Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Stirring Again
Jiang Mianmian watched Wang Li’s retreating figure and didn’t stop him. She paused, turned around, and looked at the two people, “Zhong Yuan, Tian Wei, long time no see.”
“Yeah, it has been a long time, Jiang Mianmian. How was your winter vacation? How far did you get with the courses for the second semester of the first year?” Zhong Yuan asked about Jiang Mianmian’s academic progress as soon as they met.
Jiang Mianmian was no longer surprised by Zhong Yuan’s nerdy mentality.
“I just finished self-studying the courses for the second semester of the first year. What about you?” Jiang Mianmian asked back.
She had become obsessed with experiments during the winter vacation, which significantly slowed down her self-study progress.
Otherwise, given her previous study pace, she would have almost finished self-studying the courses for the first semester of the second year by now.
Upon hearing Jiang Mianmian’s words, Zhong Yuan was particularly pleased, feeling that he had finally turned the tables.
It seemed that getting additional tutoring during the holidays was the right decision!
“That’s great, Jiang Mianmian. Our progress is finally the same. Tian Wei and I also completed the courses for the second semester of the first year. Now we can compete again, and I will definitely surpass you in the next exam,” Zhong Yuan said confidently, clenching his fists and looking at Jiang Mianmian with determination.
“And me, Jiang Mianmian, Zhong Yuan, I will also try my best to surpass both of you in the next exam!” Tian Wei said with full fighting spirit.
The challenge from the two of them also stirred up Jiang Mianmian’s competitive spirit. She looked at them confidently and said, “Since you’re so confident, bring it on. I won’t lose.”
Their eyes met, almost sparking fire.
After setting the agreement to compete during the midterm exams, the three of them walked side by side towards the school.
After officially starting school, since all of them had already self-studied the first-semester courses of the first year, they began self-studying the courses for the first semester of the second year or working on their own purchased materials during class, besides paying attention to the important topics pointed out by the teachers.
Time passed slowly yet steadily for a month, and Jiang Changhai, who had been dutifully attending work for a month, started to feel his desire to make money stir again.
After dinner that evening, when they were getting ready to sleep, Jiang Changhai suddenly said, “Wife, I plan to take a train to Haicheng in a few days to earn more money.”
Su Wanyu yawned, “Okay, Brother Hai, you can make the decisions regarding these matters.”
Since Jiang Changhai’s previous train trips to Haicheng had all been very safe and profitable, Su Wanyu was no longer worried.
“Then you don’t need to wait for me to have dinner tomorrow. I’ll go straight back to the village after work, talk to Laosan and Changhe, get their money, and let them earn something too,” Jiang Changhai planned.
“Hmm,” Su Wanyu had no objections.
It was mutual help among brothers. Now that their family had this good money-making opportunity, it was good to bring them along for a better life.
The couple decided, and the next day after work, Jiang Changhai went straight back to the village to discuss this matter.
Jiang Changhe and Jiang Changtao were overjoyed. Without a second word, they gave their five hundred yuan and recently collected dried wild mushrooms to Jiang Changhai.
The people in Haicheng really enjoyed these kinds of dried wild mushrooms, which sold very well.
With the money from three families and a big bag of dried wild mushrooms, Jiang Changhai went to Haicheng. After about half a month, he returned heavily laden with packages.
“Brother Hai, you’re back. You must be exhausted,” Su Wanyu immediately went up to greet him when she saw the weary Jiang Changhai and tried to take the packages from his hands.
