There is a mountain in her arms

Song Niao was eventually called back by the old lady. She always put her son first when it came to issues concerning him.

"Koizumi, let's talk!"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"I have already asked your teacher, why didn't you tell your family about such an important thing as taking the college entrance examination?"

"It's nothing. It's just to make up the numbers. It's not a big deal."

"Xiaoquan, you don't like going home now, is it because of your family that you are affected?"

Song Niao carefully chose his words, fearing that it might provoke a rebellious reaction from him.

"Mom, don't worry, I understand. Sister Cheng told me that a person's life is long, and the time spent with parents is the shortest. A person's life is short, and the time spent alone is long. But I have friends, goals, and can realize my self-worth, so this life is not lived in vain."

As soon as Wang Quan said this, Song Niao burst into tears instantly.

"Xiaoquan, has your mother spent too little time with you? You seem to have grown up!"

"Mom, Sister Cheng said she wants to be a strong woman like you. Compared to Dad, you've done a great job. You have to take care of your own career while taking time to pay attention to me. Mom, just go ahead and move forward bravely! If I don't achieve much in the future, I can still inherit your career and never worry about food and drink."

Wang Quan's affirmative words made Song Niao burst into tears. The difficulties caused by her mother-in-law and her husband's lack of support seemed to no longer be a problem.

"You little bastard, I am Song Niao's son, not a bastard. You have to get into a good university and make me proud!"

"Mom, I will. Sister Cheng will not leave even if she passes the exam this year. She will take me to Beijing, and when I am successful in Beijing, I will take you there to live with me in my old age. Or you can develop your career in Beijing directly and buy a house in Beijing like Sister Cheng did, so that I can also have a home in Beijing in the future."

Wang Quan became more and more certain as he spoke. Song Niao was a little surprised. She didn't know that Jiang Yichen had a house in Beijing.

"Did Jiang Yicheng buy a house in Beijing?"

"Yes! There is a house and land. I went there with her last summer vacation. Have you forgotten?"

"Tell me about it, I'll think about it."

Song Niao knew that Jiang Yichen was a very thoughtful person and she never put her in the position of a child.

Seeing that his mother was so cautious, Wang Quan told her what he knew and would not tell her if other people in the family asked him.

"I want to go see her tomorrow. You come with me."

Song Niao was a decisive person and he immediately came up with an idea.

"But mom, I'm too tired from climbing the mountain today. I plan to rest at home tomorrow."

"I don't want you to walk, so I'll drive you there. We might eat there, don't you want to go?"

"go with!"

Compared to the food at home, he still prefers the food at Jiang's house. Both the taste and the atmosphere are different from those at home.

Grandma Wang Quan had been waiting for Song Niao's reply, but unfortunately she waited in vain and couldn't help cursing on the bed. Grandpa Wang Quan couldn't stand it and scolded her.

"Stop talking. If you keep doing this, your grandson will be pushed further and further away. Haven't you noticed that he doesn't even like to go home now?"

"How could that be? I've been so good to him, could he be an ungrateful person? Sure enough, my daughter was right. Xiaoquan has been won over by his mother, so he is not filial."

"What are you talking about, you old woman? Don't listen to Wang Yuxuan anymore. You are going to break up our happy family. If you really wait until the day when everyone deserts you, I wonder if your daughter will support you. I'm living with my son anyway."

Grandpa Wang Quan fell asleep after he finished speaking, and ignored the old woman behind him who was frightened by his words and couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, when Grandma Wang Quan woke up with dark circles under her eyes, the house was so quiet that there seemed to be no sound at all.

She knocked on Wang Quan's door and found the bed was neatly made. There was no one in Song Niao's room either, and she screamed in panic.

"Old man, old man!"

"What's the matter?"

Grandpa Wang Quan came in carrying breakfast.

"Why aren't Koizumi and his mom here?"

"Oh! His mom took him out. Come on and eat! If you go too late, these are the only two left."

Grandpa Wang Quan pointed at the buns and soy milk, picked up a bun and started eating.

Grandma Wang Quan was a little absent-minded and asked the old man hesitantly.

"Have I really been doing too much during this period?"

"What do you think? Wang Quan's mother is capable and doesn't rely on you for support. What qualifications do you have to find fault with her? With her son's meager salary, the family can eat so well, isn't it because of Xiaoquan? Now Xiaoquan doesn't like to go home anymore, and doesn't tell his family about school matters. Haven't you noticed?"

"Xiao Yu said that Song Niao was too strong and she was afraid that she would suppress her son in the future, so I wanted to control her."

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, who will take care of you in your old age? You are so confused. If it weren't for Xiaoquan, Song Niao would have lived quite well even if she left your son. As for your son's current position as an official, it is Song Niao who is behind the scenes. Our family should not only worship her, but also praise her a little."

