The next day.

In Naye Village.

Deng Shirong got up early to brush teeth and wash face, first went to Lychee Mountain to pick a bag of fresh lyche, then to the supermarket for a piece of pork and a bag of candy cookies. After returning home, she started to boil water and kill a Chicken, putting the cleaned chicken and pork into the pot to cook.

Rice was alsocooked in the electric cooker, waiting for the chicken and pork to be cooked. Once everything was ready, she took the cooked chicken and pork out of the pot and placed them on a plate, sprinkled with a bit of salt. She then carried six bowls of rice, several pieces of silverware, and a jug of water and tea. When presenting to Grandfather, it was not a festival, nor a special day, but Deng Shirong suddenly thought of the sacrificial items and went to borrow from Grandfather, seeing the clansmen, they all felt curious, asking questions about this.

It's a good Thing, Deng Shirong naturally didn't hide, smiling and telling her three sons and three daughters about their new jobs.

No need for much talk, the news spread, and the whole clan was stirred.

Deng Shirong finished visiting Grandfather, returned home to make a large table of dishes, calling Dengyugui, Dengaoshang, and Dengaosh to drink.

"You are really Amazing."

"Both of you are So Strong, this is all unprecedented, Dengaoshan is also making history."

"Or let me teach you a lesson!"

"..."

During the meal, Dengyugui and others toasted toasts, but mostly chatted, drinking as a side note, so most of them only drank a few sips, all minds were very clear.

The meal and drinks were finished, a few toasts greeted and left.

Dengyugui, not in a hurry, but taking a smoke pipe, puffed and puffed, started the smoke.

Deng Shirong sat in front of Dengaoshan, seeing the red-faced Dengaoshan, suddenly thought of an important message.

The previous life of Dengaoshan, who passed away, but even after rebirth, Deng Shirong's fate has dramatically changed, but the question still lingers.

Dengshirong "When you mention the smoke, it's about your 70th birthday, don't you have a grand plan?"

Dengaoshan, holding the smoke cylinder, said with a puff and puffed, "There isn’t a grand plan, please, let's have a few people celebrate together with three or five tables of guests."

Dengshirong chuckled, "To hell with a shout, ho! Dengaoshan, holding the smoke cylinder, chuckled, "No need to say, even if no one invited, it would all.

she could imagine."

Dengshirong, lighting the smoke, puffed and puffed, "Indeed, already 70, as the saying goes, 'Seventy is rare, I can live to this age and be satisfied."

Now in Naye Village, I am the oldest one in the village."

Dengshirong found something, the entire Naye Clan has a lot of people older than Dengaoshan, but in their village,ayey, currently, Dengshirong is the oldest one in the village, despite not knowing when this will happen, dengshirong is still uncertain.

"I don't know when this will come to pass, even if Dengyugui can survive the year of this disaster, Dengaoshan still does not know"

Dengshirong, guiding the conversation, "However, due to war and chaos, plus poor living conditions and medical care, the village had few elders."

Dengaoshan, passing the smoke pipe to her uncle, said, "Indeed, in the 1950s, the village had few elders who lived past 60, but now, more and more people are living past 60."

Dengaoshan, puffing and puffed, "Once a person reaches a certain age, various health issues arise, so you must be careful, it's best to have a full body check every three months, for disease prevention and early detection."

Dengaoshan, setting the smoke aside, nodded and said, "Uncle you are right, I will go for regular health checks."

Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the pipe and said, "I will have someone spread the word, so that everyone in the clan who is older should get into the habit of regular health check-ups. I led the effort to build such a large hospital in the village precisely to ensure the health and safety of the clan members."

"If everyone doesn’t get regular check-ups and only goes to the hospital when they are sick, wouldn’t the hospital be a waste of resources?"

Deng Yungui laughed, "Uncle Jiu, if you say it, everyone will listen. Actually, no one is short of money now, and the cost of the check-up is negligible. It’s just that the habit of regular check-ups hasn’t been formed yet. Everyone has always only gone to the doctor when they are sick, and never thought about getting a check-up when they are healthy!"

