She had to cherish her intelligence points and not use them up as soon as she got them like she did in the past.
Moreover, she still remembered the last time when she didn’t save any intelligence points and asked the system to lend her some in advance, but it refused.
So, she had to save more for any unexpected needs.
The system, relentless, continued to tempt her, "Host, the experiment is the sole criterion for testing truth. Only through experimentation can you thoroughly understand and master the relevant theories. Are you sure you don’t want to consider it?"
Jiang Mianmian was resolute in her response, "Yes, I’m sure, I won’t consider it!"
Humph, that black-hearted system won’t be getting a single intelligence point from her!
System: "... Alright then."
The host is really stingy, but it won’t give up!
But what she said was also true; she was now spending over five hours a day studying in the system space, which is equivalent to fifteen hours in real time.
Plus the time studying in reality,
With school starting in two days, Jiang Mianmian got up from her nap and began to pack her school bag and summer homework, all the things she needed for school.
Su Wanyu came over and asked, "Daughter, take a look, what do you need for school? Mom will take you to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy them. You’ll be a middle school student when school starts, it’s different from being a primary school student."
"Mm, I know, Mom. I don’t really need anything; there’s nothing I need to buy." Jiang Mianmian’s backpack and stationery were new from last term, and she hadn’t really used them yet. She wasn’t a real child who needed to buy new stationery every new term.
Although Jiang Mianmian wasn’t a real child, her two brothers certainly were, and school was about to start for them.
On the day before school started, Zhiwen and Zhiwu pestered the old lady to take them to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy new stationery.
The old lady had some money lately and was in a good mood, so she happily took her grandsons shopping.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu, with their newly purchased backpacks, stationery, and soda popsicles, walked beside the old lady, one on the left and one on the right.
"Granny, where are we going? This isn’t the way home," Zhiwen asked with some confusion as he followed Zhang Guihua into an alley.
"We’re going to see your cousin at your uncle’s house. You don’t recognize the way to your uncle’s house anymore," Zhang Guihua said, tapping Zhiwen’s forehead lightly.
"Ah, going to Uncle’s house, hehe. Granny, you can’t blame me for this, the alleys in this town all look similar, and I’ve only been there once. How could I remember clearly? If you bring us brothers over often, I’ll get to know the way," Zhiwen said with a chuckle.
Soon, the three family members arrived at Jiang Changhai’s home. The gate wasn’t closed, so they walked right in.
"Mianmian, where are you? Your second brother is here to see you," Zhiwu called out loudly even before they reached the house.
Hearing Zhiwu’s voice, Su Wanyu and Jiang Mianmian were both surprised and came out of the house.
Seeing the three visitors, Su Wanyu warmly greeted them, "Mom, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were coming? I could have come to meet you."
"Granny, big brother, second brother," Jiang Mianmian greeted everyone sweetly.
"I can walk and jump; I don’t need you all to meet me. Come here, Mianmian, my good granddaughter, Granny bought you pencils and stationery, and some chilled orange soda, drink it while it’s cold," Zhang Guihua said, offering the items to Jiang Mianmian with a loving face.
Jiang Mianmian happily accepted and thanked her with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Granny, I love drinking soda the most."
As soon as Zhang Guihua entered the house, she saw two unfamiliar kids, "Who are these two children?"
