Da Bao had not yet spoken when Xiao Bao blurted out, "My brother scored double hundreds again."
This talent for studying must be inherited from their parents.
Da Bao also looked at Zhao Tianhe, "Little uncle, you passed with a score of 61."
When he heard his score, Zhao Tianhe was completely stunned.
That’s a passing grade.
But this score... he didn’t even know what to say.
At least there’s no need for make-up classes, right?
Mrs. Zhao, upon hearing their conversation, walked out of the kitchen and became curious about the 61 points she heard.
Seeing that his aunt had heard his score, Zhao Tianhe said somewhat sheepishly, "Aunt, Third Brother enrolled me in night school, and I got 61 points on an exam."
Da Bao with his double hundreds.
And he’s left with 61 points.
What kind of school is that?
Mrs. Zhao was hearing about it for the first time.
"Aunt, it’s like a university for adults."
University for adults?
But Xiao He started studying too?
Why didn’t he mention this before when he came back?
That score, though...
It should be better than Da Shu’s.
"When are your Third Brother and the others coming back?"
Zhao Tianhe glanced outside, "They won’t be back until it gets dark. Aunt, are you hungry? There’s some dry food. Have a snack to tide you over?"
Not coming back until dark?
During summer, it gets dark later.
"Xiao Yang will be back earlier. He works in the factory with set hours for work and leaving."
As for Xiao Yun and my sister-in-law, now that it’s summer, they’ll be home by seven sharp.
Xinxin, however, will be later since the clothing store closes late.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
Fang Chaoyang came back riding a bicycle.
When Mrs. Zhao saw Fang Chaoyang, she froze for a moment.
Was this young man in the white shirt the tall and skinny Fang Chaoyang from before?
This young man has become especially handsome; indeed, putting on some weight has made a big difference in his appearance.
"Xiao Yang, you’ve gotten handsome."
After Fang Chaoyang parked his bicycle, he continued the conversation, "Since I’ve been living with Third Brother, life has been good, and I’ve gained some weight."
He even grew taller, despite being in his twenties already.
Xiao Yun grew a little, too.
And Er Dan’s growth is even more evident.
"Now that you’re so handsome, it should be easy to find a wife. So, have you spotted any female comrades you like?"
Fang Chaoyang gulped, not expecting Mrs. Zhao to bring up this subject.
"There’s no rush on that, no rush at all."
Fang Chaoyang glanced at Zhao Tianhe, signaling him to help out.
His grandma was also mentioning this.
But he really wasn’t in a hurry.
Working in the factory, too, was thanks to Third Brother.
Over the years, it was Third Brother’s help that allowed three generations to grow up.
Zhao Tianhe didn’t dare offer help and quickly shook his head, afraid the fire would spread to him.
Yet faced with Fang Chaoyang’s look that said, "If you don’t help me now, I won’t help you in the future," Zhao Tianhe felt a bit troubled.
"Aunt, my sister-in-law and the others should be coming back soon. Shall we go out for a stroll and have a look?"
Mrs. Zhao was indeed distracted by the change of topic.
Mrs. Zhao had just ground some cornmeal dough with Grandma Fang before bedtime.
She also wanted to go out and have a look around.
This time she would be staying in the Capital City for the entire summer break.
Zhao Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led Mrs. Zhao out for a walk.
"Aunt, we’re not far from Tsing University here. Many professors and teachers live around this area."
"There are even more university teachers."
Having so many professors living nearby is great for the two grandsons.
As they walked, Zhao Tianhe chatted.