Grandpa Wang Quan's ruthless words made Grandma Wang Quan's blood freeze instantly, and she began to worry about her son's future.

Compared to her daughter, she still values ​​her son more. She regretted it instantly and slapped her thigh. Grandpa Wang Quan stopped talking, ate his fill, and went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.

Song Niao took Wang Quan to buy a lot of things, and then went to Jiang Yichen's house.

"Mother Song, why are you here? Welcome, welcome!"

Grandma Jiang was very surprised to see the landlord but still greeted him warmly. Grandpa Jiang had already gone to the school to open the shop.

"Excuse me! This brat of mine often troubles you. I came here to thank you."

"It's no trouble, no trouble. Wang Quan is a lively and sensible child who can always make us happy. We like him very much."

"Didn't you say you were going to stay at home today? Why did you invite your busy mom here?"

Jiang Yichen pulled Wang Quan and whispered.

"My grandma came back because of a fuss, but my mom came to see you on purpose. I don't know what it is."

Jiang Yichen still didn't understand. They couldn't let her interfere in their family affairs, right?

Song Niao exchanged greetings with Grandma Jiang for a while, then looked at Jiang Yichen.

"Cheng Cheng, can Auntie tell you about this brat in my family?"

"of course can!"

Jiang Yichen didn't know what she was up to, but he readily agreed.

Wang Quan originally wanted to join in, but was stopped by Song Niao and asked to come back to accompany Grandma Jiang.

Jiang Yichen understood what she meant and took her to the small living room upstairs.

"Auntie, what do you want from me?"

"Haha! Can't I talk to you about Wang Quan's affairs?"

"Auntie, you are a very busy person. You won't come to my temple for no reason."

Song Niao liked Jiang Yichen's cleverness, so he just told her his purpose directly.

"I heard from Wang Quan that your family bought a house and land in Beijing. Will that be where your focus will be in the future?"

"Of course, we don't have any roots here, and the same is true in Beijing, so why shouldn't I choose a place with a good starting point?"

"Wang Quan asked me yesterday if I could expand my business to Beijing. What do you think?"

"It's not what I think, but it depends on how you think. Auntie, your roots are here."

Song Niao fell silent instantly. She still had her mother's family here, although her mother was the only one left there.

As for her husband's family, her husband is often busy all year round and is not at home. Since she started her business, the tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has made her physically and mentally exhausted, and even her son has been affected.

Thinking of his son, Song Niao made up his mind instantly.

"If I want to develop in Beijing, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Auntie, are you still running the supermarket now?"

"Of course, now that I heard that the tickets are going to be cancelled, it is much more convenient to get goods in my supermarket than before, and the flow of people has increased a lot."

"Then you've never thought about turning your supermarket into a national chain?"

"National chain? But my original intention was to do real estate, and I always thought it was a big cake."

"Auntie, that's not a problem! Is your startup capital the profit the supermarket gave you? Can't you do both? If the supermarket is run well, you can expand your business, accumulate connections, and have a place in the government's heart. Then, wouldn't it be much easier for you to enter the real estate industry in the future?"

Song Niao pondered over Jiang Yichen's words, and suddenly something dawned on him.

"Chengcheng, do you want us to cooperate? I think your ideas are sometimes very avant-garde, and I need a thoughtful military advisor like you to help me with strategies."

"Auntie, let's forget about the cooperation. Since ancient times, no matter how solid the relationship is, it will go separate ways because of interests. I recognize Wang Quan as a friend and don't want him to have a hard time in the future. But if you have any questions in the future, you can always consult me. Of course, I will charge a consulting fee."

"Haha! Jiang Yicheng, I was right about you. No matter what happens in the future, I, Song Niao, will never do anything to hurt you. I keep my word."

Song Niao liked Jiang Yichen's straightforward character and his willingness to speak his mind to her, so she promised sincerely.

Jiang Yicheng is not too serious. Time is the best way to tell a person's true character.

As a mother, Song Niao still talked to her about Wang Quan's future. Jiang Yicheng first asked her about her future plans for Wang Quan, and then expressed her own views.

Song Niao became concerned and decided to have a good talk with her son and pave the way for him.

At noon, Grandma Jiang prepared a table of delicious food. Even without mentioning Wang Quan's relationship, just based on Song Niao's identity as the landlord, she would be warmly received.

"Auntie, no wonder my son likes your house so much. Your food is so delicious. His father and I are often not at home, and his grandmother's food is bland and not to his liking. I'm afraid I'll have to bother you for a while in the future."

