After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 921 - 922: A Top Student Bound for College
"Mianmian is up. Are you hungry? Grandma cooked eggs for you." The old lady looked at her sleepy granddaughter, feeling incredibly soft-hearted.
The eggs in the old lady’s hands were specially cooked for her by several daughters-in-law. She ate only one, and divided the remaining ones among her three grandsons, each got one, and two were saved specifically for Jiang Mianmian.
"Thank you, Grandma. Happy Birthday! May you have this day every year, and may every year be like this day. Fortune as vast as the East Sea, and longevity like the South Mountain’s eternal pine." Jiang Mianmian ran over, hugged her grandmother’s waist, and softly wished her a happy birthday.
"Oh, my eldest granddaughter, such sweet words from this little Wenqu Star. Grandma will borrow your sweet mouth to live a long life." The old lady was so delighted by Jiang Mianmian, she affectionately stroked her head and face.
"Everyone listen up, this Little Top Scholar really has a way with words. Look at this child, she speaks like she writes, truly different from other kids."
"Exactly! That’s why she always ranks first in her exams. She’s even had her elementary school essays published in the newspaper. She’s no ordinary child."
The villagers helping cook in the kitchen all praised enviously.
Jiang Mianmian felt a bit embarrassed by the others’ praise. After staying in the kitchen for a while, she took the two warm eggs her grandmother gave her and ran outside to play with Zhiwen and Zhiwu.
This time for the old lady’s birthday banquet, Jiang Changhai, just like during Jiang Dashan’s previous birthday banquet, was collecting fish and shrimp from villagers at market price. It was just after nine, and villagers were already coming over with buckets and basins to deliver fish to the Jiang Family.
Jiang Changhai and his brothers were using their home scales to individually weigh them and pay. Both the kitchen and the yard were crowded with people, the atmosphere was very lively.
By around ten, as the banquet was about to start, people started arriving at the Jiang Family one after another.
Jiang Mianmian was holding a jar filled with water, inside was a loach that Jiang Changhai had taken from the fish delivered by villagers, and she, along with Zhiwen, Zhiwu, and Yuanbin, watched as the loach swam around.
Just after playing for a little while, Jiang Mianmian saw her third aunt’s maternal family arrive. She hadn’t even reacted yet when Zhiwen and Zhiwu beside her dashed out.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, you’re here!" Zhiwen excitedly jumped into the arms of the leading old lady, happily calling out.
Zhiwu ran to the kitchen and shouted, "Mom, Grandma and the others are here."
The daughters-in-law of the Jiang Family, busy inside, upon hearing this, quickly set their tasks aside and came out to greet them.
The men chatting in the main hall also came out to welcome their in-laws.
"Brother Jiang, Big Sister-in-law Jiang, it’s been years since we’ve seen each other, and you both still look so robust, that’s great," Grandma Sun warmly greeted the elderly couple.
"All good, very healthy. Sister Sun, you’ve come such a long way, you must be exhausted. Let’s go, let’s sit inside and chat," Zhang Guihua intimately pulled Grandma Sun’s arm, while Jiang Dashan invited the men from the Sun family as a group moved toward the house.
Soon after they got indoors, Zhao Xiaojuan and the old lady’s maternal family also arrived.
Since it wasn’t time to start the meal yet, they all sat in the main hall and chatted.
"Oh my, our Little Top Scholar has grown so charming! As soon as I saw her, I couldn’t help but be fond," Grandma Sun said with a face full of smiles, looking at Jiang Mianmian sitting beside the old lady.
"Indeed, I also really like this child. Mianmian is truly impressive; she starts high school this fall at such a young age. She’s definitely going to be a top college student in the future! Dear old sister, your Old Jiang family will surely rely on her to bring honor and glory," Zhao Xiaojuan’s mother, Grandma Zhao, also praised.
