Chapter 290 Go back and see him!
"Really?" The old lady took the money but still couldn't believe that someone could buy all the plums at once.
"Is two yuan enough?" Zhao Yue asked.
The old lady quickly pocketed the money and said, "It's enough, it's just that it's a little sour. Put it under the quilt and cover it. It will become sweet in time. It will be fine if you keep it for seven or eight days. But you bought so much. If you can't finish it, it will go bad."
"It's okay, I can finish it." Su Jinxia said this and finished eating the last plum, feeling extremely satisfied.
"Judging from your appetite, you will most likely give birth to a son," the old lady said casually.
Zhao Yue said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, we like both."
The old lady thought the two young people were nice, so she started chatting with them about family matters. As they were talking, she almost missed her stop and got off the bus reluctantly.
Su Jinxia looked at the half extra bag of plums. Fortunately, she had put some things in the space before going out, otherwise she would have no way to take them away.
Soon the bus arrived at the station and they boarded the boat. It was not Old Wu who was driving the boat today, so there was no more chatterbox and the fun was a bit less.
After returning home and looking at the locked door, Su Jinxia took out the key from her pocket and opened the door.
"Haixia, she must have nothing to do, so she went out to visit friends again."
"That should be it! Otherwise where can we go?"
After entering the house, I found that the house had been cleaned again.
"With Haixia at home, we have to do a lot less work." Su Jinxia went back to the house to change her shoes.
"No, she is like a little bee that never sleeps."
The two of them sorted out the things they brought back, and just as they finished, they saw Li Haixia coming back with a basket in her hands.
"I went to the beach with them to pick up some food. There were a lot of things to eat!" Li Haixia went back to the house and wiped the sweat off her face. She felt her clothes were a little wet. "I'll go back and change my clothes first, and then I'll tell you how lucky I am today."
Su Jinxia didn't give her a chance to speak, and took out the roast duck.
Looking at the shiny roast duck, Li Haixia swallowed back all the words she was about to say.
“It looks delicious.”
"Come on, follow me back to the house to eat roast duck."
"Okay! The last time I ate there was at Bai Yang's house."
Zhao Yue stayed in the kitchen to empty the contents of the basket and wash them carefully with water, as he was destined to have a seafood dinner tonight.
Listening to the sounds of talking and laughing in the room, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This kind of life is really comfortable.
It was not until dinner time that Li Haixia learned that Su Jinxia had achieved such good grades.
"Xia Xia, you are really amazing. You are the top scholar in the province! From now on, I will tell others that I have lived in the top scholar's house and eaten there. It will be so proud."
Su Jinxia was amused and laughed, "You! How can you be so exaggerated!"
"You don't understand. In ancient times, a top scholar like you would be paraded through the streets on a horse! Isn't that what happens in the opera? The top scholar is chosen by the princess to be her husband! Or he is favored by a lady from an official family!"
"You have such a small brain, yet you have heard so many operas."
"When I was a kid, there was an old man living next door who often told us operas. I remembered them after hearing them so many times."
"Then this old man must have loved listening to opera."
We had this meal until after 10 o'clock because the weather was hot and it was easier to sleep when it was cooler at night.
Early the next morning.
The two men went to work, and they took a car to see An Xiyue.
I had been there once, so this time I was familiar with the place. When I arrived, I saw students in the yard.
It is worth mentioning that there are many stones in the yard, with all kinds of strange shapes.
Peng Xiaoya saw them coming and immediately went to greet them.
"The teacher went out with them and will be back in a while."
Su Jinxia found a cool place to stand and said, "I went to the city yesterday to check the results."
Peng Xiaoya was about to get a bench, but then she turned back and asked, "How did you do on the exam?"
"Xia Xia got the provincial top scorer in the exam." Li Haixia said eagerly.
"Ah! This is amazing!" Peng Xiaoya was full of admiration. "I thought it would be good enough to be admitted to a university, but you got the provincial top scorer. This is simply incredible."
"I just happened to be lucky and guessed the right questions."
Peng Xiaoya was so excited that she wanted to tell the teacher the good news as soon as possible, so she turned around and got a bench for them to sit on.
"I'm going to find the teacher and tell her the news. You just sit in the yard and wait." He turned around and walked out without waiting for their answer.
"Then tell my mother that there's no rush and drive slowly on the road." Su Jinxia shouted at her back.
Peng Xiaoya just raised her hand and waved as a response to them.
"Xia Xia, is this because of research? I think their brains are a little weird."
"Because they are busy with one thing all day long, they are great people"
"I understand what you mean. Without their research, we wouldn't have a peaceful life. Bai Yang explained it to me."
"Look how happy you are."
"You're still talking about me. Aren't you very happy?"
The two chatted and laughed until An Xiyue came back from outside.
Upon learning that her daughter-in-law passed the provincial exam and became the top scholar, An Xiyue walked with a breeze.
"Xia Xia, is it true? Is it true?"
“It’s a must!”
"That's great! You are a child, you are silent or nothing, but once you speak, it's amazing. I didn't want to put pressure on you before. If you can pass the exam, then pass it. If you can't, it doesn't matter."
"I ended up being the top scorer in the province, right?"
An Xiyue nodded, and after being excited, she bowed to the sky.
"Thank God!"
Su Jinxia waited for her mother-in-law to finish her worship and said, "I brought some food over. Let's get together and have a meal."
"Okay! Let's cook some dishes too!" An Xiyue was in a very good mood. She hadn't been so happy in many years, as if she had made a breakthrough in her research.
The meal took a long time, until it was almost dark, and they would miss the bus if they didn't leave now, so they went back.
Time passed quickly, and the appointed day arrived in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Yue took three days off to meet his father. He was very excited. This was the second time they had met. The first time was when his baby was born.
After taking a boat and a car, it was not until dark that they finally returned to the familiar county town.
We chose to meet here, thinking that the research place is not far from here.
They came early and could only meet the next day.
They first went to a state-owned hotel for dinner, returning to a familiar place so that they could have a sense of belonging. They ordered their dishes and then went to a private room.
Soon, Manager Wang and the waiters brought all the dishes we ordered.
"I haven't seen you guys for a long time, what have you been busy with?"
Zhao Yue took the plates that were passed to him and placed them on the table one by one. He didn't say anything until he had finished placing them.
"My wife followed me to the army and has been living on the island for the past few months."
