Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 84 Enrollment tomorrow

After today's events were over, everyone was happy and satisfied.

In particular, the county magistrate, Li Xiuming.

He sat in the carriage on the return journey, in a pleasant mood.

Thinking back to that lush, vibrant rice paddy,

Considering Lu Qingqing's intelligence and competence,

It was as if he could already see himself being rewarded by the Emperor for this achievement.

A bright prospect of further advancement in one's career.

Li Xiuming's lips curled up, and he muttered to himself:

"This trip was truly worthwhile."

If this matter could truly bring him prestige before the Emperor...

That's fantastic news!

The carriage sped along, kicking up clouds of dust.

Li Xiuming's thoughts had already drifted towards that glorious future.

After the important figures left one after another,

Lu Qingqing's house was bustling with activity once again.

The village chief, in particular, stood in the middle of the crowd and said loudly:

"Listen up, everyone!"

Let's all learn more from Qingqing from now on.

Also, think more about those useful methods.

They've brought honor to our village!

Everyone echoed in agreement:

"Yes, Qingqing is truly a lucky star for our village!"

Sister Liu said with a smile:

"I'll have to make sure my kid gets closer to Qingqing more often from now on."

I'll also benefit from that cleverness.

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement:

"That's right, we all need to learn from them."

Lu Qingqing said somewhat shyly:

"You flatter me. I believe that under the village chief's leadership..."

As long as we work together

The village will definitely get better and better.

Lin Yunlan watched Lu Qingqing from the side.

His eyes were full of pride.

At this moment, the children were laughing and playing in the yard.

Stone, Ermao, Sanmao, and Shuang'er

They also benefited from it.

The village children all gathered around them.

He wanted to play with them and even praised them for having a powerful mother.

"Stone, let me play with you."

Your mother is truly amazing!

A little boy tugged at the corner of the stone's clothes and said.

Stone puffed out his little chest and said proudly:

"Of course, my mother is the best!"

Er Mao and San Mao were surrounded by a group of friends.

Her face turned bright red with excitement.

"Two or three cents,

From now on, we'll all be good friends with you.

Er Mao answered with a grin:

"Great! Let's all play together from now on!"

Shuang'er had two little braids.

He was surrounded by several little girls.

"Shuang'er, your mother is amazing!"

Could you ask her to teach us too?

A little girl blinked her big eyes and asked.

Shuang'er smiled sweetly and said:

"Okay, I'll ask my mother when I get back."

The children's laughter echoed through the village, like the most beautiful melody.

At last,

Everyone helped Lu Qingqing and the others get ready before leaving.

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire village in an orange-red hue.

The villagers' busy figures moved about in the light and shadow.

Some helped tidy up the tables and chairs, while others swept the floor.

Others properly stored the leftover food.

"Qingqing, everything's packed, we'll be going now."

Sister Liu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"Thank you everyone, you've worked hard. Come visit me at home sometime."

Lu Qingqing responded gratefully.

Aunt Wang carried her basket and said as she walked:

"Don't be so polite with us. Just let us know if you need anything in the future."

The crowd chatted and laughed as they gradually dispersed.

The village returned to its former tranquility.

But the liveliness and warmth of this day,

Yet it is deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

In a blink of an eye,

The day arrived when the three boys were to take their entrance exams.

Lin Erzhu delivered the herbal tea alone today.

This reassured Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan, allowing them to send the children to the academy for the tests.

The soft morning sunlight bathed everyone.

Lu Qingqing carefully tidied the children's clothes.

He instructed:

"Stone, Er Mao, San Mao, don't be nervous."

Just perform normally.

The three children nodded solemnly.

His eyes held both anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

Lin Yunlan drove the oxcart in front.

Lu Qingqing and the children sat on the oxcart.

The family happily drove towards Qingshan Academy.

A gentle breeze carries the sweet fragrance of flowers and grass.

The children gazed excitedly at the scenery along the way.

They chattered excitedly about their aspirations for the academy.

"Mother, are there many books in the academy?"

Stone asked curiously.

Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:

Yes, there are so many books.

You will learn a lot from it.

Er Mao continued:

"Then I want to read lots and lots of books and become as smart as Dad."

Sanmao was not to be outdone:

"I'm better than all of you!"

Lu Qingqing burst into laughter at the children's innocent and playful remarks.

Lin Yunlan listened from the front.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Amidst laughter and cheers, Qingshan Academy drew ever closer.

Outside Qingshan Academy, Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan led the children off the oxcart.

A large crowd gathered at the entrance of the academy.

They were all parents who brought their children to participate in the test.

Shi Tou held Lu Qingqing's hand tightly.

His eyes betrayed his nervousness.

Er Mao and San Mao looked around, filled with curiosity about everything around them.

The teachers of the academy were maintaining order at the entrance.

They guided the children into the examination room one by one.

"Kids, don't be afraid, just do your best."

Lu Qingqing encouraged her.

"Father, Mother, wait for our good news."

Shi Tou took a deep breath and led his younger brothers into the academy.

Inside the examination room, the children sat neatly at their desks.

The teachers began distributing the exam papers.

The sound of papers turning was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Sanmao received the test paper.

I read the question carefully first, and then began to answer it seriously.

Er Mao was a little nervous at first.

But seeing familiar questions, I gradually relaxed.

Stone frowned, deep in thought.

Time passed by,

Some children had already finished their test papers and confidently handed them in;

Some children are still engrossed in their writing.

Finally, Sanmao was the first to finish the test.

He checked it carefully and handed it in after confirming that there were no errors.

Er Mao and Shi Tou also finished and left the examination room.

Outside the academy, Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan waited anxiously.

Seeing the children come out, he quickly went to greet them.

"How about it?"

Lin Yunlan asked.

"Dad, Mom, I think it's pretty good."

Sanmao said with a smile.

Er Mao and Shi Tou nodded, indicating that they had performed reasonably well.

They waited at the entrance of the academy for about an hour.

The academy gates finally opened, and a teacher appeared holding a list.

The admission results were announced.

The crowd immediately surrounded them.

Lu Qingqing held the children's hands tightly.

Lin Yunlan led the way for them.

"Silence! Silence!"

The Master said loudly,

"Now I will announce the list of those who passed the entrance exam."

The scene fell silent instantly.

All that could be heard was the Master's clear and powerful voice.

"Li Fu, Wang Rui..."

One by one, the names were read out.

Lu Qingqing's heart was in her throat.

The children clenched their fists nervously.

"Lin Shitou, Lin Ermao, Lin Sanmao".

When you hear your own child's name

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged an excited glance, their eyes filled with joy.

The children jumped up excitedly.

The people around also cast envious glances at them.

"Congratulations! You can enroll at the academy tomorrow."

The Master said with a smile.

Lu Qingqing quickly led the children to thank the teacher.

The family happily rode away from the academy in an oxcart.
