Chapter 780: Chapter 778: Bold Fantasies
Jiang Dashan, after reading, said with relief, “Laosan, it seems that sending the two kids to your elder brother was indeed the right move. Under Mianmian’s guidance, even Zhiwen and Zhiwu, who loved to play, have started to learn. Look how much they’ve improved.”
“Yes, Dad, I also feel that Zhiwen and Zhiwu have become much more sensible since they went to my elder brother’s house. This semester, every week on their days off, they start studying on their own without needing adults to prompt them,” Jiang Changtao also said excitedly.
Zhiwu, puffing out his chest, looked at the family elders and said proudly, “Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Mianmian said that we should both strive hard and aim for university.”
This time, Zhiwu scored more than eighty percent, and he now had an abundance of confidence, daring to say anything.
“What? Did Mianmian really say that?” Jiang Dashan asked in disbelief.
He had only hoped that his grandsons would finish high school and work in the city; he never expected Mianmian to push them toward university?
Even the old lady and the Third Branch couple were just as shocked; although they hoped the two boys would be successful, they dared not entertain such bold aspirations.
“Yes, Grandpa, Mianmian did say that. She thinks we have a good chance of getting into university and told us to set that as our goal and to work hard,” Zhiwen explained.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dashan immediately became quite excited, “Good, very good, Mianmian is our Wenqu Star; if she says you two can do it, then you definitely can! Zhiwen, Zhiwu, you both must study hard and aim to get into university. If our Old Jiang Family could produce three university students, then even if I died, I would have the face to meet our ancestors.”
“You two must really learn well from Mianmian, your mom here is counting on you two to bring pride to us,” Sun Lixia also said, her face full of hope.
The old lady was smiling so much that her eyes turned into slits, “That’s the spirit, our Jiang Family descendants indeed have ambition! From now on, listen well to Mianmian, learn more from your sister, and strive to get into university and become leaders in the city.”
In reality, both the old couple and the Third Branch knew that, given the boys’ current performance, getting into university was nearly impossible.
But not getting in wasn’t important, what mattered was that they now had ambition and goals. Indeed, Mianmian knew how to lead them on the right path.
“Yes, don’t worry, Grandma, my brother and I will definitely put in the effort,” Zhiwu straightened his back, pounding his chest with confidence, promising aloud.
The Second Branch couple were also very happy for their nephews.
After all, they were one family and would be frequently interacting in the future. If the two continued to be playful and not study like before, and if their own son grew up and followed their example, that would be troublesome.
Now that they were driven and knew the importance of studying, it was wonderful for their own son to be able to follow his brother and sisters and strive hard in his studies.
While they were celebrating Zhiwen and Zhiwu’s achievements, Da Ya, Er Ya, and Zhaodi sisters also came back.
Da Ya and Er Ya looked quite happy, but only Zhaodi had a very unpleasant expression on her face.
Zhao Xiaojuan, concerned about their late return, asked, “Da Ya, Er Ya, Zhaodi, why have you come back so late?”
The three of them attended the commune primary school, which was much closer to home than Zhiwen and Zhiwu’s school. Why then did they return after the two brothers?
