Chapter 940: Chapter 922: Sangzhi Ranked First in Her Entire Department! (33)
The journey was long, and after more than a day on the road, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi finally arrived at Shuangya Mountain.
Chen Huifen had sent them the location via WeChat, and so Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi took a cab home following the address.
As they got closer to home, Pu Sangzhi felt increasingly excited.
After all, it had been a long time since she last saw her parents.
Seeing her growing excitement, Ye Xi’s lips curled into a faint smile. He said nothing, simply accompanying her.
Along the way, he steadily led her and found her home!
In a small village in Shuangya Mountain, Chen Huifen and Pu Wenhua lived in a two-story concrete house in the village.
From the outside, the house was by no means luxurious; it was similar to the houses where other villagers lived.
Simple and plain, yet it had the ambiance of small village life.
Pu Sangzhi didn’t expect it. Brother Ye Xi said his father’s company was publicly listed, yet they lived in such a modest house.
Seeing this house, Pu Sangzhi felt a slight thrill in her heart.
Because this house was very similar to the ancestral home left to them by their grandmother, it made Pu Sangzhi feel the simplicity of life, as if she had returned to the days at Longxiang High School.
She liked such simple houses, simple lives...
When Ye Xi and she found the house according to the house number, Chen Huifen, who couldn’t wait at home, stepped out to look...
And so, the three of them met...
"Mom!"
As soon as she saw Chen Huifen, Pu Sangzhi cried out in surprise!
She immediately ran towards Chen Huifen, unable to stop smiling, her mood as clear as the blue sky.
"Mom~"
It had been a long time since Pu Sangzhi acted coyly. At this moment, she rushed into Chen Huifen’s arms, hugging her neck tightly.
Rubbing her small face against Chen Huifen’s neck, she murmured softly, "Mom, I missed you so much..."
"Oh, Xiaosang... you’re going to make Brother Ye Xi laugh..."
Chen Huifen gently patted Pu Sangzhi’s back, her warm gaze also falling upon Ye Xi.
Ye Xi walked over leisurely, pushing two suitcases, and nodded with a smile when he reached Chen Huifen, "Aunt Hui."
"Ah, you both are here."
Chen Huifen said with a smile, "The journey must have been tiring, right?"
Only then did Pu Sangzhi disengage from Chen Huifen, pouting a little and saying coyly, "Mom, I haven’t seen you for so long."
"I haven’t seen you for a long time either."
Chen Huifen earnestly examined Pu Sangzhi, scanning her from head to toe.
She hadn’t lost much weight, wasn’t tanned, and was still the beautiful daughter in her memory.
Judging by the looks, college life didn’t seem too harsh on her.
Her daughter studying at Tsinghua, looked as if she was living without pressure, unfettered.
Chen Huifen felt a sense of relief, "That’s good, not thin, not fat, just the same as before!"
"Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi nodded with a smile.
"Come, come, let’s go inside. I’ve made dinner."
Chen Huifen hurriedly invited them both inside.
Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi went into the house together with Chen Huifen...
Though the concrete house looked very simple from the outside, the interior was quite nice.
Both the living room and the kitchen had tiled floors, the walls were also tiled, and the house looked clean and neat.
The furnishings at home were simple; the living room had mahogany furniture, and there was also a TV in the living room.
It had been years since Pu Sangzhi saw such luxury items as a TV in her home...
She sighed inwardly, marveling at how her family’s situation had finally improved a bit...
"Your rooms are all upstairs."
Chen Huifen pointed to the second floor, "Take your luggage up first, pick whichever room you like, I’ve made up the beds. There’s chicken stewing in the kitchen, I’ll go check on it."
"Go ahead, Mom," Pu Sangzhi agreed.
Then, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi carried their suitcases upstairs.
There were four rooms in total on the second floor, as it was a house made by combining two rooms.
One master bedroom was obviously the room belonging to Chen Huifen and her husband, which Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi naturally ignored.
There were two opposite rooms left, and Chen Huifen had made up the beds in these two rooms, indicating they could choose which one to stay in.
Ye Xi asked Pu Sangzhi, "Which room do you want?"
