrobe."
Jiang Xuan turned to Lu Xiaomei and said, "Your brother and I plan to move Dian Dian and Fan Xing's desks, chairs, and wardrobes over, so we won't buy duplicates."
Lu Xiaomei nodded, "Yes, that's fine. They only bought the table after they moved here, just over a month ago. If it weren't for Dian Dian's naughty scribbling, it would look brand new."
Lu Xiaomei said to the soldiers, "Come in and move in, this is the room."
"By the way, sister-in-law, don't you like to make your own clothes? If you don't mind, you can bring my mom's sewing machine over to use."
Jiang Xuan quickly said, "No, that's Auntie's dowry, how can I take it?"
"It's no use for us here anyway, and I don't know how to do it. You can take it, or rather, let these two comrades help move it over."
"Little sister, thank you, but I won't take the sewing machine this time. I'll ask your brother about it later."
"No need to ask anymore." Lu Rongde came out of the main room carrying tea. "Ayun's things are fine with you to use, so you can move them over there."
Since Grandpa had said so, Jiang Xuan agreed.
She was indeed planning to buy a sewing machine, so now she wouldn't have to spend any more money.
Just as they were carefully placing the two desks on the cart, Wang Yingqiu came over carrying a vegetable basket, her belly protruding.
They ran into Lu Rongde, who was just about to leave.
"Dad, are we going out?"
"Um."
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The young soldier saluted and replied, "Platoon Leader Lu arranged for us to come and move some furniture."
