As they were talking, Xu Jinshu came back and walked into the house with a smile on his face.
Because Qin Ying became the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination, the news spread very quickly. When she went out in the afternoon, everyone was asking her, congratulating her, and envying her.
Seeing that they were all sitting in the living room, their expressions were a little unusual. Without paying too much attention, he walked directly to Qin Ying, took her hand, and said happily:
"Oh, I spent more time talking to you than I did doing anything else this time. Everyone I met was so enthusiastic. If I hadn't been so engrossed in their conversation, I would have returned long ago. You don't know how they kept asking you how you studied, but you actually managed to get top marks in the college entrance exam. It's truly an honor for your family."
Xu Jinshu said this with a grin from ear to ear, his face showing an unconcealable pride.
Qin Ying smiled embarrassedly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. She had taken advantage of him. She was already a doctor before she traveled through time and space. There was no special method for her. She could only study hard and practice diligently.
"Mom, I'm embarrassed by your praise."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This is a reflection of your strength. We are all proud of you."
Xu Jinshu patted her hands and said with relief.
"That's right, sister-in-law. If I go to work tomorrow, I might be driven crazy by questions from the people in the hospital."
Fu Hanting pretended to be troubled when speaking, but her tone couldn't hide her happiness.
"I didn't go to the army today. If I had, it would have been noisy and bustling."
Thinking of that scene, Fu Hanzhou curled his lips slightly.
Gu Ping'an saw Xu Jinshu coming back, his mind and eyes full of Qin Ying, and he watched them chatting with jealousy.
Even a proud young lady like Fu Hanting had a 180-degree change in her attitude towards Qin Ying.
Qin Ying has now become the hero of the Fu family. She agreed with a forced smile:
"Before the exam, my colleagues from the art troupe said that two of Captain Fu's relatives from the countryside came to visit and said they wouldn't pass the exam. Tomorrow, when I go to work, I'm going to tell them that Qin Ying was the top scorer. Anyone who said Qin Ying couldn't pass is really looking down on others. It's just... well, Meihua didn't do well on the exam this time..."
What a shame, you bitch! Gu Ping'an did it on purpose. Qin Meihua was still thinking about how to plead with Xu Jinshu. She couldn't go back.
Suddenly she heard Gu Ping'an mention her. Before she could think of a reason, she saw Xu Jinshu looking at Qin Meihua with sudden realization and asked with concern:
"Meihua didn't do well in the exam this time?"
"She said she didn't do well on the test, and even after being asked for a long time, she wouldn't tell me what her score was."
Fu Hanting responded swiftly.
"Auntie, I...I didn't do well in the exam. But I think I can definitely pass next year."
Xu Jinshu frowned. She seemed to hear what they were talking about when she just entered the room. She was surrounded by news about Qin Ying and was extremely happy for a while. Now, after hearing the news about Qin Meihua, her excited mood slowly calmed down.
"Mom, I've already made the arrangements. I'll have someone book a ticket for Meihua in the next couple of days. She's been away from home for so long, it's time for her to go back. Otherwise, her family will be worried."
Fu Hanzhou sat aside and spoke calmly.
Xu Jinshu nodded, his expression calm, and his face without a smile showed a certain unquestionable majesty.
She looked at Qin Meihua and spoke slowly:
"Hanzhou is right to think about it, Meihua. You've been out for a long time now. The exam is over. No matter what the result is, you should plan for the future. You see, staying here isn't a long-term solution. Your family is definitely looking forward to your return. After you go back, whether you continue your studies or find a job, you can live a stable life."
Qin Meihua originally thought she could still exert some strength on Xu Jinshu, but now she became flustered after hearing her words.
She hurried over, sat next to her, took Xu Jinshu's hand, and begged:
"Auntie, I really don't want to leave. I know I didn't do well on the test this time, but I know where I should work hard next time. I will correct the areas where I didn't do well.
I want to find a job here and study hard. I'm sure I'll be able to pass the next college entrance exam. Auntie, please give me another chance. I don't know anyone here, and there's really no hope for me if I go back."
"Sister, you should go back. You've been away for so long, and your parents need someone to take care of them at home. How can you bear to let them worry about you all the time? I'm a man after all, and I can't take care of my parents as carefully as you do."
Qin Ying looked at her with a faint smile. It seemed that Qin Meihua would have to leave this time.
Hearing Qin Ying's words, Xu Jinshu nodded in agreement:
"Yingying is right. There's no need to discuss this matter. Hanzhou, hurry up and get Meihua a ticket tomorrow so she can go back early."
She thought for a moment, and regardless of Qin Meihua's expression becoming numb, she continued:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to take good care of you while you're here. After all, it's not appropriate for you, an unmarried young woman, to always live here. When you're free, pack up your things and don't leave anything behind."
After that, he turned to Fu Hanzhou and said:
"Hanzhou, prepare some local specialties for Meihua to take back these two days. This is also a token of our appreciation."
Fu Hanzhou nodded and said to Qin Ying:
"It just so happens that we're going to buy a bed tomorrow, and then we can pick out some gifts for your parents."
Qin Ying said "hmm" softly. Xu Jinshu looked at the two of them and smiled with relief again. No one cared about Qin Meihua's dark face.
Xu Jinshu thought of something and said:
"Your father will be back in the next two days. When he comes back and knows that Qin Ying has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he will definitely be very happy. Maybe he will even hold a celebration banquet in the compound."
"Ah? Dad is coming back? He was gone for such a long time this time. I miss him so much."
