After her initial joy, Yan Ling took the initiative to push her bicycle, a smile on her face, and said, "Let's go home."
As soon as she stepped through the gate, she couldn't wait to report the good news to Su Xiang.
"Old man, our daughter passed the exam."
Su Xiang nearly dropped his old smoking pipe and immediately stood up. "What do you mean?"
He thought he had misheard.
Yan Ling walked to his side and repeated loudly, "I said, our daughter passed the exam, and she's number one!"
Su Xiang turned his gaze to Su Jingjing, his heart pounding in his chest. He asked nervously, "Daughter, is what your mother said true?" His voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation and unease.
"Hey, you old man, you still don't believe me?" Yan Ling said gently, her tone tinged with helplessness.
She knew that the old man had always admired scholars, but Dashan and Jingjing seemed uninterested in studying and had dropped out of school early.
Things are different now; her daughter got into university.
Su Jingjing sensed her parents' concern. She smiled and nodded, answering affirmatively, "Dad, it's true, I got into Beijing University." Her eyes were firm and confident.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiang's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and his eyes welled up with tears.
He was so excited that he couldn't speak, he just held his daughter's hand tightly.
"Daughter, Dad is so proud of you."
Looking at her father's kind face, Su Jingjing was filled with emotion.
Actually, she worked hard to get into university partly because she wanted a bright future, and partly because she wanted to repay their love.
When Su Dashan and his wife returned at noon and learned the news, they were shocked, but mostly happy.
The whole family was immersed in joy. Yan Ling originally wanted to celebrate this important moment together, but the old man said that his in-laws might not know about it yet, and asked his daughter to go back to the old house.
She thought about it and realized that the old man wasn't wrong.
"Girl, hurry back and tell your parents-in-law the good news."
"Mom, I'll come over tomorrow."
Su Jingjing didn't refuse; she really needed to go back to the old house, as her in-laws might also be waiting for the results.
Immediately afterwards, she rode her bike back to the old house with Li Yuehuan.
Li Family Old House
"What did Bingdong say?"
As soon as Li Yuan hung up the phone, Chen Shufang came over.
Li Yuan glanced at her, and only when she became increasingly anxious did he slowly open his mouth, "Jingjing passed the exam, and she even ranked first."
Chen Bingdong just kept praising Jingjing on the phone, practically showering her with compliments.
Chen Shufang was stunned for a long time. "Really first place?"
I never expected Jing to have such good grades; she's been hiding her talent all along.
Jingjing, well done! You really made her proud. Let's see if those gossipy women will dare to talk nonsense again.
"Yes, Bingdong said it himself, so it can't be wrong."
Looking at Chen Shufang's excited expression, Li Yuan couldn't help but snort.
"See? I told you back then that Jingjing is just as good as those city kids."
Chen Shufang rolled her eyes at him, looking slightly uncomfortable. "That happened years ago, why bring it up again?"
"You mustn't mention this in front of the children, lest it upset them."
An'an suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood not far from the sofa. "Grandpa and Grandma, did you just say that Mom passed the exam?"
Chen Shufang waved to them, holding one in each arm, her smile barely concealed.
"Yes, aren't you happy for your mother?"
An'an nodded calmly, "Mom studied very hard, so this result was expected."
During this month, Mom got up early every day to study and went to bed very late at night. She was so engrossed in her studies that she stopped sleeping in in order to get into university.
"Grandma, brother, what are you talking about?"
Yuanyuan looked left and right, her mind a little confused.
"What is a university? Isn't it amazing?"
She blinked her eyes, looking particularly lively.
"Yes, people who can get into university are all very capable, let alone Mom who came in first place."
With her round mouth wide open, she clapped her little hands and exclaimed, "Wow, Mommy is so amazing!"
In her heart, first place is something that can never be surpassed.
Just then, a commotion came from outside.
"It must be Mom coming back."
Yuanyuan immediately jumped up from Chen Shufang's arms and ran outside in her slippers.
An'an, who is usually calm, followed closely behind.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
As soon as Su Jingjing parked the car, Yuanyuan ran over like a little cannonball and hugged her leg.
"Honey, what's making you so happy?"
She bent down and kissed the children on the cheek, and even An'an smiled happily, which surprised her quite a bit.
The next second, Yuanyuan turned into a chatterbox, her little mouth babbling out everything.
"Mom, you're amazing!"
Then An'an shyly kissed her cheek.
Yuan Yuan wasn't going to be outdone, and frantically smeared saliva on her face.
"Do Grandpa and Grandma know?"
But there's nothing strange about it; it's probably just that their uncle called to tell them the good news.
"Jingjing, your dad and I know, and we are both very proud of you."
Chen Shufang emotionally stepped forward and hugged Su Jingjing.
"I apologize for the harsh words I said to you before. I hope you won't take it to heart."
Su Jingjing gently pushed away her embrace, took her hand, and smiled faintly, "Mom, I often said things that upset you before, and I apologize to you."
Chen Shufang laughed heartily and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, then let's forget all the unhappy things from the past and get along well."
"Come on, let's go inside and sit down and chat."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the house hand in hand.
Li Yuan turned his gaze to Li Yuehuan, "Did you go to school with your second sister-in-law to check your grades?"
"Mmm."
Li Yuehuan felt uncertain and couldn't stop wondering what her father was trying to say.
"You'll be taking the college entrance exam next year, do you have any plans?"
Li Yuehuan pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "I don't have any ideas yet."
Before her father's dark expression, she changed her approach, "What I mean is, I'll make a proper plan after school starts, and in these two months, I'll learn from my second sister-in-law."
"That's more like it."
Li Yuan's few words, though spoken casually, contained an invisible authority.
He turned to face An An and Yuan Yuan, who were looking up at him, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, a complete transformation.
"Come on, come inside with Grandpa and play."
Li Yuehuan took a deep breath, "Phew, that was close!"
As soon as Li Hanting finished his work, Gu Qingyun congratulated him.
"Han Ting, Jing Jing got into university."
Li Hanting paused, a smile creeping across his face.
"Uncle Gu, thank you for letting me know."
Gu Qingyun: "I'm giving you half a day off today. Go back and have a good celebration."
"I still have a little work left. I'll go back after I finish it."
Li Hanting forced himself to remain calm and continued handling the work.
Ten minutes later, he drove back to his old house.
