"You, this child, don't come over next time. The sun is so hot, you must beware of heatstroke. Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" Mama Wang took the wooden basket from Wang Cheng's hands and took out the heat-clearing mung bean soup. As soon as the lid of the container was opened, hot air immediately rushed out.

Almost none of the houses under renovation were clean. Papa Wang managed finding a few useless chairs and wiped them clean before they could sit.

There was ample mung bean soup. Wang Cheng took into consideration the workers here as well, so he cooked a lot and also brought a dozen bowls.

Mama Wang placed portions of the mung bean soup into the bowls that Wang Cheng brought, and Papa Wang called the workers to come and drink the soup.

The workers were all from Guans' Village. For efficiency and speed, they had invited a dozen of them. Some of them knew Mama Wang. When they heard there was heat-clearing soup for drinking, they were not surprised. Previously, Mama Wang had given them several servings of heat-clearing soup for them to drink. There was a lot and they could practically drink it until they were full.

When they got together, everyone chatted. The college entrance examination results just came out and the enthusiasm about it had not yet subsided; hence, it was inevitable that they would talk about the provincial top scorer. The news about Wang Ziyu becoming the provincial top scorer had already spread like wildfire. There was no one here who did not know. People, who were familiar with Wang Cheng's family, were inevitably envious because of their three children. Two of their children's academic scores were so good so that it made people jealous. Although their second son's scores in school were not as good as Wang Ning'an's and Wang Ziyu's, he was still pretty good. Wonder how many generations they have cultivated to bring such good luck to their family.

Papa Wang liked listening to those who praise his children and laughed when some of the workers asked how he trained them. He also talked with others about parenting. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Brother Wang, your family seems to have a relative who's child participated in the college entrance exams, but the results don't seem to be ideal." Guan Dayan suddenly remembered this. He was one of the workers recruited by Papa Wang. He was two years older than Papa Wang. Even if he heard some rumors about them, when he said this kind of thing, he should have been more careful.

Their family's relatives were nothing more than Wang Cheng's eldest uncle and second uncle's families.

Both of their new houses were also being renovated nearby. The shameless Mrs. Zhang, Wang Cheng's second aunt, would come over every few days. To say it nicely, she was dropping by. However, to say it bluntly, she came over to pick a fight. After several occasions that she dropped by, it gave Guan Dayan a very deep impression of them. Soon, he realized the relationship between the two families was not good. However, since the college entrance examination result had been announced, Wang Cheng's second aunt never came to visit again.

"Uncle Yan, you're referring to my Second Uncle's daughter, right? It's true that they have a daughter who also participated in the college entrance exam this year. It's my cousin Wang Ningxiang, but I don't know her results."

For Wang Cheng, his impression of his second aunt was very poor. Of course, he also did not have a good impression of his cousin Wang Ningxiang. Her temper was the same as his second aunt. From the moment she was young, she had never liked studying, so how could she get a good result in the college entrance examination? Hence, Wang Cheng talked like this on purpose.
