I was reborn after my cousin stole my life.

Chapter 211: The Uninvited Guest

After a fish hotpot meal, life returned to its usual tranquility.

Yuan Xiu put down her tedious textbooks, picked up her medical books again, and resumed attending classes with Doctor Liu.

In the hospital, during the first few days, the staff who had just finished the college entrance examination would often gather together to discuss their results.

Estimate your score using the 'correct answer'.

Then, let's make a rough guess about the admission scores for universities and vocational schools.

"Wang Xiaomei said her score was very high and she'll definitely get into university!"

Hao Jia came in from outside. "I just passed by the nursing department, and Wang Xiaomei was bragging inside! If you didn't know better, you'd think she'd already received her university acceptance letter!"

Hao Jia didn't really care how others did on the exam, but she just couldn't stand Wang Xiaomei's boastful attitude.

"That's too much talk. What if you don't pass the exam? How embarrassing would that be!"

Yuan Xiu checked the medicines in the medicine cabinet against the list, occasionally sniffing them with the tip of her nose: "Didn't they go over the questions? Maybe they really can pass the exam."

"I believe others can pass the exam, but her?" Hao Jia shook her head: "Why can't I believe it?"

There's an old saying: "A full jar makes no sound, but a half-full jar rattles." Before receiving the acceptance letter, even if you think you can get in, you wouldn't dare to say it like that to everyone. Only those who are only half-full of knowledge become arrogant as soon as they have a glimmer of hope.

At this point, Hao Jia whispered to Yuan Xiu, "Have you estimated your score? How many points do you think you'll get? I heard them say that the minimum score for undergraduate admission is probably over 260."

Yuan Xiu also estimated her score. The day after the exam, Teacher Shen called the three of them together to roughly estimate their scores.

But that's only a rough estimate. After three days of exams, who can remember all the questions?

It would have been fine if they hadn't estimated the score, but after they did, Sun Ying's legs went weak, Wang Ting looked like she had no will to live, and even Yuan Xiu herself was a little worried.

"We'll know when the results come out."

The results will not be released. To find out if you have passed the minimum score, you will have to wait until the papers are graded and the scores are determined, then check with the admissions office.

Everyone is waiting for the announcement that the grading is finished and the cut-off scores will be set.

Before you know it, New Year's Day is here.

The Parents' Committee still submitted the program for New Year's Day this year. However, because Yuan Xiu was in postpartum confinement and had to take exams, the Parents' Committee did not contact her to participate in the program.

So, on New Year's Day this year, Yuan Xiu sat in the audience and watched the whole thing.

"The New Year's Day performance by the military was quite interesting." After watching the program, An Hui praised it a few times.

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "It was really good. I haven't seen such a good performance in many years. I heard that Xiao Yuan was on stage last year too? When I was watching the show just now, someone said that the song you sang last year was really good."

"They were just being polite in praising me. My skill level is nowhere near that of the performing arts troupe."

Yuan Xiu bent down and adjusted the windproof gauze curtain hanging on the stroller. The two little ones were wrapped up tightly in the stroller, and the brother and sister looked at each other and babbled about something.

On the second day of New Year's Day, An Hui told me something.

"I should probably head back soon..."

Jiang Zhou and Yuan Xiu exchanged a glance; they had both thought of it.

"When are you leaving? I'll make some extra sausages for you to take back with you," Yuan Xiu asked.

There's no way to make cured pork; it needs to be marinated in advance, and there aren't enough days to make it. Only sausages are something I can still manage to make.

An Hui waved her hand: "No rush, just make some and send it to me to try later."

"When do you plan to leave? I'll buy you a ticket," Jiang Zhou asked.

"When you leave is up to you, Uncle Chen."

Jiang Zhou frowned. What did that mean?

"Your Uncle Chen is here on a business trip and will arrive tomorrow. After he finishes his business here, I'll go back with him. You don't need to buy the tickets."

"Why didn't you say so before?" He only said he was leaving when everyone was almost there.

"You didn't ask before." An Hui picked up her coffee and took a sip. "You haven't seen each other for several years. Take this opportunity to meet up, have a meal together, and let your Uncle Chen meet Xiao Yuan and the two children."

Yuan Xiu glanced at Jiang Zhou: "Does the house need...?"

"Need not."

An Hui waved her hand, "He doesn't live at home, so you won't feel uncomfortable. The unit that hosts him on business trips will arrange a hotel, which will definitely be in the city. We can all go there together for a get-together."

Yuan Xiu nodded.

Uncle Chen arrived on the second day, and his meal was scheduled for noon on the third day.

An Hui did not enter the city to meet him in advance, but entered the city with Jiang Zhou and the others on the third day.

As for where to eat and what to eat, Jiang Zhou and the others didn't need to arrange it; Uncle Chen had already made the arrangements.

They went to the hotel first.

"Why is she here?" An Hui frowned and muttered to herself as she looked at the young woman walking towards them.

Jiang Zhou turned his head and glanced at her. "If you don't know, then I certainly don't know either."

He held his daughter in his arms; the little girl was looking around with her big, bright eyes.

Yuan Xiu, holding her son, asked, "Who?"

"Uncle Chen's daughter."

Yuan Xiu: Oh, the one Aunt Zhao mentioned earlier.

Why does it seem like this "Uncle Chen's daughter" isn't very popular?

Yuan Xiu glanced at her a few more times. She was dressed quite nicely. In this cold weather, everyone was bundled up like a ball in cotton-padded clothes, but she didn't seem to be afraid of the cold and was wearing a long woolen coat.

Underneath the coat was a white turtleneck sweater, and on her feet were not cotton shoes, but a pair of half-heeled leather shoes.

The coat was quite nice, but she was a bit chubby and not very tall, so it didn't quite suit her. From a distance, she looked rather stocky.

Upon closer inspection, she has a rather delicate appearance and fair skin.

"Aunt An!"

Chen Yumei greeted her with a beaming smile, "I haven't seen you for months, I've missed you so much!"

An Hui smiled and patted the hand that the girl had taken hers. "What brings you here? Where's your dad?"

"Dad was talking to someone inside, and when he came out, he ran into Secretary Gu from the Ministry of Commerce..."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Zhou, "Brother, it's been a long time!"

Jiang Zhou nodded.

"Aunt An, look at my brother, he's still the same as before, he doesn't care about people at all," Chen Yumei said coquettishly.

A string in Yuan Xiu's mind suddenly tightened!

An Hui: "You only called him 'brother,' not 'sister-in-law,' so of course he's ignoring you. This is your sister-in-law, Yuan Xiu, and these are your two nephews and nieces."

Chen Yumei then looked at Yuan Xiu.

Yuan Xiu felt her scrutiny and also sensed her previous deliberate ignoring.

No one would not even glance at you after meeting you. If they don't, then they're deliberately ignoring you.
