The Jiang family's courtyard was very small; you could see it all in the time it took to turn around.
Li Guizhi led the two elders of the Jiang family to a nearby cemetery to visit Grandpa Qian.
Grandpa Jiang walked to the tombstone and bowed respectfully. "Grandpa Qian, I, Jiang Xingcan, have no way to repay your kindness in adopting my son. I can only express my gratitude in this small way. I hope you will not find it offensive."
The other members of the Jiang family also bowed deeply in front of Old Master Qian's tombstone to express their gratitude.
Back home, Jiang Xiaoli poked Zong Jiayu's waist and asked, "What do you think my grandfather meant by 'a token of our appreciation'? Grandpa Qian is an old man living alone, he doesn't even have any distant relatives, and our family is his closest relative."
Zong Jiayu held her hand and said, "Why guess? We'll find out when the time comes."
They never expected that Grandpa Jiang's simple gesture of expressing his feelings would be taken to such an elaborate degree.
The next day, on their way to the hotel, Jiang Xiaoli and the other two heard a radio report.
"If everyone gives a little love, the world will surely become a better place. The Lost Children Project of the Municipal Charity Foundation received a donation of 10 million yuan from Mr. Qian Jin. We sincerely thank this kind-hearted person with boundless love!"
Jiang Xiaoli and Li Guizhi exchanged a glance. "Grandpa's donation was both decisive and forceful!"
Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Xiaoli inquired about the donation from her grandfather.
Grandpa Jiang sighed, "I have no way to repay Grandpa Qian's great kindness, so I can only rebuild his tomb and seek some posthumous fame for him."
Jiang Xiaoli comforted him, "Grandpa, this is already very good. Grandpa Qian didn't want anything in return when he adopted Dad."
Grandpa Jiang nodded, "Yes, it is precisely because there is no ulterior motive that this kindness seems so profound."
...
After staying in Xijing for four days, the Jiang family returned to Kyoto.
For the past few days, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang have been trying to persuade Jiang Xiaoli and her daughter to go back to Great Britain with them.
Grandpa Jiang wanted to invite many guests to his Jiang family mansion in Chongqing and introduce his wife and daughter to all his relatives and friends.
Jiang Xiaoli didn't care, but Li Guizhi was very nervous and wouldn't budge.
During dinner tonight, Grandma Jiang brought up the topic of going to Great Britain again.
Back at "Heyuan" that evening, Li Guizhi leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples. "If only I had learned English with your Aunt Xu back then. My current level is only good enough to greet people. If I really went to Chongqing, I wouldn't understand anything they were saying."
Jiang Xiaoli took her arm and said, "Mom, learning a language is something that progresses very quickly if you have a language environment. But it's still up to you to decide. If you really don't want to go, then we won't go!"
Li Guizhi took out "500 Commonly Used English Sentences" again and started reading.
These past two days, she's been insisting that everyone who comes to her house communicate in English, which has made Dafu and Zhongyuan afraid to come over for meals.
A few days later, Grandma Jiang learned that Jiang Xiaoli would be starting a military training program lasting more than 20 days in mid-August. She took her two daughters-in-law, Qiao Xing'er and Wang Min, to "Guizhi Restaurant" for an afternoon chat.
In the end, Li Guizhi nodded.
Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jiayu's household registrations were transferred to Kyoto when they went to school, so they could apply for passports there. However, Li Guizhi's household registrations were still in Xijing. When she returned to Xijing, she took Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu with her to apply for passports.
When Jiang Xiaoli called, she kept praising, "Mother is so wise! Xiaoyu's college entrance exam results will be out tomorrow. If she gets in, invite Aunt Xu and Xiaoyu to come to Great Britain with us!"
Heaven will not let down those who work hard. On July 25th, the results of this year's college entrance examination in Qin Province were released.
With a score of 667, Xiao Muyu squeezed into the last two places that Peking Union Medical College was recruiting in Qin Province.
Jiang Xiaoli's phone kept ringing all day, all from former classmates who had achieved good results in the college entrance examination.
The summary of key and difficult points and question types for the college entrance examination that she compiled for Xiao Muyu was of great help to them.
Jiang Xiaoli's former classmate, Xie Yitao, even said that he would definitely treat her to a big meal when he went to university in Kyoto.
Even after she finished her work at the company and had dinner with her grandparents that evening, the phone calls thanking her kept coming in.
Grandma Jiang looked at her with loving eyes and said to Grandpa Jiang, "Look at how popular our little pear is! Just like you were when you were young!"
Grandpa Jiang smiled and agreed, "Yes, Xiao Li is born to do business!"
Jiang Chengle joked on the side, "Grandpa, you used to say the same thing to me!"
Grandpa Jiang coughed twice. "Ah Le, why are you still competing with your sister for attention?"
Qiao Xing'er glanced at her son's aggrieved look, hugged the little boy, and said, "Ah Xue, we must never be like our brother, okay?"
Jiang Qingxue nodded solemnly, "Yes! I won't be like my brother!"
"Hahaha!"
After spending some time with the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaoli felt more and more that the Jiang family was really different from the large family she had imagined.
The family members here have a clear division of labor and there is no so-called fighting. They get along much more harmoniously than ordinary families.
This gave her even more confidence in her trip to Great Britain.
Jiang Xiaoli and the others had their passports and visas expedited, and received them around the same time as Xiao Muyu's acceptance letter.
Urged on by her, Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu hurriedly packed some things and rushed to Kyoto.
Kyoto Airport.
The moment Jiang Xiaoli saw Xiao Muyu, she rushed over and gave her a hug, then presented her with the large bouquet of lilies that Zong Jiayu was holding.
"Xiaoyu, I knew your wish would come true. I wish the future medical genius would have miraculous healing skills and all the best!"
Xiao Muyu hugged the flowers, overjoyed. "Xiao Li, thank you so much."
Jiang Xiaoli put her hand on her shoulder. "Hey, do you need to say this to me?"
The two mothers watched with smiles as the two girls hugged each other. Li Guizhi said, "Xiaoyu, congratulations on your good results. You've achieved your goal."
"Thank you, Auntie. I will work even harder in the future," Xiao Muyu replied shyly.
Jiang Xiaoli took her arm and walked towards the parking lot. "Alright, let's stop bragging here and go home early to discuss our trip to Great Britain."
Xu Feng became interested upon hearing this, "Sister-in-law, is it really appropriate for Xiaoyu and me to go with you?"
Li Guizhi held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry! It's suitable! My in-laws even want us to invite a few more friends along!"
Xu Feng was finally relieved. "Sister-in-law, your in-laws are really open-minded. Don't you think that when you're rich enough, there aren't many conflicts in the family?"
Li Guizhi waved her hand, "I've recently heard my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law talk a lot about what's going on in that family. With so many members in such a large family, how could there not be some infighting? It's just that my parents-in-law are quite fair, and Xiaoli's father's three brothers are also very capable, which has reduced a lot of worries."