"Hmm, the concept of regular health check-ups must be instilled as soon as possible. Many fatal diseases show no obvious symptoms in their early stages, and a slight carelessness can lead to overlooking them. By the time people realize something is wrong, it’s already too late."

Deng Shirong lit his tobacco and puffed away, emphasizing the importance of regular health check-ups to Deng Yungui several times until he was sure that Deng Yungui had truly understood, then he moved on to other topics.

After all, the reminder had been given, and the rest was up to fate and destiny.

...

Midday.

Nanning No. 3 High School.

Dongzi was chilling with two good brothers in the dorm, enjoying the air conditioning and a delicious lunch.

The dorm Dongzi was staying in was not the one uniformly assigned by the school, but the fully equipped dorm that his sister had lived in during her high school years.

After his sister graduated from high school and Dongzi started high School, Grandfather made a call to the school authorities, and Dongzi smoothly moved into the dorm his sister had lived in for three years.

To be honest, with Dongzi’s grades, he didn’t have the qualifications to enter Nanning No. 3 High School, a provincial key high school. But who could have guessed he had such a good grandfather? For ordinary students, entering Nanning No. 3 High School was indeed very difficult, but for Dongzi, it was just a matter of a call from his grandfather.

After moving into the school, Dongzi also enjoyed the same treatment his sister had enjoyed. The family’s security personnel delivered his meals three times a day, making him as happy as could be.

At the moment, eating with Dongzi were his two closest classmates, one named Zhang Tiesheng and the other named Wei Jianlin. Both had excellent academic performance, and while it was still unclear if they would get into a key university, getting into a first-tier university was a sure thing.

In this aspect, they were much better than Dongzi. Dongzi was a bit of a lost cause, despite having resources that ninety-nine percent of people couldn’t compare to, his grades just wouldn’t improve, no matter how good the tutors were. Getting into a second-tier university was his limit.

As for a first-tier university, that was out of the question.

Dongzi was also a person of righteousness and brotherhood. After getting along well with Zhang Tiesheng and Wei Jianlin, he invited them to live and eat together. Now, Zhang and Wei both looked up to him.

Zhang Tiesheng picked up a piece of braised meat, praised while eating, "Brother Dong, the braised meat your family makes is truly amazing. Not only is the color top-notch, but the texture is perfect—neither greasy nor dry, just right, and the more you chew, the more it becomes fragrant. It’s truly unforgettable!"

Wei Jianlin nodded in agreement, "Yes, the braised meat my mother makes can’t compare to this at all."

Dongzi laughed heartily, "If you like it, eat more. The college entrance exam is just a few days away. After the exam, you won’t have many opportunities to eat this!"

Wei Jianlin asked, "Brother Dong, which city’s university do you plan to fill in for your college entrance exam?"

Dongzi replied, "If everything goes as planned, it should be a university in the capital!"

Zhang Tiesheng said without hesitation, "Brother Dong, since you are choosing a university in the capital, I will also choose a university in the capital. Even if we don’t end up in the same school, at least we will be in the same city and can meet up from time to time."

Wei Jianlin also chimed in, "I will also choose a university in the capital."

Dongzi laughed heartily, "Good brothers, when the time comes, I will introduce you to some beautiful senior girls. I have the resources for that!"

Zhang Tiesheng’s eyes lit up, excited, "Brother Dong, you’re serious?"

Wei Jianlin also looked at Dongzi with a burning gaze.

All of them were in their late teens, the age when they most yearned for women. During high school, the pressure of studies was high, and the school rules were strict, so not having a girlfriend was normal.

But in university, besides studies, the most important thing would naturally be getting a girlfriend, which was something many high school students had longed for.

Dongzi swallowed the food in his mouth and then said with a smile, "Of course, it’s true. Have you forgotten? My sister is studying in the capital, and she told me that all the girls in her dorm are beauties. When I get to the capital, my sister will definitely introduce these senior girls to me."

"If you don’t want to find a senior girl, finding a beautiful girl from the same year isn’t a problem either. My sister has plenty of resources!"

This statement made Zhang Tiesheng and Wei Jianlin’s hearts race with excitement, and they looked forward to their upcoming college life even more.

