Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1017: Study in the Capital

She would get up every morning to practice boxing, considering it her exercise routine.

After speaking, she hurried to the restroom, changed her clothes, and went out.

Ge Liutao watched her leave with a puzzled expression, ”Why didn’t I even hear Little come to use the bathroom this morning?”

She had woken up early today, so she should have heard any noise.

Chiang Songhai shook his head, ”Probably the kids didn’t want to disturb us and deliberately kept quiet.”

By the time Meng Xinian got up, Chiang Xiao had already gone to school.

He didn’t usually sleep this late, but he always felt especially good sleeping in Little’s bed, as if his body would automatically adjust to rest in the optimal state before his biological clock would wake him up.

He woke up feeling refreshed, relaxed all over.

There was a note left by Chiang Xiao on the bedside table. Meng Xinian picked it up, read it, and couldn’t help laughing.

This little girl was aligning their stories, not letting him reveal the truth about sneaking in by picking the lock last night, insisting it was this morning when she knocked on the door and came in.

When he left the room, he still recounted the events as Little had said.

He had arrived only in the morning, so he had only slept in her room for about three or four hours, half of which Little wasn’t even there.

That was better than having spent the whole night with her, which would have been more awkward.

”Xinian, come have breakfast, I’ve kept the steamed buns warm for you, meat-filled buns.”

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were making snacks.

”These snacks aren’t ready yet, but they’ll be available for lunch.”

”Thank you, grandparents, I’ll start with the meat buns; I’ve always craved the ones grandma makes.”

”I made eight, is that enough?” His comment made Ge Liutao feel she had made too few. He’s a big guy, and he had been out for so long; of course, he needed a good meal, it’s normal to have a big appetite.

”It’s enough. It’s already past nine. It won’t be long before lunch, and eating too much isn’t good.”

Meng Xinian loved to visit here during his holidays. Seeing Chiang Xiao was his main reason, but Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were very kind to him, making him feel warm and relaxed.

They were genuinely kind and honest people who truly treated him like family.

Chiang Xiao also came home for lunch, but usually, she didn’t rush with her classmates. When the bell rang, everyone would rush out like monkeys, while she would go over the last lesson in her mind, slowly pack her bag, and then leave.

However, today, as soon as she stepped out, she was called to the office by Liu Guoying.

Remembering someone’s reminder from last night that she should come home early for lunch, Chiang Xiao sighed.

It seemed she wouldn’t be able to hurry back.

”Teacher, couldn’t you have found me during the break? Talking about this now, aren’t you hungry? The teacher’s wife must be getting impatient.”

Chiang Xiao felt more and more comfortable joking with Liu Guoying.

Now, Teacher’s wife, Cheng Qiulian, was also treating her better and better; they didn’t have children and treated her as if she were their own daughter.

Liu Guoying glared at her, ”Stop mouthing off at me!”

What impatience?

They were an old married couple!

This audacious girl really dared to say anything.

”Alright, alright, I won’t speak lightly, I’ll speak richly, okay?” Chiang Xiao raised her hand and blinked, asking, ”Teacher, what did you need to see me for?”

”Two things! Or you could say it’s one thing!”

Speaking richly...

Liu Guoying felt like knocking her on the head, ”One is from our class; our school has six spots to go study for a month at a high school in Capital City. Apparently, their last cohort had ten students who got into Capital City University, so, Principal Fu really went through a lot of effort to secure this. Each grade, freshman, sophomore, and senior, will send two students, and from the sophomores, it will be you and He Lai from class three.”
