After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 922 - 923: Smiling as a Tool Person
"Isn’t it? My granddaughter is like the little Wenqu Star coming down to earth. Ever since she started school, she’s been first in every exam. Both the teachers and the principal adore her. Just at that awards ceremony a few days ago, she received four hundred yuan in scholarships alone," Zhang Guihua boasted proudly, hugging Jiang Mianmian.
The people inside the room gasped in amazement when they heard about the four hundred yuan scholarship. It was more than what their entire family earned from farming the fields all year!
"Wow, elder sister, Mianmian is truly amazing, earning such a substantial scholarship for the family," Grandma Sun exclaimed in surprise.
"Ha ha, Aunt Sun, this scholarship is nothing. My daughter was the top scorer in the city this time, and several high schools in the city are competing to have her attend. City No. 2 High School even offered five hundred yuan in scholarships, waived her tuition and fees, and gives her a living allowance every month," Jiang Changhai bragged.
"Studying without paying fees and receiving a monthly allowance, academic excellence is truly appreciated. Schools are competing for her; it’s so impressive," Grandma Zhao remarked, looking at Jiang Mianmian with admiration and affection.
The others in the room didn’t treat Jiang Mianmian as just a child because of her young age. Instead, they respected her from the bottom of their hearts for her excellence and achievements in recent years.
Even Zhang Guihua’s parents no longer pinched her cheeks or treated her like before. Instead, they saw her as equal to or even above themselves from the bottom of their hearts.
In this era, rural people genuinely admire someone like Jiang Mianmian, a highly educated individual, even if she is only an eleven-year-old child.
Jiang Mianmian was nestled in the old lady’s arms. When faced with everyone’s praises, she maintained a polite smile, like a useful fixture.
With it being the busy farming season, Zhao Xiaojuan hadn’t returned to her parents’ home for a while. Grandma Zhao was delighted to see her little grandson, Yuanbin, next to Jiang Mianmian and happily picked him up to play with him.
After chatting in the house for a while, the banquet outside was ready, and Jiang Mianmian was called to the main table by Jiang Dashan again.
The Jiang family and other guests didn’t show any surprise at this. Jiang Mianmian’s excellence and capabilities merited her a seat at this table, dining with the most esteemed in the village.
As Jiang Mianmian continued to excel, more people wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Jiang family. The number of attendees at the old lady’s birthday banquet exceeded the previous event, necessitating eight full tables of guests.
Jiang Changhai generously bought over a hundred kilograms of meat. The birthday banquet was lavishly arranged, leaving guests thoroughly satisfied.
Throughout the entire banquet, the guests complimented Jiang Mianmian, the elderly couple, and Jiang Changhai’s wife. It was a truly lively and warm occasion.
The guests left satisfied, having eaten and talked to their heart’s content, happily returning home.
Women who usually maintained good relations with the Jiang family stayed behind to help clean up. Only after everything was tidied up did they take their bowls, plates, or benches home.
As Su Wanyu only had a two-day holiday, the next morning, after breakfast, the family prepared to return to town since she had work today.
"Grandpa, Grandma, we’re heading home now. I’ll come see you in a few days," Jiang Mianmian said, sitting on the front rack of the bicycle and waving energetically to the Jiang family members.
