70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 215: Graduation Is Coming

"Mr. Xu, why did those police officers come over, what exactly is the matter?" Zhao Guodong looked at Old Xu and asked.

"Captain, do you still remember the big landlord from the Red Star Team?" Old Xu took a puff of his tobacco leaf, feeling extremely good now that the house had those things, ensuring the marriages of his several grandchildren.

"I remember, what about it? Does it have anything to do with the back mountain?" Zhao Guodong’s eyebrows twitched.

"He hid all his belongings under that cliff. Our family only discovered it by accident, so we contacted those people. Captain, don’t spread this around, that’s what the police officers said." Old Xu said seriously.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Xu, I won’t say a word. That landlord really hid his stuff far away, that cliff is so deep, how did you guys get down there?" Zhao Guodong asked curiously.

"There’s a cave over there where you can go down." Old Xu didn’t keep it a secret from Zhao Guodong anymore, since all the things inside had already been moved away.

When Zhao Guodong left the Old Xu Family, his feelings were quite complicated. He hadn’t expected the Old Xu Family to have such good luck.

In the following days, Xu Mumu went to school for the last final exam. Most people in the classroom were quite excited, as they would receive their high school diplomas after the exams, enabling them to look for jobs, earn their own money, and spend it however they wanted, free from adult control.

Seeing the class’s longing for society, Xu Mumu smiled faintly. Once they were out there, they would realize that society wasn’t so easy to navigate. Jobs were harder than studying, and without the skills to hold a steady job, life would be tight. Plus, in the future, many companies might go bankrupt, and those without skills or connections would be the first to face layoffs.

Not many in the class took studying seriously. Although the job market required many skills not learned in the classroom, it was still tough to find a job without genuine knowledge and ability.

"Mumu, why are you looking at them?" Du Yu moved his chair a bit closer to Xu Mumu.

"It’s nothing, just feeling like time flies. We’re about to graduate." Xu Mumu said with a smile. Time truly had flown by. In just a year, she had adapted to this world, which was much easier than surviving those months in the apocalypse.

"Mumu, when will you come to the shoe factory? My mom misses you." Du Yu was eager to graduate, so when Xu Mumu joined the shoe factory, he could also have his dad arrange a spot for him.

"In a week, I just want to take a good rest." Xu Mumu smiled, feeling a bit worn out from daily studying and wanting a break.

"Alright, you’ve given your word. I’ll go home and tell my mom." Du Yu said with a beaming smile.

"Sure, thank Mrs. Qin for me." Xu Mumu packed her books into her backpack, ready for the exam.

"No problem. Oh, by the way, Mumu, I’ve been craving those mushrooms you sent last year." Du Yu looked at Xu Mumu expectantly.

"Chicken fungus, huh? There aren’t many growing now. Once on break, I’ll have my siblings walk around the mountains more, and if they find any, we’ll send them to you." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile.

"I’ve got pocket money, and I won’t take it for free. I’ll pay for them." Du Yu whispered. In those days, only supply and marketing cooperatives and state-run restaurants could openly buy and sell items—others selling would be considered undermining socialism.

"It’s just a small thing, consider it a thank you gift for helping me with the job." Xu Mumu shook her head.

"I’d feel bad, you said last year that your siblings still want to make money with those." Du Yu was a bit embarrassed.

"You all don’t eat that much, and there are plenty of mushrooms on the mountain. It’s fine." Xu Mumu said unconcernedly.

"Alright." Du Yu pursed his lips, deciding to give Xu Mumu some of the candies at home when she brought over the mushrooms, letting her take them back for her siblings.

Sometimes, Du Yu envied Xu Mumu. Her family was packed with siblings, always lively, while in his family, he was an only child. His dad had no siblings, and though his mom had a brother, he and his cousin weren’t frequently together.

Soon, the proctor came, and Du Yu returned to his seat, ready for the exam.

The last final exam wasn’t difficult and was even somewhat easy. Looking at the paper, Xu Mumu smiled faintly, picked up her pen, and started answering quickly.

Two days flew by, and as she emerged from the exam hall, Xu Mumu stretched her back, ready for graduation and her diploma.

"Mumu, let’s go." Du Yu had already left the classroom with his backpack. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xu Mumu nodded, and together they left the classroom, heading over to the primary school, where the little ones had also just finished their exams.

"How did you do?" Xu Mumu asked, looking at them. This term, she hadn’t pressured them much into studying, but they were self-disciplined enough, something she was satisfied with.

"I’m sure I’m first again." Xu Jiaojiao sighed. Being invincible was so lonely.

Xu Mumu twitched the corner of her mouth, "Alright, alright, you have the right to be proud."

Xu Jiaojiao always ranked first, which everyone had gotten used to. Xu Minglei and the others occasionally managed to tie with Xu Jiaojiao for first, which was a good progress.

"Do you still remember what questions they gave you?" Xu Mumu asked with a smile. The kids were about to enter junior high, and if their scores were good, there was a middle school in the county that was just like those experimental middle schools in the future. She wanted them to go to that school.

"So simple, of course, I remember. Big sister, I knew all of them." Xu Jiaojiao immediately replied.

"Alright, I’ll check your answers when we get back." Xu Mumu nodded, knowing Xu Jiaojiao had a good memory.

Once home, Xu Mumu recreated the exam questions and checked their answers, gauging their exam results. She knew those kids always occupied the top few spots in class.

This was the final exam, and they were quite meticulous, with only minor mistakes. Getting into that better junior high was no problem at all.

They had already started learning English in advance, using a cassette player every day, never falling behind on English. This would be an enormous advantage for them in junior high.

Since the little ones’ grades were dependable, Xu Mumu relaxed completely. Their grades were excellent, and even with slight errors, they would surely score well.
