"Master!" Su Xingran's voice was filled with excitement. She had heard her master's voice in the courtyard just now, and she still couldn't quite believe it. She ran into the house and saw her master sitting there chatting with her parents.
"Xingran's out of school! Come over here and let your master see if you've lost weight." Doctor Huang looked at Su Xingran with a smile.
Su Xingran walked quickly to her master. "Master, when did you get back?"
"Master arrived around 2 PM. Your Uncle Duan went home to pack his things. I just came over to check if you've finished school yet. Xingran, are you too tired? You've lost weight."
When Su Xingran heard her master say that she had lost weight, she touched her chin. She had indeed lost some weight recently, but she had grown taller. She had measured her height and was now 1.68 meters.
"Master, it might be because I've grown taller that you think I've lost weight. Master, I have my exam in a week."
Doctor Huang also noticed that Su Xingran had grown taller and looked much thinner. "Master knows you have your exam in a week, so he came back especially to see you take it."
Duan Yuming came to the Su family's house for dinner that evening, and he brought the things he had brought from Beijing to Su Xingran's house.
"These things were prepared by Taihe and Taizhou, and their wives, to bring back to you," Doctor Huang said, pointing to the bags Duan Yuming had placed beside him.
"This...you've prepared way too much. It's going to cost them a lot of money!" Su's mother looked at the several large bags of things with some worry, as this would cost a lot of money.
Dr. Huang waved his hand, "It's alright, it won't cost much, it's just food and supplies. Xingran has exams coming up soon, she needs to eat nutritious food and get plenty of rest."
Su Xingran was genuinely happy that her master had returned before her exams. It felt wonderful to be cherished by someone other than her parents.
A week passed quickly, and the day of the college entrance examination arrived. The college entrance examination was held over three days, and for convenience, Su Xingran stayed at Huang Tai'an's house for those three days.
On the day of the exam, Huang Tai'an's wife, Guan Xiaoyan, got up early to make breakfast. She had seen Su Xingran several times and knew that this girl was the apple of her husband's uncle's eye.
Furthermore, Su Xingran was an outstanding and virtuous girl, so Guan Xiaoyan genuinely liked her. When her husband mentioned that Su Xingran would be staying at their home for the three days of the college entrance exam, she proactively took care of Su Xingran's meals.
When Su Xingran got up, she found that breakfast was already laid out on the table. She had originally planned to go out and buy a few steamed buns for breakfast.
"Xingran, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and finish washing up and come have breakfast. After breakfast, your aunt will take you to school for your exam."
Guan Xiaoyan saw Su Xingran standing there in a daze and quickly called out to her. It would be troublesome if she was late today.
Startled awake by Guan Xiaoyan's voice, Su Xingran quickly responded, "Aunt Guan, I'll be right there. Please have breakfast first."
After washing up, Su Xingran sat on the stool next to the dining table. Looking at the breakfast prepared by Aunt Guan, she seemed to see her own mother.
Breakfast consisted of two eggs dyed red, a fried dough stick, millet porridge, and steamed buns.
"Xingran, this is breakfast prepared by your aunt. The fried dough sticks and steamed buns were bought by your aunt outside, and the eggs and millet porridge were cooked by your aunt. You can eat the fried dough sticks and eggs first. Your aunt wishes you good luck in your exam and that you will become the top scholar."
