Chapter 42: The Best University in the Country (Must-Read, Everyone Gets In!)

Mi Xia couldn’t help but laugh and cry. What was the point? She had gotten Zhang Xiaoyu drunk, and then went home and passed out herself.

After putting Mo Zhixia to sleep, she took Mo Haoyue into the space and poured him a cup of spiritual spring water.

“Wife, what’s wrong?” Mo Haoyue asked drowsily.

“Don’t fall asleep! I’m going to run you a bath,” Mi Xia said anxiously.

She filled a bathtub with water as quickly as possible. “Mo Haoyue, come here.”

She just said it casually, but unexpectedly, he obediently walked over.

“Good boy, take off your clothes,” Mi Xia said in a coaxing tone, like she was talking to a child.

“Come on, get in the tub for a bath.”

She hadn’t expected him to be so well-behaved when drunk. It was so funny; he was like a child! Hahahahahaha, Mi Xia burst out laughing.

While Mo Zhixia was still asleep, she went to the courtyard and brought Liu Zhaodi and Zhang Xiaobao over.

“Knock knock knock.”

Liu Zhaodi opened the door. “Xiaobao? Is he napping?”

Liu Zhaodi smiled. “Yes, he’s asleep.”

Mi Xia: “Then after he wakes up, could you take him to my place to play with Xiaxia and help me look after her?”

Liu Zhaodi: “Sure, I’ll take him over after he wakes up.”

“Okay, then I’ll go first.”

When she got home, Mo Zhixia was still asleep. Mi Xia carefully lay down beside her. Tomorrow was the day to report to school; she would send the two children to kindergarten first.

Then she and Mo Haoyue would go to register. The goods from Tiger Brother should arrive in the next two days. She would contact Zhang Xiaoyu once she received the telegram.

“Mama, are you asleep?” Mo Zhixia asked in a milky voice.

“No, Xiaxia, are you awake? Shall we go wash our hands?” Mi Xia coaxed.

“Okay, Mama.”

Mother and daughter dutifully went to wash their hands and faces. Back in the room, Mi Xia took out a lot of new toys and children’s drawing books from the space.

Mother and daughter hadn’t played for long when Mi Xia heard a knock on the door.

“Coming, just a moment.”

“I’m here to deliver a telegram,” a male voice came from outside.

Mi Xia opened the door, took the telegram, and said, “Thank you, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s alright, not at all.” He turned and left.

“Why are you standing at the door?” Liu Zhaodi asked curiously.

Mi Xia: “Someone just delivered a telegram. I haven’t finished reading it yet, and you’re already here. Come in quickly.”

“Hello, Auntie.” Zhang Xiaobao greeted sweetly.

“Hello, Xiaobao. Xiaxia is in the room; go ahead.”

As soon as Mi Xia finished speaking, Zhang Xiaobao hopped and skipped into the room.

“Let’s go in too,” Mi Xia beckoned.

In the little girl’s room, the two children played happily. Mo Zhixia explained the various toys to Zhang Xiaobao, and Xiaobao listened patiently.

“You go in and watch the children. I’ll wash some fruit. Thank you for your help,” Mi Xia said to Liu Zhaodi.

Liu Zhaodi nodded. Mi Xia took out some strawberries, bananas, cherries, and apples from the space.

They were all washed and cut and placed in plates.

Mi Xia: “I’ve washed them all. Give them to the children to eat.”

Liu Zhaodi: “Okay, I’ll take care of the children. You go ahead and do what you need to do.”

Liu Zhaodi knew that Zhang Xiaoyu worked for Mi Xia, so she would help whenever she could.

After returning to the room, Mi Xia entered the space. Mo Haoyue was still asleep. She first organized the supplies; tomorrow was the day to report to school.

After school started, she certainly wouldn’t have as much free time as she did now. She tidied up everything she could sell. In another two years, the economy would develop rapidly, and there would be no shortage of food then.

The most important thing now was to accumulate capital. She would open a shop and a factory in 1980. With that thought, she was instantly motivated.

Mo Haoyue didn’t wake up until 6 pm. Mi Xia took some McDonald’s snacks from the space and said later that she had made them herself.

After Mo Haoyue woke up, she took him out of the space and prepared to cook. Zhang Xiaoyu would probably come over tonight, so Mi Xia made eight dishes: stir-fried chicken, stir-fried shrimp, ribbonfish, stir-fried pork intestines, braised beef, chestnut chicken, chili scrambled eggs, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Zhang Xiaobao was delighted. Aunt Mi Xia’s cooking was delicious!

Zhang Xiaoyu was also happy. Although his wife’s cooking was also very good, it was still inferior to Mi Xia’s.

They didn’t drink tonight. Mo Haoyue also wanted to accompany Mi Xia to register, and Zhang Xiaoyu was relieved to see that Mo Haoyue hadn’t brought out any alcohol.

They had a happy dinner. Mo Haoyue sent Zhang Xiaoyu’s family off, and Mi Xia put the dishes and chopsticks directly into the dishwasher in the space.

She used spiritual spring water to bathe Mo Zhixia, and then she and Mo Haoyue rested.

They slept soundly. The next day, Mi Xia brought out everyone’s favorite breakfast; today was the day to send the two children to school.

Mi Xia had already told Zhang Xiaoyu last night that she would be sending the children to school this morning. Their family had just finished eating when Zhang Xiaoyu came with Xiaobao.

Mi Xia: “You’re here! Did you eat? If not, have some here.”

“We ate. Let’s go register the kids,” Zhang Xiaoyu said after seeing that they had finished eating.

Mi Xia: “Oh, I received a telegram yesterday afternoon. Tiger Brother’s younger brother will arrive tomorrow night. You should go pick him up then.”

Zhang Xiaoyu: “Okay, got it.”

After successfully sending the two children off, Mi Xia and her husband said goodbye to Zhang Xiaoyu and his family.

Mi Xia was going to register at Jingqing University. She planned to take a nap in the school dormitory at noon if she was tired and go home to sleep at night.

Mi Xia had already packed her luggage. She found an uncrowded place and handed her luggage to Mo Haoyue.

Today, Mi Xia wore a white sweater, black Dacron pants, a white fitted down jacket, and black loafers.

Her high nose bridge, red lips, and white teeth gave her a somewhat alluring yet slightly youthful look—not conflicting, but perfectly combined. She was not only stunning but also captivating.

Although Mo Haoyue was dressed in casual attire, his presence was powerful. His eyes revealed determination, and his aura was so strong that even standing next to Mi Xia without speaking, he commanded attention.

This deterred many who wanted to chat up Mi Xia.

Universities weren’t the same as in her past life, especially the 1978 class. It seemed everyone was actively absorbing knowledge from textbooks.

Only a few were unmotivated and took shortcuts. University was not only free, but the state also subsidized students—25 yuan and 33 catties of grain coupons per month.

At the university gate, some people carried their belongings in fertilizer sacks; some were accompanied by parents or relatives; others brought their wives and children.

When she attended university in her past life, her classmates were all around the same age. Even repeaters weren’t much older.

But it was different now. Looking around, there were seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls and boys, as well as twenty or thirty-year-old adults who looked somewhat mature, even weathered.

Mi Xia stood at the gate, watching the people coming and going. At this moment, she felt proud. On this day in 1978, she stood at the gate of Jingqing University, having achieved the top score in the S Province science exam, about to enter this century-old prestigious school.

Mo Haoyue was also proud. His wife was amazing.
