Miao Xianghua rolled his eyes at him. "What do you know?! Your little sister has been smart since she was young! She only went to junior high school because she wasn't allowed to go to high school back then! Schools were closed, so where was she going to go to high school?"
In fact, Jiang Manyue originally dropped out of school because she couldn't continue studying, but Miao Xianghua quickly found a reason for her. It was not her problem that she didn't go to high school, but because the high school was suspended!
Jiang Jiantao also believed this statement. His younger sister must be capable, otherwise how could she be admitted to Beijing University.
"Mom, I never thought my little sister is so capable. She's good at business and studying. If one of our children could be as capable as my little sister, our family would be very successful in the future."
Miao Xianghua snorted softly, "Do you think everyone can be like my daughter, so good at everything? Our little ones will be lucky enough to go to college in the future. How can you expect him to get into such a good university?"
Jiang Jiantao thought about the academic performance of his nephews who were currently in school and could only scratch his head helplessly.
I probably can’t rely on these kids for their studies, but fortunately there are many children in the family, and some of them are not yet in school, so there is still some hope.
Miao Xianghua carefully put the telegram away and wrote a reply letter to Jiang Manyue, asking Jiang Jiantao to take it to the county town and mail it out tomorrow.
Jiang Jiantao agreed, put the letter away, and went out to brag to others.
His sister was admitted to Jingshi University, so shouldn't he brag about it to his brothers?
The Jiang family, with more than 20 people in total, except for the two little ones who could not understand what was said, all heard the news that Jiang Manyue was admitted to Jingshi University from Miao Xianghua while they were having dinner.
Jiang Changfu's first reaction after hearing this was to scratch his ears. "What are you talking about, old woman? Man Yue got into Jing City University? Are you dreaming?"
Miao Xianghua rolled his eyes and said, "I knew you couldn't come up with something you could say. This telegram was sent to me personally by Guifen. How could she tell me such nonsense?"
Jiang Changfu's mouth dropped open. "My mother-in-law sent me a telegram? Why does it feel so unreal? Man Yue didn't even finish junior high school, how did she suddenly get into university?"
Others also expressed their disbelief, especially Jiang Jianliang, the eldest brother of the Jiang family. He still remembered Jiang Manyue's academic performance in school.
At that time, when Jiang Manyue's school held parent-teacher meetings, Jiang Jianliang usually went on behalf of his parents. Every time he received the report card, he felt as if his eyes went dark.
Jiang Manyue's grades were at the bottom of her class. It would be difficult for her to even get into high school, let alone college.
It was because her academic performance was really poor and Jiang Manyue didn't like studying. When the school became chaotic, she just stopped going to school.
I didn't expect that after so many years, she suddenly became a college student. It's simply unbelievable.
"What do you know? Man Yue was still young at the time. Didn't she love to study later? When educated youth came to our team, Man Yue went to learn from them."
Miao Xianghua was determined to protect her daughter's image. In her opinion, her daughter was perfect in every way. Even if her academic performance was not good at that time, it was because the school did not teach well.
"Oh, no matter what, my little sister got into university. She's the first one in our family to get a university degree, and it's a top-notch university in Beijing. If we spread this out, won't the whole village be envious?"
Miao Xianghua slammed the table and made the decision, "When Man Yue and the others come back for the New Year, we'll have a party and treat everyone! Invite everyone to come and have some fun, to celebrate Man Yue getting into college!"
The whole family had no objection. We were going to have a pig-killing banquet during the Chinese New Year anyway, so if we could have it together, we could just do it.
This year, the Jiang family raised four fat pigs and a large flock of chickens. They will definitely not be short of meat, and they can pick vegetables from their own plots, so there is no pressure to entertain guests.
Besides, if there is a happy event at home and they want to invite the neighbors to drink, they will have to bring some gifts, so their family will not lose out.

Before the New Year, Jiang Manyue packed up her things and returned to her hometown with her family.
The Jiang family had already made preparations and was just waiting for them to come back so that the wedding banquet could be set up.
When they got off the train and took a cart into the brigade, people from almost every household came out to watch.
"Ah! Isn't this a full moon? I'm a college student!"
"The first college student in our brigade is back!"
"Man Yue, can you tell us how you got into university? Let the children learn from you so that they can be as successful as you in the future."
"Yes, Man Yue, can you tell us how to get into Jing City University?"
The team members gathered around the cart, talking in a flurry.
Jiang Manyue had no choice but to put on a standard smile and said, "There's no secret. Just study hard and seriously. If you don't understand something, ask until you understand it."
The team members quickly took note and prepared to educate their own children when they returned, telling them to study hard so that they could get into a good university, find a good job, and become successful city dwellers.
The team members surrounded them all the way to the Lu family's door. When the family got out of the car, the team members were reluctant to leave.
"Oh, this is your third child, right? He's so handsome, and looks just like you, like they were cut from the same mold!"
"This child looks like a city kid. He's fair-skinned and chubby. He's been well-fed!"
"You have to live in the city. It's different from raising children in the countryside!"
The team members gathered around Xiao Si'er in Li Guifen's arms and started talking again, but they were all praising his good looks. Li Guifen didn't seem impatient at all and smiled more happily than anyone else.
"Aunts and sisters, we have to go to my mother's house for dinner, so I won't let you stay any longer. Didn't my mother say she would treat us? You must come when the time comes, and bring the children too, so we can have fun together."
This is an order to expel them, but the team members don't care. The Jiang family has prepared the banquet anyway, and they can take their children to ask Jiang Manyue for advice on their homework and let her, a college student, teach their children.
The team members said goodbye one after another. Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin put down their luggage, and then went to Jiang's house with Li Guifen and the children.
Miao Xianghua had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Manyue and the others coming, he happily ran to them.
"Come and see mom, has your college student lost weight? Studying is hard, right? Come back and mom will give you a good nourishment. I'll kill chicken for you every day."
Miao Xianghua felt that Jiang Manyue was thinner than when she was pregnant during the Chinese New Year last year. He felt so distressed that he immediately decided to feed Jiang Manyue a chicken a day and make sure she got fat.
Jiang Manyue couldn't stand Miao Xianghua's attitude of wanting to feed her like a pig, so she quickly changed the subject and turned sideways to reveal Xiao Si'er in Li Guifen's arms.
"Mom, look, your little grandson, does he look like me?"
