The pot is cleaned up, everything is ready, just waiting for the team leader to deliver the duck.

"Knock knock knock!"

The door knocked, and Xiao Chenxing’s eyes lit up. She quickly ran over to open the door.

Muttering under her breath, she complained that the team leader was too slow, "You’re so slow, by the time you arrived, the cooked duck would’ve flown away."

Once the door opened, Xiao Chenxing was dumbfounded. The person standing there was probably, maybe, a bit unfamiliar.

But looking at the outfit, it was clearly the postman.

Could it be...

The thought crossed her mind, and Xiao Chenxing suddenly panicked. She shouted into the house, "Sis-in-law, save me!

Hurry out, I can’t handle this!"

Oh my, her heart was pounding in her chest, she simply couldn’t calm down!

Wen Ran, not knowing the situation, thought perhaps unlucky Xiao Chenxing had been stabbed at home.

She rushed out in a panic, only to find out it was all a misunderstanding.

Wen Ran: "..."

She glared at Xiao Chenxing, the silly girl, turning her into a clown.

The postman indeed came to deliver the college acceptance letters.

And it wasn’t just one, but a total of four.

Oh my goodness, it seems the Xiao ancestors must have exhausted their efforts underground, blessing all four college examination takers to be admitted.

Oh~

To be specific, there is another guest, Bao Wenxuan.

However, Bao Wenxuan probably got in on her own merit.

Even when she went to the countryside, she never stopped reading, doing it intermittently.

At the moment, the Xiao Family wasn’t thinking about Bao Wenxuan; they were just overwhelmed with joy.

They immediately gave the postman a very generous gift basket to share their family’s joy.

By the time the team leader came to deliver the duck, it turned out the duck feast might have to be postponed.

The Xiao family was in such a frenzy of happiness.

Xiao Chenxing was the most ecstatic.

She and Shen Yueyue were together, rolling on the ground, crawling and tussling.

Like two crazy women.

Hongguo tried to maintain some decorum, but her wandering eyes and constantly busy hands proved her loss of composure.

Wen Ran, however, stayed calm.

Because she knew, even if they didn’t get into university this time, it wouldn’t matter.

One day she’d get in, and passing on the first try meant no psychological pressure.

Seeing it this way, moving the whole family to Capital City was no longer a dream, but about to become a reality.

Xiao Chenxing, bawling, clung to Wen Ran, "Sis-in-law, do you know what?

I finally got rid of the bitterness in my heart. That shameless Li Yang still thinks he’s something special?!

Pfft!!!

It’s just going to college, as if no one else could go! Even if he went to college, he wouldn’t turn into a phoenix!

With a couple of feathers on his butt, he’s still just a wild mountain chicken! I don’t know what he’s so proud of.

Just wait, once I get the chance, I will slap my acceptance letter on his face."

It seems Xiao Chenxing was still full of resentment towards Li Yang’s blow.

It’s understandable when you think about it.

After all, Xiao Chenxing’s approach was already gentle.

If it were her...

Well, she wouldn’t say a word and just get to it!

Say whatever needs to be said after the deed is done.

Once isn’t enough, do it again whenever she thinks about it!

Wen Ran teased her, "I understand now, earlier you avoided studying like the plague, then you suddenly studied like crazy.

Turns out you had ulterior motives!"

"Exactly, that’s it."

Xiao Chenxing retorted indignantly, "A daughter of the Xiao family isn’t a coward?

Even if I don’t steam buns, I fight for dignity to make Li Yang open his eyes and not look down on me. It’s just college! Who can’t get in!"

Li Jing’an was already shocked. She knew the family had all taken the college entry exam, but she didn’t expect the passing rate to be so high!

Especially when in her impression, the family seemed happy and straightforward.

They really don’t seem connected to being cultured.

She mumbled, "Oh my God, I must be dreaming, right?!"

A family, four of them!

It’s not just Li Jing’an, even the Xiao family felt they were dreaming.

Mrs. Xiao was delirious with happiness, immediately fainted and lay on the floor for ten minutes, then got herself back up.

She ran into the house and brought out the Xiao ancestor’s tablets.

She wiped them with a clean towel, muttering her thanks.

Halfway through, Mr. Xiao barged in.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao, for a while, he awkwardly blurted out, "Wife, the cloth you’re using seems to be my foot towel."

Mrs. Xiao’s expression changed immediately, tossing the foot towel across the room.

She picked up a feather duster and started hitting him!

"I think you’re really crazy! Such a clean cloth, using it to wipe your feet!"

Crazy or not, at this point, it didn’t matter.

As for getting hit?

Better to run first.

The arrival of the team leader and his wife also joined in the Xiao family’s joy.

The evening meal was quite formal, and the feast was overwhelming.

Three ducks were chopped up and thrown directly into the pot to stew.

No one was talking about pairing it with any veggies anymore, just catching meat to eat, eating until they were sick of it, eating until they were about to vomit.

Even the team leader felt embarrassed.

He originally came with his wife to join the fun, just to have a couple of bites of side vegetables would have been fine.

But this situation made it awkward to eat, and awkward not to eat.

In the end, he closed his eyes and decided to dig in.

Honestly, once someone gets into college, they’re no longer the same as rural folks.

With Wen Ran, each meeting gets fewer and fewer,

Sitting together for a meal gets fewer and fewer.

Once they leave, who knows if they will meet again in this lifetime.

Just thinking about it makes one sad.

The team leader couldn’t say much, after all, he couldn’t let his reluctance force them to stay, could he?!

That would be nonsense.

The country and the city are worlds apart, not to mention Capital City, who wouldn’t want a better future, to strive and to fight for it?

The atmosphere was superb.

But following the good atmosphere came boundless solitude.

Everyone faced the three large animals at home with difficulty.

Chicken, duck, and goose could be slaughtered for meat.

But Hetao, Red Army, and Old Wolf couldn’t be touched.

Old Wolf’s situation was easy to handle.

If it comes down to it, just secretly open the cage before they leave and let it return to the mountain.

Red Army was also manageable, still a dog after all.

By then, find a luggage bag to carry him along, just make sure he behaves quietly, there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

But Hetao was truly a wolf, and had its pack on the mountain.

Taking it away wasn’t right, leaving it wasn’t right either.

Made people frustrated enough to pull their hair out.

Wen Ran was caught in a dilemma, and began to curse her space, unable to store living beings.
