Chapter 267: Chapter 266: "Beijing Wants to Invite You to Help Write This Year’s College Entrance Exam

Gu Jia Ning also missed Amber and the others, so she crouched down and hugged them.

Soon, they went inside the house.

Xingxing and Yueyue played with Amber and her puppies, while Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi looked around the house.

They found the house quite nice, with a lot of furniture, all new, so they didn’t need to buy more.

"You go play with the kids, I’ll organize the luggage," Sheng Zexi said.

"Alright."

Gu Jia Ning went to play with Xingxing, Yueyue, and Amber, while Sheng Zexi quickly organized the luggage.

Then, he started sweeping the floor.

The floor wasn’t actually dirty, but it still needed a sweep.

After sweeping, Sheng Zexi went to the yard, got some water, and mopped the floor twice.

Seeing him working, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t just sit around.

She wasn’t looking for a husband just to have him do all the chores while she relaxed.

So, she brought Xingxing and Yueyue, got some water, and took a cloth to help wipe the tables, chairs, and cabinets.

The feeling of a family working together was quite nice.

During this, Amber talked to Gu Jia Ning about an old lady in the residential compound who seemed to covet her house.

"She came to steal something just a few days ago."

Gu Jia Ning suddenly realized, ah, so that’s how it is.

Does this mean they’ve made an enemy?

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Huan Sha Island, someone already harbored resentment towards her family.

It seems this year at Huan Sha Island will be eventful.

However, Gu Jia Ning wasn’t afraid; if anyone dared to harm her and her family, there was still the malicious intent alarm in place.

In the afternoon, Sheng Zexi went out to buy some essential supplies like firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea before officially starting work.

Although Gu Jia Ning could access these in her space, she couldn’t take them out just yet, so she’d have to wait.

This time, Gu Jia Ning accompanied Sheng Zexi as he was deployed to Huan Sha Island.

Originally working as a doctor in the Northwest Military Region, she had been reassigned to work at the island’s hospital, directly receiving a position as an expert professor.

Gu Jia Ning had planned to start her new job the next day.

However, a phone call suddenly changed her plans.

That afternoon, not long after Sheng Zexi left, a young soldier came to their door.

"Are you Sister-in-law Gu Jia Ning?" the young soldier asked.

Gu Jia Ning nodded, "Yes, that’s me."

"There’s a call for you at the communications office, it’s from the Northwest Military Region, from your master."

Master? Could it be Elder Chen?!

"Alright, I’ll take it."

Gu Jia Ning instructed Xingxing, Yueyue, and Amber to look after the house and went with the young soldier to the communications office.

Soon, she picked up the phone.

"Ning girl, you’ve arrived at Huan Sha Island, how are you finding it?" As soon as she picked up the phone, her master Elder Chen’s familiar voice came through.

"I just arrived today and got settled in, it’s pretty good here. The weather is unpredictable, but it’s not as cold as the Northwest."

"That’s good. By the way, there’s something important to discuss."

"Master, please go on."

"Those in Beijing want to invite you to participate in setting this year’s college entrance exam papers."

"What?!"

Elder Chen’s words shocked Gu Jia Ning.

"But Master, I only have a high school education, are they serious about inviting me to set the exam papers?"

"What high school education, you have professor-level abilities! This title was granted to you exceptionally by the higher-ups, which is several levels above a college degree. With your ability, setting the exam papers is easy. If you’re concerned about your educational background, I’ll have a doctoral degree from Beijing University arranged for you!"

Elder Chen thought that, as long as he mentioned it, Beijing University would certainly be agreeable.

Not to mention Beijing University, other universities would be eager to compete as well.

Listening to her master’s words made Gu Jia Ning feel both happy and helpless.

However, Gu Jia Ning knew that college degrees in this era were quite valuable, so a doctoral degree would be even more significant.

Especially from Beijing University!

Truth be told, Gu Jia Ning really wanted it!

"But I’m supposed to start at the island hospital tomorrow..."

"That can be postponed for now."

"How long will setting the exam papers take?"

"It’s estimated to take at least 2 months. The first college entrance exam after its restoration will be in December, and now it’s October, so you won’t be able to return until the first batch of students finishes their exams."

Gu Jia Ning thought: So this means going to Beijing will take at least 2 months.

What will happen with Xingxing, Yueyue, and Brother Xi...

"Master, I need to think about it."

"Alright, think it over, and give me your decision by tomorrow."

"Okay." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jia Ning returned home.

Sheng Zexi went to procure supplies and came back with a lot of stuff by evening.

Then he immediately went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

In their household, it had always been a tradition since they got married.

That is, as long as Sheng Zexi was home, he cooked and did the dishes.

Over the years, Sheng Zexi had always enjoyed it.

For him, Gu Jia Ning’s hands were meant to wear beautiful jewelry, could be painted with pretty nail polish, and should remain fair and soft, not meant for cooking, washing dishes, or laundry, tasks that would make them rough.

Gu Jia Ning appreciated Sheng Zexi’s care for her.

So when Sheng Zexi cooked, she went to assist him.

"There’s something in my pants pocket for you, take it out."

Gu Jia Ning raised an eyebrow, wondering what it might be?

She reached into Sheng Zexi’s pants pocket and quickly retrieved it.

It turned out to be a barrette with pearls on it.

The light blue pearls were set in the shape of a camellia flower, very beautiful.

Gu Jia Ning, who loved wearing barrettes, instantly fell in love with it, and a smile spread across her face.

"Where did you buy this?"

"I happened to see someone selling it, so I bought it for 5 yuan."

yuan!

That was quite a sum of money in this era.

"The pearls are genuine, though small, they are uniquely light blue," Sheng Zexi explained.

The old lady selling the pearl barrette seemed to be urgently in need of money, and Sheng Zexi happened to see it and thought Gu Jia Ning would definitely love it, so he bought it.

Five yuan was a considerable sum for an average family, but for Sheng Zexi, it wasn’t much.

So he bought it.

As expected, Gu Jia Ning loved it.

She immediately took off the barrette she was wearing and put on the pearl barrette.

Sheng Zexi gazed at her with warmth in his eyes and praised, "It’s beautiful."

Gu Jia Ning smiled. This guy, looking at her, who knew if he was praising the barrette or saying she looked beautiful?

If Sheng Zexi knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say, "Of course, it’s my wife who’s beautiful!"
