Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

The three of them dragged Shang Guokang back into the house with great effort before He Lingling finally explained on his behalf.

“Auntie, Yanfang, Xiaokang really did become the top scholar in the imperial examination. I was so excited that I shouted it out. Then a group of people chased us, so we ran, and Xiaokang lost one of his shoes while running.”

He Lingling was a little out of breath when she spoke.

When Shang's mother heard this, she was still in a daze. Had her son really become the top scholar in the imperial examination?

"Lingling, how did you do on the exam?" Shang Yanfang had accepted this fact even earlier than her mother.

"I didn't see mine; Xiaokang's was the first one I saw," He Lingling said, somewhat dejectedly.

"It's alright, we'll have Gao Jianguo come and check it for us later, and he'll also look at your score. The bicycle is still there," Shang Yanfang reassured her.

"Okay, thank you Yanfang, I'll head back now."

Shang Guokang woke up after Gao Jianguo finished work.

Shang Yanfang told Gao Jianguo about what happened this morning. Gao Jianguo decided to go to the commune after lunch to ride his bicycle back and check the scores.

Shang Guokang was still angry. Although he himself did not believe that the top scholar had passed the imperial examination, it was still hurtful that his own mother did not believe him even after he explained.

"Sister Shang, Sister Shang. Grandpa is bringing people over here." The team leader's grandson ran over.

"Dog Egg, what are those people doing here? Do you know?" Shang Yanfang came out of the room after hearing the shout.

"It seems like he was the top scholar or something," Gou Dan said, tilting his breasts.

"Okay, Gou Dan, here's some candy for you to take out and play!" After sending Gou Dan away, Shang Yanfang rushed into the house.

"Mom, it's true! The brigade leader has brought people to see our family's top scholar."

"Really?! Hahaha! My Xiaokang has made something of himself!" Shang's mother laughed happily.

"Mother, those people will be coming to our house soon."

"Xiaokang, your mother is so proud of you." Shang's mother was already coaxing her son.

"Hmph." Shang Guokang realized that he wouldn't be easy to coax today.

When Shang's mother saw that coaxing the little brat was no longer working, she slapped him on the head.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Shang Guokang asked, puzzled. Wasn't she trying to comfort him? Why were they fighting?

"What are you doing? Stand up straight. You'd better behave yourself when the people come." Once Shang's mother got stern, Shang Guokang would cower.

"Yes, Mother." Shang Guokang replied, looking aggrieved.

Gao Jianguo returned on his bicycle at that moment. "Wife, you did very well on the exam. You came in eighth place. Xiaokang is truly the top student."

As soon as Gao Jianguo finished speaking, the courtyard settled down.

Director Wang and a group of leaders were standing at the entrance.

"Great, that's wonderful! Two college students in one family!" Director Wang broke the silence of the courtyard.

"Good, your Kaoshan Brigade has really become famous this time. You have twenty of the top fifty in the county. Captain Lu, you are a good captain."

A steady stream of praise and compliments came from the leader.

"No, no, top scholar, let's take a look at this year's top scholar." Captain Lu couldn't withstand the barrage of questions from the group, so he directly steered the conversation back to Shang Guokang.

"Comrade Shang Guokang, as this year's top scorer, what do you have to say?" People from the newspaper also came along and started interviewing Shang Guokang directly.

"For this, I must thank our country, our commune, and our brigade. The country gave us the opportunity to go to university again."

The commune staff went to great lengths to help us with the exams, and the brigade leader was incredibly tolerant and understanding of us test-takers. Shang Guokang's words filled Shang Yanfang with immense admiration.

That's a well-chosen statement.

The group posed for a photo with the ties, received their awards, and that was the end of it.

Tonight, her family has two soon-to-be college students, and Shang's mother has prepared a lot of delicious food.

"Mom, my little brother and I are both planning to take the entrance exam for the university in our area. Once we receive our acceptance letters, let's go home! We'll come home for the New Year this year," Shang Yanfang said earnestly to her mother.

"Okay, let's go home for the New Year." After thinking about her daughter's suggestion, Mrs. Shang agreed.

A few days later, Shang Yanfang and Shang Guokang's admission notices arrived one after another.

Shang Guokang is in the medical school at Peking University, and Shang Yanfang is in the law school at Peking University.

Those who received their admission notices gradually began preparing their belongings to go home for the Chinese New Year and then head directly to the school.

He Lingling, Li Zhaodi, and Liu Yan are all from Peking University, but they are not in the same major.

Yesterday, several people brought things they couldn't take with them and were reluctant to part with to Shang Yanfang's house.

"It's perfect that you're here. I was just about to call you." Shang Yanfang was also very happy to see them.

"You don't need to call us, we've come ourselves." The group, carrying their allotted rice, flour, and cooking oil, prepared to make dumplings one last time.

"Yanfang, thank you." Li Zhaodi was the worst student among them. If Shang Yanfang hadn't arranged for her to study with her beforehand, it would have been a problem whether she could have gotten into university.

"Why are you being so polite?" Shang Yanfang naturally knew why she was thanking her.

"Come, come, Gao Jianguo's cooking is delicious." Shang Yanfang took the food from the group and invited them to sit down.

"Yanfang, we're leaving tomorrow. This is my home address. You need to come find me." He Lingling handed Shang Yanfang a piece of paper with her home address written on it.

"mine,"

“Mine,” Li Zhaodi and Liu Yan also took out a piece of paper and handed it to Shang Yanfang.

Shang Yanfang took the addresses from the group and went back to her room to write down her home address for them.

Several good friends have left, and Shang Yanfang and the others will be going back soon too.

"Honey, Grandpa doesn't want to go to Beijing, what should we do?" Shang Yanfang planned to settle down in Beijing this time and not come back.

"Wife, let's go over there first, find a place, and get everything settled before we come back to pick up Grandpa." Gao Jianguo knew his grandfather was afraid of causing them trouble if they went over there.

"That works too. We'll prepare more food, drinks and other necessities for Grandpa before we leave. He's in good health now and should be able to take care of himself."

"Okay, we'll do it your way." Gao Jianguo looked at the three little ones in the bed and held his wife in his arms, extremely satisfied.

The next day, Gao Jianguo mailed all the luggage his wife had prepared, as it would be too inconvenient for the four adults and three children to carry their own luggage.

"Grandpa, you must take good care of yourself. I'll come back to visit you during my vacation." Shang Yanfang looked at Grandpa Chen with reluctance.

"Study hard, girl," Grandpa Chen instructed Shang Yanfang.

"You little brat, take good care of your wife and kids." When it comes to Gao Jianguo, the old man is like a completely different person.

"Okay, Grandpa. You must take good care of yourself. If anything happens, go to the brigade leader." Gao Jianguo reminded him with concern.
