70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 379: Too Excited to Sleep

Li Caixia couldn’t care less about the presence of outsiders and directly started excitedly talking about her daughter’s great achievements. She actually wished to tell everyone present.

Xu Minghui listened to the entire process and learned about his sister’s capabilities. Xu Minghui had immense admiration for his sister, as she was truly formidable, and he never imagined her inventions could receive national awards.

"Mom, Mumu now has an apartment in the Imperial City. Mumu invented a small thing that’s said to be very useful, and the country awarded her a house and a significant amount of money. Mumu wants us to celebrate the New Year in the Imperial City," Li Caixia enthusiastically said, ensuring those outside heard her.

"A house in the Imperial City? Is it big?" Madam Chen and Old Xu’s eyes lit up; the house was naturally better than before.

"It’s a large courtyard. I don’t know exactly what a courtyard house is, but we’ll see it when we visit for the New Year. Mumu says the house is big enough for each of us to have our own room," Li Caixia excitedly explained.

"Old Xu Family, are you boasting? Enough rooms for everyone, just how big is that house?" an envious old woman outside said, with some disbelief. The Old Xu Family has so many members, with a bunch of grandkids. A lot of people are envious.

"My daughter never lies to me, huh. When we visit for the New Year, my future son-in-law has a camera, and we’ll show you photos," Li Caixia boasted proudly.

"Exactly, our Mumu has been good since she was small and never lies," Madam Chen quickly chimed in, unable to tolerate others doubting her granddaughter.

People are envious of her successful grandchildren; every time she goes out, she hears their sour words.

"Old Xu Family, really awarded money too?" a woman about Li Caixia’s age said enviously, wondering what good deed Caixia did in her past life to have such a successful daughter. Meanwhile, thinking of her own dull daughter, she could only be envious.

The national award money must be significant. It’s said when Xu Mumu got the top province score, the provincial city gave money, hundreds at least, and now a house award means the money must also be substantial.

They too should encourage their schooling kids to strive for that money.

"Of course, it’s several thousand. In a few days, our Mumu is going to buy us clothes. Ah, I haven’t even worn the clothes she bought the last few times, yet she’s buying more. When she comes back, I’ll have to talk to her about spending so lavishly," Li Caixia boasted with a smile, filled with pride.

Li Caixia felt herself standing taller; if her daughter were home, she’d want to embrace and kiss her dearly.

After getting the call, on the way back, Li Caixia couldn’t resist boasting about her daughter to everyone she knew. By the time they got home, nearly everyone nearby knew how remarkable the Xu Family’s scholar was. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

At night, Li Caixia was too excited to fall asleep, and Xu Hai was much the same. Today’s news was thrilling, more so than finding a treasure last time.

"Tomorrow at work, I need to tell my colleagues about this. Just recently, some were bragging about how accomplished their sons were in front of me. Humph, none are as accomplished as our Mumu," Li Caixia said to Xu Hai.

"Indeed, you should. I’ll do the same at our factory, telling those young men in our workshop to learn from our Mumu," Xu Hai said happily.

"That’s smart of you. By the way, I expect people will try matchmaking for our Mumu again soon, but don’t go agreeing to any nonsense," Li Caixia reminded after some thought.

"Don’t worry, I know. Who could compare to Yin Yang? They’re nothing; they couldn’t even buy a house next door to us," Xu Hai boasted, as the Old Xu Family was quite pleased with Yin Yang.

Xu Hai especially, since Yin Yang was wealthy, treated their daughter well, and was good-looking. Such a catch is rare indeed.

"Exactly. Oh, how about we visit the hometown next week? It’s been a while since we’ve been back, and I miss them," Li Caixia said with a smile.

"I miss everyone too. I wonder how the second and fourth brothers are doing, and if the elder uncle’s family is well," Xu Hai grinned, eager to return home and boast.

"Next week we’ll visit, bringing Dad, Mom, Minghui, and Minglei," Li Caixia decisively said.

If not for having to work the next day, she’d want to return immediately.

The next morning, everyone in the Old Xu Family had dark circles under their eyes, looking like they hadn’t slept well, though their spirits were high.

Xu Mumu wasn’t sure what her family was up to, but she had some guesses. Knowing her parents’ nature, without them going out to boast, they’d feel suffocated. They couldn’t keep things to themselves.

On school days, Xu Mumu was rather relaxed. Soon, the academic exchange meeting was confirmed. Their class selected two, and two were selected from other disciplines. These people had been evaluated by Professor Song for solid foundations.

The weather gradually became cooler, often drizzly. Huo Qingze had already come up with the folding umbrella design, so Xu Mumu carried an umbrella in her bag every day.

The folding umbrella was well-received, folding small and taking up little space, easily fitting into a small bag. Now many girls carry umbrellas daily, as you never know when it might rain.

Su Yue’e gathered her things and headed to the office. The dean gave her a lot of work today; her hard work last semester hadn’t gone unnoticed. The dean often assigned her tasks and taught her many things.

This fulfilling learning experience was something she truly enjoyed.

"Mumu, want to go to the lab together?" Su Yue’e approached Xu Mumu, somewhat puzzled. This semester, Mumu hardly seemed to visit the lab.

"No, I have to go to the library," Xu Mumu shook her head. With no classes for the next two periods, though Yin Yang had a class, she planned to read in the library, then meet Yin Yang after school.

"Alright then, I’m off," Su Yue’e waved at Mumu. Though they weren’t close friends yet, Mumu at least acknowledged her, which felt good enough to Su Yue’e.

After Su Yue’e left, Xu Mumu packed up her things and headed to the library.
