Because of this joyous occasion, Liu Maocai specially returned to his hometown to hold a full-month celebration for his eldest granddaughter. He refused all monetary gifts and simply invited everyone to dinner, so that everyone could feel how much the Liu family valued their youngest granddaughter.
The elderly couple discussed it and decided that since Pengfei and Ping'an were about to take the college entrance examination, they should hurry back home.
After the exams, the family went back to their hometown to stay for a few days.
Liu Jianguo and Jiang Yan naturally had no objections. There was a nanny to take care of them, and besides, Li Cuihua was almost seventy years old; even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to.
The elderly couple hurriedly took the car back.
There were an unusually large number of students taking the college entrance examination this year. Fortunately, Pengfei had studied diligently, so there was no need to worry about Ping An, who was ranked first in his class.
They both knew that Tang Feiyan and Qin Shuang went to the same high school, so they just nodded to each other when they met. However, they still kept an eye on them, worried that they might be bullied.
When the scorching July arrives, the college entrance examination will begin soon.
Qin Shuang and Tang Feiyan also did well in their studies, and with their partners summarizing key points for them, their grades improved by leaps and bounds in the second half of the year.
The two-day college entrance examination ended. After the exam, the two of them moved to Fuzeyuan to keep the elderly residents company.
Zhang Hongmei never even asked about their grades. Whatever grades they got, that was all they were.
"Mom, you trust us so much?"
Zhang Hongmei smiled, looking at Tang Feiyan who was staring at her. This girl had a really good attitude. Even Qin Shuang would be worried, but this second daughter-in-law was really relaxed.
"Feiyan, the exams are all over, what's the use of worrying? We'll know the results in a few days. You two shouldn't put too much pressure on yourselves, it's okay if you don't pass."
Qin Shuang nodded; she had truly done her best. She wouldn't regret it even if she didn't pass the exam.
Have you two decided on your majors yet?
Both of them shook their heads; they really had no ambition and had never even considered this issue.
"Mom, what majors do you recommend? I really have no idea." Qin Shuang wanted to hear other people's opinions.
"Hmm, what do you two like?"
Tang Feiyan was a little embarrassed. "Mom, I really don't have any favorite majors, but if I had to choose, I would choose economics."
Qin Shuang sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, curiously waiting for Zhang Hongmei to say something next.
"It's not impossible; the more economical the option, the better."
When I chose my major, I thought I was finally going to escape this sea of suffering. But once I started classes, I realized that economics was also incredibly difficult.
Both of them fell silent, deciding to wait for their sister-in-law and the others to return so they could ask them.
On Friday night, Yang Lijun and her friend came over. Seeing the way the two girls looked at them, the family finally decided to stick with the economics department.
They went to school on Monday morning; today they're going to register for their college applications.
Pengfei has been doing well these past few days. After he returned, Ping An saw his answers and thought he was excellent, and that he would have no problem getting into Capital University.
Three days after they submitted their college applications, the results came out, and all four of them got into universities in the capital. Li Cuihua was so happy that she cried tears of joy.
"Grandma, are you just too happy?" Zhiyuan wiped away Li Cuihua's tears.
"That's right. From now on, we won't have to worry about your older brother. He's successful on his own, and he'll have your Aunt Hongmei and Zhenye and the others. Your grandfather and I can finally relax."
Pengfei was also quite heartbroken, but now he can finally rest easy.
"Grandma, I'm all grown up now. It's my turn to take care of you from now on."
"Alright, alright, put everything else aside. Tomorrow I'll go to your Aunt Hongmei's house and ask her to introduce you to someone. Even if you don't want to get married right now, you still have to date first, otherwise the girl will be taken by someone else."
Ping An laughed from the side. Grandma was really clever. First, she stirred up emotions, and now that she brought this up, her older brother wouldn't have the heart to refuse.
"Grandma, no need for my Aunt Hongmei. I have a girl I like. We're classmates, and now we've both been admitted to university, so we can date."
Ping An was taken aback; this older brother was quite good at hiding his true nature, and he hadn't noticed anything amiss.
"Pengfei, did the girl also get into university?"
"Yes, she applied to medical school, which is also in the capital."
"Haha, sure, when are you going to bring your family home so we can meet you?"
"Grandma, we made plans to go out and have fun tomorrow. Let's discuss it first."
"Good, good, good!" Li Cuihua's mouth stretched from ear to ear. Liu Maocai chuckled beside her.
When Er Ya came home that evening, she learned that her nephew had a girl he liked while he was in school, and she was genuinely happy for him.
However, the girl still needs to meet him in person to put her mind at ease.
The next day, Zhang Hongmei arrived with her four daughters-in-law. They were quite happy to learn about Pengfei's situation. Pengfei was truly lucky to have encountered such pure and genuine affection.
“Hongmei, your third uncle and I are taking our six children back to Liujiatun these past two days. This is a joyous occasion, and we’ll be having a big feast when we get home.”
"It should be a grand celebration, Auntie, I won't be going back."
"Well, you should stay home and wait for us. We'll be back in mid-August."
Both the Qin and Tang families held banquets. Even living in the capital, getting into a university in the capital is extremely difficult.
Taking this opportunity, many relatives from both families came to offer their congratulations. Now that the girl has found a good husband, everyone is naturally willing to teach her well.
Zhang Weiyu and Zhang Ruifeng, who were far away in the United States, also learned that their wives had been admitted to the University of the Capital and praised each other lavishly over the phone.
Qin Shuang said arrogantly, "Who am I? How could I not pass the exam?"
However, if the exam were held in another city, I really wouldn't have passed.
"Alright, don't think about these things anymore. Just focus on passing the exam."
"Zhang Weiyu, you don't know, this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination is a girl from the south. She's very famous now."
"Hehe, you don't need to compare yourself to others," Zhang Weiyu comforted Qin Shuang. He knew that Qin Shuang's grades were just enough to get into the Capital University.
"I know, I can't compare to others, and I don't want to compare. Having a good family background is also an advantage for me."
"Hehe, it's good that you understand. By the way, would you like to come and visit the US?"
"We're not going. Mom asked us about it, but none of the four of us speak foreign languages well. We've decided to use the summer vacation to learn foreign languages and go play when we have the chance later."
Zhang Weiyu didn't say much, after all, even if they did come, there wasn't time right now. He and his older brother only had four hours of rest each day.
Knowing that they were going back to China, Uncle Zhao gave himself another three months of vacation so he could rest at home.
