Chapter 134
This was the first time that Zhao Xiuzhi made Jingxian speechless.
"Jingxian, even those old guys in our village who know nothing know that University A is the best school in our country. Why don't you treat us?"
Taking advantage of the fact that her mother-in-law was not at home, Zhao Xiuzhi leaned on the wall and started teasing Jingxian.
What a courage!
Jing Xian raised her eyebrows and said generously, "Okay."
"Is this true? Don't brag to me. I've been waiting for so long and you're just kidding me." Zhao Xiuzhi might have been controlled by her mother-in-law in the past few years. Now that her mother-in-law left, she has let herself go.
Jing Xian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why would I lie to you? It just so happens that I didn't treat everyone to a meal last time I left, so I'll make it up this time. But it'll take two days, I have to prepare everything first."
Zhao Xiuzhi almost climbed over the wall: "Do you need my help?"
"No, I'm not that busy."
Jing Xian was very happy when she saw the contents of the telegram.
She knew she could pass the exam, but she didn't expect to do so well.
Jing Xian spoke a few more words to Zhao Xiuzhi, then took the children to call his father.
Comrade Jingfeng had been waiting by the phone for a long time. When Jingxian called him, he answered the phone.
"Hello? Dad!"
Comrade Jingfeng coughed and tried to look less excited.
"Your test results are out, and the notice just arrived at our house today. I sent you a telegram, did you see it?"
Little did people know that after the notice was delivered, Comrade Jingfeng put on a great show.
Now everyone in the neighborhood knows that Jingfeng's daughter Jingxian was admitted to University A.
Many people would smile and congratulate Jingfeng when they saw him.
"I saw the telegram, so I came to call you. Dad, is it written on the notice? When does school start?" Jing Xian looked at the children playing not far away, with a faint smile on her lips all the time.
Jingfeng said: "It says before October 8th."
"Then I can wait until the end of September to go back." Jing Xian thought she would leave soon, but now it seems she can stay at home for more than a month.
Jingfeng wanted his daughter to come back earlier, but he knew that she would have to stay at home for half a year. It would take half a year for the couple to see each other again.
"If you come back, please come back two days in advance so that we can have a banquet."
Many people knew that Jingfeng had a daughter, but they had never met Jingxian.
He planned to take this opportunity to let Jingxian meet his relatives and friends.
Jing Xian thought about it and said, "That's fine."
The father and daughter exchanged a few words, and because the call bill was too expensive, Jing Xian hung up the phone.
Shang Nanchen returned home and saw a table full of food, so he followed Jing Xian to help.
"Is there anything good happening today?" Shang Nanchen's heart was sinking.
He calculated the days and estimated that Jing Xian would be leaving, so he prepared such a delicious meal.
Jing Xian knew from the look on his face that he had misunderstood.
She deliberately didn't explain and hid it from Shang Nanchen, intending to give him a surprise.
"I just wanted to make something delicious for you. You've lost weight while I was away."
Jing Xian served the soup, Shang Nanchen brought it into the house, and the family sat around the dining table and started eating.
Before she started eating, Jing Xian smiled and said, "My dad sent me a telegram today, telling me that I was admitted to university."
Shang Nanchen was stunned: "This is a good thing, we should celebrate it."
"Dad, didn't you even ask my mom what school she applied to?" Tiedan was really anxious.
His father's personality is really not popular at all.
"Which university did you get into?" Shang Nanchen had something on his mind, and his smile was not like usual.
Jing Xian blinked: "A University."
Shang Nanchen raised his head in shock: "University A?"
His face was full of disbelief
.
Shang Nanchen knew that Jing Xian was very outstanding, but he didn't expect her to be so outstanding.
"Great!"
Shang Nanchen felt proud from the bottom of his heart.
"I just don't know how Damao did in the exam." Jing Xian was so happy that she forgot about this when she made the call just now.
Shang Nanchen said: "If you want to know, just call dad and ask him."
"Too."
Jing Xian picked up the chopsticks and said, "Okay, let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold soon."
Shang Nanchen looked at the table full of his favorite dishes, but he had no appetite.
"When Dad called me, didn't he tell me when school starts?" Shang Nanchen didn't even eat a single bite of food in order to prepare for this sentence.
Jing Xian figured it out. If she didn't say it, Shang Nanchen would have no chance of having a good meal today.
"Before October 8th."
Jing Xian deliberately said the date calmly, and kept glancing at Shang Nanchen with the corner of her eyes, seeing Shang Nanchen's reaction clearly.
"October 8th?" Shang Nanchen was surprised at first, and then ecstatic.
Apparently he hadn't expected an extra month.
Jing Xian smiled and nodded: "Maybe it's because the acceptance letter has just come out, so the start of school has been postponed for a month."
"Good."
Shang Nanchen nodded vigorously, grinning foolishly and started eating.
Seeing how happy he was, Jing Xian couldn't help but smile.
She suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.
"I plan to invite people I know to my home for a meal these days. After all, I left in such a hurry last time that I didn't have time to invite everyone to dinner."