Song Niao held Grandma Jiang's hand, full of gratitude, thanking them for their love for Wang Quan and thanking her granddaughter for taking care of Wang Quan.

"It's okay. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks. It's not a big deal. Our whole family likes this child. Even my sister-in-law is very happy with him."

Song Niao didn't expect her son to be so capable, and she knew too little about him.

Hearing that Song Niao was going to send Wang Quan directly back to school, Jiang Yichen asked him to deliver food to grandfather so that she wouldn't have to make another trip.

Song Niao took Wang Quan away, and Grandma Jiang asked Jiang Yicheng what happened to Wang Quan. Jiang Yicheng didn't want to talk about her suggestions to Song Niao, so she told some of Wang Quan's family affairs.

"Wang Quan and his mother are such open-minded and generous people, what could his grandmother be dissatisfied with? She is so idle!"

Grandma Jiang treated Wang Quan as her own grandson, so she couldn't help but grumble about his shortcomings.

Jiang Yicheng thought, it's just that he's idle. If he doesn't want to live a comfortable life, he has to find faults and find something to do.

Song Niao and Wang Quan delivered the meal, thanked Grandpa Jiang specially, and left with Wang Quan.

She wanted to take this opportunity today to find out what her son was thinking so that she could choose his future path.

The other three shop owners at the school gate, except for Great Grandpa's shop, saw Song Niao delivering food to Grandpa Jiang, and hurried over to establish a relationship with him, but were casually dismissed by Grandpa Jiang.

When these three small shops were first opened, my great-grandfather's shop was indeed affected a little.

Later, after Jiang Yicheng taught them how to make French fries and spicy dried tofu, their business started to pick up again. Even if they bought food from the store next door, they would buy some from their store as a side dish.

Grandfather Jiang knew about their relationship, but he didn't go over to ask. He knew that if anything happened, his second brother would remind him.

His family is now much more well-off than before. His eldest grandson has gone to Beijing to attend university, and his granddaughter and youngest grandson are also studying nearby.

My eldest son grows watermelons in the countryside, which also brings in a lot of income. My only concern is my youngest son, who is almost 25 or 26 and still hasn’t gotten married.

There are many people in the village whose children are his age and can already help with cooking. I wanted to call him to tell him about it, but I couldn't find him. It was really frustrating.

"Boss, give me some fries!"

"Oh! Here we come!"

The business that came to his door dispelled his worries and he immediately put on a smile and greeted the customers.

After a relaxing day, when Jiang Yichen arrived at school the next day, he received the attention of his classmates.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Yicheng calmly sat in the back seat and asked his deskmate Zhang Ji in a low voice.

"I don't know. It was like this when we came in."

"Are they all possessed?"

"Sister Cheng, in broad daylight, is it possible?"

The four of them looked at each other. The bell rang and the head teacher Cao Fang walked in.

"Students, three days of exams have passed. I believe everyone has found out their weak points. We will discuss these papers after the college entrance examination results are released. Now let's continue studying and open the textbook to Unit 2."

Since the progress has been accelerated, they are already learning senior year content this semester.

But with Jiang Yichen's encouragement, Wang Quan and the other two learned more than their classmates, and the teacher's explanation only helped them consolidate the knowledge points.

In order not to be too far away from them, Luoyang also applied to change his seat and sat in the back row, separated from Zhang Ji by an aisle.

Two weeks later, the school hung a huge banner.

The top two scorers in the city’s college entrance exam went to No. 1 Middle School, but most of the senior high school students didn’t know the runner-up.

Because the runner-up was Jiang Yicheng, a sophomore in high school. She was only two points behind the top scorer, and her weaknesses were in Chinese and biology.

Jiang Yicheng was a little upset, she knew she would lose points for the composition. Because the topic of this composition was an argumentative essay about writing, she herself felt that she didn't grasp the direction well.

But the points she lost in politics and biology were really outrageous, as she relied entirely on rote memorization.

Great!

It seems that he was too confident. Jiang Yichen decided to change his study plan and spend more time on politics and biology.

As a future diplomat, you still need to be well-versed in political science.

Although the other four were not as perverted as Jiang Yicheng, they also showed their real abilities. Except for Yu Hansheng who was slightly better, the other three just managed to get ashore.

"Jiang Yicheng, do you have any opinion about me?"

The political teacher was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that my student only scored 82 points in politics compared to other subjects which had almost full marks.

"And me, although my score in biology is not high, you can't ignore it."

The biology teacher was a little disappointed with him, but at least he got 60 points, so it wasn't that embarrassing.

"I was careless, I was careless, I won't do it again next time."

Jiang Yicheng was a little embarrassed, and the two teachers didn't know what to say. Apart from these two subjects, she had already done quite well.
