Seeing Xu Xinning rush towards him so hurriedly, Mu Jingheng's somewhat gloomy mood immediately brightened. He smiled as he looked at Xu Xinning, wanting to open his arms and let her throw herself into his embrace.
As soon as she stood still, Xu Xinning asked breathlessly, "Why are you here?"
Mu Jingheng held up what he was holding and said with a smile, "I'm here to deliver breakfast."
Xu Xinning couldn't help but move closer and ask, "Aunt Tong, what delicious food have you made?"
Mu Jingheng affectionately patted Xu Xinning's head and smiled, "These are all your favorite foods."
In fact, Mu Jingheng barely slept last night. He got up before dawn to make breakfast with Aunt Tong, wanting Xu Xinning to eat breakfast he made himself.
Xu Xinning smiled happily, her eyes fixed on Mu Jingheng.
"Shall we eat at the cafeteria?"
Mu Jingheng: "Okay, whatever you say."
Lin Ying and the other students in the dormitory all leaned out the window and looked down, the group of them huddled together, creating a lively scene.
"It's a man."
"Wow, it's so high!"
"He looks so handsome!"
"Who do you think that person is to Xu Xinning?"
"It must be the older brother!"
"Isn't Xu Xinning's home quite far from here? How come her brother is in Kyoto?"
"Why can't we stay in Kyoto? Maybe we're here to study too."
"I don't think so. Two spots per family? How is that possible?"
"Then who do you think he is?"
"Could it be her man?"
"Xu Xinning is only eighteen years old."
"What's wrong with being eighteen? In the countryside, eighteen-year-olds already have children."
“I don’t think Hsu Hsin-ning is the type of person who would get married so early.”
"I heard from people that Professor Du from their college often looks for Xu Xinning, and they all say he's pursuing her!"
"Xu Xinning is so beautiful, isn't it normal for her to have suitors?"
"I'm so envious!"
Lin Ying couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled everyone aside and reminded them, "Words can be dangerous. You should learn from Li Youxuan; she doesn't have this kind of curiosity."
We've lived together for about two months now, and we've basically figured out what our roommates are like. Although no one says it out loud, everyone understands Li Youxuan's two-faced nature. As long as it doesn't harm their own interests, no one will say anything, after all, it's her freedom.
But this is a special era, and with such a person in the dormitory, you have to be careful what you say.
Li Youxuan always felt that this school was her bad luck.
She used to be popular wherever she went, but after arriving at this school, she found that many things were not as smooth as she had imagined, and her relationship with her classmates did not seem to be so easy to get along with.
Actually, it's not the other students' fault. It's mainly because Lianhua's behavior was too obvious after Li Youxuan came here. No one who comes here is a good person. If they couldn't see through such tricks, they wouldn't have been able to stand out in the social interactions. This is different from those newbies who came through the college entrance examination later.
Li Youxuan kept her head down, as if she hadn't heard the other classmates talking about her.
Xu Xinning didn't know what her roommates were like. At this moment, the two of them were walking on the tree-lined path of the campus in the early morning. The sunlight dappled through the big trees on both sides and shone on them, giving them an oil painting feel.
Xu Xinning: "How did you handle your matter?"
Mu Jingheng: "It's almost done. Xin'er, I didn't expect you to be recommended to go to university."
Xu Xinning smiled slyly: "You don't think it's good?"
Mu Jingheng said aggrievedly, "It's not that it's bad, it's just that I'll be going back alone, and the thought of you not being by my side makes me a little unbearable."
Xu Xinning leaned closer to Mu Jingheng and whispered, "Have you forgotten that place? Isn't it easy for us to meet?"
Mu Jingheng teased, "Can we sleep together tonight?"
Xu Xinning's face flushed bright red, and she gave Mu Jingheng a coquettish glare: "How can you be like this?"
Mu Jingheng smiled happily and reached out to pat Xu Xinning's head. "Don't forget you're my wife. Have you told your grandparents, uncles, and aunts about your schooling?"
Xu Xinning: "I've already written to them. Have you seen the suit I bought for you?"
Mu Jingheng was overjoyed, "You bought me clothes?"
Xu Xinning: "Yeah! I went to Friendship Store with Jingshu and Brother Zhihong to buy it. I thought you would look good in a suit, so I bought it for you when I saw it, and I also bought you a tie."
Mu Jingheng: "I should have known better than to wear this for you today."
Xu Xinning: "It's okay, we can set a time and meet there then."
The two ran into Du Changpu in the cafeteria and exchanged pleasantries. However, when Mu Jingheng learned that Du Changpu often visited Xu Xinning, he became jealous.
It is said that this was an era when travel was slow, letters took a long time to arrive, and people loved only one person in their lifetime.
It was ten days later when Xujiacun received the letter and package from Xu Xinning.
When Xu Xinning's family learned that she had been recommended by a high-ranking leader to attend university, they were all quite unsettled.
A high-ranking leader?
He was a figure in the newspaper. How did Xu Xinning come to be appreciated by him?
Yang Chunqin patted her chest for a while before finally managing to say, "I knew our little girl wasn't an ordinary person."
Xu Laosan offered his hindsight advice: "I knew all along that my sister would soar to great heights."
Grandpa Xu: "Old woman, let's go burn incense for our ancestors tonight and tell them that their descendants have made something of themselves and have even gained the appreciation of a high-ranking leader. It seems that our ancestors' efforts in the afterlife were not in vain!"
Grandma Xu: "Yes, yes, I won't go to work today. I need to secretly fold more gold ingots. If the ancestors are happy, they might hold a banquet down there. Money is needed everywhere, so we can't let them be too short of cash."
Grandpa Xu: "Yes, yes, yes, or I won't go either, I'll help you fold them."
Xu Laosan also wanted to take the opportunity to skip school, but he didn't dare after seeing Yang Chunqin's unfriendly gaze.
Xu Xinning sent home things from Friendship Store, thinking that Xu Laosan might like chocolate, so she weighed out a lot for him, bought him a pair of white sneakers, and also bought him the glass marbles he had been longing for.
The elders had a much wider variety of things, including nice fabrics, yarn, ready-made clothes, shoes, biscuits, canned meat, milk powder, and more.
The whole family was stunned when they opened the huge package.
How much would that cost?
They had never seen so many wonderful things in their entire lives.
Grandma Xu pressed her pounding chest and said, "Didn't my little girl ask the Mu family for a lot of money?"
Xu Laosan: "Is my sister going to rob me?"
Yang Chunqin flicked Xu Laosan on the forehead: "Do you think your sister is like you? Your sister is very capable, maybe she was given this position by a high-ranking leader?"
Xu Yaozu frowned and said, "I'll make a call and ask tomorrow?"
Grandpa Xu: "Why make a phone call? Won't Xiaoheng know everything when he gets back?"
Grandma Xu suddenly smiled: "Our daughter is a sensible girl. Since she bought it for us, we should accept it. We are all blessed. If it weren't for our daughter, how would we have the chance to see so many good things?"
Grandpa Xu: "Listen to your mother, come on, old woman, let's fold gold ingots."
