Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Inconceivable

”She can’t leave right now, and besides, there’s no need,” Meng Xinian’s brows furrowed slightly and then relaxed. However, he himself was quite eager to meet the girl, curious to find out who had taught her martial skills.

His desire to transfer to Xinying District was also because the timetable there was more flexible.

As for whether the mission was dangerous or not, it was never within his range of concern.

”Then bring her to meet me,” Yang Zhiqi suggested again.

”She’s still young,” Meng Xinian rejected the idea with one sentence.

He had always wanted to protect her; how could he possibly bring her in front of these people? However, if Chiang Xiao truly had more skills than he had anticipated, then he wouldn’t need to be so tense.

Perhaps she really was the one perfect for him, possibly able to stand with him in another battle someday, those of Capital City.

Having said this, he strode away, leaving Yang Zhiqi cursing a few words involuntarily.

Still young?

And you engaged her while she’s still young?

When you were getting engaged, why didn’t you think she was too young then?

Chiang Xiao had been taking exams for two days and finally finished, which also signified the beginning of summer vacation!

She breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been waiting for the vacation to go to the provincial city, and now the day had finally come.

”Little, how do you think you did on the exams?” Liu Pei brought her a plate of stir-fried chestnuts. Although the chestnuts hadn’t sold as well as on the first day, the business was stable, with about thirty pounds sold each day, which she found quite satisfying.

These days were full of vigor.

Especially since she was not yet under the thumb of a mother-in-law, burdening her with endless troubles—she couldn’t be happier.

Ge Xiaotong’s pregnancy had also stabilized completely; her belly visibly grew larger each day, and her excitement about becoming a grandmother was growing closer, making her smile incessantly.

”It was alright, thank you, Aunt-In-Law,” Chiang Xiao said as she peeled a chestnut. Hmm, the chestnuts Uncle had been stir-frying were getting more delicious; it seemed he really had a gift.

As Chiang Xiao enjoyed the chestnuts, Liu Pei spoke again: ”Little, they are going up the mountain tomorrow, are you going too?”

She hadn’t been allowed to go before because her final exams were coming up.

However, Liu Pei felt that whenever Chiang Xiao joined them, they found an especially large haul.

Right now, she was worried about running out of chestnuts to sell. She wished Chiang Xiao could find them more things to sell.

”Tomorrow?” Chiang Xiao felt a surge of interest, ”I’ll go.”

She had the desire to venture into the mountains. Since her last discovery of chestnuts, Chiang Xiao occasionally thought that hunting for treasures in the mountains was quite rewarding. Plus, she hadn’t yet released the large python from her Space back into the wilderness.

”Then I’ll prepare a more substantial lunch for you tomorrow,” Liu Pei declared excitedly before leaving.

However, Chiang Xiao couldn’t make it to Bai Gu Mountain the next day because the town’s middle school managed to finish grading her exam overnight, with results so astonishing that everyone was shocked!

The papers of other students hadn’t been graded yet, but the teachers selected the paper of their class’s top student, one who usually scored the highest in all the major and minor exams, to grade first—and Chiang Xiao’s total score was seven points higher!

”Incredible! Truly incredible!” Principal Chu repeated after seeing the results. The teachers involved in the grading also found it hard to believe.

If there were no surprises, could a little girl who jumped two grades become their top student?

”How was the first-year paper?” Principal Chu asked.

The one asked was Yu Chunyu.

She was still in shock, hardly believing that Chiang Xiao could achieve such great results.
