70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 247: Restless

Su Heng asked Xu Mumu some questions about her studies and found that Xu Mumu had a very solid foundation, no wonder several professors wanted to take her as a student.

Bai Chengtai was always paying attention to Xu Mumu. This little girl carried herself with grace, and didn’t seem like a village girl at all. Could she be an educated youth sent to the countryside?

"Where are you from, little junior sister?" Bai Chengtai asked with a smile.

"I’m from the Red River Team. My home is not far away. Do you want to come and visit?" Xu Mumu said with a smile. These people were all important figures.

"I thought little junior sister was an educated youth sent here, knowing so much, but it turns out you are really from the village. The Red River Team sure nurtures people well." Bai Chengtai said, looking slightly surprised at Xu Mumu.

"It’s just that I read more books usually." Xu Mumu said with a smile.

"That’s still very impressive." Bai Chengtai said with satisfaction, looking at Xu Mumu. Although they had little contact with rural life, many of them have ancestors who were farmers.

Their understanding of rural areas was of backwardness and poverty, with much preference for sons over daughters.

Seeing someone like Xu Mumu, healthy and rosy, raised so well and knowing so many things, made them feel somewhat incredulous.

Looking at Xu Mumu like this, they became more interested in the Xu family.

The group sat for quite a while, and Professor Song was quite curious about the Xu family too. Previously, due to their status, they couldn’t visit the Xu family to avoid inconvenience. Now it was different, since Xu Mumu was Yin Yang’s partner, it was appropriate to visit the Xu family both emotionally and logically.

They discussed and headed to the Xu family’s place, and Xu Mumu naturally welcomed them, leading them to the Xu house.

Upon arriving at the Xu family’s place, Li Caixia and others were already waiting there. These people were from the Imperial City.

"Caixia, how does this shirt look? Does it look good?" Xu Hai tried on the shirt his son bought him, thinking he can’t show shame in front of the leaders by wearing patched clothes.

"It looks good, everything you wear looks good." Li Caixia said perfunctorily, also taking out her new clothes to change into quickly.

When Xu Mumu returned with the group, she saw her family welcoming them warmly, all dressed in new clothes, their spirits high like it was New Year’s.

Xu Mumu introduced them to each other with a smile. Xu Minghui was also back home for holidays, and seeing guests at home, Old Xu pushed him out to meet them. Xu Minghui, as the eldest grandson in the family, and more reliable than his father, was a worker in the city, naturally, he was the most suitable to entertain these people.

Upon arriving at the Xu house, Bai Chengtai and others found it similar to other homes, but the children in this family were all studying, and doing quite well too. The level of awareness in Old Xu’s family was quite high, no wonder they could raise someone like Xu Mumu.

After returning home, Xu Mumu quietly put away the tape recorder in the room; it was best not to have such things visible in front of these people.

When she came out after tidying up, Professor Song and others were all seizing a chance to question the children, making Xu Mumu twitch at the corners of her mouth. Did these people really enjoy asking kids about their grades? Well, good grades were indeed a merit of these children.

"You’ve learned French and German too?" Bai Chengtai widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the numerous introductory books on French and German on the desk, which were clearly well-thumbed. As someone from the education bureau, he naturally recognized them.

"Yes, our big sister taught us, she’s the best." Little Xu Jiaojiao proclaimed proudly, pushing out her chest.

Su Heng was equally surprised. These children have learned quite a bit, having all finished elementary school, they are good prospects if they continue like this. The country still lacked talents genuinely proficient in these foreign languages.

Su Heng gave Xu Mumu a meaningful look, which village girl would learn such things? This Old Xu family was rather peculiar.

"Little junior sister has quite a broad learning scope." Su Heng looked at Xu Mumu with deep meaning, not only did she learn so much herself, but she also taught the children at home.

"It’s just a hobby, and they’re not difficult." Xu Mumu said earnestly, quietly building an academic genius persona for herself, learning quickly and easily, to avoid so much suspicion.

"Yes, Mumu is very smart, she learns quickly." Catching the signal from his grandson, Song Huaiyuan, although rolling his eyes internally, stood forward.

Su Heng nodded, glancing at Xu Mumu. Did Professor Song also know these foreign languages? He hadn’t heard of it.

Xu Mumu gratefully looked at Song Huaiyuan; otherwise, she might have been doubted by these skeptical people.

Suddenly, Xu Mumu felt that finding such a boyfriend could help cover for her quite a bit.

She glanced at Yin Yang, who was smiling brightly at her.

Xu Mumu smiled, accompanying them in conversation. Her parents were watched over by the older generation, so the two didn’t act too overtly, just somewhat obsequious.

Everyone in the team knew what the two were like, and even Professor Song and the others had heard a lot, so in response to their behavior, they remained calm.

The dinner was at the Xu house. Xu Mumu helped with cooking, and Madam Chen practically brought out the best of the house.

The dinner was very sumptuous, cooked personally by Qian Ying, since among the aunts, only Qian Ying was the best at culinary skills, filling two tables with dishes.

The Xu house was very lively that night, with Xu Mumu and Yin Yang sitting with the children, and the adults’ side was even more animated. If Bai Chengtai and others hadn’t stopped him, Xu Hai would have fetched two jugs of wine.

After dinner, Bai Chengtai and Su Heng planned to return to lodge at the county guesthouse.

"Mumu, is our family about to prosper?" Li Caixia exclaimed excitedly while holding Xu Mumu’s hand.

"Mom, what good thing are you hoping for?" Xu Mumu replied helplessly, her mother was overly excited today.

"Silly girl, look, Yin Yang’s situation has been cleared up, that guy is all about you. You must hold onto him tight, you’ll be a city resident in the future." Li Caixia felt her whole self was elevated, a month ago she was still worried about how Yin Yang’s family situation might affect Xu Mumu’s work.

Unexpectedly, the change came so quickly. Professor Song’s students were big officials in the Imperial City; though she didn’t understand it all, Song Huaiyuan had only Yin Yang as a relative. As long as Xu Mumu held onto Yin Yang, benefits would surely come.

Not only was Li Caixia restless, Old Xu’s family and even the whole team were feeling quite unsettled.

And the ones causing this unrest, Yin Yang and others, were in a great mood.

"We’ll soon leave here. I kind of can’t bear to," Shen Jingzhi said with some sentiment.