Shang Nanchen took out two hundred yuan from his pocket: "If the money is not enough, I will find another way."
Speaking of money, Jing Xian suddenly remembered another important matter that she had not yet told Shang Nanchen.
"If you retire or change your job, do we not have to go back to our hometown?"
Jing Xian will definitely not return to Sheng City.
Shang Nanchen turned his head and asked her, "Why do you still want to talk about this?"
"I'm just asking."
Jing Xian felt that Shang Nanchen would probably have to return to his hometown house after retirement.
Shang Nanchen said: "Grandpa and grandma's house was sold by Shang Yongchang. If you want to move back with me, you have to buy another house."
"No, I just wanted to tell you that I bought a house in the capital. I spent all our family savings on it." Jing Xian didn't dare to look at Shang Nanchen after she finished speaking.
Shang Nanchen saw that she looked like she had done something wrong and was willing to be punished. Although he was not angry to begin with, he found it a little funny.
"Are you afraid that I'll get angry?" Shang Nanchen spoke directly.
Jing Xian raised her head and found that Shang Nanchen was really not angry at all.
She was very surprised and asked: "All the family savings have been spent, aren't you angry?"
"If you lose money, you can earn it again. You want to buy a house with our savings of the past two years. This is the right choice. Why should I be angry?"
"Don't you think this house is expensive?" Jing Xian herself thinks it is expensive. "Or do you not know how much savings we have?"
Shang Nanchen said: "I really don't know the exact amount, but I know the approximate number."
He gestured a number.
Jing Xian clicked her tongue twice: "I thought you really knew nothing. I didn't expect that although you usually don't care, you actually know everything."
"I always want to know whether the money in our family can support you and the children." Shang Nanchen took the initiative to explain.
"I didn't think much about it. Why do you need to explain?" Jing Xian said this now. If Shang Nanchen hadn't explained, that would have been a different story.
"The old lady didn't miss a penny for the 8,000 yuan house. And the house over there needs to be renovated. The layout of the room has changed a bit. It's being done at the same time as my dad's house. We can move in directly when we return."
Shang Nanchen asked
: "Our house is not far from Dad's?"
"It's next door. The old lady's house is a little small, but the size of the whole yard is not much smaller." Jing Xian looked at the yard carefully and liked it very much. "There is a persimmon tree in the yard, which is full of persimmons. Xiaowu and Xiaoliu jumped very high when they saw the persimmons. At that time, I thought it was a good deal to buy this yard."
Shang Nanchen was also very satisfied when he heard it.
"It doesn't matter what you know, the most important thing is that we are neighbors with our father's family." Seeing Jing Xian happy, Shang Nanchen felt that the money was worth spending.
Don't think that's your biological father.
But Jingxian longs to have a family of her own.
He had heard Jingxian casually talk about her longing for home before.
At that time, he was thinking of buying a house with Jingxian's name on it.
Now it has come true.
Shangnanchen had a day off on the weekend, so I took Jingxian and a few children to the tourist city early in the morning.
When they arrived at the city center, Jing Xian thought she was going to go shopping directly.
Unexpectedly, Shang Nanchen dragged Jing Xian into the photo studio.
"What are you doing here?" Jing Xian frowned.
Shang Nanchen said calmly: "Except for the last photo, we haven't taken a family photo this time. Now Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are grown up and have turned one year old. It's just right for us to take a family photo."
"That's fine."
Jing Xian thought so and took the children in.
The children came on the trip with tight clothes, so I made new clothes for a few of them.
Several boys were wearing the same clothes.
Xiaoliu was wearing a skirt of the same color and style as the one on the police officer.
When they stand together, you can tell they are a family just by looking at their clothes.
After the family photo was taken, Xiaowu and Xiaoliu took a photo alone. Tiedaner and Fusheng took another photo alone.
Four brothers took a photo.
Jing Xian and Shang Nan Chen took two group photos of three people with Tie Dan Fu Sheng, and then took a photo of four people. Then it was Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's turn to take the same photos.
After taking the family photo, Shang Nanchen asked the photographer to take an individual photo for each person in the family.
Finally, Shang Nanchen took a photo with Jing Xian.
After taking the photos, Jing Xian muttered, "This life is really unbearable."
“This is a memorial.”
Shang Nanchen felt good when he thought of the photo he took with Jing Xian.
"Let's do it again next year." Shang Nanchen still felt unsatisfied, and added, "Let's do it like this every year in the future."
Jing Xian began to feel bad about the money.
Shang Nanchen knew what she was thinking without asking.
"I will make good money in the future." Shang Nanchen grabbed Jing Xian's hand and looked at her with deep eyes.
Fusheng suddenly popped up his head and said loudly, "Mom, I will make a lot of money in the future, and I will give all my money to you."
Tiedan raised his eyebrows and said coolly, "There's also mine."
Xiaoliu shouted in a baby voice: "Here! Here!"
When she said two words, it meant she also spoke for Xiaowu.
Shang Nanchen: “…”
He finally understood what it meant when he said that the child was here to collect debts.