Pu Sangzhi asked him instead, "Brother Ye Xi, which room do you want?"
Ye Xi replied, "I don’t mind, you choose first."
"I don’t mind either. Then I’ll take this one."
After saying so, Pu Sangzhi picked up her suitcase and casually walked into one of the rooms, and then Ye Xi pushed his suitcase into the other room.
Afterward, Ye Xi stood at the door of Pu Sangzhi’s room, turned on her room’s light, and quietly observed her room.
Her room was a small room without a balcony, but it had a wardrobe, mirror, and dressing table, looking suitable for a girl.
Ye Xi looked back at his room and thought, still asking Pu Sangzhi, "That room has a balcony, seems to have better lighting, do you want to go to that room?"
"No need, Brother Ye Xi,"
Pu Sangzhi declined, "I think this is fine. The room doesn’t seem bright; it’s better for sleeping at night. Besides, I won’t be in the room every day, so this is quite suitable."
Ye Xi heard her say this and naturally didn’t insist, "Alright."
"Brother Ye Xi, aren’t you going to unpack your luggage?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
"I’ll do it in a while."
Ye Xi looked around this home, "Actually, living in such rural houses is the most comfortable. With a square layout, any design works. If you lay the foundation well, you can live here for decades without snakes, rats, or insects."
"I also like this kind of house,"
Pu Sangzhi shared the same thought, "Such homes feel like they have plenty of space. In fact, houses like these in the village can comfortably accommodate a large family. While those small apartments, especially the really small ones... make living with a family of three feel suffocating."
"Yes."
Ye Xi nodded, "So now, in many rural areas, villagers are building villas. If this house is torn down and rebuilt, it can turn into a villa. If you don’t work in the city in the future, building a house you like in a small village can also lead to a peaceful life."
"Exactly~"
Pu Sangzhi nodded earnestly, "Actually, I also enjoy living in a small village. However, for young people, it’s still suitable to develop in towns and cities. After all, the resources in big cities are better..."
Ye Xi said, "Hmm."
Pu Sangzhi wasn’t too worried about her future life, nor about whether she would live in a small rural villa or a city apartment.
Because she believed, she would definitely get to live in the Royal Garden.
Huo Feng would work towards it together with her!
"Brother Ye Xi, I want to change and unpack. Do you want to go back to your room to unpack?" Pu Sangzhi asked.
Coming to his senses, Ye Xi quickly nodded, "Hmm, I’ll go unpack too."
Then, he turned and went back to his room, closing the door behind him.
Pu Sangzhi also closed her room door and plopped onto the bed.
She immediately picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Huo Feng, telling him she had arrived home.
Just then, after sending the message to Huo Feng, Jiang Tao, their class advisor, released the scores for all subjects of this exam in their class group.
The winter vacation had just started, and the exam scores were already out, both fast and efficient...
Pu Sangzhi opened the file sent by Jiang Tao in the group and immediately saw her name at the top line!
This exam week, she took more than a dozen subjects...
Pu Sangzhi’s scores were the highest in the department, with perfect scores in several subjects, and even in those that weren’t, she only lost a few points...
In short, her results were the best in the entire department, highlighted in red in the document, probably so everyone in the group could see that Pu Sangzhi was the top student...
Jiang Tao mentioned everyone in the group, notifying everyone: [The results released now are not just exam scores; they include usual class performance and homework scores. Please pay attention to your scores! The GPA for this semester hasn’t been calculated yet, and will be notified separately after it is!]
After reading the message, Pu Sangzhi realized that the scores in this document already included class performance and homework scores.
She suddenly felt a bit of admiration for herself...
Getting perfect scores on written exams, Pu Sangzhi had always been confident.
But to combine classroom and homework scores with perfect exam scores, that’s no easy feat!
The fact that Pu Sangzhi had perfect scores in so many subjects was proof of how hard she had worked academically this semester!
After that, Jiang Tao privately messaged Pu Sangzhi: [Student Sangzhi, you really made me proud! Extra good news for you, I can apply for a scholarship for you now~]
Seeing the words ’scholarship,’ Pu Sangzhi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately replied: [Thank you, counselor.]
