Zhang Guihua was elated from all the praise she received from the villagers. Feeling joyous, she was no longer as stingy as usual. She went inside and brought out plates of sunflower seeds and candies that Jiang Changhai had bought, sharing them with the group with a beaming smile.
"Thank you, Aunt."
"Thank you, Aunt Jiang."
Everyone in the room gleefully grabbed a handful and took a few pieces of candy each.
It was evident that the old lady was truly happy today; they were actually able to get candies from her.
Zhang Guihua was known in the village for being quite stingy and sharp.
Life had gotten better, indeed. Even a person’s character could change significantly.
The villagers were munching on sunflower seeds when they glanced at Jiang Changfeng sitting to the side. With a shift of their eyes, they leaned in solicitously and asked, "Sister Changfeng, we heard from Aunt Jiang that you started a company in Xiangcheng. Is your company still hiring? If you’re hiring, how about taking along? We’re from the sa village; we know each other well. I’m incredibly strong and can do all kinds of work."
"Yes, yes. Changfeng, is your company hiring? If you’re hiring, I’d like to co too."
Once the topic was brought up, everyone else joined in.
After all, farming in the village barely covered the family’s basic expenses for a year, leaving nothing much. It would be better to follow Jiang Changfeng for a venture outside and perhaps earn big money.
Jiang Changfeng heard the villagers’ inquiries and explained with a smile, "Whether our company is hiring isn’t the main concern. Going to Xiangcheng requires a visa. Without a visa, you can’t go there."
At that ti, Xiangcheng hadn’t returned yet, so going there was equivalent to going abroad.
"A visa? In that case, let’s forget it. We’ll stay ho and farm honestly," the villagers said, discouraged by the idea of needing a visa.
Back when the educated youths returned to the city, even getting a certificate was difficult; going to Xiangcheng would certainly be harder.
They had only casually asked, and since they couldn’t go, they quickly switched to the next topic, starting to shower complints on a few others.
Everyone in the village already knew about Jiang Mianmian skipping a grade.
"Mianmian, you’re taking the college entrance exam this year, right? Work hard and bring glory to our Stone Bridge Village."
"Yes, Mianmian, whether our Stone Bridge Village can have a college graduate depends on your upcoming exam."
"Exactly, Mianmian can definitely do it. She’s the top scorer in the Yang City entrance exam."
"Of course! People always say, like father, like son. With excellent parents like Changhai and his wife, Mianmian will definitely excel in the future."
"Certainly. Changhai and his wife are smart. Wanyu relied on herself to work in the city governnt; that’s impressive. Mianmian has inherited all their strengths and will surely be even more impressive."
Once soone started, others followed suit in praising Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu.
Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu felt truly delighted that everyone believed in their daughter’s potential to get into college.
What did that an?
It ant that their daughter’s intelligence and brilliance were recognized and acknowledged by everyone!
A group of people chatted inside the house, and gradually, neighbors from farther away ca over to visit.
Several young wives brought their children to play. After letting them wish the elderly couple a Happy New Year, they pulled their children over to Jiang Mianmian. Rubbing their hands with a hint of flattery, they said, "Mianmian, you’re like the Wenqu Star from the heavens. Touch your little brother’s head, so he can gain so of your wisdom and beco a college student in the future."
