After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"How about this? I'll go with you this afternoon to take a look and find out the details. If it's suitable, we'll finalize it," Lin Hao said to Manager Sun.

The two agreed to take action that afternoon.

"Also, your little grandson will be coming every day from now on, so you'll have to tell him when you get back. I never imagined we'd have such a connection!" Lin Hao said with a smile, looking at Manager Sun.

Manager Sun Er was surprised that his grandson could actually be selected. After all, Enge'er was too young and still quite naive. A surprised smile appeared on his face.

"I'll be relying on you from now on!"

"What's the trouble? They can keep each other company from now on!"

So, Manager Sun had another meal at the Gu residence. In the afternoon, Lin Hao and he went to Ningyuan County. When they returned, they were both smiling, which showed that things were going very smoothly.

A gentle night breeze was blowing. Today was Gu Liunian's first day at the academy, and naturally, he would talk to the old lady about the situation in the evening. Therefore, dinner was held at Rongshou Hall.

The family sat together, not adhering to the rules of not speaking while eating or sleeping, and chatted happily.

"Father, Brother Sun En will be with me from now on!" Little Baozi Gu Yu excitedly told his father about his little friend.

"Hmm." Gu Liunian responded indifferently, seemingly not taking it too seriously.

Lin Hao couldn't stand seeing him like this, so she said to the little bun, "Baby, you don't know, both Brother Fang Hu and Brother Sun En were chosen by your father!"

Seeing the little boy's surprised look, Lin Hao told him everything she had learned from Tu Bai.

"He looked at them for a long time, investigating their age, personality, and family situation, and finally picked out these two from several people for you to choose from!"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the little boy's eyes lit up even more, and his smile became even brighter. So his father cared about him this much! He had thought his father didn't know!

Gu Liunian originally felt that what he did was what he should do, but after Lin Hao said that, he felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing his son looking at him with bright eyes, he coughed and said, "If you like it, that's good."

"Yes, I like it!"

"How was your day at the academy?" Lin Hao was still very curious. After all, Gu Liunian was indeed older than most of the students at the academy, and he had been busy with administrative affairs for many years. She wondered if he could still keep up.

"It's alright." Gu Liunian didn't want to say much, but seeing the person looking at him expectantly, he still said a few more words.

"Today I first went to see the teacher, and after the examination, I was assigned to Class A. My classmates are all quite nice!"

"Class A, is it the best class?" Lin Hao grasped a key point, and the grandfather and grandson beside him looked at him with concern.

Under the gaze of these three pairs of eyes, Gu Liunian remained unfazed and said, "Just lucky."

These words were an admission, and Lin and the others immediately became happy.

The old lady exclaimed, "Quick, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes! We need to celebrate properly!"

"Mother, there's no need for this!" Gu Liunian didn't want to make such a fuss.

Before the old lady could say anything, Lin Hao stopped him: "This is such a happy occasion, what's wrong with letting us celebrate! You're really tight-lipped, aren't you? If I hadn't asked, were you planning to just let it go like this?"

Gu Liunian naturally thought the same way. It wasn't like he had passed the imperial examination; it was just an internal ranking within the academy, nothing to brag about.

However, seeing the way the others were acting, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

Seeing him shut up, Lin Hao and the old lady were overjoyed. After all, given that Gu Liunian hadn't touched a book in a long time, his ability to enter Class A in one fell swoop undoubtedly gave them great confidence.

Seeing his grandmother and mother so happy, the little boy was also very happy and said, "I want to be in Class A when I grow up."

"Great! Our Yu-ge'er will also be in Class A in the future." The old lady smiled from ear to ear, affectionately stroking her grandson's head.

"Today, Manager Sun and I went to Ningyuan County and finalized the location for the new restaurant. The place there already existed as a restaurant, so the changes will be easy. I think it won't be long before our new restaurant opens!"

Lin Hao recounted what had happened to her that day, and upon hearing it, the old lady smiled and said, "That's a triple celebration!"

“Yes, then we should definitely celebrate!” Lin Hao agreed with a smile.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, chatting and laughing for a good half hour, and even the food had to be reheated.

After the meal, the family was chatting when a messenger announced: Master He has arrived!

The newcomer was dressed in a long blue robe, somewhat thin, with an elegant demeanor and a humble yet dignified air. He bowed to the group.

Gu Liunian introduced to everyone: "This is Master He, the tutor I invited for Yu-ge'er. He is now a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations)."

At the old lady's prompting, the little boy stood up, gave Teacher He a proper student's salute, and said solemnly, "Greetings, Teacher!"

"Hmm." Master He looked at the little bun, his expression fairly satisfied.

"We invited Master He here today to examine Yu-ge'er's studies," Gu Liunian explained to the group, implying that Master He also wanted to assess Yu-ge'er's aptitude.

"Sweetie, the teacher is going to ask you some questions in a little while. You have to answer them carefully, okay?" Lin Hao explained to the little bun because she was afraid he wouldn't understand.

"Okay." The little boy answered seriously. He knew that he had to answer the questions well for the teacher to be willing to teach him.

"What books have you been reading before?" Master He asked with a warm smile.

"I'm reading the Three Character Classic," the little boy replied earnestly.

“Then recite a passage for me to hear.”

"At the beginning of life, people are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are different..." The child's tender voice recited fluently, and Master He's expression became more and more satisfied.

"Then do you know what it means?"

"I know. It means that everyone is born good, but because of the different education they receive later, their habits become different..."

The little boy's answer was very fluent, clearly showing that he truly understood the material rather than just reciting it verbatim, which made Master He even more satisfied.

He smiled at Gu Liunian and said, "As expected of a child personally taught by the great talent Gu!"

"From now on, Brother He will be in charge of teaching me!"

"Haha, if you make a name for yourself in the future, it will be my achievement, and it will have nothing to do with you, Ziheng!" Master He joked with Gu Liunian.

"Alright, it's all your credit!" Gu Liunian didn't argue with him.

"You're getting more and more boring!" Master He shook his head, looking helpless.

"You two knew each other before?" Lin Hao asked curiously, watching the two exchange words.