...

The college entrance exam arrived on schedule.

Three years ago, when Xiaodong'er took the college entrance exam, the whole family was extremely supportive!

Not only did Grandfather accompany her throughout the exam, but her parents also took time off from their busy schedules to come back. Even her second uncle and aunt, as well as her third uncle and aunt, who lived far away, called to show their concern for her exam.

Other uncles, aunts, and cousins who couldn’t make it also called to show their support.

However, when Dongzi took the college entrance exam, it was just like any other day at school. Apart from Grandfather, who specially came from the hometown, no one else showed up.

His parents didn’t even bother to come back from their business, and Dongzi suspected they had completely forgotten that their son was taking the exam.

His uncles, aunts, and cousins didn’t call either, making the scene quite bleak.

Looking at Grandfather, who had specially come back, Dongzi said with a grateful expression, "Grandfather, you are the only one who cares about me. You even came all the way to Nanning to encourage me. I will do my best, aiming for a second-tier university and striving for a first-tier one, so I won’t disappoint you."

Deng Shirong asked in confusion, "Dongzi, what do you mean by 'aiming for a second-tier university and striving for a first-tier one'?"

Dongzi explained, "Grandfather, it means I will try my best to secure a place in a second-tier university and aim to get into a first-tier one!"

Deng Shirong was surprised, "Dongzi, you are taking the college entrance exam?"

Dongzi's expression froze: "..."

If there were emojis, he would definitely send a few bleeding face emojis, it was so frustrating!

Was it really that hard to be a mediocre student?

Even something as significant as taking the college entrance exam wasn’t worth remembering by his family?

Deng Shirong patted Dongzi's shoulder, encouraging him, "Since you are taking the exam, do your best. This year is the fourth year of the university expansion, so the number of admissions is much higher than before. If nothing goes wrong, you will still have a chance to go to university.

In this regard, you are much better off than your father.

Your father’s academic performance was decent back then, but the number of university admissions was so low that it was like a thousand people trying to cross a narrow bridge. If the admissions were as many as they are now, your father would definitely have been a college student."

Dongzi replied with a lack of enthusiasm, "I understand, Grandfather. I will do my best."

...

While Dongzi was taking the college entrance exam, Deng Shirong had already flown to the capital.

He didn’t come from his hometown to accompany Dongzi, as Dongzi’s academic performance was such that it wasn’t worth the effort. The best he could hope for was a second-tier university, and most likely a third-tier one, which was better than nothing, but not worth the trouble of accompanying him.

He came from his hometown to accompany his granddaughter to the international hunting ground in Heilongjiang.

Upon arriving in the capital, Deng Shirong chose to stay in a courtyard house closest to Peking University.

The seven courtyard houses, one for each of his children, were usually unoccupied. They were only used occasionally when the family came to the capital for business or tourism.

However, each courtyard house had dedicated staff to take care of the plants and clean the premises. These were people Deng Shirong had carefully selected in the capital, all honest and of good character, and they had never caused any problems over the years.

Before meeting his granddaughter, Deng Shirong first met her four bodyguards.

Yes, even though Xiaodong'er was just a college student, Deng Shirong, out of concern for her safety, had arranged for four bodyguards to protect her.

These four bodyguards, two men and two women, were not publicly known. They protected Xiaodong'er from the shadows.

In fact, Xiaodong'er had no idea that she was being protected by bodyguards.

Deng Shirong didn’t want the bodyguards to interfere with her daily life. Although protecting her from the shadows was more challenging, Xiaodong'er was a well-behaved college student who had never offended anyone, and her identity was unknown to others, so she was unlikely to encounter any danger.

The bodyguards were a precautionary measure.

The leader of the bodyguard team reported to Deng Shirong, "Boss, the young miss rarely goes out alone. She usually goes out with her dorm mates, and there have been no suspicious individuals approaching her recently."

Deng Shirong nodded, "Good, remain vigilant. In three days, the young miss will be accompanying her dorm mates to the Taoshan International Hunting Ground in Heilongjiang. I will be going with them, so you need to ensure all security measures are in place."

"Yes, Boss!"
