After helping to look after the store for three days in a row, Yan Mancang's mind became active. If he and his wife moved to Beijing, the two of them should be able to support the family by doing some small business. In this way, his biggest worry would not be so worrying.
It's been a while since I was out and it's time to go back. After helping the store get back on track, Yan Mancang returned to his hometown, while Shuangxi continued to stay in Beijing to help.
The college entrance examination results came out at the end of July. Yan Mancang called and said Shuangxi had scored 367 points. Xiang Nuan asked someone to find out the passing score of the Beijing Institute of Economics that Shuangxi had applied for. It turned out that he had exceeded the passing score by 11 points. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to get in.
Shuangxi was so excited that she couldn't stop smiling the whole day. In the afternoon, when the store closed, Xiang Nuan specially prepared a large table of dishes for her to celebrate.
"Sister-in-law, you are so nice. I love you so much!"
There is nothing happier than having family to share joy with.
Xiang Nuan raised her hand to wipe the oil off her face from her kiss, and said in disgust: "It's so greasy."
Shuangxi chuckled, "I'm so happy~ By the way, I'm going to write a letter to tell that kid Jinbu!"
Xiang Nuan asked curiously, "Are you still connected to Jinbu?"
Shuangxi nodded, "Yes, we have been writing letters to each other. It was he who suggested that I apply to the university in Beijing. I wanted to come to Beijing to visit him, but you were all busy with your final exams, so I didn't bother him. He went home as soon as the holiday came, so I can only wait until school starts to find another opportunity."
"That's good. The kid is very good. It's good for your growth to have such a friend."
Sun Jinbu was admitted to Capital Medical University in 1977 or 1978. It was Yao Jinhua who sent him to school that year, and Xiang Nuan's family even had dinner with them.
"He's just a little bit better than me."
When he was a child, he was suppressed by her and couldn't make any progress. When he grew up, he lost completely in studying. Shuangxi still felt ashamed, but he couldn't deny that she was indeed excellent.
Xiang Nuan could see through her thoughts and smiled, "Shuangxi, you have to remember that academic qualifications are important but they are not everything. You are very good, with a good personality, good looks, and a sense of justice. These are your shining points. Don't underestimate yourself at any time. In my heart, you are an excellent girl."
Shuangxi's nose was sore when he heard this, and he hugged Xiang Nuan's waist tightly with both hands, "Sister-in-law, you are so good to me~"
Although she had been carefree and fearless since she was a child, she still felt inferior from the bottom of her heart when she suddenly came to the big city. She always felt out of place. Xiang Nuan's words made her feel warm and encouraged. She had relatives in this big and strange city.
Xiang Nuan smiled and patted her head, "You are my sister, if I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well? When you are free in two days, I will take you to the department store and buy you two new clothes for school. You are a grown-up girl now, you have to learn how to dress yourself up."
"I always listen to my sister-in-law!"
Shuangxi was extremely happy to hear that she had new clothes to wear. Her sister-in-law had always bought her clothes and shoes since she was a child. She kept them in mind. When she worked and earned money in the future, she would buy her sister-in-law many gifts!
In early August, Shuangxi’s admission letter arrived. Yan Mancang called to inform me and then forwarded it to me directly.
On the first day of school, Xiang Nuan accompanied her to the school to register. Jinbu had already learned that she had been successfully admitted to the School of Economics, and came to see her.
"Aunt."
Jinbu greeted Xiang Nuan politely when he saw her.
