In the blink of an eye, it’s time to take the final exam papers and see the results and go on winter vacation.
Jiang Xin ranked second in her grade, and this was the result of her deliberately letting herself go.
Even so, it still caused a sensation.
There are various legends about Jiang Xin in the school.
"There is a classmate named Jiang Xin in the graduating class who got full marks in the math competition!"
"Jiang Xin has just been in the graduating class for a little over a month, and in time for the final exam, he just took the exam and ranked second in the grade. It's amazing!"
"Jiang Xin is a genius."
…
Jiang Ying ranked first in the class in the final exam. However, except for the teacher's praise, it did not cause any sensation. Jiang Ying was very puzzled.
When Mu Lan heard about the results of Jiang Xin and Jiang Ying, she told Dali privately, "Xinxin knows how to hide his clumsiness, while Yingying is too competitive."
Dali didn't quite understand, "Why do you say that? Maybe Xinxin also wanted to be first in the exam, but she just didn't get it."
Mu Lan waved her hands repeatedly, "You thought wrong. Have you forgotten what I do?"
Dali smiled and said, "Then tell me, what should I do in this situation? Do you want to have a good chat with Yingying and stop being so competitive?"
Mu Lan sighed, "I haven't figured out how to talk to Yingying yet. I always feel that she has matured a lot in recent times, but she has not matured to the level of stability like Xinxin. This may be because of Yingying's young age.
I feel confident when Xinxin does things, but Yingying has some impulsiveness that is inappropriate for her age, maybe I’m overthinking it.”
Dali also felt that Mu Lan was overthinking it, but he was too embarrassed to tell her directly, so he changed the subject, "Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to hire someone to repair the Mu family's old house? Have you found someone?"
This successfully diverted Mu Lan's attention, "Well, we've already found it."
"Have you ever thought about planting some flowers and plants in the Mu family's old house and hiring a worker to take care of it every week?"
"I've thought about it, but it requires an expense."
"Don't worry about money. The money we invest in Chengyan is expected to be paid a lot of dividends at the end of the year."
They didn't know that these words fell in Jiang Ying's ears.
Jiang Ying returned to her bedroom and whispered, "Am I impulsive? Why don't I feel it? Isn't it bad to be the first in the exam?"
Afterwards, Jiang Ying ran to find Jiang Xin.
He asked in a low voice, "Sister, did you fail to take the first place on purpose?"
Jiang Xin covered her mouth and smiled, "How did you know?"
Jiang Ying was surprised, "Why can't you take the first place in the exam but refuse to take the first place? How can second place be better than first place?"
Jiang Xin explained with a smile, "I just jumped to the graduating class for more than a month. It would be too eye-catching if I took the first place in the exam. You don't know, even if I took the second place this time, it still caused a sensation in the school.
If I had known I would have been too low-key."
Jiang Ying sighed, "Sister, I also skipped a grade and got first place in the class. It didn't seem to cause any sensation. Only the Chinese and math teachers praised me, and the classmates in the class didn't envy me..."
"That's because the classmates in your class don't quite understand the meaning of rankings. I'd rather the classmates in our class don't quite understand the meaning of rankings. Yingying, it looks like you want to cause a sensation."
Jiang Ying did not deny it, "Yes, I want everyone in the school to know that I am very good at studying! I also want all my classmates to envy me!"
Jiang Xin gently rubbed Jiang Ying's head and said, "Learning is your own business. There is no need to let others know that you are great, and there is no need to make others envy you.
Just like how you live your life, whether you are happy or not is not decided by others, but by yourself."
Jiang Ying thoughtfully said, "No one has told me this before. I always thought that in studying, you have to get first place and let others know that you are great. Sister, thank you for telling me this."
Hearing this, Jiang Xin felt a little apologetic, "Yingying, I'm sorry! I rarely told you this before. I'm not a competent sister. If you don't understand something in the future, you must ask me more."
A cute smile appeared on Jiang Ying's face, "Okay, sister, if I do something wrong in the future, just tell me. I won't hold a grudge against you."
Jiang Xin gently pinched the tip of Jiang Ying's nose and said, "My Yingying is the best. She never holds grudges against me."
Jiang Ying took advantage of the situation and acted coquettishly in Jiang Xin's arms, "Sister, give me a hug!"
Jiang Xin had a smile on her face. Yingying in this life was more coquettish than the previous one.
After the winter vacation, Jiang Ying volunteered to go back to live with her parents.
Jiang Xin still lives at her uncle's house because she has to help out at her grandma's noodle shop.
Qin Shulan felt sorry for Jiang Xin and allowed her to help for up to three hours a day.
The rest of the time, Jiang Xin will read or exercise.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Little New Year.
Jiang Xin bought a lot of annual goods and delivered them to Chen Juan's residence.
Jiang Xin saw Chen Yuandan. Chen Yuandan, who was wearing new cotton pants and jacket, looked much fatter than before. He looked at Jiang Xin intently.
Jiang Xin was embarrassed not to hug her.
Jiang Xin hugged her, soft and cute. At this moment, Jiang Xin forgot about the Jiang Dan in the previous life, and couldn't help but get intimate with the little baby in front of her.
The little baby actually burst out laughing.
Jiang Xin was amused by her.
The baby's eyes are clear and bright, and he looks so harmless.
Jiang Xin unconsciously looked at her a few more times and hugged her for a while.
Jiang Xin's change in attitude towards Yuan Dan was noticed by Chen Juan.
Chen Juan simply found a reason to let the two of them get along for a while.
"Xinxin, please help me look at Yuandan for a while, and I'll go out to buy something."
Just when Jiang Xin was about to refuse, the baby's hand suddenly placed on her mouth.
She couldn't say the refusal, "Okay, sister-in-law, but you have to go and come back quickly. I'm afraid she will pee after a while and I don't know what to do."
Chen Juan smiled and said, "Don't worry, our Yuan Dan is a sensible baby. He has never peed or pooped his pants since he was one month old.
She rarely cries at ordinary times. She only cries twice to remind her before peeing. If she has a smelly bowel movement, she will cry five or six times to remind her. When she hears the cries, just give her a pee. If you hold her all the time, she will be very tired and she won’t.
When she cries, just put her on the bed."
After Jiang Xin heard these words, he was even more sure that the baby in front of him was not Jiang Dan from the previous life.
Because in the previous life, Jiang Dan never cried to remind his family that they needed to pee. He would only cry after peeing.
"Sister-in-law, I understand. You should go shopping quickly."
"Okay."
Chen Juan went out carrying the basket.
Only Jiang Xin and the baby were left at home.
Jiang Xin couldn't help but whispered, "Yuandan, are you so sensible because your sister-in-law raised you, or are you born sensible?"
The little baby giggled again.
Jiang Xin put her on the bed, and she kicked her legs and stretched her arms, having a great time.
Jiang Xin stretched out his fingers to touch her hand. She held Jiang Xin's hand and refused to let go.
This grip made Jiang Xin feel like she wanted to treat Yuan Dan as her own sister.
