70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 260: A Sense of Crisis

The few of them were complimenting each other here, making Xu Jiang and his wife seem like outsiders.

"Minghui, what school did you apply to?" Du Yu asked Xu Minghui curiously, reaching out to place his hand into the palm of young Xu Mingfeng.

"Shengjiang Science and Technology University, what about you?" Xu Minghui, holding his younger brother, was curious about which school Du Yu had chosen.

"Hehe, I chose a school in another province, Southwest Science and Technology University." Du Yu chuckled. Now going to college, he didn’t want to be under his parents’ watch; he wanted to go somewhere far to enjoy himself.

The university Xu Minghui chose was local, and since Xu Mumu and the others were looking for a house in the provincial city, they naturally looked for one near Xu Minghui’s university.

"Going that far with no one to look out for you?" Xu Minghui glanced at Du Yu speechlessly. This guy must be crazy.

"You don’t understand, being far away is great, no one can control me." Du Yu said smugly.

When filling out applications, Qin Jie had glanced at him several times, wanting him to change his choice, but it was Du Zhen who spoke for him, allowing him to fill out the current preference.

After all, their son was grown up, and it was time for him to venture out and see how harsh the world could be. They couldn’t protect Du Yu forever.

"Suit yourself." Being told this by Du Yu, Xu Minghui felt a twinge of envy, but it was just a brief moment. He couldn’t be as carefree as Du Yu, he didn’t have the money to squander until graduation. In college, he had to think of ways to earn money himself. He knew his sister’s plans.

His parents probably won’t be able to save any money, and he would have to figure out tuition fees on his own.

When his sister returned, he would need her advice.

Moreover, as the eldest son in the family, he needed to take care of it in the future.

"Why are you thinking of moving to the provincial city? I won’t be able to find you in the future." Du Yu was a bit upset, as they were going to university, they would each go their separate ways. Thinking about it made him a bit sentimental.

"We have money now." Xu Minghui gave Du Yu a look, he couldn’t possibly tell this silly boy his sister’s plans.

"Really." The corner of Du Yu’s mouth twitched, well, he couldn’t argue with that reason.

"When you move, be sure to tell me. I’ll help you move and get to know the way, so I can find your home in the future." Du Yu said with a smile.

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget you." Xu Minghui said with a smile. Free labor being offered, of course, he had to make good use of it.

Seeing that the people in the big family weren’t paying attention to them, Xu Jiang and his wife felt awkward and went to the second family. The second family was more amiable and easier to get along with than the eldest brother’s family.

"I didn’t expect Xue to be accepted into a top university. I always knew you’d be the most promising." Lin Juan affectionately tried to hold Xu Xue.

"Not as good as elder sister." Xu Xue quietly withdrew her hand from her third aunt’s grasp. She didn’t like her third aunt, who used to not only dislike Li Caixia but also looked down on her mom and fourth aunt. Now, trying to forge good relations was too late.

Lin Juan’s expression stiffened, this stubborn girl was just as unpleasant as Xu Mumu.

"Third sister-in-law, why hasn’t Dongbao returned?" Seeing Lin Juan’s expression darken, Qian Ying quickly changed the topic. She felt very proud now, with both her daughters being so praised when they walked out, no wonder the elder sister-in-law liked it so much.

"Dongbao is at home studying." Lin Juan’s expression got even more awkward. The children in the Old Xu Family had such good grades, but Dongbao didn’t like studying, spending his time playing and looking for food. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The children in the Old Xu Family were all so promising, they’d probably all become university students in the future. Dongbao was considering dropping out after primary school. Compared to the Old Xu Family, he would surely be overshadowed. Thinking of this, Lin Juan felt a lot of pressure and went home to force her son to study. He couldn’t be worse than the children from the Old Xu Family. Even if he couldn’t become a provincial top scorer, he had to at least get into a university.

"Wow, Dongbao actually studies, how amazing." Xu Wan said in surprise. Was this still the Dongbao she remembered?

Now that Xu Wan was in middle school and got along well with Xu Jiaojiao, she wasn’t as introverted as before.

"Third sister-in-law, Wanwan is young and doesn’t know better. Wanwan, go get some snacks for third aunt and them." Xu Xue’s mouth twitched. When did her sister become so sharp-tongued, stabbing them right in the heart?

"Got it, sister." Xu Wan was puzzled, why did third aunt’s face look upset again? Wasn’t it okay to tell the truth?

Xu Wan obediently went to get some food for the third family, leaving Lin Juan feeling awkward.

"Our Dongbao is inspired by seeing how well you all did and decided to study hard." Xu Jiang said dryly, he also felt a bit embarrassed. The gap between his son and the Old Xu Family’s children was really big. He was clearly the most accomplished among the Xu brothers, yet his son was the worst. This was unacceptable.

Now Xu Jiang and Lin Juan were aligned in their thoughts, urging their child to study. It would be quite embarrassing if Xu Dongbao remained only a primary school student.

At noon, Du Zhen and the third family stayed for lunch. Xu Hai even went to get some liquor, feeling quite happy.

Meanwhile, Xu Mumu and Yin Yang finally arrived at the provincial city. Xu Mumu’s face didn’t look too good, but she wasn’t carsick.

"Mumu, are you feeling better?" Yin Yang asked worriedly, holding a cup of water.

"I’m fine, much better after getting off the bus. Let’s go, you know the area well, and I’m hungry." Xu Mumu smiled and shook her head.

"Alright, let’s go eat at the State-run Restaurant. The bus station isn’t far from there." Yin Yang said with a smile.

The provincial city was much more bustling compared to the county town. Occasionally, there were cars driving by, which were rare in the county town.

When they arrived at the State-run Restaurant, it was still very crowded. They were lucky, as there was only one table left.

Xu Mumu casually ordered two dishes and a soup and started chatting with Yin Yang.

The State-run Restaurant was full, and the two of them, being good-looking, attracted quite a bit of attention.

Before long, their dishes arrived. Xu Mumu, already hungry, took a bite but was slightly disappointed. Compared to the food made by Master Yang, the skills were lacking.

"Don’t you like it?" Yin Yang asked gently.

"No, it’s okay, just not as delicious as Master Yang’s." Xu Mumu smiled and shook her head.

"Master Yang’s ancestors were imperial chefs, so his skills are naturally superb." Yin Yang said with a smile. Master Yang’s skills were indeed excellent. Both he and his grandfather liked the food very much, and every time he went to the county town, he would buy some dishes from the State-run Restaurant to bring back.

"Did Master Yang tell you that?" Xu Mumu asked while attacking the braised pork in her bowl.

"I overheard your uncle mention it once." Yin Yang chuckled lightly.
