After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 896 - 897: Wanting to Ask Mianmian for a Favor
"Oh dear, Changhai, you’re really too polite. Mianmian is the pride of Stone Bridge Village, and it’s only right for us to support her at the recognition event. Look at you, going to all this trouble."
"Yes, Changhai, you’re being too polite."
Although the villagers spoke modestly, their actions were sincere. They came out early, walked a long distance, and had been watching for half an hour. Naturally, they were feeling hot and thirsty.
Seeing the box emitting coolness, they cheerfully went to get popsicles.
The people in the village were mostly simple and honest. Even though there were expensive sodas in the box, they chose the cheapest popsicles.
Only a few thick-skinned ones took a popsicle and, dissatisfied, stood by the box, wanting to pick a bottle of expensive soda.
Jiang Changhai saw this but wasn’t too concerned.
However, the village chief sternly reprimanded, "What are you guys rummaging for? Take your popsicle and go eat it on the side."
Those few standing there picking items were blocking others, quite embarrassing.
The few picking soda were scolded but didn’t feel embarrassed; they sheepishly stepped back.
Though a bit disappointed about not getting soda, enjoying a free popsicle was nice.
They laughed and said, "Got it, village chief, we’re going."
After speaking, they took their popsicles and ran to the shade to eat.
Jiang Changhai handed the soda he had prepared to the village chief and secretary, smilingly saying, "Chief, don’t be upset. Have some soda to cool off."
"Thanks, Changhai." The village chief took the cold soda, drank a sip, and sighed comfortably.
"Chief, secretary, I heard from my parents that because of Mianmian’s recognition event, you even gave the villagers half a day off. Thank you." Jiang Changhai expressed gratitude.
The two were pleased to see Jiang Changhai being thankful.
The village chief patted Jiang Changhai’s shoulder and said delightedly, "Changhai, you’re too polite, no need to thank. We’ve watched Mianmian grow up; she’s achieved success now, and we’re really happy for her."
"Yes, having a Little Prodigy from Stone Bridge Village is not easy. As village officials, of course, we must show support for Mianmian." The secretary affirmed.
Jiang Changhai directly bought out all the popsicles, ice cream, and drinks from the stall outside the school. After the villagers took what they wanted, there were a few popsicles left, and Zhang Guihua distributed them to the Jiang family to avoid waste.
Once they finished their popsicles and saw the time, they contently returned to the village.
Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu also led the four children home.
Shortly after arriving, a group of unfamiliar neighbors brought kids and gifts to visit.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Su, you’re both home." Sister Xu, full of smiles, asked while accompanying the children.
"Oh, Sister Xu, we just got back. Come in." Su Wanyu hurriedly invited.
Sister Xu sat on the sofa, glanced around the room, and not seeing Jiang Mianmian, asked concernedly, "Xiao Su, how come I didn’t see Mianmian?"
Su Wanyu replied, "Mianmian went out to play with her brother and friends, so she’s not home. Is there something you need her for, Sister Xu?"
"Haha, yes, I have a little favor to ask Mianmian. Xiao Su, I’m actually here to see if Mianmian can tutor my child a bit. You see, the kid isn’t slow, usually very clever, but during exams, their results are always at the bottom of the class, just like Wang Li. After Wang Li stayed at your place for two vacations, this semester he scored sixth place. I think my child also needs guidance from Mianmian, the Little Prodigy." Sister Xu smiled somewhat pleadingly as she explained her purpose.
