Jing City Qin Family
"How did they do? How were their exam results?" Old Master Qin hurriedly asked.
Ever since he learned that his eldest grandson and his wife were taking the college entrance exam, he had been closely following their performance.
Of course, he hoped that they both could get into a university in Jing City so that their family could all be in the same city, and the grandchildren could e home.
Qin Zhen looked at the Old Sir Qin’s anxious expression, and his face was all smiles, "They did extremely well, one was the provincial top scorer, and the other ranked second."
Old Sir Qin was initially stunned upon hearing this, then quickly sought confirmation, "Are you telling the truth?"
Qin Zhen nodded, "Yes."
After receiving his affirmative answer, Old Sir Qin burst into excited laughter, "That’s wonderful! I knew my grandson was exceptional, but I never imagined he would score so high. It’s as if our ancestors are watching over us... Provincial top scorer, that’s not something just anyone can achieve. When they e back, we must celebrate them properly, let everyone know I have such an outstanding eldest grandson, and an outstanding granddaughter-in-law too."
Mr. Qin also nodded in excitement, "Right, we must celebrate properly. Let’s book a few tables at the state-owned restaurant when they return... Not only to celebrate but to also formally acknowledge their return to the family."
Without such exceptional descendants, the Qin Family might have been considered in decline.
"Amazing!" Qin Xiangnan was also happy for his nephew, it seemed the young couple was both brilliant.
"It’s uncertain when they’ll return, but they should be here soon... Now Uncle doesn’t have to worry about Qin Ye and his wife not ing back to Jing City," Qin Xiangbei said with a smile.
Qin Zhen: ...
Seeing everyone so happy, he felt a bit dumbfounded.
Why is everyone discussing the matter of his cousin being the top scorer in the college entrance exam? Did he not make himself clear? Otherwise, how could there be such a big misunderstanding?
He quickly shouted, "Wait a minute, there’s a mistake, that’s not right..."
Qin Xiangnan glared at his own son, "What’s wrong? Speak clearly and get to the point."
Qin Zhen certainly didn’t want the misunderstanding to continue, so he quickly explained, "The one who was first in the college entrance exam isn’t my cousin... It’s his wife. Qin Ye was the one who came in second place, and he has been admitted to the economics department of Jing City University. His wife was accepted into the medical department of Jing City University."
Qin Family: ...
Wow, this unseen daughter-in-law of the Qin Family was really something.
"Indeed, women can be as capable as men, great job, excellent!" Old Sir Qin spared no praises having caught up with the revelation.
The others were somewhat embarrassed, but they switched their tone quickly.
Only Qin Xiangnan gave his unreliable son a fierce glare: Just look at how he messes up a simple message.
Then he said, "How about sending a telegram tomorrow to check when exactly they will be ing back?"
Qin Zhen quickly replied, "I don’t think that’s necessary, they must have already estimated their scores and will probably return early. If we send a telegram now, they might already be on their way here, so they won’t receive it."
Old Sir Qin thought for a moment, "Then we won’t send one, but we should still get a room ready for them to stay when they arrive."
The Old Master couldn’t wait to see his grandchildren tomorrow, but even in his eagerness, there was nothing he could do. Dashunzi wasn’t by his side and those he had raised weren’t as close to him; otherwise, in such a situation, one would have already sent him a telegram.
However, he reassured himself that there was still time in the future. Family is always family, and with time spent together... the bonds of blood and kinship would naturally grow stronger.

Finally, after ten days, Qin Ye bought the train tickets.
When he brought the several train tickets home,
Rong Wenming took one look and was somewhat surprised, "Are these sleeper tickets?"
Such sleeper tickets were not easy to e by usually.
Qin Ye seemed to catch onto his father-in-law’s question and quickly explained, "Dad, I happened to run into Captain Lu last time. He knew we were going to Jing City, so he helped us get sleeper tickets."
He himself estimated that it would have been impossible to buy them, so when Captain Lu offered to help, he did not refuse.
Rong Wenming immediately asked, "Have you paid him for the tickets?" Sleeper tickets were not cheap, and there were six in total here.
Qin Ye nodded, "I have."
"That’s good." Rong Wenming did not want to take advantage of someone else. After all, no one’s money was blown in by the wind.
Police rades didn’t earn that much, and if someone had to spend so much money all at once, it would be unbearable for him.
Madam Rong also looked over the train tickets. She spoke, "The train departs at 8 a.m. tomorrow. We should all go to bed early tonight and wake up early tomorrow."
"Let’s go to bed early." The family was already staying in a house in the town, where they had already forwarded their luggage, while other items had been shipped by Qin Ye.
As for the bicycle... it couldn’t just be left behind, and they didn’t plan to sell it, so Rong Yan secretly stored the bicycle in the space.
Not just that, she planned to be the last one to leave the room tomorrow, and then gather up all the visible items and store them in the space.
This way, they wouldn’t have to start off so early in the morning from the village.
Everyone returned to their respective rooms.
The next day, Rong Yan got up last in the family.
"It’s only six o’clock, why are you guys getting up so early? The train isn’t until eight, and we can hurry over by half past seven."
Madam Rong rolled her eyes at her daughter’s words.
"Are we leaving without tidying up here? Hurry up and wash your face. We’ll wait for you to have breakfast. Once you’re done, I’ll just finish tidying up the kitchen."
Rong Yan shrugged her shoulders, alright, you make sense.
She went to wash up and brush her teeth, and then ate breakfast.
After everyone finished breakfast, Madam Rong quickly said, "There’s still some time left. Make sure you have all your belongings sorted out, and nothing is left behind."
Everyone responded affirmatively.
At around seven thirty, they were finally ready to depart.
"Let’s go." Rong Wenming was very happy. Without realizing, he had stayed here for so long, and truth be told, he was starting to miss home.
Qin Ye said they would go on ahead, and he would lock up.
Rong Yan walked last. Taking the opportunity while the others were not paying attention, she hurried back to the yard and collected many things into her space...
The family arrived at the train station.
They didn’t have to wait long before the train arrived.
Once they boarded, Madam Rong was delighted, "This sleeper partment is really nice! It lives up to the higher price, indeed, there’s a good reason for the cost."
