Feng Yanhong closed the stall early with a smile on her face and returned home early with Li Boshan.
"Mom, Brother Boshan passed the exam! Ranked fifth in the province and third in the city!"
Bai Xiu, who was cooking, was startled by Feng Yanhong. He blinked and looked at Li Boshan, who was standing side by side with Feng Yanhong, as if he didn't react for a moment.
"It can't be tomorrow... Oh my God! Third place?"
Bai Xiu finally understood, and while wiping her hands, she rushed out of the kitchen excitedly.
"Aunt Bai, she is fifth in the province and third in the city." Li Boshan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Third in the city, that's also the third place, the third...Old Feng! Wait, let your Uncle Feng kill the chicken for you, and call your parents and two younger brothers later.
come over."
"Mom, don't worry...you don't care about this pot?"
"It's okay. I just finished it. Hey, don't worry. Let's cook some vegetables and eat some rice. Why don't you take it down? What am I going to do?"
Bai Xiu took two steps out and then stepped back, with a smile on her face, but she was really at a loss.
Feng Yanhong stroked her forehead. Her mother was in complete chaos now. She should have endured it just now.
"Mom, don't worry, let's take our time, it's just the third place, we won't..."
"Then when did you get the third place in my exam? Not to mention the third place in the city, I'm afraid that you two siblings will be at the bottom every year!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and start cooking. I'll ask your father to come back and kill the chicken, then the rabbit, and take out two more sausages from me."
Feng Yanhong originally just wanted Bai Xiu to be quiet, but she didn't expect to be exposed again, so she could only shut her mouth and listen to her mother's orders.
"I'll ask Bosong to call Yanjun back, and I'll come back later to help you."
"No, I told him and he will come back later after cleaning up."
She understands her mother's temper best. For such a big happy event, her mother has restrained her temper even if she doesn't set off firecrackers.

The two families got together and made a big table full of things. Only her mother was the happiest at the table. She praised Li Boshan for a long time, and the other two brothers also praised her.
When she saw her and Yanjun, she had a different look. It was really not a good feeling to be stepped on and used as a backing all the time.
She seems to know the reason why she and Li Boshan are gradually estranged. Who can bear to be compared with a top student every day?
In her mother's eyes, the two siblings were not even worthy of carrying Li Boshan's shoes. He was a star in the sky, and they were just mud in the gutter...
"Well, this dish is really good. Was it made by Yanhong?" Ji Shuying probably noticed Feng Yanhong's embarrassment and calmly interrupted Bai Xiu.
"We are Yanhong, and we can only cook well. If your in-laws have delicious food, eat more of it. We are our own family members, so there is no need to be polite."
"Who said we, Yanhong, can only cook? Then we are also doing very well in business. We all have our own strengths. I have never been good at cooking in my life."
Ji Shuying resolved Feng Yanhong's embarrassment with a few words, and the atmosphere at the dinner table gradually returned to normal. By the time it was almost over, everyone seemed to have forgotten the purpose of the meal.
Before leaving, Bai Xiu squealed and asked Li Boshan to wait a moment, then hurried back to the house.
"When I got engaged, I was pressed for time and I didn't do it well. There will be people coming to the city tomorrow, so I'll wear this new suit."
Bai Xiu took out a package, which contained a brand new set of clothes and a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes.
"Thank you Aunt Bai." Li Boshan held the package in his hands, his eyes brightening.
If the mother-in-law makes clothes for her son-in-law herself, that means she approves of her son-in-law!
"My in-laws were so considerate that I completely forgot about it."

Early the next morning, the people who brought the good news arrived at the farm. The farm even hung up big-character posters in the school. Before the people who brought the good news arrived at Team 8, someone came to deliver firecrackers and red flowers to the Li family.
The agency canteen was prepared overnight, and a stove was set up on the drying ground. The ingredients were all brought in by farm vehicles early in the morning.
Feng Yanhong was urged by Bai Xiu early in the morning to go to Li's house to help, and Feng Yanjun was also pushed to the drying yard.
The leaders in the field had a consistent style. After speaking in official terms in the field, they continued to flatter Li's house endlessly.
Feng Yanhong was busy serving tea and water, so she didn't have to stay in the room all the time. She felt a little sympathetic to Li Boshan, who was treated as a decoration by the leaders.
"Sister Yanhong, please sit next to my eldest brother later. Just leave these tasks to my second brother."
"What's wrong?" Li Boqing's words made her confused.
Li Boqing hesitated for a moment, then approached Feng Yanhong and whispered, "I just heard someone say that the director wants to introduce his daughter to my eldest brother."
Feng Yanhong glanced at Li Boqing in surprise, then couldn't help but poke her head in and look inside.
"Bright red."
"Oh, here we come." Feng Yanhong was frightened and responded quickly, rushing into the house with a thermos bottle.
"This is my daughter-in-law. She has just gotten engaged. The wedding will be held before this year. Then all the leaders will be invited to our house for a wedding banquet."
Ji Shuying took the thermos from Feng Yanhong's hand with a smile, handed it to Li Zhong, and pushed Feng Yanhong to the edge of Li Boshan.
Feng Yanhong glanced over, and everyone in the room looked at her. Their palms instantly became sweaty, and they were extremely flustered.
Li Boshan reached out and gave her a hand, gave her a smile that instantly reassured her, and motioned for her to sit next to him.
The leaders of the farm were all officials, and they would say one thing after another about the situation. They would say things like men, talents, and looks, but they would not be the same.
In this way, Feng Yanhong, along with Li Boshan, was treated as the object of flattery. She just nodded and smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled. When she got up in the morning, her face was frozen with laughter.
Before lunch, the two of them finally hid in a corner, and Feng Yanhong kept rubbing her cheeks with both hands.
She had never been paid attention to by so many leaders in her entire life. She really didn't know how Li Boshan could stay so calm and calm.
"Nervous?" Li Boshan helped her straighten her hair with gentle eyebrows.
"Are you not nervous? There are so many leaders. Are you not nervous at all?"
"Fortunately, I actually don't like this scene very much."
Feng Yanhong understood, she didn't like it, but she could deal with it calmly.
Also, how could a good student be like her?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Boshan quietly approached and took the person into his arms.
"Well, I'm not afraid of you."
Feng Yanhong remembered the look and smile Li Boshan gave her in the room, and she still felt a little warm in her heart. He could always make her feel at ease.
