Everyone in the Song family, young or old, was smiling from ear to ear, wishing they could praise Song Chu to the sky.
On the other side, the elders of the Tang family also immediately stepped forward and rushed to praise Song Chu.
"I heard that our ancestor also had a top scholar. Chuchu really deserves to be a member of our Tang family." An elder said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Tang Feng immediately responded, "Of course not. My Chuchu is most like me. With the genes of our Tang family, she is very smart and capable."
If it were any other time, these clan elders would probably be very upset. Besides being tigresses, they didn't see that Song Chu looked like Tang Fenglai.
It's just that her previous image of being aggressive and lazy was too deeply rooted in people's minds.
But now I especially agree with her next sentence, "Yes, Chuchu looks like you, and has the genes of our Tang family."
Although they don’t know what genes are, they just think they look like people from their Tang family.
When the ancestors of the Tang family knew about this, they would definitely be very happy, because he is the top scholar in the country. They will have to go to the mountain to worship him tomorrow.
Hearing their words, the elders of the Song family were unhappy. What do they mean by being smart and capable because of the genes of the Tang family? Chuchu clearly has the genes of their Song family.
Then they started to argue with each other, and several elders seemed to be ten years younger and started to argue with each other vigorously.
Of course, this is also because they are too happy. Normally, the families of the two major surnames are still very united.
Now it seems like they are trying to determine who is better, but in fact it is also a way to liven up the atmosphere and show joy.
Finally, they all asked Song Chu what he thought.
Song Chu smiled and said, "My father is from the Song family, and my mother is from the Tang family. Naturally, I have genes from both families, so I am so smart and capable."
As expected, these words immediately made the two old men who were still arguing smile, "Yes, yes, we both have the same genes."
The other people with different surnames all showed envious eyes.
What followed was another round of praise from all directions. The look in her eyes made her seem like she was omnipotent, which really brought honor to their village.
Song Chu responded politely to the enthusiastic praise from his fellow villagers.
Then he was escorted home by a group of people, and everyone squeezed in, just wanting to get more of the top spot.
In the distance, Fang Yuelan stood under a big tree, looking at Song Chu who was surrounded by people and entered the house. The discomfort and jealousy in her heart were like ants biting her.
But she had no way to change. Since being sent to the farm for reform, she had suffered more in more than a year than in the nearly twenty years of her life combined.
She also knew that it was impossible for her to take revenge. Song Chu was no longer the fool who allowed herself to be instigated and used by her. Apart from jealousy, envy and hatred, there was only endless regret.
She should not have targeted Song Chu in the first place, otherwise she would not have been sent to reform. After finally returning home due to the policy, she was not welcomed at all in the village and was often ridiculed.
Her brother and sister-in-law at home were also extremely cold to her, as if they wished she had not come back.
She and Song Chu are completely different now. Song Chu got the man she likes and achieved what she couldn't even dream of. No matter how much she hates him, she can only keep it in her heart and is powerless to change it.
This feeling is too uncomfortable, but I can only watch and envy...
Song Chu was surrounded by everyone and went into the house, where he sat down and chatted with everyone.
Everyone saw that she was still as approachable as before after she passed the imperial examination, unlike some people who become arrogant after they become successful. Their liking for her deepened a little.
Everyone was quite tactful and left after sitting at the Song family for a while, talking to each other and praising Song Chu along the way.
After the villagers left, Song Chu's two uncles and their three uncles' families all came to congratulate him.
In addition to praising Song Chu without paying any money, he also praised Song Youfu and Tang Feng, making the two of them particularly happy and proud.
Sure enough, my daughter is trying to make them proud.
Song Youfu, in particular, was praised by his two brothers and sister-in-law, as if this was the most glorious moment in his life.
He is the hero of the Song family and gave birth to such a powerful and proud daughter.
Song Chu stayed in the village full of enthusiasm and praise for a few days, then asked Song Lao Da and others to prepare to leave next month, and she returned to the county town.
There was no way out. The villagers were too enthusiastic. Not only was she praised by everyone when she went out, but people from other villages even came to see her specially, saying that she was the God of Literature who had descended to earth. She could only run away helplessly.
In the county town, Song Chu waters the flowers and grass at home every day and leads a leisurely and happy life. When no one is around, he goes to the laboratory and reads books and materials related to grain crops, oil, vegetables, fruits, medicinal materials, etc.
These books and materials contain a lot of useful information, such as how to increase the yield of grain crops, how to graft to optimize fruit trees, how to cultivate some medicinal herbs that are difficult to propagate artificially, etc.
Almost a month passed by in a flash, as I spent my leisure time reading.
With only ten days left before the registration deadline, Song Chu asked his family to deal with their affairs before going to Beijing together.
They went back to the village again and said goodbye to their relatives and friends. After all, they would not be back in the short term.
The news that Song Chu was going to take his whole family to Beijing also spread in the village, shocking everyone in the village.
No one expected that Song Chu would go to Kyoto to study at university and even bring his entire family with him, so everyone couldn't help but envy the people in the Song family.
"Tang Feng and You Fu have raised a good daughter, and she will go to Kyoto to enjoy a good life soon."
"Yes, Youfu should have had the worst life among our generation. Who would have thought that he is now the most prosperous."
"There's nothing we can do. It's because that guy got so lucky that he gave birth to a daughter as amazing as Chuchu. Now he's turned his life around."
"I heard that Tang Feng and Youfu went to Kyoto, and Ren Chuchu wanted to open a clothing store and a furniture store for them. Whose daughter can be so filial to her parents?"
"No matter what, they are both Song Chu's parents, so it's only right that they should enjoy the good life with him. I think the luckiest ones are actually the Song brothers. Even the second and fourth brothers who used to be sneaky and cunning have become successful now."
"Yeah, who would have thought that Song Lao Si would be so lucky with Chu Chu's help, otherwise I should have married my daughter to him last year."
"Come on, will Song Lao Si look down on your daughter? What kind of girl can't he marry in Kyoto?"
"I am just regretting this. I should have decided on this son-in-law earlier. Otherwise, my daughter could have gone to Kyoto to enjoy the good life with me."
"Speaking of this, Chuchu is so amazing and kind. This time, she even brought the second and third wives of Song Lao with her. I heard that she will arrange jobs for them."
Such a sister and sister-in-law are definitely hard to find in the world, why didn't they meet one? I'm so envious...
