Her parents also removed their shoes and nonchalantly lay down beside her.
"Wife, let me tell you, our daughter just now..." Jiang Changhai excitedly began recounting what had happened in the fields.
Su Wanyu initially listened without much emotional fluctuation, as she was well aware of her daughter's cleverness.
It was only when she heard the village chief say her daughter could definitely get into high school that she sat up excitedly, "Then we can follow Mianmian into the city to enjoy the good life! Daughter, giving birth to you in such pain and struggle was really worth it!"
Jiang Mianmian quickly corrected her, "Mom, the village chief said it's a possibility, not a certainty."
Her dad was really too good at twisting words.
"It's all the same," Jiang Changhai dismissed with a wave of his hand.
Jiang Mianmian, "..., what if I don't get in?"
Her dad couldn't really believe she would get into high school, could he?
The system immediately came online, "With this system here, there won't be any 'what if'!"
Jiang Changhai however, said nonchalantly, "If you don't get in, then you don't get in."
Jiang Mianmian was startled, "What about the mockery from others then?"
After all, they had bragged in front of so many people.
"Let them laugh. It won't cost us meals," Jiang Changhai confidently stated with his usual thick skin, "Anyway, as long as we are happy now, that's enough."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu said, "Then when I return to Sun-drying Field later, I must show off and enjoy the envious looks from others for a while."
As she spoke, she lay back down, her face showing no signs of disappointment or dissatisfaction.
"Don't you guys want me to get into high school?" Jiang Mianmian was a bit confused.
Su Wanyu's beautiful face showed longing and anticipation, "If you could become a high school student, you could work in a factory and get food rations, and your dad and I wouldn't have to work at all, living a comfortable life."
Jiang Changhai nodded in agreement, "Besides, what parent doesn't want their child to be successful?"
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian became even more bewildered, "Then why aren't you encouraging me to study hard and give it a try?"
Her dad chuckled lightly, gently stroking her head, "Your mom and I wish for your success, but more than that, we want you to be happy every day. Sending you to school is also so you learn more, to prevent being deceived by others in the future."
And to possibly find a handsome and capable city son-in-law. None of the young men from the nearby villages and teams could match up to his daughter!
Jiang Mianmian's eyes suddenly became moist and her nose tingled.
In her previous life, her parents had divorced when she was in junior high, leaving her with two houses and a street, then went on to start new families, hardly seeing her more than a few times a year.
The parents in this life, though poor, truly loved and embraced her, providing for her materially and spiritually as much as they could.
So, she also wanted to fulfill their expectations!
At that, Jiang Mianmian sat up, clenched her small fists, and solemnly said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get into high school and make you proud!"
It was just about getting a high school diploma, not about university entrance. In her previous life, even with poor grades, she had managed to earn a diploma from a junior college.
The system couldn't help but sneer, "Host, you really are ambitious."
"Good! That's my daughter, full of spirit!" Jiang Changhai was genuinely delighted and proud, his grin stretching almost to his ears.
Hehe, the daughter said she wanted to make her parents proud!
