Jiang Mianmian was curious, so she opened the red envelope, took out the money, and counted it, "Grandma gave me two bucks."
"Oh, the old lady was quite generous this time," Jiang Changhai teased.
"Yes, Mianmian, you are really amazing, to convince your grandma to give you two bucks voluntarily. This is something your dad couldn’t even dare to dream about when he was little," Su Wanyu also remarked sentimentally.
Indeed, the old lady had really gone all out this time, yet she gave Jiang Mianmian only two dollars. She gave the other three boys in the family only one dollar each.
It must be said, knowledge changes fate, and without realizing it, Jiang Mianmian had become increasingly important in her grandmother’s heart.
The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and according to custom, it was time for the daughters-in-law to visit their maternal homes and greet relatives. Zhang Guihua, carrying big and small parcels, took Jiang Mianmian, the little prodigy, to her maternal home to visit relatives.
Because of Jiang Mianmian, Zhang Guihua was surrounded all day long during her visit home, receiving never-ending praise and adulation from the Zhang family and villagers alike.
Without any exaggeration, this day was the most comfortable and glorious day Zhang Guihua had ever spent at her maternal home.
After spending a short day at her maternal home, Zhang Guihua returned to her own home in the evening, feeling completely content, along with Jiang Mianmian and three nephews from her maternal side.
Zhang Guihua’s nephews were insistent on coming back with her after hearing her household had a television.
Once at the Jiang family, the children were overjoyed at the sight of the television.
"Aunt, aunt, we want to watch TV," the children clamored around Zhang Guihua.
"Alright, alright, Zhiwen, turn on the TV for your brothers. All of you watch together, and no fighting," Zhang Guihua said indulgently, watching the children.
Upon hearing this, Zhiwen’s eyes sparkled, knowing that the time their grandma allowed them to watch TV hadn’t yet come.
Now that his brothers wanted to watch TV, they could benefit from it too. This was fantastic; he really loved having his brothers over.
Zhiwen turned on the TV and, with his and Zhiwu’s enthusiastic recommendation, successfully convinced their younger brothers to join them in watching their favorite cartoons.
Zhang Guihua thought, during the festive period, since the children rarely visited and were relatives from her maternal side, and because they would not stay at her home for too many days, she might as well be generous just this once, not setting a limit on their TV watching, letting them watch to their hearts’ content.
Seeing them so engrossed in watching, Zhang Guihua let them be, and the other Jiang family children also got to watch an extra two hours of TV every day.
Jiang Changhai had to work on the fourth day of the New Year. He stayed in the village until the third day and then returned to the town.
Early the next morning, Jiang Changhai went to the transportation company to work, while Jiang Mianmian went into her space to continue her experiments.
The sense of accomplishment and pride from successfully creating a television had made her love conducting experiments.
However, this time she intended to do two ordinary little experiments and did not plan to buy materials in reality, being content with indulging in the system.
Vacation time always flies by quickly, and Jiang Mianmian finally managed to increase her average intelligence value to the genius range just a few days before school started.
Observation (200): 139
Imagination (200): 139
Average Intelligence Value: 140.2 (Genius or Nearly Genius 140-150)
Remaining Intelligence Points: 17
Ha ha, that’s fantastic, her average intelligence value finally broke through the major threshold of 140 before school started, reaching the genius level!
