70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 591: Pride
"Yeah, this is my little niece, also this year’s top science graduate. My son and a few of my nephews have similar grades. Their teacher said they are among the top in the province."
Although a bit disappointed that her son didn’t become the top graduate, at least the top graduate was still family, and there wasn’t much difference. Furthermore, her son did very well too.
"Really? The kids in your family are amazing." The young man was tongue-tied, listening to the kids’ grades, which were far better than when he took his college entrance exam.
"Of course." Li Caixia said proudly.
"Madam Boss, how do you teach your kids? How come each one of them is so outstanding?" A middle-aged man asked curiously, looking at these excellent kids, then at his own idle son. Without comparison, there’s no harm.
Talking about raising kids, Li Caixia felt she had a lot of insights on educating children. These kids in her family were indeed exceptional, and she started bragging immediately.
Xu Mumu listened with mouth twitching; her mother’s personality hadn’t changed a bit.
"Grandma, I already told Wanwan to notify Second Uncle, asking them to come over for a meal later. I’ll call Fourth Uncle’s family to tell them the good news and invite Third and Fourth Uncle’s families to get together." Xu Mumu asked Madam Chen.
"It’s time for a gathering. I’ll make the call. It’s typical of Old Fourth and the others not to show concern for Jiaojiao, letting the two kids come over just like that. Now we have to specifically call them over, really troublesome." She said it was troublesome, but her steps were light as she prepared to make the call.
"Grandma, wait, let’s call Aunt Cuihua’s family too. Tiedan did really well too." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
"Sure, no problem." Madam Chen nodded with a smile and then walked with light steps to make the call.
Now that the roads here are open, coming to the provincial capital doesn’t require many detours, saving quite a bit of time.
Looking at her grandmother so delighted, as though she turned ten years younger, indeed this was a joyous event; the kids all made the family proud.
"Dad, brother, I’ll go tell Grandpa and Sir Jian, and we can have a lively time at my place later." Xu Mumu said with a smile to the two.
"Sis, you don’t need to worry about hosting. We’ll book a restaurant. We have a lot of people, and your place isn’t specifically prepared. We aren’t short of money, and having you host is out of place. Just inform Professor Song and Professor Jian. I’ll book a restaurant soon for a lively gathering." Xu Minghui said with a smile.
"Alright, I’ll go find Grandpa and the others first." Xu Mumu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, as her brother was right. Madam Chun would take a long time to prepare for so many people.
Madam Chun was a perfectionist, so her prepared food was always refined, which naturally took more time.
Plus, the Xu Family wasn’t short of money now, so there was no need for her to help her maternal family with such trivial matters.
"Go ahead, make sure Professor Song and the others return early." Xu Minghui said with a smile.
"Mumu, do you want me to help take care of Doudou?" Jiang Yuxiu immediately brightened her eyes, looking at Xu Mumu.
"No need, sister-in-law, I’ll handle Doudou. This little rascal is at his most mischievous." Xu Mumu hurriedly shook her head. The child’s strength was unusually strong, even the door frames were specially reinforced by Yin Yang. Everything at home was either very light or things the little guy couldn’t break, just worried that the family would find out the little guy’s strength.
"Is that so? Alright then." Jiang Yuxiu nodded in disappointment, reluctantly averting her gaze from Doudou.
Doudou perfectly inherited his parents’ genes. Not even a year old, yet incredibly adorable. Every time Jiang Yuxiu saw him, she just wanted to hold him tight and shower him with kisses.
Seeing her sister-in-law’s disappointed look, Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are about to graduate, you have plenty of time to have your own child."
"Not for now, your brother has expanded the supermarket business, so he’s very busy. I need to help him, so we decided to wait another year before having a child." Jiang Yuxiu shook her head, saying she hasn’t seen Doudou often, so she plays with Fengfeng when she’s home.
Uh, Xu Mumu didn’t know how to comfort her, silently giving a glance to her brother. Her sister-in-law was better left to him to console.
Xu Mumu quickly left with her son; she truly wasn’t unwilling to let them take care of him.
She and Yin Yang quietly observed, and now the little rascal could even crush walnuts, and not the soft ones but the hard kind. If he grabbed someone, it would definitely hurt, so mostly she and Yin Yang took care of him themselves, and even Professor Song and Professor Jian seldom spent long periods taking care of the child.
Xu Mumu ran out with the child, breathing a sigh of relief when she could no longer feel her sister-in-law’s gaze.
Looking at the little rascal grinning happily in her arms, Xu Mumu patted his little butt gently: "Always causing trouble for me."
As she went to find Professor Song and the others, she wondered if she really wanted a second child. What if this one inherits her superpower too?
Having a superpower was a good thing, allowing them some form of self-defense.
But keeping it hidden was tiring for her and Yin Yang.
"Ah, ah, ah." The little rascal thought mom was playing with him, so he nuzzled mom’s face and slobbered all over Xu Mumu’s face.
Xu Mumu, feeling slightly grossed out, wiped her face with a handkerchief and then took the little fellow to the university.
The little guy was all excited today. With so many people around, it was all new and fascinating for him. It’s a pity he couldn’t talk yet; otherwise, he would surely insist on his parents taking him out more often.
Professor Song’s workplace was right next to Li Caixia and their school, not far at all.
Xu Mumu had visited a few times and knew where the professors’ offices were, so she headed straight to their offices with the child in her arms.
On the way, she encountered many students. Being pretty, she naturally attracted quite a few looks.
However, seeing her with a child in her arms, many who intended to chat lost their courage—why would such a pretty girl marry so soon?
Yet, some still approached her: "Hi, is this your younger brother or sister?"
"No, this is my son. Anything you need?" Xu Mumu smiled, inwardly thinking how her face was quite a magnet for admirers; every time she walked around campus, someone would try to strike up a conversation.
