70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 270: Little Rascal

"That’s right, but my son isn’t as impressive as my daughter. My daughter’s a provincial top scorer," Li Caixia boasted even more proudly.

"Provincial top scorer??" The woman widened her eyes, wondering if this person was just bragging.

"Yes, this is my daughter, Xu Mumu. She ranked first, and this is her fiancé, Yin Yang, who ranked second in the province," Li Caixia said with a smile. Yin Yang had moved with them to the provincial city this time.

Now they’d all be neighbors, and Li Caixia was very satisfied with the houses being so close to each other. She no longer had to worry about her daughter being bullied after getting married.

Li Caixia’s words convinced the woman, who looked at Xu Mumu with surprise. The Red River Team had produced quite a few university students, which astonished many people in the county.

"You’re really blessed," the woman envied. How did this person raise such kids, with two children making it to university and an impressive future son-in-law?

Xu Mumu was a name she recognized too; it had been mentioned in several papers in both the county and the provincial city. She was surprised to meet her today.

"Of course."

With someone to talk to, Li Caixia warmly chatted with the woman. Li Caixia was very talkative, quickly learning all about her.

The woman’s name was Liu Minjun. Her family was from the county town cotton mill, and she had two sons. The elder one was already married, and the younger one was around Xu Mumu’s age. He took the college entrance exam this year, but he didn’t do well and was spending this time at home studying for the next round of exams in the fall.

Knowing that her son didn’t pass, Li Caixia felt very proud; even her son was better than that, which was too useless in her eyes.

"Sister, how do your son and daughter study? Any study tips you can share? Maybe I can pass them on to my son." Liu Minjun, two years younger than Li Caixia, had begun calling her ’sister’ warmly and indeed wanted to know how Xu Mumu studied.

"It’s because my daughter is smart. During the exam period, she studied late every day," Li Caixia replied with a big smile.

"Auntie, did your son study with his textbooks on his own?" Xu Mumu asked with a smile.

Their conversation captured the attention of everyone on the bus.

"Yes, he found a lot of materials and even bought study materials from the supply and marketing cooperative. However, he found out late and didn’t get to review them much before the exam," Liu Minjun said eagerly, showing more enthusiasm towards Xu Mumu than Li Caixia, hoping that Xu Mumu could share some insights.

"The study materials sold at that supply and marketing cooperative were actually my notes. Let him study them carefully, and once he understands, practice with more exercises," Xu Mumu said with a cheerful smile, subtly advertising herself.

"They’re your notes? Rest assured, girl, I’ll make sure my son studies them diligently when I get back," Liu Minjun said, looking at Xu Mumu with excitement.

"Yes, all the key points are covered, and there are even some typical problems included," Xu Mumu nodded.

"No wonder you did so well; you truly are something. No wonder your team produced so many successful students," Liu Minjun said, realizing the value. The notes were treasures, and she’d make sure her son gained from them. She didn’t expect him to become a provincial top scorer, but she hoped he’d at least pass.

"They succeeded because of their own efforts," Xu Mumu smiled. The whole team had two exceptional students, Huo Qingze and Yin Yang, who had started their review early. Her brother had her supervision, and Xu Xue didn’t need mentioning, despite not going to high school, he had the experience from his past life.

Aside from them, the others managed to succeed through a few months of intense review.

How much hardship they went through was something only they knew.

With Liu Minjun to chat with, the journey wasn’t boring. The little brother woke up and fell asleep again without fuss, being quite well-behaved.

Reaching the provincial city, Liu Minjun reluctantly parted ways with Li Caixia and her group. She had her tasks in the city, and Xu Mumu’s group needed to head to their new home. So, once they got off the bus, they went their separate ways.

Xu Mumu handed her little brother to Li Caixia, picked up two big bags, and the group headed towards their new home.

"Mumu, let me help you with one, is it heavy?" Yin Yang asked gently, looking at Xu Mumu.

"It’s not heavy, really nothing at all," Xu Mumu replied with a smile. She felt she could carry a few more; if it weren’t for the concern that she might not manage it all, she’d have carried everything at once. But that would have drawn too much attention, so she decided against it.

It took them over half an hour to finally reach their new place.

"Mumu, these buildings are so tall," Madam Chen exclaimed, having never seen such high buildings in the countryside. Plus, these were new, and they were thrilled to be living here.

"It’s okay, grandma. Our home’s on the second floor. Let’s go up," Xu Mumu said with a smile.

They went upstairs, and Xu Mumu unlocked the door, placing their belongings inside.

"Sister, is this our home? It looks really nice," Xu Minglei said excitedly, having explored every room and checked the balcony.

"Yes, do you like it?" Xu Mumu asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course!" Xu Minglei responded with a grin.

"As long as you like it, let’s help organize these things," Xu Mumu said warmly.

This time, with the whole family pitching in, it took less than half an hour to put everything in its place.

Yin Yang didn’t have much stuff, so he finished even quicker. When he came over, Xu Mumu’s family had already settled everything.

"Mumu, don’t you think there’s something missing?" Yin Yang asked, glancing at Xu Mumu.

"Missing what?" Xu Mumu asked, puzzled.

"A coal stove. Should I get one?" Yin Yang asked gently, looking at Xu Mu.

"Sure, just a second-hand one will do. We’ll also need coal balls and such. Find out where to buy them," Xu Mumu said, realizing they couldn’t cook without a stove.

"Don’t worry," Yin Yang nodded with a smile.

"My dad has over three hundred yuan, let’s set the standard at one hundred yuan," Xu Mumu added with a smirk. Before leaving, they’d sold the family’s grain to the second and fourth house, saving up a bit of money. Now was the time to spend, letting her dad handle the expenses.

"You little mischief, your dad might cry when he finds out," Yin Yang laughed.

"It’s fine. These are basic living needs. Looks like we can’t cook dinner at home today, so let’s pick up some food from the state-owned restaurant later," Xu Mumu suggested.

"Alright, let’s go now since it’s getting late," Yin Yang agreed.

"I’ll go familiarize myself with the route," Xu Minghui volunteered, playing the third wheel since the idea of his sister being alone with this guy made him uneasy.
