The old man had spoken, so the two of them didn’t dare to express more even if they were concerned.
Now seeing the old lady letting her two sons stay ho to play with Mianmian, the old man didn’t object. They suddenly felt very grateful to Jiang Mianmian.
They even wished that Jiang Mianmian could stay in the village for the whole sumr vacation.
After the Jiang family mbers washed their hands and faces in the courtyard, they went inside to busy themselves with cooking.
After they finished eating and were preparing to take a nap, a few neighbors who had good relations with the Jiang Family arrived, leading their children and carrying books.
"Guihua honey, what are you busy with?" Old Lady Wu asked with a cheerful smile after entering the house.
"Nothing much, just finished eating and was thinking of taking a nap. It’s midday, how co you’re not sleeping?" Zhang Guihua asked with a smile, looking at the group.
They glanced at Jiang Mianmian, who was reading at the side, and smiled flatteringly: "Guihua honey, actually we ca over this ti because we wanted to discuss sothing with you."
"What’s the matter?"
"Well, we saw our Stone Bridge Village’s Little Top Scholar has returned and wanted her to tutor our children. Our child’s grades have dropped many ranks this sester and are at risk of being at the bottom. We are really worried, but as you know, we can’t read, even if we want to teach we can’t. We were hoping Mianmian could help teach our children. Do you think it’s feasible?" Old Lady Wu asked politely, trying to flatter.
"Aunt Guihua, I’d also like Mianmian to teach my child." One person spoke up, and several other neighbors with the sa intention also chid in.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua imdiately frowned: "Sister-in-law Wu, Xiao Li, if it were sothing else, we could discuss it, but regarding this, there’s really no room for negotiation. You know how diligently Mianmian studies. She worked late into the night every day to prepare for high school exams, and over ti, her little face beca thin from exhaustion. Now that she finally has a sumr holiday, her parents and I just want the child to have a nice break, because once high school starts, there won’t be any ti to relax."
When Jiang Changhai sent Mianmian over, he had already ntioned not wanting Jiang Mianmian to tutor the town’s neighbors’ children. He couldn’t have imagined that even after bringing her here, people would still co knocking.
But now the old lady truly cherishes Jiang Mianmian; she stands firm with Jiang Changhai and his wife, wanting the child to properly rest during the holiday. She’s still young and shouldn’t be overworked.
In response to Zhang Guihua, the villagers were sowhat unwilling to give up: "Guihua honey, we know you love your granddaughter, but we just want to use a little of Mianmian’s ti. It won’t be long."
Regarding Jiang Mianmian, Zhang Guihua’s stance was exceptionally resolute: "No way, a little ti from you, a little ti from her, going back and forth, Mianmian would end up teaching children all day long."
Seeing her firm attitude, the villagers could only leave disappointedly with their children.
Watching her grandma ’slaughter her way through,’ protecting herself well and not letting her beco the village’s tutor, Jiang Mianmian happily jumped onto her grandma’s back and sweetly said, "Grandma, you’re the best."
She definitely didn’t want to spend this rare sumr holiday leading a group of mischievous kids.
The old lady hugged Jiang Mianmian in return, lovingly swaying her: "Oh my, grandma’s eldest granddaughter, who else would grandma treat well if not you? One by one they want to take advantage of my granddaughter. That’s out of the question!"
