"Big sis, don’t worry. That knowledge is not difficult; we can definitely adapt." Xu Jiaojiao said with a smile, used to skipping grades anyway.

"Forget it, as long as you all know what you’re doing." Seeing the kids so full of confidence, she didn’t want to dampen their spirits. Their self-assuredness was quite nice, maintaining this state was good.

"Definitely know what we’re doing, hehe." Tiedan said smilingly. He felt really grateful to Xu Mumu. If not for his good relationship with Xu Minglei, Xu Mumu wouldn’t have taught him so much. Every exercise book sent back home would always include one for him alongside Xu Jiaojiao’s.

The matter of the kids skipping grades was thus settled, and the family was quite pleased.

Lately, the family has been busy. The date for Brother and his future sister-in-law’s wedding was set for late July. It’s close to July during the kids’ vacation time, and the family is busy preparing for Xu Minghui’s wedding.

Xu Mumu didn’t need to help with these things. She watched her parents prepare various wedding items every day. They planned to host it in the provincial capital, and Yin Yang offered up a large restaurant from the Yin Family for the occasion.

Besides the Xu family’s relatives and friends, there were also all sorts of relatives from the Jiang family to be invited, making quite a crowd. Their house couldn’t accommodate so many people; it’s not as spacious as the countryside.

So, the guest banquet would also be held at Yin Yang’s restaurant. Originally, Yin Yang planned to provide everything for free, but Xu Minghui refused. He had saved up quite a bit of money, and this was his wedding. It didn’t make sense to let the brother-in-law pay, and he could afford it.

Yin Yang didn’t say much more, only charged a symbolic material fee. They’re family, and his mother-in-law took great care of him, so he didn’t mind.

Xu Mumu watched her parents and brother bustle about every day, even her grandparents and brother were busy.

Grandparents went to the store daily; despite the heat, business was still good.

As for Xu Minglei, he had to help watch the small shop, read textbooks, using Xu Mumu’s high school materials. Xu Jiaojiao and the others found their own textbooks at the recycling station.

Xu Mumu had made many notes on the high school textbooks and left notes for each subject, which Xu Minglei meticulously studied.

Living a life nurturing a child, Xu Mumu played with her little brother daily and helped at the small shop. The brother could ask her whenever he ran into something he didn’t understand.

Seeing Xu Minglei so focused on his studies, Xu Mumu ate an apple and felt that she had greatly influenced her younger siblings.

"Minglei, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? What major to study at university?" Xu Mumu asked with her chin resting on her hand, not wanting the kids to just follow her blindly in everything.

"Sis, I want to attend the National Defense University, I’ve already made a pact with Tiedan." Xu Minglei spoke about his dream, eyes shining brightly. He heard about it from a classmate whose brother studied there, learning of the school’s existence for the first time. He had listened to many of Uncle Liu’s stories from childhood, and he yearned for life in the military.

Xu Mumu was slightly stunned, not expecting this answer. She knew that previously, all the kids’ dreams had been Hua University, where she attended.

But now, the little guy’s dream had changed, becoming loftier. It made Xu Mumu reflect, seeing her brother grow and develop his own opinions, no longer just imitating her.

"Then you all must work hard; National Defense University’s standards are high." Xu Mumu said after a moment of silence.

"Don’t worry, sis, we know what we’re doing. We’ve already asked around." Xu Minglei said with a smile.

"Why did you decide to apply to National Defense University?" Xu Mumu asked out of curiosity. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Xu Minglei shared his school experiences with Xu Mumu, eyes full of longing for the National Defense University.

Xu Mumu didn’t say how good or bad the National Defense University was. Once her brother had the ability to get in, he’d know for himself. Anything she said was just what she knew from her past life, and she was unsure of the state of the National Defense University now.

Besides, they’re not kids anymore; making their own choices means being responsible for their own futures.

"National Defense University is not that simple; you two are quite young and might struggle to adapt." Xu Mumu said gently.

"Sis, I understand. We’ll definitely manage."

"Then keep it up; ask me if you have any questions." Xu Mumu gave her brother a deep look, realizing he’s grown up.

She thought it’s quite nice like this. The strict management at National Defense University is much stricter than other schools. If her brother proves capable enough to join the military, it’d be a good choice.

Talking with her brother made Xu Mumu reflect quite a bit. Her parents didn’t understand these things, so she shared them with Yin Yang.

Yin Yang didn’t think much of it, just felt the little brother-in-law was quite thoughtful. If he really joined the military, it’d be a good place to go. Compared to entering bureaucracy, it’s easier, more fair for those without backgrounds.

Listening to Yin Yang analyze the pros and cons, Xu Mumu felt that perhaps the military offered a good opportunity for her brother.

She no longer focused on the matter. The little guy had his dreams and knew how to pursue them, not needing her to worry.

The brother’s wedding chamber at home was completely set up. Frankly, her mom’s taste wasn’t great, looking tacky in Xu Mumu’s eyes. Besides being festive, nothing else was noticeable.

Anyway, Li Caixia was very satisfied with her decorated bridal chamber, just waiting for the wedding day. Xu Mumu also began to anticipate it.

Xu Minghui felt a bit tense as the wedding day approached.

The house couldn’t accommodate so many people; relatives from the old home would come over on the wedding day itself.

Those coming from the Xu family included several uncles and aunts, the granduncle’s family, the team leader, and the Li family. Also, two aunt’s families, an aunt’s home, and various attendees summed up to quite a few.

This was when inviting guests in town, limiting the number. If hosting in the countryside, far more people would attend as practically the whole team shows up.

The day of Xu Minghui’s wedding quickly arrived, and Xu Mumu was woken up early by Yin Yang.
