Jiang Muyan's words slightly surprised Jiang Mingqian and his wife. They then looked at Jiang Xiechuan, who nodded vigorously.
"Yes, my sister and I are both learning from Grandpa Zhou!"
Jiang Mingqian was overjoyed upon hearing this, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement:
"That's wonderful! Your Grandpa Zhou is one of the top physics experts in the country. His knowledge and achievements are extremely rare, even among universities in Beijing. Learning from Grandpa Zhou will be a hundred times more beneficial than studying at school!"
"Dad's absolutely right!" Jiang Xiechuan chimed in, his eyes brimming with excitement. "Grandpa Zhou tells us about new inventions and theories from abroad, many of which we've never even heard of before. It's so interesting!"
At first, he followed Grandpa Zhou to learn, but only with the intention of preparing for the college entrance examination. However, after studying for a while, he found that he was really fascinated by the knowledge and had long lost his perfunctory attitude.
Although Meng Wanqiu still felt sorry for her daughter suffering here, seeing her daughter's firm attitude and thinking that learning from Grandpa Zhou would greatly benefit both children, she finally relented.
She looked at Jiang Muyan, her tone gentle yet admonishing:
"Mu Yan, your parents respect your decision. If you ever want to go back to Beijing, just call home anytime. You don't need to work so hard to earn work points; I'll send you money and necessities on time!"
Seeing the concern in Meng Wanqiu's eyes, Jiang Muyan couldn't bear to refuse and nodded with a smile, "Okay, don't worry, Xie Chuan and Grandpa and Grandma are here, I'll be fine!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xiechuan quickly came over and carefully reminded her, "Mu Yan, I'm the third oldest in the family, your own third brother!" As he finished speaking, he looked at her expectantly, his thoughts straightforward and ardent.
Jiang Muyan chuckled at his pitiful appearance. Composing herself, she looked at him seriously and softly called out, "Third Brother."
"Yes! Yes! Little sister!" Jiang Xiechuan responded happily, and hurriedly said, "If you need anything in the future, just come to your third brother. We're twins, we've been together since we were in the womb! Don't side with your eldest and second brothers when the time comes!"
Jiang Xiechuan suddenly felt like he had found an ally. In the past, his older brothers would always gang up on him to bully him. When they were little, he had thought about getting Jiang Chuyao to take his side, but he really didn't like Jiang Chuyao's personality, so he could only fight alone. Now that he had a younger sister, he was finally not alone anymore.
Hearing her son's words, Meng Wanqiu playfully slapped him: "What are you saying, child? Your older brothers are busy in the army, they don't have time to bully you!"
Then she turned to Jiang Muyan and introduced her softly, "Muyan, besides you and Xie Chuan, you have two older brothers. The eldest brother is called Jiang Xiexi, and the second brother is called Jiang Xiejing. They are both currently serving in the military."
Jiang Mingqian added, "You also have four cousins, from your eldest and second uncles' families. We'll introduce you to them one by one after you return to Beijing."
Jiang Xiechuan said with a smile, "Little sister, you're the only girl in our Jiang family. From now on, all of us brothers will protect you!"
After saying that, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, as if remembering Jiang Muyan's abilities and that she didn't need their protection.
"Okay, then I'll rely on Third Brother to protect me from now on." Jiang Muyan agreed with a smile, feeling warm inside. She found that she liked the atmosphere of this family more and more.
Just then, her gaze inadvertently met Fu Moxuan's. The man's eyes were filled with an irrepressible, doting smile, which made Jiang Muyan's heart tremble. A blush crept onto her cheeks, and she quickly looked away.
This scene was witnessed by Meng Wanqiu, who had been keeping a close eye on her daughter. As someone who had been through it all, she could see the unspoken affection between her daughter and Fu Moxuan, and a feeling of reluctance suddenly welled up in her heart.
Mu Yan didn't grow up by her side. She finally found her again, only to discover she already had someone she liked. Who knows how much longer her daughter will stay in the countryside? In a few years, she'll be of marriageable age. How many more days will she have left to spend with her child?
--------------
After dinner, the task of washing the pots and pans naturally fell to Jiang Xiechuan and Fu Moxuan, while Meng Wanqiu and Jiang Mingqian accompanied Jiang Muyan for a walk in the open space in front of the dormitory. Jiang Xiaobai skipped and hopped along beside them, running around happily.
By the time Jiang Xiechuan and his companion finished packing, it was already dark, and the group set off for the cowshed.
Upon arriving at the cowshed, we knocked on the door and entered. Several elderly people had already tidied up and were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) chatting.
When Grandpa Zhou saw Meng Wanqiu and Jiang Mingqian, he smiled and said:
"I knew it! These two kids are so smart, turns out they're yours!"
The two elderly people in the Zhou family only learned in the afternoon that Jiang Muyan was the Meng family's granddaughter, and they felt that fate was so wonderful.
Jiang Mingqian and Meng Wanqiu quickly stepped forward to greet the Zhou family elders. Jiang Mingqian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Uncle Zhou, you flatter me. It's all thanks to your excellent teaching. These two children are fortunate to have your favor."
Grandpa Zhou waved his hand, his face full of satisfaction:
"It's not a hassle at all, I'm happy to teach them! These two kids grasp things very quickly and can even apply what they've learned to other situations. Teaching them is easy and pleasant."
As he spoke, he added with emotion, "Besides, if it weren't for Xie Chuan and Mu Yan, I'm afraid I would have stayed in this small mountain village for the rest of my life."
Madam Zhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but briefly recount how Jiang Muyan had treated Old Master Zhou. Jiang Mingqian and Meng Wanqiu were filled with surprise, but even more so with pride.
They hadn't expected their daughter to be so skilled in medicine. But the more outstanding their daughter was, the more their hearts ached for her—growing up in such difficult circumstances and still becoming so excellent, their daughter must have suffered so much more than ordinary people.
Over here, after seeing Jiang Muyan, Grandpa Meng and Grandma Meng couldn't wait to come to her side.
"My dear child, when I first saw you, I thought you looked a lot like your grandmother. I never imagined you were really our child! You've suffered so much these past years, my child!"
Grandma Jiang couldn't help but tear up: "Good child, it's so good to be back! I never imagined that it would be my own granddaughter who cured my illness!"
Seeing the two of them getting agitated, Jiang Muyan quickly smiled and comforted them.
She felt that perhaps it was God's arrangement that led her to choose this brigade to go to the countryside, and then so many coincidences occurred.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Old Master Zhou couldn't wait to pull Jiang Xiechuan and Jiang Muyan into the inner room to study.
Ever since he learned of his two children's talents, Grandpa Zhou couldn't wait to pass on all the knowledge he had learned to them.
Jiang Mingqian and Meng Wanqiu were also witnessing their children's extraordinary learning ability for the first time. The two children listened to Zhou Lao's lectures without any difficulty, but rather listened with great interest, and occasionally asked some unique questions. No wonder Zhou Lao praised them highly.
