After getting off the train, Jiang Mingli looked at Huan Huanle and thought about how well-behaved and sensible they had been along the way. They basically did their own things without anyone worrying about them. He couldn't help but praise them and said, "Little sister, Huan Huanle is really sensible. You and your brother-in-law have taught them well."
Before Jiang Shushu opened his mouth to speak, Huanhuanle and his two conspicuous bags started to show off: "Thank you for the compliment, uncle. We are only a little bit good and there is still a lot of room for improvement. When we make more progress, uncle will praise us again." Praise me, praise me as much as you can. The more you praise me, the more progress I will make.
"You guys are already pretty good now."
"Haha... Uncle, I've discovered you have a great advantage. You have excellent taste!" It's true that we are the cutest and most powerful people in the world...
Jiang Mingli: "..." Are you praising me? Are you praising yourselves?
Jiang Shushu said helplessly: "They are good in every way, but they don't know what humility is. If you praise them once, they can come up with 9 more compliments for themselves." The main goal is to be perfect.
"Haha... Children should be lively and active, with good personalities and sweet words. They're popular wherever they go and they're always happy. That's good."
After Jiang Mingli went out to do business, he realized the benefits of being extroverted and sweet-talking. He is really loved by everyone!
Huanhuanlele nodded vigorously beside him: That’s right, that’s right, when we go to school in September, we will definitely be the most handsome and most popular kids.
Jiang Shushu and his group went to the guesthouse closest to Jiang Mingli's home. Jiang Mingli was afraid that the elderly and children would be tired, and since the family had not made any preparations, he asked Jiang Shushu and the other four to rest in the guesthouse, and he would pick them up for dinner in the evening.
Jiang Shushu and Jiang He knew that Jiang Wenzhe was on vacation these two days and was reading at home. They didn't object because they were afraid of disturbing Jiang Wenzhe.
Jiang Mingli left the guesthouse and didn't rush home. Instead, he went to buy some groceries. He went to the vegetable market organized by the villagers and bought a chicken, a large grass carp, and two kilograms of beef...
Jiang Mingli returned home carrying bags of vegetables.
Sun Lili: "Oh my god, why did you buy so much food? It's hot now, and things will spoil quickly. Wenzhe is taking the college entrance exam these days, so I need to feed him fresh food. Should I do the shopping next time?" If it's not fresh, what if he gets a stomachache? A stomachache during the college entrance exam is no joke.
"I know. My parents and my sister have come to the provincial capital to cheer Wenzhe up. They're staying in a guesthouse now. Let's cook something sumptuous tonight. They'll come over for dinner."
"My parents and younger sister are coming, why didn't you inform me in advance? I could have bought groceries and cooked in advance. It's almost 16:30 now, aren't you wasting time? I don't even have time to cook a few of my signature dishes." Sun Lili had a savings of 20,000 yuan (and another 20,000 yuan was in Jiang Mingli's hands, used as capital). Sun Lili was extremely grateful to Jiang Shushu, who had lent money to Jiang Mingli for his business.
"My younger sister and the others made a last-minute decision. I only found out about it yesterday, so it's too late to inform you. You can cook your signature dish anytime, since they'll be here for several days anyway. Besides Wenzhe, the four of us will cook dinner, so it'll be quick."
"Okay."
Jiang Wenzhe was left in the room to read. After Sun Lili assigned tasks to the other three people in the family, she started to get busy. Then the four members of the family started working silently. They tried not to talk if possible, and even if they did, their voices were very soft, for fear of disturbing Jiang Wenzhe's reading.
Jiang Wenzhe was also helpless in the room. Jiang Wenzhe had said more than once that he was well prepared and that his family did not need to be so cautious and that they could just do things as usual, but no one listened to him.
Jiang Wenzhe waited until Jiang Shushu and others arrived before coming out of the room, and then the group happily had dinner together.
Jiang Shushu looked at Jiang Wenzhe, who wasn't nervous at all, and smiled. "You're in great shape now. Keep it up. Just treat the college entrance exam like any other exam. Only when you're comfortable can you reach your full potential."
"Aunt, I know, I can do it. I've reviewed everything I need to review. I think my knowledge is good, so I won't be nervous. Haha, it's not me who's nervous now, but my dad and the others."
Jiang Mingli: "..." It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are anxious to death. If I didn't want you to read a few more pages, would I have done that? Although you said you reviewed well, it's definitely a good idea to read more during the two days of vacation. What if you're lucky and the questions you read are exactly the same as those on the college entrance examination?
Jiang He: "Haha... Your dad and we have never been college entrance examination candidates before, so it's natural to be nervous for the first time. You don't have to worry about us. Just go at your own pace."
…
On July 6, Jiang Wenchen and Sun Hong came to the guesthouse to find Jiang Shushu and others early in the morning and brought breakfast.
After Jiang Shushu and the others finished breakfast, Jiang Shushu said to Jiang Wenchen and Jiang Hong, "I'm going to trouble you two today. You two should take your grandparents and your cousins out to play. Go wherever there's something good to eat and do. Auntie has something to do first, so she'll come to your house later."
Jiang Shushu took out 200 yuan and gave Jiang Wenchen and Jiang Hong 100 yuan each. "Wenchen, Xiaohong, take this money. This is today's expenses. You are responsible for paying the bill. Don't save money. I only have one request: all six of you have a good time today. Play whatever you want and eat whatever you want."
Jiang Wenchen, who usually only has two yuan in pocket money every month and a total net worth of only 12 yuan (10 yuan of which he earned when he went out this morning), suddenly had 100 yuan in his hand, and his hand was shaking a little, because this was the most money he had ever taken.
Jiang Hong's hands were shaking as she held the money. She stuffed the money into Jiang Wenchen's hand and said, "Brother, you should take it. I've never taken so much money at once. I'm really nervous."
The moment Jiang Hong gave the money, she felt much more relaxed: it was more reassuring to have the 10 yuan given by her mother in her pocket.
Jiang Wenchen: "..." He said that, as if I wasn't nervous at all. I'd never handled so much money before. 100 yuan was already nerve-wracking enough, and now it's 200 yuan. No, it's 210 yuan. Mom gave me another 10 yuan before we left.
"Auntie, this is too much. How about we reduce it by another zero? 20 yuan is enough to spend. Two hundred yuan, I'm a little worried." What if I lose it? What if it's stolen?
"Look at your lack of talent, what are you afraid of? It's just two hundred yuan, right? At worst, you'll lose it. Keep your head held high."
Jiang Wenchen and Jiang Hong immediately raised their heads and chests, but Jiang Wenchen still looked panicked.
"Wenchen, you need to practice your courage. Look at Xiaohong, she's much calmer than you."
Jiang Wenchen: “…” Bah, that’s because she didn’t have the money in her hand. If she had the money, she would be more panicked than me.
